BTW, forgot I was going to mention that besides That Dragon I hadn't heard of a single one of those "impact" games, and they all looked pretty polished. The Iran game looked pretty high budget. Seemed odd that they had so little press.

1979 revolution is fairly polished to about telltale standards or so

i liked it quite a bit but it's very much not an open ended story and all that crap

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Jshackles,
ES is not showing instant sell for cards. How do i fix it? It's shows 1 click turn into gems tho.

Are you using Firefox or Chrome? I had to disable the instant sell feature in Firefox for the time being due to a bug that was introduced in Firefox 50.

So was Randy Pitchford's big announcement for today the overpriced Bulletstorm rerelease?
Click to expand...

Stop right there. Bulletstorm was an amazing game and deserves another chance. Plus on the PC it will be freed from the GFWL albatross. If successful, maybe we will get a proper sequel. Hate on Gearbox all you want but I'm happy for People Can Fly and Bullet storm getting another chance.

But people already know about this edition way before this. It's not even remotely a big announcement.
Pretty shitty too that previous owners get no love whatsoever.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the game! I'm all for this rerelease, just the price is not cool. It's setting it up for failure, or at least waiting for sales. $30, then you're talking!

It's not even in the top five best strategy games of the year. But I guess it has the name recognition to win these things.

Yeah... it's been a great year for strategy games. XCOM 2, Stellaris, and Total Warhammer, are all amazing, and there's several others that I haven't played that all seem widely praised.

Gonna be a real bummer when a Hearthstone expansion or whatever gets more strategy GotY nods.

Do previous owners get a loyalty discount?

Does the death stranding trailer feature gameplay?

Is there any precedent for a game receiving a loyalty discount from a game released by another publisher?

Gearbox wouldn't receive any royalties from the first game's release, so I can see why they wouldn't lower their profits for that reason. At the same time, fans of the first Bulletstorm are going to be most likely to purchase the remaster, throwing them a loyalty discount would sharply increase sales.

Yeah; just recently, Darksiders. Most of those who got upgraded to Warmastered Edition bought when THQ owned the brand, before Nordic bought it.

I just killed a man and took his chicken sandwich. I believe this is peak alpha.

It is kind of weird that the violence in the Witcher 3 gets more gory in later games as they simultaneously clamp down on the frontal nudity.

Are you sure it wasn't because you've had more skills or gears to trigger dismemberment later in the game?

And what did you mean by "clamp down on frontal nudity"?

I don't belive any of the realtime 4k native on PS4Pro things for Death Stranding... but the game is not going to be released for years so we will sse and inbetween forget about that.

It's just sort of baffling nobody has cracked the hunting on PC or console genre yet. Yeah, there's been a few games with console or PC ports, but they're all designed with the limitations of handhelds in mind and feel half baked.

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth had a loyalty discount from the original and a completely different publisher. In Bulletstorm's case though even a loyalty discount isn't going to offset that insane $50 price level. Gonna be interesting to see what sales are like, hasn't been a good year for Gearbox and this isn't going to change that I don't think.

It's coming to PC, maybe not day and date as PS4, but PC is very likely since they announced that initially.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't say they announced it, there was some Q&A where it was a question, but since then they've never talked about it, and clearly the game wasn't far along in production when that answer was given. Now they're using a Sony engine, crediting Mark Cerny, Sony is publishing, etc which makes me think that things may have changed.

If it is coming yeah, it's most certainly a timed exclusive.

It has a panel at PSX so I guess we will see how PR refers to it.

I'd honestly doubt it after they announced they're using Sonys in-house engine (and Mark Cerny), but we'll see, wouldn't surprise me either though cause they did say it was coming earlier.
