Only missing 4 games, and 3 of them are the desura ones. I think this will be a pass for me.

Silent Hills has been weird for me because I've had no idea what platforms it was going to be on until now. It wasn't really clarified at all, other than the teaser being exclusive to PS4. I just assumed it would be PC/PS4/Xbone.

There's always more room for Japanese games on Steam.
"Japanese action game" is like... 99% of Japanese PC games (that aren't Milamber class)
After looking at what secondhand prices were for 2, 3 and 4 The Room are going for on Ebay a while back I'll be all for it, even if was just a simple

Great article. I guess part of my problem might also be that these things are a lot more obvious when you play these games in succession: I played AssRev less than a year ago, played through AssCreed 3 in March and now just started AssCreed 4. It's just much more apparent to me now that they really, really aren't even iterating any more so much as changing the setting and adding so very little new stuff to the gameplay department.
It's a shame, really, because the jump between Ass1 and Ass2 was huge and the leap they took from Ass2 to Assbro was also pretty significant. The series could really use a jump like that because, as far as i can gather, Ass4 is tropical ass3 and not in a good way.
I thought that VNs made up 99% of japanese PC games.
He posts here from time to time. I don't remember if he gave some hints that could help guessing which game it could be.
Anyways, I hope that soonish will really be soon.

The new voice acting for 2 is better in nearly every way and so is 3 although Heather is a bit flat. 2 and 3 are two of my favorite games but the voice acting in the originals was just terrible, especially Guy Chi. There's a reason none of those people acted in games again. People love the games so much that every aspect has to be considered flawless

No lie, I've never actually installed or launched Origin. I have an EA account (from my Bioware Social days), and I use it to plink away at the various free promotions the Origin store has most of the time. I don't think I've spent more than $20 on it, and most of it ($15) was spent on the ME2 and ME3 deluxe editions.
Well, that's what the Milamber class rider was there for
(even if not all of them are smexy)

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I was about to say the same - as someone who played at loved 2 (but never played the original version of 3) I really liked the voices in the HD remake. Sure at first it was a little jarring - it's the same kind of experience you get when you see one of your favorite actors in a new movie except they have a different/heavy accent. But overall I thought the HD remasters were well done, and I would happily buy them again if they came to Steam.

Decent bundle. Gateways is great. LogiGun is okay. Hamilton is great. I have been wanting to play Home Sheep Home and InFlux.
Edit: I already own InFlux...

completely overlooked that.
But you're right, other than that it's 99% action games and of that like 98% is Falcom
thanks i'll look it up

Ninja Gaiden 3 to make its glorious PC debut.
First time I saw Mad Max it was the untouched, original version with heavily Australian accents ahoy. Then sometime later I saw the American dub...
Sometimes change is not a good thing.
Also on the subject of Ghostlight, Ross has an account on GAF so you never know he might start teasing here too.

He also said that Ghostlight should be able to release some information relatively soon.
Ninja Gaiden was the first thing that came to mind, but there are many examples.

I was checking the Ghostlight blog and found these two saying basically the same thing:
"Id rather not say too much about the unannounced one yet because I know how much youd all hate it if I gave too much away too quickly
but I can tell you that whilst it is a Japanese game, its rather different to most of our current catalogue of titles." [18th July]"Finally were still waiting for all the paperwork to be filled in for that unannounced Steam title that Ive been talking about recently. Were expecting it to be ready to be announced soon. While it is a Japanese game, it is actually quite different to most of our back catalogue being more of an action game rather than a traditional JRPG." [7th August]

I got nothing, Ghostlight's list of games they published don't include any action games...unless..
This is available on EU PSN and I believe Ghostlight published it?
Oh shit, missed that it was your birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! One day late... OR just very early?

Doesn't sound like anything from their old catalog.
Do you know what time it is?!?!?!? That's right kids, its bundle crap giveaway time! Grab Gateways because everything else is kinda shitty! (apparently Influx is good too but I totally can't vouch for that).
Thanks mate! It's definitely my birthday somewhere right now...just not where I am actually located. So might as well keep celebrating for another 24 hours.....

Was that a launch title or close to it?
The graphics have not aged well at all. It was looking pretty rough.
Aren't those Tecmo Koei IPs though? I'm not really familiar with what Ghostlight do and what they could publish.
I was going to say something like Dragon's Crown but that's Atlus and they already publishes stuff on PC themselves.

Rhetorical question here.......who in their right mind (besides a majority of the execs at Konami, who we already know aren't right in the head....see SH HD Collection) would hope/want a game like Silent Hills to become exclusive to a specific console? Me personally I'd be thrilled if the game also managed to see a release on the Wii U and/or last gen systems especially if it (shockingly) manages to live up to the hype.

Whatever that action game is were definitely getting our hopes up.

Chance Hale

I hope Silent Hill doesn't come to the Wii U or last gen systems because the game is at least a year, probably 2 or 3 away and doesn't need to be held back. The lighting in the PT demo is probably the most natural kind I've seen in a game.
Hopefully they bring back the gore at least, hell even the Vita version of Sigma 2 added it back in to the hilarious detriment of the framerate.

heh Zone 3 looks hardcore. Those teleporting purple enemies seem like a pain in the ass also.
Also I always hear people complain about the Sigma version of Ninja Gaiden games, what was so bad about them? Never played either of the Sigma games I've only played NG Black.
Whats wrong with them? I actually enjoyed NG Sigma on PS3 despite having played Black on Xbox. It felt easier, but didn't make the game worse. No idea about how NG2 and Sigma 2 compare, never played either of them. But i still remember the stupid japanese commercial for Sigma 2 xD
Oh and then there is NG3 ... what a terrible game.
You absolutely should. Check out the Giant Bomb Quick Look of the game. It gives a good idea of what it's about, and doesn't show too much.
The game's got some stealthy elements, and some frantic action moments. You really have to stop and plan how you're going to approach any individual room.. to a point. Once you're through the door, though, things tend to go from zero to insane pretty quickly, and it becomes more of a twitch shooter/brawler experience.
And as everybody else will say about it, it's got a great soundtrack.
Yeah great game, though I got stuck and haven't been back to it since. I really need to figure out how to get through that room I must be missing something.....

They fudged around with the encounter design too much because of the PS3's limited RAM. Ninja Gaiden 2 is practically neutered and has way less concurrent enemies and gore than the 360 version. You probably won't care if you never played or heard of the original versions, but it makes me want to kick Hayashit in the nuts.

does that mean we'll get P.T. on PC as well? or was that a PS 'exclusive' to get the game out there?
corrosivefrost

I do prefer the original x360 version of Sigma 2 in a lot of areas.
I've always hoped they'd release a collection with the option to pick which version you wish to play -- black or sigma, 2 or sigma 2... but just put 3:RE on there and don't give people a choice to play "vanilla" 3.
derExperte

Pretty sure someone said 'PS4 exclusive' when P.T. was announced.
P.T. is exclusive to Sony.
It was just a teaser/publicity stunt to announce silent hills, doubt they'll release it else where now that everyone figured it out.
