I feel like such a douche for promoting this... but... hi... hello... a game I'm doing the music and sound design for is on Kickstarter and things are going pretty well. Elijah Wood and Patton Oswalt

Serene moment of clarity as I look to get back in to Natural Selection 2, a fully grown German man ranting at me down microphone because I went afk for a few seconds to open a beer. A+ playerbase.

Tempest4000 out today (PC/PS4/XO)

 

txk_by_shaneus2k2-d733p8q.gif

 

 

Might want to tread carefully on PC

 

"Tempest 4000 has clearly been built with consoles in mind, as its menus include zero customization options for PC players. You cannot reassign keyboard or gamepad functions. You cannot enable a d-pad on a controller (though using its arrow-key equivalent on a keyboard feels quite unoptimized, compared to the trackpad-like analog drag of an Xbox One joystick). And you cannot change a single visual option, including resolution, windowed/fullscreen/borderless modes, or v-sync.

 
When pressed on this lack of options, Zorzin points to custom wrappers that PC players can install for the sake of resolutions and button remapping, then adds, "I would never turn v-sync off." This might have something to do with the game's target lock for 60 frames per second, but that brings up another unfortunate issue at launch: there are issues with higher frame rate monitors. Attempts to test Tempest 4000 on a 144Hz monitor, both with variable refresh rate (VRR) enabled and disabled, led to the game clocking at a higher speed, as opposed to a higher frame rate with the same game timings.
 
Thus, everything in the game, from you to your enemies, moves way, way faster on a higher-refresh monitor. Think of this bug as a hidden "ultra-hard" mode, if you want, but I found it darn near unplayable. (In a follow-up email, Zorzin confirmed this issue "should not be too complex to fix.")
 
In better news, at least, when playing the game exactly as intended—on a 60Hz screen, with a gamepad in hand, utilizing 16:9 fullscreen mode—the whole thing runs beautifully, particularly at 4K. Zorzin points out how much work went into the game's "pure vector" typeface, for example, which he says he built because he hated every vector typeface he'd found while working on the current-gen port. This led him to the programmer's mentality of, as he puts it, "do it your own." The game flashes oddball words and phrases in the course of standard gameplay, and their letters all rotate and shatter in native resolution, so the effort is honestly easy to appreciate."
 
 
As for the music, from Minter himself:
 
"Due to space constraints several tunes intended for T2K never made it onto the cartridge. Remixed versions of these "lost" tunes appeared later on the CD soundtrack, but the older (and some would say more energetic-sounding) MOD versions were never used in any subsequent game. Until now! The "lost" MOD versions have been recovered and in T4K users can choose from the entire original MOD or later CD Remix versions of the music."

Splatoon 2 is fun and has a surprisingly decent soundtrack.

so, they have made enter the gungeon easier in a way that is undiscernable to me? mechanics seem the same, yet ive gotten to the forge twice in 24 hours. anyway its so much more fun. i made the mistake of watching a little bit of youtube videos and see the end bosses and stuff by accident, but im looking forward to playing through myself and discovering everything. it seems easily as deep as isaac gets the more you play it.

They tweaked room drops and shop stock to be a bit better, overall its the same shit though, it shouldn't really be that much easier.

Still playing through Alien: Isolation, but also started Super Metroid on the Super Nintendo Mini. It's great so far and holds up a lot better than most of the other games on the Mini.

I have 40 achievements (10%) left to 100% Isaac. they're mostly going to be real pain in the ass type achievements like getting a 5-win streak with all different characters etc.

i have only 1 left, finish the entire game in 20 minutes picking up no bombs or hearts. its the most annoying challange ever, because when you get a room that it is just a bridge through the middle, and then a heart drops on it, your run is over.

I was just trying to do that one right now. does it break the achievement run if you use an activated item to boost health instead of picking up health?

Hot!

 

Anyway, great game even though it kinda overstays its welcome.

The only game to ever use the Kinect properly. The xenomorph and other NPCs would find you if you started talking IRL.

yeah, being the compulsive completionist fucktard i am i had to get all the achievements and to save time beat the fucker on hard without dying, which just meant laming it out by resetting to the latest save point as soon as a death animations started... it was tedious to say the least. but hell, what a beautiful game. read lotsa complains about backtracking but that wasn't a problem in my book whatsoever, i felt the overall pacing was spot on. rly the only complaint whatsoever would be the cartoonishly drawn commercials all around the place, those felt kinda off stylistically.

Enjoying Hyper Light Drifter so far even though it runs like shit on my 2012 Mac Mini. Time to get a separate gaming rig, I guess.
