How it looks when i want to buy something more advanced than cheap keyboard in this God forgotten country. I checked all stores in my city if they sell Oculus Quest 2 and answer is nope, then i checked all stores in my country, answer is still nope, then i checked stores in neighbor countries answer is still nope. Then i started checking local and regional sites similar to Ebay, there are offers for Quest 2 but 64GB version costs between 450 and 600 euros (in Austria for example it costs 350 euros). And now i am currently looking if someone from my family or friends or their friends/family will be coming here to bring me one but so far no luck.

And that is how it looks when i want to buy more advanced tech. Between companies not delivering here and high import taxes i usually give up instead of looking for a way to get what i want.

i guess the gamers:tm: in US didnt noticed it yet to rant about it to Bend/Sony
iirc EGS doesnt even has dev backend for this so sony cant noticce demselves unless someone from the region shows them
and also since there's no backend - they don't even know they're selling it at a much cheaper price in those regions, and won't know until someone tells them

No victory skit as well.....

What have they done to my Tales.....
Their animation company said this game seems to have the longest yet, so I'm expecting tons of skits in the style of Berseria.
Gotta say, the combat skits were getting tedious really quick in a long game like this. Wouldn't miss it if they were really gone.

Playing Tales of Arise day one if it comes to Game Pass like Queen said
It would be another sizeable get for Microsoft if they can get Tales of Arise day one on Gamepass. July is when my subscription of ultimate expires. I'll be finishing up my Bachelor's degree in May. So if I can get a job within a couple of months after I graduate then I can keep my Gamepass subscription.

Whaaaaaat? It's honestly kinda shocking that Steam is getting these before the rest of the main series lol. For a while there it really looked like they would never even get localized, let alone come to PC. I was worried that the initial collection had done poorly since it's been so long and nothing has happened since, but hopefully this means Ace Attorney 4-6 are on the way too.

Now about those Miles Edgeworth Investigations games...

Steam Playtest feature now fully released
Invite players to test your game without having to manage keys or external mailing lists



The Steam Playtest feature is now fully released, allowing the developers of any game on Steam to set up and run a playtest within Steam for free. Since launching as a beta in November, Steam Playtest has seen over one million players participate in playtests across 161 different games.
With this most recent update to the feature, we’ve added the ability to grant access to a playtest for players in a specific country. This can be useful if you have regional servers that you need to load-test before accepting more players.

Steam Playtest is a new feature built right into Steam, allowing you to invite players to test your game without having to manage keys or external mailing lists. You control how many players get access, when to add more players, when to open testing, and when to close your playtest.

The new tools let you host Playtest signups right on your Steam store page, and grant access directly through Steamworks (no keys needed). And because the Playtest is delivered to customers via a separate appID, it doesn’t interfere with your main game’s wishlists, playtime, or user reviews. For more details, please check out the [UWSL]Steam Playtest Documentation[/UWSL].



Additionally, Playtest apps have their own community hub, so they can also have their own events and announcements. This has many potential uses, including:
  • Schedule an event to invite your playtesters to join at a particular time to help stress-test your game or servers
  • Post announcements when you update your playtest
  • Alert playtesters to the progress you’re making, or when you plan to turn the playtest off

For more details on how to get started with running your own playtest, please check out the [UWSL]Steam Playtest Documentation[/UWSL] or watch this tutorial video:



As always, this and other features come about as a direct response to feedback and suggestions from developers like you. You can always drop us feedback in the [UWSL]Steamworks Developer Group[/UWSL] or by using the [UWSL]Support link[/UWSL] at the top of the Steamworks website.

Cheers!
-The Steam Team

Let's see if the nostalgia goggles hold up...

Apparently Game Pass is up to 23 million subscribers which is up from 18 million in January. A Steam version could easily add several million more.
Their 1st party and Bethesda stuff hasn't even started rolling out this gen either. Its really impressive. I can see 45 million by the end of the gen. If the cloud/mobile shit takes off it will be even more.

Its funny how Sony and Nintendo fans brag about software sales but with Gamepass Xbox will soon be bringing in more money every year for their 1st party than Sony and Nintendo combined. No matter how big TLOU or Mario is...you will only able to release 2 big games at most every year. Games are getting so expensive to make too. Its the same for MS but they basically have a side business to maximize profit like crazy and still sell in traditional style on top of it. Its guaranteed revenue too so you don't have to worry about flops, reviews, metacritic, etc.

Or everything is locked, and you just get to choose between two fixed modes with n0 other resolution or framerate options.
I mean, it's UE4, so they'd have to actively work on having a resolution/framerate cap.

English gameplay.



Ray Chase & Erica Lindbeck are voicing the two protagonists. I don't recognise the other VO.

Combat is pretty much a mix of Berseria & Xillia. (Link attacks/strikes)

I wonder if Go Shiina is involved. I seriously hope so. His stuff is great. :drinking-blob:
