Quoting: ElectricPrismAfter having played for hours on the LCD and OLED versions, the LCD does have a certain "charm" [*everything on the LCD is more blue saturated, OLED the oranges and blacks pop]

have you tried to adjust color temperature?

Quoting: NodInspired by TempleOS I wonder?

i think its a good idea to make an game like this might help linux, imagine an compiz simulator, people might want to have an UI like this in real life, then when they realize its possible they will be enticed, and since linux nowadays can run most of their games...

Quoting: slaapliedjeIt's kind of amusing to me that CRTs started off as 50/60hz, then higher end monitors started getting really high refresh rates (like the one I have that'll do 1600x1200 at 85hz). Then when we started with LCDs, we were back to having crappy refresh rates, with the added disadvantage of any non-native resolution looking like trash... Many years later, they're finally getting better.

You're forgetting or ignoring the fact that we mostly wanted higher refresh rates for CRTs to reduce the eye destroying flicker, not to make games run smoother or whatever. Whereas an LCD doesn't really have a flicker problem, even with the old fluorescent backlights.

CRTs didn't either, except when you'd try to do foolish things like interlace. Well, or if you were someone not in the 60hz locations... While there are benefits of PAL, a higher refresh rate is not one of them, and there is definitely flicker to most people at 50hz vs 60hz.

There are definitely benefits and disadvantages to each tech. Older stuff though, was designed for a CRT, so on occasion can look like utter trash on an flat screen. Especially when you're looking at 8-16bit stuff.

speaking of it do you (or anyone) know if old games work fine on OLED ? i know they look like crap on CRT, but oled work different so it might look less crapy? i wonder if its harder to make shaders/filters to simulate an CRT on an OLED screen than on an LCD one.

Quoting: shadow1w2I think it woulda been fair if they just waited till next year and announced it now so we could all plan for it and have a chance to resell our current ones before a price drop.

no way in hell they would do that, christimas is THE moment to sell something, like 50% of the sales of the entire year happens on christmass.

missing the opportunity to sell this right before christimas would make then lose a lot of money and give opportunity to the competition to react.
even worse is announcing something now to relase next year, that would mean losing their biggest oportunity to sell the current models.

i understand the frustration, but i dont expect an company to do something stupid like this, especially if this company is investing a lot into linux gaming.

we know that we are in the right path, not when we get the software support but the midleware!
now techinically speaking this is a software, but if we count the games as the main attraction, this is a midleware.

if we look at blender, nowadays, its not just a powerfull software but an software with an imense ecosystem of thirdy party plugins and other kind of resources build arround it, its an ecosystem, that is why its an real menance to autodesk, blender can compete with autodesk in terms of features one of the main issues was the ecosystem arround autodesk products, but this ecosystem isnt loyal to a single software provider, if an product gain enough mindshare to have support from the thirdies, it can win.
linux dont have official support from game companies yet but it still can run the games anyway, engines and softwares like anti cheat are begining to support it, and if things continue like this by the time microsoft realize linux has a chance it will be to late to reverse the trend.
