I heard Lumberyard had you stuck with Amazon cloud stuff. Does this engine still have that? Can a game be completely off-line? Also, can a game using this drop the Amazon crap and utilize Steam cloud?

Having been burned for buying games on day one (Rage, Batman:AC, IL-2 Cliffs of Dover), or in early access (Megasphere and others), so I promised myself to not do that anymore.

But as any shameless promise-breaker, I confess to had broken that promise a couple times, when I had a good feeling the devs can deliver the goods. So I will make a exception for this game too.

Your enemy IA better kick my ass in the game, like in F.E.A.R, or you guys will never hear the end of it

Since Sweeney is my sworn enemy, you can guess my deep insatisfaction to discover they had bought the Brazilian developer of Horizon Chase Turbo, Aquiris. A little earlier, they both dropped any plans for Linux and a Steam Launch of Horizon 2. Then, to put salt in the injury, they canceled the online leaderboards of the first game, citing some ridiculous "cost to maintain it", like a indie dev have any problem with that on Steam.

And now, Sweney is firing people left and right. To the ex-CEO of Aquiris, good job selling your company to Epic.

Nice. Loved the first game. Finished it about 3 times. It scratched my itch for a new puzzle game after Portal 2.

But without Linux native support, I would only take it on a Steam sale when it will be heavily discounted, a couple years from launch.

Wow, talk about putting their wallet were their mouth is. Just bought Terraria to show my support for this kind of attitude.

Quoting: Linux_RocksThat cinematic trailer was good. Maybe I'm bias cause I like Idris Elba, but I got sucked right in.

He's such a good actor and seems like a cool guy. I wish he'd reconsider being James Bond. He's literally perfect for the role. I can totally picture him in an homage scene to Dr. No, playing baccarat with a cigarette in his mouth saying "Bond, James Bond."

Agreed. He has the charisma and womanizer qualities you expect from a good Bond actor. But, that should had happened about 10 years ago. He is 51 now, so only would had time for 1, maybe 2 films before being too old, IMHO.

Sure, you had a couple guys like Tom Cruise stretching the age limit for a action actor, but I personally find it very unconvincing and distracting, after all, being in my forties, I know age let you at a huge physical disadvantage against younger guys. No amount of makeup or special effects will make me forget that.

I bought Truxton off the Volume 1 collection, and I can vouch for the quality of the emulation. Way more convenient than efforts from Capcom and Sega.

And yet, Baldur's Gate 3 is topping charts without any DRM protection. How dare they launch a game in 2023 without DRM. Also, the game have too much content. They should had left some out to sell during the season pass.

And BTW, if you are intimidated by those old school shooters, Bitwave included nice assistance in the emulator, like slow-motion and rewind, all accessible in the top buttons and triggers of the joypad. This makes the game more enjoyable to old farts like me, that do not have cat-like reflexes anymore.

I bought Truxton and I was impressed. While not perfect, it was a solid port/emulation. Their CRT filter is excellent. They even fixed a couple bugs after release faster than many big names out there. I liked it better than Capcom or Sega releases of old classics. No buggy 3D launchers, just strait to the point, go play this thing.

I will look if one of these fits on my taste and buy it. I imagine by now their emulator must be very mature.
