No idea why they aren't just releasing Bloodborne ports and remasters they are probably sitting on during this period. It's like half a year until Elden Ring drops, and it's basically free money, assuming From gets some kind of cut from the rereleases.1 month is too long
pls Miyazaki no more delays
Good news: Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider removed Denuvo.
Bad news: They added Epic Online Services.
I know I'm not picking it up unless they add a 4th playable character. I like the idea, but the execution seems like it needed some work, and that was a major one for me
Even worse news apparently you need to log in to Epic account to play the games XDGood news: Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider removed Denuvo.

I keep HAGS disabled because it's still very buggy. A few folks have reported some slight performance improvements in certain games, but ultimately, it's negligible. You'll run into games crahing or certain apps behaving weirdly with it turned on. As for DS, are you seeing fps improvement or better frame-time consistency? Instead of HAGS, I'd recommend you use Specialk's Nvidia reflex option. It's also a godsend in DX11/12 Unity based games.I just discovered that on windows (10+) there's an option called "hardware accelerated gpu scheduling" that's supposedly increases performances in games.
I had it disabled and after reading a thread on death stranding, toggled it on and effectively noticed an improvement in Death Stranding.
Is there any reason to leave it disabled? Do you guys use it??

I just downloaded Rise myself to see what would happen. It asks to enable EOS if you want to play the Expeditions mode. Also there is a new option to link Steam and Epic accounts. It seems like you can decline using EOS and keep on using Steamworks multiplayer (although I don't have anyone to test this out with). I did not have to do anything with an Epic account when doing single player mode though. I can't verify anything with Shadow though and don't care to waste any more of my bandwidth to find out.No way to get refund for Tomb Raiders games I got couple of years ago, right? Since they just became unplayable for me

Regardless, it's extremely lame and I'm already upset that this is going to be the future of online PC gaming.
I'll test it again but with Death Stranding I saw a noticeable improvement. For example in the safe room it was hanging on 92 FPS and with this method it went to 110-120.I keep HAGS disabled because it's still very buggy.

Can i petition they restart captain blood as well?It's probably been mentioned already, but since the developers just posted an update about it, I thought I would bring it up (again?):
Sea Dogs: To Each His Own, the most recent entry in the Sea Dogs series, is getting an expanded and "remastered" release called Sea Dogs: Legendary Edition. This release will include engine updates, improved visuals, and new content (new locations, new quests, new music, and the addition of a new epilogue).
For fans of "janky" RPGs, with a great degree of freedom and a vast amount of content, this series is well worth a look, and this new release promises to solve some of the bugginess and stability problems that were present in the original version of To Each His Own.
yeppirates get the better experience
Yeah you get stuck at that screen with studio logos in Rise if you are offline.Even worse, now Tomb Raiders refuse to start if you are offline or block access to Epic's servers.
I believe Epic is forcing this, if you release older game in Epic. (or another crossplay solution).Putting that EGS online shit to (older) games is the worst idea ever. If they really need that piece of garbage, they could just implement an option before launching the game do you want to use that shit or Steamworks.
I just went offline to test it and can confirm it simply hangs. I could tolerate EOS as long as I am not required to link an account, but effectively making the game always online is absurd.Even worse, now Tomb Raiders refuse to start if you are offline or block access to Epic's servers.
I'm leaving negative reviews. Maybe I'll get quoted by one of those rags.I haven't looked but I guess people will start leaving negative reviews on all games (and tbh shadow deserves it). How long till we get a pcgamer article about the poor devs being review bombed because of this?

Stéphane Picq (french composer for video games in the 90's : Dune, Lost Eden, Commander Blood, Atlantis...) just created a new piece for the first time since 1998.
If you're wondering why the it's because there's a spiritual successor to Captain Blood in development. Free on Windows and mobile.

No worries. Everyone else probably forgot as soon as the games were releasedI completely forgot the TR games even had multiplayer.

I'll second this recommendation. Sea Dogs is a quintessential eurojank RPG that trades polish for ambition. I know a lot of folks will have no patience for janky games and to be honest, even I've come to be like that as I get older, but I do value ambitious game design a whole lot even now.For fans of "janky" RPGs, with a great degree of freedom and a vast amount of content, this series is well worth a look, and this new release promises to solve some of the bugginess and stability problems that were present in the original version of To Each His Own.
the site for it also says that the rest of the regions will get steam decks in 2022Valve also just posted something to that on their YT channel
Same. The developers made a choice, I choose to give my money to those that need it more and don't have a moneyhat to fall back on.With the EGS exclusive news, Salt and Sacrifice just went from a day one purchase to 80% off or bundle deal, if it all. This kind of shit really puts me off devs I went out of my way to support earlier (similar to Darkest Dungeon 2) and permanently tarnishes my opinion of them.

I'll add that the guy that made S&S worked with his ex-wife (at least) since Charlie Murderer, but since they got divorced he's claiming to have always been a one man studio, cancelling her work as art designer/animatorWith the EGS exclusive news, Salt and Sacrifice just went from a day one purchase to 80% off or bundle deal, if it all.
