Metroid Souls, basically? I really like the look of it so far.

Oh Russia.

I'm going to assume this is the /cog/ general.
And if that's the case, have you passed the whiskey to thy neighbor today?

Gonna see if I can score a Windows Tablet Tomorrow for 99 bucks at the Grand Opening. Seems like it would make a nifty Mini Touchtop with the Keycase I've found.

>trying to play RE4 on PC
This game should only ever be played with a Wiimote. I'm sorry, but those are just the cold facts.

>>187348
How is the optimization though?

>>187352
Oh, great, it runs like a dream, this is just my first time playing anything but the Wii version, and so the controls feel like i'm doing everything with work gloves on.

Eh, the Wiimote makes the game too stupidly easy, there is no fun in that.

Anything is a downgrade from the Wiimote for RE4. The Gamecube controller works, but it's just not as good when you've played both. The PS2 version isn't even worth talking about. It's funny how a game not actually made for the Wii is perhaps the game most perfectly suited for the controls.

>>187356
Indeed.

Wait does the (current) PC version not have proper mouse-aim or something? How else would it be inferior to the wiimote?

Eh? The Wiimote is fantastic for shooters.
I'm honestly surprised we didn't get more.

So, who's ready for Duke Nukem Rule 63?

>>187372
Is it a top-down game? I'm still kinda bummed the new Duke Nukem was a (bad) modern FPS instead of an old school one.

>>187374
Two fucking guns, who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

People who forgot Duke Nukem was first and foremost a PC game and tried to aim it at inferior consoles.

Looks like it's time for a Haloid 2. A sexy, sexy Haloid 2...

Already confirmed to not be female.

>>187380
That only stops insecure people, hooray for femboi space marines!

>>187379
Sorry 'Moose, Monty is too busy with RWBY vol. 2
And I'm eagerly awaiting it.

>>187381
What are you talking about? All i said was that character isn't female like a lot of people think. Staff member said already on NG.

>>187382
Oh, he did both? Neat. I watched the "reveals" for RWBY (apparently after vol 1 started) but the moment Red opened her mouth I lost interest. I guess I should give some full episodes a shot, though.

>>187380
I was more talking about the design more than anything. The helmet. Shoulder things. The armor contours to the bodies natural form.

Aren't some of Prime's artists working on it. Because I wouldn't be surprised. More of a case of subconsciously going with what was instilled in you for a decade than just intentional soft mimicry.

>>187383
I'm just joking about the sexualization of characters.

>>187384
Imagine it as "What if Monty did a Tales of?".
You can take /co/ advice of "It's okay to like it, it's not okay to tell us it's good."
But it's good to consider their limited resources and personal (only 10 people).
Here's hoping for season 2 to be better.

Dr. Nurse, if you're around, you were right: Devil May Cry 2 is really super bad. I don't regret playing it, though; seeing as I paid $2 for it, I feel I got my money's worth (I don't know if I want to play Lucia's disc or not.)

http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2014/05/19/microsoft-just-short-changed-everyone-who-has-bought-an-xbox-one/

The Kinect is trash, but does ditching it really damage Microsoft's trustworthiness?

>>187420
I mean, sort of? They're ditching what they said was their main hook, and now people who bought an XBox One because they believed in that hook paid premium for an extra load of nothing. Microsoft keeps coming up with innovations and big concepts, then backing out at the slightest resistance. Even if those innovations and big concepts are terrible, that's something you can't keep doing and expect trust from those who get burned by buying into it.

This move was done because E3 is looming and Kinect has ALWAYS been a public embarrassment with the promise it will get better, with the Xbone, the public symbol that Kinect is the future of gaming out and they can't deny it's still a pile of shit.

This was done so that they aren't laughed out of the room, Microsoft has been a constant very public failure for months and it's trying to get back on course thanks to Satya Nadella, he's trying to unfuck a very fucked company, killing GFWL, undoing everything awful about Windows 8 while rushing to get 9 right and out by 2015, killing kinect which is what this is since it's always been a dead end.

Oh, plus he ended the "war on everything not Microsoft."

