I guess it's been long enough to call it a remaster. At this point, they could just easily drop an HD texture pack and call it a day. Of course they wouldn't however when they can double dip and grab plenty more moola.

The important part is the reworking of the shooting, because none of the older GTAs controlled well compared with even contemporary 3rd person shooters.

This is the most recent version of the game, they're going to drop their first-party racing sim series without something to replace it? Forza Horizon is NOT a replacement. Maybe it doesn't bring in the money.

So, if you PURCHASE the game, you can keep playing it and can re-download it later as well. If you get it through gamepass, I assume that's not true when they get EOL'd.

They announced the sequel last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bfC-vvlbHc Dropped the number though.

So did any Blind people actually complain to Twitch or was it a bunch of white people trying to feel like they're doing something? This is useless corporate signaling on the level of the Aunt Jemima change. Costs them nothing, benefits no one. If Twitch really cared they'd implement accessibility functions into their site, but that'd require real work.

I enjoyed it, definitely didn't love it. I feel like it reached for some lofty scifi philosophical questions and then fumbled the landing. $13 is pretty worth it though.

Gee, why do I feel skeptical about a game developed in a few months at most? And look, it's another Eastern European studio whose other games are fake-ass "simulators" with fake gameplay trailers.

After giving away my phone number for 2FA on Twitter, Google and some other big, "trustworthy" corporations, I suddenly get spam calls on that number.
So, I already learned my lesson.

The lesson apparently not being to install a 2FA app like Authy or Google Authenticator like a sensible person...

Fake game. There's been a certain trend of Eastern European made "games" in the past few years that are have 100% pre-rendered trailers designed to look like actual in-engine gameplay if you're not paying too close attention. Atomic Heart Mother was the first one I can remember, another egregious one was Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator. The dev's other "games" listed on Steam are all like this: Rollercoaster Mechanic, Wedding Designer. All prerendered non-gameplay, all destined to be never released.

There's a few smooth-brains in the thread, rolling their eyes at VR and wondering what the point is if VR is just going to be modded out. That always happens, and it's always ridiculous. It's a new medium for games and a new experience.

Should Nintendo not have made Super Mario 64? Obviously they just wanted to sell Nintendo 64s, the greedy bastards . They're keeping the game out of the hands of people that just want more 2D Mario games!

Now it's one thing to say the tech isn't developed enough for you or that it's too expensive, but to decry the idea of it? Gdamn moronic. No, people aren't dumber than you for buying into it, they're smarter because they understand the potential of it and have disposable income to spend. Assuming civilization exists in 20 years, VR is absolutely the future of gaming.

How many levels of meta does this count as?

So now because of EGS incompetence Now I have to wait like 20 minutes for the game to download? WTF?

GOD! I am so sick of Tim Sweeney ignorant bullshit! Sure I don't dont know how to make it work, but I am at least smart enough to know that it's fucking easy.

Do you think that everyone has gigabit internet to be able to download it incredibly quickly? Do believe for some reason that having all day 1 purchasers download it at the same time on launch day is not going to result in slower deployment compared to spacing out preloads over a week or two?

Wait, are they still doing the one action skill per character/class thing? In the era of hero shooters and RPG shooters, that seems so dated. Hell, it felt dated even in Borderlands 1 considering it was supposed to be bridging Diablo and shooters.

"Some American Airlines In-Flight TVs Have Cameras In Them."

Well, I'm pretty sure they're just off-the-shelf Android tablets, so of course they do.

Steam sucked ass when they were the pioneers, plus they started out with way less resources than Epic has now. That's not good enough anymore, yet all these publisher started storefronts- Uplay, Origin, etc. still start out terrible and only work up to barely passable.

If they don't come out the gate with all the features Steam already has plus some extra features to differentiate themselves, then it's clear they only intend to compete based on forced exclusives.

Apparently no one knows. Tencent had gotten the necessary permits, and then it was forced to be pulled without explanation from the government, which is freaking a bunch of publishers out. It's still on sale on Steam in China though.

I'm playing with completely custom key bindings. There aren't any locked keys, at least on keyboard. I have no idea what the other guy is talking about.

Really, of all the things you can complain about, you're gonna complain about the game mechanics? This is like the 16th Monster Hunter game.
#1, don't complain if you're going in super blind on something like this where you have plenty of opportunity to check out the gameplay style beforehand.

#2, having stamina for both active attack and defense is a very common gameplay mechanic, used to force the player to act strategically. It's present in the Elder Scrolls games and the Dark Souls games for example.

Legitimate complaints are the ones about how it could really run better for the level of graphics, and the multiplayer party finding is still very clunky.

"Built with Unity, incorporating Parallax Scrolling, Blade of Unagi is a technical marvel."

Lol, is this satire? I feel bad for the dude, but the demo video is incredibly amateurish both in how it's presented and the technical skills shown within.

The skins aren't for a 'family audience', people in general like interesting looking cosmetic skins. I checked out the game when it was in beta, and the only skins they had were basically palette swaps. That's insane for a F2P game; the revenue stream lives off of well done cosmetics.

Not that it matters really- the game is dead before it even launches. Interest is non-existent. I guess Quake just always has to compete with Unreal engine games- Lawbreakers was DOA and they just have to follow suit.

Google ditched autopilot driving feature after test user napped behind wheel

What a ridiculous article title by that writer. It reads like Google scaling back on autopilot, but what actually is is going from 95% to 100% autopilot because users can't handle the 5% emergency if they're napping and playing on their phones.

I mean, that's cool accomplishment for the dude and all, but this is obviously a student's first game project that in no way deserves to be sold for money.
