thanks in advance Charlie.
G'day everyone, just looking for some advice I have a copy of Lightroom4 which I'm trying to learn but just wondering is that all I need or is PS better?
thanks in advance Charlie.
Hi Charlie,
I don't have Lightroom, but have just flicked through an on-line overview of same, and have noticed two very important features I use in Photoshop that appear to be missing in Lightroom. Now, I could be wrong because I have never worked with lightroom.
1. Photoshop allows you to select a specific area of your image e.g. the bird, and mask it off from changes you make to other parts of the image, or selectively enhance the selected part of the image without those enhancements being applied to the whole image.
2. PS allows you to have a stack of layers (like transparent sheets of glass) on which the whole image or parts of the image, or other editorial adjustments are written. At any stage, you can delete or combine one or more of these layers without damaging the original image which remains on your base layer. You can also make areas of the layer invisible by selectively masking it off.
These are just two of photoshop's superior functions. There are others.
What do you buy? I suppose you get what you pay for. How seriously do you take your photography? How much time are you likely to spend dressing up your images after a day in the field? How competitive are you? Are you a patient or must-have-now person?
As a retiree with no other commitments, I have never regretted outlaying the extra for photoshop CS4, and if I live to be 100, I will still be "just learning Photoshop".
Happy to talk with you further via personal message if you are interested.
Oh, and welcome to F&P.

Never too old to learn.
Lightroom is a great tool for beginners and I use it to convert my Raw files. I like the crop tool and all the sliders make it easier. The adjustment brush tool is pretty powerful for selectively making changes such as sharpening, shadows etc and well worth learning.
Is PS better? it is a different product, lightroom is easy to use and does a lot of things well for a cheaper price. PS is a complete package and is very powerful. As Margaret mentioned you have total control over the image using layers. I do my final touch ups in PS. It comes down to whether is is worth it or not. The learning curve is huge and you almost need a degree in engineering to drive it but once you start to learn it becomes a very powerful tool. I'm sure there is heaps I don't know and I am learning all the time.

Hi Charlie,
Welcome to F&P.
Between the two Adobe programs, Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 (as the current versions) you have to consider the purpose these two programs were designed for, as there is a huge learning curve to take on if you are unfamiliar with either.
So let me begin with Lightroom 4; Lightroom was designed solely for photographers and in the large part it will allow you to undertake most of the post processing tasks you would normally encounter.
The program has a DAM (Digital Asset Management) system, the library module, which is a database for managing your images productively (something PS doesn't do completely) and is very powerful. It shares the same Adobe Camera Raw as Photoshop so there is no difference in the initial processing of your RAW files.
But one of the main points to remember about Lightroom is that whilst you are working on images within Lightroom you are working a non pixel based image, meaning you are not actually touching the original image. This is partly how Adobe got around not having Layers within Lightroom. So this means that you can "play around" with your images within lightroom and never fear mucking up the original unless you delete the file from your hard drive (in which case not even PS will help you there). You create a pixel based image only when you export a file to a device.
Lightroom is a great program if you want an all in one program, which in its own right is extremely powerful and for most photographers it will achieve most outcomes once you master the program.
Ok so what about Photoshop? Well Photoshop has been around since about 1990 (from memory); it was originally designed for many different associated imaging industries, such as designers, publishing, printing, web designers and photographers. As such it had to provide tools for all these different interest groups. Unfortunately photographers seemed to have drawn the short end of the stick when it came to features for us.
Photoshop is a pixel based imaging program, which means every time you do something to an image you are modifying the pixels within the image. This is why Photoshop uses Layers, as Margaret mentioned. When you use a Layer you are in a sense using a copy of the pixels from the original and modifying them. Layers are a powerful tool and a good way to work with your images as it is non destructive but there is a cost, each layer increase the file size and with a large number of layers you can find you end with a file size around the 100mb or more quite easily, add all those image files together and you now have a space problem on your hard drive.
Photoshop also has the ability to "stitch" multiple images together to form a panorama, something Lightroom can't do.
I personally use both programs and have done so for many years, Lightroom is my every day processor and Photoshop is for the troublesome files and when I use a scanner to scan transparencies (yes I'm old enough to have thousands of old film slides). I openly admit I would use only about 1% of Photoshop's power and have a lot to learn about how to harness that power.
But to be clear to everyone; I wouldn't recommend people just starting out in photography to buy Photoshop as your main software for processing images, it is a extremely powerful program designed for many different associated imaging industries and there are many features as photographers you probably would never use. Adobe Lightroom 4 is designed for photographers and would be a more practical program in most cases for the beginner and professional photographer alike. Both Lightroom and Photoshop use the same Adobe Camera Raw program for processing your RAW files so you aren't missing out there. Photoshop just allows you more control in the more complicated tasks of layers and masks (if you don't know what these are and how to work with them, then you're definitely not ready for Photoshop).
My suggestion would be that if you have mastered Lightroom and still need a bit more grunt to handle more difficult images than it may be worth purchasing Photoshop to compliment Lightroom but otherwise stick with Lightroom and learn to master it first, then maybe consider Photoshop but if you have a need for power and time to learn to use Photoshop then I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I also use both. Lightroom is fabulous for tagging and cataloging images, as well as minor RAW tweaks. However the majority of my PP work is done in PS.
Hello Charlie,
I'm new to bird photography too, but can give you some feedback on my recent experiences and observations.
I usually battle to get the "photographic capture" element right finding good subjects with good poses/behaviour in good light at a good distance and then getting good focus, sharpness, exposure, composition, and either separation from back-ground or good habitat. My duds couldn't be salvaged by any software other than drawing-tools and the better photos don't really require much post-processing.
If you already have Lightroom and really want to spend money on improving your photos then perhaps higher priorities than "Photoshop right now" may be: funding more road-trips to experiment with exposure, camera settings, and the standard composition guidelines; and perhaps purchasing any "capture gear" that you don't yet have, such as a good tripod and head, flash and beamer.
Some of the "perfect" or "fine-art" photos on the forum undoubtedly use Photoshop to get that final 5% perfection, but I think that 95% of the of the result comes from the effort and technique put into capturing an excellent image to start off with. Some of the users on this forum post fantastic images with no more than minor cropping and exposure tweaks using far more basic programs than Lightroom.
For me, once I have a portfolio of a few hundred "excellent images" (rather than the current "OK's" ) I may think about re-visiting the good ones with Photoshop. I don't think that this will be tomorrow.
James Doyle (30-04-2012), John Kenney (21-09-2012)
Wow a lot of expertise here. I reckon Adobe Bridge which comes with Photoshop is good for organising images but I have never used Lightroom so I don't know how it compares. I am also of the belief that a good photo is made in the camera not in the post processing and I am never happy with my photos which I have to do a lot of fiddling with to make them look good. I reckon that time would have been better spent trying to get the photo right when I took it.
Good luck with your decision
Richard Jackson
your comments and suggestions are welcomed
The differences in the two programs have been very well documented above so i won't add any more to that.
Like Geoff, I do very little in PS besides my preset action that resizes, sharpens and adds my watermark. Lightroom is incredibly powerful and as Tony said so well if the image is any good in the first place then i do believe that this is all you need for most of the work.
The great thing about LR4 is of course that its a free beta download so you can get used to it before you have to pay for it.
Since using Lightroom i rarely if ever use Bridge - feels totally inadequate now.
Cheers, Dave

