Support NeoGAF

[JaseC]

That's fantastic news.
Fingers crossed that Okami is among those.

There's a blog post on Capcom's site, published circa the release of RE4 HD, that initially included a slider comparison of Okami SD versus Okami HD -- it was quietly removed from said post some days later. Granted, this was yonks ago now, but take from what you will.

I'll gladly grasp at any straws you can offer me.

You're actually enjoying it? It gave me a headache.

 

[fantomena]

Finished Firewatch.

Spoiler

It was really sort, but I really liked the story and the ending. It was humane, no bullshit, no supernatural crap, just about flawed humans.

The design and the graphic style used was fantastic.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Finished Dying Light DLC last night, strangely enjoyed it more than the main game
Also liked the bleakness of the end

Now onto Shadowrun Hong Kong's DLC.
So many games....

PS: My eye is healing rather nicely it seems *phew*
It's less Resi Rev 2 and now more jaundice colour

 

[Lanrutcon]

Discovered Eliminage Gothic.

Promptly stopped playing everything else.

 

[Durante]

Expect to not play anything else for a long time, that game is massive.

Yup that thread is insufferable yet I keep coming back

I am a total Wizardry 8/Depths of Dejenol fanboy, so this is right up my alley.

The name of the SFV season pass "Street Fighter V 2016 Season Pass" make it sound like there's gonna be a second season pass, but for 2017.

 

[Messiah]

The name of the SFV season pass "Street Fighter V 2016 Season Pass" make it sound like there's gonna be a second season pass, but for 2017.

Well yeah, it is only for the Season 1(2016) DLC characters.

 

[Jawmuncher]

One person asked for Dino Crisis while I was away. I thought we were United in this SteamGAF. Now I know you all just want the series further buried.

 

[fantomena]

Well yeah, it is only for the Season 1(2016) DLC characters.

Ah ok, haven't followed the roadmap at all really.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

No way in hell Capcom is not going to make a seasons pass per season, if they end up having several seasons of DLC characters. The only question is whether or not they'll actually have a second season, and I expect that ultimately depends on how succesful SFV is during its first year. No matter what plans Ono has for long-term support (which I was happy to hear about), he probably wont be able get the funds from the higher-ups unless the game is actually making Capcom money.

 

[Jawmuncher]

i wonder how many PMs bacon got from Jawmuncher about dino crisis

I would but I feel it would have the Opposite effect. I'm sure someone else already bothers him to hell and back about every other game people here asked for but Dino crisis.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Third Strike or bust.

Also, was this known?

I think the wording is bad. She isn't in RE0, you can play the origins collection which has REmake and play as her.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Just saw a cinema ad for Battleborn, haven't heard from that in a while!

Man it looks bad, thought it was a Ratchet and Clank ad at first :/

I think it's highly unlikely that they'll stop supporting the game after a year. The only way that happens is if it's a catastrophic sales failure and that isn't likely at all. It makes sense that they'll keep doing season passes since they've said there won't be an SSFV or USFV in the future. How else do they keep making money on the game if not by selling characters/costumes as DLC?

In other news, here's what seems to be a (Youtube compressed) screenshot of Danganronpa on PC.

Video probably breaks embargo. Found it on Twitter. I would strongly recommend not watching the video because it has spoilers in the first 3 seconds.

The dialogue UI scaling seems a bit off to me.

I can only wonder what the mood is at Gearbox. On the one hand it seems like absolutely nobody cares about this game. But then on the other hand this studio has built an absolutely massive franchise (Borderlands) out of nothing. I wonder if they think they will do it again.

The difference is that BL didn't have anything competing with it back then. This time though they're launching only a month before Overwatch, and even though gameplay wise they're not exactly the same, in people's eyes that doesn't stop seeing them as competitors and so far BB is seen as the pale competitor.

Destiny could also be seen as a BL competitor now, so I wonder how BL3 will fare.

 

[Uzzy]

That's a shame. My 4am mind was thinking that they were advertising the ability to play as Jill in RE0.

