I imagine Timesplitters will bomb and nothing will happen with Second Sight (besides maybe a modern port). Just a gut feeling though.
Should we be expecting them to do something with second sight? they buy up so many IP from the early-mid 2000s they probably dont even remember which games arent available for sale.

I"m late to the talk about last pass, why did everyone abandon it?
They'll be limiting the free version to one device type, starting in March. This means you'll only be able to access the service through a desktop or a mobile device, not both.

I'm still waiting for Sony to announce their new AV receiver that will have HDMI 2.1

Their current high end model (which cost about $600USD) does a lot of cool things but it lacks that. I might still buy that model though. From my understanding that's the same model that they have had since 2017....

My cat vomited some saliva (hairs ?) and I sleep lightly. Anyone who has a cat can testify they make a lot of noise when they vomit.
So I got up at 6am and I don’t know what to do and if I can last the whole day.
Thanks kitty.

It is quite possible that Valheim reaches 500kccu peak later today :blobeyes::blobeyes::blobeyes:

EDIT: In other news, I asked Kaz Ayabe about Shin-Chan game coming to the west and if it would be possible to expand it to PC just to reach more customers in general (overseas and west).

Things went like this:

Mor:
私は「クレヨンしんちゃんオラと博士の夏休み」ルックス絶対に素晴らしいと心温まることを言わなければなりません

欧米のリリースが発生した場合に、より多くのファンにリーチするための潜在的なPC(Steam)バージョンを検討しましたか? 本当にありがとうございました
I must say that "Crayon Shin-chan Ora and Dr. Summer Vacation" looks absolutely wonderful and heartwarming
Have you considered a potential PC (Steam) version to reach more fans in the event of a Western release?
Thank you very much.

Kaz:
なるほど。
アドバイスをありがとうございます。
I see.
Thanks for the advice.

Glad he answered :cat-heart-blob:

Valfaris is fun.
Definitely an improvement over Slain, it's still challenging but feels much fairer.
I really wanted to like Slain but it felt unfair in a dull way and I like challenging, even unfair games (I'm one of those weirdos who likes IWBTG games). Anyway Valfaris is a big improvement over it and I played it through pretty much in one sitting. Had a blast with it.

I joined forum.xboxera.com, seems like a nice place, joined because why not.

There are apparently rumors that very soon after Zenimax has officially been acquired (should happen during the next 2-4 weeks apparently), MS will announce a showcase and they will go in hard.

Wonder if they will show Starfield.

I browse that forum every now and then. I like the layout and the people seem pretty cool.

I've yet to make an account though, I already have my hands full as it is.

Furthermore, it's not that I don't like to see this forum grow, but I feel trying to elevate MC as the place for "leaks" is the wrong way to go about it. I'd rather have people come in here organically because they like the community and the people in it, rather than "a source of info" like a certain purple forum.
Ditto. I don't think exponential growth or even notoriety is a good thing to aim for. They are usually the antithesis of a healthy community on the internet.

Decided to just fire up EGS for once and finish up Tony Hawk and Airborne Kingdom, got review code for them at launch, thought they were gonna release on Steam at the time of release, but since it seems those are the most unlikely (sadly) for a Steam release so I might as well jut as well play through them. Haven't touched EGS for a while, not even for Fortnite which I do find fun to play, I just use the website to claim the free stuff.

dunno about showcasing hard but i believe something is planned for march or they may just wait nearer e3 time either way i imagine a elden ring trailer and other things dropping soon rather than another 6month wait.

By the way, I don't wanna push you on things so only comment if you personally want, are things going okay with Bloodborne? Any new tests happening or are the testing done?

from what i can gather regarding not just bloodborne but the ports in general, after the horizon launch situation ( gurreria wasnt that much a part in the porting process) and it launched fairly bad (buggy etc) that enlisted an entire review of the other projects to see if they are same etc. on top of that covid internally changed so many deadlines shuffled many things etc.

regarding bloodborne its still in testing theres quite alot of issues still around that need ironing out,

i would imagine with god of war ragnanarok and horizon both most likely not meeting this year, if any does itll be god of war, but i imagine we will see some announcements regarding these soon,

reality is, covid put a wrench in things on top of that the poor horizon at launch port they want to avoid that sorta situation again on top of that with ms making even more waves in purchasing bigger publisher i can also see sony maybe sticking to guns and not going full on accepting pc.

pile all of that together and well possibilites are endless wether all of this ever sees the light of day. but up until very recently i still know that basically 99% off the sony projects are still pc tracetroy

with god of raggy and horizon most lilkeley missing this year, why not drop dad of war on pc this year like horizon was last year and get some more dough
I dearly hope they whatever Microsoft do with their acquisition won't stop Sony from porting their games to PC.

i could see that maybe affecting things, i atleast wouldnt be shocked, or sony may just make their own launcher or take deals from epic. kingdom hearts was finished last jan, they refused a epic offer in october last year and were ready to just can and not release it on pc but then epic offered another amount. so yea it kinder shows how things can be and why you might not hear about some things leaked at all.

ive always said some things i say may never ever see the light at end and thats ok.

