Feature: Delta Force Celebrates Its Second Anniversary with New Season Reorientation

Gameplay tweaks, new maps, modes and even more content are coming to Delta Force. Delta Force’s mission has always been to incorporate player feedback to create the best experience possible for its players. As Delta Force players prepare for the free-to-play first-person tactical shooter’s second anniversary, the developers at Team Jade have been hard at work, listening to two years of player feedback as the game has evolved since its initial PC launch, since coming to mobile and Xbox Series X|S.

So many games love to coddle the player - FromSoftware's willingness to kick our ass is refreshing

"Want to know wtf to do? Two bells. One high. One low. Figure it out." "Lore? Read the description on this random napkin item. Whatever." "That boss you died to 20 times and finally beat?

"Iterative" Really is Such a Reductive Term for Sequels That Minimizes the Work That Goes Into Them

We know this shit is hard. It's fine to not like a sequel, I don't like plenty, but why do we frame iterative sequels like most the base work was already done and all the devs have to do is just recolor and reshape assets or sprinkle in trees if they're adding more stuff to previously used locations. Hades II still took 4-5 years to make and that was the development that wasn't interrupted by COVID. Engines change, processes change, you're bringing on new people. Shoutout to the GOAT...

In Retrospect What Do You Think About GTA V's Protagonists.

Now that we know a little about Jason and Lucia how do we feel about Michael, Franklin, Trevor. I personally felt that three characters was a tad too much for the story they told and that two would have been better. Franklin needed more development. Trevor's act gets old kinds quick. Michael is fine I guess. I like the emphasis on the heists but mostly the story just focused on being the FIB's dog.

I can't quite put my finger on why Wind Wakers dungeons are so disappointing

I love Wind Waker and despite thinking it is the weakest 3D Zelda, it is still better than so many other games out there.

While browsing the Nintendo Store I saw Rise is on sale for 4€ and I'm thinking of getting it but I don't know if it's a good place to dip my toes into the franchise.

Steam Beta Client Update: September 25th

We have just shipped an updated Steam Client to the Preview/Beta channel. General: Fixed the Recordings & Screenshots dialog not showing all games that have related screenshots in the game filter dropdown. Improved the text layout in achievement notifications when the name, description or both wrap across multiple lines. Fix some cases of header/footer flicker and invisibility during the first seconds after waking from sleep. When waking from sleep with a game running but the account now playing elsewhere: Provide an option to exit the local game. Go back to sleep if there is no input for 60 seconds. Fixed issues with trackpad typing if the trackpad is touched while the onscreen keyboard is opening Steam Input: Improved the consistency of trackpad sensitivity between Steam Deck and Steam Controller Fixed cases where the Virtual menu modes could show the wrong activation type if it was created in the standalone menu vs from a controller source Implemented a version of the "Reorder Controller" dialog for Steam Input API games. Note - this disconnects the controllers temporarily so older games which do not handle hot plugging properly can lose controller input Additional polish for the multibinding page In the desktop UI overlay the desktop config will now be applied. For most gamepads this will not be a difference in behavior because they have a blank desktop config, but Steam Controllers or devices that have setup a custom desktop config will have mouse input to click on things in the overlay. Remote Play: Improved color accuracy when streaming from a Windows computer Fixed the mouse cursor when streaming from Linux using the SteamRT3C client Fixed a capture lockup when streaming from pipewire on Linux and SteamOS Reduced Pyrowave latency when streaming from pipewire on Linux and SteamOS Added the -pyrowavestats command line option to log Pyrowave encoding performance SteamRT3 Experimental Beta Fixed Steam overwriting PATH, LD_PRELOAD, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables when launching games.

(Not Dragon Ball, Please Don't Sue). QuByte Interactive has announced Thunder Hoop Collection , bringing together two of the 1990s' weirdest and most obscure run 'n' gun arcade release: Thunder Hoop (1992) and TH Strikes Back (1994). This bizarre and ballistic compendium will launch on PC and consoles October 8. Developed by Spanish troublemakers Gaelco, Thunder Hoop follows the explosive exploits of the titular hero: a bio-engineered soldier capable of incredible feats of strength, such as channelling fireballs from the palms of his hands (while also bearing more than a passing resemblance to Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball hero, Goku). Thunder Hoop is unleashed on the world after a nefarious bio-terrorist, Professor Genbreak, attempts to conquer the planet with his army of genetically engineered mutants.

