No, it's not a list to say "hey, they have games" - it's a list to show that pretty much all the studios are occupied or just released something, so what studios are you talking about? I would love to see more stuff too but who is left to reveal something right now? Realistically.

I think they're trying to find ways to make an arcade racer appeal to more people so the story stuff could be a good addition.

What didn’t you like about Halo? It’s not exactly Halo - I just mean it has open fights in large spaces

It’s very much that

I think it's just a fairly heavy UE5 game so there's not much hope. I'd play on PS5

Yeah, it runs really badly on Deck - on the lowest possible settings it's around 23 fps in the first area

No, it was just Reshade with one of the CRT filters that produces fine scanlines that look more like an actual VGA monitor rather than a TV (which most CRT filters tend to aim for). I was playing at 330hz so didn't need the beam shader.

It is not good on Deck. I get around 23 fps in the first area at the lowest settings. It’s UE5 so not light.

It sucks not really having a place to belong to. Everywhere is becoming like this, it feels.

Oh I found a 北海道五十三次 recently as well! According to a friend of mine at SunSoft, these were used in demo kiosks back in the day. Cool to see an Ikki one!
