Expected to see some Alexandros review pieces on the news but I guess it couldn't happen. Nvm, I'm dumb previous report got reviews media but no sign of ragequit :(

Unrelated news aside, Alexandros I've seen some Ragequit reviews on the Curator group and on certain store pages in what it seems to be Greek.
Would be possible to get them in English please?

Example

So I was in my route to kill chaos Final Fantasy I Pixel Remaster and everything was fine until I reached the volcano.

And then this happened (the video is not mine, but it's the same problem):

So after some investigating (and finding a steam thread about it) it seems to be related to the culture/region windows is using.
I did some testing and setting my windows to English (USA) and it did fix the problem.
But i find that changing the region of my windows just to play a game seems overkill.

I was thinking on using Locale Emulator but it turns out it doesn't work with 64 bit executable (Yes, this game is 64 bits).
So is there any alternative for Locale Emulator that works with 64bit apps?

The same happened to me but my region was already in English so there was no fix, in the end if you wait for a minute or so on every area load the textures load fine, which is not ideal at all :surrenderblob:

Maybe create a new account on windows, login, set the locale to the one you want, logout. Then login with your main account and try right-click RunAs and use the account with the locale you want? That miiiight work.

Crysis 1 Remastered is coming to Steam. It's a "wishlist now" trailer, so no date. But it's sometime after September 18, logically.

This isn't entirely surprising because Crytek's contract with EA literally says that they have to provide an Origin version a certain number of months after the initial PC release on EGS. Part of their OG publishing contract. And it's in Crytek's interest to release it was widely as possible. It's why they ported them to Switch, for example.

Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 Remastered will be EGS exclusive until late 2022. I'm hoping that the next patch for C1R addresses most of the remaining complaints, and that it releases before the Steam release.

Crytek would be stupid not to release them on Steam as soon as they can. Hunt did gangbusters on Steam.

Thanks for the interest! we started posting english reviews a couple of months ago so most of our backlog isn't in english. Let me know which reviews you are interested in and I will put them first in line for translation.

The only caveat is audience confusion around C1R vs the C1 trilogy existing within the same release window. Hell, it's the exact same problem they have with the Switch version which has a physical release but it's only C1R, and it doesn't come across as being as good a deal as 50USD for the trilogy.

A small list just by filtering RPGs on your curator store page
- Assassin's Creed® Origins, ELEX, West of Loathing, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor, Wasteland 2: Director's Cut.

Sorry for the offtopic to the rest.

First post of the page.

They just said in their twitch chat that the Steam stream would start at 2pm EDT today.

Endured that annoying stream and also got my Steam Quake items (not that I have much else to spend points anyway).

But went to buy the game itself on our local web store Nuuvem (-75% off) and was actually able to get it for free with the promotional points I had.

So.... good Quake day for me. Maybe I will even play the game!

No Co-op...


I liked the multiplayer flight that they had. It was rough around the edges but that's to be expected. If they have to delay it again then so be it but even if they release it without co-op or forge at launch I don't think that's too much of a deal breaker for me since after I finish the campaign I'll mainly be playing the multiplayer anyways.

After trying many things that half worked I fixed my Final fantasy locale problem. I just made a script that changes the locale, launches the game and a few seconds later sets it back to my default:

Python:
Set-Culture en-US
start "steam://rungameid/1173770"
Start-Sleep -s 30
Set-Culture es-ES

Now I'm kind of curious if the Halo Campaign Coop is not as popular as it appears to be? I always associated it with the coop - but since I never had an Xbox I don't follow it that closely. Maybe it's one those things where being inside the more "enthusiast" crowd really distort your view of the general gaming audience.

In either case I always play these things solo... so what do I know? :p

Still.. if you're launching a multiplayer focused GaaS game these days, it does seem like a big omission.

Hulst says that while PlayStation games have had great success on PC, the console versions still are the priority and games will hit there first. “Typically, there have been about two years between the release on our platform and the PC platform,” he says. “But you can rely on us to continue to create platform-defining exclusive content for PlayStation – that's part of the reason why we exist. It’s really important for us to squeeze the maximum out of the platform, to build showcases for the platform, and really let the audience see what these great features are contributing to the overall experience.”

Does the PC version of the remaster still not use the original PC releases suit power wheel? I see the trailer completely skips over it, instead showing Nomad glow red for a second in that cutscene

Weirdly specific, IMO

This pretty much confirms what we have been all saying since forever, games will stay exclusive for some years (2-3) and then release on PC after that.

But again, announce things already, it's like 5th time we got confirmation of more games coming, we know names and FFS, don't delay them more, MY WALLET WANTS TO GET THINNER.

It almost feels like that time SEGA promised PC support over and over again and nothing happened until "The Best of Japan" happened at E3 haha

Yeah, too many confirmations, too many names and yet they are slow as a snail .
yes, but SEGA didn't already have like 3 or 4 ports finished and ready to be released ... sony do :p