XBone

Kinda a bad as Nintendo, though Nintendo tends to just burn something to the ground like Spotpass

>>187420
>Firstly the Xbox One is currently available in 13 countries compared to the PlayStation 4’s 72

I am so sick of hearing this meaningless figure trotted out, as if the Xbone had launched in only thirteen regions 'just because'. As if Mocrosoft has simply decided entirely of it's own volition not to expand further, even though they have all these extra units in storage.

Reality is that the Xbox brand has only ever enjoyed success regionally. It did very well in a few territories (most notably the US) and poorly elsewhere. The Xbone has already launched everywhere it's likely to move a lot of units. Any gains from expanding into new territories would be marginal at best.

I suppose it would be impolite to point and laugh. God damn, never buying an EA game again was the right decision.

>>187426
What's the matter with spotpass?

>>187433
I mean them killing Swapnote over its usage in that.

>>187432
WELP
And I really wanted to try Titanfall.

Wolfenstein looks to have done really well with New World Order. Watching the OMFG LP of it, looks to be quite the emotionally packed ride. Can't wait for the Nazi Beatles to pop up.

So I'm working over the summer and going to get a new system. Should I get:
1. A WiiU
2. A PS4
or 3. that Alienware machine maybe (I guess wait to see what the specs are)

If I got a WiiU I could probably also swing getting a Vita.

Maybe a WiiU?
I mean, there's not much on it (aside Nintendo games, some usual AAA releases and shovelware) but at least it has more than the Xbone Juan and PS4. Plus, a new Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and Zelda are coming.

If you've got friends to play with WiiU, if not PS4 would be my choice, Xbone is also a perfectly viable choice with a few good exclusives though for most multiconsoles lacks the same power as the PS4 at a higher price point but I avoid it because it literally creeps me out.

>Killer is Dead PC port

Huh, when did that Happen?

Indeed hit a sale on this and Revengence, I may never stop swinging swords.

>>187465

It's a very good game, if a bit difficult in the beginning, but it's totally worth it. The combat demands using everything you have at your disposal, which catches some people off-guard who think they can just mash through it.

Yea gotta brew them buffs and take them before a combat

>>187467
I was more of a spellsword and never bothered with the drinky drinks. That trap spell is so useful.

As to each their own. The Combat Revamp Mod by one of the designers is nice, though only to get an idea what the Third games combat will be like.

So I've had the Windows 98 versions of Final Fantasy 7 and 8 for over a decade. Legit, box and guide and everything. You think if I contact Squeenix they'll let me trade them in for Steam codes of the same games? No

>>187476
Couldn't hurt to ask might ask ypu to send in the old copies for posterity.

>>187476
If they're in good condition you could probably sell them for more.

>>187482
People still buy those? [checks eBay] Huh! I guess it's a collector thing. And most of the winning bids would be enough for one each of the Steam versions. I guess I'll put them in my next round of auctions...

>>187495
Another well-polished game from Ubisoft.

Is it as bad as Assassin's Creed III?

>>187495
Not surprising. I would have enjoyed their PoP games far more if they had taken another 3-6 months to polish up the battle mechanics.

>>187495
Love how about five hours of game are DLC Bonus stuff.

>>187503
It looks worse the more realistic it gets. Oh please let the model stick in there and freak out.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/23/5746282/watch-dogs-gameplay-car-chase-video

This all looks very familiar.

>>187505
GTA with a Hacking Mechanic, really hope its not and there is more. But I'm guessing the overall game its going to be just kinda meh since they are trying to cover everything instead of just being one thing.

>>187506
Yeah. I saw a preview video where they talked about "digital trips", including an apocalyptic zombie racer and driving a spider mech. They're trying to do far too much and I doubt it's going to work out very well. Certainly won't live up to the hype.

Saw another complaint that the driving was looking really floaty. And I had to agree just that chase the car looked more like a boat on water than something touching the ground most the time. Seems like a game I'd send most my time playing stealth and riding mass trans than actually driving anything myself.

>>187518
Oh wow, that screenshot looks like garbage.

>>187518
>Former Abstergo employee
Oh boy.

>>187518
Hm well if they patch it then I'll look into whatever GOTY edition has all the DLC in it.

>>187522
That's the first time I've heard of this meaning of the word.

