I used to love Forza 4 on the Xbox 360. What's the best substitute that works well on Steam Deck? The Horizon games are completely different and I honestly hate them.

There is no substitute for Forza 4. It was the best there ever was and ever will be.

I cant speak to specifically what makes Forza 4 special for you, but theres a lot of great sim-y racing games that work well on Steam. Any of the GRID games, the Dirt series, Project Cars. If you want something technical and tricky to master, I know folks like the Dirt Rally games. Though of course car licensing being a bitch means some of those titles wont be purchasable. Edit: this reminds me that Gran Turmiso 3 was a real special one for me, I love that games handling. I should get that working in pcsx2 if I can.

It's not a substitute to Forza 4, but New Star GP is a really good semi-sim/casual racing sim that suits the deck perfectly in my opinion. You can currently play from the 80's to 2000's in the campaign. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217580/New_Star_GP/

C'mon, Microsoft...), but holy poo poo, this is like Virtua Racing: Definitive Edition, and I loved Virtua Racing. Thanks for posting this, wish listed and followed.

Huge virtua racing vibes, which I have clocked approximately 2000 hours in on the 32x version.

I mostly enjoyed how well balanced it was with the car rating/upgrading system, and how diverse the story mode was. It was a great balance between still fun to play, but not ridiculous arcade driving physics as well.

I don't know, bafflement (I was throughly baffled) by the total lack of 32x content in the SEGA AGES Virtua Racing release? It makes no sense.

Yes, absolutely! The 32x remains the definitive-ish version in my mind because of the content it has that the other releases just dont for whatever reason Dont get me wrong, the switch version is great, but how hard would it have been to add in the extra cars and stuff?

GT4 has a legit claim to being one of if not the greatest racing games ever made and I still play it pretty regularly. Also one of the best looking PS2 games even without any emulator fuckery.

It was literally the first emulator game I put on my Deck when I got it and it ran well then, I'd hope by now it's perfect since GT games are reliably the things that bring Playstation emulators to their knees.

I think that means Polyphony Digital are some kind of wizards. e:trip report: GT4 runs at a steady 60 FPS with very,very slight drops to 59 or 58 FPS on my LCD Deck and about 4 hours of playtime. There are no graphical glitches I can see so far. The Deck's controls feel better than my old PS2.

Oh dang, gt4 was great. We did a legit 24h of nurburgring in college. No pauses, just trading off the controller when people slept or went to class.

I put gt4 on but forgot how much I hate those license tests. Also the controls will need some setting up but I never remember how to do it in the emulator vs steam input.

CBD Corndog posted:Yeah, the HLTB plug-in is broken for me too. There's a pull request for HLTB waiting for approval that updates it for the latest SteamOS. If it's not being maintained by the original author any more then I guess it'll need to be forked into a new project. I've been on a quest to get non-Steam games streaming acceptably from my PC to my Deck and I think I've finally figured out a way of doing it, with the minor downside of it being ludicrously convoluted. My preference is to have games show up in my Steam Deck library instead of launching Moonlight and connecting to my PC and launching the relevant program and then being called away because the dog's been sick or something before I can actually play the game. I want to automate all that away so that I push "play" and the game starts. My previous way of doing this was to add the non-Steam games to my PC's Steam library using something like Steam ROM Manager and then they'd automatically show up for streaming to my Deck using Remote Play. Unfortunately Remote Play is really finicky when dealing with non-Steam games (especially Epic) and Valve seem to be on a mission to break it, so I've gone back to Moonlight and used MoonDeck's "Sunshine Apps" option to pull every app I've added to Sunshine into the Deck's library. The only issue with that is that setting apps up in Sunshine is a bit of a chore and I absolutely was not going to do that for every non-Steam game I had installed. Fortunately there's an extension for launcher-for-your-launchers program Playnite that exports games you select directly into Sunshine. I already had Playnite installed and configured, so I installed the Sunshine App Export extension, ran it, synced Sunshine apps in MoonDeck, set up artwork for all the new titles it had dropped into my library, tested a couple and then did not play anything as I'd spent all the time I'd planned to use gaming on tinkering. But next time it'll work perfectly!

As usual, its because God of War 1 and 2 have a lot more FMV. In MPEG-2 quality per the PS2, so files get large. I think those two games are two of the very few games on PS2 to ship on DVD9. tango alpha delta posted:e:trip report: GT4 runs at a steady 60 FPS with very,very slight drops to 59 or 58 FPS on my LCD Deck and about 4 hours of playtime.

Been playing Xbox cloud gaming through a webpage like the Microsoft support page walkthrough showed and other than being wonky when the deck sleeps, it just works. Even when my kid is on the Xbox swea[rt]ing away at fortnight on the physical box in the living room. Been catching up on my indies. Cocoon was phenomenal. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank was silly fun, and Chicory is frustrating in a good way (so far)

How does that handle game that never published on PC? In particular I'm eyeballing Halo 5, which I never played because it wasn't on the 360 and wasn't on PC. I'm pretty sure you can still buy it digitally via the xbox store, though.

You can on PS+ and MS said they eventually want that to be a thing. That being said halo is playable on the cloud. The cloud servers are just Xboxes so anything that runs on the Xbox will run in the cloud. The DF video I posted a few pages ago has a breakdown on how things run on the service and its not the greatest and that echos what Ive seen.

Riftbreaker is a really cool basebuilder/arpg mashup where you take the role of the mech suit from avatar. It runs super well on deck and only thing I could wish for is some UI scaling. But it still has a yellow checkmark. I think the three tier system is too severe for deck. Having to use a keyboard or slightly smaller Uai than preferred shouldn't instantly knock it down to yellow. Maybe it should be a green mark with ! Instead of ✓ for games that are perfectly playable

Xbox emulation is a lot less advanced than PS2 emulation, due to a lot of false starts. Definitely don't assume that if it worked on PS2 emu it'll work on Xbox emu, but it's certainly possible.

It sucks rear end. I guess the silver lining is that it didnt give Nintendo a chance to set any legal precedent against emulation as a whole. What made Yuzu different from Ryujinx? Edit: fixed a weird autocorrect.
