FYI, EA has brought a pretty good chunk of their back catalogue to Steam (presumably with more in the works). C&C series of course Populous Series Dungeon Keeper The Saboture (Didn't think I'd see this released on Steam in my lifetime) Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (and expansion... Honestly the...

Alright folks, make a list, check it twice, this is what you're playing (or at least launching) in 2024: Fallout 4 (FPRPG)(Completed) Lost Ember (Walking Sim)(Completed) The Pedestrian (2D Puzzler)(Completed) Alan Wake American Nightmare (TPS)(Completed) Figment (Indie Puzzler)(Completed) Halo...

Should bring you back to the Forum's homepage, not to the AT Homepage. Pretty much the only reason I end up on AT's homepage is I'm trying to get back to the forum listing and I absentmindedly click on the logo.

Ok so the product in the following article is basically a scam: https://www.techpowerup.com/315831/you-can-now-create-a-digital-clone-of-yourself-with-eternity-ac-an-ai-startup-paving-a-path-to-immortality However, it did get me thinking about how a properly fleshed out version of this...

Next Behemoth joint has dropped. Castle Crashers, Battle block Theater, and Pit People have all been excellent. We're back to 4 player couch/online co-op side scrolling beat em up action. I had such an immense amount of fun beating Castle Crashers with my kids over 7 years as they got more...

https://www.techpowerup.com/314228/amd-fidelityfx-super-resolution-3-to-officially-launch-tomorrow-forspoken-and-immortals-of-avenum-as-launch-titles At work, so I cannot access the DSO Gaming preview of FSR 3.0, but the general impressions out there early on are reasonably positive. It...

https://www.techpowerup.com/314132/the-talos-principle-2-launches-november-2#comments Really loved TP1. It was unfairly (IMO) compared to Portal 2 because they were both puzzle games, but TP1 was the *chillest* game I have ever played bar none and there was and has been nothing quite like it...

I'm starting to hit midlife crisis mode where I pick up and discard hobbies almost as a hobby as I search for some level of fulfillment in the existential rut that is my life. My newest thing is learning to play an instrument to at least an introductory level. I had signed up for Fender's...

If you're not familiar with Volition, they're responsible for the original Descent, Freespace, Red faction, and Saint's Row games. Looks like their parent company was on the ropes and Volition was a casualty of some restructuring. The lackluster reception of the most recent Saint's Row...

I'm pretty sure the average age on these forums is pushing 90. No kids are stumbling across AT, they're all on Twitch and Discord or calling your mom a cock sucking whore on Roblox. Just let it go and allow swearing on the tech forums already. Edit: Gaming Forum as well for that matter.

https://www.techspot.com/news/99746-quake-ii-remaster-now-available-all-platforms-enhanced.html#commentsOffset Sounds like a decent deal for $10 Remastered OG game and expansion packs, new episode, Quake 64 (if you didn't already have the OG quake remaster), multiplayer and co-op across the...

Inspired by the "Calling all Old Timers" thread. I understand, by default, this thread isn't likely to get a lot of action. Let me define some terms here first: Newb: Anyone with an account that is less than (for the sake of this thread) 5 years old. Lurker: Anyone with or without an...

Ok so I just beat Witcher 3 like 8 years after everyone else and I want to talk about it but no one wants to talk about it. So let's talk about the next thing: https://www.gamesradar.com/the-witcher-4-release-date/ A couple things I really hope for: - Move the story/world/lore forward...

Saw it with the wife yesterday at opening. Solid drama with great performances by Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr. and good to excellent performances by the entire supporting cast. Does a good job showcasing the man and his complications and brilliance without turning into...

https://www.techspot.com/news/99463-overwatch-2-coming-steam-august-10-more-blizzard.html Blizzard games will start coming to Steam, likely in anticipation of the MS buyout. MS has been incredibly chummy with Steam (given Gaben is an old school MS guy) and I have always wished that I could...

https://www.techpowerup.com/311106/mythforce-arriving-on-september-12-as-revealed-during-id-xbox-showcase So much tech at our fingertips, my 80's born He-man watching ass would absolutely adore a game in this style that provided the gameplay and narrative reminiscent of ye olde Sunday morning...

I have a mesh network consisting of 3 Deco M5's. It's worked quite well for the last several years but either a recent firmware update or hardware issues seem to be giving it a bunch of problems. Xfinity promises us 800mbps and speed tests normally return about 650-700mbps so we generally do...

This deserves its own thread: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/technology/elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-cage-match.html I personally much prefer billionaires fighting for the entertainment of the masses than the other way around.

These sales certainly don't bring the boys to the yard like they used to, do they Kelis? Post any hidden gems, suggestions, requests, etc here. I personally tend to wait for the winter sale, but I might grab Fable Anniversary for the wife since she's finished with Portal 2 and Hogwarts but...

Deal of the day for Prime Members: Official Luna Wireless Controller https://a.co/d/9BeVAJi Having a controller is basically mandatory if you play PC games nowadays and the Luna will effectively work like an Xbox controller with Windows. $40 for a first party AA battery controller isnt the...

