[HP_Wuvcraft]

Is it actually DoW 1 or 2? I'm looking for both, but just wondering since the image and the text are.... different.

The first, as per his edit.

thanks for "Wizorb, BIT TRIP RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles and Jamestown" =)

 

[Jocchan]

You're welcome, and...

The first, as per his edit.

Yep.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Yep.

Glory to the empire!

 

[kafiend]

Bah, I kept reading Outlast as Outland got really hyped...well whatever, I can buy it on PS3 now, but it would've been glorius on PC.

I keep reading it as Outcast and cry voxel tears while waiting for news on its revival.

 

[JaseC]

I keep reading it as Outcast and cry voxel tears while waiting for news on its revival.

I wonder if the original will make it to Steam now that Appeal owns the IP -- its GOG exclusivity period has well and truly expired.

Edit: Oh, nice, apparently I own the GOG version. Still, the more games on Steam, the merrier!

 

[Divius]

Could someone bring me up to date in regards to GFWL? When will it be shutting down and how will this affect anything?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Now, do I give away my Game Dev Tycoon key or do I keep it because I want my acheevs on the Steams?

 

[Addnan]

You give it away

Spoiler

to me!

That's a shitload of data to move to Steamworks.

 

[JaseC]

That's a shitload of data to move to Steamworks.

I wouldn't be surprised if a few titles are to be left high and dry. The Section 8 games, for example, currently have next to zero active players.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I highly anticipate replaying the fuck out of Bulletstorm.

 

[Addnan]

I think we all need to send emails to Epic to fix Gears and Bulletstorm and not let them die.

 

[toddhunter]

Is Epic still in business? What are they doing at the moment?

 

[FloatingDivider]

Is Epic still in business? What are they doing at the moment?

Unreal Engine 4?
They'll probably release a pilot game for the engine somewhere next year on the next gen consoles. I'm imagining they might not be undertaking any immediate game projects because of the nonsense that happened with unreal engine 3 where they couldn't adequatly support the technology for a number of third parties because they were preoccupied with their own games.

 

[JaseC]

Submit a message via Epic's Facebook page or Twitter as there doesn't appear to be an e-mail address to direct enquiries to.

Edit: I did the former.

 

[Lingitiz]

Making Fortnite and a lot of money from engine licensing. I think Chair is still making Infinity Blade. PCF are probably doing more Gears.

 

[RionaaM]

Dude, it's The Sims!
The Sims without long loadingtimes would be like JaseC without a Saoirse avatar.

Yeah man, those splines ain't gonna reticulate on their own!

I hit up epic and Mark Rein on twitter. Said I'd vote on greenlight to help them

 

[JaseC]

PSA: The Early Access version of Might & Magic X, in addition to giving you the DDE for free, now also includes Might & Magic VI, which isn't available to purchase separately.

Ah, good call! I didn't think to ask Rein directly.

 

[Momentary]

I want Blazblue to get on Steam. I may just pick up a retail version.

I would definitely pick it up. I loved the first one, but I quit console gaming when the second one was released. This a Xrd need to come to PC. They are already running on PC hardware at the arcades. Don't know why they wouldn't want free money.


Pertaining to M&M X:
I have never played a mainline Might and Magic. I always played Heroes. The first person thing is kind off putting but I love the aesthetics of the game.

How do the M&M games play? I've loved HoMM ever since i played the 3rd one back in my childhood, but never played a M&M game.

 

[bobnowhere]

With the change in ownership, I'm worried about Red Faction:Guerilla. I know there was a sale recently but still Nordic may not access to the code or just not care enough to assign someone to do it.

 

[JaseC]

How do the M&M games play? I've loved HoMM ever since i played the 3rd one back in my childhood, but never played a M&M game.

I haven't played an M&M game in ~15 years, but fundamentally it's similar to Legend of Grimrock, though M&M is open-world. Here's 16 minutes of gameplay footage of X Legacy to sink your teeth into (movement is grid-based, which is why it looks a little odd).

 

[Lain]

Played a little bit of Betrayer yesterday. The sense of fear is there (and I dislike it, I don't like horror stuff, but i knew it from going in so it doesn't influences my opinion), and the style with everything in black and white is pretty damn cool (one of the main reason I decided to bite on this alpha).

 

[zkylon]

ok sr4 has like the best soundtrack ever

edit: I also find it hilarious that sr4 is more "realistic" than sr3 in that it gives context for all the ridiculous shit that happens since "it's all a simulation".

 

[Nillansan]

The store page for Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut should go up soon. The PC version is coming along nicely according to their latest update. They are also teasing some surprises for the launch.

Hi everyone!

Just thought we should check in and keep you abreast of how things are going with the PC version of DPDC... and the answer is very well! Development's flowing smoothly and we've nailed down both a release date and the specifications, so we'll be able to share those shortly. In fact, you'll see them as soon as the actual Steam Store page goes live, which should be very soon indeed - it's complete, so we're just waiting for it to be activated. Only a little while longer, friends!

We've also got a treat or two lined up for the game's launch, but that's something that we'll talk about closer to Halloween. And yes, it IS going to be Halloween - there's no better time to send York out on a case!

I know what I'm pre-ordering when I get the money

 

[Chance Hale]

I hope it's the most unoptimized game ever and requires a titan for 60 FPS.

This game is one of those love it or hate it but with a nice hot cup of Coffee and the soundtrack you can't really say no to be honest.

Don't forget the cherry pie!

 

[Fuu]

Did we hear anything about the price of the Deadly Premonition port?

Can't wait to catch the seemingly numerous Twin Peaks references in DP. I still need to replay Alan Wake too, I only watched the entire series after I was done with the game.

 

[mrgone]

Coffee is essential

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I like watching the Japanese commercials that used Twin Peaks to advertise a type of canned coffee to get hype for Deadly Premonition.

So good. :lol

 

[NaM]

I want my money back MS.

 

[Chance Hale]

I have to go kill all those pigeons before GFWL shuts down!

 

[FloatingDivider]

I want my money back MS.

Honestly this is a justifiable sentiment if gfwl goes down and some games aren't patched. Mostly because I will own a bunch of utterly useless games that I'd need to hack in order to play.

good morning steamgaf.

how's progress going on whatever it is you might be playing?

 

[NaM]

The problem here is that Microsoft doesn't care about the consumer, especially if it is a PC user.
