Hardware Hardware (Demo)

These stand out to me more than anything else...

Other weird stuff. Civ V - Frankenstein DayZ Ikari Warriors TERA (was on Steam then removed) The Banner Saga: Factions (Kickstarter game) [CONSOLE] Half-Life 2 Multiplayer Dota 2 DLC Range Age of Conan Anarchy Online Seven Souls Online Crysis 2 GOTY Skullgirls Runescape Saints Row IV (wat) World of Tanks

Some of these seem pretty logical; stuff that's removed from Steam maintains its registry entries, for re-download purposes and so stuff like the box art in the client is kept behind the scenes after the thing is removed.

We know Skullgirls is getting a PC port.

DayZ standalone will be using Steamworks (it was confirmed), TERA is still on Steam, but it only released in Europe, Age of Conan was on Steam, but pulled when Funcom went F2P (I'm guessing with the success of Secret World on Steam, they'll bring it back), and Skullgirls was announced as a Steamworks title last year.

[DSN2K]

no love for reach or ODST ? :(

[GAMERG0D]

I need a PC, regardless if it gets released or not.

[animlboogy]

I think we should all keep our hype in check re:KoFXIII, actually. Remember, it is already a PC game. The arcade cab is just a PC, and you can run that version on your home PC if you look for it. We'll be lucky if it has online at all.

If it happened I bet the most likely result would be a horrible GFWL version with the same shit netcode.

[Sponge]

If they put the PC port of Viva Pinata on there, all my money.

[Tizoc]

This list becomes 20% more believe if Skies of Arcadia gets added.

This has to be some kind of hack.

I mean.... come on guys... Saints Row 4?

Or is this similar to securing a domain name?

[Clint Beastwood]

Everything else in that list pales in comparison to this news of Halo 3 on PC. EVERYTHING

which is sad. the game is 6 years old.

I have no idea why Microsoft hates PC. That's another way for them to make money and in their "console wars" war, it still benefits them. On any other forum games like Witcher 2 are considered exclusive for some reason.

[micster]

Other weird stuff. Saints Row IV (wat)

I reckon Steam is used like PartnerNet on 360, where development builds can be spread using the network, maybe just Steamworks titles? Would explain SR4 and Homefront 2 being on the system, as we know they're in development.

[Forkball]

Rise of Nations Gold is also on there. BEST RTS EVER.

[Stumpokapow]

Let me just add a little color commentary on this:
- Tons of stuff has been leaked through the Steam database before
- Typically when a company doesn't want stuff to leak, because it's pre-mature, they label their game as ValveTestApp, so it can't be identified
- For some reason, all these ValveTestApp games have Steam Community hubs, where they are NOT labeled ValveTestApp, but instead have actual names.

I reckon Steam is used like PartnerNet on 360, where development builds can be spread using the network, maybe just Steamworks titles? Would explain SR4 and Homefront 2 being on the system, as we know they're in development.

and it'd be logical for their entries to be updated or re-submitted in light of the publisher being transferred after the THQ stuff...

I have no idea why Microsoft hates PC. That's another way for them to make money and in their "console wars" war, it still benefits them.

I have a feeling that we're going to see at least a token amount of PC ports for their next-gen games. Windows 8 exclusive, of course.

[DTKT]

I wonder why they even let us see the entries. They could be all named "TestApp 42314" and it would effectively prevent anyone from leaking stuff.

I bet someone at Valve is just putting up random entries because he's tired of people looking stuff up.

[legacyzero]

no love for reach or ODST ? :(

Baby steps, man.

Halo 1-3 on PC AND on Steam would be confirmation that MS, in fact, do not have their heads jammed up their ass.

[Clint Beastwood]

This has to be some kind of hack. I mean.... come on guys... Saints Row 4?

and console half life 2 multiplayer? hope is crushed

although Skullgirls is coming to PC. some hope restored

[Stitch]

Remember when Final Fantasy 7 showed up in the Database? Yeah, that was great, wasn't it..?

;_;

[ThatsMytrunks]

I can verify that one of those games in the list is legit, which says that maybe, just maybe, there's some credibility to all of it.

[crimsonheadGCN]

It is used the same way. If you look Beta section of the Properties option of Steam, you'll see entries for Development builds on games on Steam.

[ColonelColon]

This has to be some kind of hack. I mean.... come on guys... Saints Row 4?

I know... the actual title is The Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise.

[Nirolak]

Saints Row IV (wat)

You don't think Saints Row IV is coming to Steam? O_o

On my end I'm assuming that's a shoe in.

[Clint Beastwood]

I have a feeling that we're going to see at least a token amount of PC ports for their next-gen games. Windows 8 exclusive, of course.

Surely they wouldn't be that stupid again? Making Shadowrun and Halo 2 vista exclusive was one of the biggest mistakes ever. Even with Halo 2 being a 3 year port, it would have sold more

[Miizy F Baby]

Omfg. So many on that list are insta-buys. Give me all the KOF. All of it. Give me Fez. Give me all the Halo. Holy shit.

