General Gaming News II: Steam Helpdesk Site Leak

[Krandor]

If anyone wants to flex their RTX card Bright Memory is like 6 bucks right now.

In it's current form it's basically a tech demo/teaser of whenever the real game comes out and is only like 30-40 minutes long (the full game will supposedly be a free upgrade if you buy the little snippet), but it's pretty cool gameplay and looks really fancy with RTX shit turned on.

It's also made by only one guy which is super impressive given all the technical flash in it

Quakecon 2020 Canceled

To all of our friends in the QuakeCon community,

QuakeCon has always been a special event for us and for you—a time when we gather together to play games and build bonds that, for some, have lasted a quarter-century now.

In recent weeks we have spent a lot of time discussing how we might still move forward with QuakeCon this year, particularly given that it’s the 25th year of the event. However, with all of the logistical challenges and uncertainties we currently face due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s QuakeCon. The health and safety of our employees, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, and players will always be our top priority, and in these times it felt wrong to be talking about a gathering when gathering is the last thing any of us should be doing right now.

While we don’t know what the state of the pandemic will be this August, we do know it will not be possible to complete the work and planning with partners, vendors, volunteers, and others that is required to make QuakeCon a success.

We thank all of you—especially the volunteers—for all your work in building and supporting this event year after year. We hope to work with you to come up with other ways to celebrate the spirit of QuakeCon this August, and we look forward to the return of this amazing event next year.

Until then, be safe, look after each other, and play games.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

id Software and Bethesda Softworks

Gamescom 2020 will be Held as a All-Digital Event

The gamescom organisers have updated their plans for this year: Even though the world’s largest event for computer and video games will not take place for five months, some of the planned measures have already been announced in light of the corona crisis. Existing digital formats such as gamescom: Opening Night Live and gamescom now will be significantly expanded and new modules added.

After millions of fans throughout the world followed gamescom online last year, records are also expected to be surpassed in 2020. Koelnmesse and game – the German Games Industry Association jointly announced that gamescom will definitely take place at least in a digital format from 25 to 29 August. They say it will not be postponed. The same goes for the devcom developer conference (22 to 24 August), which starts off gamescom week.

An evaluation will be made in mid-May as to how gamescom can also take place on-site in Cologne based on the latest developments of the corona pandemic at that time together with the responsible state authorities. If an on-site event is possible, there will also be more information at that stage with regard to which changes need to be made in order to fully ensure the health of all visitors. This has been arranged with the largest exhibitors, therefore all gamescom plans are continuing at full speed.

At the same time, the organisers ensure that visitors will receive a refund for already paid tickets and exhibitors will be reimbursed in full for payments made to Koelnmesse if gamescom or devcom cannot take place on location in Cologne by official order. Further information on the digital formats will be announced in the coming months.

“Millions of fans worldwide are excited about gamescom 2020. That is why we are determined to celebrate the latest news, announcements and world premieres together with the community again this year at the end of August. In view of the corona crisis, we are now expanding all digital formats at full speed so that gamescom 2020 can at least take place digitally in any case. We already reach millions of gamescom fans worldwide with the global show gamescom: Opening Night Live and the gamescome now portal. Further expansion of our digital strategy is the way to go right now,” says managing director of game, Felix Falk.

“gamescom and Koelnmesse already rank among the digital pioneers in the international trade fair landscape. We therefore also see the current corona crisis as a chance to implement digital event formats even more. gamescom 2020 offers the perfect platform for this. When we reassess the situation in mid-May for all gamescom formats at the Cologne fair grounds, the health of our visitors will be our top priority. It goes without saying that preparations are well underway both physically and digitally," says Oliver Frese, Managing Director, Koelnmesse GmbH.

I really didn't like 7 I hope it strays from that in 8, really first person for a RE game.... I wish they did CV before RE4.. not seeing why they did that.

[Salodin]

RE4R is much easier money than CV imo. Name recognition alone

Wow, my streak of agreeing with you so much has now come to an end.

It's hard to imagine an RE4make that isn't worse than the original, especially if they redo the script and voice acting.

[KuroTsuki]

Honestly, all RE4 needs is the movement the remakes have. I recently played it and forgot how stiff the controls are.

[Nitsuki]

They can now do good with FPS titles right? Just remake Survivor. >_>

The game was balanced around its limited movement. All RE4R needs is a visual overhaul, and less downtime accessing menus. Leave everything else intact. For as good as the game looked on the Gamecube, a lot of those environment textures were clearly designed with 480i in mind because boy did they stand out bad on the "HD" versions last gen.

Unfortunately they'll overhaul the game anyways knowing that people probably won't buy a fifth version of 'that game', so they're going to reinvent the wheel.

Remake both Survivors as VR titles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Salodin]

Eh, the castle in re4r could be half as long, and the island just straight sucks. I hope its a reimagining and not a scene for scene remake

When ya'll say movement changes do you mean that the old movement style being like it was in Parasite Eve 2?
