In the wake of Windows 10 blocking games with SafeDisc and SecuROM, maybe it's time to admit ancient PC games can't be supported forever. Considering there are workarounds in place for making these PC games run on Windows 10, the fact anyone is even remotely upset about Microsoft's decision is baffling to me. You probably like fiddling if you're a retro PC gamer. So fiddle. Please correct me if I've got this wrong.
Windows 10 won't run old games with SafeDisc, and those with certain versions of SecuROM, because it's a security risk. We're talking about old games here – mainly from 2003-2008, according to Microsoft – including some modern classics. The PC version of BioShock, for example, used SecuROM when it was released in 2007, although it was removed in 2008. Some people are pissed off about this because it means they either: Can't upgrade to Windows 10 because their entire existence revolves around playing Anachronox on one PC, and one PC only.
Is that right? Come on, PC people. Phil Spencer is obliterating the distinction between Xbox and PC, and he's just getting started. The pieces are still in play, but as we watch them moving around the board, the strategy becomes clear: Microsoft no longer sees a distinction between gaming on Xbox One and Windows PC. And it doesn't want you to see one, either. Microsoft's ambition makes sense, and this holistic view has had a long time coming. The company has been deeply invested in gaming for ages, and yet the PC and the Xbox console have lived largely separate, parallel lives. Today, though, when Microsoft mentions playing games, it's not just about Xbox gaming or Windows gaming. For more than a year, the man behind that message has been Phil Spencer. "We had discussions before I took this role around where I would want to take gaming and where Microsoft would want to take gaming," Spencer told Polygon at Gamescom 2015.
Spencer described his role in two evolutions: The transformation of Xbox One under his leadership and Microsoft's embrace of gaming on Windows. Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox. Watch 13-Minute Rise of the Tomb Raider Extended Gameplay Demo. Microsoft on Monday published the full Rise of the Tomb Raider "Prophet's Tomb" gameplay demo originally seen at the company's Gamescom briefing last week. The 13-minute extended video is meant to encapsulate the essence of the game, which will involve action set-pieces, puzzle solving, and of course, tomb raiding. Take a look at the video below. The Rise of the Tomb Raider release date is set for November 10 across Xbox One and Xbox 360. The game will launch in early 2016 for PC, and then in fall 2016 for PlayStation 4.
Developer Crystal Dynamics may even be working on a sequel. Square Enix Americas CEO Phil Rogers told GameSpot last week at Gamescom that the story arc that began with 2013's Tomb Raider reboot and continues with Rise of the Tomb Raider will be told across a trilogy. We learned and saw a lot more of Rise of the Tomb Raider last week at Gamescom. Read the article on Appy Gamer Read the original article. UK Sales Charts: A Rare Change at the Summit. Xbox One exclusive Rare Replay shot straight to the top of the UK sales charts in a desperately slow summer week, securing the legendary British developer's first number one since Banjo-Kazooie all the way back in 1998.
Elsewhere, last week's frontrunner LEGO Jurassic World moved down into second, while Batman: Arkham Knight, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and Grand Theft Auto V rounded out the top five. In truth, there's very little to say this time, with the retail release calendar taking a bit of a break. Evergreen titles like FIFA 15, Battlefield Hardline, and F1 2015 made up the top ten, as LittleBigPlanet 3 enjoyed a climb up the charts into 17th position on the back of various promotions. God of War III Remastered dropped heavily into 28th place, but both The Last of Us Remastered and Bloodborne proved that they still have clout, desperately clinging on to a top 40 slot.

N++ is simple but no easy ride; a Rambo-style elephant is not that original; and Angry Birds 2 is another winner Will Freeman, Matt Kamen, Andy Robertson PS4, Metanet Software, cert: 7 Don't expect N++ to present an easy ride. This is a platformer that boils down the central elements of the genre to a pure, minimalist offering and never shies away from asking more from its players, insisting you overcome a barrage of seemingly impossible jumps spread over thousands of single screen 2D stages.
N++, which extends a series that began life as a flash game, is a lesson in mastering momentum, precision and inertia, arming players with only a jump and basic movement controls. There are towering difficulty spikes too, that suddenly crumble as you learn ever more about N++'s nuanced input system. An ample selection of modes are buoyed by an already abundant stream of user-created levels, the most interesting of which actually play themselves automatically, using captivatingly clever level design.

