From now through the weekend (until November 18th at 10am Pacific) Half-Life 2 is free to own , so if you’ve never played before, grab it now and keep it forever.
Which reminds me, what did we get for the 25th anniversary of Unreal, another super important game from 1998 whose engine nowadays even powers movie production?
I’m also still incredibly salty about this. The Quake 1 and 2 remasters also are a huge contrast to how the Unreal franchise has been handled.
I recently got my gog copy of UT2004 running on my Steam Deck. It was a huge pain in the ass that I could have circumvented by buying a Steam copy… but of course that’s no longer an option. I guess Epic doesn’t want easy money from their old games.
Significant — you’d need to either get the old Linux build working (not an easy task today) or you can install it on Windows, copy the files over, and run it via Proton (but you’d need to manually add the registry key with your CD key to the Proton prefix’s registry).
Honestly this is an awesome update shame they didn’t implement real time shadows like nvidia did with quake 2 as that’ll go hand in hand with the new steamdeck
Last I checked no, the game engine was 32 bit but the Mac won’t run 32 bit apps anymore. Or something like that. My hope with this refresh was 64 bit support.
Have you actually installed and run it? I know there were quite a few games that steam claimed couldn’t be run because of that and still did. I don’t remember if portal is one of them though.
Battleblock theater for instance says it can’t but still does.
New levels, better HUD scaling, old content that hasn’t been released in bloody ages, new death match models and skins, and most importantly, you get to be Ivan the Space Biker in death match.
Also there’s an option to turn off texture filtering, and thank GOODNESS for that.
Alyx is an interquel, if we're going to say that's a real word, and it released on a platform most of the audience just won't ever have. Also, it doesn't so much continue the story as it does promise to continue the story. They admit that they've got work to do.
