[pahamrick]

As I posted the day in which TPP preorder went up on Steam, all rewards except GZ are included in Nvidia codes AND every retailers selling the game. Konami site stated this clearly.
Collector's video, Mother Base 3 DLC etc. are NOT pre-order boni, they will be available later too if you don't purchase the game on D1.

Yeah. On Konami's site the only thing specifically listed as a pre-order bonus is Ground Zeroes. Doesn't mean I trust them much though.

 

[Zeknurn]

I guess Zeknurn's source was wrong then.

Yeah, looks like it.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Maybe very eventually-- NIS seems pretty comfortable releasing only on Playstation-- but at least, with their games being so technically similar, when or if they do there'll be no reason not to just release their entire catalogue.

Well one reason would be lack of development resources. Even if you're just dumping content into a pre-made engine (and it's never that easy), there's all sorts of testing, gamepad and keyboard support, etc. Plus they'll want to spread it out to get people buying each release as they come.

But yeah I think they'll probably give Steam a shot at some point in the next year or two.

 

[Momentary]

I'd expect it to come to Steam eventually. Most publishers dipping their toes into Steam have done older games first and then newer games (see: Neptunia). I'd expect the same thing of NIS whenever they get on board.

This is supposedly their next game on STEAM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFfPs7BYgj0

It feels like they try to find what sold the least from their selection of games and decide to throw it up on STEAM to "test the waters." Looking at reviews... Man... Hopefully the PC version fixes the control issues that seem to be what hurt this game so much. I'm still going to buy it day 1 just to support them bringing other games over.

I don't make use of the ignore function, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't been tempted here and there. Nobody here, for the record; I just have a bit of a pet peeve when it comes to people who'd rather pretend a discussion didn't happen when either they were shown to be wrong or can no longer support their position on something.

Hopefully sooner since their latest report stated they wanted to support Steam. They should ask Idea Factory Intl. for some pointers on how to port some console games to Steam.

Saw this in the Woolfe thread. Looks like another GRIN bit the dust.

This is not just the end of Woolfe, but the end of the studio that I founded and nurtured through ups and downs the past 13 years. In 2002, when I founded GRIN with 2 partners, it was our goal to develop independant games. At the time we were focussed on browser based 3D games. Not an easy market to make a living from at the time. Less than 2 years after we started my 2 partners stepped out; there just wasn’t enough work to go round.

While not losing my passion and still spending every minute of spare time, I generated my basic income doing work-for-hire jobs. Every year the company grew a little stronger, a little better, a little more stable. Until 2 years ago, GRIN had 5 full-time employees exclusively making games for clients, we even made enough money to save a little cash on the side. We would use these savings to create the game of our dreams. Little did we know this would be the beginning of the end…

Not sure if old news, but the makers of Woolfe have thrown in the towel.

That really sucks. I wonder what went wrong for them. The first time I ever heard of the game was when it was in a bundle so at the very least I think they couldn't manage to get the word out about it.

I missed that piece of news. The game is still sold on the store.

no one on steamgaf needn't worry

 

[dex3108]

I really wonder what those Mad Max Streaming apps/video in SteamDB are. Oh well not long until release.

 

[Spirited]

So Katsuhiro Harada from Bandai-Namco said this in an interview at least

It’s getting hard to notice an improvement in graphics, current-gen consoles currently reflect the power high-end PCs had 5 or 6 years ago.

Nice, probably won't be that big of a difference but good either way.

 

[Knurek]

Exclusive or as an option, I wonder...

Windows 10 Store Holiday exclusive confirmed!!! XD

Yeah, and all sorts of post-release support because instead of developing for one platform they'd now be developing for countless configurations.

I'm only ever tempted to use the ignore function on drive-by shitposters, but it'd be a wasted effort because drive-by.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I think Season 3 of Game of Thrones peaked for me with surprise shockers that weren't outright kill someone off. The end of episode 3 coming right out of nowhere producing a massive 'what the fuck!?' moment for example. But Telltale's whole shtick had been give you a choice of who you're going to kill off, who does the deed or in a roundabout way gets chopped next episode so I'm not surprised to be honest.

TellTale's GoT has been pretty good about avoiding that, actually. It even throws a couple curveballs where things turn out pretty differently that you'd think due to unforeseen forces. GoT's only problem is that the characters are pretty undercooked due to the sheer number of them. Walking Dead, by comparison, developed a handful of characters over a long period of time.

The thing TellTale really needs to work on is how railroaded the stories can feel at times. If they planned out an ironclad story they'd be kings of the genre. And improved their engine, of course.

