Super bummed that a Chinese holding company managed to buy out the devs behind Rising Thunder and then canceling it. That was the one fighting game that was made exclusively for PC with M+K in mind and a company that gives no fucks about the game comes in and has it cancelled.

Having some fun with Stardew Valley and darting back sometime soon to finish off Dying Light's DLC and put the game to rest so I can move onto Witcher 3.

Beacon has my interest for sure but DOOM's MP beta doesn't, I'm getting too old to play hardcore MP PVP shooters these days, I'm not up to speed with them with my hands and I'd get stressed too easily after constantly dying.

DSO gaming is up for me.

What date does the most recent news have? Sometimes it works, but it's the cache with the news from March, 3rd.

Latest article for me: http://www.dsogaming.com/screenshot-news/tom-clancys-the-division-ultra-versus-low-comparison-screenshots/

March 9th.

^Nope, I can't see it.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have more luck.

Finished one of Dying Light's endings, it was a bit weird and also a bit of a predictable letdown. I might replay the last segment for the other ending but I'm pretty sure I know how that ending is going to go as well.

At least I've finished it in general which means I can give Stardew Valley more attention.

Any of you guys bothering to play New York bullet sponge simulator yet?.

Yup, just like learning about Ray Tomlinson's involvement with the @ (even though I didn't mention it before).
May he RIP.

And thanks for the shout out to my thread

wow, I was not aware Oceanhorn was also on PC... hmmmm...

Shame you missed the Dark Souls deal!

If there's a thread about a piece of news, I always try to add the link and mention who has made it. I give credit where it's due.

A nice talk from Tek Syndicate on MS with PC gaming from the past to the present.

Time for the news. I still have problems accessing DSOGaming, so PS Gamer will again be the main source of news.

BANDAI NAMCO SUPPORT ON DARK SOULS III PC: “THE PLAN IS TO KEEP THE FRAMERATE LOCKED AT 30FPS”

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/bandai-namco-support-on-dark-souls-iii-pc-the-plan-is-to-keep-the-framerate-locked-at-30fps/

Dark Souls III is a game that a lot of PC gamers are looking forward to. However, it appears that Bandai Namco plans to lock its framerate at 30fps. While this is not confirmed yet, Bandai Namco’s support claimed that the current plan is to lock the framerate on the PC version.

>>Bad, Bamco, bad! Luckily it won't take long for a mod that unlocks the framerate.

***UPDATE*** Don't worry guys, it's false . 

PRISON ARCHITECT'S HIDDEN 3D MODE HAS BEEN IN THE GAME FOR FIVE MONTHS

http://www.pcgamer.com/prison-architects-hidden-3d-mode-has-been-in-the-game-for-five-months/

Prison Architect left Early Access back in October of last year, but that hasn't stopped Introversion Software from continuing to deliver monthly content updates to the game. And recently, a rather significant new feature has been discovered that was never in the patch notes; a hidden button that renders out your prison and all of its denizens in 3D, allowing you to zoom in and get a rather unique look at what's always been a flat, top-down game.

>> Here's the video proving it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDsL-D344BU That's a good reason to play some more.

HUTT CONTRACTS ARE COMING TO STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT

http://www.pcgamer.com/hutt-contracts-are-coming-to-star-wars-battlefront/

A free update to Star Wars Battlefront went live yesterday, adding a new Survivors of Endor multiplayer map that supports the Walker Assault, Supremacy, and Turning Point modes, and a new Survival Mission on Tattoine that can be played either solo or cooperatively. Speaking of Solo, it also promises the upcoming arrival of Hutt Contracts, which means you'll soon be able to spend some quality time with everyone's favorite giant space slug.

ASHES OF THE SINGULARITY RELEASE DATE REVEALED IN NEW TRAILER

http://www.pcgamer.com/ashes-of-the-singularity-release-date-revealed-in-new-trailer/

The big hook in Stardock's upcoming Ashes of the Singularity is that it can simulate and display battles involving literally thousands of units on the screen at a single time. It does this through DirectX 12 support, a native 64-bit game engine, and other such techno-magery that mostly goes over my head; the important thing, as the good folks at Maximum PC explain, is that if you've got the rig for it, it (mostly) works. Of course, they're interested in the technology, whereas around these parts, the game is the thing. Which is why you heard it here first: Ashes of the Singularity will go into full launch on March 31.

