Older consoles didn’t run nearly as close to the maximum temperature the silicon can endure. Also, their cooling was simpler, and normal thermal paste also has a shelf life (which is the reason why basically all consoles from the 360/PS3 era onwards need to be disassembled and get new thermal paste to make them really…

That was more a thing of Kia outright buying the molds and Blueprints for the Elan and continuing to manufacture it after Lotus had ceased to do so. Iirc they also added some safety equipment.

It is the guns. I rarely play anymore these days, and any time I come back there is too much new stuff for me to absorb, and I had to realize a long time ago that I simply do not have the time to “git gud” at this.
But the gunplay... it is just amazing. It feels right. It felt good with D1 on Xbox. It feels perfect…

This! Wanted to chime in ealier, but Syrinscape is really, really great. Iirc, in the early days, they had one-time sales where you could get a whole lot of back catalogue for a one-time price. And the mood some of these soundsets convey is just glorious.
Also, try to get hold of an old PC game CD: Thunderscape, World…

you can’t say for sure, because the triggers when Denuvo checks for what are individually determined for each game to throw off hackers.
We will be able to tell for sure when a cracked version is out and suddenly runs great.

Mercedes said for their automatic transmissions in the 90s: Lifetime filling. Except when used as a Taxi, then change the fluids every 60.000km.

Had a lowered Volvo 850 T5, FWD. I could drive through muddy fields after a festival where SUVs and a Jeep Cherokee got stuck.
Similar stuff in winter, as long as the snow didnt go over the bumper, that thing just went on without a problem. Easy to maneuver, as long as you kept sane on the pedal.

Two best things when…

Want a better example? Forza Horizon, the last two installments. The credits went on for ages... and I was positively in shock at how many people contributed to the game. They even listed all the people of all the subcontractors, they had a small company that made the foliage for parts of the world, and it seemed like…

Daewoo entered the german market by selling their first generation Daewoo Nexia (basically a refreshed Opel Kadett E which the Germans were well accustomed to) at a utility store chain for cheap. It was a loophole, the cars were meant for other markets, but sat on a lot for over a year, and then sold for really,…

December 2003 - but only with HL1 and all the other games that were automatically unlocked with it back then like CS and Team Fortress. Didn’t get HL2 back then, but wanted to continue playing online since it was obvious that WON servers wouldn’t be around forever.

Now I am curious :) What are you talking about, regarding ship movement?
They iterated on it and improved it leaps and bounds in my book - heavy ships “feel” heavy, different ships for different purposes move as you would expect (i.e. cargo ships have abysmal turn circles, smaller fighters are as nimble as you’d…

Well, on my rig atleast (Vega64, old Xeon E1650V3, 32GB Ram, Sata-SSD) I got 50-60fps in Full-HD on medium details in most places, definitely in space as long as no capitals are around going full Macross. Motion blur and film grain off, because I can’t stand them. On high details, the fps stayed well above 30, only in…

So, the “good” ending is actually a classic “good” ending in this game, like in old Hollywood movies, and you hate it for that, do I get this right?

So you would rather have seen Star Wars Episode IV where Luke returns after blowing up the death star and he is scolded during the victory ceremony for how many thousands…

Btw, best reason to play SC:
You can buy plushies for ingame money to decorate your spaceship with!

Probably not on Steam or any other storefront apart from CIGs own, but we all hope that at some point, paying the minimum entry price will not only grant you a starter ship and some credits, but also access to the verse in a somewhat finished state.
Although I could foresee that they would set up Star Citizen as a…

Started with Reflections and Caligari on the Amiga (back when Tobias Richter started making his first Star Trek models in Reflections), moved onto PC with 3DS 3.0 (still DOS), later 4.0 and Max, Truespace, Bryce 2.0 and later for landscapes etc.
Used these tools to create custom shapes to use in Unreal and UT levels, la…

I quite liked “Lord of War” too, was a nice movie (Chris Roberts produced that, among others, too).

Why can’t it be the best if it is in Alpha?

Quake test, the multiplayer-only test version of Quake 1 with 6 Deathmatch levels, was voted “best game of all time” by a british gaming magazine.
They said: “Yes, it is only a test, and yes, the final game might be different, screw it all up and disappoint us. But then we…

one should add that they changed a lot during the latest patch, so the flight model changes did loads for combat, and the AI uses missiles much more liberately.
That being said, I had many occasions of NPCs on foot actively seeking me out, the ones where they were just standing waiting to be shot mostly ended in a…

I was really thinking if CIG would be better off concentrating on relatively few systems, but fleshing them out. Like Privateer 1/2 size.
