lazer is the next major update to osu!. try it out here: github.com/ppy/osu#running-osu let us know your thoughts on stuff: form-auth.ppy.sh/form/2022-th...
"Okay but when will it replace stable?" This is the wrong question, and as the lead developer not one I can answer. For those who haven't followed osu! from day one, it has been a constantly evolving project. I've never been about "releases" or "early access" or anything. osu! and lazer are something which have grown over years and will continue to grow. We will not force you to use lazer. We will continue to make it better and bring more features online until you want to use it. If you don't want to use it then you will always have the option to remain on the older version. We will continue to improve it nonetheless, and maybe one day you will decide it is where you want to be. "But I can't get pp!" Well that's just a perspective issue. osu! was not always about pp. It didn't exist for many years, and people still enjoyed playing the game. Maybe this is a good chance for you to take a step back and give lazer a try, play for a different goal which isn't seeing one specific number grow. It will arrive in the future (sooner than you may expect), so don't worry. We just want to make sure everything is solid before turning it on, because if not we could jeopardise the last decade of leaderboards and user achievements. Thanks
I’ve started from feb 2021 and I was enjoying osu lazer but after I knew the seriousness of pp the hell farming started lmao, anyways I’m here for a year using lazer and it developed so much
Yet again though this isn't to say that there wasn't a leaderboard ranking system prior to ppv1 as before ppv1 there was the ranked score leaderboard that everyone competed in. (And it still existst today!) This isn't to completely disregard your statement, many still played for fun and through playing for fun players would get rewarded through ranked score that would increase their rank and there weren't many who farmed score back then. This isn't a hate comment whatsoever and we all are thankful what you have done for the game over the pass 10+ years, going from a simple ranked score leaderboard system in 2007 to a more complex system like ppv2 that factors in a bunch of different aspects of play in 2022 is really cool to see and it shows the dedication that you have to osu, something that we all appreciate!
I know I shouldn’t be so focused on pp and stuff, but trust me as soon as a proper pp and leaderboard system is added I am moving instantly lmao. Lazer just looks too dope
Absolutely same dude it just looks so cool and much more accessible/easy access to other features of the game. Plus that opening is actually the most awesome thing
@@959_MC I played lazer for a few months before I switched to stable. Although I use stable mainly, I never saw any issues with lazer. The frame rate was problematic but that was my computer and after getting a new one I never had that problem anymore. I see lazer being better than stable already on so many aspects. I do not like how it does not update automatically or there are a lot of errors loading foreign rulesets but nearly every feature from stable is already implemented. I particularly like the consistent design, and the amazing intro screen.
This look so good!, Genuinely cannot believe something this amazing is free and open source, I'm waiting until the leaderboards and the PP System is fully implemented and I'll switch instantly!
@@glitcheseboy1238 If they had the idea that they wanted to profit off of it outside of optional purchases and merch they would've done so a long time ago.
A laser is a device that stimulates atoms or molecules to emit light at particular wavelengths and amplifies that light, typically producing a very narrow beam of radiation. The emission generally covers an extremely limited range of visible, infrared, or ultraviolet wavelengths. Many different types of lasers have been developed, with highly varied characteristics. Laser is an acronym for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.”
A technical TL;DR: lazer is a complete, open-source rewrite of the source code in the C# programming language, adding many, many features while also making the code base much easier to work with.
@@sid6645 As far as I know, it was also written in C#, but with the proprietary .NET Framework, while lazer is made with .NET (originally .NET Core; Microsoft sucks at naming things), an open source, cross-platform reimplantation.
@@SkyyySi well, they removed the core part from the bame cause nowdays, both .net core and framework are the same thing. .NET Framework stopped at the version 4.8.3 .NET Core stopped in 4.8 too, basically they merged both as they're already (for most) matched in features
The custom DT speed adjustment is game changing. From a NM/HD stamina player, I love putting maps I play on 1.2/1.3x speed so I can still be challenged with a higher bpm but not have it too hard to the point of not being passable at my level
yea same like i love playing kowari expert loser girl on like 1.1x/1.2x speed, but i have to use osu trainer to make that, because dt makes me fail it 20 seconds in
I just want doubletime to have a "pitch shift" setting, since dt has always sounded weird to me without any pitch shift. I'm pretty sure they can do it too since it's a setting in the wind up mod.
