@Obsolesce I bet that that company is just gone, now.

Mine has already updated. But I didn't look to see if it was running any faster.

Yeah I didn't notice any difference... However, I use Steam as a gateway to my game library, so I'm not sure how you can make that go noticeably faster.
Perhaps, the improvements were in the areas of the client that I don't use... i.e. the other 90% of the Steam Client

I don't see kids liking this thing. This will be mainly for those who played them when 8 bit games were originally out.

I have GOG Galaxy installed on Mac and being tested. @dominica is going to test it on Windows 10.

Great idea, I wonder how well it will work. Very interesting for sure.

Nintendo's last (maybe only) good controller was the SNES controller. That was excellent. Easy, obvious, comfortable and worked perfectly for the available games. Everything since then has been a horribly failed gimmick.

Kids these days like watching others play video games. I bet it sells

If you think about it, how many of us grew up with girlfriends who liked watching us play games? Probably half of my high school and college era relationships were with girls who liked to watch me play games. Most of them liked to play as well, but for games that I was into and they were not, they would often just watch. @dominica still watches me play some games. She treats it like a movie. And she is a gamer, she plays as much as I do but often very different games.

If this is your first PS3 and you like action adventure (I like adventure, can take or leave the action) then I can't recommend enough that you look into Uncharted! It's a Playstation exclusive title, has two sequels on the PS3 (plus one on the Vita and one on the PS4) and is considered one of the best franchises of the console. And since you can't get it anywhere else, well worth checking out.

+1 to the Uncharted series... Very good story line. Also the only reason I bought my PS3 was for Little Big Planet... if you like a cute, difficult, platformers then you should check out that series.

That's sad about Team Fortress 2, I used to play competitively and it was an amazing game. It has a lot of issues now but still fun to jump on every now and then.

I've also heard great things about The Last of Us. Made by the same developers of the Uncharted series.

That is pretty cool. I would like to get my hands on one of these and see how it is. I'm skeptical but interested.

It's the second one in the Shield series, so it has a little traction already.

Hope this gets more traction than the last three iterations. But with DirectX 12 coming with full Tesselation support, I don't see how OpenGL can possibly keep up...

It is amazing how little is needed to play older games. My desktop is seven years old but with the upgraded RAM and the three year old GPU it can play most any game from the 2000 decade and a few more recent.

That's a pretty neat idea.

Nice. Well played on Steam's part.

I'm trying to do that too, although there are new titles being added in. Like FF4's new sequel that is out on the consoles but not the PC, yet. I've played through the first four in order, waiting on five and six to be available. I bought seven and eight for the PC already. I really hope that nine, ten, ten part two and twelve get released soon, though, because those are the ones that I am most interested in (PSX and PS2 era) as I own them all but didn't get around to playing them on the consoles and would like to play them updated on a PC.

Kinds of hoping that some other classics like Parasite Eve get revamped too.
