Valve / Steam / Steam Machines, General Discussion v2.0- "Is Steam Down again?" - Games

[QUOTE=Theuaredead;48460000]There's one GitHub account, but many GitHub thingys, like one for Source Base 2013, one for Half-Life 1, one for SteamVR, and more[/QUOTE] Repositories

Okay, so this is from GAF. Apparently L4D3 will be revealed at PAX running on the Vive. No source has been given. Only that someone in the know let this slip. Obviously take it with a grain of salt. PAX is two weeks from now, so the wait won't be long.

Here's the post: [url]http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=175534242&postcount=9281[/url] again, it's vague as hell. We'll see in two weeks.

Honestly, I wouldn't be suprised if the L4D shit is real

I honestly expect Left 4 Dead 3 to come with both survivors and infected customization and a dedicate in-game shop

I think the monetization aspect might launch later. Like it did with Dota and GO.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;48465179]Honestly, I wouldn't be suprised if the L4D shit is real[/QUOTE] It's definitely not that big of a stretch, really. Zombie shooter + the HTC Vive controller reloading technique from Hover Junkers would make such a great launch title for the Vive.

Shit, I got an e-mail titled "Steam Wallet Code." I thought this was my late reward for doing some GitHub survey awhile back so I redeemed it like $50. It showed me Steam's horribly broken currency conversion then it went through Hours later I get a receipt from PayPal for thirty one eurodollars So I changed all my PayPal details in case I got compromised (they used my balance not my credit card), but how do I chargeback the suspicious netherlands/french/german/polish company without getting my [i]Steam account[/i] banned?

We'll see in two weeks.[/QUOTE] fantasizing about valve releasing a game, even if it's not half-life 3, makes me so happy. if this is true, then i'm surprised no one leaked a screenie of l4d3, unless valve learned their lesson from half-life 2 and made their database as secure as possible.

I'd be pretty psyched for a new L4D, honestly. For some reason it is one of my favorite games, and I still play it nearly every day.

That's not L4D3 though, but L4D2 ported to Source 2 with Source 1 assets (like those trees).

Sorry if I'm late, but are the Skyrim and Ark inventory tabs new? I swear they weren't there the other day [t]http://i.imgur.com/UAs0pIc.png[/t]

Skyrim was since paid mods, ARK? No idea.

A friend brought up a concept that valve may choose to implement in a left for dead game. Imagine them pulling a csgo and the ability to buy weapon finishes :scream::scream::scream:

[QUOTE=jazzpunk;48470762]snip[/QUOTE] if it is true (keyword: if) that the title will not have a 3 in the title and will be replaced with a subtitle, then it would be humorous and validate valve's tradition of not using the number 3.

[QUOTE=Minelayer;48471949]I don't think as many people would go for cosmetics in an l4d-style game.[/QUOTE] Microtransactiony cosmetic stuff aaaalways works in cooperative games. Just like Portal 2!

As far as the actual post goes, I'm 99% sure that it's a load of shit. Putting aside that his is the third supposed 'valve playtester' leak that I've seen for L4D3, I see no credibility at all. Not to mention, many of the gameplay design choices are nonsensical at all from a development perspective. Including having one of the survivors have completely different melee animations from the others, and having you play as 4 unnamed scientists specifically for one map. Valve tries to stay away from features you can only use once, ie they want to make stuff they can use again and again or its a waste of time, and therefore, having someone model and rig four completely unique scientist models just for one map sequence just doesn't make sense. Some other notables from the other 'leaks' I've seen are talking about special infected. One of them was called 'The Pitcher', which was basically a charger that stood at doorways and ladders and threw shit at you, and the other in another leak was this meat wall that was like 9 stories tall and slowly moved across the map crushing everything.

Also I like these fake leaks. I find it funny that one of them might be true but we wouldn't believe it. Not even Valve cares about these leaks because they are like "People won't believe him, so whatever".
