Oh fuck oh shit completely forgot about Knack.

And I finished the 1st one.

And got the second one for free due to Sony's fuckup.

Still would buy a bundle with both for a high very low price on Steam.

 

[lashman]

If Dreams comes to PC I will scream and double dip in a heartbeat.

Fucking love Media Molecule and im down for anything they make, especially on PC.

it's definitely coming ... i mean - MM pretty much said it will like 2 months ago

 

[Kvik]

I've heard HZD has an interesting story but it's basically an action game with some RPG mechanics attached, so I'm kind of lukewarm towards it.

 

[Kyougar]

People,

Which atelier game,
Firis
Lydia
or Ryza?

I watched sophie on youtube

 

[Swenhir]

If Europa Universalis 5 goes to consoles then what's the point of owning a PC?

Playing Dwarf Fortress and Minesweeper, the true master race exclusives.

eh, it looks like a visually nice game, so I could see myself buying at below 30€ just for that

They have volumetric everything with that engine. The gameplay probably has its flaws but I've seen enough GDC presentations about that game to look forward to it for the, ahem, graphic pleasure alone of seeing what it looks like on PC.

That came out a little wrong.

 

[Firewithin]

if we get Knack da god on steam im punting my ps4 out and never looking back!!!!!

 

[C-Dub]

Give me Astro Bot: Rescue Mission on PC and 2020 becomes VR Christmas.

I actually liked both Knacks.

Playing Dwarf Fortress and Minesweeper, the true master race exclusives.

I just had to think of the most ridiculous game to go to consoles as a bit of a joke but yeah Dwarf Fortress on consoles would be an interface designer's nightmare, lol

Dwarf Fortress PS5 with Ray-Traced ASCII GFX

C-Dub Trover Saves the Universe reminded me of Astrobot but with swearing, lots and lots of swearing... that you can turn off if you want. I have Astro Bot on PSVR but it would SELL LIKE HOT CAKES on PCVR too. Great game.

 

[Wildebeet]

What are peoples favorite game soundtracks of the past 10 years? I'm listening to the No Man's Sky soundtrack by 65daysofstatic for what my play count indicates is the 40th time now. I think that's got to be my winner.

[Kyougar]

It's really really hard though.

When I was young, Square (Enix) put out 4 mainline Final Fantasy games in 6 years.


Really, what happened.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Wildebeet That would be a great thread idea! Do it!

 

[C-Dub]

C-Dub Trover Saves the Universe reminded me of Astrobot but with swearing, lots and lots of swearing... that you can turn off if you want. I have Astro Bot on PSVR but it would SELL LIKE HOT CAKES on PCVR too. Great game.

I literally just finished Trover this week. It's really good, but if Astro Bot is VR Mario 64, Trover is VR Crash Bandicoot. Crash is fine and all, but Mario 64 was, and still is, magical in a timeless way. Crash Bandicoot hasn't aged quite a nicely.

I think that's the best point of reference I can make.

Sophie -> Firis -> Lydie & Suelle are a trilogy (though each of them has different main chars, there are returning chars, if I'm not mistaken), while Ryza is the start of a new set of games.

 

[yuraya]

I've heard HZD has an interesting story but it's basically an action game with some RPG mechanics attached, so I'm kind of lukewarm towards it.

The story is the weakest part. I couldn't do more than 10-15hrs of it.

Its basically like a bad and boring cable television series for SyFy. The rest of the game is a slightly more polished and better looking Ubisoft open world game with a lot of repetitive encounters, giant map + fetch quests, etc.

Its a good first attempt for Guerilla to make a game like this but they've still got a longs way to go.

 

[fantomena]

The more games on PC the better. I won't care much if Days Gone comes to PC, Ive played it and I don't see myself playing it again, but having the option of buying it on PC is miles better than not having that option.

I care more about gameplay, i can watch the rest ion youtube.
I played Ayesha and Escha, but skipped Shallie because of the open endness

[Tizoc]

I actually liked both Knacks.

Knack 2 is good
Knack 1 is shite

[freshVeggie]

What are my options here ? Switch or Beth launcher ?

GZDoom

If Dreams comes to PC I will scream and double dip in a heartbeat.

Afair Dreams was pretty clear for a PC port for some time.

Not gonna lie, Sony has some sweet exclusives I'd lovd to play on PC but I'm not convinced we're seeing a monumental strategy shift like MS did in terms of PC support.
Until I'm seeing first hand, all I expect are some few choice ports.

 

[lashman]

correct

 

[low-G]

I mean if you want it portable, Switch isn't bad, but a modded PC version like GZDoom is going to be a billion times better than either of those for many reasons.