@@smun2931 Doesn't work like that, nightcore always uses the pitch from 1.5x for some reason. I meant if I customize the speed of dt, I feel like the pitch should change to accommodate.
I love playing lazer from time to time, the mods are really fun to play around with and the customisable mods make it even more fun to play. It’s like a home away from home, where I go to not worry about scores and PP, rather to sit back and have a little fun for once.
I thought Lazer was some kind of OSU 2.0 but now I realized that it's just a passion project to make the game overall better in terms of the gameplay and community and if you don't want to participate you don't have to
To simplify; it's an update, where the users themselves decide if they want to switch to it or not. The userbase decides which version is the "main" client of osu! based on active online users. Peppy will not force you to switch to it, and the goal is for it to hopefully slowly become the main client as more people switch over. It might seem confusing because most games usually force people to update to the newest version, even with stable, but this isn't how peppy wants to do things when it comes to switching over to lazer. TL;DR YOU decide if and when lazer will become the main client, not peppy and the devs.
I want to know when they will switch the main download of the client for new players to lazer, at that point I think lazer is officially the main version.
@@descai10 I think that was initially the plan, to have the update button at the bottom of the screen just download lazer. But as I've seen it, they're changing it to just be an option in the Options menu, alongside stable-fallback, beta, and cutting edge. Because like I said, peppy doesn't want to force the update onto every player, he wants the players themselves to make the decision to switch, and to make it their main client themselves But changing the download button on the main website to download lazer is coming really soon as far as I know
Actually the devs can after many years down the line. Like eventually there is a point that Fallback (2015 ver) can't submit score for map ranked after 2018. And then at some point in 2020, cant submit score, cant multiplayer and cant chat.
I stopped playing osu! a big while ago, but I always wanted to come back, because this game has a special place in my heart, just life gets in the way. Lazer will probably be the thing to bring me back
@@NotTheDAHASAG I was using windows and my computer has some performance problems with Lazer, not enough powerful to play correctly. I switched to Arch Linux for other reasons since few months, and I have to say that it runs flawlessly... don't see my comment as a promotion of Arch Linux, because it's not easy at first, but maybe it can be nice to give it a try if you're ready to do anything that not involve money to play on Lazer
Honestly, osu!lazer imho is one of the, if not the best open-source project in terms of UI/UX. Especially in the video game space. It looks incredibly polished, even more than most commercial games and programs. That does not take anything away from its other feats (to the contrary, it enhances them), but that to me is the one most noteworthy thing about it.
just the customizable double time speed makes it worth it to download, i can now play some low star songs that are too high of a bpm when dt'd with the stable version
a large majority of Lazer mods are customizable, and there's even a difficulty adjust mod (unranked) that lets you customize all the difficulty settings like AR, OD, CS, and HP drain
It still has long way to go, lazer does not support second/third tap to simulate substitute buttons. You still can use keyboard though. Also the performance is still kinda clunky on old phones even with high-end budget. Still, osu!droid is better in terms of performance and accessibility, but it should be soon later addressed.
Really nice to see a "slight puplicity push", should get out to more players though, so i hope the members of the comunity share and recommend lazer as it progresses even further
if years down the line, our current stable version still allows us to gain pp, I can definitely see a lot of people using older versions as a nostalgic trip
Or just people like me who get destroyed because of the sliders and tighter accuracy (i can't freaking perfect in Lazer anything above 2 stars and even that is a struggle)
@@ZedDevStuff Give it time, friend. Using slider heads to keep acc high is not a great way to play in higher stars, but lazer definitely breaks that unhealthy habit early! I wish I had realized this early in game because I used it as a crutch for so long!
Just finished playing for a bit, and I'm stunned. The interface, the smoothness, the accessibility, everything is top notch. Good job, your work is appreciated!
