With such few details, all fans can do is wait and hope to hear news from Microsoft.Take to the skies in the World’s favourite flight simulator! If Microsoft Flight Simulator does come to Xbox One, it may not be in the same capacity as the current-gen console release. The PC version takes quite a lot of horsepower, so adapting that to even the Series X|S may be tricky. There's even talk of a potential VR release for Series X|S.Īs this is the very first Microsoft Flight Simulator console release, it's not exactly surprising that development is taking some time. Additionally, the Series X|S version will no doubt take advantage of 4K capabilities, as the PC version did. The console versions will receive the very same treatment. Those who have followed Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Game Pass for PC will know that Microsoft has steadily delivered free World Updates and DLC packs since launch day. The rating would confirm that an Xbox One version is coming after all, and possibly sooner than fans may have expected.Īlthough Xbox Game Studios has not provided an official release date for Microsoft Flight Simulator on consoles, the developer did tease some of the content players could expect. However, if it is true, then it may be what Microsoft needed to keep the ball rolling on the console versions' production. The Video Standards rating listed a Madate and dubbed Microsoft Flight Simulator " suitable for all ages." Now, as WCCFTech noted, the PEGI rating may not necessarily be correct. Related: Microsoft Flight Simulator Helicopter Mod Takes Off Without In-Game PhysicsĪ European PEGI rating for Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox One has given fans a glimmer of hope. ![]() It's also unclear if or when an Xbox One version will arrive. Microsoft did confirm that an Xbox Series X|S version was in the works in December, but there haven't been any updates since. Microsoft Flight Simulator became Xbox Game Pass for PC's biggest launch ever, leaving console owners eager to try the game themselves. That release saw major success, raking in more than 1 million players in two weeks. The developer then announced in 2019 that a new Microsoft Flight Simulator would take off on Xbox Game Pass for PC in Summer 2020. At the time, Microsoft shifted its gaming focus from PC to consoles, so the PC-only franchise temporarily fell by the wayside. The Microsoft Flight Simulator series dates back to 1982, though it experienced a lengthy hiatus from 2009 to 2020. At the time, Microsoft promised that the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions would arrive in Summer 2021, but fans have yet to hear an official date. The latest installment in the long-running flight simulation franchise released on PC back in August 2020. A new Microsoft Flight Simulator rating for Xbox One has made fans hopeful that a console release date for the game will be revealed soon. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of the best ways to play Wii U games on an updated console, both on your TV and in handheld mode without experiencing lag or frame rate drop.Īnd, it’s 100% legal, so you don’t need to worry about Doug Bowser and actual Bowser knocking on your door in the middle of the night. Ok, we’ve done that thing again where we put a paid app or shop in at the end of an emulator article, but hear us out. It works great now, but the developers are continually working to make sure that goes from strength to strength, so keep checking for updates and support the cause. The most important thing to remember with Cemu is that it’s an ongoing project. The Cemu website is great and has a well-laid-out compatibility list showing which games work well and which ones still have problems. If it has lots of information and FAQs, then I’m instantly on board. Regular readers know how much I love a good website when it comes to emulation. That’s how much people wanted this thing to be able to play the new Zelda adventure! When BOTW first came out for the Wii U, the Cemu Patreon page was pulling in around $22,000 a month. This means that it has a dedicated team of people updating the program on a fortnightly basis. Quite a lot of the emulators that we cover here on Retro Dodo are open source programs capable of being updated by other users. Any program that sees Mario Kart 8 running at 8K and BOTW running at 4K is a surefire winner, and Cemu is continuously improving month on month.

Like some of the other emulator lists we’ve written for new consoles, it’s still very much early days. ![]() ![]() There are only three programs in this list of the best Wii U emulators. But, if you don’t have a Wii U, then there are a couple of ways you can play these games on your Laptop or PC. I had one of these when it first came out, sold it before I went travelling, and recently bought one again to replay Windwaker and Twilight Princess in HD. It’s very much the stepping stone that took us from the Wii to the Nintendo Switch, and that means that we should all be saluting it instead of slagging it off behind its back! The Wii U got a bit of a bad rap when it came out. No one playing it for the first time is going to give a flying toss about how bad the graphics are compared to an Xbox or PlayStation.Boot up your PC and get ready to visit Hyrule in sweet 4K as we delve into the best Wii U emulators of 2021! The real genius behind the Wii is that it can reach out to people who are not so serious about gaming, therefore giving the more game-oriented consoles a shot at finding more users. But that doesn’t stop it from being well-loved in the retro gaming market. When it comes to media features, the Wii stands short and well behind competitors like the Xbox 360, and its ATI-powered graphics are underwhelming, to say the least. It was designed to appeal to a broader market. However, this is not a device for hard-core gamers. The hardware also contains USB slots where you can charge your devices and an SD slot for storage. You can power off the entire system as well other connected controllers simply by hitting the ‘off’ button on your own controller. The design is hugely impressive in many areas. Meanwhile, an Ethernet adapter is an optional extra. The Wii has integrated Wi-Fi connectivity so you can play online.

