Thanks a lot. I do have the two Abe games, but I've never gotten round to beat them. Exoddus is amazing though.
I'll make sure I take deep breaths before the last level, too.
You can split payments.
This is not a precise answer but it might be on the Steam new release list if it's a recent release.

Has anyone else noticed input lag when using a third party wired controller with the PS3? I've tried at least 3 different third party wired controllers, all from different manufacturers, and they all had a slight input delay compared to the Dualshock. Not much, but enough to be bothersome in timing based games like baseball.
I wanted to get one with a good d-pad that doesn't have a gap in the middle like the dualshocks have. Does anyone know of any controllers like this without input lag?

Someone else should chime in as well but to my knowledge, XB1 DLC is region-free, PS4/3 DLC is region-locked
There's this indie game someone's making but I can't remember the name of it. It's a horror adventure game with fixed camera angles (like old school resident evil) but the graphics are real time. You play as multiple characters and based on choices you make they can die permanently. The only footage I've seen takes place in some kind of darn mansion environment.
Yeah that's it.
I would assume so. :/
Is it possible for the WiiU to run a n64 emulator that up-res games like dolphin does with wii games?
I mean, would it be possible, if the wiiu had a honebrew channel and homebrew emulators and stuff?
(Im asking because ive played the last Wii n64 emulator and was impressed by the fact that games are actually playable now)

In September I'm going to be visiting my parents at the same time my sister is doing so, and she'll be bringing her children; my nieces. I've been pondering what gaming things they might like, and one thing struck me that I'd not considered in years: DDR.
I still have Jungle Book Groove and Dancing Stage: Disney Mix knocking around, which is certainly content suitable for them, but what I don't have... is a mat.
The problem's twofold: One, I'm not sure what size of mat would suit them (they are, IIRC, 8 and 5), but I suspect a full-size adult mat would be a little too big to reach the stomping spots. The other issue is one of connectivity; most likely I'd be using the PS1 titles on the PS3 that's at my parents, and I'm not sure what dance mats are on the market that would happily connect to one but still work okay with the PS1 games.
Anyone got any knowledge on the subject they could share?

This question is in regards to the newly released HELLDIVERS: Super Earth Collection.

Would I be able to give the PS3 digital version that the game comes with to my friend while I keep the PS4 and Vita version, or would they all be tied to my account or something?

How do older games run on modern pc/laptops? I don't game at all on computers, but I want to play the original typing of the dead. I just don't want to buy it and realize it won't run. My laptop has windows 8.

Most older games run fine, but some won't run at all (particularly 16-bit games). In general I recommend you to buy older games from GOG since they are preconfigured to run on modern computers. You might still run into occassional issues, but overall they are way more reliable than e.g. Steam. Unfortunately, they do not sell Typing of the Dead.

Some of the ones that aren't on GOG require fan patches/DLLs to work properly.

So with the Xbox One streaming to Windows 10, does the data transfer use up my ISP data allowance, or is it just a normal service without my ISP being involved? The feature is fantastic but I can't see me using it much if I'm using up my limited data tarrif from my ISP.
It's using your home network. The bare essentials being a router that both devices are connected to.
The Scrivener

Thanks for your answer. But I'm a doofus when it comes to routers. I guess what I could do is just unplug the broadband wire from the router and see if it still streams.

It doesn't use your bandwidth. It's not touching the internet to send it back to your other computer.

If your ISP is Rogers in Canada they do (or at least have) count[ed] LAN bandwidth towards your quota which is fucking insane in which case unplugging the DSL cable wouldn't help as it was the router itself logging the data.
I imagine most other ISPs are sane though.
That is absolute madness. WTF.
This really is a stupid question.
Is there any reason why not, with some really deep level hacking/modifying, that the Xbox One & PC can be turned into fully operable PCs in the future? Completely overwrite the current OS, and just have an inexpensive machine running Linux/Windows 10 with HDMI out and a bluray drive for movies?

Not got a technical response to this (my guess is, it's probably potentially possible, in years to come) but I will answer your question with a question.
Why bother?
It seems from the things that i've read that you could buy an equally (if not more) powerful PC for the same price or less, so using a console in that way is more of a "because I can" situation. It's nice for enthusiasts, but it fails to be effective in basically any other way as far as I can see.

Asked in shaggs Metal Gear Solid V Cover Thread but asking here as well:
If I wanted to print my own covers (mainly because I threw the Bloodborne case across the room in anger at Father G and ripped the cover) what's the best type of paper to print on? Bearing in mind I'm in the UK in case its name differs.
If anyone can link me some that'd be great.

I'm not great with PC's either but look at homegroup in control panel and make sure your X1 is in the sharing settings there maybe.
Wouldn't be that much money difference in it either way. It would be a pretty cool little toy.
None at all. There was a promotion for Wii U premium buyers (something like digital game purchases and getting a percentage of the money back or), but that ended last year. The only differences now are the HDD capacity (and you want to be using an external harddrive if buying digital games anyway) and the colour.
Is it frowned upon here to ask someone with thread posting privileges to start a new thread? I'm brand new and would love to see a "What was your first FPS?" thread. I don't care about starting it, I just want it to exist.
If this isn't done here, I understand and won't ask again.

Not really. It's usually done if a junior member has found breaking or important news and cannot post. I can't see why someone could not create one with your subject.
If its like the PSP then it's just the region code I think
To anyone in NA who downloaded OoT on the Wii U VC; did they improve the framerate, even slightly? I've heard conflicting notions on this. Digital Trends says "The Wii U version of Ocarina of Time improves on the previously released Wii Virtual Console version of Ocarina of Time with sharper visuals, an improved framerate, and a reconfigurable control scheme". Now, the visuals I know are darker than ever before, and the reconfigurable control scheme is true of every N64 VC release, but that part on the improved framerate, is it true? Would make me buy the game on the spot. Thanks a lot in advance!

Here's a question:
Do used games count towards a game's sales figures when they're bought?

No. They only count towards the reseller's bottom line.
It's the same as if I sold my CPU. I would get the money and Intel would play no part in the transaction.