So uhm, this video finally got me to decide to try laser, since it looks like you guys are pushing for it to be the new stable eventually now. Yeah, I really don't care that there's no PP, osu laser is now my new stable. Anyone else on the fence, go get it now. It's just so much more satisfying and feature-rich than stable is. You don't even need supporter to download songs in-game and you can just browse the entire beatmap section of the website in-game, see which maps you already own and go to them, or get new maps straight into the game and play them. No draging or file opening necessary. Oh and a collections system that's way more intuitive than stable, even if it needs some more love. Also, if you're worried about getting your maps and skins back, laser will dupe and import everything in your stable folder to your laser folder as you play, and if you don't like where the game is installed, you can migrate the entire game to wherever the hell you want on your PC within the options menu without needing a wizard and it works in SECONDS. Yeah, it isn't perfect yet, laser still needs some QOL improvements to really shine. But it's already miles above what's already presented in current stable. Ditch the PP grind and go have some serious fun on laser. You won't regret it. Plus, if you're really a stickler for PP, laser tells you the maximum PP you could have acheived for your plays with the selected mods. So even if you don't play laser, you can use it to keep track of which maps you want to grind out if you swing that way and just love watching your pp count rise. Dean Herbert, thank you for being one of the best game devs out there right now, and a big thanks to everyone on that GitHub that poured their time and talents into this project that is not only completely free but also a better experience than most pay to play rhythm games out there right now. Only good things are in store for osu! fans in the following years.
@@Ohrami Well, I suppose that's why classic mod exists, so if you feel that way then the option is there for you. Though I'm really enjoying the new look, feel, and fresh set of features Lazer provides. I'm sure it's a bit of a subjective thing. Without notelock I do notice I'm lasting longer on stream maps specifically. Whether you see that as good or bad I can't say, but at least I'm practicing the skill more as a result. A lot of players from all ranks have been wanting these changes from what I've seen, so it was inevitable that they'd put them into motion. I don't play at a high enough skill level to really see these kinds of tweaks making dramatic changes to my Gameplay, so it's not as big of a deal for me. However, I realize higher ranked players like you notice these things more often and have been more vocal on whether these changes are good or bad.
Thank you. Now I finally know what lazer is. In all seriousness, I love the consistency with which lazer has been getting better over the years. Keep up the great work!
When i tried lazer for the 2nd time in a month or two i was finally able to enjoy it without fps drops, love the new mods and the clean look that it has, if it ever can give PP or leaderboard ranking i’ll switch to lazer. Also unrelated Grow and Hidden is a really fun combo y’all should try it
Super happy it's finally fully here! I still remember writing you a mail back in 2017 asking when it would release and you said "This year". Well you were right, but this full release was what I had in mind :D I've long since quit the game, but might give it another go with all these new features! Thanks so much for the many years of dedication to make this game the best it can be. I truly appreciate it ❤
Nice! Got a question, though. In Osu Lazer, are you going to implement a practice mode? Playback speed is great, but I was wondering if we're going to be able to start playing from an specific part of the map.
@@totally_not_a_bot Yes, I know that you can use that in the current build but it sucks that it doesn't have a proper practice mode like, let's say, Beat Saber, where you can actually practice from an specific point at an specific speed playback.
lazer is great from my usage over the past month or so (given that I'm on Linux and can't install stable easily). missing the workflow of the stable editor a lot but that'll come in time for sure. great job peppy and osu team! :)
I will give it another shot, last time I try it was having problems with performance, if there's no problem now I will 100% change to lazer, maybe to try std more or to improve on mania without caring about pp. Also, it really looks good
i really really like lazer version, it's easy to learn to play taiko on lazer compared to osu, it's so refreshing with cool UI animations. i dont really care i don't get pp on lazer, i still enjoy it.
I love it's features and "Wind Up" mod is literally the most fun I had playing osu! I'm using it from time to time. Can wait for it to have PP and leaderboards. This will be the best update any game ever had.
I've played lazer for like two weeks now and I have to say: aside from there being no pp (which i personally don't care about) EVERYTHING is better than standard. I have like 0ms latency, whereas in standard i would get 8-9ms and that is such a huge difference. It feels fresh, it feels new and everyone who plays the game should at least give it a try.
