Ships Ahoy - PC Deadlight

[Oct 25, 2012, 8:12 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Steam now offers Deadlight, offering Windows gamers the chance to play this action/adventure that was first released on XBLA. For the first week the game is available at a 15% discount, as is the special edition that includes a separate copy of the game's soundtrack. On a related note, today also marks the release of Escape Deadlight, a fan-created, live-action film based on the game. Here's a description:

The world has ended. There is no hope. No new beginning. Only the survivors. DEADLIGHT follows the journey of Randall Wayne, a man searching for his family across Seattle during the aftermath of a 1980s event that has decimated life on earth. This visually stunning Cinematic Survival Platformer will challenge you to run, jump, climb, and struggle for your life as you look for answers and the ones you love.

Edit: No matter, I just read ASeven's comment. No matter how nice a game is, when it's that short.. I'm not paying.
Those kinda games I pick up when they hit a $2.50 sale

Without any re-playability factor to speak of, I too will wait for a super low price.

Flashback? Wasn't that more jungles and futuristic looking?

Yeah it was. Well, jungles was mostly the beginning and much else was underground. But I was very young back then, so my memory is vague. But I dunno.. the way I saw that Deadlight guy moving about and sliding off higher edges gave me a flashback to Flashback for some reason. *sigh* Nostalgia.

Anyway this game worth the 10 euros?

Watched some videos. Somehow makes me think of Another World, but mostly Flashback!

Man. Those were the days.

The game is quite short but it's very sweet to play. At the price I would recommend though it's about 4 hours long. Also, this thread tells how to remove the 30fps cap.

Most likely because consolers want another CoD FPS? killer_roach wrote on Oct 25, 2012, 22:17: seriously, there's been more downloadable titles console-exclusive to the PS3 that have appeared on the PC than there were from the 360 Well, thats from MS rededicating themselves to the PC

If the latter is true, then it makes sense that the games are appearing on PC so quickly. I'm pretty sure that it's the latter. (Klei, the developers of Mark of the Ninja, have previously had games published through EA Partners)

Interesting...the second game, after Mark of the Ninja, from MS studios that doesn't mention GFMFWL. Times they are a changin?

doesn't this use xbox live for windows or something like that, I know they dropped the windows live thing now that windows 8 has xbox live integrated into it.

I thought those were the same thing, but I've stayed away from games that use it. On the steam boards, there's a thread about the leaderboards trying to connect to XBL but it's worded as "Leaderboards always fail because it wants to connect to XBL" which makes me think they didn't alter the code from the XB version...

It's either that, or the steam product pages aren't accurate, and this certainly wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

Hell, I was just going to say "Microsoft-published XBLA games are finally coming to PC?"... seriously, there's been more downloadable titles console-exclusive to the PS3 that have appeared on the PC than there were from the 360, and that's not exactly a vote of confidence (as there aren't many PSN exclusives that aren't from first- or second-party devs).

I watched the gameplay videos online as well. Seemed pretty as well. The Fan Film was also pretty... http://youtu.be/5cDT0R-jGek Pretty - the word of the day for me apparently...
