not yet, no ... hopefully soon

(it requires the game to be EXTREMELY moddable to be able to do something like that .... for Q2 we have the actual source code - so that probably helped a bit;))
Maybe Doom 3 is next since they released to source code for id Tech 4 as well?

I tried searching if there was already a topic on it but apparently "RAD" is too short of a keyword...

Anybody tried it yet? I got into the closed beta (somebody posted about it on ERA).

The very first 5 minutes were stupendously bad (I thought "sigh yet another sub-par DoubleFine game... they'll drop it as quickly as they did with spacebase df-9")... floaty controls, visually hard to parse, shitty combat... but as soon as you start mutating it becomes quite fun! Some bosses felt bullet hell-ish and the gameplay seems to be rather deep (only once you get a several active mutations). So, overall, I was pleasantly surprised.

Sadly rogue-lites cannot hold my interest like they used to and I doubt that I'll try more than 3-4 runs, but fans of the genre will probably be happy.
Reminder: last day to pause your humble monthly.
Heh. Thanks. I paused it at soon as AC was revealed... I just hope I won't regret it once the smaller titles are revealed.

Judgement is unfortunately listed only for PS4. I guess it wasn’t a typo after all.
i'm 100% sure it'll come eventually ... there's no reason for them not to release it on PC

Maybe it'll be announced this E3 Pcgaming show in another "best of Japan" announcement
best of Japan ... coming exclusively to EGS

Maybe Doom 3 is next since they released to source code for id Tech 4 as well?
yeah, i can definitely see that happening ... Doom 3 would be PERFECT for raytracing

Sega’s Financial results came out today. Yakuza 6 is listed once again as PS4/PC. Judgement is unfortunately listed only for PS4. I guess it wasn’t a typo after all.
Producer said that they're considering it atm. It's probably extremely likely, given the popularity of Yakuza on Steam.

Why put out Yakuza 6 before 3-5 though?
Well, I guess it's less painful to port a PS4 game, plus the games aren't really connected storywise.

As someone who played every mainline Yakuza except 6, I can't wait for a PC release, I want to see Kiryuu-chan kicking ass one last time.

They did the same on PS4. ¯\(ツ)
Not like the games are connected storywise, it's more of a AssCreed situation...
The stories are self contained but saying that they aren't connected isn't accurate.
Playing them in order is definitely ideal. The relationships between the characters evolve and past events and characters are referenced often.

They didn't want to delay Y6 until they had all the remasters out the door, it would've taken too long, they can't just release them on top of each other.

Dead or Alive is a dress up simulator disguised as a shallow fighting game. It's essentially just a mainstream Illusion Soft game without the actual fucking part.

As for Yakuza 6 I imagine it will be easier to port it over now since they're already getting the Dragon Engine ready to rock for Kiwami 2.

Well if it's still FAIRLY self contained I guess I'll jump to Yakuza 6 after Kiwami 2? 😕
Doesn't sound ideal

Are the remasters for Y3-5 planned to be dropped all at once as a concurrent release, or individually over time one after the other?

Started another run on Sekiro, this time without the charm, I'm enjoying it so far, it's probably my last playthrough before I'm finally done with the game, gonna play it alongside dishonored 2.

Everything indicates that they will be released at once, either as a collection or as separate products.

I tried every single 3D fighter saga and DoA is still, by far, my favorite one (especially 4). And my mains are Hayate and Hayabusa, don't really care about the fan service.
My favorites are Honoka and Hitomi, I guess I cant escape fanservice :minos_emperor:

I bought Monster Hunter World on a whim, did they add PlayStation button prompts or will I need a mod?
You’ll need a mod. Game has been patched a few times and it hasnt messed with it but i guess its cause its just replacing images in the game.

Yeah it still works, it was neat to see someone from Era made it 😋

Game looks beautiful with the high res textures.

Would you know if there is any way to get this value from Python?



I must admit I am clueless with responsive pages.

If I access the content of the page where it should be, I don't have access to the values which are shown (and frequently refreshed) inside my browser:

Edit: Something to do with this, I guess.



