Quoting: GuestLooks great! I wonder if cesspool Nintendo will sue them just like they did Great Giana Sisters creators? (rhetorical question)

I doubt it. While this is obviously very inspired by SMB 3, is not a blatantly rip-off like Giana Sisters was.

Epic was once a friendly company towards Linux. They even had UT2004 for Linux, but look at them now. First, started promising releases for Linux of newer titles that never came, the Phoronix guy kept sending e-mails asking for some news, they answered a couple, to ultimately ignoring him completely.

Now not only they have a poor support of Linux on their Unreal engine, but even on Windows they adopt scum, monopolistic tactics.

I choose to support those who support me. I choose not to be like a beaten wife of a abusive husband, begging for scraps.

Quoting: BumadarThe ... for lack of a better word ... diffrent resistance on the R2 and L2 of the ps5 controller is amazing, been ages something actually new came to controllers. Now waiting for games to start using it except the demo game 😀

Not clear that is supported yet here

I saw a disassembly of that mechanism. It didn't look strong at all. Hopefully it is reliable enough for people that didn't have a history of destroying gamepads, under normal use.

Generally you know when something is not using SDL, when there are problems with controls or resolution/full screen stuff.

I wonder if Rust led to some performance advantages or disadvantages, in comparison to C. I saw some people hell bent in making everything in Rust, regardless if it is the best tool for the job or not.

I hope the performance in this one is better than MEL, since that one performed poorer than Portal 2 from Valve.

Last week I gave a little speech* about not getting a game on release, but hot damn. The "want" is strong on this one.

Since it is from a developer that did a solid Linux port from a previous game and this is not a multi-millionaire AAA game, looks like will not be problematic taking it on the first week, I hope...

*I talked about loosing a 45hrs save in Batman AC on its launch, and now Cyberpunk 2077 is corrupting saves... Poor bastards.

I liked it. I firmly suggest people give the demo a try.

Quoting: M@GOidI was not so fond on the controls of their previous game, Absolute Drif. The cars lost control too easily, making it very frustrating to control on a gamepad.

I hope this one do better in this regard, like what you get in Sega Rally, for example.

It is made to play with a gamepad, but Sega Rally it's not. It's described as a "simcade" but it feels much further to the sim end of the spectrum.

Demo on itch [External Link] if you want to try it, don't think it's available on GOG/Steam?

I downloaded it from Itch and your description was spot on. It indeed have borderline simulator controls.

Unfortunately this is not my cup of tea. The simulator like controls and the camera angle made it a no-go for me. If I wanted a more simulator inclined game there is Dirt Rally (that I already own), with much better graphics and camera options. If this was a true arcade one with more camera options I would buy it.

Then might I suggest Bloody Rally Sim. Might be perhaps more for you.

Indeed! The camera modes are more flexible and the controls are more arcade like. This one I may buy.
