I played it yesterday and sincerely, it felt more like a Call of Duty in zombie mode than a true and worthy successor to the L4D series. The control scheme is bad, the game is way heavier than it should (another Unreal Engine victim. Small teams should not be allowed to use it...) and the whole game feels soulless, like, despise the name of the studio, none of the original team members touched this new game.

They already had a bad reception on the Steam reviews. They better introduce drastic measures to contain the damage AND review their price policy, otherwise this one will be a financial flop.

Quoting: kit89A co-op game with anti-cheat, is it planning to be a persistent loot-drop game, or highly competitive?

Even on coop cheaters can ruin the experience. The minimum they can do is make impossible kills and pose as the grand master. The worst is just be there to annoy others and avoid retaliation. I have encountered cheaters in L4D2 that jumped in a session just to team kill others and quit. And the bastard was using some really advanced scripts, because he could even copy your nickname and cause confusion before finishing his "work".

Mind you that Valve do have a anti-cheat system, but it worth nothing, as countless CS fans know.

Normally I avoid platformers made with keyboard/mouse in mind (use a gamepad you savages), but I will make a exception for this one, since this is exactly the experimental type of game I look for in indies. Plus it is from a fellow linuxer.

The first video is hilarious. Enabling shenanigans like this is part of the reason people like Valve so much.

I was waiting to come home from work and try it, but a electrical problem may prevent doing it today. So I got curious and went to look at the reviews of the open beta. And there is a lot of people disappointed with the game.

To make a long story short, you better not install this thinking it is L4D3. There is no shortage of people saying its gameplay is inferior to the Valve games.

Months ago I saw a interview with a AMD engineer, where he talked about what would be FSR. He said that developers asked AMD to not create another proprietary solution, instead they should make something open, like Freesynk. That is why AMD response to DLSS took so long to appear.

Now that it is on the wild and exactly what developers asked, you can bet it will eclipse DLSS adoption in a couple years.

Quoting: GBee

Quoting: MorguldirKinda "old" news, they confirmed it here: https://twitter.com/feralgames/status/1420319814648795137. I'm guessing they already had a contract for porting Total War: WARHAMMER III, since they do seem to have given up on further linux ports.

Not just Linux, they don't seem to have anything else on their 'radar' for OSX, iOS or Android either. This is in sharp contrast to past years when they would have several games being worked on simultaneously.

I heard they do Nintendo Switch ports now.

Skateboard injuries hum? The most fun way to discover that physics is a harsh mistress. One small rock and suddenly the skate is not under you anymore...

Ah the youth, when you could fall all the time and stand up right away. These days I even hurt my back just lifting a aluminium ladder...

I hope this is handled better than Black Mesa. That Linux port have unfixed performance issues and if I knew the treatment Linux users would get, I would have got a refund the moment I saw the unchecked multithread option in the menu.

SoR4 has performance problems with Vulkan, and Steam UI corruption on OpenGL, in the most recent AMD mesa drivers. I have to run it with mesa 20.2 (the stock from Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS) for a bug-free experience.
