Yeah, that the game is unlikely to truly be HL3 is two-pronged:

- Left 4 Dead 3's subs didn't leak and it's much further along, and
- The app is far too recent for something that has been in on again/off again development since at least 2006 (Episode Three is old enough to fit within the 0-890 range Valve seemingly reserved for itself, I'd imagine)

I wouldn't be surprised if Valve now develops games using an entirely separate branch of Steam, complete with its own database, precisely to prevent unannounced projects being leaked thanks to oversights like this.

When I saw the app, I thought about it like this: they (might have) finished development and are moving in for the final push, adding an app on Steam, doing whatever testing they want to do with the Steam integrated, etc.

I agree that might be unicorns in the sky, though (and a separate internal version of Steam is completely possible, and even likely).

Quick stuff from interviews

-they made multi-release since they would have to cut stuff out if they made it in one game. The detail of the game will be so dense, and you will be able to go to various locations within Midgar that you couldn't go before.
-there will be some stuff that has to be cut, but there will be lots of stuff added. overall volume will be big
-They are working with various companies outside, including CC2
-The battle system is real-time, action feel. The degree of action will be "Dissidia > Kingdom Hearts> FF7 remake" It will be more tactical.
-Although it's action style, it has ATB as well.
-You can control other party members, but you can keep control one if you want
-3 party members at a time like the original

Sounds promising.
 
Yeah, that the game is unlikely to truly be HL3 is two-pronged:

- Left 4 Dead 3's subs didn't leak and it's much further along, and
- The app is far too recent for something that has been in on again/off again development since at least 2006 (Episode Three is old enough to fit within the 0-890 range Valve seemingly reserved for itself, I'd imagine)

I wouldn't be surprised if Valve now develops games using an entirely separate branch of Steam, complete with its own database, precisely to prevent unannounced projects being leaked thanks to oversights like this.

Yeah, it's just weird that Valve themselves got leaked from their own database. At least the other leaks are still safe, except a couple Sony games like Dreams and Journey which are doubtful.

Sounds promising.

cut content?


it's gonna be Mog House isn't it?

There's a contradiction right there though.
- They made multi-release since they would have to cut stuff out if they made it in one game.
- There will be some stuff that has to be cut, but there will be lots of stuff added. overall volume will be big
So will stuff be cut or not?
 
I updated the list with the important titles that were found yesterday and used YianGarugas list:

No we're pretty much done, I don't think lots more will show up. This list is good but missing a few things

What WILL be cut is quite vague. I think you can rule out on gameplay/quests being cut, instead it's possible some story elements might be cut as it is a remake and newer ones would be added instead? That's just my opinion though.
 
Hey guys, can you recommend me good and cheap computer headphones amplifier? The builtin motherbase can't properly drive my AKG-141M :\

Isn't it kinda got debunked by JaseC?
It's not in active development.

Ofcourse it is...

One of their slaves interns are working on it 24/7 with a tube in his arse feeding him nutrients; Laidlaw spends aproximately an hour a month writing the story.

It's active as hell!
 
Just finished Her Story in one sitting, took about 4 hours and got all the achievements, it was an interesting game, the story stuff had some cool twists and stuff I didn't expect. I really would like more games like this, a mix of this, Contradiction and Papers Please style gameplay would be a really cool thing.

All right. Here are the results for the free copy of DARIUSBURST.

header.jpg


I'm only showing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

1st: Blu(e) - 12
2nd: Seraphis Cain - 11
3rd: Durante, Trailmix, InfiniteNine - 10

I'm going to keep my lists confidential, since I'll probably be doing something similar to this again for the next big release out there. This also lets people know how close they were with their lists this go around. With that said, my mind also changes with time and new releases.

Thanks to those who played.

So I heard Guilty gear Xrd has a great tutorial.

Hoping it won't be too hard for me to learn it.

It's easy to pick up but mastering it will take a while.
The Systems aren't that difficult to figure out though.
Do note that you will spend your meter, not on super moves but for canceling specials and attacks to keep the pressure on.
GG series have a mainstay system where the lower your health, the less damage you take from attacks.

Because people (like me) don't want take out 70€ for each part, since FFVII was a single game, even if each part is 20 hours long or so (so the same lenght of today's single player titles).
It's a crappy thing to do, and SE is doing it because:
-FFVII was a long game, around 70-80 hours in order to see all the content
-they use this so they can split the game into several titles and selling them

Of course this is my assumption, but they talked about "multi-part series", not an episodic game, so I believe each game will be full price.

I'm personally having the time of my life arguing against people defending every utter shit from the og game, like: eeeeeeh how dare they call it FF7 without the ATB, they don't want to preserve its historic value, bad Square bad.
People are crazy indeed.

Umh, I don't think its a gameplay related thing (in that case I'd agree with you), just to milk much money out of fans.

But even the episodic thing, can be both bad or good.
At first I thought it was a bad thing, because you know, an RPG inevitably brings with itself so many things, like farming, grinding, backtracking, harassing chocobos and flying around the world in your cool spaceship. All things that most likely will be lost in an episodic approach.

But if you think about it, FF7 is basically an RPG on rails, where you arguably don't really need to backtrack anything (except if you have fun waiting for ATB bars to reload), so going full-episodic can also mean a much needed streamlining of the game in favour of the actual story - which I guess is what we all loved about the game - padded out with some cool, flash and most importantly FAST fights.
