Bloodborne on PC yet again claimed to be a real thing that will actually release some day.
18.35
Would feature some of the cut content from the original release.

Red Gaming Tech.

Now, the question is what are Sony waiting for ? I hope plans to release it on PC have not changed.

Don't know how reliable is this fella for gaming BUT when it comes to hardware, he knows his thing and at this point BB has been featured so many times, however, I'm very disappointed Shahem as you mentioned BB but NOT A SINGLE WORD ABOUT MGS? :blobclosecry:

that's hype, a higher hype than BB

Now, for real, we will see what happens, in the meantime I want to know what happens with this re-releases of the original ports, if they will feature any fix in particular and in which stores it will pop-up as GOG is a sure thing and Steam is an unknown but as it's a Konami product IDK their conditions.

Based on what Queen has been saying, they likely want the latest playtest to at least be serviceable before announcing any dates. I have no idea what the timeline for this kind of thing is like, but I hope October or November?

On the note of MGS Remake, if Bluepoint is touching it I’m avoiding it with a 10 foot pole.

I admit I don't know much about the relationship between the state of dev and the date at which it's typically made public.

I'm not touching the game ever.
Remember the dev(s) being very special, aggressive people with a big ego problem.
Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of that. Sorry for posting the deal. Everything related with Epic and exclusivities for the past 2 years are unknown to me. And I mean, everything like what you meant about the devs.

No, no, no.
That's my personal opinion on that studio. I don't expect you to not buy it.
I for example bought satisfactory and many people are unhappy with that studio.
Please, if you like it go for it. Don't put that much value into my ramblings.

since some people mentioned wanting it as a gp/bc machine, xbox series s all access is up for usa people, does require a credit check.
But wasn't the series S worse at handling BC ?
And what exactly could I play if I bite ? The missing Gears and Halo, but what else ? Serious question, I'm not arguing.

I don't want to be a contrarian and go against your personal hype Mor, but as long as we don't have announcements for the rest of the series, this means nothing to me. We are talking about Konami here. They can and will probably shit the bed.

I'm not particular fan or in love with Rogue-likes but that videogame looks amazing.
It's coming to Steam next year.

The lines people are drawing between various forms of exclusivity are entirely arbitrary. You either accept them or you don't. If you were celebrating or rationalizing Sony's moneyhats then you cannot argue against the Bethesda thing without people thinking that you are a massive hypocrite.

As silly as that 30K$ TV is at this point, that's probably a good reason to go for a 3090 over a 3080, if you want to run an 8K system at decent framerates. The 24 GB VRAM also looks less insane for that purpose.

For anyone else, I don't understand why you'd go for something that will give you at most 30% increases in artificial benchmarks, and far less in most games at below 4K resolutions.

Inti Creates just put their entire library on all time low discounts on Steam. Possibly TGS PC related announcement incoming?
Needless to say, everyone needs to add some of their games to their libraries.
I love their games! :blobcheer:

If you liked those classic Capcom or Konami 8-bit/16-bit games, with lovely pixel-art, catchy soundtracks, and fun gameplay, you need to check their games. They are one of the few companies around still doing this style of games.

If you liked what they did with Mega Man 9 and 10, you need to check out the Blaster Master Zero series (a series revival done right), and the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon series (classic, stage-based Castlevania games in all but the name).




Plus. Mighty Gunvolt Burst (which plays closer to their Mega Man games than the games above), and Dragon Marked For Death (a side-scrolling action RPG, with 4 player online co-op MP), are also well worth a look. Well, all their games are! (y)

You mean the Gunvolt series (or Gal*Gun :LOL:)?
Well, first, I wasn't going to list all of their games, and clutter the page (that's why I linked to their Steam curator page at the end, so that people could check all of their games).

But also, to be honest, while I like the Gunvolt series, I prefer the games I listed.
If I had to select only 3 games of those they currently have on Steam, it would be Blaster Master Zero, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, and Dragon Marked for Death.

I quickly checked ERA and Im suprised someone thinks MS will leave Steam. It's like Imran (KindaFunny) said in a post there, the Game Pass (Windows Store)/Steam model they are currently doing is a win-win for them, there's no negative. They both get people to subscribe to game pass and they reach the PC audience through Steam (people who prefer Steam like me for various of reason) and to buy their games-

There's probably lots of people like me who are subbed to game pass, but use it as a glorified demo service.

