Boo on nvidia optimization. Premium price for minimal performance gains. Not to mention the new consoles have AMD hardware.

E3 announcements would be a miracle

SteamFirst3638d ago

Pretty sure we can count on that next year. This year, not so much

-Foxtrot3638d ago (Edited 3638d ago )

(sigh)

Heard that line far too many times :(

raistra3638d ago

They never announce anything at E3, just wait for some mysterious site to pop up or something. Or like Rockstar, they just release a trailer. They're one of those companies that are too cool for an announcement at E3. I do hope for an announcement of atleast something this year, which will most likely be L4D3.

Yui_Suzumiya3638d ago

He's right! There is a 3 after E after all :3

SteamFirst3638d ago

Knowing Steam, they will have a banner post up on their site announcing something huge. They aren't the most in your face at E3 types.

Manio313638d ago

Do people really think Half Life 3 will live up to the hype?

3638d ago
Eamon3638d ago

I'm sure it'll be a great game.

But I don't think anything can live up to the hype HL3's developed.

Ipunchbabiesforfun3638d ago

Haha, sad admission, i've still never even played Half Life 1 or 2.

Eamon3638d ago

You should be executed for such blasphemy.

kingduqc3638d ago

Even if deliver half of it's hype it's still going to be game of the decade.

Linsolv3638d ago

Depends on how hyped you, personally, are.

There's no chance it's going to be so good that it needed 13 years.

The only thing we can really hope for is that it's a good, solid game that doesn't let everyone down (so no 'Duke Nukem Forever' outcome). I think, for most people, that would be enough.

Mr Tretton3638d ago

I'm a huge fan, and I have zero hype for HL3 because I'm not a spazz. We've be shown nothing, so there is nothing be hyped over. Only a fool would hype themselves over thin air. idk, I'm a 32 year old man. I'm hyped for absolutely nothing anymore in this life. I patiently enjoy things as they come and find other interests in life. I 'wait' for nothing.

Unannounced Valve 6v6 Shooter MOBA Footage Leaked

ESTNN writes: "A leak for Valve's 6v6 3rd-person shooter MOBA has supposedly been released ahead of time. And if the reports are true, fans of the genre have much to be excited for."

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago

Deadlock looks like bioshock and Moba had babies

JunonZanon1d 1h ago

Valve really cannot count to 3.

Number1TailzFan23h ago

They should've had a new L4D like 10 years ago, it can be expanded upon a lot more but they just left it collecting dust.. it was a good game for its time but L4D2 doesn't have nearly enough content these days to keep players engaged, and it needs a serious graphics upgrade

mastershredder23h ago

Nice bend at the knee there Gabe. Seriously? A quirky character arena shooter? This late into the me-too-shooter market? I thought you guys were so much better than that crap. Gabe must need a bigger yacht.

kitano194716h ago

clown comment, valve are famous for letting their devs work on whatever they want as they have no share holders to please. hence why we rarely get games from valve but when we do they generally are great.

icefrog, the original modder who created dota on warcraft 3 is working on this with some other members at valve.

thorstein6d ago

Nice. It's really cool that PC players get to play this masterpiece.

PrinceOfAnger6d ago

It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.

itsmebryan5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

@prince
I'm confused. Does that number mean total players at one time playing like a snapshot
or total sales? If it's the former that's not very accurate because I know I'm not the only person that buys games and plays them later and that number is not included.

RNTody6d ago

Great, I loved this game. Definitely think it's Sucker Punch's best work to date!

rippermcrip6d ago

Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.

Christopher6d ago

Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.

shinoff21835d ago

I came here to post this link in that specific article. 84 perce t is pretty good. How many bad reviews were there like 5

GamerzElite6d ago

This is good game and Ghost eliminate all fake outrage.

CrimsonWing696d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?

Fishy Fingers6d ago

Im not sure how its confusing :\

72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.

A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.

But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.

shinoff21835d ago

Lmao. How many swords swung. I was hoping for how many steps

wesnytsfs5d ago

And its how many years old from initial release.

Crows906d ago

72k is concurrent
...that is not the sold figure.

Michiel19896d ago

for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.

Plague-Doctor275d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI

elazz5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

72k concurrent. That is a global number. People who bought the game are not playing at the same time because of timezones, working schedules, holidays, events... There is no good rule of thumb but you can extrapolate based on other games that also released sales data. Then it is clear that the PC release alone accounts for at least 500K copies sold on steam, maybe closer to 700-800K. Probably will sell over a million this extended weekend.

According to steamspy and other data gathering sites games like Days Gone, Spider Man, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn have sold 2 to 5 million copies on Steam. So I expect Ghost to reach similar numbers. Probably even surpass it.
