ArtMediocre Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Looking forward to playing Halo Reach again, and just getting back into that universe. I'm okay with them drip feeding us the games. I don't have time to play all of the titles back to back anyway with kids around, so a good pause between what's available is nice. I'm pumped to play ODST again as well as stepping into Master Chiefs space boots. Made me think about these two awesome trailers they made: Amazing stuff!

Sméagol Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) It appears a new 2K studio is going to work on a new Bioshock.https://cloudchamberstudios.com/ Edit: @drahkon I'm going through my Steam library. Did you ever play Pony Island? It's a wholesome platform game featuring ponies. Edited December 9, 2019 by Sméagol 1

euroninfan Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I just bought a Desktop to play pc games. It been a while since I played pc games . I play any computer games along as there any good. It's been nearly 10 years since I played PC games. I do remember when i started playing them they were dear like €140 or even €200. Could someone tell me where I could buy good pc games and are they still very dear ?

They definitely aren't €200 any more (were they ever?)Games are usually cheapest when bought through Steam, or through GoG (good old games). I think you can also buy them from the Epic store, who sometimes give away free games. 1
Ganepark32 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 So last night I got my first taste of PC game streaming courtesy of Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud streaming service. It's now been made available to the wider public and you can sign up for free (though you'll only be able to play 1 hour sessions of games at a time) or can pick up a Founders package which is £4.99 a month for the year with 90 days free to start you off (the first paid month comes after the 90 days) and you can play with RTX on and can play for 6 hours per session. The service let's you play games you've bought on Steam or UPlay or the Epic Games Store, provided they're included in the database of titles available for the service which isn't the easiest to find out as you have to search for a game to see whether its playable or not though there is an archived page showing the list of games currently supported here. You can request games to be added I believe if they're not available and I presume they'll be adding things periodically as the months go on but it's not a bad selection of titles out of the gate. You can add games to your library on the PC app and then start playing. It'll ask you to log into your Steam, UPlay or Epic account to verify you've bought the game and then you're off and ready to go. Currently its available to play on PC, Mac and Android devices and so far from my experiences of it on PC and Android, it seems to run pretty well. I don't have the biggest library of games to go on and only have Hollow Knight and Owlboy but tested to former on my Samsung Galaxy S9 and it worked really well with a PS4 controller. There was an ever so slight delay with input but it was almost imperceptible. I then tried Destiny 2 seeing as its F2P and that ran well on my phone but the input delay was too high to be playable. Still, it looked great and there wasn't any noticeable frame drops from the short time I jumped into it on my phone. Going to test it out more on my potato of a PC but I suspect it'll run smoother in terms of minimising input delay. But yeah, very impressed with it especially as I only have a 50mbps fibre connection (50 down and about 5 up) so not amazing but it ran really well. Very much tempted to try out a few others things on Steam that I've been eyeing up, like Disco Elysium, but its promising so far and I'm looking forward to testing it out a bit more before deciding whether to commit to it or not especially as I don't have a PC good enough for gaming. 3 1
Jonnas Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Gentlemen, I'd like to call your attention to an unbelievably good deal on fanatical.com: 6 Steam games for €4,49 Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap - A very well received remake of a Sega classic; The Surge - A well reviewed 3D action game from 2017 (so you know it's good); King of Fighters XIV - Until XV comes out, it's the most recent installment of SNK's bonafide fighting game, and one with a very impressive roster; Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter - If you want an action/crime investigation game based on the most famous detective of all time; SNK 40th Anniversary Collection - 24 classic SNK games from the 80s, such as Athena, Ikari Warriors, and Psycho Soldier. None of their famous fighting games nor Metal Slug, though; Atari Vault - In case you want 100 shitty dated games from the 70s Ataris. Good for historic purposes, I guess. Any of these games for 5 Euros would be a bargain, but all six is a straight up steal. If @Glen-i is to be believed, Wonder Boy alone makes this worth it, and I'm sure there're a lot of Surge fans saying the same for that game. I already know I'm the only one here who's psyched for this price for KOF XIV, but trust me, it's great 3
Glen-i Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I mean, that's a bonkers deal, you'd be mad to not jump on that if you game on a PC. Looking at you, @Dcubed Edited February 18, 2020 by Glen-i 1
gaggle64 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Has anyone tried GeForce Now? I've tried the free tier after it got out of closed beta and I'm genuinely shocked how good it is. I've got decent internet with a very average AC router a room away but I've got Destiny 2 & Xcom 2 running almost always smoothly at Max/1080/60 on my dusty laptop. Signed up for the premier tier at the promo price, hopefully more compatible games get added over the coming year. Need to start collecting games worth using on it too.

Nicktendo Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Halo: Combat Evolved is now playable in Master Chief Collection. Downloading now Edit: It's amazing. Pressing the back button switches between original and updated graphics, well... textures to be more precise. I thought it was quite ugly when I first started the campaign but ooooh boy, those original graphics are NOT how I remember them... It's aged poorly. I remember the bump mapped textures and "realistic grass" looking amazing at the time. Not anymore I'm half way through the the Truth and Reconciliation and remembering why this is one of the best FPS games of all time. I was blown away at the time and this has hit me right in the nostalgia. I haven't played this game since 2005, I think. I got it for Xmas 2004 along with Michael Jackson's greatest hits album . Playing the first level to Bad and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough will forever been ingrained in my memory. Combination of a lifetime. Stuck the album on for a trip down memory lane, take me back.

Dufniall Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Damn that looks awesome. I have so much nostalgia for that series, I just hope it's good as some recent remasters (Warcraft 3, Commandos...) just didn't deliver and they are not even done by EA. Great to see that Keplacki is on board for the sound remasters, love that guy. And the video confirms the Red Alert secret missions, nice! I think I played those more than the normal missions haha. Here's hoping they don't screw up, and more importantly, we will see a Red Alert 2 remaster in the future!
Happenstance Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I would spend hours just playing Skirmish after Skirmish on Red Alert. It was also so easy to edit the game as you just had to go into one of the .ini files and change some numbers so we used to have Tanya firing tesla coil bolts instead.

Nintendo gives up on dedicated handhelds and consoles, Microsoft starts releasing their games on Nintendo consoles, and Sony are now a PC game developer. What a crazy generation! 1

What a crazy generation! With this and Death Stranding coming to PC, there is literally NO reason for me to ever consider a PS4. These were the two games that really piqued my interest, and now they're coming to PC. Good move, Sony

It seems to be the first in thing in a long time that EA has handled well. I have almost all the games, and I believe they technically work, but it obviously doesn't work too well or look too great. I'm pretty sure I tried to play Tiberian Sun on this computer, it worked, but it was stretched in HD, and videos were awful. I'll probably cry if get to play that again in HD, it was my first PC game.
Dufniall Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Both Tomb Raider and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris are currently free on Steam. If you haven't played Tomb Raider, grab this chance. Great reboot. 1