@@TOP1GUSION i haven't found any unpassable maps. I think the only huge difference in gameplay are lack of noteblock and slider accuracy so i doubt that would affect the possibility of passing some maps. Sometimes some minor bugs occur but that's no big deal so i recommend you try it for yourself and have fun!
My only problem with lazer is the performance issues. I had a pretty fun time with lazer and I hope that the performance issues will be resolved in the near future.
i switched to lazer 2 days ago and never encountered that kind of issue. my friend in a ultra low spec pc that barely runs stable and he also got improvements
It's a completely new version of OSU that can do everything original osu could do and more. It will replace current OSU as the default version of the game soon™
@@olcatgaming859 lazer is way better now than in 2018, you can gain ranked score from maps and it's just a lot more stable. when you can gain pp in it i'm 100% switching
Both. Like said in the video, they'll stay parallel as separate release streams for a while, but it's going to replace the current stable build at some point down the line.
When I tried lazer once I totally disliked how animations playing in the Menu interface (Ie. fading animations etc.) made general navigation "feel" slower somehow, but that was about more than a year ago, judging by the video it seems to look a lot more smooth now, I really should redownload it and try it again actually, its really been a while... Also just seeing how far the development actually has come in general is really impressive!
that's completely up to you, you can switch to lazer today or in 2 years. as has been mentioned in the video, you won't be forced to switch away from stable.
@@janmalicek6914 Bruh you don't get the question. What they meant was...when will you be able to submit scores and earn pp? That's when it truly replaces stable.
@@janmalicek6914 it wont because scores i set on stable are kept, recorded and are inherently worth something; i play to have my scores on leaderboards and lazer as it is now can no way replace stable for me
Can you add a rank filter in multi, I don’t wanna play with 7 digits or 6 digits, and it clutters up trying to find a good lobby because the community is in a bad state of what maps are being echoed/spammed around as well as the automatic bot lobbies having the most repetitive players that play the same map over and over and over and over and over again
As much as I love the features present in lazer, my current pc setup just can't handle the game. I'm really happy to hear that the old client will be around for the foreseeable future, as the struggle of getting pc parts in a third world country would probably force me out of the game.
Osu! Lazer should be able to run on most systems? I believe it's more optimized than stable, albeit a little more buggy. If you're having problems try tweaking the settings a bit. Might have to do with your CPU or GPU related settings in the game if you're trying to run the game in a manner your hardware doesn't support well.
Just having seen osu! lazer in development for years makes and knowing it has made progress makes me feel like just seeing this video is so surreal and it even my heart melt (Even though I’ve just been a spectator)
bro if they don't add PP or something like that to lazer then no way I'll play it, I like it but nah that's literally why I play the game, to get better so I can see the PP go higher
If you're really that hungry for PP Lazer tells you the max pp you could achieve for your plays based on selected mods. So you can find maps to farm via Lazer and play on stable. Though I'd recommend kicking back and enjoying Lazer for a bit, you'll burn yourself out quickly if all you're focused on is the PP/improvement grind. I've been there before.
@@Koubles I've been there before too, I left the game for a couple of months some times, but now I don't play farm maps anymore so I don't get burnt out that easy, like, I'm trying to get to a point where I can get scores with PP close to my top play without playing farm maps, and it's a loooong grind tbf xD
"Okay but when will it replace stable?"
This is the wrong question, and as the lead developer not one I can answer. For those who haven't followed osu! from day one, it has been a constantly evolving project.

lazer looks way too dope, nearly cried for how much of a game changer and quality of life update it is
Imagine crying over a dumb circle clicking game. Touch grass nerd.
1:28 this will be the downfall of my carrier
literally same. this is gonna be my kryptonite
So uhm, this video finally got me to decide to try laser, since it looks like you guys are pushing for it to be the new stable eventually now.
