2) According to a leaked memo, Sony is currently beta testing firmware update 2.5 which includes support to suspend/resume games from standby mode. Other features arriving include the ability to remove 0% games from the trophy list and 60FPS video support for Share Play. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-be-suspended/ 3) Some Valve related news:

I am still wholly and utterly confused about every single aspect of Steam Machines. Like... is it supposed to be a PC gaming machine? Isn't that... what a PC is for? You can build a bleeding edge PC and install SteamOS on it for way cheaper than those prices. I simply do not understand.
|
I hate to be negative about it because I love everything Valve touches but I can't see this as anything but a colossal failure.
|
You have outlined why it will never be profitable for them.....
Unless (and there is a very HIGH probability of this) people are too lazy/stupid to realize this and/or do exactly what you said. |
But PC gamers on the whole are exactly the opposite of that (lazy/stupid)
Like, if it's marketed towards console gamers wanting to get into the PC scene, that's one thing, but even then why would someone with a PS4/XB1 shell out a minimum of $500 for another console that takes more work to get running? I don't know. Feels like I'm missing the super-obvious point of this |
Add me to your mix, I fail to see the point too. Same with NVIDIA shield.

I think Alienware is coming out with a console too.
Maybe all these PC consoles can be updated like a PC, but it's streamlined in a way that us dumb consoletards can easily perform? So it's basically giving you the higher power capabilities, and upgrading capabilities of a PC without having to learn the intricacies of a gaming PC? I dunno |
No Killer App. No go. Until they understand that, they'll all fail.

Still. Can't wait to fire up Ori. Looks like my kind of game. |
That's a lot of choices to be included in that Just Cause 3 collector's edition. I'm willing to bet it'll be a hefty price tag if all the "expensive stuff" gets voted in.

I bought, played, and beat Ori and the Blind Forest over the weekend.
I really enjoyed this, and any fan of the Metroidvania style games should check it out. It is a quite short for a game of this type, but a lot of that has to do with everything being easy to find. There are even abilities that reveal the locations of power ups on the map. Ori controls beautifully, and there are bunch of abilities you learn along the way that make him(her?) even more of a blast. You get abilities through both story progression and through skill trees that you unlock through collecting spirit points. You get these from defeating enemies and stomping poor defenseless plants. The most interesting is the save system. There are a few save spots throughout the world, but they are very sparse. The way you save your progress the majority of the time is creating your own save point. Like a save state on an emulator. However when you create a save point it takes a block of energy away from a meter you are given. The energy in this meter is also used to open doors, and for big charge attack. I should also note that it is only possible to access the skill tree at a created save point. This creates a great level of depth to the game, where you have to think carefully on how to best use your energy......until about a third of the way into the game, when you've collected enough meter extensions to where it;s not even an issue anymore. Seriously, this was a great idea, but it is completely underutilized, thanks to the abundance of power ups. The game is freaking gorgeous. It is definitely one of those "indy game making a case for games as art" types. The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful. The difficulty isn't particularly challenging. I died plenty of times, don't get me wrong, but they were mostly dumb mistakes, and I never felt anything was truly challenging outside of the escape sections. Oh yeah, that's the other thing. In lieu of boss battles they have these escape sequences that finish off each section of the map. They're fun, and as I said, more challenging than the other parts of the game, but I think they should have thrown in a couple bosses too. This type of game just feels like something is missing without them. That brings me to my rant. I know it's kind of a tired and cliched thing to say, but.....wow, today's gamers are pussies. I've been seeing this game get a lot of criticism. Why? The escape sequences are "TOO HARD". I'm not even that great of a platformer, and I was able to beat all of them in a handful of tries. Mean while, all these people are saying it's "cheap bullshit". No. It's not. Everything in these sections is fair. And in fact, I can see someone who is exceptionally good at platformers beating them on their first or second try. Anyone who says the challenges in this game are cheap, doesn't know the definition of the word. They should pick up an NES and find out. The problem isn't with the game. The problem is they suck. Sorry. Had to get that off my chest. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyhoo, while it's short and has a few other minor flaws, it's still a lot of fun, and at $20 bucks, I don't think the brevity is even an issue. |

Rayman Legends is a challenging game for sure. I am on the level called "All Hell Breaks Loose" or something like that, and GOD DAMN the last section of that game where you have to drop walls while sliding down and moving saws, wall running, flipping from side to side.... it is definitely hard. I don't feel like it is cheap though, just matter of the correct button sequence and timing. Solid post man (y) Quote:

How in the fuck did the Zelda thing get that much traction without it being real? I gotta look up the articles breaking it, something's not right.

Something something ethics something journalism, dark side.

A lot of article broke this with a VERY high degree of certainty. Feels like somebody backed off this. Nobody spoke with the usual grain of salt that they would with rumors. That or this was one huge jumping the gun.
This isn't an ethics thing so much as a possible case of circular citation. That's a much older journalistic issue. Often seen with techie sites. |
The internet wins again.

How so? It's kinda our fault the news got so big. Eh.
