Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=COSTA;39463428]They're preparing "launch" titles to go with the Piston's official announcement probably[/QUOTE] Piston?

[QUOTE=Purple Gecko;39463404]Kingdom rush isn't coming to steam is it. Well I feel bad now.[/QUOTE] Its #6 this month according to the developers so it still has a chance.

I just find it strange that the Halos could be potentially sold on Steam, what with the Games for Windows Live Marketplace/Windows 8 Games already being an avenue for distribution (albeit a not so great one.) Halo PC uses Gamespy for it's online services, but Halo 2 uses GFWL and I'm going to assume that Halo 3 will, unless they've come to their senses and incorporated Steam for their online components, but it still strikes a very weird chord in my mind, doesn't feel very MS like.

[QUOTE=fendermcbender;39463490]Well, there was that one time during the Summer Sale where "STOP LOOKING AT THIS" was added to the registry[/QUOTE] Woah really? Dammit I never get to know the cool stuff.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39463498]Piston?[/QUOTE] You know, Valve's fabled console. Which is basically a modified Xi3 computer. If they settle up with that of course.

It's because they know that they'll sell more by being more widely available.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39463498]Piston?[/QUOTE] It's not called the Piston, but Valve's computer they're making.

Seems that the vaccinator beam doesnt work in the thirdperson plugin Its my problem or it also happens to you guys?

Which makes a re-release all that more odd. I don't think Bungie or MS own the Halo CE Mac port either, which makes its re-release unlikely also (on Mac). Halo promos would be... interesting to say the least.

Marlamin added a hub support and the system added some unknown games that have hubs to the app list. It's Valve's fault.

[QUOTE=COSTA;39463553]You know, Valve's fabled console. Which is basically a modified Xi3 computer. If they settle up with that of course.[/QUOTE] Nah, the Piston/Xi3 computer was just supported by Valve after they didn't reach their target on kickstarter. The actual steambox is something completely different, and there's no real information on the specs yet as far as I know.

Isn't Steambox just a list of specifications a pre-built computer must meet and they get a little sticker that says "Steambox!" ? I didn't think it was actually any specific model.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39450221]Refresh my memory, what was it that we wanted fixed?[/QUOTE] Good question.

[QUOTE=Onyxical;39464893]Good question.[/QUOTE] Loch-N-Load?

I will wreck all of you faggots with my Recon+katana, 1v1 me in toilet bowl, I call being brown team. I haven't spent a Friday night in a Halo 3 16 person custom game lobby in years. I will cry a river if this is just a trolling, then again, if this was a trolling, wouldn't Valve be in some legal trouble with MS for using the name Halo if this was just a joke?

Am i wrong, or do the Blue Pyro and Demo NECA figures have different promos from the Red Pyro and Demo? Because both colors are limited to 10k each and come with codes.

[QUOTE=Yukinari;39465871]Am i wrong, or do the Blue Pyro and Demo NECA figures have different promos from the Red Pyro and Demo? Because both colors are limited to 10k each and come with codes.[/QUOTE] I don't think the BLU figures are even out yet.

[QUOTE=tempunary;39466033]I don't think the BLU figures are even out yet.[/QUOTE] They said the BLU figures will ship around the end of April if I remember right.

all these additions seem to be for some kind of promotion or something. The KoF page is kind of weird now with blurry images of KoF, seems very teasery, like they wanted us to find the page. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/games/222940[/url] Weird wonder how TF2 is going to be wrangled into this.

Or some all-class Fatal Fury ballcap. Those would be cool.

[QUOTE=Sliferjam Jones;39462137]Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Fez, Angry Birds, Quantum Conundrum 2, Second Life, and a bunch of other games are coming to steam [URL="http://www.gamechup.com/steam-database-shows-fez-dyad-halo-3-and-plenty-of-entries/"]apparently[/URL]. Who wants to bet the Angry Birds guys try to get a TF2 promo with all the merchandising they do? If they do I bet it would be something like the Hero Academy promos, or a slingshot.[/QUOTE] Fun fact: there are over 25 000 different Angry Birds themed products. Fun fact 2: For a few months, the Angry Birds cola was #1 soft drink in Finland. I'm thinking about a balloonicorn-like flying red bird or explosive black birds that replace grenades.

SecondLife also showed up in the registry. Now THERES a game that could have interesting promos.

[QUOTE=Shinx;39469456]SecondLife also showed up in the registry. Now THERES a game that could have interesting promos.[/QUOTE] Maybe they're finally giving misinformation their all. [editline]4th February 2013[/editline] I don't want Anshe Chung meeting Yanis Varoufakis.

Default Untextured wooden box promo would be funny since thats the default Item that appears when you use the build tool.
