Good Riddance.

Hopefully at least KT Racing can get the license again now.

Would be nice if one of the simulator developers, like Asseto Corsa devs or so would make the next Game though.

Will see..

NVIDIA disclose new security flaw in their Linux GPU drivers
25 Apr 2025 at 6:08 am UTC

Wonder why they disclosed this a bit late?
Already on the 575.51.02 drivers since their release, but only just now they disclosed the security problems.

But anyway, great to see they update their drivers to fix security issues and sharing the info.

That looks pretty interesting. Snowepiercer indeed. Also has Co-op which is nice for games like these.
Added to wishlist!

11 bit studios are remaking the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine 5 with Frostpunk 1886

Great. Another game to be run on the blurry unoptimized UE5 crap.
Tbh i just don't understand the "everything needs to be UE5" these days.
Welcome to upscalers, framegens and blurry mess.

Oblivion Remaster from the recent ones seems another UE5 slop again. Performs bad, looks pretty blurry and awful.
Compare that to something like KCD2 that looks a lot better and performs twice as good.

Ohh well...

Game of the Year contender for sure!

90 hours played so far. Its a blast

EA just open sourced Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Renegade and Generals

I want the old classics to be suitable not only for old people with a feeling of nostalgia but also make them interesting again for new generations and a few more additional details in the interface and textures and a few more polygons on the model will go a long way to make this feel "current" again.
Nobody said it has to be unreal engine, nobody says it won't be optimized.
New engine technology brings support for modern hardware and new tricks.
It's not always bad to upgrade , rather the opposite.
Just look at most other EA remakes/remasters or any other big publisher ones. You can draw conclusions from there.
They always just f up. Downgrade compared to original.
Sure...miracles could happen, but i have doubts.

edit: Nightdive Studios can put out great remasters though.

Is that a good sign, neutral sign, or bad sign for people that wanted a Generals Remake with improved graphics?
Naah no need for unoptimized UE5 remake.
Just the old game updated to work great with modern systems and fps caps removed. Thats all we need.
