It's not a open-world title, FWIW, so shouldn't have any stuttering issues.
Well I was more thinking along the lines of resolution, aspect ratio and framerate. Being a competitive fighter played primarily online I expect 2 of them to be locked down pretty tight. But it's UE3 and there's a whole host of things you can monkey about with so who knows.

Whoa, didn't know Melty Blood is coming to Steam.

Why am I unable to find a good quality WEBM/GIF of this or his intro?

Yup, even FFXIII-2 got a pre-purchase period. I still call the "port is a mess" card.
It took way too long, and the infos released are not exactly so good.

WTF is a "club" and what the hell are "transfers?"
This is a basketball management game, right?
Probably started as a mod to the soccer management game. Almost the same game anyway. Just replace hands with feet.

If Dr Dogg was interested in the Japanese media culture, I'd think that he'd at least give the English language a break over there.
Let's ask the Ms. Universe people what they think first.

I was planning on entering via letter, on one hand this saves me some effort but also reduces the chances to win significantly. :/
More leaks on SteamDB it seems
424790 Added name Akaneiro: FREE
413770 Added name pCARS 2
411830 Added name SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS
Senran Kagura was officially announced earlier this year. Don't know about the other two.

They really should have done crossover costumes. Just like RE3 had.

How have Valve not plugged this? It's been nearly 3 days since everything started leaking.
Do you think Devs / pubs are going to be annoyed by this? At the very least it changes their promotional plans, I assumed the Arcsys press release today was down to all their games getting leaked?

I doubt the press release is due to the leak considering they are releasing Xrd in two days. Doesn't seem like they got caught by surprise.

Already have it on GOG but wouldn't mind to have one of the best games ever on Steam too...

There was a lot more than Xrd in the press release (I'm referring to their 2016 line up statement, not just Xrd btw)

Hope they announce Estival Versus for PC before the Vita & PS4 versions come out.
That was quite the logical leap.
Well he might not be wrong. Kagari has said plenty of times that the engine for Lightning Returns is a mess for PC which is why it took so long.
Ofcourse, we cannot say for sure the Lightning Returns for PC will be a bad port, but the engine the game used didn't work well on PC.

In fairness, it is a fair assumption. Almost every FF port they've done has had some technical problems, ranging massive perf issues to sloppy options.
I'm trying to think of the ports that they've done which haven't had some technical limitations...the DS ports have problems, the PS1 ports have problems, the XIII twins have problems, I'm not so sure about V though.
However, Type-O was surprisingly competent from what I remember so hopefully that bodes well for LR
Squares best PC port to date is unsurprisingly XIV (it really is tremendous, even by admittedly low MMO graphical standards, it looks brilliant, runs fantastic and was patched with DX11 features, some of the best screenshots I've even taken have been in XIV)

If I can at least get stable 30fps and 1080p I'm content.

No chance
Why would they announce EV before SV is out on PC?
Jawmuncher

"There's always a chance"
For your edit: we don't know the actual dates of SV on PC and EV. Also they're sequels to one another not updates like Xrd. Would be like Square going "we're bringing FF3 to you this winter and FF4 next year!". Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch.

Framerate Police have been contacted.
He's more than likely correct as this is Square, just pointing out that the steps used to reach that conclusion, no pre purchase period, long dev time, aren't relevant.
That's the Japanese port sweet spot.
They don't like going over 30 FPS, they don't like going over 1080p.
What's going on over there? At least some of these companies are improving, From is a perfect example.
Oh yeah, my bad I misunderstood. I'd say it's likely that the leak influenced them to reveal their line-up for the foreseeable future to this extend.
I do also think that it's in ArcSys interest for their upcoming releases to be known in advance rather than their usual procedure of revealing their next release only a few days before it unlocks. Excitement for an upcoming release and especially sharing that excitement in a community like for example this thread can really push sales for a game, as seen with Tales of Zestiria (although there also was the added bonus of the preorder game)

Are those different from physical version?

We know enough about the dates, EV is Q1 2016, current placeholder is early February, SV on PC was announced for summer.
They're spin-offs without much important story, from a gameplay perspective, EV is pretty much SV but better.

A recent talk by Chet had a slide putting Valve employee number at 300. Did it go down again from 350-380 since the summer?

Can I ask a question? How many of you that have experienced a PC title that had less than stellar performance and options have contacted that publishers/developers support department and made them aware of said issues? If so how often do you and what tolerances do you ignore or report them?

Wow, might turn out to be the 4th time I've owned MOO2. Still have the disk that came on the front of a cereal packet!

I call them out of the steam forums or refund immediately. The CS for all games I have ever tried to push further sucks. "Have you tried restarting or reinstalling the game?"
I contacted the executive producer of Crysis 2 through his personal Facebook account when I had some performance problems.
Nathan Camarillo I think his name is.
Fun fact: To this day Im still on his friends list.
I had (still have) a crash on FFIV After Years during the ending cutscene (preventing me to save my game for NG+), contacted SE, after like two weeks I got a reply in which they told me to disable my antivirus (I already gave them dxdiag report), fact is I didn't have an antivirus installed, so I dropped the ball and uninstalled the game.
In another case, for Shovel Knight, there was a typo in the italian translation of the game, I reported it to YatchClub and they fixed it.
I think if you report an issue to a small, indie dev studio, there's a change it gets actually fixed, while big studios will just ignore your message.
So no then. So a couple of years ago, maybe even three now I posted in one of the PC Perf threads here about a title that had some UI scaling issues. Nothing most people would pick up but a couple of the UI elements had hardcoded positional elements that didn't adjust correctly to resolutions over 1920x1080. I posted a few example pictures, thought nothing of it and carried on playing the game not expecting it to be dealt with. About a week after that post a developer for that game PMed me saying thank you for picking up on that issue, that it had been passed on to the team and about 2 weeks later was addressed in patch. I was kind of taken a back that just a slight observation on my part led to an issue being fixed. Since then I've made a more concious effort in reporting bugs and issues and not just posting on GAF about them.

Do your PR contacts ask you for any bug submissions when you do reviews and such? A couple of folks I've worked with that used to work for Future Publishing said some were really keen to get them while others weren't really that fussed at all.
Hahaha well I'm sure we all have horror stories from support reps giving baffling advice, just look at that Steam Support post zkylon posted the other day that took 3 months to say restart the client. I think things like translation errors and other smaller issues that are apparent and effect everyone are usually fixed more over than situation errors that could result in being from something due to a users hardware configuration. I mean christ even simple looking games on the surface are mechanically complex underneath.
Regarding GMG, did they announce the new reward program?

Dogg I see that working with a Indie dev. Really don't think that would pan out for a AAA game (unless it's a mass problem) or a Japanese developer who is just ignoring the thread (tecmo koei).
For example if I had an issue with Cook Serve Delicious, I would try that. If I have a issue with MGSV, all I can do is pray that the community has a fix or that it's a big enough issue that Konami looks into it.
