zoux posted:Mirage, which is actually I think the next one to release, has been touted as getting back to the classic style, though I don't think there's any gameplay out there. I like both the old- and new-school AC games, so ideally they'll put out stealthy classic ones and sprawling rpg-lite ones. GreatGreen posted:I'll believe the AssCreed news when I see it.

haldolium posted:thats something completely different as your initial post though. I think the camera rig in Greedfall is comparably complex and has both vertical and horizontal adaptive movement dependend on character move direction. This is not a bad thing imo, its just not as well executed. Quite a few other third person games did this and I personally like it if the adaption is done well. The thing I'm pointing out in that post is exactly what I was also talking about in my first post about the subject. However to be fair I will add that a camera's rotational axis doesn't have to be in the direct center mass of the theoretical camera itself, it just has to be anywhere other than where the player's view is supposed to be centered. No matter how egregiously it is done, if it happens at all, it will cause nausea. It might not be literally as bad as the Blair Witch Project's camera, but it's still a huge problem and does fall under the same issue. Thanks for the mod link though! I didn't know that existed. I might have to check out the game now.

I posted about it Friday, but the playtest this weekend for Moonbreaker just ended and I miss playing it already haha. It has a few problems that could fairly easily be changed/addressed, and the devs seem open to discussion on Discord. So I'm curious to see how my 1 issue with the Bridge system is iterated upon. They're doing another playtest this coming weekend and then early access at the end of the month. Really enjoyed the Painting tool/feature of it too, impressively powerful while being very easy to use.

I wonder if there was some issue with the witcher 3’s camera too. that’s the only game that has ever made me feel anything like motion sickness, but I don’t know why.

I'm kind of confused what this "correct" form of camera rotation looks like, where the axis of rotation is at the player's focus point. Seems like that would make the camera's behavior change jarringly when the player moves their focus from distant objects to near ones?

Part of what's wrong in that Greedfall video is that I'm pretty sure the person is using a controller.

Veotax posted:Pretty much. It's possible to just more or less kill the process and launch a different one on a different engine, I've seen games do it before. EA liked doing that for a while, Nightfire and..Everything Or Nothing, I think used different engines for the driving sections (and in the case of Nightfire, a different developer all together)

One of the Battlefield games (4 i think?) had separate executable for single and multiplayer. Also had their MP server browser be in your literal browser and you had to log into a website with your Origin account. It would launch your game from there into MP.

Battlelog was amazing and I loved browsing servers and messing with load outs in the web browser instead of the usual slow-rear end, lovely ingame menu. They never really bothered supporting it properly so it was always unreliable, though.

Battlelog was legit 20 years ahead of its time and I hope they bring it back. Assuming 2042 doesn't kill the franchise.

Tiny Timbs posted:This was a weird complaint I kept seeing that never made any sense. If anything the loading was faster since it didn’t have to get into the main menu first. This could happen if you didn't have a top of the line computer, and maybe only meet the minimum specs to run the game. Memory management was the cause. If you didn't have enough ram or vram free to run the game, some stuff on memory would need to be stashed to load on the game stuff. And then the stashed stuff would be put back when the game closed. With the game starting and stopping, the OS would have to allocate and deallocate memory to run the game. If there were other things in memory already, those would have to be staged on game launch, and then restored on game close. With BattleLog basically launching the game each time you loaded into a server (switching servers would close and then reopen the game and connect to the new server) your computer would be thrashing trying to store and restore memory. So it's more an issue of limited resources and OS house keeping that caused a lot of the issues people had. Not just the speed at which an executable could start.

It was the first Medal of Honor remake that had different single player and multiplayer exe’s on PC because they were on different engines. DICE made the multiplayer in the BF engine and another developer made the single player in Unreal. Battlelog on the other hand was mostly good as soon as I realized I didn’t have to close the game to join another server.

I'd love to see how these modern failed or mostly failed live service games came out from a budgetary standpoint. Especially when compared that to similar failed or sunset free to play games like Loadout or Hawken, etc.

speaking of FPS, I kinda fell out of the genre around when MW2 came out (uh the one back in 2008?). i've been jonesin for a good shooter game that lets me just....shoot I guess. Not worried about multiplayer and i'd probably perfer a single player experience as long as it wasn't too full of cutscenes. Any recommendations come to mind? Guess I would entertain multiplayer also if it didn't involve hours of grinding to get any good. I strongly dislike modern military but i'm cool with futuristic or WW1/2/Vietnam/whatever

Start with the former though because they changed things up a bit in the sequel and it felt busier but not always in a good way.

In case you haven't played it yet, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is imho one of the best single player FPS ever. It's short, it's fast, it oozes atmosphere, and the narration is brilliantly used. Plus it's cheap, and even more so during sales.
