STS was Java running on libgdx.
STS2 will be C# on Godot.
Based on this: https://caseyyano.com/on-evaluating-godot-b35ea86e8cf4
They wrote this article: https://caseyyano.com/on-evaluating-godot-b35ea86e8cf4
And they released a tech demo as part of the evaluation: https://megacrit.itch.io/dancing-duelists
I believe the acts themselves will be longer and more fleshed out but there’s less of them.
6 acts in Path of Exile 2 instead of the 10 acts that PoE1 has.
It’s actually an upgraded version of the same engine, and Path of Exile 1 is getting a lot of the new tech backported.
It was originally supposed to replace Path of Exile 1, but now they are going to exist together.
2 will be more refined and slower, with a brand new story and 6 new acts. Should be a fun time.
I didn’t enjoy the first one, I am enjoying the second one a lot more. It’s not perfect, but the stories are generally better and things feel more polished. It’s still an old-school JRPG though.
You can still play the game offline and single player just fine. Multiplayer has never been a core feature for my playthroughs. I don’t think it ever worked particularly well.
SSDs have gotten so cheap and fast recently.
Most games now assume you have one. Games are generally built around having minimal or even no loading screens. So fast storage is a must.
I played a bit of Craftopia awhile back from the same developers. It was weird, disjointed, buggy and strange.
I expect this will be more of the same. But I hope I’m wrong. It would be wild for this game to be decent to good.
Definitely agree with this. Locked 30fps mode with motion blur set to 2/5 was the ideal way to play this game. Performance mode was far too unstable and blurry especially on a larger TV. Digital Foundry also suggested just locking it to 30 and not switching back and forth. Your eyes do eventually adjust.
I wish the performance mode was better, but it seems pretty clear that 30fps was the performance target.
If you want a turn based RPG, OctoPath Traveler 2 is a really excellent option.
I know what this post is referencing, but I don’t think that was really the message that they were trying to convey.
Baldurs Gate 3 is an incredibly good game, but it will be difficult for most average studios to emulate their success.
They had a very long developmental cycle of 6+ years, very successful early access, and a team of 400+ experienced developers who know this genre better than anyone.
I would absolutely love to see another studio attempt something this ambitious, but it’s going to be really hard to top this game for the foreseeable future.
I really like Divinity Original Sin 2, but this game is far better in almost every way. It definitely feels like an evolution.
Pretty much a perfect summary, well said.
The short version:
Longer details:
It mostly just contains graphical changes, and adds optional ray tracing which I wouldn’t suggest unless you have a very powerful computer.
It had some issues when it first came out, but it seems to work fine now from my experience. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking but it’s a nice update. Textures especially look better overall.
