Wait, did they officially announce VR? Over on Youtube, they only showed some pre-rendered trailer, no gameplay. --edit: Oh it says so in the expandable description section.

Fidelitious posted:Ahem, in Canada it would be designated CFB Shearwater. Apologies, I've had sex. colonelwest posted:One thing I’m particularly disappointed in is the terrible selection of 4K monitors right now. Almost all of them are overpriced while missing major features that are ubiquitous in TVs like HDR, full array backlighting and HDCP 2.2 support. Unless I was willing to drop $3000 on this monstrosity... 4k dot pitches are difficult to get right at the density required for a 2' viewing distance vs 10' on IPS, let alone OLED, and the displays are following the cards somewhat. That 2000 'half-step' was about getting thrutch on the card to drive the resolutions. I just bought a LG 27GL83A-B (27" Ultragear QHD IPS 1ms NVIDIA G-SYNC Compat) for $374 for the 1080 machine, and it's extremely nice. The stand is actually useful, which is a bigger deal than I thought possible and I've not spotted any tearing worth a drat during normal play. Colors are solid. Getting a comparable 4k would have been around a grand, and I'd probably need a bigger memory card. Just before the pandemic hit I did some research and picked up an LG 4k (75SM8670PUA) from the local Best Buy for around $1200. Funny story, I thought I was replacing a 65", but it was a 55". So, I've got the desktop and a couple of games that scale really well running in 4k, but the majority of stuff just doesn't have the UI scaling for 4k. Children of a Dead Earth handles it well, but more 'indie' games tend to present you with text scaled for the 2' viewing distance rather than the 10'. I think we've got a comfortable generation until 4k is mainstream; although I acknowledge that I'm a good year behind the cutting edge. NumptyScrub posted:Definitely do this, It's a major boost even over SATA SSD and worth the cost IMO +1. The couch machine got an SSD because they're a lot less noisey, and I shifted to NVME M.2 + SSDs on my gaming machine last year. No regrets. There are M.2 PCIe adaptors out there that can help with the single drive issue, as well. No 'crafting'? In an MMO in YOOL 2020 Anno Domini?

I just saw the Star Wares Squadron trailer. Sweet action! And thought, "This might be as close to being a pilot in the movie as Chris wanted to be when he made Wing Commander." The primary source of all the SC Hollywood SF dreams. Would this pull the rug out from under Star Citizen space dogfighting?

Even if a game has better dogfighting the cultists can just say "Well, SC is more than just a dogfighting game, it is basically a full virtual life!" because sexy bear has promised them everything that has been asked.

 It's still great to see another SW space-sim, but I would remain cautious. It's EA, and we haven't seen anything yet. I think we've seen about everything possible out of EA so far. At least when it comes to shady bullshit.

 Looks and smells like a cashgrab, and if you look at the franchise's recent track record, it would indicate that smart money is going with what it looks and smells like. Wait for reviews, people. Wait for a lot of reviews.

It's game engine footage, which puts it on a par with anything that SC have produced, but I got into Battlefront II once the bruhaha settled down and found the graphics were easily on a part with the upfront marketing. However, it's an EA game, so *don't pre-order it*. EA will launch some bullshit engagement stickiness at the same time and PR their way out of it. BTW, I recommend BF II for some uncomplicated shootmans; 32 a side in galactic assualt. hhhat posted:i can sit in my office chair and put on a VR headset and pretend to be in an X wing Didn't expect an X-wing to smell quite this farty.

Yeah I'm really giving 5v5 the side eye and I know it somehow will be frustratingly bad but my first PC was bought with just enough power to play X wing and I did every one ever since. Alliance was super fine.

Battlefront was great and terrible. It may be the prettiest game I've ever played. The environments were breathtaking. The biggest problem was it was just a bit too realistic. Sure, in a real trench fight with both sides featuring heavy artillery and snipers, if you poke your head out, you gonna die. But this is a video game so chill the gently caress out captain realism Theyre probably gonna do the same with this game but here's hoping someone called the guy who made the lego games and asked them for some pointers I'll even play a loving escort mission just gimme (not preordering, why the gently caress would anyone do that)

It's from EA and it's multiplayer and it has to work with console controllers. I'm going to bet it's an expansion/re-appropriation of the dogfighting from Battlefront, which was fine and cinematic but extremely shallow and not really worth writing home about. I don't know how you'd make it work in VR without being extremely nauseating though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbMwjqoWbRY

The Star Wars arcade game that came out in 1983, the sit-down version. For $40 (I already have the VR stuff), if it can give me a hint of what it felt like to play this game back then - it's a steal. Star Citizen can stuff it.

But this is a video game so chill the gently caress out captain realism The map you're talking about actually spawns the Empire before the trenchline, so you have to use the walker's feet for cover before hitting the trenches. Then you have to push the tunnels between that and the second set of trenches before breaching the arty line and then running into the hanger; which due to HDR is a black hole filled with laser death. It's one of those that rewards a coherent approach to assualts, but it takes a while for everyone to get on the same page organically. Personally I'm just a sucker for Hoth. 40 years and counting. Sarsapariller posted:I'm going to bet it's an expansion/re-appropriation of the dogfighting from Battlefront, which was fine and cinematic but extremely shallow and not really worth writing home about. Chances are they've taken the assets and expanded it into a wider game. From the beats in the bullshot, it looks like power management makes a comeback. Make it Ace Combat alike and I think they've got a win. Throw in the usual Star Wars dolly dress-up and you've got a money printer.

it was pretty fun and was based off the OG BF and not the improvements with BF2. I mean its not revolutionary and you can't space farm and land on planets and sit in dark corners with lust on your mind or anything the 5v5 thing will depend completely on the map design and objectives but who knows motive has some pretty top talent working for them at the moment. we'll see how they translate an arena space shooter
