So I think I almost cleaned up my PS1 backlog, those are remaining titles:
-Suikoden 1 (currently playing it)
-Suikoden 2
-Grandia (I did this up to the final boss, but I couldn't defeat him when I was a kid)
-Clock Tower 2 (or 1, it depends if you count the SNES game)
-Chrono Cross
-Xenogears

So, what's missing from the leaks? I can only remember, Steins;Gate, but I guess there are still a few more?

The jury's still out on what exactly Journey is. We live in a time where Helldivers and EGTTR are on Steam, so it could very well be Sony's Journey.

Ahh I see, I hope Sony's Journey can make it to PC someday (or at least its sequel, or whatever thatgamecompany is working on lol).

At least we got ABZU for now.

CONTROL
• Weapons can be switched whilst on the move.

• Fireball and magical bolts can now be reflected back to the target with a carefully-timed sword swing.
• Enemies have vulnerability to steel, ice or flame weaponry, necessitating tactical switching on the fly.

• ‘Dash back’ now more responsive and effective.

MANA

• Improved sound balance between music and effects.


CAMERA
• Camera now keeps Bathoryn in-frame when falling and shifts position in anticipation to avoid ‘leaps of faith’


FRONT END
• Overhauled Save system
• Comprehensive options functionality.
• Tutorial recap function.

NARRATIVE
• 100% re-scripted dialogue.
• Additional background lore
• Fleshed-out story denouement and enigmatic epilogue.

I had a feeling that was what you were referring to. I was just joking.

Though, Capcom is running out of games to port.

Awesome. Let me know when it's acceptable to start begging in this thread.

It's really cool that they've given it such a glossing over instead of doubling down on it. The main complaint that I've heard was the "feel" of the character's movement, which looks to be reinforced in a number of different places in this list. Even explicitly in Control.

I feel sad now :")
Although, I disagree:
God Hand, Viewtiful Joe, Asura's Wrath, Okami, Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick, Devil May Cry HD, Resident Evil Code Veronica X,
Dino Crisis :"")
, there's plenty of games they could still port.

So, does the game still not have a proper finale?

The developer for Slain must feel very confident that they worked out most of the problems with the game in this patch that they are willing to include extra copies for owners. The best move you can do to revitalize your game.

They only sold around 7,000 copies. I thought the gifs that were circulating before launch would lead to more sales. I guess having a broken game killed the hype.

I really should play Xenogears and Chrono Cross one of these days.
And FFT, but the mobile version has a slim chance of coming to Steam at some point, so maybe I'll wait a bit.

I don't understand why TellTale sucks so much. They don't bother to translate their titles including italian subtitles if not in rare cases like Walking Dead S1 (like one year later) or Borderlands, italian is the only missing language, closing threads in their forum for people asking for a translation. I don't have a problem with english, but a lot of friends of mine don't buy TT games because they are not translated.
Also on PC we paid more for GOT and Borderlands compared to PSN, like 3€ for each. Now Batman is in pre-order on PSN giving The Wolf Among US, and PC users get nothing.

I tried FFT when I was a kid but I found it too difficult, and also I had problems with english. I will probably buy it again if it ever releases on Steam.

Just watched some Daredevil episodes in my virtual cinema, played Overwatch on a 500" screen, saw a Mongolian family in their hut and was on a boatride in Thailand.

Damn. VR is the real deal and I hope in 3-4 years we will have good enough high-resolution Headsets and GPUs for even better experiences.