Don't forget if your keen to get photoshop you could always start with PS elements which has more than enough tools to start you learning and give you great processing power with a much much lower pricetag than the full version.
Does Lightroom except plugins like Topaz DeNoise for example
gtp (13-05-2012)
Just an add on to this thread - Lightroom 4 is now less than $200!!! I paid over $400 each for the couple of copies i bought of LR3!

Very honest and fair. They don't over charge and if it's not something they can fix they will tell you and not charge you for for work they don't do.
George has worked on my Suburban several times - mechanically and replaced door lock mechanism. Both times he did a great job, immediately diagnosed the problem, honest, promptly repaired, and his rates are very competitive. His wife Peggy runs the front office and gas pumps, and could not be nicer!
DO NOT GO HERE. Took my car here took them 5 hours to run diagnostic! Checked car out when I got there my car had crazy loud noises coming from engine. I tell Mike( I think thats his name..... the old bald guy) that my car has never made those noises before, he gets angry and says that he wouldnt mess up my car to bring business into his shop, basically telling on himself! Mike then tells me that I need new valve cover $500( which I had checked before a couple days before I took it to this shop and it was fine) and new camshaft intake $160 a piece. Plus labor wanted 1200. Took my car to Lonnies auto shop so could fix what he f***ed up. DO NOT GO HERE.
Best auto service in Daytona Beach. I would not take my car anywhere else. Will not try to rip you off. They only repair what needs to be done at a very reasonable price. BEST AUTO SERVICE AROUND! Been a customer for 20 years.
After dealing with years of over priced and along with poor results I was delighted to be referred to Woods Auto Repair on Mason Avenue. No matter what the problem is, they take care of it quickly all at a very fair price. They have backed up every job they have done for me, I feel safe when I drive away from Woods knowing my truck with be running right. Very nice guys, fun personality! Hope you give them a try, you will not be disappointed!
WORST experience with a tow truck driver I EVER had. You would have thought they were IMPOUNDING our car by how they treated us. My wife just had a wreck. She called Arrow, they were close. They quoted us 40 mins. She showed up after an hour and a half. Promptly put the car on the flat bed and told us the payment would be $60. My wife only had $40 cash. She asked the driver if they accepted cards, which they did. My wife told the driver we had to stop home and get the card. We would meet her at the mechanic. Here's where everything gets weird... My wife couldn't find her credit card, so we went to the shop with my debit card and I told the driver I would pay the bill from my account. She was very rude and told me I wasted her time and should have just paid her in the beginning instead of making her wait. I apologized (even though I had no reason to, we were up front and honest with her) and she took my card and license and wend back her truck to start the payment process. After a few minutes she comes out of the truck with an itemized receipt. GET THIS: $60 for the hook (just to hook up the car and drive it to our chosen destination) $35 for spraying down the bed to the truck because radiation fluid leaked on it! REALLY!? oh it gets better Yelp! $25 for the 15 minutes she had to wait while we were getting our card!$25 for 15 mins?! That's $100 an hour! Who knew being a tow truck driver paid so we'll. I should tell my lawyer that he's in the wrong business! I should have charged her for making us wait while she was running late! Then a $10 credit card processing fee. I tossed around the idea of going to the bank and getting cash to avoid the fee, but the bitch would have charged me another $25 for making her wait. I was stuck! There's was nothing I could do but sign. Nothing on their website mention these charges. SCAM. Your customers are experiencing a tragety and you treat them like garbage. A little compassion while you gouge their wallets would be nice! AVOID
Worst Towing Company Ever! They were asked to tow a motorcycle after a wreck and this is how the left it, the kickstand was not broken. A call was placed to there office about the incident and nobody ever returned the phone call. When I complained about it and said Luckys Towing would have never done something like this, the lady on the other end said well they haven't even been in business that long. The motorcycle wasn't damaged on the right said, because the bike was laid down on the left, so they caused the additional damage on the right. I told the person on the other end of the telephone, that if I didn't hear back from someone, I would make sure I let the community know what kind of company Arrow Towing is, she said don't threaten me lady, I said its not a threat its a promise. So hear it is my complaint!! If your going to have something towed use LUCKYS TOWING
I took my car to AAMCO due to the car drive funny. They stated I needed a new transmission and they quoted me 3600. They stated if I kept driving the car I could cause serious damage. I took my car to another transmission shop for a second opinion. They stated I needed to replace the solenoid in the transmission. It cost me. $300 and I have been driving for the last month with no issues. Don't take your car to AAMOCO unless you want to get ripped off.
This is the worst company EVER! Do not attempt to do business with them! I tried to buy a wrecked car from them that I negotiated over the phone with Amanda Balboa. I offered to pay over the phone on 4/20/2017 since I was out of town but she said no just come in on Saturday 4/22/17 when I get back with cash and it is yours. Today 4/21/17 on my way back to FL Amanda Balboa calls me at 9:30 am and states that someone else offered her more for the car and did I still plan on coming in on Saturday morning to buy the car, I replied yes or that I could be there by 7pm today. She advised that she would have to check with her boss, again I offered to pay over the phone but she declined. Adam Balboa calls me about 1:30 pm today 4/21 and said the car was sold to someone else who was willing to pay more! I said how could you do that when I made the deal with Amanda! He said that's too bad then hung up on me! This business does not have any integrity whatsoever and their word means absolutely nothing! Buyers beware and do not support this business! Unscrupulous! I have all the documented test messages from Amanda and myself about the purchase of the car at a specific price. And I am sure that the IRS and the State of FL would be interested that she wanted me to pay CASH for the transaction! Obviously everything happens for a reason so I am sure Karma will come back to bite them!
The staff at Precision Auto are wonderful. They were honest and explained what needed to be done and why it was needed. They went above and beyond to keep us informed and give friendly, quality service. We were very pleased with the service all around.

