From what I read, gaming. Fair few people struggling with running games in fullscreen.

 

[Hektor]

Everybody that isn't getting the bundle for Hand of Fate will hopefully be banned

 

[pantsattack]

But....

....where's the Assassin's Creed games? I don't see them.

Ya, I keep thinking it's prime time for current gen Ass Creed's to show up in a bundle or headline a monthly, but with Origins coming out it wouldn't happen. Same deal with The are Cry's.

For mainstream games I think Hitman is a hit headliner for a monthly.

Dishonored DotO, Prey, Witcher 3 and Cuphead all run fine for me in Fullscreen.

Skill cards in your pay to win lootboxes. That is why.

Seriously. Such incredible games those 2. RIP.

If Bioware doesn't deliver on Anthem they are probably next

WWE 2k's PC port is BAD

Graphics are awful at max, entrances and menus locked at 30 lol, getting fps drops randomly and they're from 60ish to 30ish

Ew

Nope, only on a Star Wars game that's been moved to another studio.

Official Statement

Our Visceral studio has been developing an action-adventure title set in the Star Wars universe. In its current form, it was shaping up to be a story-based, linear adventure game. Throughout the development process, we have been testing the game concept with players, listening to the feedback about what and how they want to play, and closely tracking fundamental shifts in the marketplace. It has become clear that to deliver an experience that players will want to come back to and enjoy for a long time to come, we needed to pivot the design.

So basically they want it to become a GaaS.

100 clone troopers drop down into Naboo...

Why Witcher 3 is 20 bucks on US PS Store and US Steam store and 28 bucks on CA store? Just why?

 

[The Dear Leader]

I did the same despite playing it all with a controller lol.
That was the point where the game shifted with all those upgrades I got from it.

Same for me lol, I tried the first set with a controller and quickly used the mouse after that.

 

[pantsattack]

I hope everyone lands on their feet.

But how since they were cut off at the knees?

 

[thenexus6]

Won Kathy Rain on reddit, heard its pretty good and has some Twin Peaksy stuff so looking forward to that.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Nope, only on a Star Wars game that's been moved to another studio.

That's a shame, not that it would have mattered now.
DS3 was a let-down after the previous games, but I gladly take another entry if they ditched the forced co-op.

 

[arts&crafts]

Because Canada sucks for videogame (buying)

 

[dex3108]

F EA and F Disney for giving them exclusive rights for Star Wars Games. i was waiting for years to play proper SP Star Wars game. And it looks like i will never play it.

 

[Knurek]

Dishonored DotO, Prey, Witcher 3 and Cuphead all run fine for me in Fullscreen.

Not sure about Witcher 3, but I don't think the other games can use Exclusive Fulscreen.
Maybe that's what's broken?

You still have KOTOR, it holds up pretty well too.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Disney Infinity 3.0's Star Wars playsets are pretty fun.

 

[Creamium]

Sure, it's your decision, I just wanted to make you aware of it since it's a puzzle game (so no replay value) and should be really well suited for VR. I personally wish I hadn't played the flat version.

Anyway, it's a great game!

Yep, beat a couple stages and this is fantastic.

 

[Plesiades]

I wonder what this means for Respawn's game.

 

[yuraya]

After the mild success of RE7 I actually thought EA and Visceral would reboot Dead Space in the same vein. Like an FPS VR action horror game. It kind of made sense for that franchise but now there is no chance of that happening. They just shut down the entire team damn. EA is so cutthroat and ruthless.

It could potentially also just have been really bad. We will never hear the real reason from an official source.

Stil crazy this game is getting canned. So the only other Star Wars game in development is the one from Respawn and that one is probably in an even earlier state.

 

[Vibranium]

Just read the news. EA should just sell Dead Space. A few publishers would probably pony up some cash for the IP.

They will sit on it of course.

Considering the big IP vault EA is sitting on, doing absolutely nothing with it is the safest bet.

Yep.

2024 will be a good year if Disney doesn't sign another exclusive deal with EA for Star Wars.

Do sites anywhere sell South Park steam keys? It's only uplay keys right?

For one thing, publishers never sell IPs. Ever. Even if they aren't planning on creating games indefinitely.

A publisher that would be interested in that would be better served investing in a completely new IP, rather than sacrificing a decent chunk for their margins to an upfront payment to EA.
Having an existing property somewhat reduces their risk, but they can make up that ground with a huge marketing campaign.

That compact tool really is cool. Some games really profit a ton.
Cosmic Star Heroine: 5GB -> 2GB
God Eater 2: 14 GB -> 5 GB
Overgrowth: 16 GB -> 7GB
Pillars of Eternity: 14GB -> 8GB

It has to have a catch. I don't get it.

and any slowdown while playing the games ?

 

[sadblob]

It has to have a catch. I don't get it.

From reading the readme and looking up some info on compact.exe, it simply looks like the CPU load of decompressing stuff at runtime is negligible with moderns CPUs.

I tried it on some programs and don't see any difference in load times.
