    Random video game news... Games are Randomly News Worthy

    What makes this game significant, besides the fact that it's a follow up to a generally well liked game, is that AFAIK it's the first of the Unity Exodus games, at least of note. What I mean by Unity Exodus is games that were originally going to use Unity but switched engines because of the whole debacle where they were going to retroactively start charging developers (more) money where they hadn't before. I believe the ***holes that made that call at Unity wound up walking it back, but not before the engine's reputation had been thoroughly dragged through the mud. Plus, if they tried that once what's to stop them from trying that again? Anyway, the devs of Slay the Spire 2 wound up switching to the free and open source Godot engine despite the fact that the game was already in active development using Unity and they stuck to that even when Unity walked back their policy change. I'll be curious to see a high-ish profile game using Godot hit the market and how it performs. Could Godot become effectively the replacement for Unity for indie devs?

    I assume the delay from that is the reason they felt like they needed to announce a beta 1 year in advance.

    To all Dragon's Dogma 2 players

    We would like to update you on the status of the following items, about which we have received numerous comments from the community. To all those looking forward to this game, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

    ■Crashes and bug fixes
    We are investigating/fixing critical problems such as crashes and freezing.
    We will be addressing crashes and bug fixes starting from those with the highest priority in patches in the near future.

    ■The option of starting a new game
    We are looking at adding a feature to the Steam version of the game that will allow players that are already playing to restart the game. We will announce more details as soon as we can.

    ■Paid DLC
    All the items listed below can be obtained in-game or as paid DLC items.
    Art of Metamorphosis - Character Editor
    Ambivalent Rift Incense - Change Pawn Inclinations
    Portcrystal - Warp Location Marker
    Wakestone - Restore the dead to life!
    500 Rift Crystals / 1500 Rift Crystals / 2500 Rift Crystals - Points to Spend Beyond the Rift
    Makeshift Gaol Key - Escape from gaol!
    Harpysnare Smoke Beacons - Harpy Lure Item

    ■Regarding Frame Rate
    A large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and calculating the impact of their physical presence in various areas. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate. We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future.

    While I wouldn't have minded some new additional content for BG3 before saying goodbye, ultimately I think it's the right decision for Larian to do their own thing instead of hitching their wagon to the D&D licence. I'm steadfast in my opinion that BG3 is good in spite of being a D&D game, not because of it.

    Does mean someone else will make D&D games. With the success, I'm sure the rights holders won't let it sleep.

    I think Obsidian was one of the studios who tried to get BG3.

    Not really news, but also not playing ... but see, I went to Steam site, saw "New and trending" listing, and did a time-travel feeling double-take. They are the originals (essentially same as GoG's dosboxed I think), no remake/remaster etc.


    It does makes me idly wonder if EA is considering a PC sequel or remaster for the series (that mobile game doesn't exit, don't even mention it 😛 ), with putting it on Steam as an interest meter check (GoG has had it for ages, I see no reason to rebuy it yet again). Frankly I'm not sure I'd want EA to do so, I'm sure it would be horrid. Nice of them to put it the two originals for those that really want to stick with Steam I guess, tho.

    In the early days of their launcher, Origin, they kept releasing old games for free on it now and then. So I guess this is just a continuity of that.