[AHA-Lambda]

I thought that Notch thread got locked? It still doesn't look too great inside it :/

remember when PC AAA games launched for $10 less than their console counterparts

lol

Yeah, how did we get here? >_>

I still refuse to pay more than £30 for a pc game as that's what it always used to launch at in the UK. Now of course you're looking at £35 or 40, if you don't get a pre order deal somewhere.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

There was an OT Notch thread.
There's nothing funny about what he's going though.

Heh, you know IFI's staff are largely refugees from NISA, right? The issue isn't the NA branches not knowing, it's talking sense into the Japanese motherships

Remember the times when -75% was the gold standard for Steam Sales, not -40%

 

[RS4-]

Man, what's up with the large icons on mobile gaf. Maybe because I switched to cell that has a 1080p screen?

 

[Momentary]

Idea Factory International is a prime example on how to get things rolling. I can't praise them enough on how they learned to port their games over and their great customer service when problems did arise. They never tried to sweep things under the rug and acknowledged when something went wrong and tried their best to fix it. IFI is a prime example on how anyone should run their gaming business.

Remember when we steamusers actually played our games and not just bought them?

Well this game looks already to be further in development than Project Phoenix. I regret ever backing that project. Even if it is released I can't stand the aesthetics of the game.

And now imagine that this game once its released in a few years (As if thats going to happen, lol) it will look even worse and more outdated than it already is.

Was Project Phoenix a scam?

It certainly does feel like one.

witcher 2 is like a 6/10 game, witcher 3 is a 15/10.

No. You're wrong.

 

[Copons]

Just upgraded from 8.1 to 10.
Such a buzzkill tho, it all worked fine out of the box and I'm not getting the new OS smell and stuff.
Also I totally forgot what I'm supposed to do with the start menu. What did we use it for back then?

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Scrolling and not finding the thing you wanted to find mainly.

 

[H1PSTER]

I won't be able to afford MGSV until after the 19th... Maybe I should avoid gaming all together for these next few weeks.

Steam is going to melt me, everyone I know has it pre-ordered.

At least I have Rocket League... Right?

you're supposed to do a fresh install!

I do have one problem with Windows 10. Indeed, if I leave Firefox open and put the computer to sleeping mode, then next time I log in, Firefox is all buggy and I have to close it and cannot enjoy the tabs which were left open.

[Copons]

Actually I've had a couple of problems myself too.

Like there was no sound, and I had to modify the sample rate to 24/48k (easy fix, but still, I guess an unaware user would have freaked out hard).

Or that it totally forgot that I disabled defrag for the SSD and started defragging it like a boss (randomly noticed it in the task manager).


And last but not least, but this isn't W10 related, how the fuck do I make Nvidia to NOT reverting the dynamic range to limited every single time it updates something?
SO annoying.

You can revert it to the 8/8.1 start button if you like.

Nah, I hated the start screen.
I'd just... you know... rather see Steam or Chrome in my most used apps, instead of Alarm and Download Skype...


EDIT

uh I just realized that if I rub the mouse cursor on the right side of the screen... NOTHING HAPPENS!!!

10/10 OSOTY

I'm gonna hit 104 this year.

Unless, dunno, Witcher 3 consumes me. Or some other meaty RPG.

But yeah, 104 should be definitely doable.

 

[Ludens]

Playing GOT right now. From time to time I'm stucked for some secs during a decision, but I think "it's a TT game, anyway, if someone needs to die, he will die" and I pick up the first random option I have in mind.

Anyway those characters...are just a carbon copy of

the Stark.

 

[Milamber]

It's pretty amazing we went nearly half a day without talking about PP release times.

So the relese time is kinda weird, 6 am here :/

At least I will be able to play when I wake up, but come on.

9 AM for me. Then the wait for the download to finish. I'll 100% GZ in the meantime, I guess.

They still do in physical format, which is strange and the opposite of what it should be in theory.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Though it is only us weirdos and Germany who get physical PC games in any meaningful quantities these days. Speaking of GAME by me have recently upgraded from 2 to 4 shelves of PC games recently and it's not all Blizzard titles or shovelware either. Endless Space has a pretty rad box and Shadowrun Cronicles has a swanky collectors edition. There's even a Watch Dogs/AC Unity double pack for double disappointment when you find out they're Uplay and both need large patches that you may as well bought them digitally.

 

[Chariot]

I first regretted getting weak and buying One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, but then I started the game and I love it, I love it! Everything works, the game itself is very cool. My regrets were shot like deserters in the prussian army.

Haha, yeah. The last physical PC game I bought was AC: Black Flag because I had awful internet at the time (like you do now ). It installed something like 20GB which was good, but then it connected to uPlay and I had like a 10GB patch to download anyways.

 

[Se7enSword]

 

[Ban Puncher]

I bought Slave Traders just to see how fast the refund process is.

How about $29 AUD bad?
