akhliber: ...Nestalgia... I wouldn't be as interested if it was fully dependant on multiplayer, especially of the "massively" variety. It's described as having MMO gameplay, but also has a DRM-free edition and single player. Does anyone know if the Steam version has to be used for any multiplayer? Is local co-op an option (it's not listed as one on the Steam page, but I've found Steam to be a bit inconsistent with some of those details.)
Any thoughts on gameplay etc would be appreciated. :)
undeadcow: Despite claiming to be "DRM Free" is looks like Nestalgia requires an internet connection. The game page indicates "Requirements: Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8, DirectX 9 or higher,
Internet Connection" They do mention having their own dedicated servers so not dependent on Steam, I guess you just get a non-Steam download that requires log in to Silk's servers to play. Hopefully this is incorrect, I can't confirm anything first hand.
It looks like they have a download on the webpage, maybe trial edition but going slow for me (maybe work filters) -

FWIW according to Reddit: "NEStalgia has a bit of controversy attached to it. The developer allegedly "loves banning people" and does not take kindly to even the most constructive of criticism."
Nice, thanks for the info! Downloading the "Limited SP Demo" now to give it a shot. Curious how it plays and if it will play nice with Xpadder or similar gamepad software.
Eep, also good to know about the devs... Doesn't sound promising.
