I don't remember the details of what they promised, but a PS3 copy entitled you to a Steam copy, you could sync saves between versions (or at least chapter progress), and you could see Steam friends from Portal 2. Might have been something more as well.

There's also PC/PS3 cross play: You can co op with a friend playing on Playstation. This also works with the Portal 2 DLC.

If another Portal game exists I want it to be that F-Stop prequel thing that was mentioned in that final hours app.

or you know, that experiment could get it's own ip, whatever.

It was pretty bonkers. Sadly didn't lead to much afterwards. It was an interesting direction for both parties.

The PSN hack/month long outage happened like the day Portal 2 came out so that probably killed it. If PSN worked and people were using all those features on release maybe other games would have come out with Steam support, maybe not, but it and, uh, SOCOM 4? It was another title where the online was a big focus, whatever else it was that came out that week really got screwed over.

Not like it would of been working anyways. MK9 had horrendously bad netcode on launch and you were lucky to even get to play, let alone one that didn't lag to hell, here's hoping that we get something better for MKX. Speaking of which, Ed has confirmed that they will be at E3 showing off gameplay and more characters, two of which Ed describes as "two of my new favorites", so I'm pretty stoked to see the game in action.

SteamOS for PS4. The PS4 runs a modified BSD kernel, it could easily run a linux compatibility layer, with AMD OpenGL drivers. Yay! Portal on PS4!

I said come in! posted:

A version of Steam OS where you can use your PS4 to stream your Steam games from your PC to your PS4 and use the PS4 controller. Steam already has streaming capabilities like what the PS4 to Vita is.

This is probably what it is. They specified that it's a Valve feature and I can see them working with Sony to put some kind of Steam app on PS4 for in-home streaming of PC games to the TV via PS4 and using the Dualshock 4 as a controller. They'll likely have some setup that makes it very slick and easy to use, and people will get to play Team Fortress 2 etc. on PS4.

Valve already has this technology working (as does Sony, with PS4 to Vita) and it's something that would benefit both companies tremendously, as well as developers. It's pretty much a win for everybody involved if it's announced.

Its a little sad that the whole point of the original Dewritos Pope article is that Jeff Keighley really is one of the best in the games journalism business and even he has been forced to stoop to that level. There's nothing wrong with him being chosen to host an event like that, he does have games journalism gravitas.

There's Dragon Age Inquisition at the E3 conference at least. :/ Maybe Mirror's Edge 2. So it might be kinda exciting, but usually their conference is real boring.

Even at the GameStop conferences which are closer to the holiday release hype EA's are always the most boring and useless. It was even worse when NBA Live was still a thing as if anyone could possibly care after NBA2K9 came out. The only year they had cool presentation was for when Dead Space 2 was coming out, they were (rightfully) extremely proud of that game.

They do give out inflatable toys of weapons from their games though. I have like a small arsenal of Mass Effect/Dead Space/Dragon Age weaponry I never got around to throwing out.

Bioware seems pretty serious about going back to what made Dragon Age Origins so good. There are multiple races you can play as, multiple locations you can visit, and the combat is being tweaked and improved based on Dragon Age Origins combat, not Dragon Age 2.

Because they've cultivated a group of suckers consumers who always believe them when they say, "No, this time will be different. Those giant warning signs telling you that things have gotten even worse are just because of whiners on the Internet. Pre-order now and get late game equipment so you don't actually have to play the game!"
