I have a few screenshots when messing around with then the new widescreen feature on a PS1 emulator.



A little touchup with the UI, fixed the warping textures. Leave the pixelated polygons look alone.

Never gonna happen is it?

Huh. I didn't Vagrant Story had a VATS-like system.

I hate nintendo with a passion sometimes.

Being concerned about having a severed head on a magazine for kids seems like a silly reason to hate something with a passion.

Thanks to Nabs I managed to set up Dark Souls with DSFix up properly.
While I was at it, I added several mods to the game. Mainly texture mods. Sen's Fortress is still a blast.

Gonna make a webm shortly showing the improved textures, tress etc.

 

[Sarcasm]

So I am assuming that since nuuvem is in the title that it can't be used like before for cheap(er) games?

 

[Dsyndrome]

So IE's going away and being replaced by Edge.

Good to see they're finally allowing extensions, will only take 4 years for implementation on government systems.

You can still get cheap games that haven't been region-locked, like Arkham Knight for $27.

so they question now is when will W3 preload start if at all

Hahaha. I love this shot. Minimal aliasing due to higher rendering resolution but still lumbered with PSX era textures.

 

[dex3108]

Probably few days before release. If we are lucky that will be 7 days before release.

We are still working with GOG, Steam, Sony, etc on pre-loads and do not have an exact date yet. I think Sid's estimate of 1 week is safe, but it isn't a sure thing yet.

When we know, we'll let everyone know.

VPN + PayPal still works for games that aren't GTAV. The only global change is that all items are now purchase-restricted, so you need to use a VPN when browsing (or after you've opened in tabs all the games you want), not just when finalising your purchase.

Ah okay.

Than maybe we shouldn't use nuuvem in title XO

What are the odd on GOG having an Exclusive on Witcher III preload? Seems to be their bag these days.

No way they sold that exclusivity to MS so X1 pre-load is all ready up.

Come on SEGA. You liked that VC money, I got some more for you.

Let's get Grief.exe on this case.

I'm thinking Silent Hill would be a good target for the next campaign. Previously existing PC versions, should be cheap, unless there are licencing issues.

As far as Sega is concerned, they have so many options for PC/current-gen ports that would likely have higher ROI than RoF. Bayonetta, Vanquish, JSRF, Skies of Arcadia, etc.

Pre-loads are now an exclusivity thing? Wow.

Now THATs an OP.

Quickly comparing Steam threads created in the month of April and the other thread has way more posts.

The people have spoken.

Bayonetta would kill on Steam, sales-wise, but I don't know if it's possible to get out of the Nintendo deal.

I would try JSRF since most people seem to think it controls better than that ghastly Jet Set Radio.

Yeap. For example new Wolfenstein is already up for pre-load on X1 but it will be available for PS4 and PC next week.

Its not only that, its how they gimp a lot of their games BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN. just look at splatoon, no chatting option whatsoever, even if you make a private lobby with friends only

There is no public GOG client that is able to pre-load. They only offer installers. The closed Galaxy alpha allowed me to download and play Ys VI a few days early. But I don't think GoG has ever done a pre-load.

I think that speaks more about the length of Microsoft's certification process. At some point the updated build Bethesda submits isn't going to be approved and uploaded for public consumption before release, so it makes sense to kick off the pre-load period when it's determined that point has been reached. Obviously there are no certification processes on Steam, though -- on the PC it's more about avoiding the need for those who've pre-loaded to download updated data.

 

[fantomena]

Oh shit, got an GOG Galaxy invite.

 

[Vazra]

Technically Bayonetta 1 can be done if they port the 360 version. Bayo 2 is a no but I think some people would be happy with just Bayonetta 1 on PC.

This is not first time. Many games got pre-load on X1 first and most if not all of those were MS sponsored games. It is obviously part of their deal. X1 gets pre-load first.

If there are examples of games that aren't/weren't being heavily marketed in favour of the X1 having longer pre-load periods on the X1 versus other platforms, doesn't that render your hypothesis invalid? I mean, the alternative is that in some cases Microsoft is throwing money away specifically for longer pre-loads, which would be a terrific waste.

Yeah, that's true. I've shared similar frustrations over the years (see: friend codes). That said, even though that guiding principle of "because of the children" can force some restrictions in the features of their games, I think that overall it lends itself to other more positive and unique creative decisions. E.g., I'm glad they never really took The Legend of Zelda in some "edgy" and "mature" direction. It's refreshing.

Well the fact remains, it wasn't working whenever you wanted it to work, it could have been working when you weren't trying, who knows. Happy now?
