I saw the Doom (physical) 9.99 deal on reddit and thought german gafers may be interested on it.
There is no need to have access original files to make a port, and no need to access them to pretty up the already existing PC ports a little bit.

Clockwork Mansion seems crazy, glad I'm finally getting back to Dishonored 2. Ghost, no powers or kills run for the true Thief feels.
Performance is awful in this level tho.

We're going to be on different levels here. The HD collection was an unmitigated disaster and many of the issues stem from the loss of source code and potentially losing certain rights.
Having access to the source code certainly makes ports cheaper. Then you have to deal with compressed textures and audio that wouldn't appeal to a modern market and you may even have to manually set up many of the hooks to get the game fully functional.
However, loss of source code is fairly common for that era and ports have certainly been accomplished with ripping the data off of a retail copy.

Hell yeah, i finally finished another game for 52 games 1 year challenge, almost one month after i started to play Nier and Dishonored 2. Though i'm still trying to finish them, i just completed my 3rd Bulletstorm wallktrough thanks to remastered version. It's still amazing game, one of the most fun singleplayer FPS ever. Though it surprisingly short, when i was playing it in 2011 it feels longer than 7 hour without steam game time counter. Maybe that's because this game is packed with memorable and diverse episodes, there is no fillers or just unnecessary parts. And while i absolutely love campaign, i kinda agree that no story co-op and proper multiplayer is huge missed opportunity - level design is great, but replaying them over and over again with different rules in Echo mode is not fun, and multiplayer is just co-op but on very tiny maps. Bad online component, no serious changes and overpriced, no wonder why this game have only around 10k owners on Steam at this moment while Halo Wars released only 4 days ago and already have 2.5 more user base. Bulletstorm is one of the unluckiest hidden gems in videogaming history, it was fucked by publishers twice, first EA, now Gearbox. I'm still have hopes to see sequel someday, but it's highly unlikely at this point.

The level design in clockwork mansion blew my mind, shit was crazy.

Well at least we have a date, so I'll add it to my May list.
Yeah, it's a phenomenal level, I love that it lets you play level designer. Along with 'Crack in the Slab', it's one of the best single player levels I've experienced in recent years.

The clockwork soldiers are fucking terrifying, fast and they jump all over the place and up and down entire floors while searching for you.

Is it just me or Bayonetta received 22kb update?

Yes it got its first patch. To what, no idea.
EDIT: According to a Steam forum member, it seems to have fix the AA that didn't previously worked with anything beyond 2xMSAA.
can confirm
Bayonetta 2.2 for PC confirmed.
Its pretty incredible what Kojima and his team achieved on the PS2. Its a 2001 game released on a toaster of a console. The visual fidelity and performance was masterful. I bought a PS2 the day the game came out. And my mind was blown like 100x over by all the crazy shit that game does. No console game at that time (in any aspect) could hold a candle to Sons of Liberty.
With that said I still think MGS1 was the better game. MGS2 didn't quite hit the highs of the first but still it will always be remembered as the game that made Kojima the popular guy that he is today.
Bah.
That was the first thing I thought about, that somehow MSAA wasn't on because a line or two of messed up code and this patch was to fix that... but MSAA still ain't working.
I think you are confused.
For HD Collection I'm talking about MGS HD Collection, which is great.
When I talked about a SH port, I was referring to the original titles available on PC, I'm not talking about the abomination called "Silent Hill HD Collection". That is indeed crap, because they ported the games from beta version, since Konami lost the masters...even if I remember Bluepoint saying you don't need the original source code, but simply a PS2 copy of the game if I'm not wrong.

The gameplay was so tight and that famous attention to detail to just made the game a masterpiece.
Even more fascinating, is the foresight Kojima had with the plotlines discussing the disinformation on the internet corrupting humanity and democracy.
The story is more relevant these days as foreign powers and political parties use the internet for disinformation campaigns to subvert democracy.
Would have been a genius move to control the narrative. As soon as MSAA is in a game, people call it a bad port since it's a performance hog.
Turn it off, let the ignorant wallow in their ignorance, than turn it on later.
I'm not even exaggerating, it's a better bet to go with FXAA or SMAA, or similar post process solution, then hide MSAA in an ini file.
N++ is the sequel to N+, not the same game.
Still sounds pretty decent for Kecmo standards lol. Nice to see that Kaldaien is looking into its issues, however.

Can't wait for the Day Forty Steam Asia exclusive edition that still includes the Valve accessory.

I know. I am just saying that those kind of games arent what people want nowadays. The craze is over.

So now folks are saying the 22kb Bayonetta update was for a Vanquish avatar. If true, I guess Vanquish is a done deal for the next PC port?
Coreda

It was definitely A Thing yonks ago. Though really, one could make the same statement about various older series/games that are still available today. They did release a remake in 2008 (N+) which was around that period of popularity, but the PC didn't get any new version of N until N++, despite being the platform of the original game. The game reminds me of some relic from the past but I'm still thankful it finally released on the PC again.
Chairmanchuck
Member
I still remember people got mad that there was no N+ on PC, because it was a PC-Game before.
Like I said. I still think they released it too late knowing its a sequel. Kids are still all about Minecraft now, the ones who grew up with N mostly moved on I guess.

Considering how long it's been. They must've been holding things off so we could see a bit of a constant stream.I looked it up, it's true
Holy shit, guess Vanquish is already close?

And here we go again: people will beat the game and allegedly ask for a refund.

yep this appeared in Extras folder

Simple solution: If you're making a single playthrough game, make the playthrough last at least 2:30 hours.
If you're making an arcade game, like Crimzon Clover, which can be beat in less than an hour, make the game good enough that people will keep playing it past the refund period.

The PC port of Valkyria was Sega of Europe deal.
The PS4 Remaster of Valkyria was Sega Japan thingy.
The branches aren't on speaking terms, it seems.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
They released their last game in like 2008. I understand that it's important to polish your work, but I'm saying that maybe having half the content (no one comes close to finishing all the levels in N+ let alone N++) and releasing a few years earlier would certainly have given them more visibility.
I'm going to guess that gamer's interested in Edith Finch in the first place are those willing to pay full price to support indies.
Those asking for a <2 hour refund never would have bought the game in the fist place, with or without the policy in place.
Didn't even know that, I only saw this
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01CD0IG3C/
on a store and made a laugh thinking about Sega and their pc efforts.
I mean, I want two franchise from them, the first is Shenmue and it's still missing in action even after Shenmue 3 KS, the other is Yakuza and Sega is unable to use the hype around 0 and Kiwami to bring the franchise on PC.
