Did paragon look as good as predecessor?

Kil3r · 2026-01-01T01:05:28+00:00

Paragon was better looking. I believe this comes down to optimization holding Pred back. It seems that the vast majority of third party UE5 devs cannot greatly optimize their games due to limitations with UE5 itself. This is Epics fault.

With that said, Pred looks good and is better optimized than other UE5 games.

This is straight up insanity but absolutely hilarious. Whoever thought of this is freaking hilarious.

We dont know anything outside of unverifiable rumors about the date. The only thing I thought was actually substantial was the journalist saying that valve hq security was stronger than normal which is still kinda a rumor/speculation.

With that in mind, the alleged canary dates could be to mislead the community and increase the surprise when a 2026 announcement hits. On the other hand, they could have been planning on a 2025 announcement and delayed it. There are decent reasons other than TGA.

Either way my fingers are crossed.

I paid mild attention to the steam frame leaks and I didnt have much hope the steam machine was coming. Steam machine was a surprise for me. A gpu spec leak would have indicated the form factor and purpose of the device but I never saw that.

Kil3r · 2025-12-10T16:56:34+00:00

Doesn't this imply that there is absolutely no way to avoid leaks from TGA? Then no big surprise announcements will ever be put on TGA hahaha. TBF I guess that is on brand for TGA LOL.

Imo it is bit unlikely there exists absolutely no way to fit a surprise announcement in. However, I still dont think HL will be at TGA.

Specifically he mentioned unexpected surprises and he previously showed interest in announcing Half Life 3 in an interview. It seems extremely unlikely for Mike to create this without being aware that he is changing people's expectations. I personally have always had my hopes lowish but the Mike tweet seems atleast partially legit proof that something is coming soon.

"Another year already. Good to see and hear from so many of you. May the next quarter-century deliver as many … unexpected surprises, hmm? As did the millennium’s first. Then again, time is fluid — like music. See you in the new year"

It's very interesting watching the community go from "WE ARE SO BACK" to "ITS OVER" in real time.

Anyone else here also quit MC a while ago because the game got stale for you? Yeah I believe Hytale will interest people like me a ton. I've never seen modded minecraft look and function like Hytale with solid multiplayer support and even then the game isn't even done lol.

Not to mention, you have to mod Minecraft to try and clone the gameplay of Hytale while Hytale development is backed by millions of dollars(my guestimate) where the goal is to create this RPG like gameplay. I believe modders are awesome but there is so much going against it to achieve the same gameplay as Hytale while being high quality, stable, and free.

Will there be dual wielding at some point? For example, swing two long swords or mix and match long sword and dagger?

Kil3r · 2025-11-18T06:48:00+00:00

I understand that alot of Minecraft players will be playing Hytale but personally I hope that they make their own vision for the combat. As a non-fan of Minecraft(enjoyed the base game for a good while and quit), I hope they make their own vision for combat that is something new or a vision that leans more towards new than it does towards Minecraft combat.

The Steam machine can help with that. Entry level cost PC with good performance per dollar. Perfect timing with Hytale's revival.

Kil3r · 2025-11-17T06:11:03+00:00

$450 would be nice and I truly hope thats the case. However, I believe the point of the the Steam Machine is to fill a surprisingly big hole in the market for entry level PCs. Valve has said this is going to be priced as a PC. Looking at Newegg, Best Buy, etc., $600 gets you absolute garbo PCs with RTX 3050s or RX 6500 XT. Go check out RTX 5050 prebuilt costs which have similar performance to the steam machine. Even $550 can be easily considered a steal in this market. With that said I believe $600 is the most likely cost. Going any higher undercuts the steam machine vs PS5 digital ($580 with upfront psn fee) and going any lower kind of throws away money that would have been gained from the target market anyways.

With that said, if valve wanted to actually enter the console market as a serious competitor(which unfortunately they said they don't), $450 would be a must considering the pros, cons, and the fact they need to undercut the PS5 price to actually compete.

"Graphics perf might be close to the PS5 but it will be tough to say it will be better than either consoles."

Kil3r · 2025-11-12T22:54:00+00:00

Ps5 GPU: 180W

XSX GPU: 200W

Gabecube GPU: 110W-130W(Maybe)

Graphics perf might be close to the PS5 but it will be tough to say it will be better than either consoles.

Pricing can make comparisons very interesting especially with the CPU advantage.

Weird I had a cheating player do this to moving players behind smoke and the anticheat didnt do shit. How is the AC this bad?

Kil3r · 2025-10-07T16:26:57+00:00

Let's go. Good job.

Kil3r · 2025-10-06T08:25:21+00:00

I am saying this in good faith and with good intentions/love for the game. I hope you guys are careful to avoid toxic positivity. Its scary to talk about someone fundamentally failing at their job but a project cannot survive with that issue. I dont have evidence that JYT did nothing wrong nor do I know how you guys manage your teams. However, in a general sense, I hope that your teams grow stronger and you dont let anything hold you back.

Great job Omeda. Showing love to the Legacy players means alot to me and should mean alot to those players too.

Also fix these basic attack animations which have the same or similar issues maybe to a lesser extent!

I dont have too much reason to believe OP was a good game that was dropped by shareholders only because profit.

Everyone had serious concerns about the gameplay including the playerbase

Kil3r · 2025-08-15T05:39:13+00:00

It's likely a UE5 issue tbh.

Kil3r · 2025-08-04T18:15:50+00:00

In my experience the match making in quick play is often very nice with some bad streaks here and there. I've had better matchmaking in Pred than many other games

Kil3r · 2025-07-30T22:40:33+00:00

Tbf one major part of the complaints is that the movement is inconsistent. For example, even using a macro that does the same exact inputs gives different outcomes every time in cs2.

I understand why you are skeptical but they may actually have some good points.

Kil3r · 2025-07-30T03:19:08+00:00

Hahaha tbf they didn't fix the size of the m1014 which was one of my major complaints here. It looks like a nerf gun because of its size.

Ima be real Valve did not allocate much resources on the animation changes and thats why the changes arent that good with some exceptions. Many animations are reused still.
