Will Black Mesa ever release for consoles?

I'm asking for a friend
I don't think there is from a technical viewpoint, maybe memory issues due to new models and textures and some gfx glitches but they could tweak the port to work on the fixed gfx hardware of consoles reliably.
From a business side I assume Black Mesa has a license but whether that covers other platforms i don't know. Also there would be middleware licensing costs but i'm sure Valve could sort that out if the idea got that far.

The main issue to my mind would be that it's an indie team that has spent years making it and they're likely to want to move on.

Technically - probably not, Legally and Economically - that'll be the kicker. Also, do the team have the energy for it?
I'd say maybe but i wouldn't go putting any bets down or holding my breath.

I don't see any exclusivity issues. Prior Half-Life game appeared on consoles after all.

If anything, it's probably up to Crowbar Collectives interest to port it.

Wow Temtem is still going strong and is it true that they want to put MTX in the game?
------

DQB2 is still sort of fun, but I think I am spending way to much time on it and I want to go back to my main island and build some cool stuff.

Oh and I guess that Bandai decided to sell the DLC bonus stuff for the kakarot game? They decided to do the same for Code Vein but only for the console versions correct?

I go on a lot of different sites online and one of them is a Japanese gaming site in Japan.

They had a thing not that long ago where they asked their readers what they thought was the more interesting/surprising news of the last decade.



The two big ones being the death of Iwata and Kojima going independent.

other things include FFXIV (being turned from a flop to a top hit), VR becoming more popular, Half Life Alyx, EGS and EGS exclusive games, Shenmue 3, PC ports of Japanese developed games, MS buying Minecraft, and the PSN data breach (the 2011 one)



This is an article from the Japanese site that I was talking about.

Steam does have a lot features.





You can just use the Google translate add on to read the article

Didn't know this is a thing, apparently by the moddb folks and Dusk just got support for it?



Looks like it's set up nicely, I've not tried to use it yet though.

ya since they want a way to support people that got the game on Steam and GOG.

I think the one hyperdrive outlaw game uses it, or something similar

Alternative title: Developers React to Speedrunner Destroying Their Game.
I finally found the time to watch it. I think it was the best "devs react to speedruns" yet. Both because of the skips/glitches and the devs' personalities.

On a totally unrelated topic: I started playing REmake 2 and... That goddamn' Tyrant. I can't handle all that stress. Lickers ? Yeah, who cares... they're glorified jack in the box. But Mr. 300kg weighin', combat boots wearin', punch throwin' anemic douchebag... nuh huh.

he actually kinda looks like a jacked up Fantômas

The best thing they can do with a new CS game is add some type of new game mode for it. So that its not competing too directly with CSGO. Both will be able to coexist for a long time that way.

Some type of new Battle Royale mode or maybe do some VR thing with it. It would really make sense for them to do a multiplayer VR game as more people continue buying headsets.

With both Portal VR and L4D VR being officially deconfirmed now I think their 3 VR games will wind up being...

1) Alyx
2) Counter Strike VR
3) In the Valley of Gods
CSGO actually has a battle royal mode called Danger Zone but it's only 18 players and I think Source 1 is pretty limiting with what they can do.

If the VNN report on how far along L4D3 was (basically early access ready, and supported both VR and standard gameplay) I could see them picking it up and finishing it. It makes a lot of sense. Right now I'm sure there's a huge focus on shipping Alyx and there's probably very few, if anyone working on any other VR games right now at Valve.

Pre-production with a little team is for sure something that it's there, writers, artists, etc... already have something in the works, there's no need to keep them doing nothing while big part of Alyx team is, right now, programmers, 3D modelers and testers.

Still a long wait until new announcement but I'm absolutely sure the new game is already being more than discussed.

I need to sell things, a lot of things.
But for once it's not because I need money (spoiler twist: I still need money, badly), but because I came to the realization that living in a hoarder place is actively hampering my enjoyment. It feels like shit and I can't decorate because the foundation is shit.
Always been a hoarder, but going from a house to a smaller house to an apartment didn't help.

Here's hoping I can correct this ship.

What's the link with video games you say ? Err... :sweaty-blob:

4 means 4 games, Platinum has 4 Nintendo exclusive games (Astral Chain, Bayonetta 2 and 3, Wonderful 101)
Clearly this means that all 4 games are going multiplatform via Kickstarter.

/jk

Really curious to see what's going to happen, my bet is that 4Platinum might be their self-publishing brand.

I wonder if this is just some sort of Platinum cross-promotion thing, using hype for one game to talk about others. If so, I'm expecting:

1. Bayonetta 3
2. Babylon's Fall
3. The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter
4. ...?

I would do many things for a new NieR project.

Nier Twitter retweeted the latest Babylon's Fall stuff, and they don't retweet non-Nier/Drakengard stuff...

I didn't follow it that closely, but isn't there some bad blood between Platinum and SquareEnix ?

There is some crossover there, however. NieR:Automata and Babylon's Fall are both Square Enix published titles developed by Platinum. Maybe they thought there was some crossover there.

Not sure that's of particular importance. But I'd still kill to get a new NieR game made by PlatinumGames regardless. Automata is one of my all-time favourite games!

Square Enix and Yoko Taro are basicallly credited with saving Platinum Games. I think Kamiya has said as much. NieR:Automata was lucrative for both parties, and Square Enix are now publishing Babylon's Fall, another Platinum Games title.

That sounds like a good working relationship to me.

And by the way, a new Nier game has been confirmed for a while but we don't know if Platinum is in the project.

Steam is offline once again. There must be something up at Valve. I swear to god if 2020 is not the year we finally get a revamped BPM I'm going to switch to EGS for good :negative-blob:

I'm hoping for a Astral Chain or Bayonetta 2 port but that's probably not happening.

Who knows, the future is unknown and crazier things are going to happen, maybe not today but let's not say it's never happening.

Got an email yesterday and an email this morning from Steam that "a query made by a Steam user to discover all account names associated with a CD key linked to your account". I hope I am not getting hacked or something.

Don't worry it's basically just someone was checking if a key has been redeemed or not.

Got spammed with that exact email when I got Catherine's key from SEGA's puzzle.

Question, Mortal Kombat 11 is banned in my country (Indonesia). Is it still possible to redeem the cd key via VPN because I've heard there's some changes to the way Steam handles VPN activation now.
