Adding to the Lenovo Legion Go S rumor:

Leak: Lenovo’s larger Legion handheld adds OLED and keeps the detachable mouse

Lenovo’s SteamOS handheld isn’t the only one coming.

www.theverge.com

But we are much more confident in our prediction that the smaller Lenovo Legion Go S will be a SteamOS handheld. Blass showed me filenames that suggest the S will be “powered by” Steam, mirroring Valve’s new branding guidelines for “Powered by SteamOS” devices.

Tifa is too hot. I can't focus on anything when she's on screen. Well, I'm focusing on something but it sure as hell isn't the plot.

This reminds me of Pseudoregalia having an accessibility option to give the main character pants.

All i want to look at is Tifas eyes.
All i want to hear is Tifas voice.
All i want to smell is Tifas post workout sweat.

I want to walk the same earth as Tifa.
I want to breathe the same air as Tifa.
I want to hit the same gym as Tifa.

If Tifa needs a car, she can have my legs.
If Tifa needs a chair, she can have my back.
if Tifa needs a punchbag, she can have my chest.

I must say that one thing from TGA that made me bit sad was new Warren Spector game. I really wish it was SP game and not MP one.

 

[toxicitizen]

I hope the new Onimusha game means Capcom will go back and remaster the other games. I'm still annoyed that they only remastered the first one. I really enjoyed it and was looking forward to playing the sequels but they never came.

Onimusha 2 was my favorite by far. Replayed it so many times.

I'll just quote my reaction from the Geoffs 2024 thread

"A new world premier by Warren Spector, the maker of Deus Ex!" Yes
"IMMERSIVE" OH YES
"MULTIPLAYER" FUCK

 

[Arc]

I achieved a high enough rank in Marvel Rivals to get the Moon Knight skin they're offering (I haven't played Moon Knight yet). I like the game a lot more than I thought I would, but it's going on the back burner for now so I can play through Indiana Jones and the new Helldivers 2 expansion.

We really need an Onimusha collection on Steam

 

[Alextended]

So from TGA I'm interested in Project Century (brand-new concept from Ryu Ga Gotoku studio except it's totally Yakuza in a different time period too, hah, still awesome, I love all their stuff, like Judgment), Okami sequel, new Onimusha, new Virtua Fighter (& old one first) and some smaller stuff like Ninja Gaiden. Neat.

Oh also the Naughty dog Jedi game since that's coming to PC too eventually.

 

[dex3108]

I'm really not holding my breath for adequate port quality.
I'd be positively surprised if they have a working LoD / draw distance setting or ultrawide support (never mind both).

TEXTURES - The Level of Detail (LoD) for background models and MIP maps for background textures can both be freely configured in the options settings. With this background polygon density and texture density can be set higher than was previously possible, allowing for gameplay with higher-quality graphics.

[yuraya]

Well, you got one prediction right at least

Even the safe predictions are hard

Well at least Valve never disappoints. Or in this case continues to disappoint.

Also Silksong devs had to of restarted development on that thing or something. No way it should be taking this long to release.

 

[STHX]

Very well Square, I'll give you a chance and firmly believe there is nothing wrong with showing support if someone is doing a good job, so this one is on me
But Jan is still VF's time to shine. Maybe it's true it was "10 years too late", but I'm always on the "better late than never" camp

And yet Sony still haven't released Demon Souls, a game that seems like an absolute no brainer for PC.

They are on the verge of running out of games to port to PC so I think it has to happen next year.

So far we are getting TLOU2 and Spider-Man 2 for the first half of next year.

But what about the the summer and second half? They have to start thinking about Demon Souls and Bloodborne if they haven't already. There is really not much else for them to do next year unless they push out Astro Bot early. And I don't see them doing Gran Turismo.

Either they have to go to DS and BB or maybe they go for very niche titles like Gravity Rush + Shadow of the Colussus.

Or the 2nd half of next year is gonna be dry for them on PC.

Also if they are able to acquire Kadokawa in the next 6 months...I could see FromSoft being allowed to straight up port BB to PC/PS5 and maybe even the OG Demon Souls.

I would expect GT7 and Demons Souls. Basically anything that has a native PS5 version I expect first, then older titles depending on how they're approaching things. Most likely do native PS5 patches then PC. They should also get the PS4 versions of UC123 on there at some point. Ship has sailed on them doing decently when they brought UC TLL + 4 instead of these first though. Either way, first all native PS5 games is how I expect things to go.

I don’t think Bloodborne is coming anytime soon

 

[Joe Spangle]

Schreier was right. I actually did say, Holy s**t!

Just caught up and this is the only game I'm really interested in.
Love The Long Dark. I hope they release the last episode of the mainline story before this sequel drops.

 

[MegaApple]

I've posted about the insane regional pricing, hoping they notice.

