@Zarx - Is Mount & Blade good? I plan to get the first one in the future.


Get Warband (it's basically the first game with a bunch of extra stuff) and yes it's pretty great.

Starbound grapple hook makes you like Spiderman in a Worms game

Comment

Worms has many fine qualities but the best of them’s its ninja ropes. The grapples had you flinging yourself with mad abandon from one side of the level to the next. Yes, most your trips ended with you accidentally throwing your worm into the ocean. Still, fun.

Starbound’s grapple hook fills that same hole in my heart. Except you can fire two at a time like some sort of Worms Spiderman baby.

Not sure I understand this - isn't the whole point of Mantle to skip DX and GL and squeeze more juice out of the card? Also, who's forcing them to support it?

I find that tweet very strange, specially coming from technical director...

Well in theory I could be an extention in OpenGL that bypasses the usual piepline for compatable GPUs I guess. I don't know I assume he knows what he is talking about lol. Maybe it's a BF rivalry thing

I don't know why Activision has to "support" it either. I mean, CoD isn't known for being very taxing.

But of course, if one has it, the other one must have it too. They're like kids.

Indies On SteamOS, Pt 1: ‘Openness,’ Potential Pitfalls

By Nathan Grayson on September 30th, 2013 at 12:00 pm.

You probably haven’t heard, but Valve’s officially going forward with its plan to launch its own Steam-centric OS, living room hardware, and a crazy, touch-pad-based controller to back it all up. I know, right? It’s weird that no one has been talking about it incessantly. But while Valve preaches openness and hackability, it’s downplayed an ugly reality of the situation: smaller developers still face a multitude of struggles in the treacherous green jungles of its ecosystem. SteamOS and various Steam Boxes, however, stand to bring brilliantly inventive indie games to an audience that doesn’t even have a clue that they exist, so I got in touch with developers behind Gone Home, Race The Sun, Eldritch, Mark of the Ninja, Incredipede, Project Eternity, and more for their thoughts on SteamOS, who it’s even for, Valve’s rocky relationship with indies, and what it’ll take for Steam to actually be an “open” platform.

2K just put money into Twitch

Comment

You might not be able to put a name to the company - a Kotick, a Houser, or even a Riccitiello - but 2K are there, just beneath the surface of some of our favourite things. They are the force that funded BioShock; the real Rockstar Games. And now they’re pouring their cash into Twitch, the de facto home page of streamed PC gaming.

Warhammer: Total War mod finally reaches End Times after half a decade's work

Comment

Creative Assembly struck a deal with Games Workshop for “multiple titles” in the swords ‘n’ skaven Warhammer universe last year. But modder Jubal Barca began work on his own adaptation long before that - shortly after the release of the now-sequelised Rome: Total War. And in clear contravention of the modder’s code section 13*, he released the final version of Warhammer: Total War this weekend.
