Witcher 3's First Paid DLC "Almost Ready"

Hearts of Stone is "shaping up really nicely," CD Projekt Red says.

They should instead fix Steam achievements

Spoiler

or remove them

[Jazz573]

Grisaia 50% off, holy smokes!

Just wanted to let people know the 18+ version is now available for download on Denpasoft's website. It unfortunately does not come with a Steam key, however, it is priced the same as the Steam version. No 50% discount tho. Not sure if there're any achievements in the Steam version but obviously if there are they won't be in this version.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Can you re-lewd the Steam version?

A question for the nvidia users. How do you update your drivers? Just download them through geforce experience and install them, or you should remove everything a do a clean install?

If I don't check "Clean Install" it goes to crap and Windows will only output via IGP.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Just back from week abroad

What's the big stuff I've missed?
When is the MGS V preload?
And who is it that can get cheap copies of Soma?

Nobody?

Looks better thank Dragon the Game, also this reminds me of Lair in the PS3...

Nobody?

Nobody's sure when MGSV download will be available, official word is this time:

 

[Jazz573]

Can you re-lewd the Steam version?

Unfortunately I've heard it's apparently impossible. They actually didn't remove the scenes, they just replaced them with non-lewd scenes from the Vita version. Also, I believe they censored references to drugs and some of the more lewd jokes. I can't remember exactly why it's impossible tho.

 

[TheLetdown]

It's a whole new world?

It might just be a new fantastic point of view.

How long is that build-a-bundle supposed to last? Until tomorrow?

About Us

Blackthorn Media is a team of award-winning veterans at the crossroads of Film, Videogame, Animation, and Entertainment Technology. We have a rich history leading some of the best visual entertainment in any medium.

We’re in this business because it’s what we love to do. Blackthorn is where we’ve come to build the future.


Michael Conelly
Creative Director

Michael has supervised the creation of characters that have grossed over two billion dollars at the world-wide box office. A prolific designer and author, he has published books of fiction, sold original designs for games now in production, written screenplays, and optioned work for feature film development. He has helped design software and workflows used in the production of academy award winning visual effects. And he has helped turn bleeding-edge technology into profitable enterprise for much of the last twenty years. His recent turn as Digital Effects Supervisor for Snow White and the Huntsman yielded an oscar nomination for the work.
Learning to program at age ten, Michael has been drawn his whole life to computers, animation, and storytelling. He studied philosophy and political theory at Bard College and the London School of Economics, while taking every art and programming class available. Michael founded Renaissance Technologies, a game company, at 24, quickly finding a publisher for his first effort. He joined the game division of Rhythm and Hues Studios shortly thereafter, and soon migrated into feature film work. His steady rise within the company would be marked by innovation, efficiency, and cameraderie.
His creative drive, and groundbreaking career in visual media are a unique asset to Blackthorn.

Will Telford
Head of Creative Technology

Will‘s career in CGI began with his specialization in creature development, supervising movies like The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe - which was nominated for an oscar in visual effects. But his expertise with digital media runs the gamut, from programming and scripting, to stereoscopic workflows, deformation heuristics, concepts of color space across multiple media, and balancing artists’ needs against exotic technology constraints. He‘s ushered dozens of visual-effects-rich feature films to completion, while simultaneously driving R&D on multiple technology projects. He’s a tool maker, and a ‘fixer,’ solving problems no one else can. He’s been entrusted with bringing to life some of the most valued properties of our time, including the Coca Cola Polar Bears, the Harry Potter franchise, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Garfield, and the Night at the Museum movies.

Keith Goldfarb
Software Artist

Keith Goldfarb was a co-founder of Rhythm and Hues Studios, the pioneering visual effects company honored with dozens of awards, including multiple Oscars, Baftas and Clios for outstanding visual effects and technical achievement. As the Chief Software Architect for the company, Keith directed R&D on multiple fronts, from core image and geometry libraries to workflows for managing massive production environments, all praised and imitated by the company’s competitors.
After 26 years at Rhythm, tectonic changes in the visual effects business marked Keith’s venture into the creation of original properties. At Blackthorn Media, Keith is now working alongside the talent he helped mentor. The scope of his experience and his history of industry-leading innovation bring a unique depth of value to the Blackthorn team.

Lyndon Barrois
Animation Director

Lyndon’s twenty year career in animation is marked by mastery in all corners of the field: His early work in stop motion animation won him accolades while still a student at CalArts. In later years he would help shape the spectacular visual effects of The Matrix series, and move on to the nuances of projects like Tree of Life. He directed a massive team of animators for Alvin and the Chipmunks, vaulting the franchise into a billion-dollar phenomenon. More recently he was recognized by the Visual Effects Society Awards with a nomination for his work on The Thing.
A native of New Orleans, Lyndon‘s career has come to span the globe, as he’s brought his impeccable eye and gift for direction to an industry needing vision and versatility. He’s directed episodic television; written and directed an award-winning, live action short, The Lift, and is partnering with a major visual effects studio to bring his latest short film - an innovative hybrid of stop-motion and CGI - to life.
Lyndon‘s creative drive, and deep background as an animator, author, and director, make him a superb match for Blackthorn’s blend of interactive, feature animation, and visual-effects-driven work.

Devolver Digital Bundle. I can just hear morningbus crying over all the Serious Sam games that may be bought to pick up Shadow Warrior cheap.

The build your own bundle deals are so good. It sort of makes up for some of the shittier bundles Humble Bundle have put out over the years.

No kidding. I hope they continue with this until the end of the sale.

