noooooooooo
also, theres a huge difference between Tales of Arise and that ...cursed... gif
yup, absurd to see kotaku make a good point, but i agree with them here. i dont like discord, and a chat will never really replace a good forum.
(disclaimer.: i only read the headline
but i agree with that)
The game starts with a nice tutorial set of missions that ease you into the game's mechanics
Once you clear them you will know the base aspects of how to play the game and will lwt yoh clear objectives and anu possible side quests at your leisure
At which point, explore away and KICK SOME HEDONIST ASSHOLES OFF THE ROOF WITH GLEE
Battlefield 2042 Beta On September 22? Everything We Know And What's Rumored
A multiplayer beta for Battlefield 2042 is coming up soon (we think), so here's what you need to know.
www.gamespot.com
The date for Battlefield 2042 in the GeForce leaks matches the release of the beta.
Either it is a huge coincidence and the full game was planned for release on September 22 at one point in the past.
Or:
- it is not the release date of the full game, it could be the start date of beta-tests in some cases,
- it is recent info. Indeed, a deleted tweet from July gave another piece of information.
The latest piece of information was from August 31 "when multiple insiders reported that the beta could begin on September 22". Since the GeForce leak happened on September 13, the info may have been added after the release date was reported by insiders. Still, it shows that the database must have been updated recently, at worst after July 22, 2021, for some entries.

Guess the plan to release the rest of the game at once has changed then.
Not sure I should play this now or wait for it to be finished. Chapter 1 was kind of a prologue thing, I guess the next chapter will have bigger story moments and it would suck even more to have to wait years to finish it.
The field was named earliestReleaseDate, so presumably it comes from set of game versions ("variants" in geforce api), one of those could be beta...Battlefield 2042 Beta On September 22? Everything We Know And What's Rumored

Yeah, I hate, HATE, Discord bug report/technical help. It is not searchable, and even if discord chats could be searched by Google, 90% of all tech help and bug reports are in private messages.yup, absurd to see kotaku make a good point, but i agree with them here. i dont like discord, and a chat will never really replace a good forum.
(disclaimer.: i only read the headline
Instead of a 5 minute search, I have to go to a discord, ping the bot, wait for an answer, which can take hours if the people doing the support are not working right now.
Also, it is questionable if the support is still available 2 years, 5 years or 10 years down the line. I can still look up answers in Forums 10 to 20 years later, it is not possible with Discord.
Also, most answers in Discord are vetted and approved by the company, answers and workarounds that are not liked by the company will never be mentioned.

speaking of TGS, browsing and looking into it reveals some cool stuff:
- konami are gonna reveal surprise titles for oizumi something, playgism and some kuroneko team, edit: the oizumi game was revealed just yesterday, called Magicians Dead: Force of the Soul something
- konami are gonna reveal surprise titles for oizumi something, playgism and some kuroneko team, edit: the oizumi game was revealed just yesterday, called Magicians Dead: Force of the Soul something
- sony xperia phones are making a comeback on TGS, with an app called "Xperia live" and chances of winning their phones (i'd like one)
- sega / atlus will cover SMTV, "Sega Net Mahjong", fist of the north star legends revive, mario sonic 2020 olymp + official game, lost judgement, phantasy star online 2, and other stuff
- nintendo is gonna attend for business, nothing released yet
- bloober team is attending, observer system redux is listed for ps5, xsx
- koei tecmo, dynasty warriors 8 is listed for xsx, ps5
- 505 games apparently gonna do something about unturned
I am kinda pessimistic for a new SW game because (1) it's way too soon for another game and (2) I doubt the next game will be a RPG.What if....
Let's see, at least it has presence at TGS (the concert) so I am excited towards it.
I would add the rated Castlevania Advance Collection. It may appear in a Nintendo Direct but no ones know when will it be announced.
Blade of Darkness demo released in Steam, go check it out!
Controller support is in (through steam input, just remapped keyboard controls, didn't try it), widescreen, UI size, but no AA or mipmapping (unlike old version with dgvoodoo), also its still pretty stuttery for me :-/

Looking for reasons NOT to buy Eastward right now, need help
25 euros.
Edit
Well, that's my reason anyway. I intended the abrasiveness as part of the 'joke' of the answer, but you obviously do you and if you buy it, that's cool !
I don't know, my reply felt really dry.

My reason is I have to save for the Deck!
Yeah, it's in the back of my mind with every potential purchases these days. To expand on what I said in a thread on ERA, there are still 3-4 releases that could trigger my impulse purchase, but I will try to not buy shit. Doable, the games are not 'oh my god stop everything' caliber.My reason is I have to save for the Deck!
Then there is Forza on Game Pass.
All in order to fund the Deck and if there is more saving, some PC parts upgrade.
my reason is because i get like, 800 dollars a month from student loan, where 550 of it goes to rent, 30 goes to insurance, and then i use 100 every week to travel home and back
basically i am broke
Keep your eyes on the Prize. Graduate, Get Job, Pay off Loan, Swim in Cash. Done.

