Great timing for Steam to go down, I'm on vacation anyway

I've been playing some SNES games on my Vita tho, and it seems I'll stick to Chrono Trigger for now. What a lovely game so far!

When I used a SNES emulator I remember a game called Nosferatu which was kinda janky and then checked on ebay and for some reason it costs quite a bit (the bid I participated on ended on +200 bucks)

 

[Rosenkrantz]

Uh, seems like Steam doesn't have a usual publisher end of the week sale for a second week, strange.

I know they have quakecon sale, but that's different.

 

[Le Pertti]

I have such strong FOMO regarding fall guys! Will wait for a sale though, you guys better be up to play it still later on!

 

[Hektor]

Really hoping they are finally going to show XVI today

Borderlands 3, SFV and Spyro are the Weekend Deals

I don't think they are showing any PS5 games today

 

[beep boop]

who outside of Walmart management even wants this

SNES version rather than the PS1 version I presume?

Square Enix said there titles are going to be cross-gen for the time being

 

[NarohDethan]

Uh oh

 

[Hektor]

Uh oh

"The game is being rendered at 4K, downscaled to 1080p and then upsaled again to 4K"

dafuq?

 

[ZKenir]

 

[Swenhir]

Uh oh

Ouch, damning title. I expect a good watch .

 

[Hektor]

dafuq?

Trust me, i watched that part 5 times to see if i understood it right lol

it's exactly the 2 minute mark

 

[lashman]

if true: great port ... 10/10

 

[Hektor]

I'll need a new phone for NieR Reincarnation ;_;

 

[inky]

Disappointing. Game is still cheap enough in my region, but I'm gonna get poor perfomance on my 1070, might as well just wait for a patch and a potential 25% off.

 

[Ge0force]

Of course.

It's incredible how many great SNES games I still haven't played. The lack of internet for decent recommendations and the insane prices of SNES games were a huge problem in my youth.

Edit: it seems Chrono Trigger never got a PAL release in the first place

 

[Rosenkrantz]

I'm waiting for Steam reviews to fucking bury HZD if port is really as bad as DF says. And they have audacity to ask $50 for that? GTFO.

 

[NarohDethan]

Yeah Sony cheaped out on this one, should have handed it to a more skilled studio

 

[Trisolarian]

Sounds like classic Sony. Playstation or bust bois and grills!!!!

Don't buy this until they fix it guys. You're ruining your experience and paying full price for a PC port that resembles the horror shows we got 10 years ago.

 

[ZKenir]

Maybe you can try an android emulator

 

[NarohDethan]

KojiPro should have handed the port

 

[Hektor]

Maybe you can try an android emulator

But emulators suck for mobile game minmaxing siince you don't always have access to them

 

[Rosenkrantz]

Somewhere Phil Spencer opened a bottle of a century old whiskey.

 

[fantomena]

Just reached episode 6 in DS so that's it for today.

Game is so good.

 

[Stone Ocean]

"The game is being rendered at 4K, downscaled to 1080p and then upsaled again to 4K"

Ah yes, the resizing bitmaps on MSPaint experience

 

[Swenhir]

I posted in more detail in the HZD thread but the performance situation is even worse than I imagined. This is a pretty shameful port for such a release.

This isn't steam related but I need you guys to help me out please.
I've barely played mobile games and never spent any money on them.
My son does play them though and has asked me on numerous occasions to buy him in-game stuff which I always refused.
Today he asked me again and since I know that he really likes that game and it was only 2 euros I made an exception.
But when I completed the purchase the item was nowhere to be found.
I went to the store again and noticed that next to the price there's a "x10" in small letters.
Now, I'm probably going to come across as innocent here, but surely they aren't showing 1/10th of the price and then asking people to pay that amount 10 times, right?

The Switch eShop is a shitshow and hell to use, so I only use it when I know what to search after, otherwise I use DekuDeals.

With the lack of algorithms and discovery features, the console digital storefronts will be in big trouble for indies next-gen. It's pretty much just Valve that has been very active in solving that.

Yeah same, I just use DekuDeals for Switch. PSN is also hard to navigate with no improvement since PS3 era.

 

[Dragon1893]

It's based on the how to train your dragon movies. Rise of Berk

Before you get too excited, DON'T EXPECT PC PORTS OF ANY KIND FROM SONY, really doubt that stuff is going to happen in anything but blogposts.

 

[Cordelia]

Well it seems that HZD will receive a lot of negative reviews. Can't wait for "review bomb" articles and how "PC gamers don't deserve Sony's games".

Then they shouldn't tout this nonsense of "best on switch" "Saviour of indies" like they are Stockholm-Syndroming over their Switch presence

So what you are saying, refresh blog.playstation.com today?

Ah :/ sorry, no idea about that one

Some people just like disappointment....

Expect nothing except a few things.

 

[Dekunator]

Are there any decent android emulators that aren't filled with malware?

 

[ZKenir]

I dunno tbh, I haven't really dabbled much with emulators mostly because FGO on NA (until recently) had a SEETHING hate for emulators and wasn't really a good option, only few times I tried them I ended up going back to my ipad

 

[lashman]

 

[fantomena]

I hope PS4/PS5 get's Persona 4 Golden. More people need to play the game.

 

[ZKenir]

you do like anime huh?

 

[Nabs]

The cutscene artstyle looks dope. I'm not so sure about the in-game stuff, but I'll keep an eye on it.

 

[TioChuck]

Gameloop (used to be Tencent Game Buddy) has a bunch of options to play mobile games on PC, maybe it will work, don't quote me on that tho'.
