Proton Experimental begins work to allow Resident Evil Village to run on Linux
9 May 2021 at 3:11 pm UTC

Quoting: slavezeoI'll buy it on steam in a few months when there is a GOTY edition with what ever DLC comes out.
Is any DLC even planned? The latest two RE games had none, and RE7 had a season pass available while RE8 hasn't.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI had to edit the .ini to change the graphics settings and could not figure out how to change the resolution.
It's FullScreenDisplayMode. I've copied some parameters from the config file of my installed RE7.
Quoting: vipor29just completed the game
The whole game or just the demo?

The characters' faces look like Hide the Pain Harold.

Humble Bundle replacing purchase sliders with less generous options

I bought a couple of $1 bundles recently and wondered where did the slider go... I used to give more percentage to GoL. What share will Humble Partners get now? Nothing?

Battletoads (2020). What a shitty game. Bad design, bad gameplay, bad controls, bad humour. I didn't expect it to be good but I thought it would be at least mediocre. But no, I cannot even find a single good thing about it. It also has problems with video scenes unless it runs on Proton-GE.

Quoting: EhvisOne big question, have they finally learned to do key rebinding?
I find its control scheme comfortable enough. You can use both WASD and arrows to walk, any Shift key to run, any of E, Space, Enter as "action", Q or Esc as "back/cancel". Num keys to use items from the inventory. Other keys are binded intuitively too (M - map, I - inventory, etc.) I had problems with playing The Coma 1, but not in The Coma 2 or this one. Too bad these games don't have controller support though (at least for my Logitech). I agree that every game should have rebindable controls but sometimes this is not vital.

I'm trying various games on Switch emulators. They ran badly last time I tried them, but now lots of games are playable on my computer. yuzu seems to run better, probably due to the Vulkan support, but has worse compatibility, no resolution upscaling, is harder to manage updates and DLC for games, so I prefer Ryujinx. I'm mostly playing Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and also have beaten few levels in Ghosts 'n Goblins: Resurrection. Ryujinx is about to get a Vulkan renderer next month, I'm going to play Super Mario Odissey and TLoZ: BotW after that, they don't perform well enough now.

SM3DW is a very fun game with interesting and unique levels and nice colourful graphics. The only issue I can't get used to is movement inertia. Characters don't move instantly when I press direction buttons. The game is easy, and even gives you an invincibility item when you die several times.

There is a problem with Nintendo's button layout that differs from familiar ABXY on XInput controllers. Games rarely have an ability to change controls, and sometimes don't even show letters on buttons. Instead, they show a picture with all four buttons but one of them is highlighted. Very confusing.

I've also bought Dragon Quest XI on the current Steam sale and continued my progress from the demo where I spent 11 hours few months ago. But I already forgot everything about the game, so I'm lost and don't know how to play and what to do. In most cases I start a new game, but losing 11 hours...

There's no monkeying around in the new roller game Rolled Out!

A bit of off-topic news: PCSX2 has just got .chd file format support. I'm converting 90 GB of my PS2 images right now...

FunKey S is a tiny Linux-powered retro-gaming handheld

Those Anbernic devices look great. I see there's a model with WiFi, does it have a web browser? Is there a bluetooth connection for wireless earphones? What about installing/launching/updating applications?

It's strange that RG351M is better that RG350M in everything except for its screen. If they release a version with 640×480, I might buy it.
