Final Fantasy XIII announced for PC release as a trilogy (XIII-2 and Lightning Returns). The base game (XIII) is coming to Steam next month, apparently for $16 ($14.39 currently for the pre-order)

http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/09/18/fi...ng-next-month/

As much as I disliked XIII, it's kind of neat to have a modern, non-MMO Final Fantasy on PC. Also FF IV redux was released on Steam earlier htis week.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

I never finished FF13 on 360. I'd almost be tempted to get it again on PC.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Same, price is right. If someone makes a mod to make the cinematics skippable I may even finish it.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

GTX 980 and 970 released by Nvidia. Power efficiency on these are pretty sweet.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

No 960? (That's great news! Since I have a 760).

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Probably will just come later, the 760 and 660 release also came 1-3 months after the higher end parts.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Ah gotcha. Well considering it still gets me 1080p @ 30 - 60 fps at high - ultra settings I'm pretty content still.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Why do I have a feeling the stuck with 4gbs of vram because it will eventually bottleneck with 4K games. I was hoping for at least 6gb to be honest. Kinda happy because I will keep my 780s another cycle or two. I am looking forward to moving up in resolution eventually!

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Like the demo but will wait for a price drop.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

It's like $45 now, but yeah I"m waiting until it's $25 or so.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

That's around the price point I'm waiting for.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Hope this goes here- we bought Minecraft for our iPad for our son but now we want to have him do it on PC so he can play with our local friends group. Is there a way to transfer his file to a PC version or do we just have to buy it again and start over?

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums...on-world-to-pc is all I could find on it.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

But I'm still going to have rebuy it on the PC, right?

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Yeah, you'll have to purchase the PC version -- I believe it's the most expensive version of the game at $26.95.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Ryse (October 10th) will NOT have microtransactions in the multiplayer.

Here it is at 1440p - the framerate increase definitely shows.

Keeping in mind that those LPC machines are roughly $5k a piece.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Final Fantasy XIII was released today.

60gb installation :lol:, but only a 49.4gb download.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Lazy port too, apparently.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Yeah it's a pretty lousy port.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Gabriel Knight HD remake will be released on the 15th. Currently on sale for 15% off through Steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/262000/

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Whoa, how did I miss the existence of that! One of my favorite games, i'm in.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition is coming out on October 30th.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

I wonder if they will do a Planescape: Torment EE... I wouldn't mind playing it again.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

http://kotaku.com/x-wing-tie-fighter...ele-1651470045

X-Wing and Tie Fighter are making their way to GOG. Looks like other old LucasArts games will show up eventually too.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

A classic game, Crusader No Remorse is the free EA Origin On the House selection now.

https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/f...s/on-the-house

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Valkyria Chronicles is being ported to PC by Sega.

And I really hope Crusader gets a remake someday.

PC backwards compatibility is really shining these days :D

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

The first batch of 6 were released today:

• Star Wars™: X-Wing Special Edition
• Star Wars™: TIE Fighter Special Edition
• Sam & Max Hit the Road
• The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition
• Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™
• Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic

Eventually 20+ old Lucasfilm games will be released.

I've heard a rumor that Grim Fandango will be the Halloween day deal.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Any chance of them being released on Steam as well?

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

There's a chance, however nothing's been announced. Steam already has a few LucasArts titles:
http://store.steampowered.com/search...sher=LucasArts

GOG often does some special programming and tweaking to get older games to work on newer hardware. So some games may stay exclusive to GOG if Lucasarts doesn't have the rights to those tweaks and doesn't want to replicate it on their own. Or, GOG could have timed exclusivity to some of these titles.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Ah okay, thanks for the info.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Why would you want Steam over drm-free GOG?

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

I would just because 99.9% of my games are in Steam now and keep auto-updated.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

Yeah, this is the most common reason I see for people preferring Steam. Which is probably why they have something like 70% of the download market.

GOG is working on its own optional Steam-like Client to handle auto-updates and multiplayer matchmaking of their games.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

I also like to keep my games located on as few services as possible... Mainly because otherwise I'll forget I even own them.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
 

I'd prefer Steam over GOG as well.

I guess we see what became of Blizzard's Titan MMO.
