Glad co-op is finally here, going to get some good use out of my dock.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Thanks to the move to Unity, the performance on Steam Deck is many times better too making it an actually Verified experience.

Just don't expect lots of little updates like before, since it's a much larger game project now.

They said larger features were getting "borderline impossible" to develop with their old game engine.

That's something we've been doing in most events (since TGS 2022): hiding some of the future content for the game in plain sight, but this time it blew up online!

While the actual menu screen might never appear in game, all the new content shown in that version is scheduled to be fully developed and released in future free updates.

So here's a sneak peak of a handful among the dozens of characters and weapons that are getting developed for 2023 and beyond:

The new engine is finally out for PC, nice. That means better performance in endgame maps.

It's also out on Switch now. I'm sure this community is eager to play it on a handheld device.

Does Co-op work between the two? I own both, I'm not going to convince my wife to buy herself a Steam Deck but she might happily waste 15 mins beside me on the Switch.

It has local co-op, plug your steam deck into a TV and get a controller.

Is the new engine enabled by default? Because I have 3 options for Betas:

  • None
  • new-engine - New Engine Beta
  • public-beta - Public beta

So if I select None does it mean I'll still use the new engine?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My understanding is this engine was previously only available in beta, but now it's available to everyone. So you should be fine picking none.

[–] amenotef@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks I'll switch off the beta then!

Did they nerf anything?

Edit: doesn’t look like it

[–] Weslee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nice I just started playing again, perfect to try 100%

I have said something similar before.

Spoiler alert: people are not always up to co-op with you, so you may end up playing by yourself and not getting good use out of your dock

Tired me thought this was about Darkstalkers 3 before clicking the link.

If that's what you want, Capcom Fighting Collection works on Deck even though it's marked unsupported
