EVERSPACE 2 sure does look shiny in the new Alpha footage

Quoting: LeopardThey're both cloud gaming services.
Not really. Stadia is a cloud gaming service, Geforce Now is a VM renting service, where you can play the games you buy elsewhere. Totally different thing.

May be I mixed that up, but I remember something about them recommending Vulkan to address their shader mess with OpenGL that delayed Linux release.

Geforce Now is not a competitor to Stadia, it's not even comparable. Totally different business model.

Quoting: CatKillerI think it's worth remembering that the people selling Rocket League (Epic) said that the people who made Unreal Engine (Epic) had done such a terrible job at making a cross-platform game engine that they needed to give a full refund to all of their customers on two of the platforms they'd released on. That is quite a strong statement from them about their level of competence.
We need engines like Godot eventually push stuff like Unreal to the side. But that will take time.

Quoting: LeopardRelease time absolutely has nothing to do with engine version and Rockfish Games doesn't have that much resources work seperately on a VLK renderer or somehow adjusting the current offering.
They worked on it for first Everspace, and even recommend using it over OpenGL one.

Quoting: Guest....I just still don't see Epic giving a damn unless there's something really big (economically) in it for them.
Google paying them can be big (or just doing this work for Epic who should have done it all themselves). And Google only benefit from higher quality titles for Stadia.

Quoting: Avehicle7887Last I remember, Vulkan for native Linux UE4 games was in a horrible state, performs worse than OpenGL. The first Everspace performed admirably on Linux with OpenGL even on a low end machine.
I don't get why someone like Google can't help them fix that mess.

By the time they finish the game, there will be UE5 already.

Quoting: einherjarI won't buy" etc is annoying and leads us no where.
Removing the game from DRM-fee stores leads to nowhere.
Mixing old with new Prodeus is an intense FPS arriving this 'Fall'

That's way too pixelated to my taste (or may be the video just looks that way?). Something like Ion Maiden is a better approach.
