Apparently Notch canceled Oculus support for Minecraft.  I will say the way FB tries to track everything does creep me out so I would never want any camera attached to them.

Well, I'm sure according to the devs you were doing it wrong. Not their fault you can't appreciate their game's unique style of gameplay. :bouncy:

Super Castlevania 4 had easily the best control scheme in the series. I wonder why more Belmonts don't move like that. It's like everyone else is stuck on the NES control scheme while Simon is the only one we've ever seen kicking ass Super Nintendo style.

Impossible? I scoff at your impossible. I loved Simon's Quest, and it was one of the first games I ever beat. Could I play through it now? Oh, hell no. But Little Spoony Bard had some NES skillz.

Is fable lost chapters an expansion? Or is it like the original core game with new missions in it?

Fable: TLC is basically Fable (base game) + additional expansion campaign afterwards.

EDIT:

After you defeat Jack of Blades in human form, the game actually continues...

The latter. There was no "Lost Chapters" upgrade DLC from what I remember. It's the base game with an expac mixed in.

Update: So one of the devs from the Lazy Guys bundle got back to me.

The Jimmy vs. Zombies dev said that they would implement trading cards, achievements and leaderboards, if it's possible, once they get greenlit.

Yeah - I don't think DLC was a big thing yet, in those old XBox days...

y u never buy the Amazon bundle? Fable 3 and TLC for $9.99 ($4.99 after a coupon), and then later the DLC was sold in another Amazon bundle for $2.99.

 
There was regular Fable for Xbox only. Then the PC version had the Lost Chapters added in because people complained about some loose ends, so they made some Mt Rushmore heads spout a bunch of expository dialog to tie up loose ends plus threw in an extra quest. They also re-released that version for Xbox. I don't think it was DLC though.

As for the PC this is the only version that ever existed.

Totally can't wait for this one to get greenlight:

There's a Cat Simulator on Greenlight too. And it looks like half assed unfinished shit someone threw together in 20 minutes.

It's funny that Goat Simulator isn't even out yet and there's already copycats trying to ride its coattails.

So now we are getting flood of "(insert animal name here) simulators".

BioInf EP2 is performing horrible.

I get 50-70 FPS on high, but it then drops to 5 FPS for seconds for almost half of time. :(

Because the Fable 3 DLC got talked down anytime a sale came up. Price isn't the issue, you understand? If it were available and on sale today I would probably pass. The issue is that I can't buy it any longer. *twitch*

That is one thing that does not need a simulation. The real thing does just fine.

Really? Besides the cosmetic DLC, a lot of people spoke highly of the Understone and Traitor's Keep DLCs, that add a fair bit of more stuff to do. Granted Fable 3 isn't the greatest game ever and a lot of people talk down the whole thing.

Plus... dog suit. /topic

How long in total was all of that Fable 3 DLC?

Any clue?

I don't have any of that.

I'd rather Microsoft drop G4WL and switch it over to Steamworks entirely.

Hell might freeze over 1st, though.

Dunno, I recall someone saying Traitor's Keep was pretty long, but I've only ever played through the base game on 360. Haven't touched any of the DLC on the PC, even though I have it.

 
I know it's rather unCAGly, but the more I look at the Shield, the more I want it...

Did it flop or something? It's on sale straight from NVIDIA for $199 right now.

I really don't see what a Shield provides that any other Android device doesn't. I guess a dedicated gaming tablet but I already have a phone and 3DS for that. I would get a Vita before a Shield personally.

I didn't beat it... Hell, I didn't beat any of the Castlevanias of the 8bit/16bit era but Simon's Quest was my favorite of the era. I understand the hate people have for it I just don't agree with it.

Oculus sold out to Facebook is more like it.
Click to expand...
Either way I'm glad they where able to get out before the inevitable bust happened. Its even better that they dropped it on FB's lap.

V/R gameplay will likely succeed at some point but I suspect the big issues will take decades to solve for home use... The biggest from my personal experience, yes I've actually used VR technology in a 3D world, is the huge disconnect that one experiences when the brain believes the body is moving around but the body is actually stationary.

What other Android device plays new PC releases at 720p and 60FPS? Titanfall, Borderlands 2, Skyrim, etc. In addition to Android games.

Plus it's a handheld gaming device. You could carry around a tablet and a controller, but not only is that a pain, I don't think tablets come with that powerful of graphics cards yet.

Vita is cool and all for the Playstation Store and all the rereleases they do for older games, but I don't trust Sony with buying a handheld device until they start making the next one. They're just going to come out with the newer and better version of the same device you just bought. Smacks of Apple... Not to mention the graphics are obviously going to pale in comparison to a handheld that plays PC games and runs on a powerful NVIDIA GPU.

I thought the Shield just streams those newer games? Not plays them on the tablet itself.

"Remotely access your PC to play your games away from your home."

I don't know how it works. I haven't followed the thing all too well, but it sounds to me like it plays PC games on the handheld device.

EDIT: And here's the list of compatible games so far. http://shield.nvidia.com/pc-game-list/

This would be completely true.. if Sony wasn't cutting corners in manufacturing. The second Vita iteration has a much cheaper screen and a smaller touchscreen (but a longer battery life/slimmer dimensions/microUSB charging slot). And the Vita TV was just.. no.

Hoping to get a Vita 1k on the cheap since most people don't care about the OLED. I wanna hope that Sony will have a better screen for the 3k, but.. I doubt it.

So basically it will play PC games, but only on WiFi?
Click to expand...
Your computer will be running the game, Shield will connect to your PC through your wireless network using their Nvidia Gamestream so you can stream it to the little handheld screen and use Shield as a controller. Shield doesn't run the game at all really, the PC does all the work. You won't be able to play the PC games outside of your network unless you connect to another PC and network that can run those games.

Pretty much why it's not very popular. If you have to stay around your house to play PC games on your Shield, just play on your PC.

That just means it streams the games being played on your PC like that service did that went out of business (Onlive?) so it's not actually playing the games, its just streaming them as you are playing them on your computer but remotely controlling them with the Shield.