Edit²: Nevermind. The web browser is magic.

I hope the SNK 40th collection comes to PC with Baseball Stars included. Why would SNK make that exclusive, I don't get it. Did MS actually pay for that or did SNK do it on its own?

Speaking of fighting games, is there any with decent story mode besides the games from NRS and Naruto? I know people don't play them for that kind of stuff but I suck at combo input memorization and don't disgrace online with my presence.

I want to say Guilty Gear XX #R, I liked it at the time since it was character focused. Accent Core is more of a side story for characters.

I used to believe in Tekken because everyone got an FMV ending.

They really screwed that one up badly in Tekken 7.

Have you tried Virtua Fighter after playing DoA? VF is what DoA bases itself on.
The only DoA based on VF was the first one, that even used the same engine. Gameplay wise they're nothing alike, VF is a lot more technical but DoA has all the counter system i love.

Soulcalibur VI is a great choice, if you want single-player, story content.

And, I found Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul to be very enjoyable as well.
I have minimum knowledge of the manga/anime it's based on (I saw a couple of episodes of the 80's series, and that's it), but I actually enjoyed playing the single-player campaigns, which apparently are based on the different story arcs of the manga/anime.
It also has several other single-player modes (which cover other complementary bits and side-stories), a big roster of characters, and plenty of unlockables (characters, stages, music, artworks, ...) to keep you busy.

SoulCalibur VI is a rehash of OG Soul Calibur. A literal relaunch. I was very disappointed that the game's story went back in time to 1999 instead of forward.

Only a few more days till Valve VR news drops.

When does Metacouncil get a VR port?! Metacouncil could be the first properly done gaming forum, but whatever that is in a VR medium!
You mean this...

I know nothing about it aside from the crazy VRChat dance videos with full body tracking that i've seen but i suppose someone could start a MetaVRCouncil chat room?

For those following the crunch stories of the past few weeks, CBC News has put up a story about it. It's not just enthusiast press looking at this anymore. It's an evenhanded piece.
Hopefully this isn't the only instance and the noise becomes to overwhelming to avoid for the industry

:minos_gun:


And lol thinking the games are standalone, they are more like chapters in a live story of one person.

2 is a bad entry point.
3 is the conclusion of the first saga but it is a fine entry point.
4 is the next saga so it all starts fresh except it all happens because the things you did in the previous games.
5 is the best set up of all the games but it's an horrible entry point direct continuation of 4.
0 ruins 5 but you all love it now.
6 is a direct continuation of the damned ending of 5 and the damn reason I need it in my life, I need to know if they are mad enough to do what they want to do with the story.

News might help, but ultimately it's either regulation or unionization. The US doesn't have a great track record for worker rights, so I'd assume the only chance of devs there is to form a union, despite all the resistance against it.

I think we also should change our consumer habits. Publishers cream themselves with the thought of having their game as the #1, with copies selling by the millions, the month it is released. Maybe if we stop glorifying said feats, especially in the PC environment where games have infinite legs, things will change slowly.

Characters still float like they do in VF and the "get hit" animations are identical.

It's not 1:1 but the roots are undeniable.
I mean, even Hayashi said DoA wouldn't exist without VF, that's a fact. But that doesn't change that for me gameplay feels totally different because of the counter system, where i can win a fight without throwing a single punch (and i do it a lot against spammers). And yes, i know some VF characters also have some counters, but obviously doesn't work the same way.

Yeah, the whole "do more damage from counters than actually pressing punch or kick" thing is the reason why I actually DO NOT like DOA, generally.

Just because its in their financial listings doesn’t mean it will be the next release, Remember the first listing was before Kiwami 2 was announced for PC.

Its possible 3-5 will release before 6.

Yeah ok, playing 6 next after Kiwami 2 seems a bad idea 😕

"Have you thought of those players who sit in front of the screen and do 16 hours crunch playing the game you designed every day? On top of that they don't get paid."

I don't even...
