Kinda Funny? Oh right, with that retard Greg Miller....



Really helping your argument there Raynier.
:smugpipi:


I remember when Greg was the most annoying member of the Sony specific game coverage side (IGN were either retards or smart at the time as the segregated Sony, MS and Nintendo shills at the time). Basically he was the annoying guy who acted as the comedy hype man, could never tell if he actually played the games.

So yeah nothing has changed on the game journalism side WOOOOOO

10% is a whole lot less than buying the whole thing. I thought it would have been a bit too high of a price to pay for Sony when buying the whole company would have eaten through most of Sony's entire M&A budget immediately.

I completely forgot their existence ever since they backstabbed Colin Moriarty over an extremely tame woman joke. Not surprised they've been indoctrinated with the programming to appeal to dangerhairs and soybeards. Greg Miller in particular is a snake for that. Ruined a decades long friendship just to continue running a worse version of Giant Bomb (which itself is failing lol).
Trails in the sky 1st chapter is getting a 3D remake

Here's the full trailer.

In the description of the video it says "get ready to experience the Kingdom of Liberl with brand-new localizations" which has me worried. However, it has since been pointed out that the company localizing this game isn't NISA (who have done a surprisingly decent job until now but are currently working on Daybreak 2), but Gungho Entertainment. On top of that, Gungho Entertainment is staffed by many former employees of XSeed who translated the Sky trilogy a decade ago. I'm a little more optimistic now so I shall wait and see. On another note, THIS is the very best place to start if you were curious about the series, as it's the very first game chronologically.

Really looking forward to this. Been wanting to start a new playthrough of the series, so this is good timing.

That being said, I'll probably still wait until the same treatment happens to SC considering the two games are one large story split into two parts so I can play them back-to-back again. While FC was great, it was SC that really hooked me into the series and made me really like a lot of the characters. It's still one of my favorite games in the series to this day.

Stalker 2 had its 1.1 update today, which fixes a number of issues and begins their efforts to re-integrate A-Life into the game. The downside is that the patch is 110 GB large, so I can't confirm it for myself just yet - and if future A-Life improvement patches are this size, we're going to have issues! At that point, I might as well uninstall the game until all of the DLC is released so that I don't redownload the whole thing each month. There's always Stalker Anomaly to hold the tide until then.

Steam Christmas Sale just went up, so servers are hit hard - good luck downloading that patch, or anything else for the next few days!

EDIT: Just got a 75 GB patch for The Forever Winter as well, I anticipate further large patches to coincide with the steam sale! Please optimize patching methods, I am begging!

That short lived era of Miller and his crew being the gaming media darlings was some of the most astroturfed shit I’ve seen. I had zero clue who he was then, it felt so manufactured.

The universe had to even out for Tencent pulling out of Epic, but 10% isn't the worst it could've been.
10% is enough for them to exert some influence on the company and cause problems.

Question for those of you who may be following the news more closely than me. I'm potentially in the market for a Steamdeck or something similar (Like the Legion Go or ROG Ally) however I could have sworn I've heard rumors about a potential new revision of some of them being debuted at CES. Am I hallucinating? Because I'm having trouble sourcing my memory. I'm basically going to hold off making a purchase until at least after CES (since it's early January anyways) but I was just wondering if anyone more in the know had any info.

The situation with the Steam Deck is (much like everything Valve is involved in) in somewhat of a limbo. Valve has been rather quiet on the subject, only really stating that they don't want to release a Steam Deck until there is a significant leap in performance and graphical fidelity (most likely waiting until the release of RDNA 4 and working whatever wizardry they have to squeeze as much juice as possible out of the thing).

I think what you might be thinking of were the leaks of the "Steam Box" (essentially a game console running SteamOS) being announced sometime in January. Given that the leaks originally came from 4chan, normally it would be a good idea to take it with a grain of salt. But given how much Sony and Microsoft have been fumbling the ball this console generation, it wouldn't be a surprise if the leaks turned out to be true.

Ok, the opening for FF7:ReBirth certainly does a good job of messing with your expectations.

The big revision I heard of for Steam deck is that they are planning on a console that hooks to a TV or monitor.


I already made a console like this using Bazzite and a minipc. However, what this article is talking about is official hardware from Valve, supposedly.

The other big news for all handhelds is that there might be an official SteamOS release that can be used on any hardware that can support it. This would be sort of like Bazzite, except officially supported by Valve.

This console is the Steam Machine 2 allegedly btw. It'd be coming down the pipeline with the new Steam Controller 2 that I've seen a few leaks with, too. The fact that Microsoft is allegedly hopping off making consoles and Valve is attempting this again is kind of neat. I hope they have some form of software ready for people to download that'd be perfect for this. Maybe, something like the rumored HLX game?

Valve is supposed to attend this big tech conference in January, no optimism reacts. Like, they've been formally announced. Don't get too excited because they're probably there for SteamOS 3 news. I'm personally hoping that what you've posted is true and they finally unveil an official launcher/installer for PCs. Would be a nice thing to do as (non-NTSC) Windows 10 support ends this year and it'd give people an exit from having to use bloatware 11.

Some more Falcom news. Trails in the Sky vs Ys is finally getting an English release on PC.

The new company localizing the game is comprised of the former members of the Geofront fan translation group. Pretty excited. It seems to be Falcom's take on the Power Stone fighting game style

Edit: Switch, PS4 and PS5 also confirmed.
