Damn Kojima. I played the first game and when I finished it after 60+ tedious hours I thought: "well, maybe it was just an OK game". But this trailer is so f*cking awesome I am again intrigued. There are so many tiny details picking my interest... Higgs wearing Amelie pendant, Higgs playing Lou's theme on the electric guitar axe while launching rays, the golden strands we can see on minute 8:40 when the new character presumably found in the chrysalis, etc. etc. etc.

I don't want, but I see I will finish taking the bait when the game is released on PC.

Disappointing. They will have to pay for the Windows license, so either they increase the price, reduce the profits or both.

I don't know what happened, but the fact that they do not even offer the console with HoloISO as a purchase option, makes me suspect they were having problems with HoloISO customization for the handheld. We will see when it is launched and someone installs the HoloISO image.

I like AI technology, I think that well used it can generate great value. But we have to stop the rampaging copyright and license infringement AI companies are perpetrating. A product that needs to systematically break the law to work is not acceptable by any means.

No AI was used for the generation of this post :happy:

Someone should make (maybe somebody has) a vd3d vs VKD3D-Proton vs DXVK for dummies, I am always lost about which one is for which use case.

I'll stick to my good old SD, but the additions are really tempting, they went directly to improve the most criticized aspects of the machine (screen, battery) and added some more nice things along the way. If you were considering buying one, now is a great time to do it!

Quoting: eldakingI can already see it, the beginning of their line of gaming bath toys: the Steam Duck!

That would be EPIC! (and I am not talking about the game developer :angry:)

Looks like a very good deal, but for who?

* For Epic? Sure they have run the numbers and they would not be doing it if it wasn't.
* For the users? I don't think so. Exclusivity is never good for users. In this case they might be forcing you to play in a platform you do not like.
* For the devs? Looks like it is. They get every buck of the game for the first 6 months, that for many many games is when most of the sales are, and then you can release the game on other platforms, so if anyone didn't buy it on Epic, they can buy it anywhere else. But will it work like this? In these 6 months you are restricting the reach to a much lower audience. And I don't know how many of them are, but some users will not get the game on the Epic store even if you give it for free (yes, I know because I am one of them). Will these people buy the game 6 months after release on other stores like Steam? Maybe, but maybe not: the exclusivity can cause rejection for the title on some users, or maybe 6 months after release, your game is not the next big thing anymore.

So, I'm not that sure anyone other than Epic will benefit that much from this. Consider that the usual way to get 6 month exclusives before was paying big bucks upfront... to me this does not look like a better deal for devs.

I don't care about RTX, but those new models and textures 🤩...

I had a hobby: from time to time, I chose a game from my Steam library, installed it, and made it work using Wine. Once I got it working, I uninstalled the game and did not play it again. Proton (and the Steam Deck) killed my hobby and now I'm forced to actually play the games!
