Another old Interplay game gets Steam release
I wonder if the auction is still happening. It was announced just over six months ago now.
Edit: According to this thread, bids were due by September 27th. I'd say Interplay had a change of heart.

I don't know, there's way too many Japanese companies with weird Asian Steam releases that SOMETHING beyond just general incompetence is up. Some sort of contract, agreement, law, etc that either makes it hard, expensive, or impossible to release sometimes.
Sony Ireland are making it seem like Crash won't get a PC release because no one really wants to buy Crash but if they announce a PC version after people think it's not coming, then people will talk about how we need to support releases like Crash so that other games can come to PC and all will rush to Origin, GOG or Uplay to buy it.
Speaking of Oceanhorn, hadn't heard anything about the sequel since they announced it so I checked the website and they actually did an update post in January.
They too are now on the UE4 wagon, yay. Hopefully you can turn CA off in the final game. Looks like most shots have a mobile UI, but the one with the chest has icons for keyboard. All temp I'm sure though.

It really is super impressive just how much they've managed to rip off Breath of the Wild.
excessive UI, small areas, bright color palette, really close camera while fighting
looks more like Skyward Sword tbqh

Noice, I still have my original boxed copy.
If you mean ripped off Zelda, then sure. Oceanhorn is much older than Breath of the Wild tho.
Speaking of Zelda clones, there is that Zelda / Stardew Valley hybrid coming out, looks kinda neat? It has the Zelda structure but no combat, instead you farm and shit for quests.
Oceanhorn atm is older than BoTW. Other Zeldas? Yeah its younger.

I was referring to the sequel screenshots.
The original was a Zelda clone, this just seems to be taking the piss rather.

That's Crusader Kings 2? That reminds me to play it. I kinda want to get into those RTS making countries fight each other like Europa Universalis 4 etc.
edit: damn it, I confused that with Stronghold Crusader II

Understand that it takes a while to learn Crusader Kings II. Like, hours of watching tutorial videos, just to understand the basics.

It's an honest one.

I somewhat kinda confused Crusader Kings 2 with Stronghold Crusader 2, lol. No wonder I didn't play it yet.
I think I'll add CK2 and EU4 to my ITAD watchlist.
How can you pique my interest and then not name the game?
More like Skyward Sword actually.
Also, one of the tags in their blog posts is 'Zelda-like', they know exactly what kind of game they are making and it's not a bad thing.

It isnt. Enjoyed Oceanhorn.
I just imagine if a chinese developer would have developed that game, the outrage on GAF would be really big.

I dropped it after 2
It's just consistent, though. If the AAA industry has proven one thing, than it's the fact that gamers demand and reward originality. The best selling games are almost never simple sequels that simply iterate on an old concept with better graphics, but games that almost chart out new genres.

Agreed, I have very few actual problems with It as a game its just too dang long it feels like though I'm sure I put way more time in other warriors titles.
So are we pretending COD, AC and Battlefield (and so many others) don't exist?
I really don't think this is true.

Pretty sure he's being sarcastic.
Wait how'd I end up with 20ish hours in Samurai Warriors 4-2
Well at least with Berserk Musou I know what I'm gonna do, just beat through the game as Guts and call it an Eclipse.
Yeah this is like, the complete opposite of true...which is false

Why exactly has the Colin Moriarty thread got so much replies? :/

Because Sherlock wasn't able to catch him in time.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
It's the perfect thread for GAF. It involves PlayStation, politics correctness, sexism and Trump

Oddly enough I still have a boxed copy of this that I got for a dollar at Big Lots many years ago but never installed or played. Yes, I had that problem even before Steam.
My dream after the platformer indie boom was that the next thing would be Zelda-likes, so games like Oceanhorn have been great to me, even though they are imperfect.

It's odd how different the cinematic is from the game itself which resembles little of a cyberpunk aesthetic.
To be fair they dub it 'cablepunk', whatever that is.
