Quoting: ageresWhy? Don't you see the difference in sprites quality between 2D games made for 720p and 1080p (like SteamWorld Dig)? Watch that teaser trailer in 480p/720p/1080p to compare.

I didn't say resolution it making no difference (for most games).
But it doesn't equal graphics quality.

I'd understand "graphics quality" in a broader meaning of art, not pixel count.

If you don't want to follow me on this one, look at all those sliders in graphics options:
Probably none of them changes resolution. So none of them changes graphics quality either?

And for sure it cannot be counted, as in "nine times better graphics".

Quoting: GuestNope, it just means nine times better resolution.

Don't "fully redone 4K visuals and new particle effects" mean updated graphics?

Sure, but "It was made for [...] 1280x720 resolution. 4k means nine times better graphics." is still nonsense. Graphics quality doesn't come in numbers, and if it would, it wouldn't be the number of pixels.

Cross-play FTW!

Quoting: STiATI had backed this game back in the day, and it became pretty clear during the development process what it is: a ripoff.

There goes another old hero... :-(

Quoting: subThis reminds me of the imho very sad fact, that with the sheer amount of games I buy in bundles and sales, I extremely rarely play them often or even complete them (that includes many that I actually really like).

This is one reason I avoid bundles nowadays. (Although it was tough for this one.) I'm just playing through Owlboy (I got it gifted from somebody here, thanks again, what a good game!), and only have two or three games on the stack - but dozens on the wish list, all games that absolutely need to be bought and played some day. Flooding yourself isn't doing you a favor.

Quoting: ArdjeI am suddenly thinking that it's easily fixed by:
for i in $(seq 1000 9999); do useradd steam$i;done
and start steam for each user, and use their e-mail addresses for new steam accounts... :-)

To make active users, they need to actually spend some money AFAIK.
(And you need to raise the number to make a difference.)

Quoting: x_wingThat must be some per country education rule. In my country America is just one continent (as a whole) and the North, Central and South are just regions.

While it seems quite natural to part the Americas (they're only connected by a rather small "passage") (*) , the parting of Europe and Asia seems quite unnatural when looking at a globe, and the "border" is not clear either.

(*) Liam! Please!

Quoting: TheReaperUKGive it 2 or 3 years and ID will hopefully open source the code.

Why would they do that?

It seems they are seeing reasons...

Looks nice. I don't do kickstarter (with one exception), but I sure hope they succeed!