 

[Jawmuncher]

How convenient that Hotline Miami 2 isn't part of that bundle sale. I have everything else from devolver I want.

It's like ordering something off Amazon and instead of those plastic bags filled with air it's plastic bags filled with farts.

And the bags themselves, in an impressive feat of engineering and at great cost, have been synthesized from actual shit.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a quick fix for the Steam achievements already.

Not A Hero: Global MegaLord Edition
The Not A Hero: Global MegaLord Edition comes with a digital artbook, exclusive behind the scenes documentary, and a collection of desktop background, sound and icons set found in the game's folder on your computer.

nothing really "got to have"

Thanks. Seems to be the same deal with the Special Edition of Titan Souls. Wasteful really.

Genuinely unsure on Titan Souls to start. The most helpful reviews for it on Steam are all negative, and the entire die like dark souls type of comments surrounding it aren't for me. I can only repeat a part so many times before I just exit game.


Ended up getting Ronin and Not A Hero. 6.59 with SSHD Second Encounter, Heavy Bullets, and Gods Will Be Watching. Oh, Humble.

I bought one. For who, that's something you'll have to figure out yourself and chide them. >>

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Its cool, tho a little repetitive. Already worth the price without the additional bundle discount.

 

[MUnited83]

Nobody?

Cheap Soma is from Fantomena.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

broforce, anime bird game, Shadow Warrior, Gods will be watching, and Ronin for $8

Damn Humble you gotta stop it, i dont have enough time for this shit

 

[Spirited]

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Nice that this one isn't 59,99€, I'm getting tired of that trend.

 

[Snakethesniper]

Wait, broforce disappeared form the build a bundle?

 

[FloatOn]

Humble store is killing it. Just picked up titan souls, broforce and not a hero for 6 dollars and change

 

[zkylon]

broforce is lame anyways

 

[Zeknurn]

How come The Talos Principle isn't part of the build your own bundle? What a waste of time.

I put up a Quick Look of Stasis early this morning. You can find it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEbKq-R6ZN0

STASIS feels like a AAA 90's computer game. The animation and visuals of the human models have a distinct 90's quality to them. It's not a bad thing at all, but for some reason the nostalgia center of my brain is going nuts while playing this game, even though it's brand new to me.

It also plays like early PnC adventure games. There is no hand-holding. There isn't a pop-up telling you what you need to do if you get lost. There are some modern twists like not having to switch your 'verb' as that is done automatically whilst also changing the icon to reflect the action, such as an eye-ball to see and having the text automatically appear. There is also PnC 'logic' which is kind-of whitewashed via the computer logs that you read, but still, some of the puzzles when thinking about it from a larger perspective don't make much sense. Why would a spaceship be fraught with so many bugs?

There are also some Myst-style sections/puzzles intertwined as well. Close-ups of panels that need to be operated. Nothing that is as hard as Myst-type puzzles, but some of the order-of-operations style puzzles that Myst seemed to have burned into my brain are present.

The atmosphere is executed very well. The isometric (Sidenote - I love isometric games) viewpoint is not only easy-on-the-eyes from a visual standpoint but facilitates the horror themes of the game. A fixed perspective with enough of an angle to foreshadow events is a great way to heighten suspense.

STASIS feels like a hidden gem from the past.

Recommended.

 

[Eila]

How come The Talos Principle isn't part of the build your own bundle? What a waste of time.

Or HM2 and OlliOlli 2.
Some of the games are very recent, so it's a great bundle if you like indie games.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

 

[TheLetdown]

any impressions on Not a Hero?

I found the humor to be ham-fisted and unfunny. It was trying at something, though. Others seemed to like it.

I wished the game was less arcade-like and instead opted for segments of groups of levels with checkpoints, or just something big and Metroid-y, but this is not so much a detractor as it is a desire for a sequel.

The gameplay is fantastic in the way Hotline Miami's was fantastic. You can blast through with frantic dodges or you could take your time, all the while totally intuitive. Whatever floats your boat. The graphics are expressive and dynamic, distinctly stylish. The music is upbeat, as required, but ultimately forgettable.

It's really solid.

 

[rainking187]

Lame move on the part of whoever is responsible. Broforce is a big part of why I was planning on picking up this bundle. I don't know enough about any of the other games I was thinking about getting to justify it now.

 

[Parsnip]

PSA:


$5.09

Did they update those games in any meaningful way when they brought them to Steam?
I think I remember promises of proper 16:9 support, but I think that fell through, or possibly I'm misremembering.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

How convenient that Hotline Miami 2 isn't part of that bundle sale.

There are several games I want but oddly enough they are all missing from the list. Hmmm.

 

[Henry Swanson]

Yea looks like it's removed from the deal.

Glad I didn't wait then.

 

[pahamrick]

No BroForce means I can pass on this bundle. So, thanks Humble, I guess.

 

[Teppic]

No BroForce means I can pass on this bundle. So, thanks Humble, I guess.

Yeah, same for me.

 

[Spirited]

Got myself luftrausers, hatoful boyfriend, olli olli, dungeon hearts and cosmic DJ for a bit over 3€, damn that's good!

 

[MakeshiftChef]

Lame move on the part of whoever is responsible. Broforce is a big part of why I was planning on picking up this bundle. I don't know enough about any of the other games I was thinking about getting to justify it now.

Same deal here. I would have snagged that and a few others to giveaway but since they removed Broforce I doubt I'll bother.

 

[NingenJanai]

Got myself luftrausers, hatoful boyfriend, olli olli, dungeon hearts and cosmic DJ for a bit over 3€, damn that's good!

Hatoful Boyfriend alone is worth more than that, good bundle
