![]() ![]() That particular feature hasn’t been supported in quite some time given we’re two console generations away from then, but it’s sad not to see it return here. In addition to hooking my young, impressionable mind onto PC gaming, logging into my new Steam account on PS3 allowed me to play online with friends regardless of platform. Back when I first bought the game on PS3, a physical copy came with a digital download code on Steam. My other issue is also within Portal 2, (so I guess that makes the first game flawless) and it’s the fact that online multiplayer no longer has cross play. It was an understandable concession back on PS3 and Xbox 360, but playing this right alongside Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which has very short load times between massive open world areas, it can feel a little frustrating. ![]() They’re not terribly long on Switch, but not as fast as I would like given how many there are. Portal 2 has a LOT of loading screens, between almost every test chamber, and they really bog down the pace. It did take a few more trips to get the motion controls to feel just right, but once I did it felt like I had just as much range and precision as a mouse and keyboard – which is saying something because I’ve played both several times on PC.Īs close to perfection as these games are, they do have a few issues and by a few I mean two. ![]() I did find the default layout a little weird, with A being jump and X being interact, but a single trip to the menu sorted that out. In addition to including all released content such as the developer commentary, bonus levels, and ads and trailers, both games include optional motion aiming and full button remapping. So, if the games themselves have aged like fine wine, how do they play on Switch? Well, I’m glad you asked me, because it’s better than ever before on console! In single player, both games run at a flawless 60 frames per second, with 2’s co-op mode decreasing that to 30 if you’re both on the same system. Frankly, the fact that you get both for only $20 on the eShop makes this one of the best deals in gaming. Even after hearing these lines repeated ad nauseum over the years, experiencing them in context again feels just like the first time. The story and humor are likewise a huge step up, getting to “The Part Where He Kills You” never fails to get a laugh out of me, and even then, the first is still absolutely hilarious. Playing one after the other feels like a natural progression, emphasized by the sequel’s first few puzzles taking place in the same starting area as the original, though now in ruins. Portal 1 mostly has you moving yourself, cubes, and deadly turrets through portals but 2 ups the ante with lasers, light bridges, bouncy goo, and more. The puzzles increase in complexity as you go, especially in 2’s multiplayer, but that incredibly satisfying “aha!” moment is never too far around the next corner. One of the most common things you’ll be doing with portals is making speedy thing go in so speedy thing come out, for example setting up an infinite fall so you can gain momentum, then launching yourself by moving one of the portals somewhere else. It’s a very simple concept and only takes a few seconds to understand, but there are infinitely creative ways to use it so much so that I think even with two full games Valve has only scratched the surface. Simply shoot one color at a white surface then the opposing color at another and presto – you can walk through one and out the other. If you are somehow unfamiliar, Portal is a first person puzzle game in which you complete test chambers in the Aperture Science facility using a gun that allows you to connect two points in space. So, does Portal hold up? Or should the cake have remained a fabrication? It was a nice surprise then to see a collection of the two games release on Switch, especially seeing as Nintendo fans missed out on the originals. The impact Valve has made here can be felt throughout the entire game industry and some of the culture at large. Heck, you probably know the phrase “the cake is a lie” even if you’ve been living under a rock. You already know Portal and Portal 2 are two of the best games ever made. ![]() Customarily, after getting the UE qualification, students with an academic or sporting bent would stay on at high school for another year in order to study for national scholarship exams and/or play for the schools' elite sporting teams. At the end of 1957, when I was 16, I decided to leave school and go to the University of Auckland to study anthropology. The connections I made in the course of that year pretty much determined the direction of the rest of my life. There I played quite a lot of sport and did English, French, History and Geography for University Entrance (UE) exams, and taught myself a bit of German on the side.ġ958 was a watershed year. High school years, from 1954 to 1957, were more stable-I went to Napier Boys High, on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. ![]() My mother's profession as a high school teacher took her to many places and I attended about 12 different primary schools, chiefly in her home state of Tasmania and in New Zealand. I did not meet my father again till I was 33 for most of his career as an agricultural economist he was based in Rome. My parents, both graduates of the University of Sydney, separated when I was two. I was born in Sydney but had a mobile childhood. I also owe a huge debt to my wife, Medina, who has managed family and job during my frequent lengthy absences on fieldwork and has spent years hosting speakers of Pacific Island languages who have come to live with us. I've been very fortunate in having mentors and colleagues who provided inspiration and opportunities at various key points. ![]() Other bits have to do with such matters as the role of speech formulae in nativelike command of a language, short term memory constraints on encoding speech, Australian Vernacular English, English rhyming compounds, cricket commentaries, ethnobiology, and the craft of lexicography. I've had a fairly complicated career, in that I've taught at universities in several different countries and done research on quite a diverse range of topics (1) A large part of my research and teaching has been concerned with the description and historical development of Austronesian and Papuan languages (which together number about 2000, or almost a third of the world's languages) and with what linguistics and other disciplines can tell us about the history of human settlement in the Pacific. ![]() The players with the help of a custom cargo feature can get a bonus along with the DLC package which is a customizable paint job.Ĭabin accessories are considered to be one of the interesting features as they helped the player to choose the accessories for the trucks such as bobbleheads, banners, pennants, fuzzy dice, and portable navigator.

