According to Tyler McVicker (yeah, I know) the latest big update for Dota 2 has been datamined and there are references to a "Steam Console". It's neither the old Steambox references nor Steam Deck related. Could we get a living room device within the next couple of years?

With the new SteamOS and Proton it makes all the sense in the world. Even more sense than a handheld tbh.

They are probably just trying to time it all correctly with new tech and gpu shortages. It will be much more difficult to pull off than the Deck so yea I wouldn't expect anything until 2023 or later.

Dear Phil Spencer,

Deathloop just froze my PC so hard that Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn't work -.-

This why you need Super F4 installed, just in case.

Disney brings its Classic Games Collection back with 16-bit 'The Jungle Book' and SNES Aladdin - Vooks

that's a bit concerning. anyone know when the Sable review embargo lifts?

 

[ExistentialThought]

I cannot wait until large capacity NVME SSDs become reasonably priced. I only have a 1tb m.2 SSD and a 6tb 7200RPM HDD. With how big games have become, most of my games are installed on my HDD. Though sometimes hearing the HDD spin up, makes me think it is going to fail haha.

True. Still quite accurate.

If it's just a one Klonoa game, i'd be ok with it, tho the listing for 2 trademarks has me wonder if it means that the GBA games and the 3D games will get rereleased.

better news

after deciding that travelling 600 kilometres every week and using up 1/3rd of all of my remaining money after paying rent and insurance was "eating away at my wallet", I decided enough was enough, and i did the only possibly logical thing left

i found a way to make the tickets cheaper so now i'm using 1/6th of all of my remaining money every week on travels
i'm also gonna buy a cane and walk around like gregory house

Yep, that's an Arkane game alright

So I guess Wizardry: The Five Ordeals new Steam release is on hold indefinitely for the time being? Seems to be stuck in some legal dispute atm or something

Apparently there are like 3 different rights holders for Wizardry? Someone owns 1-5, someone owns 6-8, someone owns something else? And one of them is disputing the Five Ordeals release

This is why Xseed was having issues releasing labryth of lost souls but eventually they were able to.


I sort of feel bad for Wizardry because in a way. It has a very rich history but from a modern day perspective it's sort of fallen into obscurity. I can guarantee you that if you were to gather a bunch of people and talk to them about their favorite video games and stuff it would most likely be the usuals suspects (well I guess that also depends because if you were to ask some one that is 20 years old right now they would likely answer Minecraft and not Mega man or Final Fantasy like 30+ year olds would) but I highly doubt any of them would mention wizardry.

I also don't think that there are other series that have to deal with multiple "parties", I guess technically Falcom games would be something like that? But at the end of the day Falcom still owns the IP and they could just do "remasters" of them all and self publish those games.


It's like those "film greats" how in it's early years it was a trail blazers and set the standard but as years went buy it eventually started to flip burgers in order to get by. From my understanding this is what's happened in film where there is a really talented director and then something new comes out that outshines them (owww shiney...) And they are just never really able to recover and keep on making hits/influencial works. That's what happened to Georges Méliès and from my understanding it's what even happened to Akira Kurosawa (I don't think he is that well know in modern day Japan by an average person? But I could be wrong)


Poor Wizardry, well at least it still has a cult following. May games like SMT continue your legacy oh great one.

Also spoilers in the video nice song though

I assume this is why Wizardry 1-5 probably haven't been re released either



Wizardy 8 remains one of my favorite games ever

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Wizardry was a hugely influencial game for future developers back in the 80s especially in Japan and it hit just as D&D was taking off. It was kind of forgotten over here as time went on but had a bunch of releases in Japan even after 2001 when Wizardry 8 released. Elements of it were used in so many great games it really is a venerable granddad of the RPG genre.

yeah but you know, i have this cat, very dear and amazing cat, had her my whole life and more, and she's just the most stunning piece of work you can't get these days, she's just incredible
also because i want actual food instead of instant food and the same chicken with rice in soy sauce

Now that's what I call presentation.

I know that at events some indie devs sell Steam keys but I was wondering how they present it to you. Is it just the code on a piece of paper? Do they email it to you?

Historical lowest price - Never bundled.

If you own the rest of "Frictional Collection" games you can get "Amnesia Rebirth" for even less money.

Have all of those so that'd be a great deal that I'd have jumped on back when I could still convince myself that this will be the horror game I finally finish and won't alt+f4 at the first hint of danger

 

[Le Pertti]

Yeah it is safe to say any game that goes EGS is going EGS for a reason.
