Wow, wasn’t expecting this would be released on Switch!

Ah! I read something that sounded like another delay, but then couldn’t find a different date and honestly not bothered enough to look this up

Totally with you @AlexM, I don’t mean to endorse the practice. It might be a way to keep the discussion going on social (I’ve seen many about this topic). If they’ve left the door open for emulation on the machine, they can always sweep in further down the line to boost sales “we listened to you” and so on.

Yeah MS is really biting into the “service” aspect of their business, after that kick in the nuts at the Xbone launch (when they offered a way to limit circulation of used copies).

Bad video for his standards, I can sense his fanboy excitement more than when unwrapping a phone…

but yeah if you want to see in video and real world scenario

Isn’t this necessary to make you pay for the subscription to play older games?

Also this could come down the line as a sw update?

HL2 was crashing turning into the first room on the ATI cards it was bundled with... I think it'll be fine

Not exactly a giveaway, but received a discount code for Vampyr from GOG. In case you haven't, should be accessible at this link for one day still

it's a 75% off so it costs £8.

Tom Holland + Mark Wahlberg in the movie, what can go wrong? ? no, it's not a fan-made photoshopped render, it's from the set.

What’s going on this month with these releases

I heard of this mod first through the Quakecast, which you might find interesting. If I understand correctly this mod was churned out incredibly fast, almost at “Jam” speed

From that list, I'm curious about The Pathless, Cyberpunk, The Falconeer, Dirt 5, XII and I might play Cold War's campaign too. It'll take me a while to get around to play all these tho.

We have the same interest then with the only difference of Dirt… I’m not big into driving games, I’d give priority to the Forza Horizon series if I was to get one.

With COD I’m way behind but I also plan to catch up with campaigns.

I think of that bunch, XIII is the most likely to jump ahead of the queue… Cyberpunk is right there as well but is gonna be a commitment, also I’d rather play it on the PC and I’m not sure how well it would run on mine.

Some Mapcoreans featured in this video analysis [that talks little about the maps and more about the game mode]

Sounds like Gabe is pushing to relocate Valve to New Zealand, or at least part of it. By the sound of it, seems like a long-term but temporary solution because of COVID, as “work from home is causing depressed productivity”.

Also, in entirely Valve fashion, they might just make a new VR headset “because Index can’t keep up with demand” ?

Gosh, personally I’d jump on the occasion before Gabe could finish the sentence, I’ve always wanted to see NZ and considered moving there as well, but could never find a job I could apply for from outside, and I felt it was too far of country to go and do what I’ve done moving to the UK, starting anew and from the literal bottom.

They need to change how they display games that you have bought, not just showing installed games in a linear list with all bought games hidden away in a thing somewhere. Games library > social apps etc

Yeah, it’s not hard, so it’sa conscious choice… which I can’t make sense of.

Just like they are removing the wish list from the PS Store! I mean why? ?

(they also doing selling PS3 titles, guess to prevent back compatibility PR problems)

Monetising the hints ? It’s hard to get a proper feeling, not sure how much is contextual to the activity you are on, but it seems to me there are just too many cards, which would cause so much flicking… I’d like to see some sort of categorisation.

Must have been fun designing these vehicles ??

PS: I did say they had to do some sort of collab with Keanu’s workshop

My hot take would be that B looks way too small and confined... but there's no real way to judge scale from a sketch. It seems like it could become a killrom, in particular if like @spa says the T can get there unchallenged.

Keep it up, make a blockout, you still have couple weeks to the end of #blocktober and get it tested to see what works!

Is that all stuff on your list @[HP]?

There's a few on there that I would like to play but as usual, back catalog rules... if there's anything I'd prioritise would be XIII cos I loved the original.

I started Uncharted 2 and gone back to try smashing the remaining challenges in Spider-Man. Also bought Need For Speed as was £3 on the PS Store, thought fuck it. Just have something brainless from time to time.

I know the sales are cheap, but damn!

Is not so much what you buy in one sale, but the accumulation you get overtime because real life is a bitch and you don't get to play the games when you intended or they don't turn out to make the impression you were expecting, so then you leave them half way or even earlier... maybe hold off to play other stuff cos you want to give that title a chance, and so on.

In my case I bought a shitload of games on sale between 2008 and 2014: I had just bought a MacBook and my PC failed shortly after, so I didn't have the money to buy a gaming PC for all that time (I had an X360 and made it do with that) and I kept buying Humble Bundles or during Steam sale cos "it's only a fiver" (or less).

I ended up buying Hitman Absolution both for Xbox and Steam without realising. I don't even know if I have other duplicates, between all these different stores, that all have different wish lists, I can see how easy it would be to accidentally buy a game twice.

Hey feeling like playing a driving game recently, tempted to buy a couple of the recent NFS games that are discounted these days. Wondering if anyone has played any of these and if they would recommend.

I think last I tried was a demo of Shift and found that the cars handled like bricks, so decided to RIP the franchise for me. Never been much into driving games, but I had lots of fun with the first Underground (and the very first NFS back in the days)

That map of the Tears is part of the new release. On Twitter he was saying there are a few bugs reported and to be fixed, so I’m waiting a bit to install it.

They also suggested not to overwrite the previous version of the mod but do a fresh install for dove technical reason they have gone into.

BTW was Bafu on the Core?
