Man, no one is talking about Circus Electrique on either forum and I just don’t get it.
Zen Studios has been doing their very best to piss off as many PC gamers as possible with exclusivity deals and anti consumer nonsense for their recent games. I'm not surprised many people don't care about them anymore. CE would have been a day one purchase for me if it wasn't made by Zen and published by Saber.

Old news. Has been on Steam since 2017.

(excellent pun aside, that's actually a decent game)
Yea but i wasn't talking about the western remake, i was talking about the original 1983 Visual Novel Everizingū released exclusively for the PC 6001 which sold 5 copies before it's rerelease as Everizingū ~ again ~ a year later which sold another 10

Kidding aside, it would be neat if someone could work on getting some of those ancient 80s (non-IBM) PC games from Japan localised and released in some collection on Steam. Tons of gaming history pretty much unavailable on modern platforms, or to a wider audience.

Sadly, there's not much money to be made there. Most of the production companies has either gone bankrupt, defunct, or absorbed into larger corpos which doesn't care about their legacy titles. Even the fan translation scene is still very small for PC-88/PC-98. Even smaller is the number of individuals who worked on non-eroge titles. It's been years since we've heard anything from 46Okumen, for example.

Even the "best" example of a PC-98 title ported to Windows on Steam is a middling eroge, at best.


Frankly, the only way to avoid the loss of these titles is through seeding the NeoKobe archives for as long as you could, or donating your game copies to any game preservation foundation which will definitely look after the media.

In the meantime, Geofront has stepped up to the plate, at least.

Reflecting on how 'Live Service' games, adulthood and capitalism game has fucked with my ability to engage with 'regular' games.
Starting a new JRPG is something I have to plan weeks before hand, because I know I'll have an exposition dump on me that might last up to 5 hours and I'm not sure if my attention span with last that much. It's easier to drop on Fortnite or Apex.

I just noticed that 95% of my total game collection across all platforms is backlog.

That being said, lots of games are unnecessarily long. But then again, I probably have 1500 hours of Apex played, probs could have played half an Assassins Creed game.

You know I had to get that Judgment bundle. I've been hoping for a Steam release even after all the drama with Johnny's.

Now I am adding two more games to my massive pile of Yakuza games that I need to catch up on.

Working on Kiwami 1 right now.

...So, from this I got: more Yakuza games, the constituency that has been waiting for Judgement must be besides themselves, and then literally I know nothing about any of the rest except Sims4, but I assume they're mostly JRPG's or anime and its likely why I have no idea what they are.
Thank you for also explaining for me why this thread exploded in the last couple days though, it's handy :)

Just about one more hour to go now.


Here is what it looks like.



By the way it seems that Judgement is one of the games that they are showing off on it. There are images of other games that I am not familiar with, there as well.
---------

I'm guessing that SE is going to be working on a way to make it easier for FFXIV to work on the Steam Deck based of that image for it in the background.

I guess I was too slow this time.

Also it's worth nothing that they have a desktop area, but it looks like it's only for 2 people and every one else will be using it in portable mode.


They only get 15 minutes to try the device.


From my understanding the voice that they use for the intro video for the presentation is the same person that does the voice for the Nintendo Direct in Japan. But I could be wrong though.
----------

By the way it looks like SE, and SEGA plan to support the device.

It says that Sonic Frontier, and Forspoken will be Deck playable.

Right, I definitely need to get back to my Yakuza 0 playthrough...
I keep dipping in and out of Yakuza 0, and have loved every minute with it, but keep getting distracted by other shiny things - a lovely problem, but there are, of course, too many games.

With these Like a Dragon announcements, and Judgment hitting Steam as well, I now realise there's no way I'll realistically get through the whole series, which has been my long-term plan.

It really is a wonderful time to be into gaming - something for everyone, and so much of it.

We need to go bigger.

They plan to do more of these and so far another one by some one that works for ASCII will be doing it tomorrow (this person is more of a technical person, so think of The Phawx and Linus Tech Tips.)

PS there have been a number of things announced at TGS that you guys have not shared yet some of which are mainly Visual Novels.

The line for the Steam Deck is pretty long from the looks of it. It may not seem that way from photos but that's because the line is actually at the back of the booth and then they guide them twords the front. The big empty space in the front serves as a gather spot to explain stuff to the guest before letting them run wild and trying the Steam Deck.



Is this a really weird format? Or has Nintendo done this in the past with their handhelds? I also just assumed that they had them anchored to a booth like 99% of game demos typically are, and this is why people are surprised when one of the people working the booth just hand one of the device to you and tell you to sit where ever you like.

Sorry everyone but Meta is now officially in TGS mode



Next up for the Steam Deck booth will be the creative director of Forspoken from SE
