I'm not watching it. I have a huge backlog, and with all these great games announced for Steam and/or Microsofts Xbox app already, I don't care what Epic moneyhats. I'll boycott it anyway.

The only thing I want to know is the reactions of the public when Epic is using the word "Exclusive". ☺
At this point it is not even about the exclusives for me. It is just the sheer hypocresy, smugness and assholery by Epic's part.

And that's not mentioning how PC Gamer sold out lol

Btw, hello MetaSteam, are you ready for the E3 Epic Gaming Show?
Hi, Cordelia! :peekwaveblob:
Nice to have you here. :highfiveblob:

If you are watching the stream, we should have a thread soon, with live chat.
I'm sure this conference in particular will be a lot of fun with fellow Meta members.

lashman , please put a 18+ warning. I rarely curse in my daily life, but I'm prepared to throw things at the screen, and make a sailor blush with my language. :cuteblob:

in the most important new possible after 10 years the Doom wad Sunder has been updated with 4 more maps. It's one of the best Doom experiences of all time. Highly recommend. It's very pretty and very difficult. it's the best doom thing released this year. (sorry SIGIL)

I'm fully ready to ignore it completely. 🤭
I'm ready for disappointment and heart crushing exclusive announcement.

oh, we're ready ...

Sharpening my pitchfork atm to use when they announce KH3 EGS exclusive. :heroblob:

Ah, that Toki remake.



Lovely visuals (it looks really cool!), and the same old gameplay.
Which means, after a minute of playing, I had died twice, and was already ready to throw the controller. :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Yep, they really nailed the gameplay!

For those unfamiliar with it, it's the kind of game where dying enemies, or destroyable obstacles, throw things your way when they die/are destroyed, catching you in mid-jump, with no chance of escaping. And obviously, one hit, you die. :p
Yep, that kind of game that makes you want to smash a controller when you start playing it, but thankfully when you get better, you'll lose a lot less (but, you'll still die).

Hmm, hoping this doesn't mean it's going EGSclusive. I've been looking forward to the new Age of Wonders for a while.

Usually it's great when the remakes keep the essence of the original, but as you said Toki was known for its brutal difficulty, so I'm a bit disappointed they decided to keep it hard as nails :( It certainly was one those games were the arcade stick and the buttons at the arcade received so much abuse :D

It was funny, I launched this new version today for the first time, I looked at the visuals and thought they were really cool, but plenty of remakes using this "animated" art-style have poor animations or gameplay, so I was wondering about the actual gameplay. Would they properly reflect the original? Would they update it to modern standards?

After a few seconds, I said out loud: "Yep, that's classic Toki alright." :giggle:
I mean, it's been ages since I played it, so after a minute or so, I already had lost 3 lives. On the first level. :face-screaming-in-fear:

How are the bosses in the remake? The first one was kind of easy, but the rest was pure madness. It required perfect pattern memorisation and execution.o_O