 

[NarohDethan]

Port Gravity Rush you cowards

 

[Panda Pedinte]

This new Frozen game looks pretty cool

Oh god where to even start. I could wax lyrical about every one of these so I'll... painfully refrain.

• Jon Everist's Battletech
• Gareth Coker's Ori and the Blind Forest
• Andrew Prahlow's Outer Wilds despite their horrible, anti-consumer business decision of going exclusive, you can't not acknowledge art when you see it. I respect the hell out of the studio for that game.
• Michael McCann's Human Revolution and Michael McCann, Sascha Dikicyan and Ed Harrisson's (wink) Mankind Divided (that trailer!)
• Berlinist's Gris
• Trevor Morris's Trepasser
• Adam Skorupa, Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz, Marcin Przybyłowicz and Michał Cielecki's The Witcher 2
• Marcin Przybyłowicz, Mikołaj Stroiński&Percival's The Witcher 3
• Greg Edmonson's Uncharted 2 and Henry Jackman's Uncharted 4
• Justin Bell's Pillars of Eternity
• Austin Wintory's Journey
• Jeremy Soule's (sigh) Skyrim
• Richard Vreeland's (Disasterpeace) Hyper Light Drifter
• Toby Fox's Undertale
• Christopher Tin's Civilization VI
• Darren Korb's Pyre
• Bear McCreary's God of War
• Kirk Franklin's Kingdom Come : Deliverance
• Joe Hisaishi's (!) Ni no Kuni
• Glenn Starford's Starcraft 2
• Jesper Kyd's Darksiders II (so criminally underrated)
• Keiichi Okabe's Nier Gestalt
• And last but not least, even though it's not released yet Pedro Camacho's incredible work on Star Citizen and Geoff Zanelli's on Squadron 42.

I'm now too far down the rabbit hole, this reply is getting silly and I should stop .

What a decade. What an incredible decade! I have to admit to being quite moved when I remember so many awe-inspiring experiences. Every single one of these are incredible, amazing pieces and I am thankful to the artists that created them. I can't begin to imagine the work and experience required to get where they've been.

 

[yuraya]

Don't know if you guys watch VNN but you should check out their latest video with a bunch of rumored model screenshots for a new Left 4 Dead game.

Whether they do a VR game or M/KB the Source 2 zombies gonna be terrifying

Nier Automata, of course, and The Last of Us. Definitely going to go through the list Swenhir posted above, too!

Some of the reactions to the HZD news are just...

[beep boop]

This gives me life

 

[MJunioR]

This gives me life

I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS
I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS
I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS

 

[xinek]

Is that ... satire?

 

[Bonfires Down]

I thought this was some parody account at first but I'm not sure anymore

 

[ezodagrom]

Gameplay wise, I can't say much since I still haven't played any of the games, though, seems like Ryza's battle system is some sort of ATB like system?

ZzzzzzzzZZ:

Also, release:

 

[beep boop]

Between the Byleth in Smash salt and the HZD announcement, this has been one of the most entertaining days to be reading gaming enthusiast forums.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

I started Prey 2017 and these mimics are going to give me a heart attack.

 

[skLaFarebear]

It's more fun to assume it isn't.

If Dreams comes to PC I will scream and double dip in a heartbeat.

Dreams is no brainer for PC. If people with a controller can made great things on Dreams imagine what will people with better tools can do.

I've heard HZD has an interesting story but it's basically an action game with some RPG mechanics attached, so I'm kind of lukewarm towards it.

HZD story is dogshite.

Thighza.

Nier and Xenoblade. I love vocal tracks.

This gives me life

Is this the same person who also got really really mad when Death Stranding announced for PC?

 

[DeejayDoom]

 

[PC-tan]

I wonder how that one JTV person must feel. XYZ will never get released on PC, ha... Oh they are???


I guess im cynical but normally when ever people say stuff like "good more people will get to play this" I have a hard time believing that they are being genuine about it.

In some cases I can sort of understand if say there was a game that I really liked that was being released on everything. But if that was you happen (like Say ATLUS announced that Odin Sphere was coming to PC,Xbox and N/S). I would likely not say "yay, more people will get to play the game". I would instead say something more along the lines of, "you all better go and buy this game.... I really liked it myself". Especially since I don't think that everyone will like said game, or does all of ERA love HZD?

This new Frozen game looks pretty cool

The Directors Cut that Disney doesn't want you to know about.

ZzzzzzzzZZ:

Also, release:

Sony banned this game in the west from what I recall. Sony censors stuff now.

 

[Knurek]

So, will they remove Kindred Spirits on the Roof next?

 

[texhnolyze]

Damn, no one buys/plays Alliance Alive HD in my Steam feeds. Everything is Dragon Ball.

 

[prudis]

Also, release:

the launch trailer is quite something
