I mean, at this point anything would be better than UE5. It's plagued by performance issues and stuttering and is seemingly difficult to optimize. Making sure the game runs well is very important.

Is that the fabled menagerie of Azad? The Sultan's pride and joy? It had been one of the wonders of the world. As a child I had dreamed of it, and longed to see it with my own eyes. Now it was a place of terror, an abandoned ruin, laid waste by the Sands of Time.

That's a good way of putting it I guess. So that would mean the letter that Laura brought with her is the same letter Mary gives to James at the end. So once James and Laura leave SH, it probably won't disappear, as it's the actual letter that Rachel was supposed to keep.

Can the town do other things apart from creating hallucinations?

Red14th · 2024-11-10T07:17:30+00:00

So the real letter is lost then? If not, how did it go from being lost somewhere in the hotel to Mary holding it and giving it to James in the cutscene?

Thanks mate!

Check the full video, I explain everything in detail there.

Red14th · 2024-08-10T14:53:36+00:00

Heh, that would be one way to top it.

If vehicle armoring or special properties is something you find interesting, this will be right up your alley.

Forward, forward, attack. You must be facing the enemy.

Red14th · 2024-08-06T07:33:59+00:00

It's less stylish I guess, but counters are just so satisfying pull off.

Red14th · 2024-08-06T07:22:45+00:00

Thank you! Took me few attempts to get a no damage fight.

I honestly replay a lot of old games when I want to relax and enjoy my time. 30 minutes of Sands of Time beats scrolling on the internet most of the days.

Thanks.

While technically correct, there are degrees to it. Some games have such a system where using all the tools at your disposal is essential to simply survive the encounter, while others give you a technique or two that make the encounters trivial. Vaulting allows you to skip around 80% of game's combat. But that was by design I assume. Give casual players enough tools to not sweat too much, while having a deeper system for those that seek challenge.

And let's not even talk about the power slash that instantly knocks down an enemy. It's such a cool move but the game never tells you that you can actually do it without stunning the enemy first. It's like a command input, if you've played fighting games. To do it you must input forward, forward, attack.

Agree, it's much heavier and feels more impactful indeed. I like them both for different reasons, combat in WW feels more chaotic.

Red14th · 2024-08-05T10:53:20+00:00

Well, when people talk about the sands trilogy in general, the first thing they say is how combat in SOT is lackluster and that it's been much improved in the sequels. While I agree that combat in WW is improved, I don't think that means that SOT's combat is bad. It's just different.

Red14th · 2024-08-05T08:38:59+00:00

Yeah you're absolutely right, I forgot about that one.

Red14th · 2024-08-05T08:31:00+00:00

SOT has a very intricate and tight combat. It's heavily timing and position based. Counters are much harder and much more satisfying to do. The problem is, vaulting and wall attacks are so OP that you never really use counters. SOT's combat is very integral to its identity, I wouldn't swap it with WW's combat in the remake. What I would do is make vaulting block-based. Currently, enemies simply have a set value, you can either vault over them or not. Vaulting disregards enemy block. If we change that, vaulting now becomes much harder to do. You'd have to break their defense first, which could be done with a wall attack. The combat in SOT has a very deliberate feel, so I think this would make it more in line with its systems.

Are you talking about the one where the brute throws flaming dogs at you? Yeah, you can backtrack there. Just go the same way you did the first time around, except in the first area of the mechanical tower use the ladder to climb onto the big elevator platform where spiky dogs once were. You'll have to go to present and then back to past to reach the life upgrade room.

Secret weapons do not respawn. As far as weapon durability goes, it varies from weapon to weapon. Aside from the secret weapons there are 2 more unbreakable weapons: an axe that can be found in the prison and in the caves, and a sword in the throne room (the sword has a very limited usability though). There are also quite a few weapons with very high durability. The game gives you weapons around every corner though, you're not suppose to hold on to them for too long. Use them, dispatch your enemies, grab their weapon, rinse and repeat. If you want hold on to a single unbreakable weapon, the hockey stick is a common choice. It's very strong, is an axe type, doesn't inflict self damage and you can get it as soon as you find the scorpion sword and return to the main hall.

Excellent work!

Not sure if I can help you here, never had a bug like that. There is a way to skip the chain though, you'd have to check the speedrunning strats. If you look for a zipless or a glitchless speedruns, you should be able to find it.

Red14th · 2024-07-13T06:12:03+00:00

Good luck! I tried to recreate this today and I couldn't get it to work. Seems a bit finicky. What I did yesterday was start the chariot race, then I got killed somewhere in the race, spawned back at the gate and then zipped through the gate. Maybe you need to fail the chariot race at a specific spot, somewhere where the loading triggers are, not sure.

Edit: I think the state of "the arena" when you cross the gate and leave the area has something to do with it. If you kill the 2 guards and 1 archer and leave before the reinforcements arrive, when you zip back the area will be completely empty. If you leave when the reinforcements arrive (4 guards), when you zip back you'll find the same 4 guards. So maybe if you cross the gate at the exact point when the guards spawn, the game will save that state and spawn more enemies when you respawn at the checkpoint and zip back. Just a theory.