 

[Dragon1893]

After what happened with TLOU2 I'm actually surprised that ND set themselves up to be targeted by the same basement dwelling neanderthals again.

Kudos to them for sticking to their vision.

The amount of hate and entitlement in the gaming community is just sickening. Can't help but notice that it's especially strong among Americans.

Yeah, I’m delighted that they didn’t budge an inch after the TLOU2 reactions from the chuds. I wish Star Wars had that kind of backbone.

I wish for Shin Onimusha, remember fondly of it as one of the first ps2 game I saw

Yeah, why would they?

PlatinumGames might be dying with several departures being noticed:

Is PlatinumGames dying out?

This isn't just a reaction thread to the Okami news, there's some evidence. Metal Gear Rising director Kenji Saito, Astral Chain director Takahisa Taura, and Anarchy Reigns director Masaki Yamanaka have all removed the "PG" from their Twitter handles. Indicating they're no longer working at the...

Wasn't Gran Turismo in Jensen's Prophecy?

FF7R showing up on green man gaming for pre-order @ $40.17 USD.
If you're gonna pre-order might as well get it cheaper. Though waiting to see the port quality is probably wiser.

I'd be surprised if it was much worse, since Square Enix does seem to carry the scars of their worst ports. Like, after FFXIII I'm pretty sure they haven't released a single game in a long while that doesn't pop up a window to ask if you're closing a game. Maybe shader pre-comp will be something similar.

 

[Hektor]

To those that played it (if any), is there any chance Astro Bot is gonna come to PC eventually? Or is it reliant on specific hardware features like the VR game?

 

[Arc]

Finally committed some time to Indiana Jones and it's real good.

There are some motion control gimmicks that already have an option to be remapped to the joystick. A PC version would be easily possible.

I can tell you, is going to drop on PC before Bloodborne that's for sure lmao

Nice, thanks for the answer everyone, i kinda really wanna play it right now lol

If you have a PS5 there’s no reason to wait

no nude modes on PS5, though

I still wonder if this game is real or not?

I don't, first playstation console i didn't buy (thankfully)

"Real Astrobots play with a Dualsense controller"

 

[yuraya]

Astro is definitely coming.

IGN reported last month it only sold 1.5 million copies in 2 months. The game awards will give sales a temp boost but Sony is gonna want much more.

They will expedite the PC port asap. Wouldn't surprise me if exclusivity is even shorter than Spider-man 2 which was 15 months.

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

Astro looks fun but I dunno what all the overhype was for.

Discussion - What are you currently playing? (Week 51 of 2024)

New week, new thread! What are you playing? Continuing Girls' Frontline 2. Said more than enough. It's good. :face-with-stuck-out-tongue-and-winking-eye: I also returned / restarted Ar Tonelico. Now playing it on my PC screen instead of Steam Deck. Such a charming game.

[dex3108]

Next year kinda looks really good for games. PC is getting Rebirth and Spider-Man 2 in January, then comes jam packed February with KDC2, Civ 7, AC Shadows, Avowed, Like a Dragon Pirates and MH Wilds. We are also getting Split Fiction, Fable, Mafia The Old Country, TLoU Part 2, Borderlands 4, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Doom Dark Ages, Little Nightmares 3, South of Midnight... And god knows what else. And there is even chance that GTA VI will pop up on consoles.

 

[Cacher]

We are approaching year's end, do you have any gaming plan for the upcoming year? Here are my two main objectives:

1. Dive into the Witcher series. My only experience with the IP was a few Netflix episodes (which were pretty bad). After watching the Witcher 4 trailer, I did research and made a trip to the library and grabbed the first two books. I am going to slowly read through the books and play through the games (if I enjoy the journey, of course).

2. Continue my adventure in Girls' Frontline universe. GFL2 at the moment is very enjoyable, but the 8-year accumulation of GFL1 story as well as its multiple spinoff was a world waiting for exploration and truly demands time investment. Have already started reading through them since a few months ago.

They should help me reduce the spending on new games, too. I can just borrow the books from library and buy Witcher 3 (which is dirt cheap on sale. Already own 1 and 2), and the story playthroughs of GFL1 are on YouTube. Cheap ass gamer wins.

In 2025 I will continue to play games I enjoy the way I enjoy, and I will continue to buy games I want to support at launch and at full price if they earned it
I won't care if they're AAA or indie, I won't care if they're western or eastern, I won't care if they're SFW or not, I won't care if it's niche or mainstream, I won't care if someone else on a random social media is angry or offended about these games
Also I will play a new SRW next year. If Bamco won't provide me with a new one I'll just pick one I still haven't played

 

[lashman]

In 2025 I will continue to play games

we don't do this sort of stuff around here!

Alright Forza 4 bought, got the ultimate for the lego! now I have a very meagre winter sale budget.
