seems like Gears Collection might be coming. would be cool, especially on PC (where 2, 3, and Judgment were never ported and where Gears 1 UE has been broken for several years due to a Windows update) https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1485642594696802311

I would rather have Fable, but I would be happy with all of the Gears games being on PC too.

Detective No. 27 posted:They are. I got one cheap from a retro game store that was traded in brand new because people are always selling them stuff they stole at Wal Mart. My Series S claims that the regular old 1TB SSD I have plugged in for storage is not fast enough "for newer games" and I'm wondering how true that is.

Probably pretty true if it's an optimized Series game since they'll be expecting the speeds of the approved SSD expansion cards.

The internal/official expansion storage devices use proprietary compression to achieve the higher speeds dont they?

Basic Chunnel posted:My Series S claims that the regular old 1TB SSD I have plugged in for storage is not fast enough "for newer games" and I'm wondering how true that is. Technically yes. 2.5" SSDs typically have transfer speeds in the 500 MB/s range whereas the M.2 SSD inside the Series is like 3500 or some such. And external USB is a pretty significant bottleneck at these upper rates of transfer speeds.

Just had another great experience with Game Pass. I hadn't played Myst since the first remake of it around 2000, but I saw the newest remake available and downloaded it on a whim. My friend and her kid were visiting me, and neither of them are that into video games, but the three of us spent most of the weekend working our way through all the puzzles and waiting to see what Sirrus and Achenar would say next whenever we found another page. I wouldn't have bought and downloaded the game just to entertain a teenager, but it worked out nicely. Xbox stays winning

Rev. Bleech_ posted:My PS3 remains connected for one reason and one reason only: playing Katamari Forever when I get stoned. Reroll and Beautiful Katamari just don't scratch the itch the same way That is such a good game and a really substantial package. I wish Bandai Namco would either release it again (I'm still puzzled over the original game getting pushed out rather than Forever considering it was a revamped best-of) or just make a new Katamari. It doesn't have to reinvent the wheel, if it ain't broke don't fix it. With the hardware the new consoles have however they could craft huge levels with an insane amount of objects thanks to the low poly art style and the loading speeds being so fast would mean they could do some really awesome things with the scaling as the katamari gets bigger. I know the original creator didn't want to return to the series but let someone else tackle it? I don't think he was involved in much beyond the first game but they still had some great and clever ideas and it all culminating in Forever with levels actually being full of so much stuff to roll up was really satisfying. A new Katamari game would be amazing. We've rolled up the solar system so call it Katamari Universe or something and have our solar system be the first part of the game before going onto new planets and letting the designers go wild  I've no doubt it would be really colorful and charming, have brilliantly designed worlds/creatures and they kept nailing the soundtrack right up until they stopped the series. It's long overdue a comeback.Quantum of Phallus posted:Electronic Arts & Lucasfilm Games announce new Star Wars titles from Respawn Entertainment I am so glad that OG Titanfall is still around and Xbox FPS boosted that and the sequel to 120fps on Series X because otherwise this news would be extra depressing. I think the PC community has started modding Titanfall 2 as well (I saw a streamer showing off some weird stuff the other day) and theorized they might be able to get the maps ported from the first game but Respawn what are you doing

I would bet my house that there is an active Titanfall 3/Apex-Titanfall project in development at Respawn. Is it known how big that studio is? Any reason why they can't have Apex, multiple Star Wars games and TF3 in active development at the same time?

A Respawn employee outright said there's no Titanfall projects in development or planned a while back on Twitter. I don't know about splitting the playerbase though since they're two entirely different games and Titanfall is as far from Apex Legends as Dark Souls is from Gears of War. I think they will be getting closer in the future however since apparently Apex Legends will be getting a Titanfall-inspired 9v9 mode with respawns where players have to capture and hold an objective. Still a very different game without the Titanfall core movement system and the titans themselves. It's odd as well since the maps in Apex Legends look like they're built for titans and all those AI soldiers/spectres etc. to be running around but I guess the same could be said for every BR title. I think I heard that Fortnite actually added a mech at some point?

they could make 2042 free to play and I still wouldnt bother. The game sucks. nothing will really change that. its fundamentally flawed in so many ways before you even get to the endless bugs and problems that even without the bugs the game would still suck.

It was nothing but showing off memes, how anyone thought this might be a return to the golden era of Battlefield is beyond me. The entire goal of the game was for people to create viral Youtube videos.

It took an entire generation of terrible Need For Speed games for EA to finally drop the IP and focus elsewhere. We've now gone just beyond an entire generation of Battlefield games that were utter garbage so hopefully EA gives up and doesn't try to revive Medal of Honor either. Everyone wanted more Bad Company but they pushed ahead with mainline BF instead for some dumb reason. Isn't one of the selling points of the new Battlefield that it has some Bad Company content in it? Just remaster Bad Company 2 like Dead Space and call it a day. veni veni veni posted:I can’t believe I bought the deluxe version of it Oh man that sucks. I dunno if Bad Company 2 is part of the BC sale or if the sale is still ongoing but maybe that will cheer you up? SUNKOS fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Jan 25, 2022 |

I've kinda fallen off gaming in the past few years, but I recently had The Forgotten City recommended to me. It sounded like something different, so I played it and it was fantastic. Anyone have any recommendations for other games in this vein? I've seen both "12 Minutes" and "Outer Wilds" recommended - are either of them any good?

For me, the last straw was Destiny. Never again.

BC2 is also on gamepass. Greatest BF game ever as far as I’m concerned, but a few years ago I tried it on xbone and the multi was completely dead sadly. But yeah they had that free trial for 2042 and despite me knowing it was awful I was having fun with it and wanted to keep playing, but you had to buy the $90 version to keep playing. I haven’t touched it since 2 weeks after launch. What a waste of money lol. I hope it’s passable by the time season 1 launches because apparently I have years worth of the dumb season passes. I ain’t holding my breath though. If nothing else I’ll probably go gently caress around in portal once in a while since it actually has maps from good battlefields in it.

EA will have DICE make more Battlefront games to complement their growing library of Star Wars titles, I guess. The BF names may be damaged (both Battlefield and Battlefront) but attaching a Star Wars license moves units regardless of reputation. As for more Titanfall... is Steve Fukuda at Respawn anymore? I feel like he hasn't been seen or heard in years, didn't even have a credit on Apex AFAIK.

Zampella is taking control of the west coast DICE division, so that's prolly Battlefield's chance to get a one up on COD even though both series are kinda waning. Gonna take a really quality installment to purge the aftertaste of 2042 tho

Is CoD really waning as a series? I know Vanguard didn't do too hot but I thought Warzone (and mobile for that matter) were still huge.
