Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars getting remastered, plus a whole new adventure

Quoting: whizseI wish they went back and gave 3 & 4 some love instead. Keep the gist of the story but remake everything else. Make them proper point & clickers with detailed 2D graphics.
Yea these two feel out of place. Like Desperados 2 and Helldorado where the 3d engine wasn't good enough so the style became a lot worse to look at.

The parcival stone part has nice backgrounds but the 3d models feel a bit akward at the moment.
Hopefully we will three all 6 parts with the same attention to detail and a common style close to the original series.

Going for the first part of the series is a good idea though. Large screens will benefit from higher resolution and a better menu and controls would certainly help. The directors cut on a modern computer feels a bit weird imho.

As they work with AI, it shouldn't slow them down too much touching that game as well

It was an iconic place so returning there would be kind of a fan service don't you think?

“This is the start of what we’re calling the ‘Broken Sword Renaissance’
That could very well mean that they will do the other parts later if the announced games sell well.:whistle:

Nice to see them return, but the current visual style feels a bit wrong to me.

NVK the open source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA merged into Mesa

I personally wait for the day where DirectX is directly integrated as mesa-backend engine by Microsoft and no translation to OpenGL and Vulkan is needed anymore.:whistle:

What exactly does Ubi expect and what does wine do instead?

Quoting: fenglengshunNot surprising that the Nix packagers are holding off for the hotfix. Wonder if there'll be a second hotfix after this.
Probably,EOS Overlay install got broken :whistle:

Quoting: TangoBakerThis seems like a good place to ask. Has anyone had any luck getting Crimson Skies or Interstate '76 to run through Heroic? I've been trying for a while and I haven't had any success.
There is a support channel on the Heroic Discord Server, where you should upload some logfiles so people can try to help :)

Quoting: TheRiddickNow if only MS would have a XBOX Live Games Live whatever they call it in API form so they can be played like this also.
