Addv4, to games in Night Springs, the first Alan Wake 2 expansion, is available now.

Haven’t played Alan Wake 2 yet, is it good? I remember the original one fairly fondly (it played really well on my underpowered laptop and thought the story was decent).

scout10290,

My wife is the Alan Wake fan. I never really saw much of the first one but when 2 was released I sat and watched her play it on PS5 and it was awesome. As just a watcher I was blown away and could watch her play it again. It’s a very well designed game imo.

Yes Alan Wake 2 is very good. It’s very unique and oozes with style. I really like the track Remedy is on lately, first with Control and now with Alan Wake 2, whereas their earlier games did not grab me.

Alan Wake 2 was my personal GotY last year (and yes, I also played BG3). It’s both great as a video game, but also doing something very different from other AAA games with a very unique artistic POV, which I admire. It’s also dramatically enhanced by having played AW1 and Control, as the Remedy Connected Universe is doing a sort of Marvel thing. Hell, it even pseudo-ties into Max Payne and Quantum Break.

I definitely recommend it, not least for that one specific moment which I can’t spoil. Also the soundtrack is an absolute banger, I still listen to Poe - This Road frequently.

I doubt since it’s EA and that’s all they care about mostly. But the deadspace remake was normal so maybe there is a chance?

fjordbasa, to games in Ubisoft Toronto is joining the development of the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

One of my favorite games. I love the framing mechanic of him telling a story. If you die, he says “No, no, no, that’s not how it happened”

Mikufan, to games in Riot will hardware ban toxic players on Valorant

Firstly i highly doubt that, Secondly, ew. Also they are all toxic, they would ban their entire player base.

Xbox 360 is the goat 🐐

vividspecter, to games in KingdomHearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind (DLC) are coming to Steam on June 13th.

I’m not really a fan of KH but I am happy that JRPGs being released on Steam is expected at this point. There was a time when almost no Japanese games got PC ports.

I_Clean_Here, to games in Ghost of Tsushima became the biggest Single Player PlayStation debut on the Steam platform surpassing God of War.

Despite all the bullshit. So yeah, mainstream gamers don’t care.

Mainstream gamers in all delisted countries care.

all-knight-party, to games in Helldivers 2 - Sony no longer plans to enforce PSN account requirement for PC players
@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

Wait, what happened to all the delisted countries?

nokturne213,

Those were countries where psn is unavailable.

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

I know that, I mean, will they now be relisted for sale there, or remain delisted? The latter would be... Not a good sign for the future.

If PSN account linking was the reason for delisting, since it’s not going to happen anymore, I’d say those countries will be able to play it once again.

There would be no logical reason to keep them delisted, unless they plan to force players to link their accounts later in the future when everyone’s forgotten about this. I wouldn’t discard this possibility completely.

Cyberspark,

As of posting, they’re all still delisted. And it’s a quick thing for Valve, Sony clearly hasn’t told them to undo the delisting.

Luckily the community ended up going "hey, wait a minute..." about this, too, and it's gained some attention. I hope Sony commits

Cyberspark,

Nothing. It’s still delisted in all those countries. Sony has said they’ll not add PSN, but hasn’t actually taken any action.

RightHandOfIkaros, to games in RPCS3 (PlayStation 3 Emulator): Further SPU optimisations from developer elad335 have allowed for great performance gains on low end CPUs

Wish they would have said what CPU they used. What exactly do they define as a “low end CPU” that is 4 core/4 thread? How far back is low? An i5 4690k? Older? Newer?

Konraddo, to games in Dragon Age The Veilguard Gameplay Reveal Teaser

So we have action in this ARPG. I wonder if they are confident enough to show RPG bits before launch. Judging purely by the trailer, the game feels nothing like DA.

JCreazy, to technology in The Paradox of Blackmarket Wired Bluetooth Apple Headphones

Dude is just upset he lost his expensive earbuds.

ethanolparty,

I got second-hand annoyance for the people standing behind this guy in line while he argues with the clerks and tries to flex his “computer science degree”, only to be proved wrong again and again. Is there a techbro equivalent to a Karen?

I mean he’s not wrong, wired bluetooth earphones are a weird thing! But I’m getting huge Redditor vibes off this dude and I mean that in the worst possible way

pkmkdz, to games in Riot will hardware ban toxic players on Valorant

Oh come on, there will be no players left to play the game then

kinkles, to games in According to SteamDB at the time of this writing, the all-time peak player count for Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs on PC has yet to reach the game's 64-player quota.

Damn, this was a fun game when it was on Stadia but the $20 price tag was a tough pill. Shame they repeated the same mistake.

Bruhh, to games in According to SteamDB at the time of this writing, the all-time peak player count for Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs on PC has yet to reach the game's 64-player quota.

I really thought this game was going to be free. They were really banging on the PacMan IP to sell. How relevant is PacMan now a days?
