Zoraptor Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Valve would have a point about DRM/ EULA being off topic review bombing if it were possible to buy the game in question without the DRM/ EULA. If you have to buy the game with it, it's part of the product and by definition not off topic. It's like having a delivery driver punch you while dropping off your new dish washer- technically, you did get the dish washer delivered, so you 'have' to rate the delivery service 9/10 by Valve's logic and anything else is a negative review bomb irrelevant to the fact you got your new dish washer. Frankly, this policy is their most direct response to Epic Store, and as always with Valve it's the lowest effort possible response I do love their doublespeak used to justify culling DRM/ EULA discussion though. We're not really saying your views on DRM are irrelevant and lead to complaints from publishers that you're negging their game! You, the enlightened DRM/ EULA concerned types are the well informed elites and we take your concerns very seriously! Unfortunately a lot of the unwashed masses in the form of the general steam user will be confused by your enormous intellect, so we must protect them from confusion by muting your views because we're just so nice that way!

Press this on any web browser, and gameplay will begin "in as quick as five seconds... with no download, no patch, no update, and no install." Owning things even less. I'm still not convinced that they really solved the input lag issue. Sure when you have a connection that can give you a theoretical 20 to 30ms round trip from the button press to the video reaction on screen you're not going to feel much difference in most games - except for high precision platforming and really fast shooters. But people connected through ASDL or LTE? Eh. Sure you have the bandwidth to stream the video, but the latency on these services is more often than not dreadful. And of course there's the huge issue of ownership/licensing/etc. Proponents of game streaming usually come up with Netflix as a defense here but that's much different. Outside of a few films you really enjoy who's watching and rewatching films all the time? Matrix and In Bruges was gone from our local Netflix library due to licensing issues for a wile. Now they're back. I missed both films a total of zero times. Not having a game to replay when I feel like it? Much, much different. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Zoraptor Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I wonder if Google has solved cold fusion along with lag. Can't wait to let Uncle Googie not monitor my gaming as well as search, email, browsing, cloud service, phone, images, apps etc. Amazon's forthcoming game service will probably be more successful, this smells like a G+ more than Android/ Gmail/ Google Search. Guess it's good news for AMD though.

Agiel Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Given how famously poor broadband is in Australia I have to wonder if Stadia is going to be a wash there. Hell, I can imagine bandwidth caps being a real damper on its viability in the US. 2 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
LadyCrimson Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) I wonder if I'll find newer-graphic System Shock as unbearably suspenseful as the old-graphic System Shock. I mean, in that teaser I actually laughed when the digital face come up. Not even creepy. The rest looks ok/typical tho. Edit: for some reason I find "uber awesome" 3d graphics not scary. Rougher graphics with awesome soundtrack can still creep me out tho. I'm not sure why. Uncanny valley related, or not leaving enough to imagination, or ....

I'm not sure why. Uncanny valley related, or not leaving enough to imagination, or ....The video I posted is from the original System Shock remake which Nightdive Studios are working on. They recieved a huge backlash from the fans a while ago for switching to UE4 because it made the game look 'clean'. They promised to fix it and the video I have posted is the result of their recent work. It looks great. The System Shock 3 teaser looks funny though, I gotta agree, but it is still a bit early to judge.

Gfted1 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I wonder if any company will really ever recoup the "lost sales" of people waiting a year to buy their product. By then it can be forgotten about or purchased at a steep discount, which would offset the "second wave" of buyers? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
