I actually like Operation Flashpoint, though I haven not finished much of it yet (I played the one before it as well). The problem I have with it is they screwed the community over by stating they were going to have frequent DLC content, and no such thing happened after the first one.

I liked it too, mainly as I don't have a PC capable of playing ArmaII. My major gripe with OFP2 was the lack of a mission editor for the PS3 version. Would it hurt to allow a mission to be built on PC and exported at least?

Mission editors and map editors need more console love. Far Cry 1 & 2 are excellent examples of map editors. As for mission editors, I have never used one of those, but I would applaud it's existence on the PS3 and 360.

I want a new OFP, just please dear god make it like the first on. It was one of the best games ever, unlike the latest incarnation of crap.

"They" ( BIS ) did, it's called Armed Assault, then ArmA II, then ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead.

REALLY annoys me how UK companies feel the need to base all their games in the USA. Codemasters is a British company and GRID started out life as Colin McRae Rally who was a Scottish rally driver.

You've got the games mixed up there. GRID is a spiritual sequel to the ToCA Race Driver series, which in turn, followed the original ToCA Touring Car series.

Too bad those are only target renders. DiRT 2 looks amazing though, blows away pretty much every other racer released even today so I have no doubt they'll be able to get close to those renders.

If they do, I will be super excited. I didn't buy Dirt 1 due to the lame multiplayer aspect of it. Dirt 3 might be my first Dirt purchase.

they were 98% close to their Dirt2's target shot. (read in codemasters forum :p)

they should make cars somewhat heavier & a bit free from gravity.

dirt2 had lighter car which just refuse to leave the ground.

they left ground only in particular spots & drift was same, the car goes into drift mode only around turns.

anyways, hope that dirt3 is as smooth as dirt2, in mid end PCs

As long as it's not an unrealistic float like Motorstorm. Those vehicles fly and float like they are moon landers.

    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.

      So, the logo means No ducking AI?

      For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
