This gives the people actively present a better chance to win.

Some people, like myself, aren't present during "raffle prime-time" due to living on the opposite side of the earth to most of this thread's residents :p Equality for all!

Soma Prequel?

I was going to say it feels a little too soon for another full-length game as opposed to an expansion, but Soma released just under a year-and-a-half ago now. Time flies.

You guys are going to be so disappointed with me... but I rebought Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY on Xbox One.XD Mostly to play the DLC and have something until Mass Effect. I kind of can see all the hate now for the game, it is very MMORPG:Y and while I still like the game I kind of wanted a little more living world, now that we have Witcher 3.

I have to say thought, Dragon Age Keep is still such awesome idéa! I was able to import all choices and stuff from Dragon Age 1 and 2 into both PC and Xbox One version. That is so much suporioir to having to import savefiles. Steam should have something like built into Steam, that works across all games. Just imagine being able to see what you've done and choices you made in games throughout the years. If it would be built into Steam there would even be possible for any game to reference other games, thought that is still possible through achivements.

Yeah thought the same. Any rumors surrounding FG?
Click to expand...

Nah, but there is this blog post from last March:

Future
I mentioned above that a problem with SOMA is that it lies between two genres. Not only has this probably led to lost sales, it's also most likely the reason why SOMA cannibalized the Amnesia sales. The moment that SOMA came out, sales of Amnesia: The Dark Descent went down too, and has stayed down ever since. We saw the same happening when we released Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, but since SOMA is in many ways quite different from Amnesia, we thought it wouldn't happen this time. But it did, and the reason seems to be that people lump both titles under a "Current Horror From Frictional Games" label.

In order to combat this issue we're thinking about differentiating the games we make a bit more. So if we make another sci-fi game, we'll probably tone down the horror elements and make the sci-fi narrative more prominent. The reverse would be true if we made a new horror game. The idea is that this'll not only let us reach a new and wider audience, but also minimize the risk that people will mix up our games, and instead they'll see them as separate entities. With SOMA it feels we've made it clear that Frictional Games is not just about pure horror, and we want to take advantage of that and diversify the experiences we craft.

Related to the above is our new internal development strategy. For the first time in company history we're now developing two games at the same time. This will require non-trivial changes in how we manage the team, but in the end we're very sure it'll be worth it all. By having two projects going at the same time, we can release games at much higher frequency. In turn, this let us be more experimental as we don't have to rely as much on each new game being a big money generator. We're still in the early phases of this transition, but it's shaping up really well so far.

It sounds as though portfolio diversification is the primary goal, so I wouldn't be surprised if neither title is survival horror-oriented.

Did the latest Humble go down like a lead balloon or something? $1 for Valhalla Hills seems good though there are a hell of a lot of repeats so not sure if I'll push it to Turmoil, on my wishlist, let alone Verdun.
Click to expand...

Turmoil's a lot of fun - it's a light economic engine builder, with some mechanisms in place to stop you from steamrolling ahead of the NPCs, and some nice tech tree upgrades. I dug it (pun intended).Presentation is simple & to the point, and captures the theme well.

Thanks for the digging :)
I guess a prequel could totally be in another genre, or with less horror and stalking enemies. I could totally see FG making a Gone Home - like game. They have the narrative skills for sure.

no, it's not locked at 60 fps, but as you will struggle to get 60 fps, no matter how good your PC is, that's really irrelevant.

edited: I might be exaggerating a little here, it probably runs just fine on high end GPUs.


edit2: btw, someone from KT have seen your post about music DLC

Atelier 4K on Sophie it ran at 144FPS. At 4K here the game has no AA and uses the same engine, but I get 70-80 FPS.

How did they take a giant leap backwards?

No. It runs at arbitrary framerates, they are just arbitrarily half of what they should be.

That's an overstatement though. it runs at ~ 100 FPS here on a 1080 at 2560x1440.

Refund money still pending, come on Steam. I figured that choosing steam wallet as refund target would have sped up the process to couple of hours or something.

Hohum.

Wow, i hope so!

Gonna play anything they put out, even though I've lost much hope that they'll ever get as experimental as they did with SOMA. I read they wanted to go for both purely narrative experiences as well as more horror-focused (aka jumpscare fests) Amnesia-type of games since the odd hybrid that SOMA is ended up hurting them. So I expect if this is indeed a new project it will probably be the first type of game, based in the SOMA universe, though I'd very much rather they left it alone though. SOMA doesn't need a prequel nor a sequel, it's perfect as it is, move onto sth new.

The game is looking pretty good though at least.
Click to expand...

Yeah. Quite liking the increased scale and focus on variability over just another sequel. I got fairly bored of both Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max since it felt a lot like mindless busy work though admitedly I was having more fun with SoM and got more interested in other things. I really liked the nemesis system, so building upon that should be good

I actually agree with you. They said there is more than one project, probably one of them about SOMA. Universe was so cool and they gave so much effort (and money) for it, so they can use that and i think there is so much potential. (hope will not be jumpscare fest for sure, Soma consistency was good for me)

Shadow of Wardor seems like an improvement over Mordor, but it's hard to say how the army actually plays into it beyond random cutscenes of some orc in blue armor doing a thing? You are clearly still overpowered as hell, so do you actually need an army at all?

I regret buying Ghost Recon Wildlands outside Steam. Game runs like a turd on my pc, and it's also not that fun. Live and learn I guess! :x