 

[Parsnip]

Amyone have a xbone controller? If so how's the dpad on it compared to the shitstain that was the 360 dpad?

Ive actually been needing a new pad for awhile, the one on mine has a bad left stick, so if the dpad is good ill just get one of those and use it for my fighters aswell

It's definitely better but kind of loud and clicky, if that bothers you. But it also doesn't have 6 face buttons so I don't know why anyone would want to use it for fighters. I grabbed one of those new Hori Fighting Commanders for myself for when I eventually get SF5.
Waiting for that Ibuki drop.

 

[Jawmuncher]

That's a shame. My 4am mind was thinking that they were advertising the ability to play as Jill in RE0.

I thought the same thing at first as well.
Though thankfully Skin porting from REmake HD seems to be easy enough.

Found this interesting blog post on reddit where an indie game dev talks about the difficulty in getting people and the press to pay attention to new games releasing these days. He already has a game released on Steam and a second one almost ready to release there too. Before putting it on Steam, he decided to experiment by selling it direct from his website to see how sales would go. Predictably, it did not go well, and it leads him to this conclusion...

Mostly, as I already suspected analyzing our day-to-day numbers, it seems that your game doesn’t exists unless it’s on Steam.

I admit I don’t like it. If a somewhat established indie, with a clearly defined audience and some following, can’t generate enough traffic to live from direct sales alone, this means we’re no longer independent developers, we’re Steam developers.

It's a matter of fact observation rather than one made out of bitterness. It's an interesting article worth reading on a slow Sunday.

His older game on Steam is called Cinders.

Yeah that really is the problem with steam. We all like it but it has no real competition. So unless you're some anomaly like Minecraft, you more or less aren't going to get much in sales unless you're on steam. Dunno how it could be fixed though. People like having all of their stuff in one place, and to be fair a lot of the "PC gaming is dead talk" ages ago was because games were all over the place with no real way to consolidate.

These days it seems that your best bet as an indie is to associate with a label such as Devolver Digital. I wonder how big their cut is, probably around 20-30%?

So you're saying that your best bet as an indie is to get a publisher?

 

[Pachimari]

Who here is going to play Street Fighter V? I just want to know who I should add come launch time. And it isn't Steam/PSN ID's we need to add, it's our CFN names right?

 

[GhostTrick]

Yep, we'll have both kinds.

Internal dev teams in Japan are obviously busy with mainline titles which take time, resources, and manpower. The last item is always the biggest bottleneck in new games development as there's only a finite number of developers/designers available. That's the 'opportunity cost' we work with, so we ensure top internal dev resources are assigned to the most impactful titles (big new IP and/or sequels) while our external dev partners help fill the gap. These include HD ports and remasters and the occasional new IP.

TL;DR...we'll have more of your favorite Capcom HD ports heading your way. Naturally I won't be able to answer which ones so don't ask

Aaaaaaaaaah.
Okay okay, if you want to make me the happiest Capcom fan, he's my personnal list:
-Okami
-Ace Attorney Trilogy
-Asura's Wrath
-God Hand

and... my personnal favorite... Ghost Trick !!

...Now I haven't played Rise of the Tomb Raider but, I did play 2013.

Is was this meant to be a most improved writing award? If so then sure.

Hey Jasec, have you seen Hozier's new music video?

 

[Dusk Golem]

What else was there? Could be a case of Actual Guild Writers on games was low last year.

I'm not sure what games the Guild reviewed for it, though it is composed of thousands of people. But it just seems odd, there were even bigger games that released within the last year that I think many would make the argument of having better writing. And a lot of niche indie stuff with excellent writing, but that would be out of the public eye I would imagine.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Oh interesting. Yeah having played everything but ACS, RoTR is the weakest one there. Still at least it was a big improvement over the first game.

The writers (or at least the main writer I recall) have to be part of the Guild for the award nomination. So something like Undertale or other indies wouldn't be there unless they actually went through the process of getting in to that. I would say that any western AAA release writer is probably part of the guild though.

It's not like the writing was that bad in Tomb Raider. But yeah it does pale in comparison to the other games listed there.
