Support NeoGAF

[JaseC]

I was kinda hoping Fork Parker was serious last year when he said he would go after it

I think he was; Atari is just uncooperative. In ~August 2012 Jace Hall was given the green light to release a remaster of Blood, but about six months later, in February 2013, Atari had a change of heart and rescinded its approval.

Random question, but if I want to be banned, I just PM a mod, right?

 

[Rickenslacker]

Might try streaming a playthrough of Dark Souls soon, I've never played the game before and I want people to experience my demise.

Loaded it up for laughs, and it looks like this:
Looks like I'll need to reinstall DSfix. :lol

Turn off anti-aliasing.

Yes, they can be requested.

 

[Backlogger]

God fucking damnit, IndieGala apparently sold out of the Interstellar bundle, with like 6 days left on the clock. Awesome, that.

I guess that makes sense that they could run out of keys, but this is the first time I have heard of it happening.

What game did you want from it? I have a few extra keys from that bundle.

 

[bender]

Kind of want Jack Lumber. Any thoughts? Should I wait for it to go on sale on IOS?

 

[Cheddahz]

Yes, they can be requested.

Sweet, thank you!

 

[JaseC]

Yeah... well, that or do something particularly stupid. Public ban requests are ignored.

Edit: Banned Beaten.

That stinks. I have a spare copy of Interstellar in my Steam inventory if you'd like it. The other games have all been redeemed though.

 

[rtcn63]

It's been a part of a few indie bundles. Maybe ask if anyone has a spare, or are willing to sell a key for a buck or so.

The hell is wrong with them?

Well, this is the same company that pulled Ghostbusters and Riddick unnecessarily because a sentient seashell told it to.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Thanks.

The fact that there's a .gif for this tells me I should've remembered it.

 

[Cheddahz]

You too? No.

My school schedule is going to be crazy busy for the next week or so (I have three exams coming up, two of them are on the same day) and I figured that not attending to GAF would help me not be distracted as much (because believe me...you can get distracted pretty easily by being on here)

 

[mrgone]

Actually I was just looking to give Interstellar a try. I'd forgotten to go back and actually buy the bundle after they extended it at the last second when they added the last Steam game

 

[Turfster]

People have mentioned the Rebellion Classics sale, right?
Evil Genius, Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper and Sniper Elite 75% off


Edit:
Oh, I guess the pancake bundle games are known.

• Bad Hotel
• Survivor Squad
• Eleusis
• Gimbal
• Talisman Prologue
• Goodfolks

Why don't you just stay off GAF? Being ban doesn't mean you still can't come to GAF and view. Seems weird that you have to be ban just to stay off GAF.

Well I have interstellar marines in my inventory so if you haven't gotten it yet you can add me on steam (if you don't have me already) my steam name is arts&crafts not sure how to link my profile without logging onto the actual steam website but that takes a while with the security codes and such

Need to check out the readme

Easier said than done for some people, myself included.

 

[Knurek]

Go Dark Souls go!

I need new friends, it seems. #19 lifetime. OTOH, Civ5 #1.

Humble Store has SRIV for -60%

Speaking of the Humble Store, is Banished having any sort of unmarked sale? It's 4€ cheaper than Steam.

Where'd you see that?

edit: nevermind

 

[neoism]

Guys does anyone know when Castlevaina is out and if I can use a VPN right now and get it or not????

Also wtf at that price is it anywhere cheaper..??

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Why don't you just quit drinking alcohol? Avoiding bars doesn't mean you still can't get some beer and drink. Seems weird that you have to stay out of bars just to keep from drinking.

 

[ashecitism]

Well, this is the same company that pulled Ghostbusters and Riddick unnecessarily because a sentient seashell told it to.

sigh

and what about Nolf and AvP2? Are those Fox properties?

 

[JaseC]

The game unlocks in the US in 22 hours. You could use a VPN to buy it from Nuuvem for ~$38.20 (activating it wouldn't require one).

