Dev team just made a cool 1.3m ... that's awesome!!! We soooo need more successful dev teams that take Linux seriously, just like @frawo said.

Maybe hopefully this cash infusion will speed up the release? Two more years and I'll have completely forgotten it exists!

from those screenshots and description, if you were to tell me this was just an overhaul of the original deus ex, I would totally believe you.

WHICH I LOVE.

So yeah, this is high on my wishlist.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeHonestly I will play the old games until the day I die, especially when the community never stops making amazing new content.

ha! I could not agree more. Especially since ... once a year my good friend and I pick a community megawad or conversion or whatever for d1 or d2 and just run through the entire thing as fast as we can (which is usually like a couple months lol). We loved Sigil and can't wait to play Sigil 2 or whatever Romero is calling it.

Also ... ever since I played Warhammer Boltgun, I've had this recurring thought exactly like you: What if modern id made a game like this in gzd. They could do something like this in between the huge gigantic AAA releases and just .......... GO BONKERS. Do whatever crazy fun stuff they wanted.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeSo those of you worried this will be like Eternal, it won't be.. and it won't be like 2016 either

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/doom-the-dark-ages-is-introducing-big-changes-to-combat-because-id-software-came-to-one-core-realization-every-projectile-mattered-in-the-original-doom/

They're essentially trying to make it closer to the original doom games

It sounds very promising

Thank you for the link! This specifically ...

"But for long-time fans of the series, people who played the original Doom, you'll see it's really a return to form."

... IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!! Oh man, my excitement just shot up for this. Bring. It. On.

echoing what others have said here: As long as it's more like the 2016 game and not Eternal: bring it on! Eternal was not a Doom game, it was a silly platforming weapon management sim. The devs completely forgot what was fun about Doom when they made that game.

Just keep it simple! This is Doom we're talking about. Does it really need building size mechs? I'm not sure. I'll wait for some more previews to see if this is even interesting to me at all. Time will tell.

Quoting: ArehandoroObsidian are great. I wish they could have stayed independent, though.

They were great. Past tense. I loved most games they used to make, but I have zero interest in the games they're making these days. Not sure why some devs think everybody loves first person games. I certainly don't.

I mean, you really need to ask that question? ................ Skyrim is one of the most popular and highest selling games .. EVER. In history.

Fallout games (like all of them) are incredibly popular.

Dragon Age series.

Deus Ex series.

Far Cry series.

Cyberpunk.

Borderlands.

I could keep going for a very long time.

The reason some devs think everyone loves first person games ........ is because everyone loves first person games. LOL.

Quote...probably means Obsidian Entertainment are working on a new one don't you think?

They are working on a game in the PoE universe (aowed or something like that) word but not exactly a sequel.

Avowed
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2457220/Avowed/

It's more like a skyrim game. First person action adventure. Not sure how deep the rpg elements will go, definitely a lot shallower than the top down PoE2 though.

PoE2 was one of my favorite games I played in the past several years. It was SOOO GOOOD. I really hope the eventually do a proper top down sequel with all the deep rpg elements. I loved the entire game.

Quoting: AnzaLooked at the reviews out of curiosity and it's full of microtransactions and grinding. The bundle is actually great deal as it contains the costly DLC, which probably make the game probably much better. I wonder if they're using the bundle to get some positive reviews to balance out the current negative ones.

I bought the bundle that contains all the dlc for a HUGE discount some time ago, I think I paid $20 total for it. Played it a bunch and haven't been inundated with in-game dlc or mtx at all. Honestly I don't even know what's the core game or what's the dlc.

As far as grinding ... maybe? It's an arcade racer, so for me its fun to just turn off my brain and drive a silly car that transforms into a 4wheeler that transforms into a speedboat and crash into stuff and beat opponents. It's silly and ridiculous and fun and I love it.

Quoting: TimeFreezeI had interest initially when it got announced. Then i saw that it requires a 3rd party: 2k account. And since then its on my ignore list.

I honestly don't even remember anything about the 2k account. I guess I signed into it when I initially launched it, but ever since, every time I launch the game it just boots right into it like any other game.

Out of these, I've only played the Lego racing game. It's a perfect little game for the Deck! Runs well, and is very arcadey and fun which is great for short sessions. Definitely recommend.

2025 will be my time to build a new pc, so I suppose I'll be using a chip from this release cycle? Not sure. I'm more waiting on details on the radeon 8xxx gpus.