When we last left troubled billionaire Bruce Wayne, our boy was knee-deep in trouble, having ingratiated himself among some of Gotham's deadliest criminals in an attempt to find out who is pulling the strings behind the city's violent crime-wave.

In episode three of Telltale's series Batman: The Enemy Within, the rogue's gallery is set to grow as master-thief Selina Kyle, known in the underworld as Catwoman, returns to the series, hoping to cut her own slice of the prize out of the villains' mysterious masterplan.

Telltale Games' take on the Batman universe is coming to Nintendo Switch next week, with Season One of the interactive story-telling experience being released in both the eShop and the real shop.

The "Children of Arkham" arc was a five chapter story involving a whole new take on the Batman universe, in which Bruce is forced to face the sins of the father, quite literally. It received a fairly positive response, with critics praising its unique take on the DC Comic's superstars.

"This will be Telltale's first Mature-rated title on the system, so we're really excited not only to have our game on Switch but also to approach a new audience with a game we're really proud of," said Executive Producer Sean O'Connor. "We think our unique take on Batman is a great way to introduce Nintendo fans to Telltale's style of storytelling."

Satisfying endings aren't an easy thing to create in any medium, much less games. Developers are rarely pushed to provide a truly great ending, especially considering that statistically, only a fraction of players ever even see those endings in the first place.

To its credit, the latest episode of Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series does tie up a number of loose threads and serves to bring proceedings to a conclusion, while laying the seeds of potential stories for future (as yet unannounced) seasons. And yet, I can't help but come away from the saga feeling like this ending in particular was made with the intention of just wrapping things up, rather than doing truly right by the stories and characters told in the series thus far.

They call it burning bridges because fire brings about complete and unrelenting destruction. Fire doesn't discriminate. It ruthlessly eradicates everything in its path, bridges included. And, when it's all razed to the ground, there's fertile earth for life to start anew. It doesn't erase the memories of the damage, though.

Everything's on fire. Chloe's relationship with her mom. Chloe's enrollment status at school. Rachel's life at home. Arcadia Bay. The literal flames that backdrop so much of Brave New World are a blatant metaphor for the unavoidable emotional destruction in everyone's lives. Fire does what fire will do. We can only hope something positive will grow in its wake.

Life comes at you fast. Life is Strange: Before the Storm (arguably) comes at your faster. The original Life is Strange had some drama surrounding how far apart its episodes were released. Chloe's prequel story has no interest in dawdling about.

Square Enix revealed today that Life is Strange: Before the Storm: Brave New World will launch on Tuesday, October 19. It's the second of three installments, meaning that the game will likely be released in full before the end of the calendar year.

All we know about Brave New World is what this launch trailer shows us. Rachel Amber, more stepdad angst, and a Blackwell Academy robbery. The first episode did a fantastic job setting the stage for this short(ish) story. Just one week until we find out if this one can keep the momentum.

It was a few months ago at this point, but I remember being rather satisfied with Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series' third episode, proclaiming it a long-awaited payoff for the slow burn of the previous two installments.

Back when I reviewed More Than A Feeling, I finally felt like the choices I had made as team leader Peter Quill were building up, leading up to a world-changing - or at least plot-changing - climax, one that would begin with this new episode, Who Needs You.

I suppose that was a bit naive of me.

The second episode of Telltale Game's Batman series launched this week, but it was recently spotted by Twitter user BroTeamPill that the actual corpse of a murdered Russian diplomat featured in a still image, appearing briefly during the new episode's narrative.

You may remember the assassination of Russia's Turkish ambassador Andrei Karlov, who was shot dead last December during the opening of an art gallery in Ankara, a shocking event that was captured by the media in attendance. It appears that Karlov's corpse was shopped into the game from one of the photographs taken at the time, appearing on an in-game CCTV image showing a heist at the Gotham Brokerage.

Whilst we may never know whether this was just an unfortunate mistake by an artist, or (hopefully less likely) a sneaky joke done by a staff member, it is probably fair to assume that Telltale are working to remove the offending image.

I saw the scene in question myself when I reviewed the game, but it passed me by entirely. The image, and the photo it was captured from, can be seen in this article. Be warned that the pictures obviously feature an actual murder victim.

Hot off the revelations that took place at the conclusion of The Enigma, Batman continues his shaky three-way alliance with good friend Jim Gordon and cold government agent Amanda Waller. The unlikely trio work to uncover the frightening conspiracy behind "The Pact," a group of criminals currently undertaking raids for tools and weaponry, stockpiling for an as-yet undisclosed master plan.

Episode two sees the player investigating almost entirely as Bruce Wayne. The playboy billionaire, injured in a recent brawl, goes undercover to infiltrate Gotham's seedy underbelly, with guidance from obsessive frienemy, John Doe. Between this gang of criminal elite and Waller's sketchy Agency, Wayne is in danger of drowning in questionable associates.

Chloe Price isn't tough to role-play. Life is Strange's Max Caulfield felt like something of a blank slate. A thoughtful and mostly quiet young woman, malleable in how we wanted her to approach social interactions. There was a pressure to do right by Max, like the identity we were helping to carve was more important than all the supernatural disasters plaguing Arcadia Bay.

But we know what to expect from Chloe. Throwing two middle fingers in the air is what Chloe would do. Screaming "Fuck authority" is what Chloe would do. Burning down every meaningful relationship is what Chloe would do. She's about as subtle as a brick in the small of your back.

I have something of a complicated relationship with Kentucky Route Zero. It's single-handedly responsible for some of my personally most memorable moments in games over the past few years. The bar scene in act three made my whole body cold with awe. The end of act two was the closest I've ever been to wanting to make my own game.