Who you callin spook, peckerwood?

It shouldn't be.

>>187526
What's wrong with starting an idea for something as "I want something where you play as a X?"

>>187529
I might be misreading their intentions, but it comes off as taking the story-over-gameplay route just because it seems to be the easier path. Fortunately, Polygon's article on the game presents a MUCH more promising experience.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/27/5745694/the-order-1886-is-a-cover-shooter-with-grand-aspirations

Too bad it's been delayed to 2015.

>>187515
it was great 9/10

InFamous is easily superior graphically, it didn't need to be programed for EVERYTHING.

BATTLECRY - Reveal Trailer (PEGI)
Please, don't be another Brink.

>>187542
Woo more team deathmatch.

>>187552
Literally the only game that didn't do it was Generations. Even Unleashed and Colors introduced friends, they were just less intrusive.

Sticks doesn't look any better with that in mind though.

So Dishonored is pretty much what I originally wanted out of Bioshock Infinite.

>>187557
If there is a sequel I hope they put the Wolfenstein team as part of it. Damn they are doing some good feels with that one. I'm really surprised how much character depth that game came up with. I'm really liking BJ characterization as I believe this it the first time he's been more than just the players Avatar for the fight.

>>187560
Also the first time you got to watch him bang a chick, twice.

And from comments its been happening more than that, noice! I like getting to know him more than just as a faceless machine of war. He's got some really good lines.

Watch Dogs : my "true next-gen experience"
Next gen, everyone!

>>187567
So was this developed to run on the last gen consoles to start then they decided to up it to the next gen market and had to strip out a ton of stuff to balance development across all the platforms. Because overall a lot of this is looking pretty poor.

Don't mess with Weegee.

Luigi Ridin' Dirty - Death Sta…

MK8 is magnificent. Tracks seem a little shorter than normal, but I don't mind. Game has an obscene amount of polish.

>>187552
This whole game feels like an embarrassment after the last few Sonic games actually started to shape up.
And did you read the reason for the wrappings? To make them seem "less vain". I'd love to hear how that makes sense.
Style aside the gameplay looks pretty bland and generic. It would be a powerful surprise of the game turns out to be good.

Prediction: Nintendo's Skylanders thing will be bigger than any of us have realized thus far.

EA is likely going to Trot out the "Full Spectrum" capabilities of the Dragon Age game (and the microtransaction items you'll have to buy to pursue relationships to completion)

Sony may talk about Similar since the whole Uncharted team got cleared out for the Last of Us guys and now Nathan Drake may be gay and they have some kinda "Definitive Edition" of LoU coming out as well." Since they really don't have much else to talk about.

Microsoft will take a beating over "hey you really don't need this shitty overpriced POS camera after all"

Konami, whatever metal gear is up to, that's it.

Nintendo, Depending on what they have in the way of Zelda and Bayonetta I could actually see them coming out ahead in this one.

>>187598

Speaking of Konami and Metal Gear:

http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/3/5775176/metal-gear-remake-given-the-go-ahead-by-konami

Will Sony win if they show Beast Souls?

>>187600
Not really. They would, if it hadn't been leaked, though.

>>187600
>>187601
According to two "insiders," Ahsan Rasheed and Jeremy Conrad, Microsoft has it in the bag this year. MS supposedly has a killer lineup and snagged a big exclusive: Mass Effect or Fallout 4. Conrad hinted on Twitter MS let EA out of one of their exclusives for another, in order to make up sales (Titanfall). If it's Fallout 4, then it will likely be a time exclusive, because I can't see Bethesda sticking this series to one console.

Personally, I don't have complete trust in either of those insiders. However, given how those two act like Sony fanboys all the time, it's interesting to see them saying MS has won E3 2014.

Problem with "gaming insiders" is that it's usually someone not involved with the industry; just someone who overhead something on the grapevine. Which is why I roll my eyes to every insider story Dualshockers publishes.

Wonder if Ubisoft will try to hype Watchdogs even though its become woefully duller than what was hyped last year.

>>187607
Well, we know one now I suppose. Time to load up on harvests.

>>187607
Nah, now they've got The Division for marketing to run into the ground and make everyone be tired and disappointed with the game before it even comes out.