Today during Gamescom, Moon Studios announced Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition is coming to Xbox One, Windows 10, and Steam this holiday season. While details are scarce at the moment, the studio revealed on Xbox Daily: Live the Definitive Edition will be "the ultimate version of Ori.
" The studio says it focused heavily on fan feedback while developing this new version, which will include new areas, mechanics, artwork, and possibly new abilities. Ori and the Blind Forest was released earlier this year to critical acclaim and commercial success, becoming profitable after just one week.

The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra’s community. The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. (This article has been co-written with my colleague Jonathan Bailey) Knowledge about color spans across several disciplines: physics, biology, psychology, art, and design. It is a useful tool for the artist to create emotion, for the game designer to emphasize function, and for the marketer to set apart. The primary function of color vision is to make it easier to identify objects, and indeed, the use of color in games reflect this. Emotion Color is a powerful way to evoke emotion. The following is an example of essentially the same scene, with different colors.
Color grading is a popular method used (adapted from film) to adjust the colors of games in one sweep; usually with the purpose of changing the mood. Sometimes, a color change can also be useful to reduce emotional impact.

Popular mobile game Flappy Bird taken down by creator Nguyen Ha Dong. Revealed: The secret trick to beat Flappy Bird every time The creator of the popular mobile game Flappy Bird has decided to take it down because he is uncomfortable with the amount of attention he is receiving. Nguyen Ha Dong, a Hanoi-based game developer, removed the game from Apple and Google’s online stores at 5pm today after announcing he would do so yesterday. He tweeted: ‘I am sorry “Flappy Bird” users, 22 hours from now, I will take “Flappy Bird” down. I cannot take this anymore.’ I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down.
The game, which involves steering a bird between green pipes, has become hugely popular over the past few weeks. Flappy Bird has reportedly been earning Dong an average of $50,000 a day from advertising. The Android version alone has been downloaded up to 50million times. Flappy Bird fan Ash didn’t take the news too well and tweeted: ‘Flappy Bird is getting taken down please tell me that this is not true I’m gonna cry please.’ Instagram.

Usually starts with some brain storming with writers, designers and the director. Then they'll go off and do their own thing and produce a bunch of different things in various directions. Those will be looked over then and everything gets whittled down and driven from there. It's a way of getting everyone in tune to a singular vision, and once that vision is obtained they build from there. From what I know theres always an art director that liase between the art team and the game design team and even level designers.
They would produce tons of art during pre production then it would be a long process of redesigning till they get the right one to be used ultimately by the 3D modelers and level designers. The workflow varies in different studios of course, some even have writers in for the discussion on the overall look, tone and mood. Typically the artists are given a specific "theme" or "type" which the need to make a certain number of pieces. Photo by k_twist. Photo by k_twist. How video game purchases help fund gun makers. 'Computer games keep me mentally active' The Humble Bundle for Android 4 (pay what you want and help charity) Budget 2012: tax breaks extended to animation and games industries | UK news. Wallace & Gromit will continue to be made in the UK, George Osborne claimed in his budget speech, as he unveiled a film industry-style tax break to encourage development in the animation and video game sectors.
The chancellor's financial incentive will also apply to high-cost dramas, such as Titanic and Downton Abbey, as revealed last week during the prime minister's trip to the US. Osborne told the Commons it was the policy of the government to keep Wallace & Gromit exactly where they are – a comment that prompted cheers from coalition benches as it was also a dig at Labour leader Ed Miliband, who is sometimes likened to Wallace, the cheese-loving plasticine hero. Aardman Animations, the Bristol-based independent producer of Wallace & Gromit, has along with other animators been calling for the Treasury to give a tax relief to support UK production, at an estimated direct cost to the exchequer of £17m a year. Animation is a £300m-a-year industry that employs 4,700 people directly. Darksiders II ‘Create a Weapon’ Contest.

The apps join OnLive's PC and Mac clients, as well as its OnLive Game System set-top box.
The new apps will provide full access to all OnLive games and demos, with a choice of three control methods for touchscreen tablets.

OnLive will have 25 games available with touchscreen controls as its tablet apps launch, while the rest of its nearly 200-strong catalogue will be playable using the wireless controller.
Chief executive Steve Perlman says that OnLive is targeting two types of people with the new apps. Deus.Ex.Human.Revolution Update v 1.1.622.0 PROPER.
