Given Everyone's Gone to the Rapture runs at 20 FPS on the PS4 I don't think the even more ambitious cryengine powered Star Citizen would do well there.

Dunno. Sure it would be extra work but I don't see how with a bit of optimization SC would not run on consoles.
Nzyme's point of SC devs touting the game for "the masterrace" and riding that train is probably a bigger reason.

Excellent analysis as always. Honestly though, I think it would have struggled on Kickstarter as well. The $30 entry price for the game is just too high. They lose all of their casual backers at that price point, and thus a lot of their buzz. I'd have probably tossed them $15, but $30 is too much. I guess it's at that price point because they targeted it as a console title, but as we know, console doesn't really drive crowdfunding except in very rare cases. It's sad, because I would really like to see them succeed, if for no other reason than that they are the most honest and open about the crowdfunding process of any developer. But I really think they priced themselves out of the market.
Tales of Zestiria tier 3 progress is now at 80%.
There was a huge 10% bump today. Don't be shy guys, go pre order it and get Symphonia for free.
Definitely going to make it now!

Well then I'll preorder tomorrow, early Monday then.
If it keeps tracking after they hit 100%, I expect a big upswing.
There is so much technology in this game that would simply break the consoles, it just isn't going to happen. Chris Roberts stated he wasn't against it, but he also wasn't going to compromise the vision to fit the hardware.
Maybe in the next gen?
Those of us that follow the game can tell you it just wouldn't work. It isn't some out of a sense of snobbery, but the consoles are too weak CPU wise and GPU wise. I'm not talking about things like the trailer cutscene, after all, ryse looked pretty good, but actual game systems.

Roberts loves to work with actors and this is by far the biggest budget he ever had to work with. If you have enough funds for the running costs, the overhead, the marketing department, keeping all your employees on solid salaries and still have some left over, well, you have to find other ways to spend those millions.

... 10 days ago, yes
Thanks. Saved me the effort.
The urge to drop $20 on Vermintide vanished after I had to empty the other two out of my cart. I may change my mind later, but usually with nuuvem, if one thing goes wrong with the bulk checkouts I try to do, I usually scratch the whole purchase. And in this case, since 3/4 games I tried to buy there in the last week have issues, I just said "ehhhhh.... fuck it." for Vermintide.

Impressive tech as usual.

I agree 100%.
I have problems tossing out more than $15-$20 for a kickstarter without a guarantee that I'm going to get something decent in return someday.
This is part of the reason I didn't back Bloodstained. And it's part of the reason I haven't backed Indivisible either (regardless of Lab Zero being awesome).

Some things really are just too grand for hardware that is 5-6 years old and wasn't even top of the line then!

I dunno, Rayge. It might make it. Sales are bound to increase as the date nears, even more than now. Plus, there's still one more payday for people before it releases.
Interesting analysis.
One thing to consider in regards to IGG, compared to KS, is that IGG takes your money right away, which can be a deterrent for backers to hop onto the project right away. I know I haven't backed the game because of that.
I'll back it toward the end and only if it is close to making it. Sure, if they don't get funded I'd get reimbursed, but between getting reimbursed and my money not getting taken at all I'd always pick the second choice. I'd rather wait the last minute to back in this case because with that money I could do other things during the month, like paying bills, buying food or just spending on other things rather than have that money locked down away until next month, when I'll find out if I'm gonna get the money back or not.
I hope the project pulls through, because the prototype is fun and I can see it becoming a really enjoyable game. I also respect their choice to go with IGG for the reasons they stated, though I do feel the project could have had a better start on KS.

Well they've slightly improved the key process. Now when I input a key it no longer hangs while processing the key, it now hangs after processing the key and throws in a 50/50 hard crash to desktop requiring steam to restart. It's progress?
Well, in Indivisible's case, you get a prototype to try and play right now, so you get to try first hand if the game they have in mind is the type of game you'd enjoy playing.
I'd say that's one thing in their favor.
Wow, so this is probably old news, but it's pretty disappointing. On top of everything else that was wrong with the game.

How do you guys categorize your games? It's starting to get ridiculous at 400+ games and need a better way to find something to play.
Sorting by progress just leads to a big list of shit I haven't started and going by genre doesn't show me if I've played/beaten a particular game.

It's like all the previous Ubisoft debacles have taught people absolutely nothing about pre-ordering from them.

Wow that is complete bullshit, false marketing 101. Unless those videos and images were EU exclusive and not intended for the US and they had marketing for the US audience that shows a digital copy then that's ridiculous.
disgusting shit.
Anyone who has never read a history of the Derek Smart flamewars really should, it's a fascinating look at internet history. It amazes me that in over two decades he doesn't seem to have changed at all.
I guess I'm sexy then.
I guess I still have some editing to do...
Finished Contradiction in one 6.8 hours sitting (with breaks, I'm not insane yet) and I have to say I rather enjoyed it. The actors are fantastic and so are the characters, the plot is intriguing and the game's really easy to jump in and play. I was surprised to find that, aside from a few uh, lucky findings, the puzzles made sense all the way to the end, and I never felt like I had to do too much guesswork to solve them either. The interface could use some improvements, like there's no reason to show objects that can't be used in interviews in the interview screen. It's not a big issue, but it does become annoying towards the end when you'll have a good number of objects and clues to keep track of.
Contradiction's major problem however is the ending. It's a bit underwhelming and while it provides closure, a bit too much is left unresolved for my taste.
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend this one even for people who don't like point and click games.

Played some Batman and it finally runs well on my 280x. The port was a mess at release but now the performance feels similar to Knight/Origins.
It's also amazing that people still believe any of Smart's lies hold merit.
Gonna keep that post bookmarked for future use though.

Thanks for posting this. I don't read the steam thread very often, but it is nice to see such quality still exists.
By genre and/or overarching series:

I wish tags would work for my local library so I could choose to search by tags like I could online
I categorize them by hidden and not hidden
Hidden means either the game is Trash/I didn't like it/Beat it and that I'm never touching them again
Non hidden means I plan on playing it/Currently playing/In the rotation.
Of my 383 games, 339 are hidden.
I wish this meant I've beaten a ton of games, but it just means I'm horrible at making purchase decisions.
I need to start doing this. I've fallen into Installed vs not installed and it makes me forget a whole lot of games even exist.
