Ofcourse i'm joking :D i only wanted to show that the name and the idea and some parts look a like but thats impossible to avoid i guess cause Pillars also looks like old games we played in the past and almost anything, if not anything has already been done by developers so developing a unique game that doesnt look like anything we have seen before is impossible.

I used to have xp and win7 i always kept one OS while 'learning' to work with the new one

first win 95, win98se, lateron win2K, and XP installation, lateron XP and win7... now win7 is the last man standing

the of the win OS are inferior .... including horrible win 10

Windows 10 cuts into anything: hands, people, budget, games ( 90% wont work) sends home information (need 3rd party tools to tamper its phoning home) win 10 is discusting in a way.

That 8 £ is a fund towards buying a controller.. About 1/4th of a controller that is.. :)
Or shitty regional pricing, you choose.

Since it seems obvious that most don't know how Windows compatibility works. unless differentiated by specific DirectX support. You can use these two simple rules to know if it works on a past Windows OS:

If it states it supports Windows 7, it will actually work on Vista.
If it states it supports Windows 8, it will work on Windows 7.

Support in the terms of game compatibility is about the dev willing to attend complains about it not working in a specific OS. Not about the game working or not working in an OS.

I would say that it is not going to work in crossplay with PS4. As Sony does not allows cross-play with stuff that also works in Xbox Live. So, either the devs put that in there just because it worked while they were developing it. Or think that Sony will not catch on with it having that cross-play. So, if it works, you can expect it to be removed once Sony notices it.

On the game: Looks great. seems to play great. But, I find the minimum requirements to be insane for what the game is. But since it was developed in Unity. I can bet that is because they didn't took the time to actually optimize it. Best example of badly optimized games for what they are? Oxenfree and Virginia. Best example of well optimized unity games? Cuphead, Night in the woods and Firewatch. Will still give it a try since it is such a data light game.

About Win 7 support, regardless of personal preferences and opinions, I wonder if the Dev can afford to neglect such a popular OS? Microsoft can get away with it, with their own Windows 10 exclusive games, but a small Indie developer? They're going to miss out on a lot of potential sales. Feels a bit like it was primarily intended as a console game, and they're just doing a minimum effort PC release.

Lack of mouse & keyboard support is a non-issue to me. Why do you guys want to play a racing game without some kind of game pad or steering wheel? I mean, most racing games provide that option, but controls for steering, acceleration and brakes are quite frankly crap without analogue input. Mouse & keyboard for a racing game is like trying to play Counterstrike with a gamepad.

More importantly, is this any good as a single-player game or is it entirely designed as a multi-player game? How much content is there? Roughly 30 bucks seems like a lot, especially considering the small file size. Looks like it might be a very basic game, and the price is only bloated due to being a multi-platform/ console game?

:P

Because people who buy a gamepad will only ever play one game with it. /s The rest of us avoid awkward finger acrobatics by playing with more appropriate tools.

My point was that if someone plays with a keyboard and mouse all the time, buying a gamepad just to be able to play this game would be a waste.

Oh yeah... this happened some weeks ago for me, too; saw that new Maelstrom game and thought "hey, that's a new version of the old "classic" one"?

Nay. Whay a mish mash ;P

According to Steam, Windows 10 64-bit is 53% of their users, Windows 7 64-bit is 36%. Next most common i is Windows 8.1 64-bit at 4%.

So yeah, I think 'most Windows gamers use 10' is a pretty fair statement. Most Asian gamers seem to use phones and consoles. not PCs.

Edit: And a lot of Japanese phone games only run in portrait, which drives me batty. Dragon Quest 8? Great! Portrait only? What the heck?

Saying everyone on Android classifies as gamer is quite a stretch. It has only been since this year that they now have got PC and Console class games with the latest Lineage and of course Fornite and PUBG. But other than that. It is quite a stretch to call them gamer in a 1 to 1 comparison with Consoles or PC's. Even with the Nintendo Switch.

On Windows 7 still being the main OS. Yes, in general that is true as seen on netmarketshare. But, I think that Steam is the leading indicator on gamers. However, it is still a fair statement to say that Windows 7 is still on top. However. Given the trend of change in 2018. By the end of the year that will no longer be true even when seen in term of general OS statistics.

If the game uses a analogue controller mode, requiring the use of such a controller would seem logical to me.
If the mode used is digital ,the devs don' t have any excuse for not providing proper keyboard support for a PC game imho..

Lack of Windows 7 support seems a bit strange, but I can live with that, being primarily a Linux user.
What I am worried about is the statement "every time you start the game, the track will be unique" I don' t hope they are referring to RNG track generation. If that' s the case, I' ll pass. There is a reason why most racing tracks in real life are meticulously designed. And it makes it useless to practice a track/

I don' t like the graphics. Too garish for my taste, but that is a matter of personal taste.
The game mechanic of leaving a boost trail for your partner sounds like a lot of fun though.

I imagine that part to be due to the 'painting' of the track with the different colors, which gives you boost if you drive over it. Pretty hard to paint it the same every race, therefore its unique ;) .

Aye, could be, but I' m waiting on reviews for this one (and a bit of a price drop) before I buy it.

for a moment there I thought gOg got Trailmakers...
