I think level-/dungeon-design around the mechanics of a game can also be had with "designer-wants-it-that-way" as long as the "verbs" of a game are not just shoot/swing sword and "press button to interact". Would also argue there is place for a more authored experienced in games though I would believe it is much harder to pull off enticingly as a system-driven approach so we mostly see combat encounters.
I think I spoke too categorically, and you are completely right. Uncharted games reflect what you say for instance, and I love them to bits. It's just that we aren't getting a lot of the kind of games designed around the ethos of systemic gameplay that Valve so embraces. They are much harder to create, you are right there too. Since the outcome can't be controlled, the approach has to be really different and can't be solely outcome-driven, but have an underlying vision. Not that there isn't one in the other case, but this is one instance where I feel it's really indispensable.
That being said, I'm not a designer and I've only watched so many GDC videos. It's only what I can imagine.
In some cases, the designer's hand is so heavy that it frustrates me and makes me stop buying into the experience. When done right, it can be amazing.
Well the PS4 also didnt have an exclusive worth a damn for like 3 years
Publishing a new TLOU2 trailer when Youtube is full of leaks and spoilers is... hmm... a peculiar move. I can already see people searching for the trailer on youtube and finding story leaks instead. lol

Has there been any recent news about further PC ports of older Suda 51/Grasshopper Manufacture games?
At the time killer7 was announced, there was talks about a Flower, Sun and Rain port, but I haven't heard anything more since then.

I had the opposite reaction, it looks like... nothing particularly interesting from this trailer.
What are peoples thoughts on ghost of T.
People do seemed hyped for it. Especially when there was talk about a new AC game a week ago and people were asking if it would be set in Japan people were saying that there was no need because of Ghost of T.
Also the internet is a wild place sometimes you see things so crazy and out there that you are not sure if that person is real or just messing with you

When I looked at the combat I immediately started to dislike it but that's just me personally. It looks really good visually though
I just really did not like the gameplay of the first game, and the story of this one doesn’t appeal to me. It’s like if Mortal Kombat was completely 100% serious and only over the top in violence and grimdark.
But it’s obvious if someone’s a fan of this kind of movie, well here’s a game very much like that kind of movie! This is the dream of gaming in the Clinton years realized.
Only thing I have left on my PS4 wishlist is:
Paper Beast (hoping for a PCVR version)
Ghost of Tsushima
TLOU 2
Medievil
Concrete Genie
Judgement (hoping for a PC version)
KH 2.8 (hoping for a PC version)
Yakuza 3-5 Remastered (hoping for a PC version)
Yakuza 6 (hoping for a PC version)
So basically just 4 games that are full PS4 exclusive with no hope for a PC version unless Sony changes their mind.
I'm amazed from a technical standpoint. The facial capture, the animation quality and blending, hell, the acting are amazing.
It's also utterly depressing and I'm not getting anywhere near that. The first one was a lot more tender between the explosions of gore and violence. This is just gruesome

Yeah my PS4 shelf is eerily similar
I really shouldn't have bought it
Me too. I bought one for Bloodborne. Played it. Thought it was pretty good but i prefer the Dark Souls formula. Then it sat on a shelf for a few months and i ended up giving it to a friend. Dont think ill ever get another console.
I was thinking of getting a PS5 sometime next year mostly so that I could play PS4 games. Then, in 2023 when there are also good PS5 games, I'll say to myself "damn Wildebeet, it's too bad you can't play those cool PS5 games. Yeah, I know. I've only got this PS4 ... Oh wait!"
But by that time the fan will run loud and I'll be looking up how to run it in a dishwasher to fix it, or whatever those console people do to fix things.

I need one of those super ultrawide monitors right about now.
Today I finished Far Cry 5! About 30 hours or so. I liked it. Looks good, ran pretty well, I tend to just mainline the story doing the odd side quest if i can be bothered or if it looks interesting. I do like Far Crys for mindless shooty bang fun. Thought that the setting of middle America was ok, think i prefer 2, 3 and 4 overall but i still have had 30 hours of fun so looking forward to 6 (and buying it on Steam for £15ish in a sale hopefully)
I don't know why but this line is hilarious.
That trailer was a big swing and a miss for me. Technically interesting but yeeks way too dark for my tastes.
Guess my grimdark bloodlust simply peaked around Natural Born Killers. And that s**t was satire, lol.
Sure the cinematic gaming crowd will eat it up though.
Just played the demo for Ghostrunner, and goddamn, I had to stop playing, its just too good and I don´t want to spoil anything for the full release.

It’s about much more than just enabling PC ports.

Never thought we'd see the day that Nintendo started porting its games over to PC. Entirely against it's will, sure, but I'll take what I can get.
I wonder if within a few years we'll see full remake versions of N64 games, not just textures.
Looks like the GOG Deus EX/Dungeon Siege problems are handled now and don't require galaxy anymore:
They had previously posted about fixing dungeon siege, this was just the latest update about Deus Ex

After reading your comment I downloaded the demo and finished it in about 8 minutes (it does look promising!). You can safely play without actually spoiling anything major! or minor...

Thanks for sharing.
Finish getting ready to finish the fight!
I might have just purchased a 3800x 
wallet says
I now need a Motherboard (going with MSI B450 longass cringe name) and PSU (going with the corsair RMX series, probably, still not sure about it)
I also still have to convince myself that I'm a very responsible adult and I don't need a new case. am I?

Footage of cancelled Prince of Persia: Redemption from 2012 surfaces
A gameplay trailer for a purported Prince of Persia reboot titled Prince of Persia: Redemption, which was uploaded to YouTube in March 2012 and has since gone unnoticed, was noticed today.
www.gematsu.com
Probably 100% bullvid like Ubisoft used to do back then, otherwise I don't see why they'd cancel something that was that far ahead and that nice.
It really evokes Sands of Time era PoP in a nice way and without too much cheesy grimdarkness as common in the PS360 days. Lots of brown but yeah.
Free Shit

I really hope I'm not ruining your purchase, but Intel is going to launch their new 10-series of CPUs soonish (~end of may), new mainboards are already being presented. The new 10700 series of 8core/16thread CPUs could end up in a similar price range as the 3800x. AMD might have to reduce prices for their own 8 core line up, or you could get a faster Intel 8 core CPU for a similar price. But price gauging and availability will also play a role.
Ok, thanks Nzyme for the heads up, THIS IS REALLY COOL!!!!

Speaking of cool things coming....
Code references were found not so long ago (thanks madjoki for your pics as always) so this might be coming sooner than we thought.
