And who will provide that HQ software? Oculus at least financially supports projects so devs are going to them because it is safer to get some/all money in advance. Launching software on new platform is extremely risky and that is why you don't see big publishers doing VR (Except Sony but even they are doing smaller projects). Valve with one game could sell significant numbers of Vives that would then give more reason to other devs to go and do games/apps for VR.

Valve with one game could sell significant numbers of Vives that would then give more reason to other devs to go and do games/apps for VR.
The spread of their API all but guarantees that most VR games will be on the Vive, and there's already a fuck ton of devs making VR games . Support for Vive is very much guaranteed.
They also, once again, dont need a HL3 to sell Vives. For the time being, its a niche enthusiast market, and the numbers are ajustes accordingly. I have no doubt Valve will sell through most of the Vives they produce this year. They don't care about making it a super fad out of the bat: they are in for the long run.
But then you'd would have the Vive brand dependant of that one product.
There's already VR stuff on steam, more will come. It's about the hardware/software and price of the product, not the other product you'll use it for.
That VR devices have become separate platforms unto themselves is disappointing but not unexpected. Valve's goal with SteamVR was to unite everything under the one SDK so developers wouldn't have to target each device individually, but it requires cooperation that's clearly not going to happen.

Cooperation in the tech world?
Thems some pipe dreams.

Frozen Synapse tournament to celebrate the FS2 announcement

Maybe its a good enough reason for some of you to finally pull the game from your backlog.

chrome bookmark sync + Lastpass password manager + dropbox for documents.
So easy to start over if needed I rarely bother imaging my computer anymore - just start over.
Need to check out ninite though - would be cool if you could build your own custom list of apps as you install them, and then save an 'install list' online somewhere so you could execute that.
In before free with Gleam.io in less than a week.

nice haul! You should play Ys first!
I bought all of the Ys games actually. And also the two original games for iPhone but I'm gonna play it on PC instead. I'm currently planning out which games I want to complete this year, and I already have a lot on my plate: Until Dawn, Oxenfree, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Dragon Quest IV, The World Ends With You, Bloodborne and Persona 4: Golden. I might slot in Ys 1 Chronicles but I'm honestly more of a story guy, than gameplay person.
don't forget to preorder dat http://www.groupees.com/bma3

Started playing Alien: Isolation, love the art direction and basically the whole atmosphere of the game, it's just like the original movie, but on the other hand I can't deal with the tension of horror games and having the Alien haunting me all the time. I think I'd enjoy it more with the no Alien mod but it kinda takes away the point of the game

I think I'm going to spend my snowflake coin on it, currently valued at $4.85 or so, after it drops. The Hive looks interesting.
Just 100% Arkham Knight. Amazing game, well worth waiting for the hoopla around the bad port to be over and have it discounted. Aside from random crashes during the open world which weren't too bad because the game saves constantly, the game ran perfectly well on my 2013 rig.
I'm impressed you managed to get Rolento and Guile in the same image. Attention to detail.
Anyway here's some footage from last nights shenanigans. Sadly not all of it as ShadowPlay has gone back to murdering my PC. So just in game YouTube upload stuff (which I might go back and rerecord as the quality is rubbish).
Poison (Messiah) vs Ken (Dogg)
Cammy (Uzzy) vs Ken (Dogg)
Chun-Li (Uzzy) vs Ken (Dogg)
Rose (ViviOggi) vs Ken (Dogg)
Fei Long (ViviOggi) vs Sakura (Dogg)
Ryu (Messiah) vs Cammy (Dogg)
Cammy (Dogg) vs Juri (Uzzy)
Makoto (Dogg) vs Zangief (ViviOggi)
El Fuerte (Messiah) vs Ken (Dogg)
Juri (Uzzy) vs Ryu (Dogg)
Sagat (Messiah) vs Ken (Dogg)

PC parts are probably super cheap in China and consoles are not. It makes sense if China becomes a huge market for Valve.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is such a pretty game, I could see where Anita was coming from in her latest ass video, but it was a nice ass so I'm not complaining.

Good grief, of course ND and UC4 have to be brought into the QB discussion....

The costumes don't have a period exclusivity do they? I know Resident Evil 0s did outside of buying the complete pack.
Also my bad forgetting about the USF4, then again where I'm at the wifi is pretty bad for online.

The whole QB discussion became shit. I mean "everyone" was saying it was good that QB comes to PC and more games from the Xbox One should come. Then about half a day later someone on GAF opened a thread about PS4 exclusives should also be on PC, then everything changed and now console-exclusives on PC are shit...

Naughty Dog are the MC Hammer of video games :V
Bloodborne needs to be announced for Steam already just so we can vote it #1 for 2016 and see how the Sony Shills feel about it :V

I for one am I baffled by the amount of people who suddenly don't love comfy couch anymore, and are on the verge of becoming PC gamers.
Chairmanchuck
Member
It wont be, but damn. I would like to see the reactions.
"I dont want to sit like a monkey in front of a PC."
"But you can just connect your PC to the TV and still have comfy couch gaming."
"Dont wanna do that."
These were the arguments before...

The steam controller makes comfy couch even easier since you can control the mouse with it.

Yeah, and now everyone is looking to sell his/her console, it's all so very weird.
"Then play it on consoles"
"But it is better on PC and i don't want to play it on consoles now"
XD
In the words of Juri, I will have my revenge. Not in this cheesy game though, but one where Gief doesn't have green fingers.
Whoops. Should be public now.

I dunno who I'm gonna play in SFV. I tried all the characters and no one really clicked.
You have guts, comrade! But not enough to topple the mighty Red Cyclone!

Don't play the game and wait until Ibuki releases
Fixed that for you.
Actually for me. All for me.
Endorlight is free @ https://www.indiegala.com/#giveaway
I'd be shocked if they weren't available to purchase when the store launches in March. Capcom need the money!

I'm gonna probably use my coins to buy the bundle once it gets out of preorder. Don't want anything of it but there are a couple games which look good for gifting.

Isn't it amazing how we've been conditioned to associate the word "simulator" with shovelware or a garbage novelty game? It really does a disservice to simulator games that are actually good (I haven't played ETS2 of course but it's usually the prime example.)

Well I got the game as a gift, so I plan on playing it. But yeah I don't see doing much aside from the character story modes until Juri is out.Don't play the game and wait until Juri releases
I guess we'll find out.

That is nice. Having my games on HDD, installing Steam and just pointing the folder with no need to redownload.