>>This is the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0mK7se3fu0. And Quake, you should have posted this yesterday.

THUMPER, THE "RHYTHM VIOLENCE GAME," WILL BE OUT LATER THIS YEAR

http://www.pcgamer.com/thumper-the-rhythm-violence-game-will-be-out-later-this-year/

We first heard about the “rhythm violence” game Thumper in late 2013, when Phil described it as “inside a Venn diagram containing WipEout, Audiosurf and Dyad,” and said it was slated for launch in 2014. In 2015, he expressed continuing interest in the game, but updated the scheduled release date to “when it's finished.” And in 2016, Phil has been promoted and so I'm here to tell you that the game is in fact getting closer to launch, and is now set to come out later this year.

ORI AND THE BLIND FOREST DEFINITIVE EDITION DELAYED, BUT ONLY ON THE PC

http://www.pcgamer.com/ori-and-the-blind-forest-definitive-edition-delayed-but-only-on-the-pc/

Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition, a re-release of the gorgeous and thoroughly-good platformer that adds “new areas, difficulty options, and gameplay upgrades,” was originally supposed to be out last fall. Developer Moon Studios announced in December, well after that season had come and gone, that the update had been delayed to the spring of this year, which it recently nailed down to March 11. Just two days ahead of that date, it's been delayed again, but only on the PC. The Xbox One version will go out as scheduled.

>>It's good to know the priorities of certain studios/devs.

MIRAGE: ARCANE WARFARE WILL BE OUT THIS YEAR, BETA EXPECTED BY SUMMER

http://www.pcgamer.com/mirage-arcane-warfare-will-be-out-this-year-beta-expected-by-summer/

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare developer Torn Banner Studios revealed last week that its next game is a magical murder sim called Mirage: Arcane Warfare. The announcement came with a very brief teaser and a website with a countdown that hit zero today and went properly live, revealing an FAQ and a launch window of sometime this year.

DEAD ISLAND 2 HAS A DEVELOPER AGAIN: SUMO DIGITAL

http://www.pcgamer.com/dead-island-2-has-a-developer-again-sumo-digital/

Arise, battered and discarded sequel; your service is required once more. After Yager's deal to develop Dead Island 2 collapsed in mysterious circumstances last year—causing the dissolution of the Yager Productions division—the future of the Dead Island franchise beyond misjudged MOBAs and HD remakes has been in limbo. Now it has a developer once more: the UK's Sumo Digital.

GEARS OF WAR 4 'POSSIBLY' COMING TO PC

http://www.pcgamer.com/gears-of-war-4-possibly-coming-to-pc/

Judging by our recent chat with Phil Spencer, if there's an Xbox exclusive that would make sense on PC, it may well turn up on PC, for better or worse. Gears of War 4 is the latest game to may-well-be-turning-up on PC, going on a video interview by Game Informer with The Coalition studio head, Rod Fergusson.

>>Yeah, it can come to PC... and I can also win the lottery, but I wouldn't bet on it.

CANADIAN MYSTERY KÔNA DRIFTS INTO EARLY ACCESS TODAY

http://www.pcgamer.com/canadian-mystery-kona-drifts-into-early-access-today/

Canada is woefully underrepresented in games, which is strange, considering all that wilderness is the perfect setting for strange things to happen. The Long Dark is one of the standouts, leveraging all that isolation and natural beauty to give us a top-notch survival sandbox as it works on its narrative. Arriving in Early Access today, Kôna might beat it to the punch.

>>This is the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TetmQa5kDDc

Good news for those of you with a laptop but not a gaming computer.

AMD XConnect wants to make external GPUs easier to use

http://arstechnica.co.uk/gaming/2016/03/amd-xconnect-external-gpu/

AMD has introduced XConnect, a form of driver-level support for external graphics cards, as part of its latest Radeon 16.3 driver. XConnect allows users to add and remove a Thunderbolt 3 external graphics device (eGFX) such as the Razer Core, without needing to restart the PC, as well as switch between discrete and integrated graphics on-the-fly.
