Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I was playing Epistory when it happened... The Humble Monthly keeps on giving. The charity stream isnt until Nov 5th so I'm sure I'll be up and running before then.
Yes thankfully I still have a full PS4 backlog as well as a 3DS, Xbox One and like literally thousands of non-PC games, I'm sure I'll find something cool to play in the mean time.

Do you mean OG Nier?

Updated today with the following news:
- We had a livestream but the video wasn't good and there were technical issues so we're not sharing any video with anyone
- We were going to record some gameplay video for backers but that hasn't worked out yet
- We are going to release a new demo sometime, we promise
- Then the rest of the update is some video clips of picking up a book in game, rotating it around in 3d, and reading text inside it
Initial KS: February 2013
Estimated delivery of final product: December 2013 (11 months of development time)
Date that the project lead kickstartered another game because Asylum was in the home scratch: October 2014. Quote from second KS: "And were still working on Asylum, which was successfully Kickstarted last year and is in the final stages of production (we promise, its really coming!)". (32 months of development time)
Date today: September 2016 (43 months of development time)
The entire projected length of development for the game from day one until day of release is the same amount of time it's been since the project developer said the game is in the final stages of production, and there's still no release date and they seem like they're at least a year away and they can't record footage of gameplay because there are so many issues, and also it's been 4 times the initial estimate for the project.
Cool!

I wasn't sure but I was suspecting this. But only maybe 2 to 6 months later. Maybe not even at all depending on sales of Setsuna or anything else not FF. In the end... it's coming day and date and it's gloriiiiiiiiiiioooous.
I don't think Squeenix has said anything on that front, but it's undoubtedly on the cards.

The challenge with OG NieR is who you'd get to do the port. The original studio (unfortunately) no longer exists, which means there's likely to be some asset loss (not guaranteed), and typically even if you hire an outsourcing studio to do the port they have access to the original studio to work with them and figure things out.

Why do so many racing games start with unskippable cutscenes? The Forza series, Burnout Paradise, Need for Speed Most Wanted - they all make you watch promo movies before the game starts.
Locked 30 fps, few graphic options, and overall just a basic console port. Nothing special about it, but nothing that makes it worse than its console counterpart.
Yup.
Looking back at project phoenix I should've seen the signs, but they caught me in my KS honeymoon.
You can always ask me for La-Mulana 2 updates if you need them btw.
You really need to start a "Stump's Kickstart Watch" site where you track stuff like this. Not only is this stuff intereseting, but your writing style makes it entertaining to read, despite the fact that I haven't heard of half of these Kickstarter campaigns before now.
OMG, sorry to hear that. Hope that never happens to me.
I'm playing Steins;Gate right now and just finished one of the endings. I'm playing on Vita.
It's probably the best story I've ever played (read?) in a video game. It's a visual novel so there's no real game play, but you do get to make some choices on whether you call/answer the phone in some cases that determines achievements and endings. The story revolves around time travel and conspiracy theories but it's also quite deep and is not afraid to get complicated and into the actual science and relativity theories. The beauty is in the way it develops the science with its own setting and story. It is absolutely the antithesis of shallow Hollywood time travel stories.
I'd definitely recommend it if you are interested in Visual Novels and anyone that likes a good story and not too worried about gameplay. I'd also recommend watching a few episodes of the anime if you're not sure about putting down the money to get it. It's pretty good, but because it's almost half the length of the VN, it's less detailed.
Steins;Gate 0 is the follow up about to be released in September. There are a couple of other VN in the same 'series' Chaos;Gate, Root;Letter that have not got a translation yet but they are not story related.
At least it seems with Obduction we finally got a legitimately good adventure game via Kickstarter!
Also, what's the situation with Last Life? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1717469366/last-life/posts/1527496 Last backer-only update was on June.

Didn't Stump make a thread about that? Maybe it was a long post I'm remembering.
I wouldn't think asset loss is likely to be a problem in this case as the studio was just the victim of consolidation rather than insolvency, plus I assume Squeenix pays more attention to backing up source data these days due to past faux pas (FFIX, KH1, and probably other cases). The proprietary(?) engine could definitely prove problematic, though -- for some reason I was under the impression that it was built using UE3.
Regardless, I hope Squeenix comments at some point and doesn't leave people to put 2+2 together as Microsoft did with Age of Empires/Rise of Rome.
Fast forward a few years and you'll probably find that you can play the latter on PS Now.

I don't think I could do game streaming... other than doing it from within my own house with my own equipment.

I don't see any of these happening. Especially the former. :")
The only thing left for me is DQXI.