 

[JaseC]

sigh

Apparently nobody knows who owns NOLF, but I firmly believe it's buried at Acti somewhere under all the company reshuffles (Fox Interactive -> Vivendi Interactive -> Acti-Blizz). Sega lays claim to the AvP games but since the sequel was developed by Monolith it's unlikely to get a re-release on digital services as this would require Sega and WB to agree on a revenue split.

Edit: D'oh, forgot to switch tabs.

I know what's wrong, but I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it.

I can say--because it's public knowledge, that Monolith currently (at least, as of last spring, when I did the research) owns the rights to "A Spy in H.A.R.M's Way." The trademark, that is.

And Acti also has Heretic 2 buried somewhere....


Someone please save these games!

WHAT THE FUCK!! Why not in 9 hours est.

 

[Volcynika]

WHAT THE FUCK!! Why not in 9 hours est.

Because Konami has decreed it as such. I think that's the same time MG Rising unlocked too.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I'm hoping for a sale on all resident evil games as a way to celebrate resident evil 4 coming out. I really just want a reasonable ($5) price on revelations.

 

[mrgone]

Thanks so much arts&crafts! I'll think of you when I'm getting devoured by a land shark or however that particular bit of insanity works in the game

And thanks for the offer MakeshiftChef! You guys are awesome <3

o well may get thief instead.

 

[dani_dc]

Humble Bundle store is selling Child's Play Pack DLC for Saints Row IV which has been discontinued at Steam store.

 

[Matchew]

Huh? I'm 28 and have like 2 beers every 2 months. And how does drinking alcohol and anything to do with viewing a game forum? I wasn't trying to be a dick just honestly wondering because being ban doesn't mean you still stop viewing GAF.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, the subtitles went with Monolith to WB, but the trademark listings for both Spy and Jack are dead.

And Acti also has Heretic 2 buried somewhere....

I really wish Acti would just handball Heretic 2 to CDPR.

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm so excited about Bandai Namco pulling GFWL from Ace Combat, its looking up for Dark Souls.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Ugh... just tried a Spelunky speedlunky run and ended up at 8:28.

DAMMIT.

 

[DocSeuss]

Yeah, the subtitles went with Monolith to WB, but the trademark listings for both Spy and Jack are dead.

Right. There's a bit more to it than that; it's not as simple as "nobody knows." Stuff is happening, but not much.

I'd heard another story (this one apparently false) that it was Fox that retained the rights to NOLF because they wanted to make a movie, which may explain why some people think "nobody knows," but, like I said, apparently false.

System Shock 2's story was a biiiiit similar, except that EA ended up abandoning the trademark, so Star Insurance picked it up. Not sure how Night Dive wrangled the rights from Star, but it sounds like they're working together on it.

AvP2 isn't getting distributed, as far as I'm aware, because it's a similar situation to Wolfenstein 2009. That is, Activision owns the game (not sure how Bethesda managed to nab Quake IV; they're 'trying' to get Wolf 09, apparently), but they can't distribute, because they don't own the license. Basically, Sega would have to buy AvP2 from Activision, and it isn't worth it to them to do so.

 

[Grief.exe]

If anyone had cared to check the Ace Combat registry app it would have been quite obvious

 

[nexen]

don't the trademark/copyright of these things expire ... ever? I mean, one day, when I'm old(er) and grey(er) will these things be public domain?

Grandpa wants to play a little NOLF, you know?

edit: oh, yaaaay. One of the worst games in my library is rescued from GFWL.

edit edit: Bethesda got 'Quake' because id retained the rights to all 'quake' games, regardless of who was publishing and/or developing them. When Zenimax bought id they also acquired rights to all quake games.

 

[ashecitism]

That's a tragedy. AvP2 is a gem, it shouldn't rot like that.

 

[Nabs]

Ace Combat was ported by QLOC, so getting them to remove GFWL was probably an easy decision.

Now only 50% off. It went from 15,99€ to 19,99€. How much does it cost in $? I own the game already, just curious.

Meanwhile From is in heavy crunch mode to get the PC version out. After that release, they will probably be able to free up some of the team to work on the GFWL removal.

The timing is almost perfect really.

Pretty sure that was already posted even before you were banned
