There's an upcoming official stream for SRW30 coming out in a couple of days, seems newsworthy. Most likely result will be them announcing the next DLC and its content.

And they are still just modding the first game instead of working something new.
It sucks because they spent so much time worldbuilding that shit, they could do something more than just add a new character in 1 year and then tweak it for another year.
Part of the reason I stopped playing is because they kept fucking tweaking it with all patches, I don't feel like re-learning the whole game with every balance update.

>>421470
There's a ridiculous amount of background lore/characters involved for something that is just one fighting game. Though with the original studio dissolving because the dude in charge was such a fucking wankstain can't have helped things in terms of developing.

>>421471
Their next game being super woke instead of focusing on being a good game probably helped them getting dissolved.
Is Alex Ahad still in charge of the lore, or is it just the studio taking over completely and turning his designs into new characters?

To be fair most fighting games also have a ton of lore. Darkstalkers has an entire classification system for the monsters and a long background story for the demon realm. Virtua Fighter has practically zero lore inside the game; but in reality there's a shitload of stuff (shadowy organizations brainwashing people or turning them into T-1000s, a diseased cook looking for a worthy successor, hell Shenmue basically started out as the prequel to VF).

>>421472
Alex was fired a good while before the studio disbanded, no idea if he got back into its development after it changed hands.

Just got gifted the game by someone on Steam.
Need to know are the new characters they are adding any good? Buying the season pass containing them is more expensive than if I'd bought the original game itself.

Interesting.
Though mostly it reminds me how fucking ironic the game's title was considering the date of the trailer and its actual release.

>>421723
The development problems with the game were widely documented. It was a combination of engines not being capable enough at the time leading to project resets, and feature creep, that lead to the game being delayed.
Which sucks because the videos of this leak shows that the game was working fine and pretty fun to play. Perhaps it wasn't Half-Life or Halo "big", but if they could've just tweaked the lightning to not look so... static, then it would've made for a fine 2001-2 FPS game.

Honestly the Duke Nukem games were never very good.

The whole thing was devised by soulless marketing executives who have no understanding of human beings and need everything 'quantified' to show what a good job they do at hitting targets.

Why do people like artificial CRT effects as a graphic option in games?
Makes no sense to me.

>>421859
Some people like how it looks. That's about it.
As to whether they accurately simulate CRT style looks, that's a different question entirely.

Shit looks like its for real now, seeing more than just the three houses students new looks.

And also we've got a demo available already?

>>421868
The characters that were DLC as part of an expansion in the previous game are now in the base game. Wonder if this one will be getting any paid content. (If they really wanted to gouge the fanboys they could make characters from other instalments in the franchise as playable DLC fighters)

RoboCop: Rogue City | Gameplay Reveal

>Assassin's Creed Liberation HD will not be accessible following September 1st according to its Steam page

>The game is currently delisted on Steam but it appears even players who own it will no longer be able to play it starting this September.
>The following notice appears on the game's Steam page:
>"Notice: Please note this title will not be accessible following September 1st, 2022"

>It was previously announced that several Ubisoft games will have single player DLC access completely revoked on PC (for example the entire season pass for the original release of Assassin's Creed III), but in this case things seem to go a step beyond where a full single player game will no longer be accessible to owners.

Ubisoft is going above and beyond in its mission to remove your ability to play its old games.

Do people care about MultiVersus?

MultiVersus – Progression & Rewards Trailer

Not really one for multiplayer or free-to-play games myself, even if this is meant to be a decent Smash-alternative.

So after something like ten years, I finally updated my MAME setup. I was forced to because the old one did not support XInput, and I changed gamepads. Probably would've been easier to use some form of dinput wrapper like Xidi but whatever. Also on xinput pads you can't use the middle "xbox" button. On my old pad I had that mapped as the pause button. That will take some time getting used to.

The worst problem is that it has been so long that they changed a lot of the ways they save settings (NVRAM folder) and I have to manually port a shitload of them. Yay.
Fortunately, a lot of system use fixed patterns, so most of the time I just have to rename stuff and put them into folders, perhaps byteswap the data.
Except for Neogeo which seems to use far larger saves for some reason, I didn't look into that yet, the one game I tested seems to have the extra space mostly nulled out. Would be a bummer if I lost all my Metal Slug high scores, I used to play that so much.

>>422492
MAME is a bit more complicated than other emulators isn't it? Mostly stuck to the console ones myself.

This is weird, why would they do that?
https://www.pcgamer.com/2k-has-quietly-delisted-almost-all-of-the-wwe-games-on-steam/

At least it doesn't matter much because modern WWE games are shit.

>>422493
It's more complicated because it needs to handle a lot of different arcade hardware, different inputs, etc. One game for example may come on 10+ different ROM files, which are dumped individually, or have a mah-jong panel input, or a trackball.

The real issue though is that sometimes they refactor things to be more technically correct, with no regards to how much this breaks the user experience. And they are also huge assholes about everything.
For example, non-volatile save data (sram, onboard eeprom to store high-scores or test menu settings, etc) used to be saved in one single file in the NVRAM folder. If they change how this is saved, your old data will be lost with no warning. For Neogeo games, this was changed some time in the 00s (?) to be byte swapped. Then some time in the 2010s the entire thing was changed to have subfolders and multiple files, instead of just one "gamename".nv file - because some arcade boards may have multiple different eeproms to update. These changes are all technically correct, but I had to manually analyse and copy in the data because they did not do something to auto convert the old files. I understand that it's not always feasible to do this, but they had to update them to the new system at one point for every driver, so they could've written an auto converter for it too.
It's not all bad since for most games you just straight copy the file in and rename it to eeprom or nvram, and if you only play for ex. CPS2 games, then you can batch convert dozens of files at the same time.

but yeah I still had a few hundred files to analyse and convert, took me all Sunday.

Also the new render is horrible and drops frames left and right, making a lot of high-speed games look choppy. I had to switch back to the D3D renderer, but this requires a fullscreen switch, which temporarily disconnects my HDMI amp during the switch. Oh well, it's not a big deal.

Seeing mention of the Friday the 13th game it was kind of sad how that games got screwed over.
They had more updates they were going to expand their asymmetric monster-vs-survivors game with but out of the blue got the rights ripped away and were no longer allowed to, that was a death sentence.

Seems like everyone wants to jump on the movie adaptation train nowadays.

Is there a game you would actually want to see made into a film?
Still don't think the results have gotten much better than back in the day.

Some of them seem better suited to an animated format at least.
