I'll wait for the mod that unlocks those features. Until then, no buy.
I mean, I can force AA and whatnot in Catalyst, and I'm sure there's some ini setting to fix the frame rate locks and resolution locks, but until those features are actually fixed I'm not buying it.


I'm waiting to see what Durante will do. That guy needs his own theme song.

That man is a legend.

He is the epitome of all the maxims that PC gaming stands for, such as: "Never settle for less." and "We do what we must, because we can."

I don't even care for Final Fantasy XIII, but he deserves all the sex, drugs, and other delicacies in the world for standing up for those who choose to dare to play on the platform of love, freedom, and progress.

My biggest fear is that I won't be able to play it at 21:9.

Apparently Durante's fix CTDs the game when not at 16:9.

I feel like going on wix and making a fake website to make fake news about video games that would ruin Beano's childhood.

But it seems real ones are already doing a good job.

Nope.

Breaking news-Gabriel Knight called "A point and click Skyrim" by reviewers. Scores at a all time low.

Wouldn't even matter. Point and click skyrim would probably be even better than Skryim.

And it's not like review scores mean anything anymore.

You guys are grasping at straws.

Try something like "Original creator of Zork makes another sequel to the original Zork but exclusive to Xbox One. The new Z0RK will satisfy the demands of today's modern audience by restricting the player's actions to however they can wave their hands to in front of the Kinect. The option to be eaten by a grue will be released in later DLC by the title of "Classic Z0RK" for the low price of $14.99 which will only be available to Xbox Live Gold members."

And the inability for kinect to distinguish your hand movements is not a glitch it's a feature.

Two of the original developers are retired, one's a climatologist, and the other works for the British military.


I.e. you're still grasping at straws because that's totally unbelievable.

Not to mention that that'd actually be pretty neat.


Anyone who considers kinect-based combat to be a downgrade has clearly never played Zork: The Grand Inquisitor. FOV of 180 + can't look up or down + can only look in one of the four cardinal directions + can't actually walk, can only teleport between levels Google Maps-style = a fantastic game with a really shitty control system

That could be totally feasible.

An executive or analyst at Activision could look at the expected success of Uncharted 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider and say: "We need a game like that."

Gabriel Knight is a known franchise, and they could spin it as a "reboot", which would be a perfect way to advertise it.

It's happening with King's Quest, so we might as well drag Gabriel Knight kicking and screaming to the forefront of modern console gaming. ;)

It's self-published now. Jane doesn't work for Sierra anymore. Sierra is owned by Activision, but Jane isn't owned by Sierra. The chances of her actually going back to Sierra after all this is slim to none, and she values creative expression too much to sell her soul to 'vision this late in the game.
Not to mention that she's basically swimming in cash considering the low cost of PAC games and the fact that her new studio is crowed funded.

Well, console gamers, I hope you are happy. I am honestly crying right now. The Witcher 3 was the game that I built my gaming PC for, only to see it ruined.

I don't have any reason to live anymore.
