Didn't like their previous games and this looks like something I won't like either.

I might be interpreting it wrong, but I think we're at the point where someone is assuming it will do better than a Titan.

I like the art style but that's about it. I'll see how I feel next year.
Which is funny, because the one thing I didn't like in that trailer was the music.

The trailer doesn't give much hope for that, the song was dreadful

That Carmack tweet will haunt humanity forever.
but this one actually makes sense! If you don't buy expensive games and a cheap console and keep it until it's supported, it is a cheap way to game.
Or I misunderstood this post, what I mean, reasons are pretty obvious.
Don't you know people that buy the last game console when new gen starts, with bulk of cheap games and are set for years? You don't need to go console this way, you can go cheap PC this way, but it's essentially the same way, living one gen (at least 5 years if PC is concerned) behind. Now if a console life span shortens and it is supported for shorter time and has less games, I can see someone not liking it quite easily.
unrelated edit:
Pyre looks mighty nice!
unrelated edit2:
and music is good as usual.
*sigh
Yeah oddly enough the song wasn't the best. But w/e, it's a trailer. And, combined with these posts from the NEO thread, maybe we're just actually entering the twilight zone.

I popped all of my boss souls in ds2 and that also includes the giant souls.
I guess I won't be fighting the extra final boss after all

So new Humble Bundle today?
KT HB, it has to be today, finally
not to join in on the Supergiant games hate parade, but yeah. Their games LOOK like something I would absolute adore, but then...I dont.
Bastion I straight out not liked (I still want to give it another chance tho) and I was liking Transistor kinda but then stopped playing and never got back to it :/

Well it doesn't have to be. :\
kindly stick with my policy of changing reality with my statements, I got you a Capcpom bundle, didn't I?

I just want Transistor 2, even if that doesn't make sense.
We can wrap up the 2017 SteamGAF GOTY awards now.
If they had a reason for it, then that'd be fantastic. But I doubt they'd return to it, and I'm quite happy to see Supergiant release one off games in very different genres, rather than go for the sequel/franchise route.

There's nothing wrong with that. You can continue with that as it is, the old consoles aren't going anywhere. It's the dynamic that is weird: people want more, bigger, better and better performing things all the time but aren't willing to pay for the premium, which blocks any type of progress for years. People spending hundreds of man years in micro-optimizing to deliver experiences that would have been easily produced by slightly better hardware. Obviously some are capable of this and hardware should be pushed to it's maximum. Something like PS3 only peaked in it's Xth year because it was terrible hardware to develop for. This isn't the case with the modern consoles, but is an issue for the current hardware.
I know that you are being serious, but you are posting this question in the biggest PC gaming topic NeoGAF, you know, the platform that has been capable of shipping experiences that can cater to billions of different hardware configurations for decades >_>

2017 GOTY is reserved for Tekken 7.
no it will be 1 game, with both "modes" in it. Like a PC game basically.
Wow, looks amazing

That could maybe still hit 2016
I just really prefer sci-fi over swords and sorcery
Ok, it makes sense this way. Anyway I 100% FFIX, will take a break from gaming until Sapienza releases. It drained me even with boosters use.
Pyre looks like it should be fun. Have to agree with the sentiments about the trailer song though... out of every song from both their soundtracks, that's my least favorite so far 
I am one of the rare few who enjoyed Transistor more than Bastion and this looks like another somewhat unique gameplay style, hopefully it appeals to more people I guess.

holy smoke! already? have you played it 24/7 or something?
Nah, only took around 35 hours. 28 for the main 100% run, around 7 for the parallel Excalibur 2 one. But I used all boosters, so no random encounters and 5* speed when travelling around and during dialogues.
Plus a guide. But yeah, I played way too much.
I spent 150 hours 15 years ago on PS1, I just wanted to see improvements on this new version and get the Excalibur 2, a thing I never tried back in days...so boosters did their job.
Short version: I was REALLY waiting for this.
For FFX/X-2, I'll probably get it but won't play it at all, one play it's enough for both those games.

I've been playing Hex for a long time; the community is pretty active and stable since the Kickstarter did such crazy business.
I'd say it's not really viable as a F2P game even though you get a few hundred cards free when you start out: think of it more like "what you wished Magic The Gathering online would be, if you wanted something like that" which also means the payment stream is fundamentally CCG. If you want to play, you're going to need to sink a bit of money into it. Getting mess-around decks or decks that can handle the PVE / Single Player content will be pretty cheap (and you *might* be able to F2P that even), but if you want to be viable in P2P you're going to need to pay for card packs. I'm never a fan of "constructed" PVP in CCGs anyway, I drastically prefer "Sealed" or "Booster Draft", but doing that consistently free is going to be damn near impossible, and that's where you'll buy a lot of your cards (3 packs for booster drafts, 6 for sealed). There is an auction house and 3rd party sites for the buying and selling of individual cards, but I haven't used either yet.
Basically, think of the "free" part of the game as a demo that lets you get familiar with the game, the client, and all that stuff to decide whether it's something you want to put some money into or not.
With that said, If you want an online CCG, Hex is *great.* It's very different from Hearthstone; much more like MtG in terms of complexity and interaction. The PVE stuff has been significantly slower in rolling out than anticipated, but overall the game is fantastic with tons of strategic variety. It definitely apes MtG pretty closely, and you can even use similar deck archetypes if you're familiar with them (red burn, green ramp, blue control, etc), but they also do a good job of easing you into things if you haven't played many CCGs before.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I'll be there

So the third game is going to be triple size of the first game or the second game?
just finished the tutorial. Super impressive, great first impression. Its basically MTG with a slight twist on mana and champion powers for your character. Will deffinately at least play the campaign. UI is super sleak and explains everything nicely (even tho I know everything from my MTG background).
I wonder if this will end up being the mahjong solitaire game I (sometimes) want to play.

The only good thing about that trailer is Code Veronica stuff. I hope the fact Capcom is including it here it's a hint toward Code Veronica HD version for Ps3/One/PC. Capcom just ported 4-5-6, so why not.
Animations are atrocious, something I saw only in some Greenlight games and Digital Homicide titles.
The PS3 version is great, maybe a bit too dark, but I think it was dev's purpose on doing so.
Sega? What do you mean? Also I'm pretty sure you stump zombie's heads in CV too.
Eh, CV is the harder RE game. At least in RE0 you can play on easy, for CV there's no difficulty selection. If you don't manage CAREFULLY your resources, you are screwed, simple as that.

Code Veronica is pretty low bar when it comes to Resident Evil mainline for me. It hasn't aged as well as the others. That game to me is in need of a slight remaster. Nothing too serious, but some fixes here and there would go a long way.

And I was wondering, not too long ago, what they were up to after Transistor.
Looks pretty promising, but considering it's at least 8 months away I think that I'll forget about it until it drops.
Sadly, it doesn't look like it is turn-based, but that's just me.

I think it's fine outside of the fact that you can't pop a zombie's head off because lol sega.
It's the real RE3 for me, i must've played through that game like 3 times back in the day which is a lot for someone who plays through a game once and puts it away
I started it last year and was having a pretty good time until I got randomly killed off and lost 1.5 hours of progress. Either the typewriters are too spread out or I missed one.
