It was previously in this middle ground between GFWL and Steamworks so that saves could be transitioned over. The setup was weird though and it always wanted to install GFWL unless you blocked it. This cleans up all that and means you don't have to fiddle with stuff to get it running on the Steam Deck.

To this day I still have the Home Sweet Home track from BGE1 as my ringer.

I wonder if media players like vlc can support this in some way later on? that would be neat.
Would be interesting to see if that super resolution stuff could be done on offline content, how it compares to others like Topaz Gigapixel AI and such.

I wonder how this will impact historical research and documentary.
No word on whether or when it will come to Linux
According to the JP PS Blog it might take more than 6 months for the Steam release

a year+ for egs, then another year+ for steam

Passing off the processing to the end device and doing it live could be great for everything and certainly a convenience for what you personally decide to watch. A convenience for sure and maybe a way to save money if you can upscale account limited video output from Netflix and the like.
But upscaling been a thing for years and I'm not sure how much I've watched outside of the occasional upscaled video of life in a
Although, it will be nice to see my super special adult entertainment video collection from the 90s in all its glory.
Based on Square and Epic's recent exclusivity history, I have my doubts it will be EGS exclusive.

Going by everything they keep showing and saying Steam people won't be missing out on anything anyway.

Ah, the RTX Super Resolution increase GPU wattage used when enabled.
I got ~38 watts on firefox (disabled), while on Chrome:
quality level 1 ~80 watts,
level 2 ~100 watts
level 3 ~200 watts
level 4 ~300 watts
This is watching the same 1080p 60fps video on yt, on a 3080.
That's enough reason for me to turn it off really. I watched yt/twitch in the background most of the day. Although it did clean up twitch streams real well.

Uncovering unseen details is precisely what upscaling pretends to do, and here lies the rub for historical applications.
The problem is that any ML-based upscaler can introduce detail that's not there in the original, but that comes from the training data set.
Imagine a grainy photo of the inside of a 15th century home. It is grainy and the floor is at an angle, so you have to use your imagination for the details of the wooden flooring.
Now upscale, and the flooring type becomes clean and crisp... but it's a 17th century style flooring.
Why? Because the upscaler was trained with a dataset that contained images of 17th century style flooring, and it fit. It doesn't know not to use it for that particular image.
ML-based upscaling is therefore a dangerous tool to mix with historical research: it can lie to you very convincingly, by combining bits of disparate stuff. (Just like human memories)
(That might have been what Cacher meant when referring to the "impact [on] historical research and documentary"?)
FF16 graphics look insane but I can tell that this is not my type of game. I generally don't like games with extremely flashy combat. Tons of particles and VFX on screen. Way too busy.
I honestly know nothing about this kind of stuff. It was just a quick thought from me when I saw the tweet. Thanks for the explanation!
IO Interactive is working on an online fantasy RPG! The online part gets a side eye from me, but more RPGs is a good thing.
Because of course it's online. IOI can't help themselves.

I don't know if I'm influenced by the vibe here but yep, I took a peek at the new FF16 video drop and it's... nothing.
It still has the dubious UI when playing invocations, the mobs are a little spongey, no team, rotten QTE up the wazoo (rolled my eyes so hard when they opened a gate God of War PS1 style...).
It could still be good, but it's worrying. I agree with Derrick, a glimpse at the world and how the game plays out of fucking combat would do a lot of good.
I don't understand how the man behind XIV is giving us this. No idea.
Epic didn't pay for a bunch of their mid releases, they will for final fantasy
I mean, if there is one exclusive they logically would aim for, it's FF.
About those POS (Square and EGS) :
18 march 2022, Stranger of Paradise.
I'm waiting.
I think the PC version of XVI will release simultaneously on Steam and EGS.
So it will release only on Steam.
I expected that would happen pretty fast but maybe not this fast.
Hopefully next step is for someone to figure out a way for it to work as an offline workflow/program/app from which you can render a super res video out into a file instead of the "live" way it's done now.
Will be interesting to compare the results too.
Ahhh mindless trend chasing, a tale as old as time.
What's up with these shit prices Prime Matter does. Scars Above looks good, but still looks like Returnals weird, janky little brother that got lost in the mall, yet they price the game very high, not Returnal high, but still high.
Same thing with Gungrave Gore, a janky as hell game with deep flaws (even though I really liked what I played of it on gam pass), but same thing, a high price.
I played both Scars Above (demo) and Gungrave Gore (game pass) and would buy them in a heartbeat, but not at those prices.
I just want them to make the historical hitman game assassins creed failed to be

I'm taking this as a low-key confirmation that we're right and S-E are just fumbling everything behind the scenes lol. Like, imagine having a 6 month exclusivity period on the latest title in your flagship fucking franchise and somehow managing to not have the ports ready to launch the second the exclusivity window closes.
for some reason I thought Cyberpunk was already Verified on Deck?
nah was marked as playable up until now, I recall checking only a week or two ago
Games with their own launcher should not be marked as verified. When I played it on Deck, sometimes the gamepad would not work in the launcher and I had to use the touch screen.
I'm at my wit's end and at the same time in full sunk cost fallacy effect on Ys 8.
Trash fire of a game. It also doesn't want to end.
How they massacred the combat is beyond me.

Oh nice was wondering previously will it come to PC. Glad to see they added the PC port to release simultaneously

I probably should have gotten Titanfall and l4d2, but was just drawing blank. For that Titanfall pic I was actually thinking that it might have been the 2007 Shadowrun game, but couldn't find anything that even resembles the screen so I left it blank in the end.

Damn, the PC gamer review of Phantom Brigade by Dominic Tarason is less than stellar.
