Funny that I'm playing through Brothers right now and then I see this story. And Brothers is one gorgeous game. Totally didn't expect it from the studio behind the Riddick games.
It's amazing how fast UHD panel prices have fallen in around two years. Here's hoping in another two years a 4K/G-Sync combo isn't out of the question.
Funny thing for me is pretty much none of these patches have done a thing for me. The game ran fine without them, and runs pretty much exactly the same with them. No certifiable improvements, but nothing bad either :s
"First up is the obligatory launcher, which fills me with both joy and terror. The good: we’ve got English and Japanese options for text and voice"
Voice AND text! Sold! No need to import a Japanese version when I can simulate the experience with this, and with whatever PC bells-and-whilstles it comes with.
Zero was my fav out of the old-style RE games. I liked the awkward truce between Billie and Rebecca and found the game removed some of the pet grievances I had with the series (or at least reduced them).
But I seem to recall it being really easy. Then again I when I played REmake Remaster I felt that was really easy as well.
Wonder if it will also include Golden Abyss. It may not quite have the scope of the other games, but that didn't stop me enjoying it in its own way.
"Tamaki, known for acquiring industry secrets for his Unseen 64 show, has managed to confirm that an Uncharted collection IS happening. According to him, the collection will be announced at E3 and will be a way for Naughty Dog to make up for the Uncharted 4 delay."
Reading. Life skill right there.
“The amount asked for initially has nothing to do with the real cost of making the game.” – Katie Chironis, Polygon"
1) That seems true to me and 2) It's not uncommon either as Kickstarters aren't used to fund games outright but "kickstart" them into production.
I see no issue with what Polygon said, other than it being kind of pointless to state in the first place because "well, duh".
I've heard stories that certain parts of Crysis 2 run poorly on AMD cards because there's a metric butt-tonne of water tesslation happening in scenes where no water is actually visible. A minor hit to Nvdia cards, but a huge blow to AMD ones.
The implication being that Nvdia pushed for the spurious use of tesselation simply to shoot down AMD, even if it meant their own customers had to eat a small framerate penalty of their own.
The GOG version updates itself through GOG Galaxy. Likewise versions on other platforms update through their respective platforms.
One thing I love about this is the modder has included all these handy tooltips that explain what each setting does. Really useful.
5's story was defintely too long. It just kept twisting and turning well after it stopped being believable. And the game was hampered by the techincal limits the devs ran into.
Ishin on the PS4 on the otherhand runs a faultess 1080/60, and shook up many of the issues I had with 5 in minor and major ways.
The only thing with Ishin is that it has a very different structure than the other games, making it side-quest heavy. Think of it as the Majora's Mas...
I'll probably pick up the import when it's cheaper. Felt the series ran out of Steam with 5. Ishin was excellent, but it was also a pretty big depature for the series (and in more ways than just setting).
TW2 had considerably fewer moving parts. Smaller, less complex areas with fewer concurrent operations happening under the hood. The game didn't work as an actual game once they put it together as it was more complex in reality and cuts needed to be somewhere.
CDPR have said this themselves, it wasn't an issue over technical grunt, but the game simply not working (as in literally not functioning as intended). A downgrade never happened because no version of TW3 that lo...
That's precisely what they did with the vertical slice. Show off a what they thought they could do before all the parts came together. Then the parts came together in an actual game and it didn't work anymore.
When you think about visual downgrades it's normally the open-world games that get hit hardest, and that makes sense given that they have the most moving parts.
I love how someone disagreed with you, perhaps completely oblivious to the fact that there's a wide range of potential PC builds (and other extenuating circumstances) that can affect performance :S
You've got to be kidding me. Instructional Manual piracy is now a thing? Why? The only people who would ever want one are those that own the game (and they'd get one anyway!) :S
"There's nothing inherent about buying that there's a time loop that then says that Rinoa must be Ultimecia."
Didn't say there is. But the most important part of that theory that makes the story rich with plot seeding is that it is a time-loop. And the two intepretations tend to go hand in hand.
For all intents and purposes you don't think FF8 is a series of events, but a meta-story built on a plot device of time-looping. Something y...
If you buy the time loop then you've bought the most important part of the Rinoa = Ultemecia theory.
The events without the loop are just events. There's nothing thematic holding them together as a story (rather than a collection of happenings).
Since we are listing dream features how about improvements to diagonal input on the d-pad? The Xbone d-pad handles the cardinal directions much better than the 360 controller (rarely a dropped input, even with a light touch), but has a habit of dropping diagonals. It's somehow more responsive than the 360 controller, yet less consistent... and I'm not entirely sure if that's an improvement or not.
Can't believe it is this hard to get a d-pad right!
