Games for Windows Live 2 Confirmed?

But seriously, I imagine part of the reason they're getting rid of GFWL is because they're going to announce something new shortly after.

After Games for Windows Live comes... Games for Windows Store!

Edit: I'd planned to buy ilomilo+ once I moved to Win8(.1), but being a port of an XBLA game I'm sure it'll come to Steam eventually.

I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel and it was indeed fantastic. The only issue I had was with Saucy Ronan being in it, as I just associate her with JaseC and it kept taking me out of the film.

Haha. Fortunately she only has a few scenes. ;)

In a world where Valve's biggest attempted competitors are EA, Microsoft, and Ubisoft.

Actually with GFWL closing down at the end of this month, I wonder if there might be an E3 announcement at Microsoft's panel about something of the sort?

You guys have probably mentioned this a long time ago, but I am just noticing it right now:

How long has Enhanced Steam allowed you to sort your games by size?

the one thing I envy from the Windows 8 store is the mobile version of San Andreas. Shit is already in widescreen with legit controller support and no hassles. What i would give for them to port all of the mobile GTA games over to steam so that I don't have to download over a handful of mods just to get those games up to modern standards.

With the "leaked" shutdown date of July 1st is now less than a month away and MS having not said a word, I think it's all but confirmed at this point that the date has been pushed back. I'd guess another six months (i.e. December 31st).

Wait, that news is obviously old and I probably already knew but forgot. Ah, whatever. Here's something new for the Vita fans: They finally fixed the crash bug.

Messily killing of your last platform potentially leaving several games unplayable or at the very least limited in functionality is hardly a sign of them prepping to launch a new platform.

Hell they haven't really even been supporting the storefront that actually already replaced GFWL, the Windows Store. After the disastrous launch where you had a couple exclusives most notably Skulls of the Shogun which bombed horribly thanks to being tied to the store. MS quickly gave up on that as an avenue for publishing games. And I wouldn't be surprised to see that on the chopping block next. No the only success MS has had in PC gaming in recent memory is republishing their back catalog on Steam.

I think if they had a new client/service planned they wouldn't have made a big deal about Fable Anniversary using Steam.

Rendering my hands-on video on Chronology right now in Sony Vegas. And holy shit, my voice sounds weird in my ears, totally different from what I think myself.

Going to watch Grand Budapest Hotel tonight, my most anticipated film of the year! I hope it lives up to The Life Aquatic!

that'd be a feat

it's still a great film

and in some ways it's probably the wes anderson film most similar to it, in some ways

Has 17-bit commented on the success (or lack thereof) of the Steam release? A cursory GS brought up nothing.

Xenonauts is apparently done? Version 1.0 released, even a 1.1 patch today.

ss_e74b74f49e31274eead970dfee55508b7e551723.1920x1080.jpg


guessing they'll take the Early Access label later today or tomorrow

edit: oh, apparently they'll officially release it in two weeks

“We have now released Xenonauts V1.0 on the Steam Stable branch, which marks the end of formal development for Xenonauts. This is effectively the final version of the game, minus any stability patches that may be required. Official release and leaving Early Access for the game is in about two weeks, but the remaining time is mostly going to be spent on sending out review copies, the PR around the launch, porting to Mac / Linux and getting the Kickstarter rewards sorted out etc.”

“There have been a lot of changes made since the previous Stable version. The game has a much smoother difficulty curve, more information for new players, new line of sight mechanics, much improved AI and all sorts of finer polish.”

The other developer, Plush Apocalypse seems just about dead - they list a new game slated for 'late 2013'.
Guess 17-bit is too busy with Galak-Z. I guess Humble should at least offset their porting cost.

Yeah it is pretty good. I usually play a few rounds on Vita before I go to sleep. Doubt I'll buy it on PC since it works so well on handheld.

Ya I was jumping through hoops in order to get San Andreas running and I was still running into frequent crashes.

Turns out you cannot have injectors running, Steam Overlay, MSI Afterburner, Fraps, etc. I tested the theory yesterday and I played for a few hours straight without issue.

I just want to say I fully support more Natalie Dormer in this thread. Saorise has had her time in the spotlight. I think it's time for her to gracefully exit. Sorry, JaseC!

I'm thinking of starting System Shock 2 later today. Not really playing anything at the moment, and it doesn't seem too long.

Any near-essential mods?

It's amazing how much Drinkbox improved from Mutant Blobs Attack to Guacamelee. The former isn't particularly great while the latter is one of my favourite indie games and a fantastic metroidvania/beat 'em up mashup.

A diaper is pretty much required if you plan to play by yourself at night.
Saves you the cost of buying new pants when you inevitably shit yourself.
