Does Sega All-Stars Racing have 360 Controller support? I'm assuming it does, but it doesn't mention it on the store page.

It does. It doesn't replace the in-game icons thoughJoe Molotov said:
I have been having a good time playing Sega All Stars in splitscreen with my gf, she likes Mario Kart a lot so there is no learning curve. Some of the tracks look pretty nice too.

PC is taking over my gaming. How?
Well why would I go out to the store to buy a game that would make me have to switch my monitor and sound over to PS3, boot up my PS3, load the game into the system, play in 30fps 720p and a crappy online network when I could instead just download a game, only have to boot it up, play at 60fps 1080p 4xAA on an awesome online network?
PC has almost always been winning my money when it comes time to buy a new game. SSF4 has been the only exception, and you can bet I would have bought a PC version of that instead.

Why would I get up, go all the way to the tv room, and turn on everything when my computer is already on with 40 some titles that I bought for like $2 each, and I can just right click > Galcon Fusion!Dice said:
I hope they release SSF4 on the PC.

At first, it didn't seem like they were going to do it, though.Orellio said:

From what I heard through GiantBomb.com, there wasn't really a plan to port it to PC. However, Japan kept asking for an Arcade Version, since Arcades in Japan still exist. Capcom saw a valid market chance and decided to release it in arcades, on the same hardware SFIV was released (it's just a HardDrive swap, really).Orellio said:
Since the hardware these arcades run is pretty much a PC, porting the Arcade version to PCs is very trivial. Because of that, I believe a PC version will come out eventually.

You're missing out. It's amazing. Of course I would have vastly preferred a PC version, but I bought the game and turned on my Xbox 360 for the first time in about 3 months just to play it.
I'll undoubtedly pick it up on the PC as well if it eventually comes out. Mods will be glorious for this game.

They need to release their back catalog of Resident Evil PC games.Twig said:Yeah, Capcom has been pretty damn good to us PC gamers.

They've gotten a lot better, but they could still do more IMO. They just need to start announcing and releasing the PC version at the same time as the console versions. Stop pretending to not be developing a PC version and then release it half a year later when the hype has died down.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
I don't know. I think the only reason they have been doing it so much this generation is that it's so damn easy to. They basically make the game on PC and get it working on the consoles. So, later they just release the PC version they had all along with some extras that they happened to have been working on, and some PC specific features that have already been built into their engine. They don't have to fear that piracy, or whatever, is going to impact console sales, which is where most of their money comes from.ArjanN said:
I'm glad we're getting their games, but I wouldn't expect anything more than what they are doing now.
BobsRevenge said:
Oh, I'm not really expecting more really. Their current strategy probably works for them and they are one of the more forward thinking japanese developers.
I'm just saying they could do more if they really embraced PC as a platform, but I'm glad to at least be getting my superior PC version eventually.
I just received my dualshock to usb adaptor from amazon. So I just plugged in my old PS2 dualshock and started playing kinda properly for the first time my Street Fighter 4 copy I got from the steam holiday sale.
I am having lots of troubles setting up the button configuration and I am sure someone here could point me out to some tools that will make it easier. I remember that a program for configuring the buttons has been mentioned here before. But can't remember the name. Thanks in advance.

Looks like Steam will start carrying those Prima Offical Guides for games. A bunch has just been added to the store.

Really? That's pretty damned interesting. It would rock if you could open them up in game with the Steam overlay.

At least the guides aren't the same price as Prima's official site. The Dragon Age guides costs $25 each ;\

I still can't believe anyone would even pay $20 for game guides in the age of GameFAQs, where hardcore people will write guides for you for free out of passion. The only thing you conceivably would want to pay for is getting the guide at launch before GameFAQs guides are written up, but $20 is so expensive I'd rather fumble around and learn the game myself and buy whatever the weekend sale game is for the $20.
If these guides fail to sell, I wonder if they'll drop the price or drop the guides.

I would pick up the guide for an RPG I'm really into as Prima Guides are a massive step over what you can get at Gamefaqs. There are huge limitations to being limited to text only and it's usually a serious irritation to constantly have to control-f. If Prima does these right, I can't see why they wouldn't sell well. Their Fallout 3 guide was ace.
