It's that time of the week again, time for another Steam news update from Valve to you (with love).
So what do we have next? We have some hi-def trailers to look forward to possibly on Friday or later. We also have the next gameplay change planned for CS: Source. This one will see the gun prices under the knife. There are no details on what any of those changes will be yet.
A couple of new PC racing games, eh? Not really my cup of tea, but the games don't look half bad. If the price is right, I'm sure these will find a nice niche among the Steam users.
Uplink does look like a fun little game there. May as well put your "1337 h4x0r" skills to the test. DEFCON is also going to be a new experience for a lot of people. From what I'm seeing, it's a lot like the game Risk but with thermonuclear war.
Valve showed more of Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, and Portal at the Leipzig Games Convention this week. Our new trailers with new gameplay footage will be made available via Steam media downloads within the next few days.As expected, the radar update was a mixed bag for the community. Just from what I saw on the Steam forums, the pro players detested it, and the rest of the community loved it. Now, there were some exceptions, but not many. I don't see how it's going to affect the pro player all that much, but complainers will be complainers (this is old, but still rather appropriate; the good stuff starts on page 2). Feel free to actually elaborate on how a graphical update to the radar is a bad thing for anybody, especially when most competitive players always call out via voice communications where the enemies are. Temporary bugs aside, the radar seems to do the exact same function as the voice comm.
Counter-Strike: Source was updated this afternoon with several new features, including a re-vamped in-game radar system and a new version of the map Train (now featuring HDR lighting), along with a few other changes. Fire the game up now to check out the new map and features.
Newly released this week, Techland's GTI Racing and X-Pand Rally. If you're in North America, check out the GTI racing Logitech MOMO steering wheel bundle!
Introversion's Uplink is now available on Steam. Play as a hacker for hire — breaking into rival computer systems, stealing research data, sabotaging companies, laundering money, erasing evidence, or framing innocent people.