>>187612
I want a transformer version of that Batmobile.
Also, I'm not really that hyped about Arkham Knight, but I believe this delay will help to polish it out better.

Luigi on Fox 5 news

Luigi and his lack of mercy has saved the Wii U.

>>187607
>>187611
Have you guys been following the nonsense going on with Harvest Moon right now? Apparently the Harvest Moon game Natsume is showing off is not a Bokujou Monogatari title by Marvelous, but some new title either internally developed or with a new partner--Marvelous has started letting XSEED translate the Bokujou Monogatari games, but Natsume still owns the "Harvest Moon" trademark, so "proper" BM games are going to start being released as "Song of Seasons," while Harvest Moon will, from "Lost Valley" onward, be a brand new series with the same name and branding.

So that's weird. A lot of Harvest Moon fans are upset with Natsume, but if it encourages both companies to innovate to differentiate from one another, or even just pushes both to excel, I'll be fine with more "Harvest Moon Kinda" games.

>>187614
Ah Luigi, the little bro that was allowed a personality. Waiting for his Figuarts release so bad.

I heard some good things about this game. Didn't think it would be received so well when I first heard about it, but now I want to give it a try.

>>187624
Indeed watching an LP of it and it does a damn fine job of fleshing out the world and the people in your resistance.

>>187628
Pretty much all AAA games are ending up like this. Which is why they are failing

>>187637
>>187628

Didn't it sell quite a bit, though? I know the people on /v/ were throwing around watchdog's numbers to try and discredit Mario Kart's sales over the weekend.

>>187643
Yea in part due to the massive hype and it covers more consoles obviously being a factor in bigger sales, would love to see the breakdown on units per console than just the blanket numbers. Still after all the hype there really isn't that much to say for it with the hacking being just press button stuff then something that a Super Hacker would be doing. I mean the final setup being Press X to execute the hack would be fine if there was more complexity to how it all lead up to those points. Also the amount of Horsepower it supposedly needs doesn't meet the overall value of the end product. And its like they didn't bother optimizing and fixing the product specs since that massive number showed how "powerful" the game would be. Though from what I've heard its much smaller than GTAV by a wide margin.

Valiant Hearts Developer Diary…

This is going to be an emotional roller coaster, I just know it.

>>187643

It sold a lot but that's after five years of AAA development, so who knows if it's met costs.

Like TOR, numbers it would have to pull to even break into the black, supposedly a lot.

This is a weird and overly specific question but has anyone printed their own box covers? I'm not sure what paper to use, so far they've been too stiff.

>>187679
I did, once, for creating a custom cover for the HL1 5-disc bundle from a decade ago. I just used a regular sheet of Legal paper and trimmed to size.

Note that the box art will likely eat your ink like a motherfucker and come out kind of rough, so if you can afford to just get it done at a Kinkos or something you'll be better off.

>>187681
Hmm, I guess my printer isn't really going to cut it either. Maybe a print shop can identify the kind of paper covers use too.

Just played a bit of Tomodachi Life.
You may not be able to be gay, but you sure can make your Miis look and sound as masculine/feminine as you want. Only difference seems to be what the game itself calls them.

All that stuff aside, it's pretty fun and silly.

Aaaaand were back at SOCIAL MEDIA

Frozen is a pretty bad movie, why does it get all the attention?

Like its had literally hundreds of general threads on /co/ at present and will have a hundred more, though for those I think the explanation is "lesbian incest shipping"

>>187869
Style over substance is the best I can think to talk about it. Feels too much like fucking Shrek in that it kinda mocks the old cliches with Love at first sight, True Loves Kiss and such but doesn't really do anything with it all. So people have to manufacture something to keep them to it.

Kinda like the games you are just supposed to play for the story though they aren't that enjoyable for the gameplay which is garbage. Like Two Souls where the players input was vague as hell as to which ending you would get ( and there are apparently a ton for a game your only supposed to play once). Story can be engaging but it its an utter slog for me to progress to the next cinematic and my input means noting, then fuck it.

>>187869
Because Elsa is a "lesbian" according to the internet (notably tumblr) and their obsession with a more "inclusive" media leads them to desperately insist into that.

