    They still get 30% of every game sold on top of all the money they make from the Marketplace, doubt their game output rate is going to change anytime soon. ;)

    They will still make a fortune from the market place from people selling items and cards.

    New mini NES coming out with some solid games. $60 in the states, probably the same price over here in €. I wonder how it will look on the 50'

    Not great, unless they've added some filter options for scanlines and a 4:3 aspect ratio etc. But the folks who'll buy it don't care about that anyway. :D

    Ah stop, I'm baffled by the retro crowd going gaga over it (everyone else fair enough, nice way to relive some childhood classics). Cidey is probably gutted there's no mention of an SD card. :P

    It'll sell like hot cakes that's for sure. :)

    This is pretty sad, Rimworld developers have had to stop including Steam keys with their DRM free copies due to fraud, and that they're being hit with fees of up to $15 from chargebacks.

    That mini NES is completely baffling to me and the excitement around it, its just cheap crap limited to a few games running an emulator in a box, set yourself up with a Rasberry Pi running Retropi under the tv for the same money and have something thats actually useful, or just get a NES.

    It already did! http://store.steampowered.com/app/367500

    Was playing it today. Fan since it came out. The high framerate (no limit!) makes it so much better.

    It's probably not something I'd be interested in myself, but I'm always happy to hear of more good PC ports.

    Now, fingers crossed for Nioh. :)

    First Darksiders game getting a remaster http://wccftech.com/darksiders-remaster-announced-nordic-games/

    I didn't care for the second one at all though I'd happily replay the first one. I'd rather they just did a new one.

    Remasters seem never ending now a days. Dead Rising ones are due out later in the year too.

    1. Previous generation of consoles lasted a long time.
    2. No one is forcing you to buy remakes.

    Pretty **** attitude Kiki, the more big remasters we get the less big new releases we get.

    I for one can pretty much play Dark Souls indefinitely, I'd still prefer new Dark Souls games over a graphical overhaul for it though, graphics haven't come on enough in the last 6-8 years to warrant so many remasters. It's an obvious cash cow for companies, who needs to try something new when you can rerelease a 6 year old game you know will sell well again.

    Fair enough with 6th Generation games, but from 7th Gen I don't like the crazy amount of remasters we're getting, I agree with the sentiment that I'd prefer a new Darksiders, the first one isn't even bad looking.

    Regardless, not the thread for this debate.

    Not a big fan of remasters myself but would love a Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver reboot!

    Remasters =/= Reboot

    DMC HD Collection is very different than DmC.

    Plus the remaster of DMC4 included a whole bunch of new stuff (3 new playable characters including fan favourite Vergil).

    I don't have an issue with remasters in general, but I much prefer when they add sh*t to it to make people want to buy it and play it again rather than just a bump in graphics.

    That was a special edition, not remaster. DMC3 had a special edition on PS2 which the original version was also released on. And 3 new characters was the main thing DMC4:SE added. The rest was just untoggleable motion blur without .exe HEX edits, 2 cutscenes, handful of costumes (some as DLC). The other things like 60fps they advertised were in the original 7th gen release and PC release (up to 144fps). The original also performed better and looks close to identical. LDK mode was also in the original PC release which they falsly advertised as a new feature for SE.

    Apparently Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 will be released tomorrow on PS4, XBox One and, for the first time for UA2, PC. They're being revamped for the new systems. It kind of came out of nowhere, but does offer the promise of an UA3. I thought Marvel Heroes was great fun, but a bit basic. And most importantly, it just wasn't the Ultimate Alliance sequel I'd hoped for. So at least this will keep the dream alive, and maybe even be modable!

    Special edition - Remaster. Same thing different name. It was still a re-release of a 7-8 year old game. But that's what I'm saying, I don't mind that when they add something new to it, something to make me want to play it again.
