I doubt 428 will be put aside just so Spike Chunsoft can release an otome game. I'm too surprised it's winning over 428. However, seeing that the demand is high for 428, Spike Chunsoft is probably wise enough to know it can sell good on Steam. And lately, SC has been making the right moves when it comes to bringing their titles to PC.

Yeah but we're not just talking ports here. These are games that don't even have a localization yet. I'd be less concerned if it was competing with an already localized game. That seriously complicates things.

Localization is expensive. I seriously think they'll probably go with just one. Even if they do decide to do 428 after, KBO bombing could jeopardize that.

DR1 should be a good way to tide Steam owners over until DR4 comes out 3 months after Windows 10. Though I do get the sense that the first game will reign superior.

Also it's so nice to finally get a good port of a Dead Rising game after DR2's GFWL and DR3's 30FPS cap.

Was suddenly reminded of a dream I had yesterday. After booting the system the CPU cooler fans started choking from dust, then completely stopped. Grabbing the datavac and mumbling to myself about forgetting to clean them this month I went to shut down Windows when I noticed Sublime Text now had a minimap navigator toolbar in the taskbar. 'Cool.' Just as I had enough time to process the new feature and wonder why the taskbar was also pure white I see an IE icon auto add itself below the start button...

...and that's when I saw it...

WELCOME TO WINDOWS 10

"Microsoft NOOOOOOOOOᴼᴼᴼᴼᴼᴼᴼᴼᴼᴼᴼᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ"

Feeling utterly defeated after the efforts to prevent it I stare wide eyed at the options menu presented. I can roll back to Windows 8, 7, XP, 2000, or 2000 ME. Exploring my other options I let out a small sigh a relief as I consider my daily backups.

I then glance at the system date and notice it's the same day my old backups are automatically overwritten.

If Kenka Bancho Otome wins, it's cool for me, long as the game is good.
Heck if anything, it's the crazed Vita community that mega voted for it; if it is any consolation, just expect it to NOT get a Vita release and only a PC release :p

Wrong thread.

However I will say that Northgard game looks pretty good. A departure from the Evoland games the developer made. Looking forward to seeing more.

I saw the trailer but I only got that you are building things with resources you get from nature and then fighting mythological creatures, have they release more info?

Absolutely. I like how this just happened and they didn't address it at all. The "head rubbing" and "personal brand" parts were hysterical. The kind of banter I usually expect from the noob stream where Pyrion usually resides, but seems they didn't bother with it this year and just upgraded him to the main desk

haha thanks for sending me the link, i haven't actually watched any of the videos before, that's amazing

also redeye puppet is like super spot on, i knew the puppet looked familiar and then i realized it was that guy from the iem league tournaments lol

I swear to god if we lose 428 forever because of fucking KBO I will be so unbelievably pissed.

This is one of those things I've been holding out for a long time for a localization for, right next to Valkyria Chronicles 3 and Mother 3. It's so infuriating to SEE it slipping from my grasp right in front of me because of some dime a dozen dating sim.

You see the sales, the chewier, more unique, and less rote Japanese games get ignored if pitted against the opposite.

Well as far as I am concerned the issues of "60fps" is hype culture at its finest, the company were vague, people speculated and stuck with it, then get dissappointed despite people logically concluding it probably wouldn't be so performant.
Click to expand...

But there was a Sony employee saying the ps4 version is running at 60 FPS just a few days ago on this very board.

I don't think you can blame the users there.

It's a basic 3D platformer with a cute aesthetic.
It's short, the controls are floaty, the camera doesn't work right some times, and stuff clips through other stuff. Overall it feels like a final year project at a game development college course more than a fully realized product.

However, it's fun, it's cheap, and it has local coop as its stand-out feature (I'd have never played it if not for that).

maybe not... digital foundry E X P O S E D the PS4 version as being locked at 30
but the game was demonstrated at 60fps.. PC EZ

also the IGN look a few months back (?) they had Sean playing on a PC w/ a PS4 controller (confirmed by IGN) and it looked pretty good

I still wonder what is the point with naming tings when there is really big chance that nobody will ever see it. Cool you named something and not you or anybody else will ever see that name in a long time. Even if somebody manages to find same planet and same animal what's the point?

Naming things is cool.
Literally every game is objectively better if you can name stuff yourself.

So, regarding NMS, is it possible or no to see/interact with another player? Because I'm reading that thread in gaming and sure I can't understand this simple thing: from one side there are people saying you can't, on the other side there are people saying you can and server issues caused problems of players being unable to see each others, in the middle there's the NMS twitter account which apparently doesn't give a crap, keep posting vague tweets without providing a clear answer.
