![]() It's a scene many of us may have seen play out in real life, as a beloved, imperfect drinking den succumbs to gentrification, and is suddenly all kinds of terrible namely young, clean and fashionable. Move through to the back of the bar, and a trio of hip, snarky youngsters now fill the seats that once belonged to the three ageing Pirate Leaders. ![]() The once stained, pockmarked walls have been given a lick of vibrant paint, framed art hangs everywhere, and new clientele demand more ornate meals. The odd broken pane of glass in a window suggests plenty of pirate misbehaviour still takes place, but the Scumm Bar is not the tattered dive it once was. But let your eyes linger just a little longer, and it's apparent the original scene has been entirely reskinned. The overall composition is unchanged, right down to where people are seated. Visit this game's version of the Scumm bar, and at a glance everything appears the same. Much of Return to Monkey Island is built from settings that have undergone a subtle revolution. This is a game constructed from the familiar as much as the new, of course. Deliberately absurd name aside, Locke is stern and cool to the bone, and endures Guybrush at best, delivering all kinds of opportunities for laughs as she dismisses the protagonist's puns about 'locks' of hair, or extinguishes his enthusiasm for treasure hunting as he is bewildered by a map lacking any X to mark a spot. Or there's Mêlée's town's new locksmith, Locke Smith. Highlights include the oddly charismatic Putra, undead galley chef to LeChuck, who serves both rasping sass and all manner of delightfully gross food gag set-ups as she gradually develops an affection for Guybrush. Even voodoo is no longer in favour, with younger generations favouring "dark magic" in its place.Ī great many of Return to Monkey Island's best moments come from the new characters, who are almost universally brilliant. The old guard of established sea dogs now exist on the fringes, replaced by youthful upstarts eager to reset the rulebook. All that is the same, but with the passage of time new figures have risen to power, upsetting the traditions and conventions of Guybrush's world.

![]() It’s time to stand with your fellows who survived and fight with the extremely dangerous new threat, the Highwaymen. Instead, the games below are definitely confirmed to be getting DLSS support, based on the most recent information available to us.PC game Far Cry New Dawn is an opportunity for you to completely dive into the transformed vibrant country Montana, after 17 years when the global nuclear catastrophe happened. That said, several games Nvidia have announced over the past few years still haven't received their intended DLSS support yet, and consequently I've removed some of the titles that were previously included on this list, as even Nvidia seem to have forgotten about them in their most recent DLSS announcements. DLSS has now been integrated into both the Unreal Engine and Unity game-making tools now, so it should be much easier for developers to start adding in support for it. There are more DLSS games on the way, too. The latest version is DLSS 2.4, which reduces ghosting and further improves rendering of fast-moving objects. Whereas previous DLSS games looked noticeably blurry with DLSS enabled, DLSS 2.0 could often look indistinguishable from a game's native resolution. The introduction of DLSS 2.0 in games such as Death Stranding marked a real turning point for Nvidia's performance-boosting upscaling tech. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition.Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 6.Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach.Without further ado, then, here are all the Nvidia DLSS games you can currently play right now: It's an AI-powered upscaling technology that helps to boost performance at higher resolutions (particularly when you've got ray tracing enabled), and many of today's big ray tracing games such as Watch Dogs Legion simply aren't playable without it. Unlike ray tracing, which works on a lot of different AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs, DLSS require the use of an Nvidia RTX card specifically. Atomic Heart (update coming post-launch).Some are old games getting new ray tracing updates, others are upcoming titles that haven't been released yet. More ray tracing games are always on the way, so below you'll find all the other upcoming ray tracirng games we currently know about. The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition.Metro Exodus / Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition.Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach.Ray tracing games you can play right now: That includes DLSS 3, which on top of upscaling adds AI-generated frames for an even smoother look – but only works on Nvidia RTX 40 series cards, like the RTX 4070. You can find our regularly updated list of all the games with ray tracing and/or DLSS support below. These settings are tough on the ol’ hardware, mind, so you’ll need a strong GPU (and ideally an upscaler like DLSS) to keep your framerates from falling too low. RT effects like reflections, shadows, and global illumination can make for considerable visual upgrades, and games like Portal with RTX and Cyberpunk 2077 are now making the next move by including full-scale path tracing as well. There’s a reason why so many of the best graphics cards come from the green side.ĭLSS can also soothe the performance pain caused by enabling ray tracing, one of the other big steps forwards for games graphics in recent years. The results generally look better than rival upscalers like AMD FSR and Intel XeSS, and while we can grumble about DLSS being limited to running only on Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs, it really is best in its class. It’s got some sharp anti-aliasing built in too, but its primary purpose is to make your games run faster by rendering them at a lower resolution before patching the image up to resemble native rez. Absolutely tentaculous.ĭeep Learning Super Sampling, for the unfamiliar, is Nvidia’s upscaling tech. Actually two of those, since both the Sherlock Holmes The Awaked remake and side-scrolling monster wooer Romancelvania now support DLSS. The latest additions to this ever-growing pile of ray tracing and DLSS games are a robust mix of mega-budget adventure, offbeat indie, and Lovecraft love letter. ![]() If you don’t have a scale, you will need to just use the flat rate boxes or envelopes.