But, these moments are few and far apart because Kentucky Route Zero is few and far apart. After the third installment, I resigned myself to just waiting until the whole thing was out. It'd probably be years, but that's fine. I'd rather wait it out and replay all of it together than struggle to remember what happened 24 months ago. Best I figure, I last thought about playing this game in May 2014.

It's disappointing only because Kentucky Route Zero is so incredible. I know it's incredible because I've reserved space in my brain where my official stance is "it's incredible," but I can't remember why it's incredible apart from those few outstanding scripted moments. I look forward to revisiting its narrative approach and being reminded why I fell in love in the first place.

Everyone thinks they can do a Harley Quinn impression. They can't. But you'll have opportunity to practice this September, when Telltale Games release the second episode of Batman: The Enemy Within.

Episode two, "The Pact", will feature everybody's favourite bad-guy-DC-desperately-wants-to-be-a-good-guy, Harley Quinn. Whilst there is little in the way of plot details to report, it can be assumed we'll learn a little more about the titular "pact," first referred to by Riddler during the brutal finale of episode one.

I quite like the look of Telltale Harley. Very cool, confident and badass... and those boots...

Umm, anyway, Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode Two will be releasing on PS4, Xbox One and PC on September 26. The iOS/Android ports of episodes one and two will also launch on the same day

The fact that it took about half a year and three installments for Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series to really take its place in the larger canon of "video games that do more than exist" is a point against Telltale's episodic business model. Half a year is a pretty long time to wait to get the sense that this is a worthwhile venture.

And yet, in light of the fact this third episode, More Than A Feeling, is the best of the series so far, I might be inclined to forgive Guardians of the Galaxy its earlier lollygagging.

[Update: Publisher Square Enix released the following statement:

"This was a mistake on our side and not our intention to gate the Platinum trophy via the optional Bonus Episode in the deluxe sku. We've already started speaking to the first parties about rectifying this."

Looks like all's quiet on the Life Is Strange front once more.]

Life Is Strange: Before the Storm is coming soon. The prequel to Dontnod's time traveling episodic adventure launches at the end of August, and just like its teenage cast, Before the Storm seems pretty fickle when it comes to sharing -- at least with its Platinum trophy.

I see you reading this summary before clicking. You don't have to click, but you'll miss one of the best gaming experiences in a long time. You may be thinking "I'm not really into adventure games, and I never played any of the original King's Quest games." You should will make an exception for at least one episode -- just one -- because this is one of the best gaming experiences many of you missed out on: King's Quest Episode One: A Knight to Remember.

I don't care if you choose to just watch it on YouTube, but get someone who does it justice. Dan and Ross on Steam Train have a good playthrough. Dan has the nostalgia for the old games, but even if you don't and wouldn't get all the references, it's a hilarious and touching adventure in the truest sense. I didn't get all the references as I never played the old games, but it's still superb in its own right and respects the original games without obnoxious nostalgia pandering.

No Man's Sky's newest patch has just landed and it brings with it a whole heap of extra content. The biggest surprise is that there is a brand new, 30-hour long campaign to work through. I'm sure fans of the game are just foaming at the mouth for more content to explore.

Along with that comes the sort-of multiplayer that was originally teased before launch. Called "joint-exploration," this feature lets you see orbs floating around on the various planets you'll encounter that indicate when another player is in the vicinity. Up to 16 orbs can appear at one time and you can even communicate with each other via voice chat.

The last major update to the game comes about as graphical tweaks. I can't say whether or not this trailer is pulling our legs (I haven't played the game), but it does seem to look a bit more lush.

I have always loved playing as The Bat. The Dark Knight lends himself well to video games, despite the fact he has starred in so many terrible ones. Recent years have been kinder to the character, however, as developers have finally nailed the template of making great games telling stories of Batman's insane, unending crusade against those who would bring harm to the people of Gotham City.

Following last year's Children of Arkham story arc, Telltale Games have returned with another yarn based around philanthropist Bruce Wayne and the war he wages among the opulent high-rises and grim ghettos of Gotham City. A war that he will finally admit he cannot fight alone, and that will force him to turn to some very questionable allies.

Telltale is going to be at San Diego Comic Con this weekend, but what they were bringing was a mystery until now. Ahead of the convention proper, the developer has announced sequels to three of its most popular series, including a Wolf Among Us 2. The other new games will be Batman: The Enemy Within (what is this, X-COM?) and The Walking Dead: The Final Season!

All of these games will be debuting on PC, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One with mobile ports to follow, though only Batman will be releasing this year with its debut coming on August 8. Both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us 2 will launch sometime in 2018. Each series will be five episodes long and Batman will be heading to retail with a "Season Pass" disc that contains the first episode and a download voucher for the remaining four. How fun...

As for specifics on each new season, The Walking Dead will focus on Clementine yet again and the new Batman season will feature the Riddler and The Joker with an option to import saves from the first season (much like The Walking Dead).

At what point do we stop holding out for another Wolf Among Us? Realistically, are we past it?

I ask, but in truth, I don't think I'm capable of letting go. There isn't a single other Telltale episodic series I'd like to see continued more than this (the only thing that comes close is Tales from the Borderlands). Fables is a rich property with so many characters and stories left for the studio to explore.

I'm not alone in expressing this sentiment. Over the weekend, Telltale tweeted this:

News coming this week during #SDCC... 👀 pic.twitter.com/5er6wGpkoP
— Telltale Games (@telltalegames) July 15, 2017

And the response was a whole lotta calls for The Wolf Among Us season two. (And also a bunch of replies with that still-funny-as-hell animation of Bigby Wolf pole dancing. A veritable classic.) Rather curiously, Bigby and Woodsman voice actor Adam Harrington retweeted the tease.

I'm not going to get my hopes up just yet, in part because a rating for Batman: The Enemy Within has surfaced in New Zealand (via NeoGAF), and that sure sounds like a believable course of action. I don't think any of us will be surprised to see that series pick back up sooner than later.

We'll see what's what soon enough. SDCC's first full day is this Thursday.

Agent 47, consummate professional that he is (here's a video of him kicking a toilet onto someone's head), is always looking to improve. In his line of work, staying alive is a secondary objective right behind efficient killing. Now he's a bit better at both of those.

