Sod I'll just read the first paragraph or so and turn the pictures off. Hahaha got to love that comparison chart "Antialiasing" (blur) for Dark Souls 1 is being kind at best.

 

[DJSebolski]

Nope, only the ones included in the season pass

So there is a possibility they will release a new version with all dlc?

 

[r3n4ud]

Does it have to a SNES new? There exists more recent devices such as Retro Duo Console which works as a modern day version of the NES and SNES, near exact hardware so it works and acts the same as the originals, but obviously easier to find new and in a box.

As it's near similar hardware it even allows use of the Super Game Boy so he can try out those games on a television.

Never thought of the Retro Duo. I'll let him know about it. Thanks man!

Nah it wasn't that. Dude was some bootleg detective with a blue hoody and red shorts roaming through school halls at night.

Maybe you're thinking of the Super Solver games? Like Spellbound! ?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Nah it wasn't that. Dude was some bootleg detective with a blue hoody and red shorts roaming through school halls at night.

You're clearly referring to the main character of the Super Solvers series. I'm not sure which game you're referring to, but my guess would be Midnight Rescue. The most well known game in the series is probably Treasure Mountain!

Does anyone know if the Lego licenses expire after a while for games such as Marvel/Batman/Hobbits?

Batman and LotR are safe as long as WB's deal with Lego is safe. Considering that WB just released a Lego Movie, they're safe for a while.

Durante's conclusion

While it is not quite the (almost generational) leap which was initially shown in previews, Dark Souls 2 on PC is a better experience and a more beautiful game than even a fully modded Dark Souls 1, and it also performs well on a wide range of hardware. It adds effects which greatly enhance the visual impact of some scenes, such as dynamic godrays, improves the resolution of environment textures, greatly improves shadow resolution and filtering, and maintains the highly detailed equipment models, textures and ambient specular reflections which were a hallmark of the original Dark Souls’ graphics.

 

[Arthea]

Tecmo news are great, I still can't quite believe it.
Realistically talking, what else can we expect on steam?

I started playing Mata Hari. It's a ver nice graphic adventure with easy puzzles and a very nice atmosphere and great graphics. Will definitely try to finish it.

Thanks for writing this, I was eying this game several times already, but nobody seem to know anything about it.

Just the €4 and €5 for Stalker 1 & 2 on Bundlestars. And then Clear Sky in that bundle.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

So, anyone know why it is that whenever I downsample a game the image becomes WAYYYYYY darker? On some games I have to crank the brightness up to nearly the highest setting to offset this.

Great article.

Having put enough hours into the PS3 version of DS2, this looks infinitely better. I've been fighting with myself on whether or not to double dip, but it looks like I might have to give in. This is Dark Souls 2 after all.

Are you using hdmi? That's why. It's a glitch nvidia hasn't bothered to fix yet.

Also, this:

The spacing of these releases has gone way down in the last couple of years, at least on Steam. Is something afoot at HER Interactive or is the series just on the downswing of its popularity cycle?

Yup, HDMI to my tv. And that sucks.

That just makes me sad. Sure I quite like Dragon Age: Origins but what I call a "Origin Classic Game" is Ultima or Wing Commander ;_;

Typical EA being deceptive as shit. That's a screenshot of Dragon Age 2 being used to promote the Dragon Age 1 sale price.

Also I think the new AmazonRep Josh won't be able to fill Tony's shoes:

B00FSWAV3Q [Origin] - $9.99 (75% off)

Live until 4/21/14 11:59pm PST
B007VTVKG6 [Origin] - $9.99 (67% off)

Enjoy the deals!

I mean nobody starts by knowing everything but I expected him to be able to post the links correctly at least.

Pride of Nations was patched and then unpatched a couple of times over the past hour. Distribution rights reverted back to AGEOD yonks ago but there's still no sign of the game returning to Steam. AGEOD also made a new retail sub for Rise of Prussia last year but thus far nothing has come of it.

What pisses me off about that huge sale they just announced is that they are still selling the old BF games even if the servers are shutting down in a month.

Didnt they said that they were looking into a solution?

I hope FROM is not releasing a pricy ultra edition with enhanced lightning effects from the preview build later on. Would make sense when they gonna do a PSBone port.