Dunno, doesn't really tell us anything about the game. Marketing department probably feels pretty good about themselves. Anyhow, there it is.

First person "Skyrim" type game set in the Pillars of Eternity world. After Outerworlds, which was a fine but really somewhat mediocre game from Obsidian, I'm a little hesitant about Avowed. Game has a sort of colorful, cartoony look like Outerworlds did, and frankly doesn't really look like...

Alright so we've gotten more rain than I ever throught we'd get here in California over the last couple months and its dawned on me that I need to actually clean the gutters on my house thanks to a couple trees near the property close enough that shed into the gutters. It just hasn't rained...

Its live folks. Number of games I have my eye on, with a pretty substantial portion of my wishlist below $10. Here's what I'm thinking of picking up: Shadow Warrior 2 Vampire Survivors Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Jedi Fallen Order Papers, Please Rise of the Tomb Raider Blasphemous Witcher 3...

My thoughts on Arkham Origins Arkham Knight is good. Its DAMN GOOD. If you liked any of the prior Arkham games, you'll love Arkham Knight. Unless you don't like driving in your games. I was honestly left wondering after Arkham City, what can they do next? Arkham World? Arkham Solar System...

Ok so if you've spent any time on the internet over the last 4-5 years you're probably familiar at least somewhat with Titanfall 2, the "Protect the Pilot" memes, and the general consensus that the campaign is like the best thing ever since sliced bread. It's alright. Actually, I'd say its...

This is the big one folks, lets see if the SCOTUS holds, edges closer to dystopian ruin, or just goes all the way in one fell swoop: https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docketfiles/html/public/21-1271.html https://ballotpedia.org/Moore_v._Harper...

Guess the allure of Steam sales is completely gone now, eh? Figured I'd make a thread as the sale winds down this Tuesday. Picked up some couch co-op bundles so the kids and I can game over the holidays. Will save my single player purchases for the winter sale as I recharge my gaming list...

Surprised we don't have a topic about this game: https://www.techpowerup.com/301196/warhammer-40-000-rogue-trader-gamplay-trailer-debuts-at-pc-gaming-show It's basically the 40k game I've been waiting my entire life for: a proper crpg in the 40k world. I figured it would have beena game...

Recently completed the main campaign for the final Hare Brained Scheme Shadowrun game set in the eponymous Hong Kong. For the uninitiated, Shadowrun is a universe where fantasy and cyberpunk have collided. It's the 6th world and modern humanity has been turned upside down with the awakening of...

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/rtx-4090-53-games-ryzen-7-5800x-vs-ryzen-7-5800x3d/ TL:DR - the 5800x3d is gonna go down as a damn legend of a gaming CPU. Easily the smartest upgrade for anyone on the AM4 platform with an older Ryzen processor or even anyone with halfway decent DDR4 ram...

Ok, been a long time and I'm out of the CPU loop a bit. My current rig is in my signature. Its time to refresh my core components. I have a 3080 10g in the mail (and presumably it works) so I'd like to pair it with a CPU that is up to the task and has some staying power. I'll be sticking...

The Outer Worlds is easy to dislike at first glance. It feels like a game designed by committee for maximum likability, and like all things designed by committee it feels like its a day late and a dollar short. It feels inoffensive, but somehow that makes it even more offensive. Lets list what...

The next big thing. Right now its Ray Tracing. At some point everyone was cheering Tessellation. Programmable Shaders. Bump mapping. Texture & Lighting. Physics. Remember when physics was the next frontier in "realistic" gaming? So many promises. So many incredible games. So much...

Ok so I went through a spate of shorty little sub 10 hour games and didn't feel like making a post for each one, so I'll spend a paragraph on each here (its also a gloriously slow Friday so far, knock on wood). Super Meat Boy - Loved it. Pure 2D platforming heaven, super short 2-3 minute...

My thoughts on the first Banner Saga here. The Banner Saga 2 is a bit of a misnomer. Generally when we think sequel, we think improved graphics, engine, etc. The Banner Saga 2 doesn't really have any of that. Its really an extension of the first game, looks exactly the same, and plays exactly...

The Batman Arkham games count themselves as some of the best superhero brawler games ever made. Arkham Asylum was the first, a sort of "one bad night" for Batman as he quells a prison break at Arkham Asylum. Batman Arkham City was the next iteration of the series, taking the Arkham Asylum...

For the last bajillion years I've been running an AIO Corsair H60 (the original design with the dixie cup pump and the locking teeth mounting design). Its been a solid AIO for my old Q9550 and my current 6600K, allowing both to attain solid overclocks at reasonably low temps, is nice and...

Anyone else still on the sprint network getting harassed by T-Mobile reps to get a new device even when the old one should be compatible with their network? My wife's Pixel 3a XL is an unlocked model, should be fully LTE capable, and is only 2 years old but the tmo customer service rep told...