It shows an absolute boatload of differences to the final game, some of which still remain in the game's demo. It was online for less than 24 hours before it was taken down by Criterion, due to the possible legal implications of the game having a rather similar name to Eidos Interactive's then-upcoming racer, Crash and Burn (which was, ironically, very similar to the Burnout games). For example, the Cutting Corners trailer clearly uses an earlier build of the game than the demo release, despite the former's release postdating the latter by two days.īurnout 3's first trailer, which is also the first-ever video footage of the game, was released on April 3rd, 2004. ![]() For this reason, their release dates cannot be considered an accurate chronological representation of the game's development. Something to note about the trailers released for the game is that the gameplay featured in them is days or even weeks older than the trailer's release date (or in the Crash + Burn trailer's case, at least a month and a half for certain snippets). Environment lighting is much duller and less stylized-looking than later builds.All driving stunts (such as drifts and near misses) are displayed in the HUD in the same way as in Burnout 2, using a counter for chained near misses, feet for oncoming etc., instead of the star ratings used in the final game.This is due to manual transmission having been a player-selectable option akin to Burnout 1 and 2 the feature was cut for unknown reasons around late April. A tachometer and transmission indicator are present as HUD elements.The boost bar in question is more similar in appearance to Burnout 2's, gaining a fiery appearance when in use and staying a neutral color (in this case blue) when not boosting.Aside from the boost bar, it's almost identical to the one used in the game's demo. The car's chassis was also capable of folding vertically in this phase of development.The late-April builds, including the pre-release demo, use a combination of the two deformation behaviors due to this being around the time the damage modeling was starting to be overhauled.Car deformation was completely different, incorporating chassis crumpling akin to Burnout Revenge as opposed to the bending/stretching of Burnout 3's final version.The game's demo confirms the mechanic was present during this time. While this mechanic can be seen in action in the E3 2004 build, its existence during this phase was unknown for quite some time as Road Rage was never shown in promotional footage. Road Rage originally allowed the player to total rivals and eliminate them from the event after doing so, a new car would spawn in the place of the eliminated one.Pursuit Mode has been scrapped new gamemode Road Rage has been implemented in its place. ![]() All the 's you see in the armor lists indicate that a change was applied so all the armor values behind the belong to the past and previous patch versions. If you look at Magic damage, first it was 100%, so a Guardian would take normal damage from it, but with heavy armor, it only takes 20% or 1/5th of the damage dealt, making it survive 5 times longer than a normal Guardian, so if you are only facing units dealing magic damage (happens very rarely, unless you're vs Silverthorn archers alone), you practically have 5 normal guardians all in 1. Let's have a look at a Guardian's Heavy Armor:Īs you can see, if you compare this armor list to the normal one, that a lot of the values are a lot lower. Most armor values are halfed, but some are divided by 5, making that unit very resistant. Heavy Armor: A lot of units in this game can get Heavy Armor as an upgrade, which greatly improves a units armor. So if a unit deals uruk damage, and it doesn't have a replacement damage type (damagefx), it'll turn to default. A sidenote, default is for all non-specified damage types so if a weapon doesn't have a damage type or a damagefx type (Extra damage type, replaces the normal damage type if that isn't listed), the damage type will be default. If you want to know what units deal what sort of damage type, you'll have to use Weapon.ini which I will talk about later on. A simple formula for how to calculate the damage taken is: Dt = Dd x (Av/100) So if your Guardian gets attacked by a hero who deals 200 damage per hit, the Guardian takes 400 damage, cause 200 x 2 = 400. A 200% armor value indicates that that unit takes twice as much damage from that damage type. ini files:Įach damage type is mentioned and how much damage is taken from that specific damage type in percentages. Here's how a Guardian's armor looks in the. Each armor type has a list of armor values under it, so say if you were looking for the stats of a Guardian, scroll down to the Dwarven Armor section and look for Guardian.
