I vaguely remember gathering of developers.

Didn’t they try to do some publishing thing where devs could self publish in conjunction with them?

benjipwns · « **Reply #22023 on:** July 09, 2019, 09:01:33 PM »

Yeah, they were also famous for their raunchy E3 parking lot parties.

Even though it was an anti-publisher concept it wound up being one of the founding backbones of modern Take Two's 2K Games publishing label.

it's kinda cool how many of the current companies in the Dallas/Austin axis can be traced back to people from Origin and Tradewest, and then id

Deus Ex was a resounding success both critically and commercially—the only game developed by Ion Storm that managed both. “We had one incredibly bad review. A guy named Tom Chick just, I dunno if he hated me, but he sure hated Deus Ex, wow!” Spector says.

It’s kind of weird that all this anti-publisher stuff happened and yet the publishers are probably more ingrained than ever in the industry.

You’re either completely at the whim of publishers or you are literally like 2 dudes in a garage with relatively few exceptions.

wow didn't even realize there was a Dukes of Hazzard PS2/Xbox game, another UbiSoft classic

there's two on the PS1, in the first one you basically just try to outrun Rosco and Enos over and over again as audio clips from the show play and the game slows down to like 5fps every ten seconds

it sold so well they made an "open world" sequel in which you get to play as Daisy for like a third of the game, and the "open world" basically just lets you drive around while doing nothing else as all the races are locked off and are like the first game

makes sense that the PS2/Xbox seems to be a movie tie-in though, the PS1 ones have all the people from the TV show I think the sequel has new voice overs though, from a GIS the PS2 game does not look significantly better in the foreground than the PS1 games lol, mainly it's the edges of the draw distance that gives away which is which

random licensed garbage can be fun because a lot of it even gaming sites never played, and if you don't look it up, you'll have no idea if you're getting something halfway competent from a team trying to pay the bills inbetween their own games or if it comes from the depths of codeshop hell that spits out a licensed game every two months

I enjoyed the first PS1 game as a kid. It was basically budget bin Driver with lines from the show.

Edit: Man, looking at a longplay of this on youtube and seeing the CGI intro it got. It amazes me how much Suda51 nailed the PS1-style intro to one of the games in Travis Strikes Again.

Well, Blizzard is never making a Ghost-like game and EA took Mass Effect back behind the woodshed, so sure I'm interested in somebody doing a game like that with the serial numbers filed off.

Trailer look ok... but never heard of those devs. Looks like it’s made by some euro jank company.

After three years in development, Headup is proud to finally reveal Ede Tarsoly’s new masterpiece Everreach: Project Eden, a fast-paced, story-driven 3rd person action RPG set on the visually stunning Planet Eden. You won’t have to wait long as Everreach will release on PC and Xbox One this September, while the PlayStation®4 version will follow a bit later this year.

Ede decided to think big, and for the first time he turned his former one-man studio Elder Games into a team of five people, plus over a dozen of external freelancers. Together they created a massive 3rd person adventure packed with tactical ground combat, high-speed vehicular warfare and a compelling level and skill system.

I expect tons of jank.

The company website only lists 1 previous game, but the guys Moby Games profile lists 3 other games that he made with that company name.

Its probably expensive because it was a mid aughts atlus game which means they barely printed any copies. Idk who published it in EU.

“Heroes in Chinese Swordsman fictions are always righteous, powerful and honorable. That’s too far-fetched.” In Roguelike Hero, you create a character growing from shameless nobody.
Roguelike hero is a “silly” action game. Players play as a walk-on actor, struggling to get a good role. Each stage is a action movie set piece and players fight though various enemies with absurd and silly ways to complete the filming.

Developed by Carrya Tech and published by X.D. Network, Roguelike Hero is set to release on PC, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Been a bit on the fence with jumping on Black Desert for PS4 when it launches next month. Any of ya'll ever try the xbone version? My biggest dilemma is what classes will be available at launch. I can't seem to find anything official online yet, but I'm assuming it may launch in similar fashion as the boner version, which supposedly only had 6 classes... which are a bit meh since the classes are gender locked. I dabbled with the PC version for only a minute, but kb&m is not my thing.

nachobro · « **Reply #22073 on:** July 23, 2019, 10:11:29 AM »

Played the PC version a bit, game devolves into pay to win pretty quickly and many quality of life things are also paid. Dunno if that's changed for the console versions but it got tiresome before very long.

The 2080 super seems like the dud of the group. Faster than a 2080, but not too much faster.

The pricing difference is pretty crazy. Especially in Euro land.

The current line-up looks like this:

62% - 2070 (500 - 549)
75% - 2070 Super (529 - 599)
78% - 2080 (749 - 799)
up to 80% - 2070 Super OC models (599 - 649)
up to 84% - 2080 OC models (799 - 899)
86% - 2080 Super (799 - 899)
100% - 2080 Ti (1250 - 1500)

The 2070 Super pretty much runs everything well above 60 (sometimes 100) fps on 1440p.
Only the 2080 Ti can give you a consistent 60fps or higher at 4k on a single card and the 2080 Super is pretty much 'maxed out' as far as OC potential goes.
A 'cut down' 2080 Ti rebranded as the 2080 Super would've murdered everything in the < 999 bracket. But AMD literally has nothing to pit against Nvidia so they can hold onto that card if AMD comes up with anything faster than the 5700XT.
