I mean...
Scan lines can only do so much. Maybe if we kill it with fire ?

capcom tgs thing is on, talking re8 now. wouldn't expect any new game stuff tho since they just revealed the two mh games recently.
Someone rip their MGS HD Collection game disc and run it through RPCS3 so we can compare the port.
Is there no way to disable the texture filtering?I mean...

interesting to see capcom is looking into ps4/x1 ports of re8

What is even the point of that crappy Castlevania & Contra collection, when you can easily buy:
And get multiple times the amount of games included, in much better quality, and with extras?
I really don't understand Konami.
If they didn't want to bother with any work on these Metal Gear re-releases, they could at least get in touch with, say, Nightdive Studios, who would at least add some proper options to the game.
Instead, we get the usual GOG job, where they get the games working on modern OS, and call it a day.
It boggles my mind that they naturally know there's an interest from PC players in these titles, and instead of putting in some effort, they re-release some old, crappy ports as is.

gog gets the old crap ... steam gets the brand new collection
in all honesty, though - it was probably gog who asked konami, not the other way around ... so they did it the cheapest way possible
Yep that's europe, or at least what I remember of it. Condescending, judgmental and dehumanizing. If you aren't thriving it's your own fault, and society has no flaws whatsoever nor is systemically failing.
I'm sorry you had an asshole talk at you like that
. The victim blaming for being poor is real.

You know what: I would be happy with the old games. I don't necessarily need remakes or big remasters.gog gets the old crap ... steam gets the brand new collection
But at least, have teams that are ready to put some effort on these re-releases.
The guys at GOG simply are not it. They get way too much credit for what frequently amounts to taking fan patches/mods/fixes, applying it to their games, and selling as is.
Fortunately, there are teams around that take older games, and put in some work to get them running as well as possible, with some quality of life improvements (if one desires to use them), like Nightdive. Their work in, say, the Strife re-release was top notch (and they even recently updated the port to include some beta content, so players could try work-in-progress versions of the original game).

Picked up MG and MGS1 on GOG. Was cheaper than I expected I wanna try the games, so why not.
Hey people ! Thanks for the nice reactions to my last few posts, every little bit helps.
Good news, I could budget [UWSL]over-indebtedness AND tax backlog ![/UWSL]
[UWSL]Bad news, this is very theoretical and a little supermarket run misstep will put the thing in shambles, but hey, it's budgeted.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]Games, hardware, everything will be very fun for the next four months.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]And my final point, after that I will try to post elsewhere, I swear :[/UWSL]
[UWSL]I would have difficulty to put into word how utterly soul crushing this shit is. This feeling of having your head underwater and some motherfucker comes and pushes on it some more.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]I'm not the best saver, for personal reasons that could be evident for those that followed my posts, but for fuck's sake these last few months I tried. I really tried.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]In December, if all was going well, I could finally get out of overdraft. No small feat considering my situation.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]Now everything is fucked again.[/UWSL]
I shouldn't have expected nice things. Back to selling my old stuff in the hope to pay for some extra.

I'm not much of an old-school FPS guy, but the Prodeus playtest is really fun, I gotta say
Blade Runner will come to Steam tho one Nightdive releases their version (already confirmed, right?)
Diablo was a deal between GOG and Blizz cause' Blizz was ditching their older stuff so yeah, that won't come
As for MGS, might be timed, might be complete but in any case, GOG is good enough so if you want to replay the originals, go for it, at worst you might double dip with a 20-25€ transaction in 6 months-1 year.
Interiors are amazing. Probably a lot of backed in lighting, but why not.

I'm a bad example in terms of spending money, but when I need to cut back, I do so.
It's not always easy, but you need to start using more of the stuff you already have, and spend less time and money on new stuff that's coming out.
You can't let missing out on a video-game, or a console, get you down. That's meaningless crap.
To quote that lovable chap Norman Bates from Psycho: «A hobby should pass the time, not fill it.».
As you know, I buy a lot of games (and films) most of the times.
But, that's only possible because I'm good at saving money in other places, and I cut back on my spending when needed. I would never compromise my quality of life (food, or whatever) for a videogame or a blu-ray release.
I don't buy a home console since the Wii (except the PC Engine CoreGrafx Mini). I don't own VR hardware. I buy a new PC every 10-12 years, and I change my graphics card only when they broke down, or I simply can't run things any longer (I have a GTX 1600 6gb, and that's what I'll be rocking for the years to come; I don't feel the need to crank everything at maximum at 4K to play games). For 15 years or so, I had a 1680x1050 monitor, which I only replaced this year, after the old one broke down. With my salary, I can't possibly always be on the cutting edge of videogames hardware, so honestly, I don't even try.
You can't let these small things get you down.
Wise words ! I would say that it's more the accumulation of 'can't buy' that is bringing me down than any specific purchase.
The social [UWSL]downgrading, shit like that.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]On the bright side Covid has done a number on game releases, new consoles are of dubious interest, and the mid-life crisis that I'm living through see me being less interested in games. So yeah, it could be worse.[/UWSL]

