Oh that feeling when you start playing a game that you've looked forward to and the game just keeps crashing.T_T Reading around the net it seems to be a common problem with Wolfenstein.

I think I got spoiled by stable games for the last couple of years.. didn't even have problems with BF4.

Dusk Golem, are you hyped as fuck for that new Fatal Frame? Nintendo is bringing the goods for real.

Are we expecting that to actually be good?

I ask because I believe there was a fatal frame (spinoff at least) game for the 3ds that was panned.

If they made a Fatal Frame game on Wii U that is as good as I feel it could be, that might convince my girlfriend to let a Wii U in the house

Wow! Great post, 10/10, would read again!

 

[rtcn63]

I remember trying out the Fatal Frame on Wii (I've played FF2 and 3 on PS2), and jeebus, the walking was bad. Your character would move at a snail's pace, slower than prior games, and I couldn't go on.

I want this game so bad! Will be there on the 30th. I was watching someone stream the game using Rockband drums as the controller.

I have been watching this for a while. It's not on EA yet? My IRL friend won it from some speedrunning charity stream thing a while back and played it a month or two ago on stream. He was really fond of it.

Looks like it went somewhat better than I expected, only 1 winner, but I should have thought of that since it was the same gift link twice. Well, to make up to for my mistake, get this one (I triple-checked this time):

Awww yis

Thanks dude.

Now to see what the fuss is about Cook, Serve! I think a gaffer made it didnt he?

No, "pomf" is an onomatopoeia from a creepy comic. I imagine whoever helped popularize webm use at 4chan chose the domain for that reason.

But what else would we do on the bed other than watch webms, onii-chan?

Was surprized that I won "The Floor is Jelly" on steamgifts. Anyone played it and got a short impression for me ?

Here:

There's a fine line between gimmick and innovation. Stray too far to one side, and the mechanic meant as a hook seems uninspired, boring. Watching The Floor Is Jelly, it's hard to tell if its physics-based amorphous world is one or the other, but once I played the game, I can safely say that its titular idea influences all aspects of the game for the better.

The Floor Is Jelly is set in a weird abstract world where everything from the ground to water is made of the malleable substance. On the surface, The Floor Is Jelly is a standard platformer, run and jump over gaps, and dangerous spikes, wall-jump up narrow tunnels. The controls are responsive and simple. On that note, it' isn't the most challenging game, certainly not in the spectrum of difficulty of games like Super Meat Boy or even Braid. But those points aren't negatives; The Floor Is Jelly is a fun game, and the difficulty comes not from frustrating challenge but from the gradual layering of new interesting puzzle mechanics. From flowers that bloom in rain and those only sprout without rain (because they're part cat of course) to switches that rotate entire levels, and then switches that rotate only singular platforms, and later Guacamelee-style dimension swapping, The Floor Is Jelly constantly introduces new mechanics that add to the core gameplay in fun ways.

But the game wouldn't be as fun or enjoyable without its artstyle and fluid environments. More than just a simple art style, the jelly world enhances and adds to the gameplay and offers platforming opportunities that solid levels can't. The floor can act as a trampoline, boosting you to great height depending on the distance you fell. You can bounce under spikes by pushing the ground with your momentum. Not only that, the constantly moving worlds, affected by your every movement, is just a joy to watch and never got old over my playthrough.

The Floor Is Jelly is a charming fun puzzle platformer that uses its unique style to great artistic effect.

Good to see that they acknowledge the PS4 controller also.

I was reading up on Secret Poncho's yesterday and they state you'll need either a 360 pad or a Dual Shock 4 to play the game. Assassins Creed IV and Watch Dogs both work without driver wrappers with a DS4 as well. I think it's about time I bloody got one as they're not dropping bellow £40 anytime soon.

Here:

I finished it last night. What did you think of the last two segments? I needed a long sit down to wring all the stress out but they were really quite different to most platformers gimmick or hook kind if levels.

Hopefully we will see more developers supporting the controller natively and incorporating the correct icons in other games as well.

Has the wireless XB1 controller been patched into Windows yet? I was considering getting one, but am unsure whether the drivers support it and whether I need a different wireless receiver.

 

[UncleBiz]

wow, i knew c,s,d was fast paced, but i didn't know how crazy it could get. rush hours are nuts
lots of fun so far!

 

[Rhaknar]

how easy is it to setup a ps4 controller anyway? I know they never released official drivers (didnt they say they would? liars!) but Ive been wanting to set it up mostly for fighters, as I cba using my giant fightstick at my desk (and to be honest, I dont even like it much, especially for anything that isnt SF4...I guess ill always be a pad player at heart)

Yeah that first rush hour caught me off guard during my first play. CSD is the Dark Souls of the simulator world.

Super easy with Xinput PS4. It basically becomes Plug and Play as it recognizes your DS4 as a Xbox 360 controller. You just got to get used to the button inputs showing 360 buttons. I forget the link to it, but I'll look for the link to download the drivers unless someone else has it as well.

EDIT: found the link http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4-To-XInput-Wrapper Just follow this and your DS4 will be working on your PC in no time.

What's the difference between Gothic 3 and Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition?

I'm pretty sure the enhanced edition is supposed to be a standalone expansion for Gothic 3. From what I remember my friend telling me it's way more linear compared to the original, and is just a continuation from one of the story lines in the original.

Just wired currently. I don't believe Microsoft has announced some kind of proprietary wireless dongle solution as of yet.

Simple. Run the program and you are good to go.

All xbox one controllers are wired/wireless hybrid. The drivers have been released, but I believe they only work in wired mode at the moment if I'm not mistaken.

I'm pretty sure it will be localized. In europe, at least.

Ohh nice. I can't see whey devs don't let you swap the button prompts out if it's going to be a multiplatform games. I mean they're making them for PS3/4 versions so why not have it as a choice. It's not like Microsoft have a mandate that every PC game can never bear the Cross, Triangle, Circle and Square buttons. Well unless Sony are going to object but I doubt they care that much about PC outside of their SOE, Vegas and copy protection ventures.

I'd really love to have all controllers properly supported. I've grown accustomed to switching between them.

It needs to be connected with a micro-USB cable but, yes, it is officially supported. The drivers downloaded automatically once I connected my controller on a machine with a fresh install of W8.

so every time I want to use it I have to tun this Xinput thing, or is it a one time thing?

Then looks like all we need is for Microsoft to either release a new dongle or patch the old one...

Yeah you have to open up the program each time you want to use it.

Just got a retina Macbook and (I know it's not meant for gaming, yada yada) I was wondering if there was any plugin or something to increase the image quality within the Steam client. Pretty much everything is low res and even the text is extremely fuzzy. Didn't know if someone out there had made a patch to help with it.

No plugin or skin that I am aware of. Drives me insane.