Steam Community :: Megumin :: Review for Eastward
虽然这游戏让我期待了很久，不过pc版本多半是基于ns的暴力移植。 游戏全屏只有720p，虽然可以通过视窗模式调整画面尺寸，但最高只有900p。 默认720p，最高900p，眼熟吗？对，这就是ns的“标准”分辨率。虽然我不敢肯定，但这个游戏在ns上多半是以掌机模式720p、主机模式900p的条件下运行的。 当我对此有些生气的时候，游戏推送了一个小补丁。 我以为是官方修复了分辨率的bug，是我错怪他们了，兴冲冲的下载安装，进入游戏，然后我看傻了： 新补丁不允许你调整分辨率，同时也不显示游戏分辨率，但画面依旧是720p！！！！...
Use google translator for that review.
82% is not great. I would go with one of these instead.
Natually, it depends on what appeals to you in Eastward.

Wait, so "Very Positive" is not good anymore? eh.
The main thing is it's just out so i'd wait a day or so to see how the reviews settle out as many seem to be placeholders which happens a lot on steam. Most of the negative reviews aren't in english either so is that a "Please release in my language!" bad reviews thing?
Anyway as with all things, check the discussion threads for a general overview of the game's state too.
People are saying try this if you want a similar game that has both a crafted story mode and a roguelike mode.
I've not played either so couldn't say.

Is there any source for this? Since cloud gaming is a thing now there would be no better time to release Xperia Play phone.
well yeah duh, i just don't want some lame job like an IT consultant, i'll get the bachelor, move onto master, not get a phD because then i'll have no job and less pay, and then idk do something worthy of the education
what can you really work as if you have a master within informatics at norway's biggest university
yeah, TGS themselves
Exhibitor Showroom | TOKYO GAME SHOW 2021 (scroll down to Sony marketing):
wait just as i'm writing this, it's gone, edit: well i meant comeback as in "i've not seen xperia phones since like several years ago i wonder what happened to them", and i'm not so sure on the app, i just saw Xperia live
It's a 2D game, right? Don't really see the issue, assuming the game is designed to show you a fixed view, then what you want to do is upscale the image in integer scale, which you can just set your GPU to do anyway. I think you can set integer scaling in both Nvidia and AMD drivers.Steam Community :: Eastward

- the game was being developed for Nintendo Switch @720p,
- a similar build has been released on PC @900p max in windowed mode,
- with a post-release patch to force @720p and hide the resolution setting in the options.
How are these people getting @1080p then?

Output resolution could be 1080 but the image still looks a bit blurry to me, so maybe it's rendering lower internally. Might just be all the post processing and jpeg artifacting though.So:

That image doesn't look native to me.
(Even for what "native" entails for a 2D game obviously)
Don't think there's is much you can do at 1080p if the source image is a 2D pixel art game at 720p. The next integer scale upres (2x) would be at exactly 1440p, that would give you a sharp image again. And the next one after that (at 3 times the size) at 4k.
Alternatively the developer could try to literally increase the view you get at higher resolutions, but that might introduce tons of issues if it's possible at all.
Pretty good website (if you pick a gameplay screenshot like one from Metal Slug or Zelda):

Almost all negative reviews are Chinese. :: Eastward General Discussions
And they all complain about a 60 fps / 720p limitation. Nothing wrong with that, and I feel bad for them. I hope it's just an oversight in the Chinese version, which can be easily and quickly fixed. Just wondering if the same is true for the other localisations? As I don't see non-Chinese...
Me wonder about what type of devs Valve is sending the Steam Deck to
I was not expecting that, on one hand it makes sense seeing how the game was very popular but yeah..... Once you find out more about the type of game that it is and stuff that's where the surprise comes from.
For those of you that can't see the post the dev is from Japan
-----
I could be wrong but part of the NDA is that you can't share video of other people's games. So I'm guessing that person is a dev of that game.
The games does run on the Steam Deck but it does have some little freezes here and there when choosing options, but that's why devs kits are being sent.

Am i reading this wrong or they combined 3 platforms and then compared it to Steam numbers?
Yes, but it's not "wrong" just misleading? dodgy? Basically it's blowing smoke up the asses of the Investors to make them feel good. Nothing new there.
Looks like it. I am guessing the orange figures are the pc version. Looks like it is more designed to inflate it's stats for share holders and investors.
Yes. This is some crazy spin.
Everyone manipulates charts and stats, but this is so woefully obvious. Who would fall for it?
