Pardon my ignorance but the does any version of arkham city will be getting this patch or just the GOTY edition?
We don't know yet. Common sense and basic decency would make you think, of course. But then you look at the registry and literally none of these changes are going into the non-goty version.Pardon my ignorance but the does any version of arkham city will be getting this patch or just the GOTY edition?
I think they'd just rather sell you another Steam entry that reads Batman (R): Arkham City (tm): Game of the Year Edition and charge you 5 dollars for the pleasure.They better let me upgrade.

More than likely. Wouldn't be such a bitter pill to swallow except for seeing 2 entries for the same game on my Steam profile (one being broken) and the fact that save files aren't compatible between versions.
-_____________________-It looks like just the GOTY edition will roll out first.
I don't know if they will then go back and update the regular versions of both AC and AA, but whatever studio is working on the update hasn't updated either of those apps at all.
They may leave them behind, but updates to those versions should be trivial after the GOTY version is finished, and DLC could be put up for individual sale again so they would be motivated for that reason.
They better let me upgrade.
When you upgrade, it will remove the regular edition of Arkham City or Arkham Asylum from your library and replace the entry with the GOTY edition.

well I'm glad i got so excited for nothing.. got the regular edition with the skin and Harley dlc ...:/ will not rebuy....
Same. I have the vanilla version of AC :/
I played through Minerva's Den. Now I'm ready to lose access to it forever, Bioshock games are good but not good enough to warrant replaying them.
Dark Souls registry entry added a beta depot late last night. It is called '8.21.13 Update' and it is locked behind a password.
Dark Souls has literally had one update since it was released, and the update occurred not long after the release date.
Dark Souls could be getting a GFWL removal patch as well, too early to tell right now
Regarding Bioshock 2, I have a gift copy that I've been sitting on in anticipation of the removal of GFWL. Should I redeem it now or can I wait for the update? I assume that the gift will still be valid.
My copy of Bioshock 2 had an update on Monday I think, could that be connected to the GFWL removal and controller support?

It would be so fucking great if GFWL got replaced with Steamworks in that game specifically. I think it has the most to gain from the change.
Multiplayer matchmaking
Steamworks' multiplayer back-end is powered by robust matchmaking and lobby technology. The same technology that drives the quick and accurate match-ups in Left 4 Dead can be used in your game. Works with both peer-to-peer and server-based games. Steamworks' built-in voice functionality enables players to work quickly to strategize their next mission.
Here's hoping that Capcom would go back to RE5 and do this as well. And while they are at it, port the DLC to PC.
I bought the Gold Edition on PS3, and then got it free from PS+.Here's hoping that Capcom would go back to RE5 and do this as well. And while they are at it, port the DLC to PC.
I would personally prefer a RE4 HD edition PC port.
This. Never had a chance to play it.
Someone on my steam feed is claiming Fallout 3 now runs without GFWL and the DLC still works.
Can someone confirm this?
GFWL isn't obligatory since like... forever (or at least since we got the GOTY edition).

Mod or use FOSE. Disabling live does not impact the dlcI thought you had to mod it to disable GFWL before?
You realize you can just download RE4 PC and use a bunch of mods that give you everything RE4 HD edition(which is not much considering it was just a simple upres port) and more along with KB+M right? No need for a RE4 HD pc port when the community already made a better HD version than capcom already can.
Only cons are the cutscenes.

If you really want a concrete answer you might wanna go raise a ruckus over on the unity forums under the "Ask Capcom" section.
And lighting, and also models (unless there is a mod to replace them with the GameCube ones) ?

You can play the Wii version in Dolphin with texture mods.
I can't find the post, but they said not to long ago RE5 DLC for PC was never greenlighted for development or budgeted (obviously), which implies it wasn't worth the cost to port. They pretty much put the idea to bed. There's probably even less money to be made now, even if they do strip out GFWL.
Actually I believe the real reason was, according to sven, that the team had already disbanded and Capcom didn't want to waste the time pulling people from several different currently on-going projects in order to reassemble the team and "port" (I use the marks because with MT framework it isn't really porting to PC as much as it is optimizing, because with MT framework everything is dev'd on PC first anyways) the content. Sven said he threw quite a big fit about it, and made it clear to the head honchos over in Japan that it was unacceptable, and damaged their reputation with PC gamers. And while I know gaf likes to shit on the man for perceived lies, I tend to think this is true because ever since then I think every piece of DLC for any capcom game that has a PCv eventually made its way to PC.

Sven said:That content was never been greenlit for PC thus no budget exists to do that work (RE5 was developed internally and that team isn't available either). And there's no forecast at this point that could give a positive P&L that would enable such a task to get greenlit.
Sorry, but it's not the same thing.
Found it (from Jan 2013):

It means they don't think it would turn a profit if they broke down and ported it today, which is probably true at this point.