When I heard they couldn't be bothered to model the cockpits, I made sure to avoid it, and when I heard it was because they were relying on marketing data, instead of leaving design to the passion and creativity of their devs, I just facepalmed. Dirt Rally 2.0’s visuals are almost take-it-for-granted spectacular, even on a launch PlayStation 4 (my test console). Sorry for going off-topic, but I never played Grid 2. DiRT Rally is a better sim game than DiRT 4. Simulators are supposed to contain as many accurate systems as possible, that's what a sim is. Maybe Codemasters should hire 1-2 guys from Reiza to help, they have dirt physics in Automobilista (done by around 1-2 guys), that basically just pisses on everything Codemasters ever created. It's the difference between having actual AI opponents in a game, and AI opponents that magically disappear when they're out of view, like they do in their F1 games. One is an attempt to model a system accurately, the other is just meant to trick you. Anything you see in a Codemasters game isn't simulated, it's hacked together and there's a huge difference. It's all held together with twine and scotch tape. As a racing game that requires a bit of skill, it's extremely fun and rewarding.Ĭodemasters have really never been on a level where they've been able to create accurate systems.Īnyone ever play Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising? I remember playing around with the editor and realizing just how ridiculously limited the EGO Engine was. I really don't understand the sim label for Dirt Rally. ![]() ![]() ![]() Every time I watch someone play ABZ Û and see that sense of awe on their face, it makes my day! However, I firmly believe that ABZ Û is one of those games that needs to be experienced. The kelp ended up having a similar, but slightly less intimate, system constantly playing audio that would raise the volume and react based on the kelp around the player. The accomplishment was huge and allowed for the entire game to have this same system used throughout. In the end, this was insanely efficient because only 4 sound effects were playing with only a couple of parameters being sent to them. After setting up these parameters and the audio to play, we determined a way to also have the event pan around the diver relative to where the schools of fish were around her, and also while allowing it to become full surround when the player was inside a baitball. The lead programmer, Brian Balamut, and I then came up with a system that constantly plays ~4 sound files, but would change in volume and pitch, add and remove filters, and add effects based on only two parameters: density and the overall speed of the school of fish. There are 100 schools at a time in some areas of the game. This idea was also too CPU intensive to calculate every time the gamer turns to see one. A first thought was to place audio sources around the center of schools of fish, somehow roughly calculating the center of a school, and spawning an audio source there that would change depending on how big the school was. It would be far too CPU intensive with everything else the game demands at any given second. This is mainly due to the fact that our first reaction in regards to the school of fish concept was that these fish would not be able to have independent audio sources, one for each of them. I personally feel the schooling fish are the main selling point and accomplishment for Giant Squid, and I am very happy about the audio. In time, we realized that the lack of atmosphere brought about a sense of loneliness and solemnness in this game, and we took advantage of this in some of the deeper environments within the game to bring about a sense of uneasiness, but without being over-the-top scary. This really helped the game feel familiar, but the added distortion brought about a sense of mystery and made it feel like a new and different world. Many of the animal calls and background noise elements were some sort of distorted version of common animal and insect sounds we hear daily. Every day, I would remind myself to make this world foreign yet welcoming. I felt that if I were scared by what I was doing, so would others. I found this to be one of the longest running but also easiest of challenges due to my own aqua phobia. As a result, audibly, I feel that I had to reinvent the wheel quite a lot to design systems which I was not sure other games had at that point.Īnother challenge was making this unfamiliar world feel welcoming for the player to explore. Subnautica and Ecco the Dolphin were obvious references but didn’t exhibit any of the behaviors we were creating, such as free-form swimming, air tanks, masses of schooling fish interacting with the gamer, dynamic kelp that would brush against you, and many more magical moments related to the ABZ Û experience. Upon starting, we very quickly realized this game would be an entirely unique challenge because there were very few references of well-made audio for this style of game. Essentially, Austin is the primary reason we chose Wwise alongside Unreal Engine 4. It felt cleaner to me and I felt more confident handling the music of a Grammy-nominated composer using Wwise. As a result, I felt more comfortable going with Wwise because I had seen how it handles music. I also knew Austin Wintory ( Journey, The Banner Saga) would be composing the music for the game. I had equal self-taught experience with both roughly, and had studied Leonard Paul's game audio classes online. I was given the option between FMOD and Wwise since they were not tied down to either audio engine at that point. Giant Squid brought me on before we even had an environment artist, and this would eventually become an extremely valuable and ‘audible’ decision. As a result, I was able to tie audio into the game’s core components rather than develop it as an afterthought. Giant Squid had been developing ABZ Û for a couple of years before then, but it was still at a late-ish pre-production stage. I had just graduated college and ABZ Û was lined up to be my very first commercial game. I was brought onto ABZ Û in January of 2015. To give context regarding my mindset and everyone else’s on our team, I would need to go back a bit. ![]() ![]() Three-character code uniquely identifying a cycling team according to UCI Identifier for a boxer in the BoxRec database For an event like a cycle race or a football match you can use this property to list the teams and P710 to list the individuals (with 'member of sports team' (P54) as a qualifier for the individuals)Ģ014 FIFA World Cup Final Argentina national football team Overall pick number with which a player is selected in a sports draft Identifier for a Minor League Baseball player assigned by Identifier for a Major League Baseball player assigned by ī minor & foreign league player ID Identifier for a chess player's page at (Internet Chess Club)ī major league player ID Identifier on the website Cycling Database (.
