BeamNG is officially Steam Deck Certified "Playable"

I mean NASCAR Heat was ported to the switch and it runs pretty good

 

This game is nowhere near as demanding as BeamNG is

 

It has 40 AI cars on the track that have to determine factors such as what line to take and when to pit and there is also damage physics

 

Besides all the other stuff mentioned, how would BeamNG even get the money to do this? A Switch game has to be certified by Nintendo, and an Xbox game has to be certified by Microsoft. That costs money. They would also have to learn to convert all the game code. Guess what it takes to do that? Employees that need to be paid at least 1500 Euros (or equivalent) a month. Not happening any time soon

 

Just thinkin out loud here I'm not at all expecting that to happen anytime soon

 

Now go add dynamic AI, a physics skeleton which can deform individual parts of the vehicle in real time, physics which refresh 2000 times per second, a game engine which wasn't made with anything other than PC's or Windows in mind & try to run it on ARM

 

You just described Nascar heat

 

I would barely call that NASCAR Heat. Its way easier for those developers, as well. Those games were made by reputable developers who have released many games over numerous platforms. BeamNG has made one game on one platform that is not even out of Alpha yet. You haven't even made a mod for the game and you are talking about how easy it is to port the game to a platform it wasn't designed for.

OT: Steam Deck with BeamNG is something that I have been waiting for for a long time. Way to go BeamNG!

 

When did I ever say it was easy to port a game.
OT: My ear is stopped up and ringing and I swear to god it's driving me nuts

 

You never explicitly said it, you have strongly suggested. If you are asking to port a game, you obviously assume it is easy. It has gotten so bad with port requests that they put it on their faq.

 

I'm not implying that it's easy I'm just thinking out loud

 

The physics system in that game is 1/100th of what it is in beamng
--- Post updated ---

Take years to port the entire game, stopping all updates and development for basically no payoff. The same people begging for a port would be complaining about lack of content updates

 

Lol no, none of what he said is in nascar heat. All the AI knows to do in heat is drive on a track, while beamng's ai must also account for street driving, and all types of cars.

 

I

They must know when to pit and take in to account whether or not you've raced them dirty in the past

 

"This game's default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck" I wonder how well?

 

It's not even close to the physics calculations of beamng.

 

There's damage physics

 

They can but they won't. Has been said literally thousands of times before and it's not going to change until after BeamNG's fully released.

 

ik ik I just like to fantasize sometimes. I mean don't we all?