Hitman developer IO Interactive has just rolled out update 1.12.1, and its main purpose is seemingly to make things just a little easier for 47. Combat has been tweaked to slow the fire rate of enemy pistols, reduce damage taken at mid- to long-range distances, speed up the lock-on animation with aim assist enabled, and increase rate of health regeneration.

However, these changes don't alter the Professional difficulty, which is available much sooner as of today. Now, Mastery level 5 is required to unlock a level's Professional mode. Before, it was level 20. Here's where amateurs can find out how tough it is to be an elite assassin.

Otherwise, this patch is mostly full of fixes to make Hitman a better game (improved loading times on Xbox One is probably the most notable of them). It's just in time for Season One's final elusive target contract that releases tomorrow. Here's the full list of update notes, as outlined by IO:

After a rocky few months, Hitman developer IO Interactive have announced that the game's final Elusive Target, "The Entertainer," will launch on Friday, July 14.

For the last contract of Hitman's first season, Agent 47 has to eliminate Mr. Giggles. Giggles, according to IO, will be located in Marrakesh. Players will have to take him down within ten days before he disappears forever.

Robert Kirkman's suave Bondian comic book, Thief of Thieves, will be coming to a PC near you in video game form, courtesy of Skybound Entertainment.

Thief of Thieves, first published in 2012, is the story of debonair master-thief Conrad Paulson, who abandons his life of crime with plans for retirement, but not before ransacking the opulent homes of his fellow robbers, much to the anger of his former employers.

The video game, however, will see players take the role of Celia, Paulson's young protege, as she learns her trade from the master. The new trailer shows that the game has a classy, noir look, in keeping with its source material, and features Celia a-sneakin' and a-stealthin' around various locations, using strategic movement, disguises and shadows to avoid a variety of traps and armed guards.

It wasn't until 20 minutes into my half-hour Life is Strange: Before the Storm presentation that we were told this game doesn't have the rewind mechanic that was a staple of the original. Honestly, it wasn't even on my mind. It always felt like the weakest part of Life is Strange because developer Dontnod built a world where you wanted to be accountable.

The supernatural is gone this time and so is the emphasis on fixing things. Playing as brown-haired Chloe Price, Before the Storm is more about fucking things up. Max's story was about rewinding time to arrive at an optimal solution. Max, in theory at least, left her footprint by trying to make everything better. Chloe, a burgeoning hellion, is just out to get hers.

A good example came in the hands-off demo we were shown. At a divey rock club on the edge of town, Chloe wanted a band t-shirt. The vendor, who was selling them out of the trunk of his car, wanted 20 bucks. Instead of forking over the cash, Chloe quietly released his parking break so that the car rolled out of the club. While he was distracted, she took a shirt and his $200 from sales. Then she paid a debt to a drug dealer (Frank from Life is Strange) and got a dimebag to boot.

Those rumors of a Life is Strange prequel ended up being true. Surprising absolutely no one, Square Enix showed off Life is Strange: Before the Storm during Microsoft's E3 conference. The biggest takeaway from the trailer was that this won't follow the typical five episode format of most episodic games, but will be chopped down to three.

The game will take a look at Chloe's years without Max before the events of the first game. Whether or not this will dilute the actual impact of the narrative in the original game is yet to be seen, but I guess getting some more HELLA will make us all better people.

The game will be launching on August 31 and will feature Xbox One X enhancements. I'm also sure it will be heading to PC and PS4, since it wasn't listed as a console exclusive.

For all the good that the latest Hitman game has, a lot of people are turned off by the episodic structure of its content. I suppose there isn't much IO can do to actually change how the game is coded, but you'll soon only have a single option for purchasing the game before season two kicks off.

In two weeks time, Hitman will be sold as a complete experience. The introduction pack and upgrade option will be discontinued in favor of a single option that includes everything. Individual episodes will also no longer be available on PC, though if you have only certain episodes, you'll be given discount pricing based on what content you have when buying into the full game.

On consoles, things are a little bit less clear. Xbox One owners will get a discount on "The Complete First Season" if they own any of the previous episodes. All episodes will still be available for regular purchase. PS4 owners won't receive any kind of legacy discount, but can still opt to buy episodes individually.

As for why this is now happening, IO has taken to their blog to explain the decision. "These changes have been planned since early March and will make it easier and simpler to buy the game. These changes will help us to lay the foundations for our future plans for Hitman." Hopefully this means that season two will release as a full game, but who knows?

When last we joined the Guardians of the Galaxy, Telltale had launched the first episode of its debut Marvel series. Titled Tangled Up in Blue, it seemed to capture the essence of the misfit superteam, but its narrative couldn't quite make the case for itself.

Now, in the warm afterglow of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 film, we receive the next episode of the season, Under Pressure. Will Telltale be able to ratchet up the tension a bit and convince players to stick around for more reason than mere attachment to the Guardians themselves?

For the debut episode of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, the studio amusingly settled on the title Tangled Up in Blue. That song-based trend continues with episode two, Under Pressure, which is now set for a June 6 release on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, and Android.

The second episode promises to dig into Rocket Raccoon's past, hence that key art up there, and there's also talk of the Guardians getting "help from dubious old friends and unwilling new allies."

Are any of you playing this yet? I briefly considered it after seeing and really enjoying Vol. 2, but then I tumbled into a rabbit hole of weird Yondu images that I've yet to crawl back out of.

I guess Telltale wasn't keen on waiting until next week to show off some of The Walking Dead's third season finale. With the episode releasing next Tuesday, now would be the opportune time to reveal anything before players get their hands on the game. Thankfully, this sidesteps being a pure gameplay trailer and talks mostly about the drama that Telltale's writers tried to concoct.

Anyone who purchased the third seasons of Telltale's Walking Dead series and has been anxiously waiting for the finale (or playing them as they come out, I guess) can now rest easy. The final episode of A New Frontier, titled From the Gallows, will be releasing on May 30 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, iOS and Android. In a blog post from Telltale, the company says this final episode is one of the most tailored releases they've ever done.

"Thanks to the nuanced relationships you've developed over the course of this season," the post starts, "'From the Gallows' will be Telltale's most tailored episode to date...The decisions you've made and bonds you've nurtured will determine which characters now trust Javi to safeguard all they hold dear as this crisis pushes every relationship past its breaking point."

