if valve dies you can be sure that they will release an update to steam before they die that makes it so u dont need steam to play hl2/css or tf2 or any of their rudementary programs. At the same time you can be sure if valve dies that someone will buy out and take over steam. As its the first...
im playing half life 2 because ive never had moments in my gaming life as i spent with my cousin beating hl1 on hard the first time i played it. We stayed up for like 2 days straight. Taking turns lol, the way it was designed man back than there was nothing like it. And now it's finally that...
shampoo CE wont get you that book either. Prima is in charge of that book. Valve would have to do a buyback type deal to put that book in gold. That book is in limited quantity as far as i know. Thats why they arent giving that book with any particular product.
I dunno bout yall but steam is part of hl2's core unlike css. I dont see warez people doing much with hl2. Otherwise it would be out already. You can be sure the muppets responsible for halo/gta leaks are hunting hl2. You can also be sure they have other muppets working in the fab places. You...
CS2 is in the early planning concept stages. Tf2 is next
CSS will most likely be a test bed for alot of the CS2 concepts later on. Most of the technologies people recieved in the hl1.5 update were all test bed concepts for tf2. I.E. voice chat netcode etc. Thats one of the great things about...
More like millions upon =)
and your right alot of stores will get it before others.
and as for the screenshot of the cd's and box. It's fake. Bad job too when you zoom in.
Excuse me but releasing in 4 countries is not a global release. It is the first simultaneous global localized release in all MAJOR markets across the world.
show me another title that shipped localized versions to English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese...
How is anyone screwed? This is the first game thats getting a global release. Why is it when valve does things better than any other developer, people always find a way to make it bad ?
Ok im going to say it again. Steve gibson stated that if a retailer breaks the release date and release it early, steam users will get it released on that day. On a white board valve released there was a big heart and a bunch of sites around it, Gamespy, Gamespot, ign etc and inside the big...
The one thing I have to say about your post is the nature of console development vs PC development. Developing for a console is also far easier than PC's. Due to the nature of the console having locked feature sets while PC technology goes back to the legacy years, to DX9, to openGL. Not only...
No offense i dont want to get into a flame war over cards.
If you want to buy the best card out there get a x800xt pe
If you want to get the best card for your money get a 6800 gt
Do not get a x800 pro or an xt. If you are going high end but don't want a xt pe get a 6800 gt. It beats its...
Do you know anything about looking glass? It seems as if you don't. They went from self funded, with theif. A smash hit game of the year(it beat hl as goty). To being completly broke, actually in debt. Thief didnt even sell 1 million units. But millions of people played it... Think about that...
How about you just read looking glass's press release from when they shut down. They stated themselves piracy was a major factor. And forgive me i read what you wrote previously wrong. ToS came to mind.
The reason looking glass had major issues was because in the first thief they didn't do a...
While you can say what you wish aknot. That doesn't change the fact that it is well known in the development community that piracy was one of the main factors that killed looking glass studios.
But think whatever you want.
and I just love how you add 'illegal TOC' in there. An advocate...