The original mod-release description by Cyberblutch (do NOT follow the outdated installation instructions): (As discussed later in this thread and here on TTLG.) Voodoo47 made the few living humans you meet (On earth, Chesapeake Bay, Chased woman, Watts, Cortez) use the models by Cyberblutch with appropriate textures. It was unofficially released at and is included here. It is a System Shock 2 model though, originally meant to become part of the Rebirth mod. Rebirth's author Cyberblutch contributed this model to Frobbers's Thief fan-mission Oracle of the Prophets. ZylonBane refitted the original SS2 midwife skin for the new model ( screenshot), to re-create that original scary look, that recalls the first female character to be changed: Nurse Erin Bloom. Rebirth's midwife skin drew a lot of attention to the oversized breasts of the model but it wasn't very scary. Oldschool Midwife - The Original SS2 Midwife Skin. The release didn't include a texture for the red monkey, so ZylonBane created one and tweaked the blue monkey texture to more closely resemble the original.īlaydes99 removed the red "vampire" eyes from the Many's faces. Updates from Rebirth Beta 01 to Rebirth 02Īn unofficial release of the monkeys, by Rebirth's author CyberBlutch. Rebirth is an enemy AI model and skins update and therefore fully compatible with SHTUP, the object texture update. The extensions were either released by Cyberblutch himself (like the monkeys) or taken from a fanmission that he had contributed a model to (like the rumbler) or are modifications by other parties.įor explanations on the original mod release (Rebirth Beta 01) see the description by Cyberblutch quoted below the ASCII art. ![]() This is an extended version of Cyberblutch's Rebirth Beta 01 Mod. Olfred's gibs (hires heart and stomach), now included in the Rebirth mod. The new models were made by Olfred, the original ghost texture by Muzman. This updates the 02 version with hipoly gore (ripped off head, leg and arms), and the suicide ghost model. This version includes the hires gibs for the sake of convenience, and also resolves the compatibility problem with some FMs (Ponterbee). ![]() Also, a previously unused corpse model with a ripped off arm is now used at a couple of places (corresponding ripped off arm model created by Olfred). A few small model flaws have been fixed as well. They all now have proper joints - as result, their necks are no longer rigid (headtracking will work), and the midwife and shotgun hybrid now launch their projectiles properly with their right arm (and not the abdomen). The 04 version includes fixed up models of the pipe hybrid, shotgun hybrid, and midwife (modifications done by RocketMan). The midwife model now has properly shaped face and hair (model fixed by Paynamia). The pipe hybrid's ankles now don't twist in unnatural ways after death, and Diego has a proper (round) bald head. The 05 version includes fixed up models of the pipe hybrid and Diego, and also all four multiplayer player models (model modifications done by RocketMan). ![]() Then in AoW2, most spellcasting was restricted to the Wizard, a completely fucktarded decision. They could've made units able to use the Spellcasting ability but they just didn't. In AoW1 you can have heroes running around completely alone anywhere on the map casting spells independently. In Master of Magic even some units had spellcasting. It's things like the shitbad garbage restrictions on spellcasting that are unfixable by modders (unless?). No repulsion of incline, merely a more polished form of decline. But this attitude suggests the game as a whole is creatively bankrupt, and will be nothing more than an upgraded AoW3. Modders will unironically fix race design since that's just assigning traits to units. Imagine reducing "races" to arbitrarily recombined pairs of of Civ-esque bonuses. Is it really the case that the frogmen don't even have an immutable advantage on water? I don't know how one might best describe this approach to design. Race doesn't even exist as a mechanic if there's nothing immutable to it. Thought that maybe AoW4 would be good enough, albeit more of the same, to make up for the weak points. I was kind of hype about this game, never played aow3/planetfall because the gameplay mechanics weren't good enough to make up for utterly shitbad artstyle. Honourable mention to pre-patch AoW2's draconian heroes with their flying. So, the game in the series with most racial diversity is still the very first entry, with its Lizardmen ruling the waves. ![]() Sure not all of the combinations are effective or synergistic, but when you're playing single player against dumb bots, trying weird shit is more fun than using effective shit. ![]() Playing vanguard celestian would feel quite different from playing assembly celestian, but also playing vanguard celestian would differ from a vanguard promethean or voidtech because you'd use unique upgrades from those tech trees to modify your units. In PF there were a lot more differences between different races, but also non-trivial differences between the same race picking a different starting tech. But there was a lot of difference between a dreadnought