Ouch. Good thing that it didn't happen while you were away from home.
Hopefully the insurance covers it, and you can get up and running again quickly.
And this time you should buy a surge protector for your surge protector. And
put it in a bucket of water, just to be safe
It'll happen. It always happens.
Bayonetta, Virtua Fighter, Yakuza, Persona, and Bloodborne. Remember this post people.
What brand did you use? If you have a BELKIN surge protector they usually come with a $200,000 replacement warranty.
Bloodborne is a first party exclusive tho, even if developed by FromSoft mostally.
Yeah. So was Helldivers. There is a chance. I wouldn't be surprised to see a NEO version of Bloodborne to be released alongside a PC version. Sony know's there is extra money waiting for them on the PC side.

More for them if they don't, they actually have to sell NEO to people that already own PS4. Unless while I haven't been paying attention Sony has somehow changed into very different company.
There's also Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian etc. just get cheap OG Ps4 to enjoy the games if you want to play them, I don't think I'll be "upgrading" from the OG to Neo unless Bloodborne 2 gets announced one day.

A Hat in Time?
A Hat in Time. I regret slacker-backing for beta access as the public build hasn't been updated in about 18 months and all of the other branches are password-protected.
To be honest i would want RDR Remastered on PC more than any of the Sony exclusives. But again i have PS4 and i love RDR that much so i am probably biased Sony is already better towards PC platform this gen with 3rs party exclusives coming to PC and now Remote Play, PS Now and official support for DS4 on PC.

What's their target release date again? I was under the impression that the game is progressing well.
Oh, it's still being worked on, but beta backers are stuck with an old build because reasons. It's due some time next year (Q2 at the latest, I'd say).
If I'd known that "beta access" meant "access to a particular beta build and nothing else until release", then I would have held off.

They claim to have completed 20 out of 25 levels.

I track everything on a Google Doc, which you can see here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lFW2sjShHriYRsyuVZx4Se8Qxjw38VJk4g-7cls8cpg/edit#gid=0
It updates every few weeks. It's a bit overwhelming to look at initially.
I believe when I first wrote the scraping code to do the first version of this, I posted my results here, but a Google doc makes it way easier to deal with.
I think he made a big post about it, though I'd love to see a standalone site somewhere. I imagine he'd get regular traffic from more than just the usual NeoGAF crowd.
Maybe he could fund it through Kickstarter. >.>
I'm still holding out for Anarchy Reigns.

Xander Mobus' Smash Bros GAF VO clips don't get enough use.
Next time Stump predicts a KS outcome: "Stumpokapow Is Right."
Just needs to be set to a SSB clip of Stump kicking a project off the edge as a crowd cheers.

Just an fyi, Jagged Alliance: Flashback never really got finished. The devs just kind of released the game out of early access when it wasn't even done then went out of business. They got mad at anyone that questioned the state of the game and why it was released when they still had stuff they hadn't finished iirc.
Disney should remake Magical Quest. Tighten up the controllers a bit (mostly for the climber power up)
I take it over Castle of Illusion tbh

How does it run? I seem to recall them kind of giving up on the PC version.

Yeah, I generally don't get into hair-splitting on that kind of stuff. There are a few projects that did get finished but messed up one of the physical rewards, or cancelled last-gen ports, or other kinda shady stuff, or didn't finish some of the stretch goals, or otherwise did something kinda scammy. I occasionally leave notes (like The Fine Young Capitalists under IndieGoGo went from a very early early access version to final release days after saying they had indefinitely delayed the game and never followed up after release at all)--but mostly I just take for granted that if a game has a non-Early Access release then it's released. Too much stuff to follow up on and too many subjective judgments if not. Thanks for the info though, I'll probably add a note to it.
Yeah. Basically for La-Mulana 2 and Night in the Woods, those are both games that just do backers-only updates. If you can PM me screenshots of the last few updates, I'd appreciate that. I'm not trying to scam anyone, I know why devs do backers-only updates, I just want to do a quick top-line summary of the game's progress.
Or just release the three Capcom SNES Mickey games on whatever Virtual Console. Magical Quest is the best of the three, but Great Circus Mystery and "Magical Quest 3" (which is SFC-exclusive, but got a GBA port in the west) are also good too!
So, I'm stuck here. Yo jump using the ramp I need to push down the action button, but it seems nothing work. XBox One controller, any tips?
What game is that.
It's coming back. The beta for XL ran great for most people as far as I saw. Didn't play it myself.

QLOC worked on the PC version after the initial bad launch (AFAIK) and fixed most of the issues it had...they've also worked on the PC version since then and will be bringing the XL version (Kombat Pack 2 and new balance patch/netcode) to the PC version in October
the patch will be free...Kombat Pack 2 will have to be bought (it'll have 4 new fighters and some of the DLC that wasn't included in Kombat Pack 1)

Oh that's good to hear, actually might consider getting it.
