Steam should add an auto download/install button on pre-ordered games when you are unable to download it on the moment of release due to not being there or sleeping.

Ooooorrr mandatory preloads. Essentially that would do the same thing as you're wanting due to automatically unpacking when the game has released plus for the internetedly handicapped like myself get a chance to play something on the day it comes out.

Started playing P3FES again on PCSX2 and goddamn it looks pretty good with 5x internal res(Don't mind the shitty artifacts because i uploaded a PNG file to imgur).

How can you handle that shitty aspect ration on UI elements?
I'd much rather just play in 4:3, shit was hideous in Digital Devil Saga.

There's a way to fix the UI so the entire game displays properly in 16x9. Don't have a link handy though, sorry.

Last time I checked both Persona 3 and 4 suffer from a lot of moonwalking when widescreen hacks are used.
Is that still the case?

I really, really want Steam version of Zestiria to outsell both Sony consoles.

I mean, I know that Bamco doesn't need much more convincing to support Steam, but maybe someone from AtlusSega will finally fucking take notice.

If some genius can find a graceful way to intercept and decouple a vast array of games' UI and display it at a different resolution to what the game is rendering at I'd pay them a small fortune. Possibly the biggest grievance I have with trying to play mouse centric games on a TV. Then again I did try to be a clever dick and got a 4K TV which has just made the issue fucking 4 times worse!

Was last time I played them. Then again it's due to how characters are spawned into the game world as they'd be off screen due to being designed at a 4:3 output. Some games have missing geometry and other oddities, lots of Gamecube titles have a lot of objects disappear outside of the central portion of the screen too. As the name implies they're hacks not proper solutions.

If you're including Japanese sales then there's no chance.

Yup. I just remember some people were working on hack on top of hacks to make them more bearable, but I never checked up on that.

You mean... pre-loading? :lol

Finally!

Comes out during a time of year dedicated to scary games though.

Oh, you mean like AC:Syndicate?

Unmarked spoilers? Seems people in here have a penchant for doing that...

Honestly probably just as fast for me to just download it at the official launch time and not deal with unpacking at this point. Seems weird to put it up an hour from launch.

Well I might finish downloading Zesty this side of November.

Good luck to them. Last time I spent time with my head buried in Cheat Engine to just alter a games FOV angle it took 2 days to get anywhere. Then again the problem with integer strings is you're going to get a lot of results back :(

Did they fix the biggest problem with OlliOlli that made me drop the first game instantly? Later missions require do to make 30 or 50 spins in the same run, but there's no real time counter or indicator how many you pulled off. With all the things i need to do, i really don't want to start keeping count of spins i've landed and you just end up trying to spin every time and failing.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I use the widescreen patch. I have the folder with all the ps2 widescreen hacks on my desktop at the very least.

Last time I checked both Persona 3 and 4 suffer from a lot of moonwalking when widescreen hacks are used.

Yeas, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to take. Also moonwalking looks pretty fabulous.

Probably not.


Wait for it to be 75% off?
 
Just hope the port is better than 13 and 13-2.
I want more than just serviceable.

The port will likely be the same quality. So if you're hoping for better, you're probably in for some disappointment.
You could always go buy a PS3 and just play the trilogy there for "more than serviceable". ;)

We're getting rudimentary and you know it.

As shit as peeps say XIII and XIII-2 are on PC they're both leagues better than the console releases. You'd have to have an old, old GPU to be on the same level even.

I'd wager a decent amount of the delay for Lightning Returns was the Dive In stuff, and then later the other FF games launching on Steam like Type 0, they probably wanted a bit of a buffer. So not extra work time, just scheduling issues.

The Type-0 port I hear is better than XIII and XIII-2. So if we can at least get that level i'll be happy.

Thgere's also a cartoon in th works.
Honestly Megaman games are short, they shouldn't aim for something big or grand. Something like 9 and 10 is fine; 8 bosses, give it a good sense of replayability and you're golden.

My brother's MOST played handheld game is Maverick Hunter X, maybe Capcom can look at X1 and MHX for ideas on how to offer a good replayable Megaman game.

You all joke but Mega Man is gonna come back. I think Capcom has figured that if they keep in in the realm of stuff like 8 and 9 they'll be golden. His games fit great for digital type stuff.
I don't think there's any hope for bigger stuff though like MML3. I say this not even caring about Mega Man.

Type-0 was released on PS4. So unless they're revamping the XIII trilogy for PS4, I don't know that what you say is reasonable to expect.

I would like to think such a delay meant they put more work into the port this time.
13 and 13-2 were pushed out rather fast to coincide with the cloud based releases in japan.
Don't think LR even got released on that service, so one can hope.