>>187869
Those threads on /co/ have literally nothing to do with the movie anymore.

>>187869
Why ask if you know the answer?

Sure it does, the root issue is fucking gross lazy assholes banning half the population of humanity because they are "hard to animate."

Which has nothing to do with Frozen, an animated movie with several women in it, including the two most important characters.

WHAAAAAT?!

>>188047
Hearing Biscuit and Yahtzee talk about their platform preferences, yea I think the gimping was intended to boost console sales given it was hailed as a definitive Next Gen title.

I'm not so sure it's as sinister as it sounds.
Sometimes, a computer game has to dial back it's graphics to match a release date. What I mean by that is, PC AAA development takes a lot more time and effort than console development. You have to test on a lot more hardware and operating systems. It's not at all uncommon to come across a graphics bug that leads to a crash or instability on various cards or OS's. The development team may have decided to put the higher options on the wayside in favor of more stable settings; not having the time to properly implement them for a wider audience before release.

>>188056
Yea one would guess but it does leave a lot to question what they were doing for the six months they tacked on to work on the game. Specially since a couple of those features activated seemed to improve performance.

>>188068
It's not always that simple. Ports, especially to PC or MAC with all their different operating system versions and video cards as opposed to a consoles constancy, take tons of time to work with. 6 months is actually about average if it's planned right.
And while performance seems to have improved in some machines, it's very possible it causes major problems with others.

I'm just saying the reasoning behind it might be much more mundane than people are expecting. Of course it doesn't really matter what Ubisoft says; many people have already decided that it was all a conspiracy to make the PS4 version more popular. In spite of:
-Most people not being able to tell the difference.
-The PS4 already being a massive hit.
-Being far more harmful to Ubi's sales to a degree that an under the table deal with Sony would have to pay an exuberant amount to make up for. Especially difficult for a company that's just starting to get back on its feet.
-Relying on the belief that a PC developer assumed no one would ever check the .ini or they just forgot to remove it in spite of it being evidence to these believed underhanded tactics.

If it does turn out to be a scandal, I will be flabbergasted by both companies complete and total lack of basic human competence.

>>188075
Yea I get some of that especially when they only use one brand of card during testing and development. I guess we'll see what happens as they develop the mod to further activate the features and if he encounters the problems that caused them to strip them out. Because I do know it could be a very simple thing that may cause a fatal error and time just allows them to disable everything that could be causing the error. Its one of the reasons I'd rather have the PC port come out months or even a year later if it makes it a better experience since that is my system of choice. Heck they used to do that for PS3 titles optimizing the crap out of them before released.

As I suspected, Ubi's reasoning for hiding the Watchdogs options was for stability.
And also as I suspected, people don't believe them and would rather think it's some evil deal to make the PS4 version look better.

Fuck gamers.

>>188187
People don't believe them because Ubi shunning the PC is their typical MO and because their explanation flies in the face of the facts. Turning that shit on doesn't decrease stability at all, it increases performance with no increase in crashes or anything.

>>188174
>>188175
While I don't agree with his opinion, I do find it silly how anything he says gets everyone so riled. What he recently said is no different from what anyone else has said or done (like Nintendo), but for some reason, Fish saying it makes it the absolute worst. And I do think the gaming media took advantage of this with pieces like this.

>Turning that shit on doesn't decrease stability at all, it increases performance with no increase in crashes or anything.
This is not true for everyone. Some people actually report a decrease or no change at all. And that says nothing for what might be going on behind the scenes. I work in game testing, especially for computer ports. This sort of thing happens all the time. Having to remove a card from your recommended list can put a huge burden on sales and they likely didn't want to delay it any further to work out the rest of the kinks, because that too can severely hurt sales. So to prevent having to remove a card or delay it further, they dial back the selectable settings.

I'm sorry for flying off the handle, but I am just sick of this whole victimized mindset gamers (fuck it, nerds in general) have. As if any bad news is directly targeted at making them miserable. Because every company is just trying to find the perfect ratio of anger to profit for some nonsensical reason people frenzy themselves up into believing.

I find this answer way more believable amd grounded than the self sabotage for better PS4 sales theory.

It's probably the celebrity factor.
