News - ARC Raiders gets Denuvo Anti-Cheat, a new trader, a new weapon and more

Does it run on Mac? EAC + no native is a blocker for macOS because there is no Proton EAC runtime equivalent for Mac. However with Denuvo it might run.

at least it's not the DRM I guess but anything Irdeto puts out as far as I'm concerned is akin to digital smallpox and I ain't interested

Very glad I didn't pick this up, given how I feel about Denuvo.

I personally do like Bullet Heaven as a tag for the VS-likes. Because, yeah, those games do make you feel like you are the danmaku boss instead of the other way around.

Quoting: StellaWhy did they remove Lego? That tag was genuinely useful
My guess is LEGO didn't like non-licensed games tagged with LEGO (can't blame them for that).
All LEGO games have LEGO in the title, so the tag didn't make sense anyway.

Quoting: scaine[...]like Borderlands 4, which might be technically "role playing", but not really what I would associate with that tag.
Gamers often have no idea about Genres. Something that contains roleplay elements (as character building via skills and equipment) becomes "RPG" for some people. Even developers/publishers have this issue. Horizon Zero Dawn is no RPG (as Sony claims it) but an Action Adventure.

I guess they don't want to get legal issues with Lego as some YouTubers for wrong labeling. 😅 Relabeling as [Building Blocks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_blocks_(toy)) would probably be the right way.

Seen people comment that it works pretty well on CachyOS+Proton-GE, but I have a hard time believing that since Forza 5 login is borked too, just uninstalled the whole game. I'll just wait...at least it's refundable. I paid for FH5 twice 😭

Well ... historically consoles degenerated over the years. Not a surprise they try to apply life support to their dying platforms in the form of exclusives. It's how Nintendon't (despite suing people) survived the last two decades and yet don't know they are on a dying platform as well.

I mean not even Microsoft realised Windows is a dead platform as well and still clinging to it and just making the live of every Windows users even more miserable every day just because they can not let go and accept the future is cross platform (not web based cross platform)

Give either EXWM or EWM a try?

TBH for me all their best Single player games are already on PC. The only thing currently I would be interested in the future is another addition to the Last of Us series and potentially a new God of War game. I would assume both these titles would not launch til PS6 at this point.

Though hopefully some good will come out of this and Sony will refocus on making good Single player games again. This constant chasing of live service money is clearly not working.

I would've enjoyed sightseeing in Yotei at some point, but it's not enough of a draw to make me buy the hardware. A handful of mostly unremarkable exclusive games per generation means 'see ya in 20 years!' if that.

Overcorrection.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI don't quite understand some of them.
For example: Why remove "Warhammer 40k" as a tag?
Considering the removal of LEGO, Dungeons & Dragons and Games Workshop, I guess it's a push to "de-brandize" tags, remove IP/trademarked terms, and go in a more general direction than referencing other companies or specific products.

Obvious. When the market becomes competitive, just cut off the largest share of consumers from you potential customer share.

Instead of replacing the jobs of the consumers, leaving them with no salary to spend in games, of all the jobs they could have replaced with AI they should have started with the easiest ones to automatize. CEOs 🤣.

@TheSHEEEP
They generaly removed tags that are IPs. Also, Warhammer games are already really upfront about what they are in the title ;)

Quoting: WMan22I wish this was just a regular feature like OtherOS was on PS3, the value add this gives to consoles, especially surrounding matters of End of Life plans, is downright nuts.

Like, Sony's pulling out of single player PC gaming because they want people to buy Playstations but if they just simply made this a feature, bringing PC to Playstation instead of Playstation to PC, they'd accomplish their goal with considerable efficiency. Hell, I'd buy a Playstation again if they did this.
the only way for that to happen is if valve and / or micrsoft sell a shit ton of consoles with their open platform aproach and sony see thenselves forced to follow.

This is a huge loss for everyone, including Sony itself...
I wonder if this has something to do with the next Xbox console being a PC and probaply able to play their games.

For now I´m just gonna be patient in the ancient wisdom that everything comes (back) to Steam eventually.

I cannot imagine that being a smart move financially. Most people I know who game on PC have bought at least on of the titles Sony brought over. Only one of them has a PS and most would never get one no matter which games they miss.

I don't know what Sony expected... That people start getting a PS after playing formerly exclusive games on PC? That everyone would start using PSN in one way or another?
They treated their PC customers less than stellar: forced PSN, Denuvo, intentionally breaking fetures on Linux, ports coming a year after their PS release at best... which is a shame, because some of those are technically quite good otherwise. I've always felt that bringing games to PC was a very good idea followed by a couple really bad ones.

After buying Bungie for way too much money, aiming to go full live service with about a dozen games, Concord arguably being the biggest finanical flop in gaming history and Marathon doing meh on Steam I thought they'd make some good decisions now that would make them some money. Seems like they don't want to do it on PC. Bummer. I'd have bought a PC version of Bloodborne in a heartbeat if it'd had been a proper port.

I don't know what'll happen to Sony if they keep making weird decisions, but seeing that they closed Bluepoint of all studios makes me think that a couple more will end up on the chopping block. I wonder who's next. My guess is that Horizon Hunters Gathering will be the end of Guerrilla. Well, we'll see...

Sure Gabe, you're not an adult so am I not, also.
There's a developer content flag system that's independent of the user tags.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If they prefer to not sell more games and trying (again) to force gamers into their platform...
When did this ever work out?
Sure, they'll try for a while. And then realize again... and come back to PC.

Do they think people have consoles and PCs? I have no data, but my impression so far was, the majority of people either are console players or PC gamers. Sure there are some that have both. Yet offering stuff on more platforms usually results in more copies. Only if they can really say people are buying now PC copies instead of console copies, it's a resonable conclusion to go console exclusive again. I doubt that though. I think PC gamers also bought their games additionally to the console gamers.

Well, I also won't get a console to play exclusives. Too many other games to play.