Yeah, I really don't care that there's no PP, osu laser is now my new stable. Anyone else on the fence, go get it now. It's just so much more satisfying and feature-rich than stable is. You don't even need supporter to download songs in-game and you can just browse the entire beatmap section of the website in-game, see which maps you already own and go to them, or get new maps straight into the game and play them. No draging or file opening necessary. Oh and a collections system that's way more intuitive than stable, even if it needs some more love.
Also, if you're worried about getting your maps and skins back, laser will dupe and import everything in your stable folder to your laser folder as you play, and if you don't like where the game is installed, you can migrate the entire game to wherever the hell you want on your PC within the options menu without needing a wizard and it works in SECONDS.
Yeah, it isn't perfect yet, laser still needs some QOL improvements to really shine. But it's already miles above what's already presented in current stable. Ditch the PP grind and go have some serious fun on laser. You won't regret it. Plus, if you're really a stickler for PP, laser tells you the maximum PP you could have acheived for your plays with the selected mods. So even if you don't play laser, you can use it to keep track of which maps you want to grind out if you swing that way and just love watching your pp count rise.
Dean Herbert, thank you for being one of the best game devs out there right now, and a big thanks to everyone on that GitHub that poured their time and talents into this project that is not only completely free but also a better experience than most pay to play rhythm games out there right now. Only good things are in store for osu! fans in the following years.
thanks for giving it a shot!
Wait the fact that it automatically transfers beatmaps and skins is amazing, might actually get it now
It's worse and note lock/slider accuracy are inherent features of the game that don't need fixing
@@Ohrami Well, I suppose that's why classic mod exists, so if you feel that way then the option is there for you. Though I'm really enjoying the new look, feel, and fresh set of features Lazer provides.
I'm sure it's a bit of a subjective thing. Without notelock I do notice I'm lasting longer on stream maps specifically. Whether you see that as good or bad I can't say, but at least I'm practicing the skill more as a result. A lot of players from all ranks have been wanting these changes from what I've seen, so it was inevitable that they'd put them into motion. I don't play at a high enough skill level to really see these kinds of tweaks making dramatic changes to my Gameplay, so it's not as big of a deal for me. However, I realize higher ranked players like you notice these things more often and have been more vocal on whether these changes are good or bad.
I was already convinced by the video but your comment convinced me even more. Im gonna switch to lazer thanks to you
I love osu!lazer, the new mods, the interface, the built-in drivers, makes it amazing.
I need someone to create a 3 hour video covering every single new feature in this game because God there are one too many.
took you long enough Kappa. Was nice to see it grow from a concept to what it is now
might want to get back into osu after so much times. Looks refreshing
holy moly, an official video.
Ikr, can't believe it myself
I’m so excited! Thanks!
Thank you. Now I finally know what lazer is.
In all seriousness, I love the consistency with which lazer has been getting better over the years. Keep up the great work!
This is the future of my favourite game and I can't wait to see it in a completly redesigned look!
Lazer looks so promising!
When i tried lazer for the 2nd time in a month or two i was finally able to enjoy it without fps drops, love the new mods and the clean look that it has, if it ever can give PP or leaderboard ranking i’ll switch to lazer. Also unrelated Grow and Hidden is a really fun combo y’all should try it
Super happy it's finally fully here!
I still remember writing you a mail back in 2017 asking when it would release and you said "This year". Well you were right, but this full release was what I had in mind :D
I've long since quit the game, but might give it another go with all these new features!
Thanks so much for the many years of dedication to make this game the best it can be. I truly appreciate it ❤
what is osu!Lazer in 2023 ? :
its super optimize than before and also so many changes . highly recomended :
( mania skin argon still hard to use it )
Nice! Got a question, though. In Osu Lazer, are you going to implement a practice mode? Playback speed is great, but I was wondering if we're going to be able to start playing from an specific part of the map.
In the editor, seek to a particular point, add a bookmark, click test, profit.
@@totally_not_a_bot Yes, I know that you can use that in the current build but it sucks that it doesn't have a proper practice mode like, let's say, Beat Saber, where you can actually practice from an specific point at an specific speed playback.
lazer is great from my usage over the past month or so (given that I'm on Linux and can't install stable easily). missing the workflow of the stable editor a lot but that'll come in time for sure. great job peppy and osu team! :)
I absolutely love lazar and will be greatly looking forward to what is come, excited to see what the future brings for osu!
