Does the version of SSF4:AE on gamersgate activate on steam? The only drm listed is GFWL.
What do guys think on the concept of a publisher-made Kickstarter to fund PC ports of already-released games? Because the more i think about it, i sort of like it.
1. This is only for publishers with little to no PC development or where the management has doubts if making a PC version is going to be worthwhile.
2. The other versions of the game are already released so you would know exactly what you get and have infinite amount of data to decide if you would like the game on PC.
3. Being a port for a game already on the market, funding targets shouldn't be enormous, probably 1M max.
4. The parameters of the project are easily defined and understood. For the original funding target, the port will have the following features : ...
5. Stretch goals are also as easily defined and understood: Reworked textures, 4K support, VR support and etc.
6. The 'surplus' from the raised money can go to investing in the company's PC dev-chain so future pc versions may need a reduced amount or money or funding it internally.
Would you have issues backing such a Kickstarter. Do you thing publishers should never ask money from people to fund anything? How would you react to a Sega KS asking 400k for Vanquish PC, for example?

So...you're giving us a goal. Okay.
Thanks JaseC. No point in buying it then.Shh, it's a secret.
Nope.
Shh, it's a secret.
Visions of "Silence of the Lambs" playing in my head.
No, don't spam >.<
Don't think it's a bad idea at all, and depending on the game I would be fully behind that.
Why is there an arbitrary limit at 400 then?
Thanks for this. This and Man Puncher being amazeballs have made today my "arcade remembrance day".
No it doesn't, but they gotta make money off it somehow, especially since we'd all be waiting for the next Steam sale to buy it at 75% off.
Joking aside, that's the first KS I'd contribute to. Vanquish seriously needs more exposure and praise.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It isn't a hard limit, it's just that it could potentially mess with the database if allowed to go unchecked.
Not going to, don't worry. Who do you think I am?
I just threw a figure. The question is about the concept of crowdfunding by a publisher in the form of a port of already-released games to other platforms.
Putting up the money and taking risks is the publisher's job, we shouldn't have to do it for them.
But I'd probably support something like, oh...
Any of Vanillaware's stuff would be perfect for Steam. Especially Odin Sphere, 'cause one of those boss battles was an express train to Slowdown Town.
Only if hitting 426 pages per month will get us summer sales on par with 2011's, with tickets and narratives and publisher packs etc.
What morningbus said, but, also, it's arbitrary.

Thankfully that has been fixed in the version that's on PSN now. Odin sphere was cool, but the game made you do the same thing 10 times over. Wasn't a big fan in the end.
Must have any Vanillaware game in Steam!! I got Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire, but I have never played them
Discount codes don't stack
Watch_Doge is only a month away?! It's a summer game? I thought it was October at the earliest. What do Ubi have in store for Winter 2014 then (besides yet more AssCreed)?
Check the CoL thread (not the review thread, the actually positive one), page 10:50ppp/5:100ppp.
Even more AssCreed! There are two games this year (Unity and a PS360[/PC?] title).
Yeah, fighting Odette for the fifth time was a bit tiresome, but at least each character played differently enough.
Remedy that as soon as possible. GrimGrimoire is fantastic and has probably my favorite female protagonist in a video game.

I would support it about as much as I support normal kickstarters: rarely, if at all. Probably even less, unless it was, say, Atlus. I'd support anything Atlus internally develops that I have access to. As for Vanquish getting a PC port, I highly doubt it would go to crowd funding. I'd actively avoid a Sega kickstarter that wasn't Atlus related. Sega is a fairly large company that doesn't need support to make a PC port via public funding. They just can't be bothered to do it in the first place.
Long live the Gabentos
Thank you for the game ^_^
Ubi is fast becoming a one-trick pony. Only their artsy stuff like Rayman and CoL is saving them from Abstergo poisoning.

What? Two AC games in the same year? I wonder how many studios are working on the franchise now.
With over 1000 games in my Steam library I find it hard to find time to play a PS2 game

Technically this year has had three thanks to Liberation HD, even if the port was complete garbage.
This truly is the year of the asscreed.

Studios? More like Ubi product line, pumping games out like crazy.

Vanillaware's general output has been style over substance so that tends to make it even harder. I just can't penetrate Odin Sphere or Muramasa because once you ignore the art the games are hard to get through on their repetition.With over 1000 games in my Steam library I find it hard to find time to play a PS2 game
They need to stop being one-trick ponies and go back to making games about one-trick ponies.

Nah, we need Ubisoft to go back to making the mythical Imagine Babyz sequel we deserve.

I forgot about Liberation HD.
How the developers must feel only working in the same franchise, I know it sells a lot but the team may end fatigated.
Almost a dozen. I posted a list in the "Game companies you can't believe still exist" thread:

Do you people live in the future? We are only on page 201.
Wouldn't involving so many different studios making a game bad? Seven different studios made AC4. SEVEN!!
Noticed this during the new Wolfenstein trailer....split second after a guy gets blasted in the face...
What am I looking at?

If they stop making AssCreed games, then Jase won't have any games to play.
Did you also notice how unnoticeable double barrel shotgun suppressors are?Noticed this during the new Wolfenstein trailer....split second after a guy gets blasted in the face...
That blood splatter looks like it's on some glass surface. It's probably some generic blood decal that isn't meant to be used for that purpose.

My guideless quest on Dark Souls 1 continues.
Yesterday I couldn't play a lot, so I just rushed into the forest, cleared the path of all those Ents and stone giants and reached where I found out that fog door.
I was having fun hacking all plants and accidentally found this summon sign and a nice witch came out. We went upstairs and prepared myself for some awesome boss fight! yes sir! came out of the fog and saw... uh... a nice view, and eerie song, I saw my witch buddy looking up and charging a spell and I saw this lame-ass butterfly boss. That can be the most disappointing boss so far on this game, lame, slow, and always outside of my range. My witch buddy actually took 4/5 of the boss' health herself and I just gave the finishing blow as it came down to rest. This was lame.
Got into another tower and found a dead blacksmith.
Also got a key with this description:
Opens the narrow passage leading below
at the far face of the great bridge in
the Undead Burg.
The lower Undead Burg is a treacherous place.
Do not turn your back on the wily thieves, or
the wild dogs who serve the Capra Demon.
I guess its time to backtrack and face this Capra Demon I've heard so much here on GAF.
My heart is resolute and my axe is sharp.
Today at night, my quest continues.

I bought Van Helsing II and Tropico 5, so I am going to be set for a while.
Will wait for impressions of Bound by Flame, but I think that looks promising as a more or less standard character action RPG.

Thanks JaseC
It must be a nightmare managing the communication with so many studios.
He has Anno 1404 to play now.
At least this isn't Jar Jar's feet.
And no, please don't post Jar Jar's feet as a response to this post. In fact, I should probably have never posted this.
