MrVestek

Stayed up late tonight to watch the last few episodes of Orange is the New Black and what happens before I'm just about to nod off? Only about 10 notifications to my Facebook wall.

Together with a soccer team sponsorship deal, gotta do these things right!

Good news to wake up to... All without having to stay up late to sit through a corporate press conference!

Is it the first of April again?!?

Steve X2

I thought the day would never come, I just backed Shenmue 3 on Kickstarter!
Wasn't expecting to be doing that this morning I hope they release a few more stretch goals, I wants me some sweet sweet limited edition merchandise.

blag

First Kickstarter game I've contributed to, easy decision!

Really hoping for a physical console release of shenmue. Hopefully it'll be an option with enough funding.

Maybe a 10 disc dreamcast version too :P

I'll eat a hat if that's the case. Preferably the Nacho Man hat.

The Last Guardian clip looked very nice, has that Team ICO feel to the game. Hard to get excited about much of the stuff though, no doubt it'll all running on hugely expensive pc hardware or else is nothing but pre rendered cut scene animations. Plus, the cringe levels were high at some of the stuff....some of those cheers/clapping have to be paid for shills

Looking at that Doom preview and I can already hear babies crying about graphical downgrades when it finally releases.

I'm just hoping it can run at 60fps on consoles, just like the previous engine was built to do.

While I don't believe graphical fidelity should define a game or its merit, I have to say I do empathise with people who get ticked off to see a shiny, impressive, next generation looking game being presented - only for it to turn out to be consciously downgraded to ensure parity. Watchdogs on PC is case in point, all the fancy settings were unearthed by users who were able to turn them back on again. Parity needs to cease, or if not, presentations shouldn't be based on an undeliverable product.

It's a sorry state of affairs to be hoping for 60fps on new generation consoles in 2015 I don't say that as a 'fanboy' of any particular platform, but give me higher frame rates over higher resolutions any day of the week.

People need to stop pre-ordering stuff. Judge the game on what it actually looks like when it's finally released.

The PC games industry simply wouldn't exist without the console industry to prop it up.

I see a lot of people annoyed that Dark Souls 3 is only a 'maybe' for PC at the moment and pointing to how many copies the first two shifted on PC... but how many of those copies are from steam sales? Where as the bulk of console game sales take place in the first few weeks at full price.

Don't forget the ethically dubious CD key sites!

It genuinely baffles me when PC players bemoan the existence of exclusive AAA games on the format, when their very spending habits are the ones that have created the situation.

That would have been the sound track to the PS port of the game, very creepy!

Disappointing Nintendo event overall, Metroid looks like lightweight fare aimed at kids, Star Fox looks nice but, again, all a bit simplistic.
No Mario Sunshine, no WiiU Zelda

+1 to that, fully agree there.

That may be, but for me, it doesn't excuse the act of presenting games in a manner that they can't be delivered upon. Parity is a bad thing in my opinion, pc gaming & console gaming always had a bit of a divide between them. Intentionally decreasing the quality of one to serve the other just pisses people off.

Indeed, it's not really representative. If people want the game that bad & it's only on consoles....buy a console

With Dark Souls though the community is really centered around the PC versions. Bloodborne really suffered not having a PC port in that regard especially in regards to fan made content.

johnny_ultimate

Grow Home on sale on Steam at the moment, very highly recommended! Smart, charming and innovative climbing game - Ubisoft should give the team responsible for it a chance at Assassins Creed, as it offers the more robust mechanics and razor sharp focus that series sorely needs!

Myrddin

Ha, Shenmue III funded already Stretch goals from here on out, really disappointed though there's no PS4 physical release, ah well.

CiDeRmAn

48hrs ago you'd have given Retr0s left kidney for the game, today you are disappointed in no physical release???
Perhaps they'll publish it in physical form on the Dreamcast 2, seeing as we are living in the age of miracles!

I know I know, but I'd so much rather have a shelf of games than a collection of unseen files on a hdd somewhere I guess we can't be choosers in this case. Is it just me or will it feel totally wrong playing Shenmue III on a pc?? If there were ever a pure console game, Shenmue is it for me

CiDeRmAn

The resolution wars seem to be over though, no more discussion about the place about p's or fps'ssss, is it resolved or has the herd moved on to other pastures to complain about?

Jack burton

The whole graphical downgrade thing is something that annoys me now. Even though I'm not too pushed on graphics alone, dont show what it wont look like. Dark Souls 2 case in point, that beta looked x10 better than the release. I havnt played it on PC yet but im sure the community have made it look more like the beta by this stage

Pretty happy with Fallout 4 looking really great but not too good to be true, what we all saw is exactly what we'll get

That was the first thing I said to myself too when I seen the trailer. It seems very representative of what a final product will look like, & for that, it should be commended. You still get people whining though, wanting it to look better. You can't win.