As for a gameplay trailer, that won't be releasing until next week. Seeing as how the episode comes out in one week, I don't really know if there is a point in showing anything. I can't imagine there is a large percentage of people who buy only the final episode, but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, the end is almost nigh for A New Frontier and I'm eager to see if it manages to hold up (I've yet to start it).

It's only appropriate given the episodic, seasonal structure of Telltale's games, but the opening moments of most Telltale releases tend to start strong. Events like the heist sequence from Batman: The Telltale Series' first episode and the mounting dread of The Walking Dead Season 1's squad car ride serve an important purpose.

They act as concentrated statements, quickly laying out the mood of the story and in some cases establishing the characters and stakes, priming players for what to expect from the game as the season proceeds.

Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series manages this feat on the opening menu screen.

Almost a minute into the episode one launch trailer for Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy, seconds before Suzi Quatro kicks in and steals the show, the raccoon quips "We're just going deeper into the old creepy temple to stop a literal murderizing machine. What's the worst that could happen?" With an exaggerated sigh, Gamora retorts "So this is how I die."

Except it's probably not how Gamora or any of them die! Not yet, anyway! This is the first of five chapters and killing off the Guardians up front would leave antagonist Thanos and the "unspeakable power" to twiddle their thumbs for the remaining 80 percent. Not likely.

Or, maybe they do die. This is comic book territory and that means it can rely on Comic Book Magic to resuscitate any fallen cast. I change my vote. Now I think they die.

Find out tomorrow when Episode One: Tangled Up in Blue releases. For anyone who wants to read our thoughts, our review will post late tonight. I haven't read it yet, but I bet it doesn't shed any light on how many of the Guardians get killed off.

We first saw Telltale's take on Guardians of the Galaxy in early-ish March when a handful of screenshots were revealed ahead of PAX East. Now we get to see the crew in action, as Telltale has released a trailer for the series.

Although, "in action" is a bit of a nebulous concept here. Relatively few shots are of anything combative. The majority of the trailer is dedicated to the gang crackin' wise and a very slow descent down an elevator.

The more exciting stuff is just around the corner, though. Telltale recently announced that the first episode of Guardians of the Galaxy, titled Tangled Up in Blue, will release on April 18 for $5. We don't know much about this story's conflict, so this chapter is where we'll likely get to the (G)root of the problem. Despite what the name might imply, Bob Dylan is unfortunately not the villain, probably.

Before vanishing into the ether and becoming gaming's longest running gag, Half-Life 2 was actually supposed to get more than just one final episode. While we've only ever known the name of Arcane Studios Return to Ravenholm, some new images have surfaced from a project that Junction Point Studios was working on. While there is no official title, these screenshots show a snow covered Ravenholm. In other words, Alyx lied to you when she said, "We don't go to Ravenholm."

As for what these images pertain to, the head of Junction Point, Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Epic Mickey), has briefly spoken about this before. In an interview with Game Informer a few years ago, Spector detailed how his team was working on a new weapon called the Magnet Gun. The reason their episode never got finished was due to Junction Point striking a deal with Disney, a studio Spector always wanted to work with.

"So we were trying to flesh out a specific part of the world of Half-Life and we created a new tool. A thing we elegantly called the Magnet Gun, which I still wish they would do something with," Spector states in his interview. "We came up with so many cool ways to use a magnet gun that were completely different from anything [Valve] had done and was really freeform in its use. I still think it'd be cool, but when the deal with Disney really started to bear fruit, I just couldn't say no to Disney. I'd always wanted to work there, so we never completed the work with Valve."

Due to the wonders of the internet, you can actually tinker around with the prototype map files. As posted on ValveTime.net, you can read through a thread that explains what each map contains and how it may have pieced together to create a final product. If nothing else, I hope some prospective modder takes these files and glues them together. It would be neat to play what could have been, much like you can with the leaked Half-Life 2 beta.

We've known about Telltale's take on Guardians of the Galaxy for so long now that it seems crazy that we're just now getting an actual glimpse at it. It's true though! Four months ago, we got this Walkman floating through space, and it has been radio silence ever since.

Just one day away from PAX East, Telltale's speaking up. The developer released these four screens that are in the gallery below. Not exactly a stunning revelation, but it's something. It's more than a Walkman.

Also revealed are the people who are going to be playing these titular Guardians. The voice cast is as follows: Scott Porter (Star-Lord), Emily O'Brien (Gamora), Nolan North (Rocket), Brandon Paul Eells (Drax), and Adam Harrington (Groot).

The last revelation is when we can expect the first episode. Well, sort of. Telltale broadly says that the first episode of Guardians of the Galaxy will be available this spring. After that, it's anyone's guess. Telltale moves on its own schedule.

Bruce Wayne (Batman) has gotten himself into quite the predicament this time. That shouldn't be much of a surprise because, literally, every Batman story is about him getting into quite the predicament. Chalk holds in Telltale's adaption.

The finale releases tomorrow and it features a video game locale that we're used to. Arkham Asylum is the setting and all of its prisoners are mighty pissed at the Batman. There will probably be less freeflow combat and more weighty dialogue choices.

How Batman resolves this conflict will likely be more the overarching question than will he resolve it. Batman comes through clutch time and time again.

We had a hunch a few weeks ago, and that hunch proved true. Telltale's Marvel project that has been in the works since April 2015 will be based on Guardians of the Galaxy.

Like most Telltale titles, Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to PC, consoles, and mobile platforms. This story will be told in five parts, and it's "coming soon" -- sometime in 2017. That's all we know for now, but there will surely be more details in the very near future.

I know, I know -- you don't have time for more games as it is right now. I feel ya. But I also know that some of you have been patiently waiting for the first season of Hitman to wrap, and it has.

Here's a nudge. IO Interactive has slashed Hitman: The Complete First Season to $30 (half the normal price) on Steam until November 23. That bundle spans the training facility prologue, Paris, Sapienza, Marrakesh, Bangkok, Colorado, and Hokkaido, plus a bonus episode. While you've missed out on some of the limited-time "Elusive" targets that have popped up, IO is still making more of them.

I've yet to play some of the later environments even once, much less a handful of times to get a lay of the land and earn unlocks, but I quite like this game. I'm godawful at it, but it's good fun nonetheless.

