I read that article. I am in no hurry, I will speculate that it will eventually come to other stores.
You’re not missing anything. Heavy modding of older games PC can be a pain in the ass.
You can usually find a somewhat coherent and structured guide that will give you a step by step process, but will still be time-consuming (and there will likely be exceptions or outdated information).
The best option is to keep mods to minimum unless you know what you are doing and it’s a game that you play on a permanent basis.
Beautiful screenshots! Too bad that it’s going to take a while until it’s released outside of the Epic store (on PC).
I think the real world implementation of “Kingdoms of Elyria” is Kingdoms Reborn. A multiplayer 4X/city-builder hybrid (although it works just fine in single player too).
I am so excited for this game! I went into the original Citizen Sleeper without any prior knowledge of the game, ended up finishing it in two (pretty long) sessions.
I don’t think it would be possible to make a tycoon/management game with an official Stargate license. The IP holders would want returns of such a size that would be unrealistic for the tycoon/management game genre. Although Two Point Studios have seen what seems like mainstream success.
It feels like a complete bloodbath with the job situation in the gaming industry in the west.
The worst thing is none of the executives are getting fired (in a proper manner, no golden parachutes and clawbacks on any stock based compensation).
Option #4 sounds most realistic.
I would have to agree. And I don’t think it’s a good idea to have ray tracing as a mandatory feature.
I think some basic level of support for ray-tracing will be mandatory for dGPUs in the coming years.
I can’t imagine many people who haven’t tried Final Fantasy are going to play this. This seems like a game for super fans only.
FWIW, the last FF game I tried was FF7 in the early 2000s. Bounced off of it in ~40 minutes. I had only played cRPGs and I never really tried any JRPGs (nothing wrong with them, they just not for me).
That being said, I am actually considering trying the original FF7 with mods one of these days.
Missed the word “oligarch”. 😆
Huffman is just another american technology oligarch. It is in his interest to spread corruption and undermine rule of law.
I’ve tried it out. It’s actually a pretty solid early-access game. Excellent atmosphere and setting.
Respect to the dev with being so open with the community.
I wouldn’t be so sure that SQ42 will be a guaranteed slam dunk as many SC fans seem to be speculating. That’s if it ever does get released or course.
The gameplay in the recent demo is subpar. FPS combat in particular was trash, far worse than HL1; a game released more than a quarter of a century ago. Turret gunning and the platforming parts looked decent but they are not going to carry the game. No example of player controlled space flight was shown.
The space battles looked nice in a b-movie kind of way, but I have my doubts how this will translate to fun space flight gameplay.
From SC, we know that they have a very history of even basic conceptual balance and they are horrible at iterative play testing.
Regarding the Hollywood cast, Gary Oldman sounded like he wanted to get his money and get out of there ASAP. Anderson wasn’t much better. Writing was some high school-level drivel “we must win because we must!” and lots of shouty one liners. There is a very real possibility that the whole thing will be a Wing Commander: The Movie - 30 hours of tedious custscenes. And you just know it’s going to take itself extremely seriously (think the space bulldozer scene in Wing Commander).
Looking at the UI/UX of SC, it’s not unreasonable to assume SQ42 will suffer the same sorry fate. Very flashy ironman-style UI visuals that are nigh unusable in a video game.
Let’s see what happens.
This makes me really want to try both HL1 and HL2 in VR. 😜
I am not sure I want to play Ravenholm in VR. 😆
You tried HL1 in VR too?
Would love to try both. I wouldn’t even mind HL1 in VR (HL1 is my favourite in the series, other release are exemplary as well).
I should honestly try the 3rd one. These days I don’t really play FPSs other than replaying HL1/HL2 (and their expansions) and Max Payne 1/2 usually in back to back sessions.
I would of course play HL3 (still have to play HLA; I don’t have an index).
The original was definitely the best (haven’t played Max Payne 3 though), but I thought the sequel was solid enough.
Every 2-3 years I do a replay of both games back to back. It’s almost like a single package for me.
It honestly does sound very unique and compelling. This seems the like kind of game that makes me stick to mostly indie titles.