I've already been playing Lazer more often than stable for a while, I can't wait for the optional update!!
I will give it another shot, last time I try it was having problems with performance, if there's no problem now I will 100% change to lazer, maybe to try std more or to improve on mania without caring about pp.
Also, it really looks good
1:13 And Half Time can actually be half time! It would be nice if it could go down to 0.01, it would be useful for learning harder maps.
Just discovered Lazer after some years away from Osu!Mania. This update is so great, you guys are the best!!! I already love it... Thank you 🥰
damn insanely nice work!
i really really like lazer version, it's easy to learn to play taiko on lazer compared to osu, it's so refreshing with cool UI animations. i dont really care i don't get pp on lazer, i still enjoy it.
I've been an exclusive osu!lazer player for almost a year now. I started my osu! journey with it. It's great. :D
That was the most straight forward video that i have ever watched
im really excited about this man
Damn osu! finally remembered they had a youtube account
I love it's features and "Wind Up" mod is literally the most fun I had playing osu! I'm using it from time to time. Can wait for it to have PP and leaderboards. This will be the best update any game ever had.
theres leaderboards already
Thanks peppy i love you for fixing long notes on mania..well its gonna be easier now and im really happy about the unlimited people in multiplayer 😍😍
I like you the start is just staright up “its this”
I've played lazer for like two weeks now and I have to say: aside from there being no pp (which i personally don't care about) EVERYTHING is better than standard. I have like 0ms latency, whereas in standard i would get 8-9ms and that is such a huge difference. It feels fresh, it feels new and everyone who plays the game should at least give it a try.
question did u find some maps unwinnable compared to playing it on stable? some difficulty levels are also shuffled it's confusing
@@TOP1GUSION i haven't found any unpassable maps. I think the only huge difference in gameplay are lack of noteblock and slider accuracy so i doubt that would affect the possibility of passing some maps. Sometimes some minor bugs occur but that's no big deal so i recommend you try it for yourself and have fun!
lets goooooo lazer finally getting more exposure
LETS GO
Great video about this great game. Love Lazer!
thank you pishifat. glad to know your alive
My only problem with lazer is the performance issues. I had a pretty fun time with lazer and I hope that the performance issues will be resolved in the near future.
Yeah i had the same issue which is Frame Stuttering
i switched to lazer 2 days ago and never encountered that kind of issue. my friend in a ultra low spec pc that barely runs stable and he also got improvements
@@Dicaso9 really? Mine became worse and I'm also running with a low-spec pc so i switched back to stable until lazer is fixed.
@@Dicaso9 low end pcs tends to stutter a lot with lazer
Is lazer osu's new update or osu lazer is a distinct and advanced version of osu!?
It's a completely new version of OSU that can do everything original osu could do and more. It will replace current OSU as the default version of the game soon™
@@sinom "soon", i've heard that at the end of 2018 b4
@@olcatgaming859 lazer is way better now than in 2018, you can gain ranked score from maps and it's just a lot more stable. when you can gain pp in it i'm 100% switching
Both. Like said in the video, they'll stay parallel as separate release streams for a while, but it's going to replace the current stable build at some point down the line.
Wahhh Im so hyped xD The new features look so fun to play with, especially the mass multiplayer one :V
I love the custom modes on it and how a taiko map can work on mania, etc
When I tried lazer once I totally disliked how animations playing in the Menu interface (Ie. fading animations etc.) made general navigation "feel" slower somehow, but that was about more than a year ago, judging by the video it seems to look a lot more smooth now, I really should redownload it and try it again actually, its really been a while...
Also just seeing how far the development actually has come in general is really impressive!
I've been playing lazer since August, stable now feels archaic and I prefer lazer
beginning is all you need
Woah this looks sick!!! Cant wait to play it!!!
wysi
They're actually dropping osu! 2 boiiiiis!
hi sczer
@@suipissosu hi
Congrats on the continued development. Great to see all of the new features and support that lazer has. Keep up the great work everyone!
