Microsoft Disables Safedisc DRM On Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, & Windows 8/8.1

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/microsoft-disables-safedisc-drm-on-windows-vista-sp2-windows-7-sp1-windows-88-1/

Last month, we informed you about a Windows 10 update that disabled Safedisc DRM on Microsoft’s latest operating system. Well, it appears that Microsoft has applied this security update on all its other operating systems as well. This basically means that the Safedisc DRM is disabled on Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, thus rendering a number of games unplayable.

Thankfully, Microsoft has provided a workaround. Those interested in running such games will have to either temporarily turn on the service for the secdrv.sys driver by running certain commands, or by editing the registry.

Cities: Skylines leads this year's list of Unity award winners

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/254426/Cities_Skylines_leads_this_years_list_of_Unity_award_winners.php

Colossal Order, Squad, and Amplitude Studios were among the developers recognized by Unity this week with awards handed during the company's Unite 2015 conference in Boston. The Unity Awards are a nice nod to developers who are seen to use Unity's toolset in interesting or exemplary ways, and this year was especially notable because Unity began awarding a new "Best VR Experience" accolade.

Each year the awards are voted on by both Unity representatives and Unity developers based on a handful of nominations across what is now nine categories of honors, with the "Golden Cube" going to the "best overall" project made with Unity in the past year.

For your convenenience, the full list of this year's winners is reprinted below:

• 2015 Unity Award winners Golden Cube - Cities: Skylines by Colossal Order
• Best 3D Visual Experience - Endless Legend by Amplitude Studios
• Best 2D Visual Experience - Ori and the Blind Forest by Moon Studios
• Best Gameplay - Kerbal Space Program by Squad
• Best VizSim Project - Parachute Training Simulator by Pennant PLC
• Best Non-game Project - UEFA Champions League Nissan Orchestra by Wasd Studio
• Best VR Experience - Tilt Brush by Google
• Asset Store Award - Chronos - Time Control by Ludiq
• Best Student Project - Anarcute by Anarteam

Curious developers may also appreciate Cities: Skylines designer Karoliina Korppoo's recent postmortem of the game, in which she describes how and why Colossal Order used Unity to create its award-winning game rather than build its own engine

If you go to Unity's award site: https://unity3d.com/awards/2015/winners,  you can check videos of the winners. That Parachute Training Simulator only needs a fan to make it mind blowing.

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/grand-theft-auto-v-has-sold-3-million-copies-on-steam/

Grand Theft Auto V was a pleasant surprise when it was released. Although the PC version was delayed, Rockstar managed to offer a really polished and optimized game. And according to SteamSpy’s data, the game has managed to hit 3 million sales on Valve’s digital platform.

ADR1FT – SPACE SURVIVAL UNREAL ENGINE 4-POWERED GAME – COMING TO THE PC IN Q1 2016

ADR1FT’s story follows an astronaut, who floats through the wreckage of a destroyed space station with no memory of the incident.

“Over the course of the game, players find clues that piece together the events of the incident, and attempt to repair the escape vehicle to return home.”

The video is a couple of days old (... ok, it's almost a week old) but given that it shows some tidbits of game footage, why not post it?

RED DEAD REDEMPTION LEAD MULTIPLAYER DESIGNER – THERE WAS NEVER AN INTENTION TO HAVE RDR PC

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/red-dead-redemption-lead-multiplayer-designer-there-was-never-intention-to-have-a-rdr-pc-version/

It’s no secret that a lot of PC gamers wished for a PC version of Red Dead Redemption. And while Rockstar never really commented on this, Red Dead Redemption’s Lead Multiplayer Designer, Kris Roberts, admitted that there was never an intention to have a Read Dead Redemption PC version.

“I don’t think there was ever an intention to have a PC version of Red Dead Redemption. I was actually really shocked that they did a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. Obviously in development, we wre all PC based and had it running for one or two clients for the entire development. But as far as the licensing for the consoles and stuff, it was pretty much always going to be an X360 and PS3 title… we never really seriously talked about optimizing it for PC.”
