Gas Powered Games is at the Consumer Electronics Show to showcase its latest action role-playing game, one that will strip out a lot of the complex role-playing gameplay that pervaded its spiritual predecessor, Dungeon Siege. To that effect, Space Siege is more of an action game with light RPG elements to it, but one that promises quite a bit of replayability. Like Dungeon Siege, you play from an isometric overhead camera perspective, looking down at Walker as he navigates the detailed interiors of the colony ship. These aren't dynamically generated randomly like they were in Dungeon Siege, but the advantage is that each of the handmade levels will feature a lot more personality and scripted moments.
Steam’s deal of the day for October 9th is Space Siege. Also the sale will end in 24 hours, hence the “deal of the day”, so you have until 1pm EST or 10am PST tomorrow to grab this deal. Below is a description on the game as well as some important information.
GamersGate is offering up a free copy of Space Siege for those who pre-order upcoming action RPG Alpha Protocol before its release.
Today is the sixth day in our Steam Holiday Sale featuring an all-new set of deep discounts for today only! The gift of giving just keeps on giving and I can't hold back any longer so here are the daily deals for today:
Space Siege - 75% Off
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box - 75% Off
The Orange Box - 50% Off
Prey - 85% Off
Killing Floor - 75% Off
looks like they removed Prey, bought it for £1.35 i think but looks like they swapped it with Bioshock at £3.50, not bad :)
85% off was a total steal for Prey, 85% is pretty much a total steal for anything though, right? I mean, a big budget game with innovative plays on gravity, for the price of an iPhone noise maker app.
It's a shame they ran out of keys though, it's ridiculous that a digital distribution store can run out of keys. I guess 2K only authorised x thousands to be sold at that price, but you can't even buy Prey at full price anymore.
Steam is pushing ahead with fantastic sales, and the publishers just can't keep up. Here's to more great deals.
Steam has always had some sick deals every weekend, but this last week has been incredible. Just bought Bioshock and Burnout for a total of $12.50. I like the idea of not having to pay a sales tax either.
For BioShock:
Minimum: Operating System: Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) or Windows Vista, CPU: Intel single-core Pentium 4 processor at 2.4GHz, System RAM: 1 GB, Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM and Pixel Shader 3.0 (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550), Sound Card: 100% direct X 9.0c compatible sound card, 8GB of free hard drive space.
Recommended: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor; System RAM: 2GB; Video Card: DX 9 - Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB RAM and Pixel Shader 3.0 (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better), DX 10 - NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better; Sound Card: SoundBlaster(r) X-Fi(tm) series (optimized foruse with Creative Labs EAX ADVANCED HD 4.0 or EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 compatible sound cards);
No, it won't.
But whatever your next machine is, will be able to run it. Bioshock won't get any cheaper, you may as well buy it now, your Steam account will follow you forever.
Thanks, I had a feeling it probably wouldn't, but I am planning on getting a new comp upon graduating college in May. I'll pick it up now and play it before getting Bioshock 2 later.
