I'm guessing now that EDF 4.1 is out on PS4, it'll be popping up on Steam sometime within the next couple of months? That's what happened with Dragon Quest, right? I'm honestly really itching to play it. Hopefully it does happen, and it happens soon.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Anybody check if Red Dead Redemption is on there?

Spoiler

Why do I torture myself like this.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

HL2 was mediocre even way back in 2004.

Now this is not even funny.

 

[GasProblem]

Can't wait for Danganronpa. Never played them and wanted to play 3 on the PS4. Now I can play 1 and 2 as well. Was expecting 1 and 2 to come to PS4 but this is fine as well.

Same here,I haven't played one yet.But I've heard great things,so looking forward to giving them a go

It's not, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

 

[Arjac]

HL3...yes.
This means the eventual PS4 version. The Witcher 3 sales showed consoles cant be ignored.

there was a window for this game to be a possibility, that window has long passed

aside from the fact that it would require drawing massive resources away from things that are essentially free money right now... frankly part of me feels like Valve, as it exists today, would not be able to pull off L4D3 or Portal 3, much less Half Life 3
even if they had a good reason to try

 

[Robot Pants]

Love how Half Life 3 is just thrown in there haha

Eugh FFXHD just get announced and on Steam already.

I want to buy you (if you are a decent port). Again.

Rockstar uses codenames on steam pre-release - iirc , GTA 5 was Shetland Pony (the rest was before steamdb even existed)

this might take a while - with DQH, FF6 and LR-FF13 releasing one week after each other

 

[mrklaw]

Any info on dates for danganronpa 1/2? Have both on vita but would love to play on my laptop instead (still back logged on vita so not played)

 

[JaseC]

Yeah. I was hoping the original store sub would be used for pre-orders and remain unchanged so I could say I bought a pony.

Oh I can wait...a bit I just want confirmation + a store page.

Danganronpa would be cool but I just bought Clannad so I'm not really in a hurry for a visual novel type experience, and I've played the first one on Vita.

 

[Stiler]

looking forward to Everybody's gone to the Rapture, not much interest in most of the jrpgs.

 

[wazoo]

LOL how many re-releases of FFX/X-2 that will make? 5? God damn you crazy Square.

This is the first one not tied to a dying platform.

 

[kagamin]

Not surprising, because out of the 17 games in the OP, 5 could be considered JRPGs really, MAYBE 6.

 

[Hellix]

LOL how many re-releases of FFX/X-2 that will make? 5? God damn you crazy Square.

And sadly, I'll try to 100% it again.

 

[prudislav]

not sure about this one ... the game was originally supposed to release on PC , before Sony snatched it and they cancelled the PC version.
So this entry might be the abandoned one prior to the Sony's involvement in the project

 

[OmnipotentO]

I'll buy danganronpa. All i know is gaf loves the shit out of them. No clue what they're about. Don't even know what genre games they are. Puzzle? Action? Racing? Fighting? Rpg? Dating sim? Lol. No clue. Going in 100% completely blind and I'm looking forward to that.

[ZoddGutts]

Will give X-2 a shot. The PS2 emulator on PC had audio problems with that game so I never really got far in it.

 

[Koobion]

Vita will never die. Vita means life, damnit. Really, that's a bit of a grim statement, and not constructive in the least. People still play old consoles. No need to be so negative.

Very excited to see all these great JRPGs coming to PC. It's a genre that I've always gone to consoles to get my fix of.

 

[ashecitism]

HL3 needs to be edited out the OP or put Laidlaw's response in there.

 

[wazoo]

Console are by definition short term (5 years approx) lived platforms. This is nothing against Vita itself. The fact that some people play old consoles do not mean those platforms are supported anymore.

The new remake is a bit more than just upscaled emulation.

 

[Chance Hale]

Everyone's Gone to the Rapture should look grand, stopped playing the PS4 version because it runs at like 20 FPS most of the time. Gross.

Cryengine is too good for this world ;-;

 

[Gothos]

Shame we have to wait for FFX at least couple of months. Would love to jump into it during Christmas

You are not he first person to attempt this line of reasoning with a straight face. But it still remains utterly ridiculous. I mean, at least think about it a little bit.

