Quoting: shadow1w2No surprise that RPGs fit well on the deck.
Being able to sleep the machine and resume quickly is a big help for lengthy games plus playing them on the go.

Least for myself I rarely have the solid uninteruppted free time but plenty of smaller moments which is great for an arcade game run but lengthy stuff if I can't pause and resume I rarely finish even half.

Hope to see some competition in this space for the top Deck rpg.

Totally agree on the sleep and resume function for longer rpgs. I just can't fathom how people can play incredibly complex CRPGS like BG3 with cluttered interfaces on such a tiny screen with a controller. I spent a lot of time in bg3 in the "open all inventories" screen with every characters inventory open, and swapping items around. How would that even be possible on a handheld? There's so many other questions like that.

This seems like a great game for the Deck, I might give it a go.

I think it looks great.

And I'm super excited to test it out on live usb when it's available. Always love trying out new DE!

I also love the System76 hardware, but unfortunately about 80% of what they sell is all intel/nvidia which I'm not interested in. They only have a single laptop and desktop (non threadripper) model that's AMD based. And the desktop model is the smallest one. I just generally prefer larger cases to get more open space for better airflow so the fans turn on less and when they do, it's low rpms. I once did a SFF build and HATED the end result because it sounded like an airplane engine.

My friend and I had an absolute blast in Dome Keeper, so I will gladly follow anything this dev does. This seems wonderful!

Whoa, this is a blast from the past! I think I've had this on my wishlist for ... actually I can't even remember, 4 years? More? I used to have this high on my anticipation radar, since the demo was great and the entire setting was just fantastic, but I guess it somehow got stuck in dev hell if it's still EA after all this time.

I will still keep it on my wishlist, and I hope they can get closer to a release.

Dev team just made a cool 1.3m ... that's awesome!!! We soooo need more successful dev teams that take Linux seriously, just like @frawo said.

Maybe hopefully this cash infusion will speed up the release? Two more years and I'll have completely forgotten it exists!

from those screenshots and description, if you were to tell me this was just an overhaul of the original deus ex, I would totally believe you.

WHICH I LOVE.

So yeah, this is high on my wishlist.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeHonestly I will play the old games until the day I die, especially when the community never stops making amazing new content.

ha! I could not agree more. Especially since ... once a year my good friend and I pick a community megawad or conversion or whatever for d1 or d2 and just run through the entire thing as fast as we can (which is usually like a couple months lol). We loved Sigil and can't wait to play Sigil 2 or whatever Romero is calling it.

Also ... ever since I played Warhammer Boltgun, I've had this recurring thought exactly like you: What if modern id made a game like this in gzd. They could do something like this in between the huge gigantic AAA releases and just .......... GO BONKERS. Do whatever crazy fun stuff they wanted.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeSo those of you worried this will be like Eternal, it won't be.. and it won't be like 2016 either

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/doom-the-dark-ages-is-introducing-big-changes-to-combat-because-id-software-came-to-one-core-realization-every-projectile-mattered-in-the-original-doom/ [External Link]

They're essentially trying to make it closer to the original doom games

It sounds very promising

Thank you for the link! This specifically ...

"But for long-time fans of the series, people who played the original Doom, you'll see it's really a return to form."

... IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!! Oh man, my excitement just shot up for this. Bring. It. On.
