I’m still mad about Need for Speed because it had a segment that was about cannonball running with a hot British love interest lady and then it’s like, maybe a 10 minute scene? Why would that not be the entire movie

yeah but it’ll be annoying and prolly involve using like zero tier to play over a fake lan like every dead old game. fucking motherfuckers. A ton of people still play ut99 and ut2004. if we’re lucky ppl will put up a fan master server pretty quick. still pisses me off though

yeah, hopefully, sucks to see such a well-supported old game get taken out, though; you could still use the official server browser on ancient Macs, for goodness’ sake!

I forgot how I handled Gamespy’s master servers going down way back when. Hopefully switching UT will be as easy as managing that.

Wow, some real PS2 era Arika vibes from that.

Fantavision 202X has been announced for PSVR2 and it just looks like an up-resed Fantavision. I can’t tell if that is amazing or not.

It is with the HDR in the new headset

I could never decide between Tetris Effect on a VR headset or on an HDR television for sensory binding – it’s a game that really gets a lot from the sensory effects of bright, flashing lights in your periphery, and lowered brightness/contrast in the Index wasn’t giving me as pleasurably disorienting an effect. The PSVR2 version fixes that.

granted it’s obscene but i enjoyed syncing it on the TV to addressable LED strips around my living room that pulsed with the music