But do people still produce those consoles? Do they still press games for them? Do they still get support security updates? Do they still allow you to purchase games through their digital storefront? And if so, will they do it still in 10 years? 30?

Consoles are the very definition of dying platforms as the moment they are released they're already destined to be replaced by something new later down the line. That's the big downside of generational concepts. All consoles become obsolet at some point and with that all games on them go into the trash unless they're temporarily saved with BC, a remaster or permanently through a PCport/Emulation.

I just don't think it's fair to say that they're dying platforms, in your context. People can still play FFX on every machine it was released on. So what was the point of that comment? You pointed out that the PC release is the only version that won't be on a "dying" platform. That just sounds like a cheap attack at consoles, for no reason.

All very true. I'm in total agreement with that fact. I was merely questioning why he was stating that; it just came off as a master racey statement

Maybe that means X/X-2 the week after that?

Gears of war isnt on there. So highly likely what everyone thought the xbox store only.

This is not a master race comment. I just spent last night on Xenoblade X on my WiiU.

My comment is a "preservation" comment, which is something I am very much attached. Every time a game is exclusive to a console platform, its long term sustainability is in danger. On PC, you can play games for 30 years and except a few exceptions, everything is still playable because the hardware platforms are still supported.

If all ps3 console dye today, a few games will be lost forever (like Red Dead) unless emulation or remaster.

MS stupidity is endless.

By that logic, and considering the general impermanence of all things, PCs are a dying gaming platform too. There will come a time when PC games are no longer made or supported, even if it's during the heat-death of the universe.

 

[Kezen]

That was obvious right from the start. With zero marketing and a store exclusivity I don't see it doing well at all.

 

[GhostTrick]

Oh come on. That makes no sense seriously. You're talking about a potential scenario against a scenario which repeats every generation.

 

[wazoo]

So, right. Maybe, we can restrain the list of platforms to those that will still be alive up to the end of our lifetime.

Sure, if Putin punches a wall so hard that it rips a timehole into the known universe, creating a blackhole that eats up existence itself creating only nothingness and void, pc games die too.

But we are talking normal circumstances here, lol.

 

[Heartfyre]

I'm of course joking a bit. Regardless, just because a platform is not supported doesn't mean the games go away. And just because something exists on PC doesn't mean it's playable forever. For example, before GOG rereleased Toonstruck, there was no way of getting it to play on XP or higher reliably. There were some workarounds, but seemingly no one cared enough about the game to publicly release a fan patch. I remember one other game I tried to play wouldn't install because I didn't have 8MB of virtual memory, despite having GBs of the actual stuff. PCs have a generational cycle too, through operating systems, and not everything that worked on the old systems transfers smoothly to the new setups. Windows 3.1 gaming is dead, and Windows 10 gaming will die too.

yeah i know its on GoG , but it coming to steam was mentioned in this steamleak (which you can check in history on steamdb) ;-)

Yeah, but i waited for Steam release, it got achievements, cards etc.

 

[wazoo]

I For example, before GOG rereleased Toonstruck, there was no way of getting it to play on XP or higher reliably. There were some workarounds, but seemingly no one cared enough about the game to publicly release a fan patch.

That is not true. The only thing they did is drop the files of the game in a directory and run dosbox. You can make it run in 5 minutes. This is how I am running it. Gog has some merits for a few W95 games, but as far as we speak about dos games, they are just running the games in dosbox (launch dosbox and install the game like you would on a old PC without even the configurations and IRQ headhaches).

I remember one other game I tried to play wouldn't install because I didn't have 8MB of virtual memory, despite having GBs of the actual stuff.

Looking at your comments, it is clear, you did not check - which is fine - how software preservation works on PC. It does not mean you can run any old game by just putting the disk in the drive, it means that there is a solution available, with more or less problems (zero effort in Toonstruck case).


Compared to your Toonstruck comments, there is no way I can make any old console game run on new generation consoles because of their closed form ecosystem.

The original 'dying systems' remark was obviously kinda snarky, but there's still worlds of difference between PC and consoles in that regard.

There's almost nothing you can't get to work on PC with some effort. On consoles the cutoff part for support and accessiblity of games is way harsher.
