Silent Hills exists again? I thought it was cancelled and Konami was suffering a slow death.

Rooster Teeth also reports Konami is trying to get out of the console game business as soon as possible, so it's selling off properties that can't easily be converted to mobile experiences.

Yeah...

Well, they do love their gambling apps

I'm leaning towards PC gaming now too. I guess I officially crossed over when I purchased The Witcher 3 on PC instead of my PS4. I'll keep my PS4 for exclusive titles like Uncharted 4, which I refuse to miss out on. But if it's coming out for PC, chances are I'll get it on PC. I wanna get my money's worth out of my GTX 970 after all. And installing games on my SSD are a huge plus for loading times. Now I just have to buy a controller for my PC and I'm set.

Nah that's the thing, you're right RE some of the digital stuff. PS3 games you purchased on PSN won't work. I just googled it.

 

But lots of my ps1 games I bought on PSN work on the ps4. =)

 

It doesn't seem like it should be difficult to have software emulation built in to make these consoles backwards compatible....

 

that said, all my pc games I bought 12 years ago work on my new computer ;)

Which PS1 games exactly? No PS3/PS2/PS1 game is compatible on the PS4, unless you're talking about cross-buy versions ala PS4/PS3/Vita.

maybe he's just got stronger wrists for propping the heavy hardback book up when he's reading in bed. heh, which would conversely suggest that we are limpwristed (as well as frugal(although i haven't read a book in decades, i was tempted by some review of a sci-fi space opera that i was reading the other day)).

this is probably a really dumb question but I can't learn gestures in Dark Souls 2 (Scholar of the First Sin). do you have to level up a stat or something to use new ones? I've got all the basic ones but none of the ones I've "learnt" from various characters shows up in the menu after I 'learn' them.

Shadowrun: Dragonfall is ace, as is Death Skid Marks, even if ludicrously hard (the bosses kill you in one shot!)

I generally prop the book on my penis, my two hands and phallus combined to form an organic tripod for the book to rest on. It definitely helps when rereading the Twilight quartet (luxruiously red leatherbound volumes) for the tenth time.

This is perhaps a stupid answer but have you tried to change the default gestures? I haven't played DS2 in a year or more so I can't remember exactly, but I think there's only a few available (let's say, 7) at one time, and so in order to use a new gesture you have to go to one of the default ones and press some button that should allow you to 'change' or 'switch' the gesture to a different gesture.

anyone playing FF XIV? :)

i tried the demo for ps4. didn't do anything for me. played it for maybe 3 days.

just beat my sotn playthrough mimicing autos strat for getting cris and bulldozing castle 2. probably took me closer to 9 hours because i couldn't remember which bosses had dracula's body parts and basically ended up clearing all of castle 2 minus the mine and catacombs.

back to wipeout

i've started it again. last time i've played it was like half year ago. i don't how to play it anymore. :D

For anyone who plays PC games, I can totally recommend the mod Brutal Doom - you can download the .wad files of all the old classic DOS shooters and with Brutal Doom running I'm working my way through final doom. Fun times..great games.

Doom gives me motion sickness. The corpses don't...just moving through those closed tunnels.

Yeah, it's actually quite spooky and difficult at times.

Claustrophobic environment + weird 3D graphics = obligatory headaches (I never finished Doom 2 because I was stuck in a kind of labyrinthic level and it really gave me strong migraines !).

It really works! I had a short time because in the 1st castle I got really lucky on some gear drops and was pretty OP dmg & def by the time I reached castle 2. My dmg on the cris was about 95x3, which combined with fast button mashing is like 10 mil.

There are dozens of Brutal Doom fans on this board. We've all been on that tip pretty heavily for the past few years. New version drops in a few days!

Haha great. Yeah I'm not surprised it's popular...the chain gun is so ridiculously fun in a closed hall with loads of men.....brains slowly slopping onto the ground.

I love the fact you don't need a super computer to play it either. I respect that.

Will be all over the new version when it comes out.

Yeah, I'm sure multiple people would agree Brutal Doom is significantly more fun than the majority of FPS that have come out in recent years.

Silent Hills rumored to be wanted by MS as an Xbone exclusive.

It better fucking not go Xbone exclusive, that'll be like a double kick in the nuts after it getting canned the first time... I'm still angry about Konami canceling it.

WATTAM the game got a gameplay video:

seems about right.

/banal, limited in scope, repetitive, cute soundtrack
