Oh. Well. Huh.

That was fast, and will be fast, with an Episode 1 date in September. I was kinda expecting to get a "coming soon" splash after the credits roll on Captain Spirit, but here we are with the first teaser and a date a little early.

Re: [Game News] + Upcoming + General Games Chat
Captain Spirit is up, as is the Steam page for Life is Strange 2. The 5-part season is a $40 USD preorder with bonuses. For now the Steam page is totally devoid of story or character details, but I'm pretty sure we can expect all that to be added when DONTNOD starts actually showing the game in August.

Oh, apparently the sequel to To The Moon is out? One of my YT LPers is playing it.

Played through Captain Spirit. I went with the best boy options, but man it seems you could play it dark.

Re: [Game News] + Upcoming + General Games Chat
I've definitely seen heds on some sites along the lines of "Captain Spirit is a 2-hour gut punch." I wonder how dark it really gets, being a one-shot/lead-in...
I'm gonna jump in cold on-stream around my usual bad time tonight/tomorrow morning so look forward to that maybe! Assuming I manage to sleep first. Ffff.

Having now gone dark, best boy mode definitely fits the narrative better. Highly Recommended.

Should I play Before the Storm first? I've got both downloading to my PS4 right now.

Re: [Game News] + Upcoming + General Games Chat
I would play BtS first, mostly because it closes out the Chloe/Max/Rachel content and keeps that all together. Captain Spirit is a prequel to the second season so playing that afterwards makes more sense because it leaves you hungry for more and helps you shift to thinking about who the new characters will be.

That's about as random a cameo as you can get.

Re: [Game News] + Upcoming + General Games Chat
Yesterday's leak of Shenmue 1 & 2's release date is now confirmed. August 21st, $30, all platforms sans Switch.
https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/3/175306 ... 4-xbox-one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE_xPfHP0dY
New features include Japanese audio in all regions, new "modern" control schemes, HD resolution stuff with added postprocessing effects, save anywhere, new UI, cheevos, etc.
Maybe I'll get it on sale someday. That $30 will much more likely go towards Yakuza Kiwami's PC port whenever that hits.

Re: [Game News] + Upcoming + General Games Chat
Yeah. 30 is a little steep for me too. I'd pay that (and above) for a Kiwami-style remake but (as discussed on the previous Yakuza 0 stream), Shenmue I especially has problems.
(also I don't think anything in Shenmue I & II's actual plot is terribly compelling.)

Monster Hunter World will get its Steam version on August 9th for $60 USD which is more than I feel like spending.

Re: [Game News] + General Gamesy Chatter
Nathan Fillion made an Uncharted fan film.

Naughty Dog and Sony were not involved so this shouldn't be taken as any kind of teaser-y indication of an official film.

To me it's still amazing that today's technology can make an amateur/fan film look so good.

Re: [Game News] + General Gamesy Chatter
Nathan Fillion is great, and the camera work on that shooting sequence was very well done, felt like gameplay.

Re: [Game News] + General Gamesy Chatter
I'm sorry. I just see Nathan Fillion. He doesn't sell the role for me.
Always good to see Ernie Reyes Jr, though.
Edit: Actually, Fillion is the most accurately cast of the three. That shooting section was pretty cool, but the whole video was rather "paint by numbers". Still, if it gets Sony off their butts...

They nailed the cutscene-to-gameplay camera transition in particular.Falcon Critical wrote: ↑Tue Jul 17, 2018 12:30 pmNathan Fillion is great, and the camera work on that shooting sequence was very well done, felt like gameplay.
Oh, the Sonic Mania Plus DLC came out, and with it a physical edition for retail, which has a really sweet Genesis/Mega Drive reversible cover.

Putting aside the smartphone part for a second (ugh, whatever) that's totes Myau in the logo, which is maybe just as meaningless as the PSO logo having three planets in it, but... hey, cool, they remembered my main man Myau, that's neat.
Part of my brain sees the dude (?) in the horned helmet and wants to make a Lassic connection but nah that's probably more of a stretch.

Looks like a Final Fantasy judge. Hopefully the game doesn't suck.

Re: [Game News] + General Gamesy Chatter
A full mask instead of a half mask is totally a Judge look, especially with that style of horns, yeah. But if he's wearing a cape and holding a staff in his left hand...
Basically what I'm thinkin' is I'd be totally down with a mobile remake of PS1, it'd probably be easier to adapt to that format than the others, and Lassic's look is so stock 1980s he could totally use a makeover anyway.
So it'll suck when this game turns out to be something totally different and unrelated.
e: ...that emblem on his chest is kinda in the shape of his staff, keep watching the skies, follow the meseta