Over the past four-and-a-half years, Telltale has been on a mission to make games with its unique style of storytelling that are based on any sort of popular franchise. From The Walking Dead to Game of Thrones to Minecraft -- Telltale will seemingly try to partner with anyone if the appeal is broad enough.

One of its next projects looks to go hand-in-hand with a piece of media that will have some of the most mass appeal: A blockbuster comic book movie. As reported by USGamer, the recent SAG-AFTRA voice actors' strike lists Guardians of the Galaxy as one of the titles its not striking against. It's placed right next to The Walking Dead: Season 3, and both games are named under O'Farrell Enterprises which is the production company that handles a lot of the voice over for Telltale.

This reveal falls right in line with a report from April 2015 that Telltale inked a deal with Marvel to create a game based on one of its properties. That project was said to be scheduled for 2017. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 releases on May 5, 2017. Everything lines up perfectly.

We've reached out to Telltale Games for comment on this issue. We haven't received a response at time of publishing. We'll update this article if/when Telltale responds.

 tag:https://www.destructoid.com/,2017:/post.phtml?pk=397435Peter Glagowskihttp://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Peter+GlagowskiHitman Season 2 is officially in the works2016-11-04T10:36:00Z2016-11-04T10:36:00Z
Those who enjoyed this year's episodic Hitman will be happy to know that the journey isn't over for Agent 47. In an interview with GamerGen at Paris Games Week, Eidos confirmed that Season 2 is in the works. There isn't an exact count of episodes, but we were given an idea of how the previous content will factor into this new season.

According to the post, the game will utilize the same launcher as before. All new locations will be added on to the previous cities; some missions may even revisit older locations from the last season. Any unlocks earned will carry over into the new missions. Last but not least, Elusive Targets will make a return and will be featured on Season 1 and 2 maps.

While I'm not the biggest fan of revisiting locales, I can understand it with an episodic game. Reusing assets would make for a quicker turn around on content and allow the developers to milk each area for all it's worth. If the price is higher than the first season, though, I wouldn't be too happy.

People close to me would know that I pay far too much attention to news and politics for my own good, despite it being quite a soul-crushing affair more often than not. Of course, this does mean that I've become quite interested in the games and medias that try to discuss or tackle subjects relating to news and current events.

Developed by Osmotic Studios, Orwell is an episodic game that very clearly takes inspiration from current events, such as the leaking of several documents relating to online mass surveillance by Edward Snowden, as well as other politically-motivated games like Papers, Please. In it, you'll play as a surveillance operative who utilises a classified piece of software commissioned by The Nation in order to spy on the online activities of people who are deemed to be threats.

The first episode of Orwell is currently available on Steam as a free demo, although access to the full season will cost $10 USD. New episodes will be released on a weekly basis until the 17th of November, meaning that there will be five in total. According to the publisher, Surprise Attack Games, each episode will take approximately one hour to complete.

Feel free to check out the trailer below:

Despite the fact that I'm holding off on Telltale's Batman episodic adventure, I like to hear how things are coming along. It's inevitable that I'll get around to it, and the sooner the full season is out, the better. That sentiment also goes for The Odd Gentlemen's still-in-development King's Quest run, which I've struggled to not start. Episodic gaming can be a real patience-tester.

With Realm of Shadows and Children of Arkham wrapped, it's nearly time for the third Batman episode, New World Order. That'll drop on Tuesday, October 25 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The summary sounds like a typical Telltale romp: "Penguin's brutal attack broadcast on live TV has left Gotham City reeling. As Bruce and Batman, you'll dig deeper into the web of intrigue surrounding the newly revealed Children of Arkham. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, the mysterious Selina Kyle reveals more of herself to Bruce. And in the aftermath of the attack, Bruce's friend and Gotham's new mayor, Harvey Dent, is a deeply changed man. Who can be trusted when the future of Bruce Wayne - and the Batman - could be determined by the flip of a coin?"

I'm eager for IO Interactive to wrap up Hitman not just because I'm enjoying it so far, but because I want folks who are opposed to its episodic structure to play it and have a good time, too. There are a few locations left to go, including Thailand, the United States, and Japan. Then what?

Responding to a tweet asking about a potential second season, the official Hitman account tweeted back, "Of course, our plan is to have three seasons. Although Season Two hasn't been confirmed yet."

That's one way to open the floodgates! In a follow-up post on the Square Enix forums, community manager Chris Murphy clarified where IO Interactive is actually at with development and why it can't really say anything beyond acknowledging that, yeah, more Hitman is likely.

"Over the course of the last 12 months we had the pleasure to talk to many media representatives across the globe," wrote Murphy. "We always pointed out the fact, that this is the beginning of a great journey for us. We planned out an intricate storyline that spans across several seasons, and our ambition is to continue and unfold it with future Hitman games. That being said, our whole focus and attention is without a doubt on Season 1 right now, providing the very best Hitman experience possible. It's far too early to talk about what's next, before we haven't even finished this journey. We really want to process all our learnings from Season 1 from every possible angle. Only then we're in a good and solid position to think and talk about what's possibly in store for the future."

You won't have to rewind time to make good on this new offer from Square Enix. Starting tomorrow, Life is Strange episode one is free on all platforms, and it looks like it'll stay that way forever. Not a bad deal!

The first installment, Chrysalis, focuses heavily on world-building and getting to know protagonist Max Caulfield. It's an episode that emphasizes exploration, and that's where some of Life is Strange's finest moments come from.

In our review in January 2015, I gave Chrysalis an 8.5 and said that it's an introduction that really sets the table more than anything else. That's usually what you can expect from a first episode. Just don't be surprised if you want to dig deeper after playing this.

Due to the short development time developers have had with the Vive and Steam's seemingly non-existent quality control, most things available for the Vive are cynical Unity store asset flips or simple basic experiences.

Currently, there are around 200 different pieces of software on Steam for the HTC Vive -- and of the ones I've played, I can honestly say that The Gallery is my favorite, and the only game built with motion controlled virtual reality in mind that resembles a traditional experience.

Many people could be forgiven for mistakenly thinking that Telltale Games came into existence with The Walking Dead - Season 1. That's where Telltale hit its first real home run with episodic content of mainstream properties, and its the reason that the developer is as well-known as it is today.

