As in - you dogfight as the AI sends you to conquer a nearby star?

The AI do everything a player do at sins of solar empire, but players can the soldiers inside spaceships that were built by the AI.
If no player(s) are controlling the spaceship, the ai does that for them like at sins of solar empire normal game. But you can jump into a soldier inside an ship and start to control him (and so the ship).

Open world games in general do seem lack that feeling of a real living world. Like, you might have NPCs walking through their scripts and shops only being open at certain hours and certain days, but the world overall is static. No armies are moving, no diplomacy is occurring, disruption of trade doesn't affect availability of goods.

Some space sims touch on these a little, but whether they succeed or not is debatable. X3 is an obvious example, but it's more of an economic simulation than a political one. Without mods, borders and system ownership remains rigid. I don't know any games that focus on a terrestrial setting that does even as much as X3, given they mostly focus on survival over simulation. (Though, to be sure, I don't really play a lot of open world simulators.) I guess M&B? Kenshi?

An open world game where you live in a constantly shifting world would be amazing. I’d play it even if graphics are sacrificed for better simulation. Sometimes games focus more on graphics than mechanics which leads to a laggy game similar to many others

[Mephansteras]

Mount and Blade does a decent job, though not amazing. But the shifting ownership of lands is a pretty core part of the game, and the economy of various villages and towns does change depending on the state the world.

Arma 3 with at least 144 fps. the game it self can be exactly as it is but the engine and reduced physics should provide stable 144 fps. at least. Even with perfect system power, games can drop easy to 40fps. you have to get used to that.

[LordBaal]

Do human eye even sees a difference over 60fps?

[Vivalas]

I've always been confused by the 144fps thing. I don't tend to play very graphical games so I thought it was a joke when someone talked about 144fps on a steam forum I was reading through.

Like, Arma 3 is already such a performance mess: I used to play it on a rig that got like 30fps, then upgraded and get like 40-50 tops, and the thought of just getting 60fps is so enticing that 144fps seems like something you would need a supercomputer to do.

I've heard people talk about 144Hz monitors making everything else seem like garbage but whenever a game runs at 60 FPS for me it already feels so smooth that it's hard for me to imagine what 144 would be like.

[LordBaal]

I have probably never seen a video game over 24 or 30 fps, Dwarf Fortress (at the start of a new game) not withstanding. The only thing I have seen over that was Elysium and Avengers at 60 frames per second once in somebody else's tv and found it kind of dizzying how much smooth the movement was, it was really beautiful never the less.

[Mathel]

I have seen 60fps video on youtube, and it is smoother than regular (30fps?) video. At least on my computer. On my tablet, it is significantly worse, probably because the tablet is not 60fps capable.

[FantasticDorf]

I can now write off Company of Heroes 3 off this list, but the trailer seems pretty dissapointing apart from early gameplay set aside from some flashy parts like Nebelwerfers & British Commando's throwing knives. Hopefully another year in development can be "Ardennes Assault":'The Game' and hopefully fun to play.

Careful what you wish for Urist's, you might just get it.

[Mephansteras]

That looks like a classic example of a lot of potential that probably won't be lived up to.

[LordBaal]

Well, at least it seems they are adding a strategic overlay for the campaign, or a free campaign or whatever, that seems interesting.

I've always been confused by the 144fps thing.

IDK about graphical FPS, but it at least makes a difference for mouse movement.

A first-person RPG, except with a Mario 3 level of graphics detail. Probably different graphical assets, but that kind of cartoony simplicity.