Approaching A 10 Second Linux Kernel Build

The coffee window is closing. Going back many years with the time it's taken to compile the Linux kernel has been a well known opportunity for a coffee break or even eating a meal during the lengthy Linux kernel build process. Even when the Linux kernel was much smaller than it is today, with the hardware at the time it would often be a very time consuming process... Thus incredible to think that we are now on the horizon of a ten second clean, default kernel build on Linux x86_64.

GTA 6 Can't Completely Sweep This Year's GOTY Awards Anymore

The awards show has today revealed its lineup of nominees for each accolade it has to offer, and GTA 6 is absent. Why? Because the Golden Joysticks take place eight days before the game is even out.

The Xbox reset doesn't have an end date | Opinion

Highlighting the division's low "accountability margin" and declining revenues, along with macro factors like the hardware component crisis, Sharma's post was a fairly obvious omen of layoffs to come – corporate executives don't say things like "we have found ourselves over extended" or start talking about "hard truths" unless a whole lot of people are about to lose their jobs.

I got whomped by an Ork horde in Total War: Warhammer 40,000, definitely on purpose, to teach you a lesson about positioning

Demo sessions are often terrible ways to see a game, doubly so at conferences. You want to sink into a game at your own pace (and with unbroken access to fresh cups of tea), not get dropped into the middle of the action, hoisted up again 20 minutes later and plonked into another section of a game. However, that's the nature of these things sometimes and it suits some games more than others. Total War: Warhammer absolutely does not suit it. Grand strategy games are built for armchair generals. Not just any armchair, either, a wingback one where the leather on the arms is nearly worn through where said general has rested their elbows in deep contemplation. They're not games made to be played in short bursts. As such, I can't really speak to Total War: Warhammer 40,000's end quality from its Gamescom demo, but perhaps it says something that after an hour where I played 20 minutes of the battle tutorial, 20 minutes of the campaign tutorial, and 20 minutes in a scenario where my Space Marine army faced an overwhelming assault from an ork horde, I still came away keen as the baked beans found in an Astra Militarium ration pack to play the full game.

GTA 6 Pre-Orders 'Heavily Skewed' Towards PS5, Xbox Exec Responds

Sony reportedly dominating biggest game of the generation. Sony is spending an obscene amount of money to make sure GTA 6 “feels” like an exclusive – and it’s working, apparently. A new report from The Verge (paywalled) digs into the larger dramas occurring at Xbox of late, including its massive layoffs and restructuring.

LOVE alt delete is a Y2K horror visual novel where you use one AI chatbot to help you date another that, don't worry, doesn't use the nasty generative stuff

I would hope that for most of you it would not be a controversial thing to hear me say I hate generative AI. It stinks! It is rotting everyone's brains, and the people shilling it don't even care (see Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang saying he doesn't think it matters that kids aren't actually learning things like basic math when they use AI ). But - please don't leave yet - it sure does make for some primo storytelling.

Like its predecessor, Iron Bramble is a pixel art metroidvania , one where you have a grappling hook that lets you swing about the place at rapid pace, only this time the setting is a "cyber-gothic megastructure" and you play a story-eating demon (?) woman in a world where humanity's flesh bodies have all died out and their souls now reside in metal, robotic husks.

Silent Hill 2 songs: Theme of Laura, Promise, and Love Psalm. Original or Remake's versions?

IMO the originals I think fit the vibe better, but the new ones are good, upbeat versions. Love Psalm also has a third version from Shattered Memories that's much more rock and has lyrics. Anyways, anyone prefer the Remake versions? Think the remake versions fit the games story vibe better? Yes the whole Remake soundtrack has updated versions of it's songs but those 3 are like the important ones. IMO

Modder Successfully Creates Atari Jaguar OS, Envisioning The Unreleased 'Atari Painter' Home Computer

RISCy Business. A modder has given new life to a project left on Atari's cutting room floor some 35 years ago. Using the Atari Jaguar hardware as its base, Homebrewer Clint Thomson has constructed an OS that envisions the Atari Painter - an unreleased home computer scheduled to launch in the mid-'90s. The Atari Painter was pitched as a CD-based home computer that would serve as a possible successor to Atari's ST and Falcon line. The original design concept , sketched out in the early '90s by Richard Miller's R&D team, would marry the Falcon's home computer design and architecture with the Atari Jaguar's contemporary RISC circuitry. Eventually, the project was scrapped, with the entire team shifting its focus exclusively to the Jaguar itself. Read the full article on timeextension.com
