  6. Steam deals

    Since Valve made it official that Steam accepts local payment options my interview with their local partner, Novaplay is now live. Check it out here: http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/features/meet-the-company-thats-made-it-easier-to-buy-games-via-steam-in-india-1640719

     

    Points of interest:

    1. No Steam Link or Steam Controller any time soon. Sorry Afty senpai.

    2. They're looking to lower prices on games even further.

    3. 15% service tax is probably not going to be a concern until Valve gets an India office.

     

    Well you gotta take the good with the bad I guess. I can always import the controller.

     

    Pricing bit is interesting. They need to work with the indie and AA publishers. Indie stuff should ideally be sub 500. AA stuff below 1000. I dont think they can do much with AAA stuff though.

    Booked tickets for Rogue one show with the Mrs. I am like 90% sure I will come to regret that. She will HATE it and will drag me to see something that I know I will HATE because of that. :lol:

     

    Lets hope there is no Hrithik Roshan movie coming out in the next month or so. :P

    Oh man. Season 1 and 2 are the weakest of Seinfeld. Season 3-6 is literally the greatest sitcom ever made.

     

    BTW I really like that Prime and Netflix now both offer downloads to watch offline. Shame that a lot of Netflix stuff isnt not up for download though. Only a few shows.

    O.o

     

    You are putting the cart before the horse. This isnt comic book movies. You establish a story and characters first. Then if the audience responds to those characters you can do an origins story. If this film takes off they will do more with the characters, this is Disney after all. Sequels are their lifeblood.

     

    And Godfather 2 is one of the greatest films of all time and quite possible the greatest sequel ever mad. If anything, it is 101 of how to do sequels and movie making right. Establish a story first. And once audiences are fascinated by the character, give them the backstory.

    I LOVED Lost world the first time I saw it. I still love it. Always thought that movie got a bad rap unnecessarily. Its a phenomenal movie till they go back to the US. And even then its actually pretty decent. Ditto for crystal skull, that film is much better than Temple of doom.

     

    I think Spielberg's recent output is very subpar. The Tom Hanks airport move, Dicaprio conman film and the recent cold war "thriller" were very average films.
