Thanks for your impressions, shakarak!

Too bad none of the two devices work as well as it should, specially the controller (the Steam Link is excusable because I still haven't found a Wifi network that works as well as it should).

In regards to the controller, I've always wondered why controllers like this one:

http://gizmodo.com/272899/splitfish-fragfx-ps3-controller-reviewed-verdict-mouse-on-a-console-done-right

never had success . I understand their to fail in consoles due to the lack of mouse support, but why not use them on PC? To me they look like as the best of both worlds.

Monday has arrived, and with it a new round of news. But I must warn you that this may be the last one I make. I'm having a weird issue with the site that is giving me a lot of troubles not only to post anything, but also to read the posts. I hope it gets sorted soon.

COBALT delayed until February 2016

http://www.pcgamer.com/cobalt-delayed-until-february-2016/

Hey, remember when we said that Cobalt was coming "in October". Well, Cobalt is not coming in October. It's coming next February instead, publisher Mojang has just announced. They revealed the delay with the aid of a cute trailer—the world's first 'delay trailer'?—which you can see below.

 

OVERWATCH closed beta begins tomorrow - in Europe too

http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-closed-beta-begins-tomorrow-in-europe-too/

You've remembered to sign up for that Overwatch closed beta that begins tomorrow, right? Oh—maybe you should get on that. It's an "old school" beta of the exciting competitive FPS, featuring a Spectator mode and in-built voice chat—and that's about all we know for the time being. The beta was scheduled to go live only for the Americas on the 27th, but Blizzard has managed to complete its setup/testing of the European beta servers faster than expected, and so us Europe types can now join in on the same date. Huzzah! Oh but Asian regions will still have to wait.

 

JUST CAUSE 3 has a story apparently, detailed in new trailer

http://www.pcgamer.com/just-cause-3-has-a-story-apparently-detailed-in-new-trailer/

Avalanche's latest Just Cause 3 trailer—not the launch trailer, you're making that, remember—is all about the game's story, which everyone is totally interested in because uhhhh. Judging by the following video, the voice acting has improved a bit, making me worry that the campy fun of "BOLO SANTOSI" might be lost. Fingers crossed that it hasn't. Also, and more importantly, Rico Ridriguez now has a completely different face. What's that about?

 

DAY OF THE TENTACLE Remastered screenshots revealed

http://www.pcgamer.com/day-of-the-tentacle-remastered-screenshots-revealed/

Hey, remember that time when Double Fine announced an exciting-sounding Day of the Tentacle remaster? No? It was a while ago I suppose, but we can be assured of the game's continued existence with a bunch of new screenshots—the first, in fact—which have just been revealed by the erstwhile point 'n' click developer. As you can see, the original version's sharp, blocky sprites have been redrawn in a much higher resolution that will hopefully look OK in motion. (I say 'hopefully' because we haven't seen any video of the remaster yet.)

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Hey guys, remember that story of DX 12 allowing the use of mixed graphic cards to run games? Well, the folks at Anandtech have taken Ashes of the Singularity and a few cards and tried it

http://anandtech.com/show/9740/directx-12-geforce-plus-radeon-mgpu-preview

The summary: it works in the demo, but the future of it will depend on the developers because it's them who will have to implement it.

Around the Network

Today we have one big news and many smaller ones:

 

STREET FIGHTER V Is Coming On February 16th

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/street-fighter-v-is-coming-on-february-16th/

It appears that Eurogamer has spoiled Capcom’s big surprise for the Paris Games Week event. As it was reported, Street Fighter V will be coming to the PC and PS4 on February 16th. Although Eurogamer acted fast, you can find a cached page of the news here.

 

FALLOUT 4 will be preloadable

http://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-4-will-be-preloadable/

Bethesda Softworks confirmed today that Fallout 4 will be preloadable ahead of its release on November 10, meaning you'll be able to play the game the moment it goes live (or at least close to it) rather than having to wait for the whole thing to download first.

 

GOG adds D&D: Ravenloft, Dark Sun and Krynn

http://www.pcgamer.com/gog-adds-dd-ravenloft-dark-sun-and-krynn/

Just when you thought GOG.com had plundered every last attic and charity shop in its search for (sometimes) good old games, it discover yet more obscure RPGs with lovely pixel art, overwhelming interfaces, and great character portraits (I mean, just look at that moustache dude up there). GOG's latest acquisitions are three Dungeons & Dragons series: Ravenloft, Krynn, and Dark Sun. Have you heard of any of those?

 

MINECRAFT: STORY MODE EPISODE 2 out today

http://www.pcgamer.com/minecraft-story-mode-episode-2-out-today-in-us-friday-in-europe/

Surprise! Minecraft: Story Mode's second episode is out today, a mere two weeks after the first one. Considering that Telltale's episodic games are usually completed over a matter of months, that's quite some feat. The release of the second episode, 'Assembly Required', coincides with the US launch of the physical 'Season Pass' version, which obviously comprises only two episodes at the moment. Despite being on a disc. Which is very weird.

 

PIXELJUNK SHOOTER ULTIMATE out, brings sequel to PC for the first time

http://www.pcgamer.com/pixeljunk-shooter-ultimate-out-brings-sequel-to-pc-for-the-first-time/

The PixelJunk series is a sorta-related bunch of shootery, rhythmy, racingy games, mashing genres together like pixel minestrone. The first PixelJunk Shooter (it's a twin-stick shooter, but also an exploration game) came to the PC back in 2013, while its sequel remained in PlayStation land until last week.

 

And then there are several news of game updates:

I played both those Ravenloft games (Stone Prophet especially) a lot when I was younger.  I never did finish them though.  I might have to grab this pack.

Now you'll have a second chance to finish them . And they'll run on modern systems and without any kind of DRM, as usual in GOG.

Well I just tried getting into Overwatch's beta but it appears Battle.net EU is down in terms of both client and servers.

Yeah, GOG is pretty amazing that way.
