Well that's cool. I hope it is done in a modern engine, with as much true-to-SS atmosphere they can cram in. I never actually played SS but I like the idea of it.

They should mention in that reveal article that the piece of turd screenshit is from the SS remake... 

i enjoyed it more than portal 2. story was more engaging, lasted longer, level design was usually pretty good, but a few levels definitely felt phoned in. overall, well worth the sale price (15 CAD) i paid for it. 

Yeah, I thought it was one of the best games of last year... likely will grab the expansion after christmas.

The game named "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" is free for grab today at "http://www.gog.com/game/giants_citizen_kabuto"!

So, before the offer expires, get it while you can!

Video intro to the game:"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvxDF83apCQ"

It's DRM free, though you do need a GOG account (registration is free) to do the claiming.


Also, these days, at "https://www.origin.com/en-nl/store/free-games/on-the-house", you can get a free copy of "Jade Empire". Same story with regard to account registration, Origin in this case. 

I liked Giants a lot. Good fun game with a fresh style. 

Thanks for the heads up.

I went to GoG to get the freebie and saw they also had the STALKER series on special (at a pretty low price for once), so I got that while I was there. And then added TIE Fighter for $5. Plenty more good stuff on sale there, but those should keep me busy until next year. 

Inspired by classic arcade games and 1990s First Person Shooters. Devil Daggers is a fast-paced shooter that pits you against hordes of demons as you struggle to survive as long as you can. Compete for precious seconds with friends or global leaderboards.

Art and sound are absolutely incredible! However, at the end of the day it's a score attack game with no level design :( 

Kind of like geometry wars, but demonic hellspawn FPS style... 

Ah yes.

"Just like playing* those oldskool** 90s FPS games*** that you loved!"

*disclaimer: gameplay may not necessarily take place in actual environments.

**disclaimer: "oldskool" is taken in this instance to just mean pixellated textures and low-resolution display.

***disclaimer: "game" may actually be mostly procedurally generated. 

Come back when you've got some levels. 

it's a bit of a shame that it's so basic. Such lovely enemy design is really crying out for some good level design.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was another rogue-like style game and the levels are fitted together like ziggurat from preselected rooms. 

Post yours...

(In approx order)

Hopefully next year...
Dishonoured 2
XCom 2
Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Doom 4
a patched version of Mordheim (if it fixes AI, balance, etc)
Total Warhammer
Battlefleet Gothic Armada
Rise Of The Tomb Raider

In the far future...
Cyberpunk 2077
Battletech game
Dreadnoughts (if single player)


(very unhyped for Battleborn, Overwatch, Paragon and anything else like that) 

So hype! 

 

Negke linked me this:

Sounds promising. 

ah shamb if you've got time to research all these upcoming games and remember them (the only one in that list I know anything about is d4) then you may be missing out on some good current games.

for instance, my next play is going to be Ride to Hell: Retribution, scored an impressive 16% on metacritic. screenshots look good so it can't be missed :D

I quite like playing some of the shitty budget action games because they're all short. the longer 20+hr RPG AAA's just take a bit too much out of your everyday life to get through. 

Amount of research varies between zero and not very much.

Part of the reason for posting on here is to get others to research for me ;) 

My most played during the last few years were DX:HR, Dishonored, Tomb Raider 2013, and XCom.

The sequels to those will be what I'm waiting for.

I did play Fallout 3 and New Vegas a lot also. 

I wonder if it has a first person view (other pic tends to suggest 3rd person.) Pics look great and compelling. I've buried a lot of time into Fallout 3 so Shambler's link really interested me.