and a sorcerer or a druid or a warlord. A powerful enough sorceror can summon armies of powerful units faster than most cities can.In AoW3 there was next to 0 difference between picking, for example, human dreadnought or elf dreadnought or goblin dreadnought - past the initial part of the game all 3 would start spamming the dreadnought-specific units anyway and the only differences between these units would be the racial modifiers on the infantry units of the class. Sorcerors have access to only one class specific unit, but can summon a variety of powerful creatures. The sorceror relies heavily on spellcasting for both defense and offense, and can employ skills and buildings to help accrue mana to that end. The Sorcerer wields a wide arsenal of combat invocations and unit and domain enchantments. Seeking to unravel the mysteries of cosmos, they’ve learned to directly tap into the mana currents and wield magic in its purest form.The Sorcerer summons magical creatures ranging from shock Wisps to extra-dimensional Eldritch Horrors. After the ascension of the ancient Wizard Kings at the end of the Second Age, a new breed of magicians, called Sorcerers, claimed power. ![]() ![]() Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Minesweeper, and other casual games are available for free on Windows 10, via the Microsoft Store.With new features, collections, daily challenges and monthly events, Microsoft Solitaire Collection continues to be a digital sensation. And who knows? Maybe they'll use Solitaire to teach us how to use new sci-fi holographic brain interfaces in the future, just like it did with Windows 3.0 all those years ago. Immortalized by the Video Game Hall of fame, it looks like Solitaire and its casual brethren will remain a Windows staple for many more decades to come. Microsoft might not be in the mobile OS arena anymore, but the immortal Microsoft casual games suite remains a significant driver of engagement to the Xbox Live ecosystem, especially on those edge devices from other OSes where Microsoft otherwise wouldn't have an active presence. Microsoft's casual games reach people in every corner of the world. Microsoft has a bit of a renewed focus on mobile games as of late, owing to the arrival of the Xbox Live API on Android and iOS, as well as new mobile games like Forza Street, Gears POP! and the upcoming Minecraft AR mobile game codenamed "Genoa." "A lot of our gamers don't even consider themselves 'gamers,' yet they'll spend many hundreds more hours in our games than a core gamer might spend in their games." "One thing I really love about our games is that they reach everyone, in every corner of the world," he said. Jensen spoke passionately about the drive to reach audiences across the whole world, irrespective of who and where they are. These games enjoy tens of millions of users, across all demographics, across age ranges, gender, professions, and geographical location. A point of criticism often leveraged at Windows 10 is Microsoft's bundling of Candy Crush into the OS, which many of us choose to uninstall at the earliest possible convenience. There is an interesting divergence between what we typically see as "core" games, versus things like Candy Crush Saga and Angry Birds. We have also considered Nintendo Switch, but our focus right now is building our portfolio on PC and mobile, and web too. The gameplay experience on Xbox with a controller isn't great, which is the only thing that has stopped us bringing it across so far. "We would like to have Solitaire in every single place where it makes sense. Jensen's studio has been around for the past nine years, and " definitely have plans to modernize our entire portfolio of casual games," he said. Jensen says that despite the fact they're introducing larger changes relatively slowly, that hasn't hindered the team's future ambitions, which extends to everything from new games, to considering bringing existing games to new platforms.ĭid you know Minesweeper has an adventure mode? We have a popular guide on Windows Central on how to bring back the classic version of Solitaire on Windows 10, for example. Certainly, games like Minesweeper and Solitaire are tied up with literal decades worth of nostalgia. When it comes to modernization, Jensen described how its user base typically shuns change at the outset but is quick to embrace it. We already have the next two years mapped out in terms of updates we want to do. We've been iterating on Solitaire, averaging updates every six to eight weeks for the past seven years. "Solitaire, Mahjong, Minesweeper, Sudoku, etc. "In the short term, we want to bring our entire portfolio up to speed and modernize it," Jensen said. Games like Microsoft Solitaire 'live and breathe.' It's a unique take on the staple genre that exemplifies how Jensen and his team are approaching "evergreen" casual games in the future. Minesweeper, too, enjoys an "adventure mode," where you guide an Indiana Jones-like character through mine-laden archaeological digs. Now, Solitaire boasts multiple gameplay modes, new popular Solitaire variants, daily challenges, and a "Star Club" which offers cosmetic rewards, such as unique card styles.
