Community MetaSteam | February 2022 - Good night, and good luck, Lowly Tarnished

you'll play your game on your ipad and you'll like it

I don't think so, there was a PS promp in report #3 so likely console release at the very least.

Any thoughts when next Playstation PC announcement will be? Currently they only have UC 4 and LL announced with an unknown date.

No, unknown at this moment but I don't think Uncharted is that far away, however, I think Sackboy will be next as it's getting regular updates and perhaps GoT is Summer release? IDK but it makes sense to me.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

can't see anything new for PS on PC until the summer, I'd guess next one would be ghost of tsushima though

 

[dex3108]

I am still sticking with my prediction for GoT August release xD

Also Valve should finally find a way and let us setup Cloud Saves without developers/publishers. You give them as much space as they need, you give them all the tools they need and yet they refuse to set up cloud Saves for some reason.

 

[dex3108]

New peak, 29.6M

Could we see 30M next week?

 

[PC-tan]

With the release of Elden Ring and Steam Deck next week. Most likely we will see 30 million?

 

[Lashley]

Can't wait to replay Ghosts of Sushi on PC

Yes

They don't really go very in-depth this time, all these things I noticed and mentioned here hoping they'd delve into it much more when they got around to it. Also they don't mention the minor issues present here and there, water edges having artifacts, some wonky physics when it comes to getting out of the water or falling/fitting through certain gaps being inconsistent, also the behaviour of the eagles is kinda off and there's a certain visual glitch that so far for me always manifests in a specific place that everyone most likely gets to early on that's also not mentioned. They kinda overplay the issues of Powerslave EX too (without really mentioning them when making the previous video which otherwise went in much greater detail). This is still the definitive version going by its Sega Saturn focused base, they shouldn't add incorrect things about the unofficial version just to slander it vs the official thing. Oh well. Great game and a good video still

Wait, then is the previous EX version was better? Or this Exhumed one?

 

[Dinjoralo]

Gonna be upgrading the boyf's mobo and CPU, and with that we should have most of the spare parts to build a third, shared living-room PC. All I'd need is a case and fans... Ideally a cheap case since this will mostly be used for remote play and maybe Netflix.

 

[Lashley]

Is there any way to turn a PC on via keyboard?

When it's shut down I mean

 

[Mivey]

The Exhumed one, from what I undersand, Alextended also said that himself.
Don't really understand the drama around the Ex version, when Exhumed and Ex were ultimately done by the same person, so clearly the Exhumed version is their definitive take on the game.

If your BIOS supports it look in there. Power on by Keyboard (or mouse). Probably can set the key to do it as well.

Will have a look

Would it work with a wireless keyboard? Or only wired?

EDIT: Damn, my mobo doesnt support it

There wont be anywhere near enough SteamDecks to move the concurrent user numbers but Elden Ring probably will affect it.

 

[Aaron D.]

Edit: I'm sorta interested in this game:


But I'm nervous about what type of player base it'll attract since it's based on the American Civil War and allows you to play as the Confederates.

I’ve got a permanent close eye on Grand Tactician: CW.

By all accounts it’s supposed to be one of the best strat titles in recent years. Only thing holding me back is the RTS element.

But curiously enough since you’re controlling & positioning lines of troops on foot and horseback, the pacing of the RTS is far slower than something like SC.

The attention to detail on this one impresses and you can tell it was crafted with care when you look at the maps & menu styles that look era appropriate.

Not sure why I don’t already own it outside of the RTS anxiety. The tactical elements look absolutely dreamy.

At last, an interesting week.

Last week:

 

[dex3108]

NFT, NFT, NFT!!!

 

[Parsnip]

If I were a betting man I would also put my money on Sackboy being next Sony PC announcement, maybe even next game who knows. Unkarted 4 and LL is still an odd thing to pick without porting 1-3 first, so I wouldn't be terribly shocked if the Thieves Collection is just quietly delayed a bit and they squeeze the trilogy in there before that one.

 

[PC-tan]

Hey every thousand users count.

What if we end up being just 3k short of that 30 million users?

I love how cryptobros sell the blockchain as this secure overlord yet its susceptible to fucking phishing scams.

Gabe scrambling to ship more RAM sticks from New Zealand.

Given how fast preorders went I would say chances are if someone was able to get a February preorder they were probably a big fan of Steam and would very likely have already had an active device logged into Steam.

I don't think they have any interest in porting pre-PS4 games.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Have they outright said Elden Ring won't get DLC or has there been no word on that?

 

[Shahem]

Very likely fake sadly but....

The Nathan Drake Collection is a PS4 remaster.

Fake, but I wish it wasn't

It is curious how they keep getting fooled by obvious scams originally designed to dupe the elderly.

I just finished Anodyne 2: Return to Dust and it was such a great game.

Embracer has more money to spend on embracing other business:

Embracer has made 71 acquisitions, has $851 million for more buyouts

The Embracer Group has made 71 acquisitions, buyouts, and purchases from 2016 - 2021, plans to secure $851 million for more M&A.

They said nothing afaik

 

[SaberVS7]

Alright

Hitman 3 has been on Steam for a month now.

Bets on Mean-Time-To on a sale? And/Or IOI being vindictive and putting the Steam version on sale as minimally as possible (Both in frequency and %)?

 

[yuraya]

Wouldn't surprise me if there is no dlc/expansions for Elden Ring. If the main game has a lot of content its fine by me tbh.

I imagine they are sick of working on the game (4+ years) and eager to move on to something else. They surely been working on a new game side by side so they will probably push all devs onto that next project.

The one thing that will force their hand is Bamco. The game is gonna be a huge hit and maybe sell like 20+ million lifetime so selling dlc will be win/win for everyone. They would sell a lot. The way the game is designed would make dlc easy too just add a new kingdom or island somewhere + some fashion/weapons and = easy $$$.

 

[PC-tan]

So where is the cheapest place to pre-order Elden Ring and also does any one know if I can just buy FFVI via steam key and they just buy the rest of the bundle in order to get the pre-order music files?

According to ggdeals, it's currently cheapest on DLGamer, a site i haven't heard of before
Greenmangaming is a close second, and that's a place ive used many times before

I went through 30+ pages of posts so I'm all caught up, now. And welcome back, lashman!

This is a modded Unityplayer.dll from the FF modding community found here:

Did you mod your games at all? It's weird for an unmodded game resulting in borked save games, but then again, it's Squeenix.
I've been playing through FFPR myself (up to FF IV as of last night) and the experience was a lot better with mods -- as it was always has been.

Max Curse is pretty fun.

Capcom Fighting Game Collection and Street Fighter VI officially announced. Street Fighter VI is more than likely being done on the RE Engine.

What a terrible logo

 

[ExistentialThought]

Is Street Fighter 6 RE Engine?

 

[Cacher]

What a terrible logo

Same. Doesn't look like a logo for Street Fighters, but rather something for a cheap FPS on smartphone.

Infernax seems like a nice little throwback game, I always liked a lot of Zelda 2, kinda cool to see so much of it living on today.
But is the game pretty damn hard or is it just me? Feels like some sequences are hard, and it's scarce in checkpoints...

Happy Steam Deck (reviews) week!
