Malaphax Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 http://uk.gamespot.com/news/batman-arkham-origins-ditches-gfwl-for-steam-on-pc-6413149 http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/14/ultra-street-fighter-4-on-pc-ditches-gfwl-for-steam/ I see this as a growing trend from various publishers. I am extremely glad to see that games for windows live is dying, it's taken long enough and it's a garbage system that needed to be put out of its misery. If you combine this with the news that Microsoft announced the closing of it's games purchases on windows marketplace a little while back (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/15/games-for-windows-live-marketplace-closing-august-22-client-sti/) It looks like this service itself may end up completely dead sooner, rather than later. The only downside is that older titles may end up getting screwed over because the dev's most likely will not spend any extra time or effort in porting over to steamworks. EDIT: Someone posted this today as well: http://i.imgur.com/q513wVZ.jpg I'm not sure which servers they're referrring to, but most people were jumping to the conclusion that GFWL was going to be shut down July 1st 2014. My bet is since I have not seen any new games mentioning using GFWL, that the service is basically just going to be in maintenance mode until it is completely shut down next year.

kuhla Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 http://blog.ubi.com/the-division-pc/ News by Gary Steinman | Communications Manager | on August 20, 2013 | 34 comments | in The Division You asked for it (at least judging from the hundreds of comments on this UbiBlog post when the game was first revealed – and the thousands of comments on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere). And now Ubisoft is delivering. Today, Ubisoft confirmed that along with the previously announced PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, Tom Clancy’s The Division will be available on PC as well. Nice.

kuhla Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Looks fun. Movement skills look quick. Two small things bothered me: 1 ) that map looked pretty small, 2 ) arcadey elements like all the score numbers and the "odds are now 2 to 1" although the story looks like it's pretty serious tone.

Malaphax Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Speaking of The Division: I'm not a fan of second screen applications/games but this is the best implementation I've seen to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Not until they release which tablets this will work on. I assume they'll have to have some semblance of minimum hardware requirements. Some people were wondering if you could do this on a second monitor lol. Multibox that shit like ren multiboxes borderlands 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 This is a free to play demo, the full game launches in a couple months. The art style is very unique. This looks cool enough that I will download the demo and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 http://www.heroesofthestorm.com/en-us/game New Blizzard MOBA that they're developing. Some points I noticed about the game which are different from more traditional mobas: No Items (at least that I could see) Levels are global across the team Towers have ammunition (it regens slowly when not firing) Neutral monster camps can be killed and then revive and join your minions as mercenaries Each map has at least 1 major gimmick: Cursed Hollow allows you to curse the enemy team so that no towers shoot, Blackheart's Bay allows you to pay Blackheart to shoot the enemies base There are multiple "fountains" on the map (one each lane I think) which can provide a full heal, but they have a cooldown of about 1 minute You can bluepill, you can also summon a mount for faster movement out of combat This game looks very very different. I wonder if blizzard is a large enough company to push it's way into the market, especially considering how saturated it is. Here's some gameplay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 kinda sad that blizzard could have licensed dota like a decade ago and rode the cash train like riot but instead they're like the last ones into the moba genre and imo this thing will die pretty fast as the gameplay looks horrible.
