Last I remember it got hammered really bad by the critics to the point it was scoring well below the first Hitman film and was legit in the running for worst scoring gaming film of all time.

Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive edition is on sale for 4.99. This version adds two new areas and some new abilities.

If you have any interest at all in 2d platformers, this is a no brainer, especially at this price. Fantastic game.

What platform(s)?

Only the dead one

Xboner

It's on PC as well, lads.

PC version doesn't seem to be part of that sale though

I don't see this in the XBox 1 store O.o.

Need to own the original game to get the upgrade discount.

ahh

So the big news of the day is that Microsoft is breaking down the walls and gonna enable cross platform play with PS4 and PC starting with Rocket League.

This is how it keeps being reported, but actually it's only going to be XBox and PC along with the current PS4 and PC playing together, at least at first. PS4 and XBox still won't be against each other, although MS have no said thats fine.

There's a PSVR conference happening at 2pm PT today. Some sources claiming there will be "big" news.

Not gonna make a thread as they're not streaming it, but some sites will no doubt be live blogging. Hoping we get a date and price though,

$399/399 Euros/349 GBP/44,890 Yen, launching October for PSVR.

More VR related news: I pre-ordered the PSVR.

Wait, LucasArts is back up and running again?

They never went away. They were talking in December that they haven't given up on 1313 somehow.

Might still be a shell of its former self but they got bought out by Disney a few years ago as part of the bigger Star Wars series and Lucasfilm studio purchases.

I remember posting the news Disney just up and shut them down the second they handed George Lucas the check and sold off everything to whoever wanted it.

EA grabbed Battlefront, no takers for 1313, I think there was something else in the works, wasn't there?

Battlefront uses no code from Lucasarts. EA just grabbed the license deals so they didn't take over any projects.

I just want my god damn Boba Fett game.

Did a quick Wikipedia check and it seems they only ended up doing a partial shut down. They closed down as a video game developer but kept enough staff around to help Disney's other studios with projects and dealing with licensing out LucasArts properties.

Amazon Europe stores sold out of PSVR within minutes. Likely to be very limited stock at launch though.

EDIT: Back up, might have just been Amazon being funky.

Sold out in 45 minutes according to Amazon UK. They can't guarantee release date delivery on orders after 11:45.

Wait it out, broseph. It's not coming till October, and I bet there will be better priced bundles with the camera and controllers soon, if not 3rd party alternatives.

I already have the camera and controllers. Amazon UK are already out of their initial stock advisement, so anyone ordering now won't get it for release day and after using one, I want it ASAP.

Motion controllers? A regular PS4 controller will of course work but come on now :D

Also, my account application for Neogaf got removed after months of delay. F 'em.

Yeah, couple of Moves for £5 each new in box, Thought I may as well.

Got the charging stand coming tomorrow for £3 too.

Yeah, I told them to keep you out for the safety of the forum.

Just reapply. Mine took like 6 months, they're slow as shit.

Shit, I have like just 4,000 less posts on GAF in 3 years as I do on TPWW in 12 years.

What's the application process for neogaf? I've been declined on gmail, and private domain accounts as well, and always rejected.

It turns out it was for the best anyway.

No idea, probably to the whim of the mods. I used my website admin email address and even that did nothing. They don't even accept public domain addresses anymore.
