He’s in a tricky position but I’d like to see him create anything that he finds interesting. It doesn’t need to be as refined as Obra Dinn, but it would be a shame if he didn’t release something just because it’s 75% as good as Obra Dinn.

Lucas Pope is a much smarter person than me, so I’m sure he’ll make the right decision for him. I’m sure just making money doesn’t mean all that much to him anymore.

At least the new version will be free if you have the old one. Wonder what the changes are.

I would guess ai-enhanced backgrounds like we’ve had mods for for ages.

I think economics would basically push things that way. If most people cannot or will not buy the latest hardware, the investment of 600 million dollars or more into a AAAA game that hardly anyone can run won’t happen.

As an NVIDIA user, I would love an AMD system that supports quick resume like the steam deck. To me, that’s the killer feature that Valve has nailed with SteamOS. Raw performance isn’t a priority for me given AAA games have been shit compared to Indies the last few years.

Cyber dopamine’s test needs to be retested for this to be true. I love gaming on Linux and also regularly use my steam deck yada yada yada but come on.

6 of the 8 games were on my ITAD wait list so I’m thrilled. Best month I’ve ever seen.

Thank you for input that isn’t just negative rhetoric.

Shocking initial decision to do that. People making decisions from up high don’t really understand how niche this game is and how they cannot afford to be this anti-consumer… leave that to the FIFA/Diablos where the fans are already willing to do that for some reason.

Steve just does that as a bit, Photoshopping his head on to the protagonist’s body. These guys are like the Australian Digital Foundry that focuses on hardware. They’re very thorough.

Hard agree. My expectations were “more hollow knight but with a slightly different game feel and maybe ramped up difficulty” and it’s delivering that exactly.

“More hollow knight” might sound reductive, but HK was a 10/10 metroidvania so I see no issues with more of that.

I agree that the change in movement has made it challenging again. I’m sure veterans like Fireb0rn are still crushing everything.

As an Australian I’m extremely patriotic about Team Cherry. Great team.

Oh for sure. Those two games are peak platforming for me.

I’m loving Silksong by the way.

If hollow knight movement involved jumping up and down and dashing left/right, silksong involves moving in more of a saw-tooth pattern. Platforming and combat challenges are feeling fresh as a result.

Haha exactly. Celeste B sides will give you that feeling too if you’re up for more masochism.

You better believe that Rockstar will be doing preorders as well. Those sales will be spread out over weeks, so won’t experience the congestion caused by Silksong.

Path of pain changes a man.

Does it look like this APU is going to be used in a Steam Console, VR headset, or the Steam deck 2? I had assumed console, but it seems a little underbaked in 2025, so maybe a mobile device makes more sense.

Valve tend to be getting it right with their hardware choices since the steam controller, so I’m sure whatever they do there will be good design sense behind it.

I played it earlier this year after having played the first 2 only (and that was 10-15 years ago). Infinite is a good game, graphics hold up beautifully. I wouldn’t say it’s one of the greatest of all time but it was a very good game regardless.

Probably there was a hype cycle at the time of its release that I wasn’t aware of, as that’s the only way I see it as being regarded as meh.

Honestly it’s just more Bioshock, but set in the clouds rather than underwater, I liked the change of style.

We’ll be waiting a year just for the PC release. I honestly don’t mind. Playing a fully patched game is generally worth waiting for as well.

Absolutely crazy.

Seems like they should have just gone with these VRAM configs with the non-super variants from the start.

After using steamOS, I’m more likely to buy a new AMD card when support for desktops comes in, or use Bazzite.

I really really would like quick resume on PC. That would be so much more valuable to me than multi-frame gen and path tracing.

Until then, my 3070ti (8gb VRAM) will have to do.

Morphine was switched to Med-X (worldwide) due to refusal for classification in Australia for Fallout 3 in 2008. Fallout has used the word “chems” in every country since the start I thought.

Are you claiming that all video games have to have green blood to be sold in Australia?