I stopped finishing games via game pass when I realized that after I had finished my first 2 games via game pass, I wanted to buy them on Steam when they went on sale.

The Game Pass (Windows Store)/Steam model is the best model for MS to reach the PC audience. I assume they will support EGS in the future too which I have no problem with either, still weird to me they just dropped State of Decay 2 there and nothing else.

I can distinguish to a degree, in increasing order of loathability and by no means complete :
  • Company founded the studio
  • Company bought the studio
  • Company funded the game
  • Company moneyhatted the game
  • Company is coming in at the last second to moneyhat the game in order to force users to use a crappy platform and remove promising releases in order to starve the market.
Seriously though, people are really being okay with Sony paying for games not to release on anything other than a PS and simultaneously angry about MS? Ouch.

Not worse at BC, just doesn't render at 4k natively, it will render at 1440p instead. it still will do auto hdr, fps increase, and other bc fixes. df did an explanation of the back compat here.
the original report was it wouldn't do x1x versions of back compat, which is true. mainly cause that means all the above features plus rendering in native 4k, which the series s doesn't do, only upscales to 4k.

as far as what it will play, this is the back compat list
and the game pass games listed for "console" here. game pass console and pc do have some different games though there is overlap

Based on the type of argument that is usually deployed in moneyhatting threads there is actually zero difference. It's all 'just business'.

It's a good thing I have no need to inflict these threads on myself :p.

Edit :

Not too hot on that game. All those features feel... well, tacked-on. It still has no narrative, none of the world and mystery of how all these elements combined together that the original reveal had. It's become a checkbox games where they try to fill in what they should have had in years ago without it actually making in-game sense. It's a bit survival/crafting game, and that's fine if that's your thing, but they still lied and haven't delivered, at least in my opinion.

Also, the lighting still sucks.

Sorry for being a joyless poop today, I couldn't sleep much but NMS is really one of those "success stories" that are that only if you have a surface understanding of what the game was supposed to be, at least in my opinion.

It comes down to which platform the person arguing is more a fan of. That's all it is

So it's pretty much the same for both Sony and Microsoft. Sony purchased Bend, Guerrilla, Naughty Dogs, Media Molecule, Insomniac and Sucker Punch so pretty much every single of those "miraculous first party studios" were acquired and yet Sony fanboys with short memory are acting like they were all founded by Sony. Every single big Sony exclusive other than God of War was made by an acquired studio.

Fanboys aren't exactly paragons of intellectual honesty and... Well, I know how grating they are when they are in your face and there is no way of avoiding them, but given how fallacious and wrong the argument is, I don't know that there is another way than ignoring them and not engaging in that tragedy of a discussion.

Exclusives are still bullshit, that didn't change because Microsoft entered the fray again, quite the opposite. This leads to both console-making companies consolidating their hold on the games being made for everyone, and there's no way that's a win in the long term, at least in my opinion.

i don't know if these pics are teases or what, but i just find it very hard to believe ms would be buying sega outright. there's a lot of other businesses involved with that company. something like day one gamepass releases would seem more likely...or maybe some more timed exclusives like the pso2 translation/redo.

could also just be old 360 ports going to game pass too lol

I'll tell you what, I loath acquisitions of smaller companies like the ones Sony acquried or MS with Ninja Theory and similar companies more than huge acquisition of giants like the Zenimax one. That won't change much of anything, Zenimax studios will go from under a gigantic corporation to under a different gigantic corporation so nothing much will probably change in their working conditions or creative freedom. For smaller companies it is much different, look at all the stuff Sony acquired, over the years they went from doing a wide range of action games, platforms, shooters and arcade-ish games to everyone doing an iteration of the "big budget Sony's cinematic adventure game" (Horizon, Uncharted/The Last of Us, Days Gone, Tsushima, Spider-man etc).

Yeah. I think it's alot more likely that SEGA and MS will form some sort of partnership without affecting SEGA as a 3rd party publisher (stuff like SEGA bringing more games to XBox/Gamepass, or maybe even SEGA helping MS with trying to increase the popularity of the XBox platform on Japan?) than MS downright buying SEGA.

that would make a lot more sense to me, and also reminds me of what happened with the og xbox. bunch of sega arcade ports came to that system right away through some kind of partnership.
