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

Too bad the Wii U isn't region free :/

meh. I say meh sir (madam? I dunno, spawn from hell more like it from the avatar)

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.

In OS X or are you using Windows through Bootcamp or something similar? Resolution scaling in OS X through the accessibility options works peachy for me but Windows has some issues with high DPI scaling and applications that don't play ball. Pixel Vision is a good skin as you can increase the font size in the options and I'm sure there are a few others too.

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

Ooooorr if you want to get technical and do a bit of leg work yourself and you could add it to the registry as a Windows Service. Should start up every time then unless it does something funky or needs a dependency like the controller plugged in on start up.

 

[Rhaknar]

to be fair I walked right into that one :/

 

[corrosivefrost]

Wow.

Not sure what's up with NingenJanai winning all of my giveaways...

What does it all mean, Basil?

When is the week up? I'm going to miss this avatar

 

[Beelzebubs]

to be fair I walked right into that one :/

It's only for one more day

 

[corrosivefrost]

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

It's a one time thing if you use the better project, DS3 SCP Server. Works with both DS3 and DS4. You can use multiple controllers at once. It just lacks DS4 touchpad support and lightbar customization.

 

[bluechox2]

that made me laugh, good one

Can't find that option in Accessibility...

A full list of KS Game Projects that Received over $100,000 and were funded at least one year ago

There Came An Echo - March 2013 - Ask Feep, but progress seems pretty good IMHO and they have external investments from Intel. Feep seems pretty scrupulous to me.

We'll be releasing in about half a year. I would have to literally die at this point for that not to happen. We're good on money (thanks, Intel!) and also have a lot of auxiliary benefits coming from that partnership: localization, QA, and ESRB submission among them.

I see they have created a security page.

I see they credit users who have reported bugs:

I see at least one missing user on that list.

It just runs in the background.

Yep the DA4 tool is nice and easy to use. Run it once and forget about it until you restart your PC.

Awesome bundle except I own almost all of it. I wholeheartedly recommend FATE to anyone who even has a passing interesting in loot-based ARPG games like Torchlight or Diablo.

Well that's just too bad.
Better just sticking with a 360 controller.

 

[Mokoi]

Well yeah it does, but if you unplug the controller you have to stop/start it again. Which still requries some effort that many people are not willing to put in. For example, Rhaknar is exactly that person. ↓↓↓

Then unfortunately using the ds4 is not for you.

It shouldn't require a new stop/start. I unplug and replug it in all the time and it just works. Maybe it's different with BT.

[More_Badass]

Not The Robots looks hilarious

It's a fun game. I really enjoyed it

Impressions:

Strip away the weird furniture eating, robots characters, and roguelike elements and you'd still be left with a unique and challenging stealth game where the only way to win is to remove your cover.

Not The Robots is a randomly generated stealth roguelite where, rather than lurking through dungeon tunnels or planning turns, you're evading sentry bots, avoiding lasers, moving over dangerous floor tiles, and myriad other hazards as you progress through the procedurally generated floors of various buildings. Your uni-wheeled robot can roll fast to quickly break line of sight of armed sentries or keep up with a moving laser grid, as well as crouch to hide behind obstacles and avoid other dangers. To complete a floor, your robot must devour a set amount of furniture per level to unlock the exit and there in lies the strategy. Removing furniture means less places to hide, less barriers to block lasers, and makes getting to the exit that much more challenging; it even adds slight puzzle vibe to the game, as planning what furniture to remove will help your escape, especially since sentry patrols will change once you open new paths.You have limited health and your only course of action when seen is to run and hide. Better scores are earned by eating all furniture, taking no damage, not being seen, and upon death, you rank up and can unlock permanent upgrades.

This is kind of a weird aside but does anyone have a code for The Walking Dead Season 1?

I know they were doing it in a bundle at some point and I missed it.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Well yeah it does, but if you unplug the controller you have to stop/start it again. Which still requries some effort that many people are not willing to put in. For example, Rhaknar is exactly that person. ↓↓↓



Then unfortunately using the ds4 is not for you.

That's a lie. If he installs the SCP DS3 service, it's a one time only setup and then he can use both his DS3s and DS4s.

Wait, what?

It's worth way more than that.
