Those are definitely some impressively low minimum requirements for a 2026 AAA game. Curious to see how it’ll actually perform on Steam Deck though.

Keep in mind though that US prices don’t include VAT, whereas in most countries they do. But you’re right that it’s not significantly more expensive in the US, it’s pretty similar to other regions.

A ton of PC games do this as well.

You probably had a faulty DVD burner then. I did it within the last year, using my modern computer and a cheap external drive.

Nothing’s stopping you from burning a CD right now. But ultimately, these kinds of nostalgic memories are less about the tech itself and more about remembering the happy times of youth. Bringing back the burned CD won’t bring those back I’m afraid.

Not sure if I want to play a “non-gay” racing game.

Eh, DLSS maybe, but they’ve been quite critical of UE5, especially its stutter issues. On the contrary, they’re always happy when something isn’t UE5.

That’s GBA/PS2 era, definitely retro.

It’s probably gonna turn all characters into AI Anime Waifus.

Can’t believe DF is so positive about this, just looks horrible. I’ve actually been quite positive about technologies like DLSS and FSR but this… no thanks.

For me, they’re just a nice to have. I don’t actively chase them or anything, but it’s sometimes neat to see when I did a thing that only 1% of players managed to do. I personally don’t care that they’re public. If I did, I imagine I’d have a private Steam profile anyway, so the achievements would be a moot point. I don’t see a meaningful difference between publishing my achievements and my other game activity like play times.

That’s 2 different companies (Nintendo vs The Pokemon Company). But also yeah, obviously they have much more to gain when it’s about $200B.

Do you recall where you saw that? I can’t find that statement. Would be cool if true though. Wasn’t possible for Index Controllers.

If they work like the Index controllers, no, they won’t connect without Steam VR running and the HMD connected. But maybe they’re different.

I don’t think you can do a whole lot with the Frame controllers without the Frame though.

Maybe so, but getting neither kind of terrible tattoo is always an option, isn’t it?

Imagine wearing some AI slop on your skin for the rest of your life…

Such a shame that they won’t give this a proper physical release.

Clockwise, to me, goes forward. The file explorer sorts from top to bottom by default. It makes perfect intuitive sense to me. You may say that volume and time go “up”, but it’s not like they’re literally moving in space in an upwards direction, are they? They increase.

Keep in mind that this is much more powerful hardware than what previous games were running on.
