There's a new Dreamcast survival horror coming from Pixel Heart. It's eventually coming to other things too, and there's a Kickstarter coming soon https://bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/3959475/segas-dreamcast-to-live-again-with-brand-new-survival-horror-title-white-creek-trailer/

I'm going to have to wait on it a bit, but I hope it's good

bullshit Steam Machine!

Evercade are having to up the cost of their games and a couple of their consoles (the handhelds I think). The games are going up by £5, which is a big leap given they're usually £20, but still leaves them relatively cheap

apparently it was a special stream and they cancelled it while it was live. It is mad, given every other donation on SGDQ has Trans rights at the end

you'd hope it'd still be alright given it's a Samsung

I'm not really one for taking screenshots. I know I started the HD thread on here, but even then I don't tend to do it

I'm not a huge fan of subscriptions in a lot of ways, I think Netflix's model is a really bad way of doing it, which is a shame because they used to be good, but now it's all disposable. It's not without it's merit though, and most of us will have something. For gaming you probably need something that combines Game Pass' quantity with PS+s semi-ownership model. A 3rd party offering that could do well. Humble seem to be doing ok, but something larger scale might find an audience

Anyway @radiofloyd, hope that helps

I've no idea on the prices but a laptop might be a better value investment over a desktop at the minute, if you were looking for a pc

game ruining probably not, but there's a couple of games I've played recently, Phonopolis and Crisol, where some of the voice acting takes away from the game. Probably harsh on Phonopolis, but I didn't think they landed what they were going for

I know it's all just generally sad and shit, but I'm really gutted about id. They've been one of my favourite studios since I was a kid

The id stuff is ridiculous. Doom has been successful for Microsoft, and they've been putting stuff out pretty regularly, them, Playground and Obsidian have been been stalwarts for Microsoft the last few years. Surely someone would have bought id if they'd been offered out

Stuff from the Steam sale. Apart from Marvel Cosmic Invasion (and Deer & Boy which wasn't in a sale), they were all really cheap, only a few quid each

That's a good point @Maryokutai. Capcom release multiple games a year, and of them a Resident Evil every year, largely thanks to RE Engine. It had it's flaws but EA have managed to turn Frostbite in to a versatile engine that can look very good while not being too demanding. Microsoft have id Software who make arguably the best engine around, and only they use it. No one else uses the Forza engine to my knowledge. And the mo-cap stuff isn't spread around. They really didn't make the most of what they bought. On the main subject, I'm glad a few studios got out. I wonder if that was in their contract when they were bought? I hope Arkane either find a new owner or get a publisher
