Valve killing indie games all the time.
This is a lot less interesting. The boost is small, and that is only for the 3 following weeks. You cannot realistically expect a festival of temporary demos to have a long-term effect after the demos were delisted.
If I understand that statement right, then wishlist additions which occurred during the festival are ~ 4 times more likely to be converted to sales than the usual wishlist additions. That is a pretty impressive boost in wishlist quality.
Put that with the ~ 5x boost in wishlist quantity mentioned above, and that is a recipe for success. Basically, you get a surge in wishlist additions during the festival, and these wishlist additions are of higher quality because people tried the demo.

The Zwei games are good. Ilvard Insurrection in particular is A+. Ony of my favorite Falcom stories probably and just very neat.
The similarities with Tokyo Xanadu are mostly surface level though (dungeons with scoring and light puzzles, and Kou uses the same weapon type as Ragna in Ilvard Insurrection)... but that's more than it shares with Xanadu Next, lol.
Your demo being so bad people who play it lose all interest in your game is valuable feedback for a developer too, I guess.Valve killing indie games all the time.
My mailbox this past week or so:
Please stop
In all seriousness, this is a great sign of a healthy environment and platform.

Yeah, fuck these guys for selling their backers to Epic, and for releasing this game in a broken state despite the extra cash they got for doing so.
Sorry, for interrupting again, with a post completely out of focus.
But I've been out from the gaming loop for such a long time...
Is Resident Evil 8 actually good. I enjoyed RE7, a lot. Is it in the same style/quality?
thx in advance.

Feels like Skyrim was here since the PS1 days.
Yeah. It's basically RE7 + RE4. If you liked RE7 it's more of the same but better in pretty much every conceivable way.
Without getting into spoilers, it tones down horror and/or jump scares. There are far more varied environments and enemies. It definitely has a different, yet familiar, feel compared to RE7.
Overall I loved it way more than 7, but I could understand someone liking it less than 7 depending on what they liked about 7 and depending on their thoughts on the story.

Well worth the asking price for The Ballad of Halo Jones (great series by Alan Moore with an amazing protaganist) and Zenith (early Grant Morrison book, a cross between Cthulhu and Super Hero stories). But most of all America, an excellent look at the price that is paid for Democracy set in the Dredd universe. In fact there are very few books I wouldn't recommend in there.
The FF Remasters do appear to have a very real issue with scripts just not loading sometimes.
I had 3 moments in total, 2 of which during FF3, in which the game just didn't load an event, forcing me to Alt+F4 the game and having to replay a part.
i literally just defeated the boss of FF3, and instead of watching the ending, i am stuck watching this animation on loop

Yea, overall impressions I'm seeing everywhere are pretty middling.
If it launches like this, and based on Evolve, I'm thinking Left 4 Dead was good in spite of Turtle Rock.
Fanatatical have a sale on for the Dead End Re:Quest games. Bundled version is around £15 and down to 35% of their keys left.
Dead End Re:Quest Bundle
They are available individually as well.

Coming from the developers of Evolve
It's almost like Left 4 Dead's quality had something to do with Valve's involvement or something. Nah, couldn't be. Valve bad.
L4D just feels so timeless, it still holds up incredibly well today. Its simplicity just makes it so easy to drop in and play. There are no modern trappings like perks/traits/cosmetics/etc. and I think the game has held up better as a result though I can see why folks may be itching for something different yet similar.
Not saying no one can ever match it or surpass it, but I think it will always be tricky since it has so much mindshare when folks think of co-op horde games. I think even calling a game Back 4 Blood was a mistake just since it will always draw comparisons given the name convention.
I will say, Vermintide is way up there in terms of matching L4D, but I think it is because it largely found its own style rather than sticking to more familiar themes (e.g. zombies, military guns, etc.)

Isn't this just Quantum Conundrum all over again? Creator nurtured and helped out by Valve, go solo and the next game doesn't quite work out as well.Coming from the developers of Evolve

Or again again seeing as Evolve came out before Back 4 Blood.
On a completely unrelated topic. Today I learnt that Oxenfree II is coming out, even though it was announced back in April. This has made my day, loved the first one. Need to go back and see if I can get the best ending on the first one.
And on yet another completely unrelated unrelated unrelated note, we can now see why square was so keen to take a deal with EGS on The World Ends With You Neo.

Oh yes FromSoft....give it to me!
Maybe new story trailer at Gamescom and then preorder goes live...?
Regardless best wishlist click ever on Steam
Li Kao Forget SteamDeck the Yoko Taro approved OneXPlayer is much more powerful....
OneXPlayer - DroiX UK
... and ONLY €1,300. lol!

Is it, though? Intel Xe can't be much better than the RDNA2 based GPU into the Deck, and RAM is probably faster on the Deck too. Given that high resolution, most games will probably not perform well on the oneXplayer, or require you to use non-native resolution, which will not look great.
Deck feels like a better overall package.
Being someone who hasn't played any Soulsborne game in my entire life:
Maybe whatever was left of that Stadia canned horror game will come to fruition on Gamepass.
I wonder how much of it Kojima has/had rights over. If Google really did fund it he probably doesn't have much to work with so Phil will have to throw down a lot of $$$.
But Kojima is due for something soon as his team usually releases a new game every 3-4 years. The marketing for it has to ramp up anytime now.
I've probably watched more hours of Soulsborne Let's Plays and Lore Videos than many hardcore players have played the game for!
Case in point, i'm watching Aoife and Ian from Eurogamer playing Demons' Souls on PS5 at the moment.

So does this mean it fails at differentiating itself from Left4Dead or jus that is fails to be as good as Left4Dead?
Its trying too much to be modern Left 4 Dead(shamelessly), but misses everything that made Left 4 Dead great, the characters are unlikable, the maps are too short, the enemies are unremarkable, the AI director is too dumb, and everything around it is mediocre.
For what new is trying to do, the card system is just a gimmick that makes the default state of the game pretty bad, the weapon system with finding attachments through the map is somewhat neat, but both has color rarity for some reason and some weapons are pretty boring to use(theres a lot of weapons in this game).
Theres some fun to be had, but $0 to $10 fun, not $60.
Took a peek at Eurogamer stream of B4B. Well, this is certainly Left4FuckingDead with a fresh coat of paint alright. I don’t want to be unfair and too judgemental but this desire to go back to the well feels a little pathetic at first glance.
Not that it is not understandable, not saying that the game will be automatically bad because of it, but boy, this is Left4Dead.

As someone who loved left4dead 1&2 and wanted something to replace it or at least succeed in its place it's #2 in that category
I played l4d2 every morning at work because I got in first by like 2-3 hours and did versus mode and regular runs etc and back 4 blood just feels off
I don't know if anyone here usually follows the modding scene for the Dark Souls series but I just discovered about Archthrones mod that has been worked on for DS3 and it sounds impressive:
According to on of the tweet replies they are aiming for a late 2022/early 2023 release.
