Definitely looking forward to RE7. Got the deluxe version for Christmas  . I'm curious to see how the playable teaser/demo compares to the full thing.

Those 15 minutes of Outlast 2 were more interesting than all of Outlast 1 I managed to tolerate, that's for sure. Kinda looking forward to it, and RE7 obv.

FirstAidKite posted:I watched mr kravin's playthrough of it, it was pretty neat tho the ending was pretty standard and kinda lame imo but otherwise it was a cool game. I watched some dorklord on Youtube's "Demonic Furbys are trying to eat me" playthrough and I feel like I got the whole experience? Do I have to send the guys who made it six bucks now? Maybe some people like that it didn't really explain much of anything, but I felt it could have left a little less to the imagination. Also, I don't know, it did great "atmosphere" but I didn't see a whole lot of "gameplay" there. Red Eyes comes after you when the light is out but then when the lights are on she's not there, just teleporting around randomly like Jason Voorhees on a meth binge. The voice is great though. Total Cyborg Midwives vibe there, I figured "okay so it's gonna reveal they used a real mother as a personality profile but after the prototype was released they found out she was a psycho who ate her own kids or something", nope, didn't reveal poo poo.

Survivor's Notes - a game where you leave notes about traps, supplies and useful info after The Event to guide an AI player through a lab, facility or whatever. Like the Soulsborne message system, except you probably don't want to be a dick all the time.

Silent Hill kinda did that with the end area of Silent Hill 3  I'd be more interested in a sorta multiplayer type game where you leave notes behind at specific points and you're given limited text or what-have-you and then that gets saved to the game's servers or whatever and some other player ends up coming across the notes, and then when said player reaches a certain point, they'll have to start leaving the notes for the next player.

Then the developers themselves can seed an initial batch of "highly rated" notes, and when you finish a game (or even a chapter) you can rate your note-giver packages. That seems like it could be really fun.

I know it is very repetitive, but I actually loved the jump scares and it was really like running around a haunted house with some pretty messed up imagery. I think it could have used some more mechanics to it's stealth. Like maybe some way to stun an enemy when you get spotted so you can run, because it was extremely frustrating that almost any time you spotted it equaled instant death.

Every few years we seem to have to learn the same lesson over and over again. From SecuROM to Starforce. It sucks because I just got a new computer that could easily handle RE7, but nah, I guess I gotta wait on a console rental or whatever.

Yeah I can see that Always Online can be a hassle. Still, to go from a bought game to console rental? Why not console during a sale or wait until Denuvo gets removed which is a real thing(DOOM 4 got this treatment).

Because if I just want to see for myself if its actually good while I wait for a possible better version, well that's what rentals are for? If the grand experiment of emphasis on horror doesn't work, why should I buy RE7 unbound by uneeded DRM? That's what RE7's trying to be right, more of a survival than an action game this time?

Crabtree posted:The real horror is that sadly everyone wants to put Denuvo into their games. Even when they're already stuck on steam! Steam as "DRM" is only there to prevent you from accessing Steam services. It does nothing to stop people from cracking the game. Anyway, the appeal of Denuvo is largely to European developers who still face mega piracy in their regions. 5 years ago the problem was that the digital marketplace wasn't available in those regions or the currency was converted at an inflated rate ($60 = 60 euros, uh what?). But that's not the case now and pretty much everyone across the world can buy in their region in their currency with some region restrictions to conform to laws and stuff. And yet piracy hasn't gone down in spite of markets getting better. I definitely see the justification when a company like CDPR goes far out of their way to be fair and The Witcher 3 is still the most pirated game of the year. It's a peace of mind thing. The logic is the same as "locks only keep honest people honest." A criminal will break your lock if they want your stuff but you're not going to leave your door unlocked.

Witcher 3 was a huge success and GOG is DRM-free. DRM services categorically make the end user experience worse without actually curbing piracy at all.
