Support NeoGAF

[GoldandBlue]

I noticed as more and more games from Japan get announced for PC you see less announced for Xbox. Not shocking I guess since those kinda games don't do so hot on but it's interesting to hear Phil promise they're coming but things look more dire for Japanese games on their system.

Wonder if MS is gonna attempt exclusives again like they did on the 360 (which worked out poorly for the Japanese devs.) I remember somebody suggesting MS should buy Falcom which would be awful.

After fiddling to get a smooth running NOLF I came across this article on Kotaku.
Sad to see what would've been a great release on Steam getting held back because of copyright mess.

Yeah, it sucks we can't have NOLF anymore because of multiple ownership, didn't the second game end in a cliffhanger?

After fiddling to get a smooth running NOLF I came across this article on Kotaku.

"We had managed to get a hold of the source code for the first game and the second game. We had already created a laundry list of updates and enhancements and bug-fixes that we wanted to do to the original titles," he said. "So, essentially what we would've ended up with was a definitive version of both of those games. We were about to commit a large chunk of development time in making sure that No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 were 100% compatible with Windows 8 64, Linux, OSX, had a full complement of Steam features, achievements, working multiplayer, dedicated servers… this is our baby, and we really wanted to give it every chance that we could, to make sure that people would play it again, and enjoy it to its fullest extent."

Kick told me that they'd "probably gotten overzealous" and had even created marketing materials for their re-release.

The xb1 controller works fine with android. Though you will need to update its firmware using the windows app as out of the factory the button layout is screwy on android.

XSEED/Marvelous USA update:

After the reveal of Cold Steel 1 and 2 for PC, app 427680 was updated for the first time in around a year. So it looks more and more like 427680 and 427700 are the Cold Steel games. However this means that titles 511680 and 538680 are still a mystery. It's likely that they're Senran Kagura PBS and Akiba's Beat.

Titles like Valkyrie Drive are published by Marvelous Europe and not XSEED, so updates and releases for it wouldn't happen under this sub. Looks like after this, we'll entirely be in the dark as for future PC plans. The video game publishing world is ever changing, and who knows what will be next?

Changes to Trading Cards

Instead of starting to drop Trading Cards the moment they arrive on Steam, we're going to move to a system where games don't start to drop cards until the game has reached a confidence metric that makes it clear it's actually being bought and played by genuine users. Once a game reaches that metric, cards will drop to all users, including all the users who've played the game prior to that point. So going forward, even if you play a game before it has Trading Cards, you'll receive cards for your playtime when the developer adds cards and reaches the confidence metric.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

So no idling anymore?

I dont really understand it. So the dev can say "Now they drop after 5 hours playing"?

Oh cool, they're actually selling a boxed FINAL FANTASY XIV: STORMBLOOD collector's edition for Steam user too.

Probably the only way you'll get the game on Steam outside of Steam.

Surprised 427680 was updated, i thought it was abandoned truth be told
With the timing of the update right after 3rd's launch I wonder if it isn't another Sara handled game like the Falcom PC games or Corpse Party (so, not a console port but something already on PC)

I wonder if Aquire is wanting to port Akiba's Beat to PC after how hard it bombed in Japan, I imagine they'd want to wait for numbers on the western console release before committing to a port

Hope Fate/Extella is one of those and Zwei II another one

Please be Brandish

Really doubt it, they'd probably prioritize Ys SEVEN and Celceta before Brandish if they were to finance other Falcom ports other than the Cold Steel games
And I imagine we won't see any before Cold Steel 2

Changes to Trading Cards

Is this retroactive or will it only be applicable to games releasing from today onwards?

I'm guessing games will only drop cards after a certain amount of users have unlocked a certain amount of achievements, left reviews and playtime etc. If not that then I have no idea which data they'll be pulling from. I wish they weren't changing the trading card system though.

Wouldn't it be better if this confidence stuff only applied to new games from new devs, and that games by devs who've proven to be legit don't need that stuff attached to their games?

 

[Endruen]

So no idling anymore?

I dont really understand it. So the dev can say "Now they drop after 5 hours playing"?

Technically, you still can idle them, they won't drop cards until a month or so after release I believe.
It's not up to the devs, it's up to the playerbase. If it's a legit game and not an asset flip made just for the cards, it will eventually drop.

 

[prudislav]

Changes to Trading Cards

After the release of Trading Cards, the number of players interested in them grew significantly, until it reached the point where the demand for cards became significant enough that there was an economic opportunity worth taking advantage of. And that's when our group of bad actors arrived, aiming to make money by releasing 'fake' games on Steam.

These fake developers take advantage of a feature we provide to all developers on Steam, which is the ability to generate Steam keys for their games. They generate many thousands of these keys and hand them out to bots running Steam accounts, which then idle away in their games to collect Trading Cards. Even if no real players ever see or buy one of these fake games, their developers make money by farming cards.

good point

 

[PandaPedinte]

Windows 10 updated to Creators update and already messed with my video card driver.

[Anno]

So no idling anymore?

I dont really understand it. So the dev can say "Now they drop after 5 hours playing"?

No it's more like the game will drop cards once some algorithm that Valve puts in place determines the game is being purchased and played by real people instead of card idling bots. For even kinda big games i guess its possible that nothing changes at all.

 

[sadblob]

So no idling anymore?

I dont really understand it. So the dev can say "Now they drop after 5 hours playing"?

Doesn't depend on the devs, Valve will implement that "confidence meter" and will decide if a game is genuine enough to allow the card drops. The devs can make the cards, but they won't get anything unless the game is "legit".

Idling will be the same I assume, except that obvious shit games produced to profit from the cards won't be allowed drops, and now we'll have to wait some time before getting drops from normal games.

 

[Hektor]

So no idling anymore?

I dont really understand it. So the dev can say "Now they drop after 5 hours playing"?

As i understand

That confidence metric is a system by valve to check wether a game is sold genuine and not only for cards, so idling is still possible but cards will only drop once cards for the game were greenlit

 

[Chairmanchuck]

The steam card move is pretty smart to manage and hopefully raise the quality of the content in the store.
