First Zen Bound 2, then Flight Control HD... Is this the start of a trend of iOS games being ported to Steam, and if so, how far will it continue?

How would anyone know?

 

[BioHazard]

Looking at my community page, Biohazard bought it and got 8 out of 12 of the achievements in 0.6 hours. :lol

Haha yeah they are pretty easy. The game is definitely so much more fun with a mouse, I have it on my iPhone as well. So it's a pretty fun little game for 5 bucks, one game mode, like 8 or so levels, and leaderboards/achievements, but def better with the mouse, still the right balance of challenging and addicting haha.

 

[cooljeanius]

How would anyone know?

I was posing it more as a discussion starter question...

 

[erpg]

As an FYI - Natural Selection 2 is now in beta, so anyone who owns in on Steam can test it.

 

[Schmattakopf]

How would anyone know?

And honestly, how much is even worth porting?

 

[Twig]

Zen Bound was a PC game long before it was an iOS game.

Before iOS even really existed, I think. My memory that far back all kind of blurs together, though, so I could be wrong.

Does anyone know when the thanksgiving sale is going to start?

I've been smart and bought everything that I could think of so that now Steam can't trick me into buying more stuff when the big sales roll around.

That'll show em!


Anyone who was looking at this "Clones" game that came out yesterday, there's a demo on their website:

Haven't tried it yet.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Wow, this new "Recommended for you" feature is weird. Based on my recent playtime in "Deus Ex" Steam recommended me.... "VVVVVV". :lol

 

[Baha]

It's probably based on "people who bought x also bought y".

 

[John]

It's probably based on "people who bought x also bought y".

but then the sale hoarders just buy everything, so it recommends... everything. to everyone!

 

[Rubezh]

Recommended for Rubezh: Lost Planet 2 - Based on your recent playtime for Resident Evil 5. Oh my.

 

[Visualante]

Can't see myself using this feature- I usually talk to the people I trust about game recommendations. Not browse Amazon style.

 

[Lostconfused]

Because you will obviously buy it, as long as its a good deal.

 

[Shaneus]

Super Meat Boy out yet? I bet not... :/

 

[TouchMyBox]

Anybody bought Flight Control HD? Is it worth my monies?

Yeah, it's pretty nifty. It has more maps than any other version of flight control.

 

[Polk]

Super Meat Boy out yet? I bet not... :/

21st? I'd imagine the day it get price increase on XBLA it's available elsewhere,

 

[GWX]

Super Meat Boy out yet? I bet not... :/

November 30th.

edit:

No, but soon.

Supposed to be able to pre-order it for ten bucks instead of the full fifteen, but I can't find anywhere to do that. Not even at the Super Meat Boy website! (I may or may not be blind.)

Preorders start November 23rd on Steam.

[ClovingWestbrook]

Hmm

COD: World at War complete and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit complete were added to the registry. Either these two will receive a price reduction or its possible Valve is getting ready for their Thanksgiving sale. Also Shogun 2 Press beta was added to the registry.

Hot pursuit complete? The new one isn't even on steam ffs :/

 

[Caesar III]

it's prolly the old one. EA confirmed the new one will not be released on steam.

 

[Nabs]

No, but soon.

pre-order this tuesday. the game will be out on the 30th

I bet it'll come in handy during those massive sales.

 

[Twig]

HNNNNG WANT

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Hot pursuit complete? The new one isn't even on steam ffs :/

Hmm, I confused Hot Pursuit with Shift. No, I don't think its the old one. Isn't the old one called Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit? This is just Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. Perhaps its coming and EA Just doesn't want to say so right now in order to get people to purchase it elsewhere.

 

[Caesar III]

so it's clearly hot persuit complete? odd! here is the tweet:

[Shaneus]

It won't be the old one... looks like holding out will be worth it!

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Well, either Valve incorrectly typed the title (doubt it) or the game is coming to Steam, just not until EA feels enough people have purchased it elsewhere.

 

[Caesar III]

would be great. I'd like to buy it off of steam later when it's <15bucks

How do they find this shit out?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

How do they find this shit out?

Some folks have access to the client registry tool which is what Valve uses to add new games to their system

 

[Narag]

Oh good Poker Night at the Inventory says 11/22 finally.

 

[confused]

Keep an eye out for this http://store.steampowered.com/app/47870/

If I click the link it just directs me to the steam homepage. What should I be seeing here ?

 

[Volcynika]

Yeah they bumped the Poker Night thread yesterday or something and said "hey it's coming out Monday!"

 

[Rufus]

So, you love Steam so much that you basically, well, stalk it?

Nothing right now but when the game goes up, that will be the page.

Yes

Yes

You are so lucky I don't have name-changing capability.

man i am so glad they put in this community reviewing/tweeting feature

 

[Tim-E]

I'm still waiting on Final Fantasy VII, which was posted to the registry, LovingSteam!

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Yup. Unfortunately there are a number of games that are added that take eons to be released. For whatever reason. =/

 

[SapientWolf]

The potential for passive aggressive recommendations is pretty vast. "Oh, I see you have Prince of Persia 08. I think you would also like this game."

edit: Nevermind, it looks like they apply across your entire friends list. That could get kind of spammy.
