Welp time to check new update.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Mafia Remaster? Oh, they're calling it "Definitive Edition".

edit: Different Game.
Oh, i've heard about this game in PC Gamer mag. You do a run, then do time-stuff, then do another run etc. So they all interact together.
If it's the game i'm thinking of.

edit: meta got confused for a second there.

 

[Eferis]

Lego Star Wars looks pretty cool

 

[Arsene]

Twelve Minutes looks awesome. Looking forward to it.

 

[fantomena]

Struggling looks fun, I was worried when they announced it durign the Nintendo Partner Direct and I couldn't find info about the PC version.

 

[MJunioR]

 

[fantomena]

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Fingers Crossed for that Little Hope game. Looks spooky. and hope they do some interesting things with it.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

New Sam and Max game is a VR game it seems XP

Aside from that this is about the only worthwhile thing from Gamescom

oh was that in the stream? missed that.

 

[MJunioR]

thanks MS

 

[Jav]

Fucking SOLD

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Chorvs!

edit:
Wasteland 3 looked a little less serious than i thought it was in my head.

 

[Le Pertti]

Wish MS would give remasters to og owners.

 

[Alextended]

Yay MOH

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Wait, it's VR? Neat.

Awww, Oculus

 

[Nabs]

I hate hardware exclusives.

 

[Tizoc]

Just chiming in to say
Can we get a game where we kill neo nazis in modern setting instead of only killing them in WW2?

 

[Alextended]

Hope it's good. I don't like having forearms in VR if it's not full arms, just cut them at the wrist instead, especially if the IK doesn't match your arms well enough.

It doesn't really give the vibe of the first few games despite the original creator's involvement. Still, I hope it's meaty and not very COD-like as it seems at times.

 

[ZKenir]

thanks MS

no pesky VPN thieves on MS watch!

 

[toxicitizen]

Oh cool, having Control removed from my account didn't reset my download progress. Glad I let the download run while I waited, picked right up where it was once I redeemed my new key. Almost done now!

edit: Also, what the fuck is up with this logo lol? Pretty sure it was smaller earlier, too.

 

[Le Pertti]

Closest we gotten is probably FarCry 5. But wish someone would go for it.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Hogwarts Royale?
It's all gone a bit anime!

SpellBreak F2P - September 3rd - Epic.

 

[Hektor]

Bought control, hopefully i will be able to transfer the save file from my "EGS copy"

Still need a new GPU anyways.... any day now...

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Turrican?!

edit: Looks like they're putting the band back together. Ohhhhh.

Now showing:
Des' Tiny Too: Stay, Sis!

 

[fantomena]

Im honestly suprised Ancestors is at 4th on global sellers.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Wait, you what mate? Award for Best Playstation Game: One that isn't even out yet! Woooooo!
( Cyberpunk 2077 )

edit: Ratchet & Clank PS5 Gameplay stuff now.

 

[TioChuck]

Hogwarts Royale?
It's all gone a bit anime!

SpellBreak F2P - September 3rd - Epic.

It has been on EGS for a more than a year as open alpha/beta, its probably full EGS exclusive now.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Ahhh, no wonder it kinda fell off my radar a while ago. I barely pay any attention to EGS releases after a day or two. They just slip my mind.

Forever the GOAT

 

[fantomena]

Ratchet looks really fun and good.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Totally not a Loading Screen.

 

[Nabs]

Are we getting a Tunic Demo?

 

[fantomena]

I should just have continued playing P4G. This wasn't worth it.

Are we getting a Tunic Demo?

It's already out.

 

[Eferis]

The power of SSD

 

[ISee]

Unfortunately no. Steam and Epic are using slightly different formats for whatever stupid reason.
You can move around files and renaming some of them will allow you to load into an old save game, but certain data will still be missing.
Certain parts of the maps will still be unexplored, control point unclaimed, the DLC doesn't seem to trigger etc.

 

[Nabs]

Ah. I don't like the demo button on the right side. Easy to miss.

 

[warp_]

hoo boy, just got a very upset call from the ex about how star wars sims is no bueno and ea is messing up bad. i figured she'd be pleased as a star wars fan but i guess not.

 

[TioChuck]

Ratchet looks pretty good, but nothing they showed can't be done on other platforms, the orange portals are just teleporters and the purple ones are just fancy loading screens.

 

[Line]

No loading screen, it's just the same background with Ratchet&co falling in...
Looks good though, but the amount of cinematics and portals taking you off the gameplay segments could be really annoying.

 

[Alextended]

Was ratchet always this much of an action/shooter? If it didn't have Pixar graphics it might have been a Gears of War clip. With Bioshock Infinite set piece rifts.

 

[ISee]

What "SSD" are you all making fun off?

edit: oh a PS5 game had a loading screen? I see.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

warp_ Have they tried it or are they just totally unimpressed at it's existance?
edit: ahh, you answered. Hah.

Line Yeah, too much of that jumping around would make it seem like a mini-game collection at times rathern than a full connected game. Hopefully they don't overuse it.

 

[Hektor]

NO BUENO
MERDA DA SHIT
SCHEIßDRECK

 

[warp_]

warp_ Have they tried it or are they just totally unimpressed at it's existance?

not happy about the existence. i guess the sims community has been pressing ea for updates to existing things and less new worlds. she said stuff like "more hairstyles, better child interactions, expanded character options" for the worlds they have already and this is sorta the opposite.

i guess it's a "destination world" which means it's different than where their sims already are and no sims can live there, just visit. also new clothing and accessories can't be used to full effect because they are "goddamn star wars cosplay crap" (her words lol)

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

ISee Excuse me! This is NEXT-GEN! That was a Loading Tunnel not a Loading Screen. tish.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

That event was a big lot of nothing

Guess I got release dates for Doom DLC and Little Nightmares 2 out of it

 

[Alexandros]

This type of music is the soundtrack of my childhood. Does it count as chiptune?

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Alextended I only played a few hours of a couple fo the games but yeah. They have Exploration bits, platforming and running around fighting stuff bits. They're pretty good games from what i remember but my PS2 started playing up and i didn't have a PS3 but apart from the exploration bits that segment looked like prime R&C to me.

 

[ISee]

This type of music is the soundtrack of my childhood. Does it count as chiptune?

It counts as awesome.

 

[Knurek]

This type of music is the soundtrack of my childhood. Does it count as chiptune?

I mean, it uses a chip (PAULA), but said chip allowed for PCM sample playback, which is what Turrican used.
So... no.
There was a bunch of music editors on Amiga which allowed for syntethized samples, TFMX didn't AFAIR
(It did allow for mixing 7 channels on a 4 channel chip, which Turrican 2 title screen uses).