I'd buy a PC version of God of War anywhere, even on EGS. If that's what it takes.

Thank you for everything anyway. It would be a shame to see Sony backtrack on their PC efforts but there is nothing I can do about it.

There were 2 or 3 passages in Slain I actually had to Cheat Engine my wy through, because of how frustrating they were. Having long and hard sections while being stingy with checkpoints is just not fun.
A shame because the atmosphere was great and the bosses were enjoyable as well. Just some of the regular sections were of the "wft were they thinking" kind.

I think I know what I want to play next, to be fair this year I'm more into the Japanese mood so I'm mostly selecting Japanese games, so far things such as NNK1 and Octopath are on the list, Yakuza saga will get a replay from start to finish too and I think some of the new classics S-E is going to release on PC will be added to the list too.

IDK why I haven't been playing since I finished FFX but I guess it's time to play something, don't you think?

For real ? I'm surprised, it made a lot of noise, even on Canard PC forum it was high in the Game of the Year award thread, so I thought it would be mentionned on Discord.
I knew about the game, mostly because of the positive reviews on Steam, but I did not know it was made by French people.

I completely forgot that Embracer got TimeSplitters, and more importantly Second Sight.
iirc they both are under Deep Silver alongside Dambuster Stuiods (aka renamed Free Radical Design/Crytek UK ) and iirc they even emplyed the Tmesplitters creator in the studio
I'd like to thank lashman again for welcoming me to Meta so I can participate in this anime thread.

I wonder why you would invest on a product for a specific platform and then even evaluate the hypothesis of canceling everything, it's fucked up at so many level that I don't know where to start

imo Sony was never gonna mention PC in the "PS5 launch window" anyway, the fanboys would eat them alive (just look how quickly they eradicated the FF16/DeS PC mentions in the last sony trailers) and especialyl with covid still raging worldwide , give it time.

And even wth the port issues , the Horizon port sold well , they even mentioned on their blogpost that they will do more .... its just matter of time

Dandy Dungeon is such an AMAZING little game :cat-heart-blob:

Seriously, it's simple and small but in general I think it's really touching giving the current situation with working class and the inner despair of "this is a loop and I want to be a bit free to do what I love", it's all told in a very sarcastic and japanese way that it's lovely.

Also, it's Onion Games, creators of Moon RPG, so please, consider supporting them on PC or the Nintendo Switch, small games with big heart :cat-heart-blob::cat-heart-blob::cat-heart-blob:

They never did this, actually. They remain very evasive, even their investor PDF was only about "exploring".
As non commital as you can get really.

Truth is it could go either way. And of course I'm not talking about some smaller scale multiplayer spin off or whatever that could come to PC.

Time will tell if another big AAA title from Sony comes to Steam or EGS.

come on , someone as obnoxiously obsessed by sony shit like you cant read between the lines?
HH: Sure. I think it’s important that we stay open to new ideas of how to introduce more people to PlayStation, and show people maybe what they’ve been missing out on.

And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don’t have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.
Hulst: We will explore expanding our 1st party titles to the PC platform, in order to promote further growth in our profitability.”
cant go clearer than this that ports will continue in some form even if its 1 port a year or two and never day 1 wth ps5

I'm afraid "exploring" means just that. I would also like to point out that this was pre-Bethesda acquisition by Microsoft. Queen herself mentions this could cause Sony to reassess their PC strategy.

I'm not saying nothing AAA wise from Sony will ever make it to PC after Horizon (and who knows if they are happy with the sales) but at the moment I would not bet much on it. Thanks to many great insiders here we know that they have AAA PC stuff in the pipe now the question is whether any will actually release.

That's the billion dollar question.

Who knows, maybe I'll feel really stupid later this year.

Onion Games (and Kimura-san) have perfected the art of sarcasm. I played Dandy Dungeon when it was still a FTP mobile game. While it had MTX, it was clearly from the game's humor that devs didn't like it at all.

I'm buying their games just for that principle alone.
