You wish. MS will announce Win 9. DX12 will be exclusive to Win 9. Halo 1~3HD will only be available through the windows store. Halo 1~3HD will support DX 9.0c and 11 only.

But doesn't actually use any DX12 features and is hacked to run as low as Windows XP within the day.
I can see that happening, unfortunately
If they do that, we'll have another DX10 situation on our hands - every game dev will just stick with DX11.
Who, other than MS, would ignore 75% of potential audience?
Nailed it, except for the community work around that will make it redundant I hope

I would buy/do whatever needed to be done to play Halo 1,2, and 3 HD on PC. I already have Windows 8.1 so hopefully that's enough, but if they seriously want to compete with Mantle then they really need to have it support W7 as well.
I think you are confused. The astronaut is exploring a distant planet, and somehow stumbles upon something that shouldn't be possible; a Russian town on the aformentioned alien planet. The story revolves around the player unraveling the mystery of how a human town ended up there.
I actually am very happy that the game has reappeared. I thought it had been lost forever in development hell.

We need a Euro-Dupy.

While OpenGL is no real competition right now for PC gaming I can't see MS ignoring this.
What's so unfortunate about Microsoft wanting to sell new software for new software features?
My guess is it will come with Threshold next year.

I see this happening.
I would be fine with it, I just want to replay teh Haloez.
I hope they release Reach and ODST too. They can keep 4.
Never forget 'Vista only' directX 10
Regardless, it's a bonehead move because limiting it to an underserved platform will only cost people that implement it money from all the sales they lose by not offering it to the larger userbase... and if the new features are only for a small percentage of the users, why waste time and money even implementing them?

I've become a fan of W8 and so theoretically wouldn't be affected but 7 still has a much larger user base and the bigger the number of the people who can profit from DX12 the higher the incentive for game makers to support it.
Inspite of many people warming to W8, some don't like it, and some won't move to it, or moved back to W7.
This situation is very similar to Vista one.
on unrelated note, you do like your pinball, don't you?
I've played some yesterday and some highscores there!
I was wondering, how long took 80 mln run? an hour? (><)
the Epic Quest Table is interesting, BTW
Very very very yes. I played through the whole game a few weeks back and the controller was fine using a wireless 360 controller.

I played it with a 360 wireless controller a few months ago, and had no problems. Fun game.

I paid 10$ for it and consider it a steal. Looking forward to replaying it, and yes, it's awesome with a controller and no issues whatsoever.

Definitely worth the price. When I played there was no issues with controller support on my end. How recent is the review pretty sure a patch fixed that.
Oh yes. Solid and fun TPS.
They patched the game multiple times, those issue should be solved already.
It really is. I've ended up blasting through it as I couldn't put it down and think I got every friend. Will probably play it again in about 6 months or so.
you already finished it? Is it that short?
How's gameplay? Would I like it, if I don't like South Park itself?
Don't remember which one it was, but not Spider-Man.What was the one with 80? Spider-Man? Thing is, some of the scores look insane at first but the longer you play, the faster you get points and a few of the tables are very easy (some say too easy and I agree a little bit) so it's really only a matter of endurance.
PvZ table today! Can't wait.
I have only half of tables and of those I tried, none seemed too easy, but then again I played very little so far.

I heard 15 hours max even when doing everything. And after watching the GB Quick Look I wouldn't recommend it to someone that doesn't like the SP humor as that's the main draw.
The game is fixed! Still runs like shit but it looks good now at least.
Night time is too dark though
and omg the melee in this game
The pop ups are kind of bad, at first I thought it was the view distance so I keep messing with the settings but turns out the stuff pops in and out no matter how high I set it to.
Gameplay is a very simple RPG, it was very easy to get myself overpowered and I would only recommend it to South Park fans
especially if you're adverse to fighting zombie nazi fetuses
I wouldn't say it's short, probably put 20 hours or so into it. It's just that I couldn't put it down at all.
Finished Dishonored. The ending was incredibly underwhelming but it was a fun ride overall. I did not use half the weapons/powers in the game, mostly stuck to sneaking around, which means maybe I should replay it 'guns blazing' but honestly I can't be bothered. I will check out the DLC though.
I see there's 3 DLCs, which one should I start with?

Don't play Trials since no story, don't play Witches cause it's the second part of Knife. Play Knife first.
Thought so, was still expecting for it to be a good RPG.
Will wait till ~$5 price then, for +1 game count.
Thing is, combined W8+W8.1 market share is currently at, uhh, 8%, and despite all MS efforts it's not rising. For god's sake, XP has 4 times as much market share.
What's the point of adding all those features if more then 9/10th of potential customers will not be able to use them?
Because they want to incentive that rise. Not saying that it would, but that would be behind the thinking if they did it.
It didn't work for Vista with DirectX 10, and it won't work now.
Know how many games were DX10 exclusive?

Serious Sam 4 is happening this year! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/03/06/serious-sam-4-coming-late-2014/
Works again. Didn't change anythin, so yeah Steam's end.
In addition to Sam Origins, Sam Revolution and a new IP that's been compared to Portal.

The low chaos ending is very tame. You should check out Youtube for the high chaos one. Far more dramatic and entertaining.

Void walker is just challenge maps, try Knife of Dunwall first, then Brigmore Witches.

Oh, I know that. But this is MS, where short-sighted decisions are the norm.

True.
nice! I only need games, but still nice for collectors.

Why couldn't they work on Dirt 3 first.
Probably already mentionned here but Nuuvem is selling Tropico 4 Collectors Edition (which I think includes all DLCs and the Modern Times xpac) for nine brazilian bucks, so 3€28 for me, and probably somewhere around that in dollars.
This is goddamn cheap.
Speaking of which, why don't we have a Nuuvem thread for these kind of things?