But, the truth is that Telltale made a whole lot of video games before The Walking Dead. They're celebrated, sure, but they don't have that same kind of popularity. The newly-launched Humble Telltale Games Bundle offers a cheap look at some of the studio's earlier work, along with the opportunity to pick up some of its more recent titles.

Anyone willing to contribute $1 or more to the Humble sale will receive Back to the Future: The Game, Sam & Max: Devil's Playhouse, Poker Night at the Inventory, Puzzle Agent 1 & 2, and The Walking Dead - Season 1.

For the more fiscally liberal, contributing more than the sale's average ($6.61 at time of writing) will get all the games in the $1 tier and The Walking Dead: 400 Days, The Wolf Among Us, Poker Night 2, and Tales from the Borderlands. And, donating more than $12 nets all the other titles, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead - Season 2. That's a lot of episodes for a Hamilton and two Washingtons.

As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. That might have happened with Minecraft: Story Mode. The first four episodes of the season released within two and a half months of one another, and I had been pretty lukewarm on them. Nothing was especially bad, but it seemed like Telltale was just checking boxes toward its mediocre production.

Objectively, Order Up! isn't a whole lot different from the previous episodes. It has one thing going for it that the others didn't: it's self-contained. Even so, I found myself enjoying this final installment more than the others, and I suspect it's largely because of the three-month break since Episode Four.

In true Telltale style, games that were once digital-only will eventually be available as a tangible product. In the past, it has been the likes of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. Now, Tales from the Borderlands gets that treatment.

2K Games announced today that a physical disc-based edition of Tales from the Borderlands is being produced for both the PS4 and Xbox One versions. It'll be in stores on April 26 in North America. The price is set at $29.99, which has been the initial cost of all Telltale discs.

Anyone who appreciates Borderlands, Telltale games, or just a well-told story might want to treat themselves to Tales from the Borderlands. It's held in high regard by a good number of our staff. Darren reviewed all five episodes and they all received impressive scores, culminating in a perfect ten for episode four. Also, Gortys may have been my favorite thing in video games last year. So dang good.

The last time I got a new phone, the Verizon rep asked me if I'd like to trade in my old phone for credit toward accessories -- specifically a case for it. I politely declined and she was shocked. "You mean you don't want a case for your new phone?" she prodded. "Nah, I'm good," I replied. "I'm careful."

Maybe it's because I haven't learned the hard way, but I hate phone cases. I love the form factor of all the phones I've ever bought. Why would I want to make it bulkier and more cumbersome? That seems like it's defeating the purpose.

All that background is necessary to say that there is now one phone case I like: this Life is Strange "Go Fuck Your Selfie" case. It's perfectly vulgar and wonderfully ironic. This was destined to be a case ever since Victoria delivered that line in episode one.

The problem is that I don't know if this is meant for mass manufacturing. It's existence is made known courtesy of one of the game's marketing staff. There's nothing about it on the publisher's official store. It might just be promotional and for those who worked on the game. If so, reverse course and sell these, Square Enix! They're hella-cool.

Ex-Blizzard developers have banded together to produce new episodic horror game, Broken.

Said to be inspired by games like The Walking Dead, The Last of Us and Half-Life, the new studio - Kollide Entertainment - wants to develop a narrative-driven, action-adventure horror game.

"Broken is an episodic third-person action adventure game series set in the year 2021," states the Kickstarter. "This is an original story that follows the personal adventure of Logan Kyle, a Navy Seal, and his family as they experience the end of the world on the front lines of an extremist group's catastrophic global biological weapon attack, resulting in death and a rare, but most horrific mutation."

"Broken's focus is 100% story driven; all aspects of the game will support that goal. We will be doing away with some of the time draining staples of the current action-adventure scene such as repetitive puzzle-based level design, arbitrary collection artifacts, obscenely difficult enemy spawn encounters, and superfluous achievements."

"Essentially, our goal is to offer unique immersive story experiences and to streamline gameplay such that returning to our game in between gameplay sessions is as seamless as possible. Ever stopped playing a game for a few weeks only to return to it and have no idea what the controls were? Yeah, us too."

The Kickstarter seeks $275,000 by the end of the month and offers a breakdown of how it intends to use contributions to complete the pre-production process.

For more, head on over to the Kickstarter page for pics, info, and even a lovely video.

Broken is scheduled to hit PC/MAc first, with "future plans" to bring it to Xbox One, PS4, and mobile devices. What do you think, horror fans?

Four episodes down, one to go. That's if, like Darren, you're playing Minecraft: Story Mode on something other than Wii U. For that port, you'll have to wait a few more days.

The first episode, The Order of the Stone, releases on the Wii U eShop in North America and Europe on January 21, 2016. It'll be $4.99, with the option to buy the full season pass for $19.99. Telltale says it expects later episodes to grace the Nintendo console "in the coming weeks."

As for system-specific features, you're looking at "off-TV play and mirroring, so players can continue the story on the Wii U GamePad controller, as well as seamlessly integrated touch-control options that allow players to use the joysticks and buttons or simply tap and guide the story directly on the screen at any time."

I can't say this one is high up on my list of "episodic adventures to just hurry up and play already." Not while The Walking Dead: Season Two and King's Quest are sitting patiently on my PS4.

Got an investment idea that just can't lose? Enter it in the first annual Ira Sohn Investment Idea Contest.
But be warned: it will be reviewed by a panel of judges who've had a few successful investment ideas of their own, including Michael Price, Bill Ackman, David Einhorn, Joel Greenblatt and Seth Klarman.
Contest participants are asked to submit their best investment idea; selections can be any marketable security (long or short) with a market capitalization above $1 billion. The winner will be selected based on the judges' determination of the most compelling investment idea with a one-year horizon.
The winner will present the investment idea before an audience of approximately 2,000 people during the 16th annual Ira Sohn Investment Conference. The conference was founded in 1995 in memory of Ira Sohn, a successful Wall Street trader who died of cancer at the age of 29.
The conference gives portfolio managers, asset allocators and private investors an opportunity to learn about the strategies and specific investment ideas of the world's best investors. Funds raised from the conference support the treatment and cure of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. To date, the event has raised more than $20 million.
This year's conference will be held May 25, 2011 at New York City's Frederick P. Rose Hall, the home of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Further information can be found here.