Still remember cavoes when peppy came over on like the last day and held a presentation he made IN osu lazer. Great day
Уже представляю как мой комп будет дымится
It is currently far smoother than before hopefully they will make it more smoother.
okay released is the wrong question, when will it replace stable in everything?
that's completely up to you, you can switch to lazer today or in 2 years. as has been mentioned in the video, you won't be forced to switch away from stable.
@@janmalicek6914 Isn't this *comment* supposed to be ironic
@@janmalicek6914 Bruh you don't get the question. What they meant was...when will you be able to submit scores and earn pp? That's when it truly replaces stable.
@@janmalicek6914 it wont because scores i set on stable are kept, recorded and are inherently worth something; i play to have my scores on leaderboards and lazer as it is now can no way replace stable for me
read peppys comment
Man i'm so excited when this is finished
Im so happy to see that Cysmix's menu theme is still sticking, i love that song.
Can you add a rank filter in multi, I don’t wanna play with 7 digits or 6 digits, and it clutters up trying to find a good lobby because the community is in a bad state of what maps are being echoed/spammed around as well as the automatic bot lobbies having the most repetitive players that play the same map over and over and over and over and over again
As much as I love the features present in lazer, my current pc setup just can't handle the game. I'm really happy to hear that the old client will be around for the foreseeable future, as the struggle of getting pc parts in a third world country would probably force me out of the game.
don’t worry it will run on your current hardware, as long as you can run windows 10+
What is your hardware?
Osu! Lazer should be able to run on most systems? I believe it's more optimized than stable, albeit a little more buggy. If you're having problems try tweaking the settings a bit. Might have to do with your CPU or GPU related settings in the game if you're trying to run the game in a manner your hardware doesn't support well.
i half expected this video to just be that intro sequence
Just having seen osu! lazer in development for years makes and knowing it has made progress makes me feel like just seeing this video is so surreal and it even my heart melt (Even though I’ve just been a spectator)
bro if they don't add PP or something like that to lazer then no way I'll play it, I like it but nah that's literally why I play the game, to get better so I can see the PP go higher
If you're really that hungry for PP Lazer tells you the max pp you could achieve for your plays based on selected mods.
So you can find maps to farm via Lazer and play on stable. Though I'd recommend kicking back and enjoying Lazer for a bit, you'll burn yourself out quickly if all you're focused on is the PP/improvement grind. I've been there before.
@@Koubles I've been there before too, I left the game for a couple of months some times, but now I don't play farm maps anymore so I don't get burnt out that easy, like, I'm trying to get to a point where I can get scores with PP close to my top play without playing farm maps, and it's a loooong grind tbf xD
So many gay people on Osu always talking about pps.
Uhh.. ...
what size is your guys pp
mines about 17"
mine 6.7", yours is very big@@slackreal
this is amazing!
Thank you so much for making this. In order to honour this, i will start playing osu again.
Isn't it illegal to be this awesome? >:O
What a time to return to osu!
Currently using osu!lazer and oh boy, I already fall in love with it.
this guys voice
*tutorial flashback plays*
thank you 🙏
for everything
I've been playing on laser since 2017, and the evolution of updates has been amazing. come to the laser!!!
Been playing for a few months causally and I didn't know about lazer. Gotta try it out asap
1 year ago i started playing lazer for fun and i still play it when im bored
Yo neat, I'll probably get back into osu once everything is figured out.
Lazer is something to admire. I've never felt so awed with a new ui and gameplay. It's a really fun experience.
MHHH THE LAUNCHING SOUND N' ANIMATION OF OSU LAZER : perfect
It looks so clean, sheeesh
Itll never replace Stable. Itll just be a natural progression of amazingness
The "See you next time" at the end is so satisfying to hear idk why
I wasn't disappointed when I saw the revamped key thing (it shows what you pressed basically) in Lazer!
pretty cool, i love it
Why is it so like oddly relaxing but also weird to hear your voice in a Video and not in the OSU game for the first thing I played XD
