What is there to say? MSRP means little in the PC's digital market place where game prices fluctuate and sales are abundant. And setting the price of their wares is well within the publishers' right anyway.

No, it's not true in the slightest. Super-fans will tell you ever minor detail carried over from the previous games is integral to understanding the next when all it really amounts to is a few references going over your head and needing to exercise your faculties as an adult, extrapolating things from the context provided.

So Sen no Kiseki's localisation is confirmed then. Figures. People have been saying there was no way they'd leapfrog the other games in the series and release Sen, but it makese sense to do so given that Sen is a smaller project than the others and a sort mainstream-oriented shift for the series which is quite capable of standing on its own.

Yeah. You can. At the end of the day they are just off-the-shelf PC parts that you can all buy seperately anyway (albeit with a bespoke case).

I thought they were already out and no one really cared.

Personally I'm excited to try my hand at building an mini-ITX console-box type machine now that the motherboards/cases let you have a no-compromises (single-GPU) machine. Just waiting on the right chassis to come along because right now none of them take my fancy.

I'm not sure why you would. There was no real compromise on the console versions of the game, so naturally this is going to look very similar and the same resolution.

I dunno. I thought it looked great. The populated/town areas in particular because there's so many unique (and colourful) assets, which stops the game looking like a generic collection of assets.

@Neonridr: Yeah. On a pure sales basis it would make the most sense for none of these games to be exclusive.

But from an "alienating" their customers perspective there's no double standard as SF had no established presence on the current generation systems until the announcement of SFV, which was clearly exclusive from the off.

SF wasn't on the X1 or the PS4, so if you bought a X1 for SF you really only have yourself to blame - Capcom never suggested SF was coming to X1 and admitted clearly that it was a PS4 exclusivity deal from the off. It was displayed in giant letters at the end of the very first trailer. There's no goddamn way you could have missed it.

There's only one group of people that got burned into buying an X1 for SF: The people who ordered one in the two minutes between the...

Why on Earth wouldn't it come to PS4? We know it's a timed exclusive rather than a full-on exclusive. That alone pretty much confirms it. After all if it is coming to non-Xbox systems why would they miss out one of the biggest systems [PS4] out there?

Eventually a GOTY edition is going to come launch and it will come to every platform that it is viable for.

I have to emphathise with the sentiment here as someone who writes on videogames. I wish people (myself included) had less hangups on writing smart sounding critical mumbo-jumbo and actually enjoying the game.

For that reason I've made a habit of dedicating my weekends to playing games soley for my entertainment and my entertainment alone. With zero intention of getting an article out of them. The result? I enjoy myself more.

Well they did say the next Witcher game (if there is one) won't follow Geralt's story...

TBH I think the wait is more of a formality than anything else. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see FFXV launch simultaneously with the the console versions. Heck, it might well be that an Episode Duscae demo has been in the works for the PC this whole time and SE are simply waiting for AMD's PC event at E3 to announce it.

Clearly the FF series has been sucessful on PC, otherwise we wouldn't see The After Years or be hearing of things like this. And hey, ...

If they are going to be showing it off live, and on laptop hardware no less, hopefully that means they have confidence that the port is a solid job this time around. It should be as it would be using a PS4 base, which is very similar to the PC.

And I certainly hope they have. I can't believe how bad FFXIII-2's port job is.

You mean there's no tesselated genitalia in this game? Man, I want my money back... or dick. Whichever's easier to arrange.

Because at certain resolutions the fps advantage between the two is basically negligble. That is at least according to Game Debate:

True, you aren't getting much bang for your buck once you go past the 970, but the Titan X wou...

Long enough that they've got a stock pile of GTX Titan X's that weren't fabricated well enough to meet spec.

And now that stock pile is significant enough that they can be rebranded GTX 980 Ti's and sold at a price reduction. Better than them sitting in a scrapheap.

That's odd. It should look like a graphics card.

A 7% boost is still a 7% boost. Can't find anything to complain about there.

I have mixed feelings about it. It kinda reminds me of a micro-switch d-pad.