I think when gog moved away from being Good Old Games, a lot of the original push to rework older games started falling to the publishers/Nightdive's of the community instead. I'm disappointed it's not the HD Legacy, but it's better than nothing. I can still use RPCS3 for the others until such time as gog gets the rest.
edit: also cautiously optimistic the Mafia remake is good and not just good looking.

I occasionally suffer a bit from that when it comes to collecting films (I spend a lot more money on film releases, than videogames), since it's impossible to get all the limited editions of the numerous titles I'm interested.
But I usually have a good antidote for that. I look around, realize I have a ridiculous amount of crap than I'm yet to watch, and I replace the "can't buy" thoughts with "I don't have time to watch everything, so why buy?".
INSIDE (the game) just got Steam cards so don't get surprised, you will get 3 cards out of 5

The Werewolf game is EGS, right ? The World of Darkness game.
Just taking a glance and yeah, releases are sparse, at least those whose name I recognize

There's a lot of great games currently on sale, mostly because of the Tokyo Game Show.
If anyone is looking for some great sub-5€ "metroidvania" titles to play, and don't own them already, these two get my highest recommendation:
(Pharaoh Rebirth has stages, but each one has a map to explore, sub-bosses, ..., so it still has plenty of metroidvania elements and map exploration, but in several smaller maps, instead of a single big one)

Steam :: Steam News :: Top Releases of August 2020
We're back with another round of popular monthly releases. With this list, we'll be looking at the Top 20 products released in August.
Yes it is, the non VN game anyway. It's hard to keep track of just how many WoD games are coming out under Werewolf and Vampire these daysThe Werewolf game is EGS, right ? The World of Darkness game.
Just taking a glance and yeah, releases are sparse, at least those whose name I recognize
I mean; It's a 40€ game to begin with.
You can find it for 32€ over at CDkeys.com. That's like a 20% permanent discount.
Not what some people expected but it's a new partnership between Sega and Paradox.
Google Translate does well the job for those who don't want to deal with it:
I just can't stop loving the design of the environments in Control and I also love how destructible the environments and objects are. Used a few min just to destroy a bathroom for no reason.

Has there been any actual new titles shown at the Tokyo Game Show?
All I see is the same old previously shown trailers, gameplay footage of already announced titles, and Sega announcing a Virtua Fighter e-sports competition, with no details, and no new game announced.

Those are excellent games, they have my recommendation as well
It seems Covid has hit hard the development of many Japanese games. At some point there is going to be a drought of incoming games, the silver lining is that it will help to reduce the backlog somehow (for many)
I was wondering why during the Sega show, Empire of Sin trailer was shown but only mentioned PS4 and Switch and not Steam. Now it makes sense - Sega handles publishing of the console versions in the region, while Paradox continues to self-publish on PC.

Mike Rose relearning the lessons Gabe put out with early Steam sales in 2011.
"We do a 75 percent price reduction, our Counter-Strike experience tells us that our gross revenue would remain constant. Instead what we saw was our gross revenue increased by a factor of 40. Not 40 percent, but a factor of 40. Which is completely not predicted by our previous experience with silent price variation.” GN 2011

I looked at the other games from the publisher and they all have good regional pricing, at least in Argentina.
I gonna wait, I hope I am not wrong
Yes, but something must have changed when he started porting games to consoles.
Also:
I cant' get behind buying those trash MGS ports. Though I think Metal Gear maybe hasn't been on PC before so that's something.
Are the MGS ports fixed? I actually recently played MGS2S, it needed a fan fix and I still had to remove some graphics options (dof or motion blur related, something like that) because they caused artifacts like permanent trails and didn't work correctly. It was fully playable and just fine outside that but yeah.
