    Half Life 2 RTX

    in Shooters

    The real way to play half life 2 again is in VR.  Played the whole thing, and it was amazing.  Every part of it seemed like it was made with VR in mind.

    Here are some thoughts after a few weeks on GT7 daily, using VR.

     

    The VR is great, brilliant in fact, but there are some really stupid downsides.  Coming out of the pits, it resets the view, and Lord help you if you aren't staring at where your wheel should be.  Why?  FUCKING WHY?  The view has been great so far, why reset it?  Also you need to guess where your steering wheel should be pointing, otherwise 3 second penalty.  Dumb.  There are no timings other than your lap time, so you can't tell where you make up or lose time, it's a real pain.  The view is pretty restricted (just like a real car), but everyone else gets to sit on the roof of their car like Mr Bean driving his mini.  VR only lobbies would fix this.

     

    I've hit a plateau where I'm ranked B but not fast enough to make up any places.  Not their fault, but it's frustrating.  I found myself in the top 3 and got punted, I had to quit before I went mad max on the entire field.

     

    It's been fun, but it's starting to get a bit.... unfun.  I think I'd rather race friends.  And punt them off instead.  🙂

    I've been racing online.  Turns out you're all a bunch of dirty barstewards.  Been lapping fairly consistently and even managed to get a few firsts.  Still getting the hang of overtaking, but I've found for the most part, if you apply enough pressure, people tend to make a mistake.  Onwards and upwards.

    Could SEGA find a niche in todays digital only world?

    Dear Sega,

     

    I hope this letter finds you riding the wave of nostalgia and innovation that has always been your hallmark. I am one of the countless fans whose voice has longed to see Sega leap back into the console hardware race, even though the timing never seemed quite right. The landscape of gaming has evolved, with future consoles setting their sights on a digital-only horizon. Yet, in this shift, there lies a unique opportunity.

     

    There’s a palpable charm in the tactile feel of a game cartridge or disc, in the artistry of a physical case, and the permanence of owning a tangible piece of gaming history. This magic is what a segment of gamers fear losing in the all-digital future. Sega, if you were to release even a console with modest hardware that champions physical media, I believe you would garner an instant following overnight. There are so many of us who still wish to buy and cherish our games in a form that we can display, share, and enjoy in a traditional sense.

     

    This approach could be a brilliant strategy for Sega to carve its way back into the hardware market. Not only would it appeal to the retro enthusiasts and collectors but also to those who simply crave the option to own physical copies of their games, an audience that feels increasingly marginalized as the industry pivots towards digital-only offerings.

     

    Imagine a console that captures the essence of Sega’s pioneering spirit, one that embraces the past while looking to the future. A machine that balances performance with the promise of a tangible library, perhaps even offering creative incentives for physical purchases. It’s a bold move, but boldness is part of Sega’s DNA, is it not?

     

    As a company that has always dared to dream differently, this could be a momentous opportunity to reconnect with old fans and capture new hearts, all while reigniting the passion for physical media that seems to be slowly dimming in the gaming world’s collective consciousness.

     

    Thank you for the memories, the innovation, and the dreams. Here’s to hoping you’ll once again disrupt the gaming world with a touch of that Sega magic.

     

    Warm regards and best wishes,

    Games for me have lost their way.  The lust for bigger worlds, betterererer graphics and realism.  Even sonic lost its charm in a 3D world.  Would games find their magic if they were constrained by older tech, could innovation and retro collide to make a gaming future where you don't download updates?  Multiplayer on the net only, no DLC, no payment plans.  Sounds good to me.

    Your thoughts on the Ev furure

    Micro transportation.  Clive Sinclair had it right, just a bit early.  Cities and all new developments need to build cycle lanes that cut through to the right places.  Regulate and permit personal e scooters.  Up the limit on power for bikes.  Even the Citroen Ami has a role for nipping about.  But as long as people are driving Porsche hybrids that are massive and worse on fuel than a small car we're not going to make any progress.

    Thinking of getting the dlc for pc.  Bit annoyed that it isn't cross purchase.  I love the pick up and play aspect of PlayStation, but pc is better for serious accuracy when you really need to make a sniper shot for example.  Only draw back is the convoluted way of need to integrate PlayStation chat.
