This is the first time I hear of DQ X offline. I'm curious, I guess "offline" also means "single-player" here? (Rather than "not an MMO, but still with MP, which would be more interesting to me)

I think a model with an OLED screen would be nice, but don’t read too much into people buying the most expensive model and Valve having free reign to price how they want.

In the end, if Valve can get adequate storage on the base model then that will be the more popular one. It’s just PC gamers know 64gb is nowhere near enough.

The Deck’s price right now is good enough. We shouldn’t be hoping the price goes up and some sort of specs arms race ensues.
You're right, but I would not be surprised if Valve would ditch the $399 model. It's the least popular model, because like you said its storage is not enough and Valve is most probably selling it at a loss or at least making no profit from it. Making new hardware is always an act of balance between price and feature set and you can only do so much when you sell your console for $399.

I think marketing-wise, even with its limitations, the 399 model was absolutely the right call.

The whole impact and reception might have been entirely different without that headline price (even if it doesn't end up being the model most people actually choose).

Yes and no. Basically they took the storyline from the MMO and made a single player, normal, chibi Dragon Quest
So it is really a new game, new code base and everything? That would make a Western release with localisation also far more likely.

I don't really care much for THPS 1+2


But THPS 3+4 is what I personally grew up on and I was hoping that they would work on those but I guess not.... .

Enjoy your games everyone.





Rodney is just a madman in that video.
I don't see why they couldn't just have it be release by 'Blizzard' at that point?
I mean besides the usual reasons Activision does anything to streamline their output to COD and Blizzard MTX.

Probably because it wouldn't be on brand.

But if they really wanted to release it then they wouldn't have absorbed VV into Blizzard in the first place

Dragon Quest X Offline launches September 15. An English version will probably never happen. :crying-face:
Keep up hope, it will happen.
It's not like there ever was problems with Dragon Quest being translated, right? :cryblob:
Maybe for the Xbox port in four years :illuminatiblob:

Also, that new version of DQ10 looks... pretty bad honestly. The chibi art is not the most flattering, even the 3DS versions looked less weird... and that's largely because the environments are quite big, and the characters are the tiniest they've ever been, the proportions are really off for chibi DQ.
In DQ10 they don't look like cute characters with big heads to show more expression, they just look like squished babies, it's kinda creepy.
Original:


Offline remake:


And the 3DS remakes for comparison:

How/where do you do that? Cant find that anywhere
Ugh, I got hit by a steam cloud error on the PC, but I can't find how you correct it like on Deck. Great.
That being said it's FF7 and I understand SQ is shitting the bed with their launcher today (error 6900), so maybe it will pass.

Steam version is already confirmed, actually.


What we need is an english version confirmation now.
Yeah i meant an english version, that version will probably be region locked too

Making a JP only PC port and Steam release seems pointless, so I think the Steam release pretty much is confirmation of an English localisation

Tiny Tina is coming to Steam June 23 which makes it a 3 month EGS exclusive.

on 1:14. the wall of games show Tiny Tinas Wonderlands...which isnt sold on Steam yet. hm. i wonder if thats one of the sneaky things they do sometimes (like, Mirrors Edge Catalyst showed up in the reveal of the new Library before EA games were back on Steam)...or just a mistake.
You were spot on. Nice eagle eye. :smart-thinking-blob:

A Steam release is not a confirmation of an english localization, after all Bandai Namco released this on Steam without an english localization only in asian countries, wouldn't be all that unlikely for Squeenix to do something similar:

GMG has changed it’s so system it seems, tiers aren’t now permanent. So that explains that recent query in the thread

The previous video showed a first look at the TFE GPU Renderer, which showed rendering sector geometry but no objects or HUD. This time, I run through another level to show objects, the HUD, weapons, and the automap. There are still a few issues here and there, but the GPU renderer is getting much closer to the finish line.

Of course, the software renderer will be maintained. But the GPU Renderer offers much higher performance and correct perspective rendering when looking up and down. Despite what the UI says, the renderer uses 8-bit palette emulation.

Note - the remotes are a lot harder to hit without auto-aim. :)-

The cloud status icon next to Play button might be clickable when cloud is out of sync for any reason. I think that's what I saw when I was messing around with Elden Ring saves to get all the endings.

It's a little troubling that I don't remember it with 100% certainty considering I just did it like couple of days ago. :rip:

Yes, it's single-player, in the vein of DQIX from what I remember.

Both Bandai Namco and Koei Tecmo have several JP only PC ports under their belts.

I stand corrected, I guess then it is at least possible that there might be an English localisation at release.

Hmm, I'm not seeing anything like that.



Hopefully it's just a bug, although I don't really need cloud TBH because I only ever play on this PC :V

It looks like this for me

Then you click "Out of sync", then it fails, then you click retry and it maybe works. But clicking Play always fixes it for me.
In my case it happens when I have games installed both on the Deck and Desktop, playing on one machine always causes the other to display the sync errors until I play on the other machine or manually resync. It's a bit annoying.

Nothing for me, but opted out the Beta and it's gone so that'll do for now :V
