elder scrolls is a big enough normie game that it'll probably be on everything, starfield will probably be exclusive, say goodbye to future doom/wolf/preys on playstation. but they'll be on PC/Steam regardless

Digital Foundry did their alalysis of Crysis Remastered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Az4-2o9AI It's pretty disappointing. The dev team used the PS3 / 360 version as a starting point (which makes some sense - that version was ported to the newer engine), and is visually downgraded in a lot of respects. It also looks better in some ways, but I just can't see why anyone who owns the original would buy this.

GhostDog posted:Freedom Fighters has been re-released digitally (on GOG already, but supposedly coming to Steam as well) Oh man I loved this game, slowly working my way through each map, building a big army of dudes and then rolling with them. I wonder if it holds up... I feel like no game since has ever really nailed the perfect balance between getting to make important tactical decisions on the fly and making those decisions really simple. I love that the first screenshot on GOG is from my favorite setpiece in the game: you slowly make your way up this long, painful chokepoint, picking off dudes yourself from above and sending your troops further and further down the road, and then when you get up to the cross-street, a tank rolls up and pins your dudes down until you can run up there with a rocket launcher. At least that's how I remember it. I played it on my Gamecube for goodness sake! Also yeah the story is goofy as hell and I love it.

You could totally be correct, I just don’t understand the reasoning here.

Fruits of the sea posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you just mod ES6 by playing on an account with admin access and running 3rd party installers/mod organizers with admin rights? If you buy the game through Microsoft Store (including Game Pass), no. All MS Store games are installed in a folder whose permissions are beyond admin access. Even taking ownership of the folder will not allow modification of it, Windows 10 will fight against you. If you get it on Steam then there will be no issues, should work like any other game as long as Valve will not support the Windows 10 app system. Microsoft is still releasing on Steam so all their purchased Bethesda games should go on there too. Superanos fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Sep 21, 2020 |

Making it a console exclusive wouldn't drive enough PS5 owners to buy a series * and game vs the amount they'd be making from selling more copies of the games everywhere is the reasoning. Whether or not it pans out that way who knows.

Yeah, but if MS or anyone else thought about money and sales in a 1:1 way like you’re describing then they probably wouldn’t be selling consoles at a huge loss either. Does having ES as a console exclusive build the brand, particularly in conjunction with all the other exclusives they get from this purchase? The post I was responding to said that the game is big with normies. That’s who you want to build mindshare with.

Mordja posted:Man, some of that art stuff is rough, and it's kind of bizarre they just completely cut out a level. The fact that the remaster is still so CPU-bound and still bad at using multiple cores is also mystifying, like, what's the point if the main bottleneck wasn't fixed? As il serpente cosmico said, this Remaster was based off the console port of the original game; that version also had the VTOL level on consoles cut due to hardware limitations. So this is a bad remaster of a mediocre port

The remaster's main selling point, raytracing, is also unusable because it causes half-second long stutters repeatedly. What a terrible port. The proper way to do it would be to rebuild the game from the ground up in DX12, but that ain't happening anytime soon. Maybe Bluepoint can do a proper remake of it someday. As it stands, the game runs like trash, it's still CPU-bound (even at high resolutions), the CPU takes a progressively larger hit when you up the resolution to compound the problem, content is cut, visual features are removed, art was changed to ill-effect, physics objects scaled down, certain inputs are hosed up, and the most noteworthy feature addition is unusable.

I’m annoyed, I was looking forwards to the remaster just for controller support that made sense but that’s just... ugggh. And if it’s off console code it probably doesn’t even have the hilarity of being able to support three graphics cards in SLI while not knowing what to do with more than one CPU core.

Was Crysis really fun back in the day or did it just get acclaim for the graphics? All I can really remember is chucking turtles at things and getting shot at by dudes on the opposite side of the map.

All I can really remember is chucking turtles at things and getting shot at by dudes on the opposite side of the map. It's fun if you play it right, miserable if you just turn on armor and try to facetank the entire game. Also Warhead has much better gameplay than the original in some senses. If Crysis is a tactical stealth action game, Warhead is a "gently caress you bitch, I'm a god of destruction" game. God the remaster looks like an absolute pile. It needs to be thrown the gently caress away and the whole thing re-done starting with original PC Crysis and Warhead and re-creating everything.

Its sandbox design became more and more constrained as the game progressed, leading to some surprisingly short and tepid experiences in the back half. People most remember it because the first 4ish levels make a great impression.

NObodyNOWHERE posted:“Game that’s huge with normies” sounds like exactly what you’d want for an exclusive though, right? games like wolfenstein though aren't really normie mainstream, it's stuff that hardcore gamers care about, and hardcore gamers will only buy a console if it has The Best Exclusives. that's the whole thing with xbox is that gamers(tm) just say "why would I buy that, it has no games". but normies will buy an xbox one s because it has minecraft installed on it so anything from bethesda that is normie mainstream like TES should end up releasing on all platforms, and then stuff like starfield that only people that post on message boards even know what it's called (and even then we know little about it), that will probably be xbox/PC-only like Grounded and Avowed are whatever arkane does after deathloop will probably be xbox exclusive as well because their games just don't sell as much as any of bethesda's other properties, so something like Prey 2(3?) would have more value as an exclusive that could MAYBE drive hardware even if it makes not very much money, vs being on everything and being a modest success at best personally I feel like Grounded would benefit from being on more platforms since it's an early access survival game and that probably isn't going to sway anyone to buy a console just for that, but microsoft's keeping it xbox-only for now at least, which i guess sucks for Obsidian because it will get less attention and visibility, but again, it's worth more to Microsoft as "we have lots of exclusives" than "here's an exciting new IP that we need to get in as many hands as possible" e: as for "where are the games" from Microsoft's acquired studios... Compulsion - they are a small studio and We Happy Few was way too big for them, my guess is the next game they make is gonna take a while to produce Double Fine - psychonauts 2 already had platforms decided upon, and.. it's double fine, so they take 10 years to make a game Ninja Theory - working on Hellblade 2 Obsidian - working on Grounded, Avowed Playground Games - working on Fable Rare - working on both Sea of Thieves and Everwild The Coalition - working on Gears 6 prob The Initiative - ???? Turn 10 - some Forza game prob Undead Labs - working on State of Decay 3 inXile - just released Wasteland 3 The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Sep 22, 2020 |
