Well, that was fast, lol :blobeyes::blobeyes::blobeyes:



Oh snap.


Today we are excited to announce that Microsoft Flight Simulator will have TrackIR support available on day one, and VR support will be available later this year in time for the launch of the HP Reverb G2!

 
We already have a thread "what game are you currently playing", but it would be nice to have a thread where we can rate the game we've completed or abandoned. I see several people posting this in the monthly threads, but bundling these "mini reviews" would come in handy to decide what to play next for me. What do you guys think?
 
Nowhere Prophet, Grounded, Golf With Friends, Carrion, The Touryst, Yakuza Kiwami 2 and F1 2019 were added to Game Pass in the last week. Not bad.

When I try to start The Touryst...

welp. gonna try it at super speed.
What the hell. Why would you take the effort to make that dialog rather than just fixing it?
(I don't mean fixing it to run at 144 FPS, that could be a lot more involved, just fixing the refresh)
 
No Steam version? :(

Maybe later, the PC launch for the game is super weird. No PC announcement, no official PC press release, just "coming to game pass on Xbox and PC" and that's it. Don't even see Shin'en acknowledging the PC version in any other way than them retweeting this 15 days ago:


Almost like they are ashamed of the game coming to PC (via game pass for now) that they have no interest in talking about it.
 


Interesting thoughts. Especially the bits around PS4 exclusives on PC.

Could you please write the important stuff? it's 2 hours and 45 minutes long and, well, not really into so long stuff that isn't my favorite podcasts :cat-heart-blob:

EDIT: I just saw the correct fragment as there was time selection inside aaaaaand I don't agree with one of them in particular (the host?) who says PC gamers are more in with open world experiences but not so in with linear experiences, I mean, I don't know if that person has seen the top charts of the stores in general but the huge amount of variety of genres in such tops, heck, as an example, Plague Tale's main platform was Steam until Gamepass appeared.

And also don't think that statement of "they release HZD 1 on PC so you jump into PS5 for number 2" that narrative is the one that is being pushed a lot right now in the forums and it's more defensive than anything else, although I agree about the timings, don't expect things from last year to pop-up all the sudden and not 1-year console exclusve but way more long periods of exclusivity.

Anyway, didn't found it interesting at all, yes, some data points are more or less the same as mine but overall I didn't see anything different from a forum level discussion (once again, from host mostly)

Murayama showed up on the discord and mentioned an important victory happening today so they probably just signed with a publisher, and maybe got the best terms planned based on the money raised. Said it was directly due to the Kickstarter success so not sure what else it could be.

For fun I made a bet and so far the third day thing might be correct (at least internally but not for the public) :cat-heart-blob:

Publisher will probably be 505 Games, it's the one that makes more sense.

This thread here does that somewhat:

Though I'll admit I've been really lazy this year when it comes to review writing :grimacing-face:

Any chance they're going to announce it before KS campaign ends? If it's 505 then I think I'll back the game since they'll probably end up doing some 60$/70€ pricing nonsense.

Oh, he still finds the energy to bite us hard and jump everywhere like a madman. I'm not too worried, it would just please me if I had a cat that liked water.

40 Degrees for you tomorrow? I'm sorry son

If anything, they will probably announce it once the KS has ended to not cannibalise potential backers, but of course can't know such thing :blobclosecry:
 
Same, and my apartment has only one window. No draft.

My only saving grace is my AC unit, and it's sweating bullets right now :p.
I swear, every year we say that we should buy one, and every year we don't. We are officially stupid.

From the kickstarter text it was given I thought they somehow implied it was going to cost about €60 once it got released.
Once again, I might be completely mistaken but that was what I assumed by reading it.
 
Please don't give that channel any views.
WELP! there it goes.

As I said, the takes of that specific fragment was nothing better than forum level, I don't know the specifics but when it comes to PC knowledge doesn't seem to be very precise.
 
Seems like Horizon is climbing up the best seller list now.
Yes, it started 2 days ago, release is approaching and requirements were published so a lot of people is jumping in right now, probably will enter in this week's top 10 seller list, probably at 8th or 7th place.

Projection is higher than Death Stranding too, so yeah, will be interesting.
