I'm more interested in the Modern Warfare Remaster than Infinite Warfare. I hope they'll sell the remaster separately.

Just wait six months and they will. In the meantime, they want to take advantage of your need for MW by only selling it with Infinite Warfare.

 

[Knurek]

I... I really hope Nvidia isn't so stupid as to release Pascal cards that are a) 10% faster than Maxwell equivalent, b) 30% more expensive.

I mean, sure, they have the discrete GPU market pretty much all to themselves, but that can change faster than they expect.
Let's not have the repeat of Sony's PS3 hubris situation.

This is the stupidest possible way to handle it.


Well, guess I couldn't expect much from Activision. That basically guarantees that the online MP of the remaster on PC will be very short lived. A shame.

Yeah, pretty sure they said the same thing about COD Classic.

Yeah there's nothing here that says it will forever only be tied to Infinite Warfare. They're being pretty vague about the future. Since if it was indeed planned they could easily go "Buying Inifnite Warfare is the only way you will be able to play this ever"

I read somewhere to expect a Titan ZX or whatever for Pascal. Not that many people buy that for gaming, but it will give them fastest single card crown. AMD is also only going to have 10% faster than Fury. They aren't even using GDDR5x, just vanilla GDDR5 and an efficient memory controller.

AMD's Vega10 is 2017.

Edit: this is from me talking to AMD's Rob H

Edit edit: not the titan part natch. Just the AMD stuff.

true...but it not being sold separately is all anyone can go off of right now

pretty sure that will change in the future but as of now you have to buy IW

 

[jshackles]

I don't think I've ever been excited about a Call of Duty game. I've only played a few (and even then, not for long) they just seemed like over-the-top exaggerations and/or modern military propaganda.

But I also don't play many multiplayer games, so maybe that's it.

Im pretty sure they said the same thing about COD Classic back in the day. But yeah at the moment it makes sense. Didn't expect it to be stand alone right away anyway. With how much they were tying the two together right now.

why didn't Infinity Ward wait till next year for MW's ten year anniversary

and what the hell happened to Ghosts 2 lol

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Modern Warfare is still $20 too. If Activision sold MW Remastered separately, it would probably be like $40 at least.

NVIDIA GeForce 365.10 WHQL Driver Released, Game-Ready Driver For Forza Motorsport 6: Apex

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Nyteshade517]

really hoping Forza Apex turns out well

or at least not entirely messed up

 

[spindoctor]

Yeah, even if they do sell the remastered version separately down the line, it won't cost a cent less than $30. Possibly even $40 because they know how revered the game is. And then it will proceed to never drop in price and people will flip their shit because Activision is selling a 10 year old game for so much.

I reckon if you want any semblance of value for money, look out for one of those $40-45 pre-order deals on small cd key sites like Funstock or Gamesplanet or just go straight to the grey market sellers who might go a bit cheaper.

If you really want to play only the remaster, there's no way you're getting it at any kind of reasonable price.

A friend told me that the game won't have any online functionality on PC. If that's true, then... yeah, another amazing first party port from MS.

Sylvio is a weeklong deal this week. Recommended by GAF's resident horror game expert Dusk Golem and RPS

$6.49/50% off

Not a game for everyone, it's very slow, but also quite chilling. You play as a soft-spoken foreign woman who goes to an abandoned amusement park and surrounding locations to exorcise the dead there and find out what happened there, a mystery that's surrounded the place for years. You do this by recording sounds in the environment, meddling with them with an audio player to form out messages, solving puzzles and taking out shadows as a story slowly unravels.

RPS' 21st best horror game of all time

The idea that electric voice phenomena – the voices of spirits captured in recordings – is a powerful one because the possibility of fragmented communication from beyond is both reassuring and terrifying. Reassuring to think that some semblance of the self still exists and might make the effort to leave messages for those left behind; terrifying to think that those messages might be warnings or threats, and that they are an ever-present part of the white noise and electronic waves that are the background to our lives.

Sylvio requires the player to gather recordings in an abandoned park, which is drowning in a creepy red mist that would make Silent Hill flinch. There’s a smart interface for manipulating the recordings on a reel-to-reel player, altering the direction and speed of playback, and there are puzzles to solve, some clunky and weirdly out of place, others sinister and satisfying. The game’s effectiveness comes from its willingness to resist shock, relying instead on a gradually increasing sense of dread that eventually becomes almost unbearable. In a game full of situations in which the player is straining to hear, how easy it would have been to startle them with a scream or a shout – instead, Sylvio relies on the power of its words and in doing so creates a quiet cocoon that, like EVP, is almost comforting until the penny drops.

Hey all! For the last six months I've rebuilt Sylvio in Unity 5. The graphics are now better, the GUI has been remade, the gameplay mechanic has been improved,and it now has full controller support for nearly all controllers on the market.

I am very excited about this major update, I hope you'll like it too.

If you find any bugs or strange behaviour, please mail your experiences to bugs@sylviogame.com along with your specs and the player log (if possible).

Now: A brief pause and then onwards to the development of Sylvio 2.
A thousand thanks for playing!

got my overwatch beta, loves

finallyyy

second Covenant reward[/URL] from Rosario's Fingers.
Vertebrae and Tongues are the easiest to farm since you can do it with a friend ala rinse&repeat since it's a guaranteed drop. It's time consuming though.

i only want the achievement rewards tho, i mean, i want everything, but i'm willing to grind up until the achievement

or not grind anything at all

i'm also leaning towards that

also what's do u mean you can do it with a friend?

We'll see about that.

Made some progress in Dark Souls.

Finally took down the Gaping Dragon with the help of a couple of phantoms (this summoning thing is useful!), then went back to fight that Moonlight Butterfly that had been kicking my ass before. This time I went as a human, and found a summoning sign near the boss door that I didn't know was there the first time around. I was expecting this to be a tough fight - it went badly for me the first time - but the with the help of this witch, it was a cakewalk.

Thank you, Beatrice.

Now I'm in Blighttown. I'd like to know what kind of a sadist designed this place. Rickety walkways, fire-breathing dog... things, every other creature's poisonous, little bastards with blowguns that inflict toxin... ugh. Hope all this heavy emphasis on status effects is just a Blighttown thing and not the way the rest of the game's going to go from here on in.

poison stuff is mostly just blighttown. there's many other nightmarish places tho, just not status effect related

also i just love blighttown, it's such a torture to navigate, that tension that you're gonna fall any moment is awesome and i just love shantytown locations in souls games, 5-1 from demons is like my favorite place in the whole series, it's like a total nightmare lol

 

[Knurek]

Does Danganronpa 2 end?
Or is it an endless trip into deeper and deeper layers of despair?

Blighttown sucks if you main pyro since the NPC that maxes out your flame is located there. Just having to go back again and again can trigger some nasty flashbacks, especially if you haven't picked up

1st time through Blighttown? Took my about 4-5 hours and countless deaths.

2nd time through? 30 minutes and 0 deaths. Just noped my way through.

Fuck that place.

Second half is so much better than the first. Last chapter is the definition of insanity.

Also, that Dark Souls post gave me some serious flashbacks lol, it's easy to forget that there are still Souls virgins among us.
Hang in there and say hello to O&S for me.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I like how a bunch of people saying "Ugh, I want Modern Warfare Remastered but not Infinite Warfare, how could Activision screw this up?" are proving exactly why the decision to bundle them is not a screw-up. You thought you were out, and they're currently pulling you back in.

 

[rtcn63]

Just think of it as buying Modern Warfare Remastered, with Infinity as the bundled-in plastic toy
