Yeah, though it seems they're taking a few too many pages out of Dishonored's playbook... I want another Thief, not Dishonored: Thief.

That's the reason there's been no Blu-Ray release of the series. Someone somewhere at some point erased the files with all the CG models. The live footage was recorded on film so it can be converted to Blu-Ray quality no problem (they even filmed it in widescreen for future proofing). But the CG stuff was only recorded at DVD spec as they thought they could re-render it later on in higher def when technology advances made it cheaper. Now they'd have to redo everything from scratch and the studios don't want to bankroll that.
And yes it blows.
All in favor of publicly flogging the incredible ASSWIPE who's responsible for this say "aye."
AYE.

It is because there is a perpetual influx of young people who want to make games because they think it will be a fun job. The megapublishers can hire them and pay them peanuts.
The industry in general has an immense disrespect for the people who make the games and a disrespect for talent. It is a major reason why you have so many mediocre games. People with experience all quit because you can't have a family (or life) while working in the industry.
Yeah, and that's just really, really fucked up. There should be a class in college when you're going for your game design or game programming degree, that's basically called "This Industry Fucking Sucks."
Seeing EA and its ilk continuously just shit all over young, naive people just because they can is pretty aggravating.

I've never really ever had that urge to "make games", like so many other gamers do (or claim they do.) If anything, I always figured that if I ever got the say over what kind of game to make, every programmer would quit in disgust over my absurd requirements and list of features that I had to have.
Even so, I could have had the largest hankering in the world to make games, and I'd never go work in the fucking gaming industry. I think the fry cooks at McDonalds get treated with more respect than the unfortunate souls who work in this industry. (a few companies like Valve and Egosoft excepted.)
Why they continue to let themselves be treated this way is baffling...

I'm glad that you're ok Blue. We don't know each other in real life but you have a large impact on my life and I'm sure the same is true for the rest of the people who visit daily. Your website is like no other and you've enriched our lives by giving us a home here at Bluesnews. Thanks man and while I'm at it, thanks to all the people who help make Bluesnews possible. And no, I haven't been drinking.
Nah, I feel the same way. Lots of cool people on here to talk to and occasionally argue with. And Blue's been doing it for all these years essentially for free, at least where we are concerned.
Thanks Blue.

I fail to understand how devs keep losing assets or source codes. It'd take what... 2.5GB to save all the art assets for FF8? They can't afford the buck forty it would take to store that and back it up on a yearly basis? 
Agreed on loving FF8, though. It remains my favorite from the Playstation 1 triumvirate. (7-9)

NPD's estimates are almost as relevant as Metacritics' review scores from websites.
For the PC they are worthless. However, for the consoles they are probably fairly accurate.

I'm sorry, what's the issue with the Steam Cloud? I seem to have missed a page here...
Sync issues can occur. I had that problem with FTL where a savegame would be available on one machine but not another even though it kept saves in the cloud.
Borderlands 2 does that to me sometime, but typically I just start the game back up from the PC I last played it from (remoting in), exit the game again so it resyncs, and then it's fine.
However, that seems to be the only game that ever gives me any Steam cloud issues.

The PC is DEAD, Windows 8 is a failure, console sales are crashing into the ground and the replacements wont show any form of profit for years...
meanwhile
Microsoft is trading at 5 year high.
wtf?
Their online services are drawing lots of interest and are making them good money, Azure keeps picking up speed, the enterprise is still going strong with Office and Exchange etc. They do have their hands in a lot of pies.

By "hi-res," does that mean they're redoing the prerendered backgrounds?
Based on those screenshots, no they are not. This will be another "one of those" hi-res versions.
Which is a shame, because if they genuinely did good, updated ports of the late FFs, I'd gladly buy them. This definitely looks sharper than the original Playstation game, but the backgrounds just seem like they've got a sharpen filter applied or something. They don't appear new.

I didn't actually write that, but I do pretty much agree with the sentiment. Unless Wade truly collapses and can't play at all anymore, no team is beating the Heat 4 out of 7.
