I need them on PC though.
Most of the slagging off of the Vita is tongue in cheek or making fun of a specific niche audience. I make fun of the lineup all the time but I own one.
The Vita is pretty buried these days unless you really need indie games on the go or you fit into the stereotypical Vita fan club, with a couple exceptions a year like Severed.

Fully expect this to get lost in the flow of the Steam thread, but I picked up Life is Strange Episode 1 for the low, low price of free when it was on offer the other week and I'm seriously impressed. Great art style, interesting hook, it's definitely got me interested in picking up the season pass. I've only played an hour or so but I'm liking what I've seen so far. Without spoiling anything, am I in for a good time if I pick this up?

By the time they do they would be. Though remasters for those might be better rather than remakes.

I don't hate the Vita. Still, the fact remains what I said is more or less the truth.

I believe they released a patch or two to fix the performance on PC, as well as eliminating the upscaled resolution.

Humble store with 10% off if you are a monthly subscriber.
Someone posted a character comparison between the Wii and Vita version somewhere.
I like anime aesthetics but those characters below look like crap compared to the ones above. Lacks all the charm and looks like someone just randomly threw together whatever without giving a single thought to making it at least appear coherent.

The anime version looks waaaaaay better.

I prefer the anime look. I'm more easy on that style even if it's more generic than I am a cartoon aesthetic. Since with those I'm very picky.

You are most definitely in for a good time. LiS is my favorite game from last year and is for the most part very well regarded here.
I agree wholeheartedly. Anime aesthetic is fine but that looks dull and lifeless, whereas the original one oozes charm. Maybe it's because I have a soft spot for Nintendo-like aesthetics (not sure how to put it lol), but I don't even see how the two are comparable.

I want Song of the Deep, but it lost to Headlander, Batman and Abzu. I can only justify buying so many games in that time frame. I'll definitely pick it up on first sale though.

Fixed.
As a huge Yakuza fan....unless they can get that done in 1 year's time for each game, what is available is fine, just port or remaster them ala Yakuza 1+2 HD.
Only if you admit that the Wii U is dead too @_@
The Vita sells well in Asia, although I guess for Yanks, what goes on in Asia game wise doesn't amount to anything nowadays :V
Hey SEGA US and EU are with you on that, but the final word gotta come from SEGA of Japan and Nagoshi.

Phew thought I was the only one who didn't realize the new Deus Ex is this month.

Yes, you should.
You are in for a good time.
Ending is a bit divisive.
Oh right, Abzu is coming out too.
Damn it.

This is a great example of a problem I have with the anime aesthetic. I have reached the point where I (most likely unfairly) can't avoid pre-judging a game that uses the most generic clichéd trope ridden "anime" styling, jumping to the conclusion that the game will be utterly shit with vapid characters and abysmal plot / dialogue / over sexualised waifu bait etc. I am certain this is a terrible way to look at such a style and game, yet it has become unavoidable due to the sheer pervasiveness of it.
Meanwhile, the original Wii style, avoids all that with a style that has some originality / personality behind it even though it retains those same tropes, giving me the slightest hope that there will be more to it and similar personality to the game - and indeed from what I am told this is the case. Valkyrie Chronicles is another game where I had to be pushed into it to see past the styling and my assumptions (which actually hold a bit true in the whole story aspect) but the gameplay certainly challenged me to not judge the games taking that aesthetic so harshly, even though I find the stereotype to be true the majority of the time.
Really looking forward to trying out LKS

Deus Ex is out 2 days before my thesis is due
This means I must finish my thesis before it comes out XD

That would be a worthy celebration. Get to work!!
Along with Vanquish and Skies of Arcadia as the two cherries on top.
It will make it over to PC at some point, I am sure of it.

I thought No Man's Sky will be released this month.
Thanks, glad to hear it. I've heard about the ending being an issue for some people. I'll just have to see what happens when I get there. Great move to have the first episode for free as a demo, would never have tried it otherwise, despite hearing about it a bit on GAF.
What is a (few) good quick session games?

Yeah that appears to be the case. Probably something will happen this month.
It is, but there is no info about the PC version. Even the supposed delay of the PC version that everyone seems to have confirmed including the official site, hasn't actually been directly communicated to Steam / GoG users that have preordered. I would be highly sceptical of the game till people actually try it

So you prefer paying full price for a Tell Tale Game than for an Insomniac game which is the first studio release on PC? Edit: Okay, there is a bull game.
Plus we might actually just play Batman on Twitch, right?
Isn't that up to Sega, aren't Atlus just stepping in as the publisher for the PS4 version in the US region?

Going from a 3" to a 5" phone screen is quite a difference.
That DS emulator for android someone made a thread about on gaming side seems to work surprisingly well, had no idea.

Either Atlus USA or SEGA. In any case, it seems that they want to insist on the PS4 exclusive line.
Anyway, SEGA should unveil their next port in 2 months.

I did not know that. Technically, I am wrong, sure.
But come on, it is a 2 € game which I would have bet was a mobile port. I am flabbergasted that this game was their first Steam release! Edit: I am not the only one actually.

I mean, on top of that, are we not also forgetting insomniac have already made games for PC via Oculus Store. I think there are two or three already there
