Sega Japan hasn't taken any EGS deals though, right? There was that one Total War game, but I think that's it for exclusives.
So far, but it would not be beyond Sega Japan to take a deal if offered. Taking the Stadia deal for Judgment only highlights how open to deals they are regardless of who is offering.

With money flowing from various companies trying to establish services, there is likely a feeling from publishers that this money is fleeting and they may be more inclined to take deals while they are available. That said, I think Sega’s response is only about releasing on more platforms to achieve their sales goals and not any indication of exclusive deals per se.

Hopefully the likely failure of Judgment on Stadia will be an eye opener for them, but probably not...

Huzzah! Been closely following the RTX update. I held off playing the game because of it. Now I can finally play. :p

There were some games in 2019 that were EGS exclusive and launched on Game Pass PC before the Epic contracts ran out, most notably Metro Exodus, The Outer Worlds, Phoenix Point and Mechwarrior 5. At that point, Epic "exclusive" just meant "no Steam or GOG versions". I haven't noticed any recent EGS exclusives that have Game Pass PC versions, so Epic may have closed that loophole.

Thanks to Arsene for bringing it up
For the longest time I misunderstood the dlc situation of SMT3 even though they clarified it close to release.
Simply put, Raidou DLC and Easy mode dlc are free, so buying you base ver. of the game lets you have these



The Deluxe edition includes Dante, Music and Maps dlc so these would be paid post release.

Bringing this up here for other peeps to know just in case.

new Nvidia drivers out for days gone

New drivers helped a bit on the stuttering but I'm still experiencing some framedrops under 144hz. I just locked my monitor to 120hz and I'll see how does that work.

As someone who really loves photography, what does a masters program actually teach you?
To be a master photographer you have to master photography.

Why the fu*k Nvidia is installing DCH drivers each time when new ones are out via GeForce Experience when i have non DCH ones?
I made a query about this to Microsoft and this was the official response:
'Stop resisting, it's for your own good'

New banner for Days Gone.

Edit: A little off-topic, but I discovered this due to what is happening in Palestine right now:



The last factory making Palestinian scarves in Palestine. I ordered the Nazareth version a few days ago.

all this talking about atlus reminds me of something

a year ago before the pc gaming show, p4g leaked in several ways; i was a spectator to one of them, in which the files themselves were leaked and distributed between several people, with some even publically tweeting stuff like controller UI for the port before release
alongside the files, there were also taken pictures of the game in steam before release, probably how playtesters or journalists can play the game before their official release, it was called Day with the steamappid 1113000 iirc, achievements were there but no banner or anything else, pretty much how it looks like when you custom-add games to steam but there's achievements there

me being a spectator lead me to find something else connected to this; talks about a p5r pc port already around the time of the p4g release, which then lead me on a wild chase to see this through the end before i enter university

The only issue I have with Biomutant so far is everything other than the breed that's shown in media are pretty ugly. The "Primal" is not that cool looking in game. I'm into the game but it's kind of hard to tell if it will be good in general. I feel like it's likely going to lean into the mediocre but I hope it doesn't.

They took a Stadia exclusivity deal which is worse than EGS.
honestly, I'm less baffled by Sega taking a moneyhat than I am by the fact that Google offered one in the first place, at least one that only precluded a native PC release and didn't impact the console versions.

like, isn't Stadia supposed to be aimed at people who don't want to spend tons of money on gaming hardware? Aren't those people more likely to have a current-gen console than a gaming PC that can run Judgment well?

Congratulations, you have put more thought into Stadia than Google has for the past year and a half.

Tonight I saw that the Sennheiser HD 599 looks well regarded in audio, it's elegant in my eyes, not RGBRGBRGB, it's 149 euros.

I recently got a pair of HD 560S and I'm very happy with them. I think they're pretty similar to HD 599 in terms of build and audio quality, with 560S being a bit more open with a more clear soundstage and less bass than 599.

I'm also using a HyperX Quadcast S which is a great microphone, but it's 100% RGBRGBRGB. A Modmic or gaming headset is more convenient but I'm fine with using an external microphone like this.

Oh, Days Gone is made in Unreal? I would have assumed it was some in-house engine.
According to a quick search, it's a modified version of UE4. To what purpose or degree I could not find, but apparently enough that some file formats and tools are not compatible with standard UE4:

My headcanon is that a high up stadia exec offered the money hat for Judgement because they were pretty sure they've heard the name Sega before so it seemed like a good money hat despite knowing nothing about the game.

This is something Ubisoft should have done from the beginning.
Ubi games are so long you are better off buying/owning whatever game you want instead of paying them monthly fee to rent it. You also get burned out playing their games. Origins and Odyssey are cheap nowadays anyways.

15$ is dumb and 9$ is just a little less insulting. A 5$ tier would be more reasonable imo.

“Similar to Respawn, our orientation isn’t to come in and take over Codemasters; our orientation isn’t to come in and turn Codemasters into another Electronic Arts studio; our orientation is around the provision of opportunity,” Wilson told MCV

Wilson goes on to say that EA has an “amazing cupboard” that contains myriad IP, modern tech, marketing resources, and an in-built player base. He suggests EA is merely handing Codemasters ‘a set of keys’ to access these tools, much in the same way the publisher has with Respawn.

And it’s a sentiment Codemasters CEO Frank Sagnier agrees with. “EA brings scale with its sales and marketing muscles, live services expertise, state-of-the-art analytics platform, EA access, EA Play, Origin – just so much wealth that EA brings in terms of their services,” Sagnier told MCV.

Pretty funny how the chances of a Bloodborne or God of War PC port existing is higher than getting literally any news about Elden Ring, based off the latest Jeff Grubbs info.
Well, given just how many assets from the previous souls games were in the leaked footage, it's just as well. Seems they have a lot of work ahead of them.
