Dark souls just patched through steam.

Any ideas what that is about?

Making friends fast huh?

Have you guys watched Gabe's speech at Linuxcon where he hints at the Steambox, once again?

Here you go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzn6E2m3otg

If you have the time, I strongly suggest you watch the whole thing. He kind of explains his vision for Steam and PC gaming in general. Very interesting, and it's easy to understand how Steam is such a successful platform with a guy like him on top.

Also, Gabe stated we will have more news next week on how Valve will help Linux become an important gaming platform through hardware, with a unified system between PC and living room. Could this be the first peek at the Steambox?

Thank you for reminding me that I need to watch this video. It's in my watch later list.

Also we discussed it a bit on the old thread.

No concrete news just yet. Thus far the only thing people have been able to ascertain is that it did not remove GFWL.

So far, we came to this conclusion:

It's also not conductive to start derailing a thread by discussing how messed up me and my friends are for posting ascii comments on each others' profile. It's really none of his business what goes on in my profile, and if he doesn't like it, he can just close it and leave.

Regardless, I'm not trying to justify what I said and I already apologized. Once again, I'm sorry.

Very nice to meet you.

It did break the 60fps unlock, so there's that...

It also broke dsfix.

If you're not happy about how you are being treated in this thread, PM a Moderator. Your defensive/aggressive response to it is not helping.

Now I'm logging off; I don't feel well enough to even read the crap in this thread let alone try and calm it down.

 

[Terrutas]

Very nice to meet you.

Don't expect me to want to be your friend and be nice to you after you what you just did. Alright, I'm done with this.

I wanted to say something about Rayman Legends, but then this happened.
Need some popcorn, brb.
Actually, that's what I wanted to say about Legends as well. Those credits are looooong! :/

I still need to play it (I've only put in four hours or so), but I have been really busy lately and GTAV came out today...so yeah

I think Ubi just credits every one at every dev for every game. Like we are just looking at their employee masterlist and that's why the credits always take 20 minutes.

Has there been any confirmation that Assassin's Creed 4 is coming to Steam at some point before launch?

Thanks for the link.

Interesting times ahead. I'm not sure that anything will ever come from the linux focus, given competitive responses. But I can only see it making things better overall.

 

[Atraveller]

Ubisoft's games are usually a bit late on Steam, they'll come.

 

[Derrick01]

Has there been any confirmation that Assassin's Creed 4 is coming to Steam at some point before launch?

I'm sure it'll come sometime a few weeks after all the other versions come out just like most ubisoft games.

 

[Nillansan]

Has there been any confirmation that Assassin's Creed 4 is coming to Steam at some point before launch?

Nothing has surfaced to indicate if it will be up for pre-order.

 

[duppolo]

so how godus is?

 

[JaseC]

Has there been any confirmation that Assassin's Creed 4 is coming to Steam at some point before launch?

AssCreed 3 went up about two weeks before release, so I wouldn't worry just yet. I actually e-mailed Ubi a couple of months prior to this asking when it (and Far Cry 3) would be available to pre-order via Steam but received the usual "we have no [new] information regarding future releases" non-answer.

 

[Turfster]

Has there been any confirmation that Assassin's Creed 4 is coming to Steam at some point before launch?

Ubi still treats PC as a redheaded stepchild, so if they hold true to form, the PC release will be 1-6 months after console release, let alone a steam release. They usually get released pretty much out of the blue too.

Was SC: Blacklist delayed?

 

[JaseC]

Nope.

 

[Vindicis]

Thanks guys, I don't mind uplay per se, but I sure would like to see AC4 on Gaben's playhouse.

 

[Atraveller]

Nope.

Maybe we'll get synchronized launches in the future!!

 

[Milamber]

Maybe we'll get synchronized launches in the future!!

History says no.

 

[Turfster]

Was SC: Blacklist delayed?

Huh, I guess not.
I know AC3 was a month later, and I remember AC2 and Brotherhood being 5 months later

 

[JaseC]

Maybe we'll get synchronized launches in the future!!

I actually think there's something of a chance that AssCreed 4 PC won't be delayed:

The only reason I think a simultaneous PS360-PC release is actually possible this time around (though I'm not holding my breath) is that delaying the latter would put it up against Watch Dogs, and while Ubi could simply delay Watch Dogs PC into December to space them apart a tad, publishers tend to avoid the month.

Time will tell.

Huh, I guess not.
I know AC3 was a month later, and I remember AC2 and Brotherhood being 5 months later

Revelations was a begrudgingly-acceptable two weeks late to the PC. I wish Ubi had stuck with that instead of throwing darts at a calendar.

 

[Milamber]

Ugh, friend is giving me his sealed PC version of LEGO Batman 2. So happy to get it until I found out it's not SteamWorks. Why WB, why!?

 

[Various Artists]

It always amazes me how fast this thread moves.

 

[Stallion Free]

I'm not sure if I want AC4 or Watch_Dogs day 1 this winter. I don't want both especially because I think Far Cry 3 will finally hit the right price during a sale soon too and I play Ubi games with careful spacing.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but someone found a new Humble Bundle on the Steam database.

Focus Interactive Bundle, including Divinity II, Realms of Ancient War, A Game of Thrones, Confrontation, Cities XL 2012, and Blood Bowl Legendary Edition.

Well, to be honest I have nothing but good things to speak about this fine Community fellow GAFfer.

Everyone is mostly kind, polite and very helpful. People help each other and I really like that spirit in here. It's great to see people discussing games, sharing opinions and every time someone is having an issue with his game, help is always found in here. Sure, nothing is perfect (I once got a Hate PM from a member) but it's the People who build the Community, not the other way around.

This explain the lack of a release date for Stick of Truth, they are missing the calendar.

Maybe that is the reason he gave it to you? XD

They're going to play almost exactly the same so decide if you like modern cities or that whole old-school pirate theme more.

You're right. I just wish I could've avoided the whole thing altogether. I wasn't speaking about the entire community when I said that. Not at all, I made some effort to join this forum for a reason.

same here, especially given that they are basically both the same game with different skins. I just hope they don't AssCreed Watch Dogs are start pumping them out once a year.

No problem. I hope you enjoy it!

[Terrutas]

I certainly will. I played the software version of Abe's Oddysee when I was a kid I got it with one of those cheap game compilation discs. I've never thought about actually going back and finishing it though. But now I can!

 

[Momentary]

Man, every time I buy a game with card money I feel like high fiving ol' Gaben.

HELL YEAH.. I only have one of those games.

If it sells well they are going to AssCreed Watch Dogs.

 

[Derrick01]

So which setting do you prefer? I'm only getting both if a retailer holds a buy 2 get 1 free on ps4/xb1 games but right now I'm going with Watch Dogs if I had to make a choice. I like modern settings more and to be honest I was pretty fed up with the sailing by the end of the missions in AC3. A whole game based around that doesn't sound too appealing.

I'd prefer the tropical, but I know I'm getting Far Cry 3 soon too which is more tropical stuff to stare at so it isn't wise, but I still loved the shit out of the boat stuff in AC3. It's probably gonna just be a last second decision.

Ubisoft recently said that they do not even invest in games if they do not have the potential to become a franchise.

Expect Ubisoft to pump out Watchdogs 2 as soon as possible.
