Weekly Steam News (09/09/05)

[Chris D]

As it's a special occasion, and also the fact that Valve have made their weekly news update a bit more colourful this week, I thought we'd show it on our front page a little differently this week:[br]

[br]As usual you can catch the news update here or by restarting your Steam client now.[br]Also, congratulations to the Dystopia team for releasing their demo (as reported below). You'll probably find that most downloads are running pretty slow so concerned fan of the game, Aaron, has sent us an e-mail with a torrent link in it. You can download this here.

Awesome.

Aaaaahhhh, so that's how they do it. I was wondering how the hell the premeire pack was instantly available to play.

"Preloading," eh...

 

[Psycho]

Sweet! I guess I'll have to go and buy the combi pack with CS: Source, but this game is just so cool, I decided I don't really mind paying a bit extra.
Is there any info on when the game will be in stores? I can't wait!

Unleash the fury Mitch, UNLEASH THE FURY!!!!

That should be at the same time as it's released on Steam

It's great to see a visually pleasing news post once in a while

Oh and damnit, you pushed the Dystopia news post down...

Thanks!

Don't worry, I saw it , and I'm going to test it right after I finished this post...

Cool! in the new screen shot it looks like there's a limb some where out of place,
that be sweet if body parts came off when you get nanded.
like Brothers in arms.
Can't wait see you on the battle feild guys!!!

 

[Mopar33l]

Man, all the server's on Dystopia are laggy. :|

 

[Chris D]

Try downloading it using that torrent I posted in this news post.

 

[Asuka]

Sweetness!

 

[omikron]

managed to find a couple of Dystopia uk servers and WOW, just wow, great teamplay, I havent managed to play like this since TFC, you cant win if you play on your own as simple as that, the hacking part is soo much fun and so tripy. great great mode, and for me that means bye bye CS.

sweetness

 

[xrikazen]

yea, nice to see a colorful news post on valve's part. I have yet to get on a dystopia server though.. can't wait untill I actually have time for it tomorrow.

 

[greeny]

No lost coast again? *sobs*

Lol thats just a boot object..just as in CS:S and HL2

 

[Asknoone]

Awesome.

 

[DarkStar]

DOD:S is nice and all.

But seriously where is my SP? Basically where in the hell is Lost Coast?

Apparently HDR was just a little bit too technically complicated for Vavle to complete this summer.

Whatever. I still love ya Gabe.

 

[Grand Architect]

Personaly I could care less about TLC, it's just a tech demo that the common gamer can't handle with maybe 45 mins of gameplay.

DoD:S will be a better release as more people can actual play it and worth hours and hours of gameplay. I'm just happy I don't have to wait on DoD:S because of proplems with TLC.

 

[Dowie]

Great News

Also this means that Lost Cost HAS to be out in the next 16 days, ie next week or the one after

 

[Wesisapie]

it says lost coast is coming out AFTER dod, so it means it is NOT coming out in the next 16 days

 

[evecomm]

How much is DOD gonna cost?

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

$20.

You probably would've known that if you would've looked anywhere

 

[Scotsman]

*Reloads BAR*
YEAH!
*Remembers ISDN connection*
DOH!
No downloading DoD:S for me...
