Excited to see more updates coming to Cult of the Lamb. I enjoyed the hell out of the main campaign and recent update.

Tried the Anger Foot demo a while back and it was okay. I may grab the full version depending on price. The aethetic is fun and interesting and the kicking mechanic is pretty satisfying.

Volition! Noooooo!

Made by New Blood, those seem like some stand up guys

Can’t wait for them to be corporate cogheads in 30 years if history repeats. Or I’m too cynical

MossyFeathers,

I’m pretty sure Dave Oshry would find a way to somehow fuck over whatever company tries to acquire New Blood, like employee contracts that give each employee a $5m bonus if the company gets acquired, required to be paid by the acquiring company. He just seems like the kinda guy who’d do that.

Poop,

I checked out their stuff on steam and I’ll probably pick up some of their games. Thanks for the info that they aren’t scummy.

MossyFeathers,

Dave Oshry is outspokenly pro-union.

Zo0,

I should pay more attention to names and stuff. I have played and enjoyed half their catalogue and didn’t even know it was made by the same devs haha

csolisr,

@Stamau123 @alessandro If that happens, it won't be out of their free will, but out of economic necessity. The cycle is well mapped already. Company starts losing steam, needs to get sold to a venture capitalist, the new owner ends up draining the last few bits of dignity the company used to have.

There’s an easy solution… make everything before the 2000s public domain.

Suck it, Nintendo.

Damn, I can no longer jokingly call it Dragon Age: Spreadwolf. What could you replace Veil with? VagGuard? Doesn’t have the same kinda ring to it, too misogynistic.

Perfect, 10/10 no notes.

This will be terrible but I’ll watch it. The story in the games is soap opera tier but somehow it works as part of the full package.

I bet it will come with a free copy of Denuvo. Will be an incredible deal: 2 softwares for the price of 1 software. Can’t beat that.

DarkThoughts,

I don't think Sony released a single PC port with Denuvo yet, so why do you think that's likely to happen in this case?

asymmetric,

Because it was a joke, Mr Pedantic Person.

DarkThoughts,

What's the punch line..?

Won’t buy it if it requires PSN account

Welcome to FC Steam

Rayspekt, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

This has infinite potential. Let’s hope they let the director cook and he knows what he’s doing. I’m totally down for live-action Yakuza weirdness.

On a side note: I hope it will feature a sad scene with the classical sob-story piano song.

An even sidier note: If we don’t get Bakamitai then gtfo.

blunderworld, to pcgaming in The Last of Us 2 Reportedly Set for PC

Holy shit Sony, just make a new game for once.

Zahille7,

True, but I also think it’s (double-edged sword) kind of a good thing that they’re finally bringing their exclusive titles to PC. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to play Spider-Man or God of War.

Shadowedcross,

Not sure how that relates to games being ported to PC.

blunderworld,

I feel like it’s pretty straightforward. Sony releases far more ports and remakes than newly developed original games.

snugglesthefalse,

It would be nice if they could just release things on pc in the first place then we wouldn’t have to mess around with all these extra releases

Shadowedcross,

They delay the PC release in hopes that you’ll buy a PS5 to play the sequel. I doubt it’s a very effective strategy, though.

Zahille7,

NGL they almost had me with Spider-Man 2.

But I watched a playthrough on YouTube cause I couldn’t wait. Still gonna (maybe, with all this PSN bullshit) play through it when it comes out on PC though.

Shadowedcross,

I mean, I don’t think they’re any slower to release new games than anyone else. I also don’t think the next Spider-Man or whatever is going to come out any slower because of ports either, since I think a different studio handles most of the porting work, I don’t know about remasters, though. Like this year, they’re releasing 5 new games, and they usually release at least 3 a year. Could they release more? Maybe, but games take longer to make than ever before.

blunderworld,

Wasn’t really intended as a comparison with any other developer either. They’re just a relevant example pertaining to a larger industry issue.

Fl1ppyR34, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

They’ve already done a live action adaptation of the original game back in 2006. It was a bit… odd, and definitely not the way you’d wanna experience the yakuza 1 story for the first time, but it is an entertaining enough shitshow of a time for people that just want more yakuza.

(Also the entire thing is on YouTube but don’t tell Sega that)

Well they had better take the time to do some unnecessary karaoke scenes. Live action “24-hour Cinderella” or I’m out.

Tripp1976, to pcgaming in The Last of Us 2 Reportedly Set for PC

Let’s see how bad they fuck up the port this time. Not holding my breath.

DarkThoughts,

Really hope they learned from the Part 1 disaster.

WereCat,

To be fair the Part 1 port is fairly good now but the release was quite janky… But I haven’t bought it until it went on sale anyways so…

Zoot,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

What was wrong with the 1st port? I ended up playing after finishing the TV series, and didn’t run into any bugs. I think I can recall having to restart maybe once cause a scene didn’t start. Beyond that, it was one of the first games I almost played twice just for NG+

ILikeBoobies,

On release it was poorly optimized

Even high end hardware had struggles, the worst part of 3d games is the cache though. That’s why some games put up a loading screen for it then load every asset behind that loading screen

A godot dev even recorded (inputs) a full playthrough of his then played it behind a loading screen at 10x speed

@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

wait a year before playing it and it will probably be good

garretble, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I like the games but hate Amazon so I’ll skip it.

But hopefully the show itself is good.

prole, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

I really hope this isn’t shit.

By “original”, I assume they mean Yakuza [Kiwami] 1 not Yakuza 0?

KuroiKaze,

Yeah Y0 is too far back to go for a show I imagine