All I need is for Gears 123 to show up and I'll officially lose all my shit.

[Stumpokapow]

Remember when Final Fantasy 7 showed up in the Database? Yeah, that was great, wasn't it..? ;_;

I already responded to this one; FF7 showed up when Eidos signed with Steam, it's pretty clear they did intend or try to release it, there were some technical concerns, and since then there are pretty much no other examples of this kind of thing happening. When stuff is added to the registry, it's because people intend to release it. The only difference this time around is the odd disjoint behaviour between the registry and the community hubs, implying it might be a change to community hubs.

[Forkball]

You don't think Saints Row IV is coming to Steam? O_o On my end I'm assuming that's a shoe in.

... Am I the only one who had no idea this game existed? I thought the series was on hiatus after THQ. And yes I knew Skullgirls was coming to Steam, but hasn't there been little information about when it's coming?

[Wii Tank]

I would be really happy if Halo 3 wound up on PC. It was my first and favorite Halo game. I really don't see it happening, although I'll stay hopeful

[Kinyou]

It is used the same way. If you look Beta section of the Properties option of Steam, you'll see entries for Development builds on games on Steam.

Ok, that makes more sense. But still.... suddenly Halo 3 for PC? And where's ODST, Reach and 4?

[EdibleExplosives]

Don't tease me with a PC version of Halo 3. I know it's highly unlikely but fuck man. FUCK. I'm getting wet at the thought of it yo.

[GAMERG0D]

Ok, that makes more sense. But still.... suddenly Halo 3 for PC? And where's ODST, Reach and 4?

Well 4 was just released not too long ago, they wouldn't want to detract from the sales on 360.

[Metalmurphy]

iirc KOFXIII arcades are pretty much a PC. A "port", if you can even call it that Sofia be incredibly easy. Just a couple of days easy.

[duckroll]

The only difference this time around is the odd disjoint behaviour between the registry and the community hubs, implying it might be a change to community hubs.

Another supporting point is that eventually Final Fantasy 7 was indeed re-released on PC, simply on a different distribution platform. So it's a clear sign that there is an intention to have an actual product, even if plans change along the way.

[MRORANGE]

All we need now is Shenmue 3 to pop-up to confirm this list is legit.

[TheOddOne]

which is sad. the game is 6 years old. I have no idea why Microsoft hates PC. That's another way for them to make money and in their "console wars" war, it still benefits them. On any other forum games like Witcher 2 are considered exclusive for some reason.

Blame gamers and the game press for telling them that 360 doesn't have any exclusives. Next generation the same is going to happen.

It's insane that low selling exclusive get praised, because they are exclusive. They could have boosted the sales and companies would have stayed afloat, but no it has to be exclusive. Insane.

[Lulubop]

Didn't a Dynasty Warriors game show up like last June? What happened with that?

[Kinyou]

Well 4 was just released not too long ago, they wouldn't want to detract from the sales on 360.

I guess. I'd just assume that if they'd really do this they'd go full blown "Play the entire Halo series on PC"

[Dachande]

KOF XIII would be great. I'd double-dip.

The game already runs on Windows, because the arcade hardware is just a revision of Taito Type-X. Isn't there an arcade version with the PS3/360 improvements included? They could tighten that up, add in some menus, netcode and a configuration app and bam, stick it on Steam for £10 or something. They'd be crazy not to. The arcade version of game will get pirated eventually if it hasn't been already and then they've lost out.

We already know Skullgirls is getting a PC release, and Steam is highly likely, so...

[Nabs]

I think it was released in China. http://steamcommunity.com/app/211140

[Meisadragon]

This is true. Even Steam review copies are sometimes labelled as ValveTestapp.

[Clint Beastwood]

I thought Fez was already confirmed to come to PC? A few people in this thread seem surprised.

That and Skullgirls puts some legitimacy into this list. while others destroy that legitimacy.

Hopefully there's confirmation on whether its coming or not.

[JaseC]

Rise of Nations Gold is also on there. BEST RTS EVER.

And yet no classic Age of Empires. :( Rise of Rome itself even works just fine* on Win7 x64!

* Well, you have to kill explorer.exe to remove the "confetti" which is otherwise peppered throughout the water tiles. But other than that, it's perfect.

[Saty]

So this is what Microsoft is going to do in the 20th to divert the attention from Sony.

That, or SteamXbox.

[BFA]

Oh man I would love to get all the KOF games on PC. Been wanting them to be on PC (legitimately) for a decade already!

[metareferential]

Halo 3 on pc would be one of the highlight of the year, for me.

I mean, that game in 1080p+, with proper filtering and AA?

Too good to be true.

[Demoncarnotaur]

Halo 3 on PC would be amazing.

[animlboogy]

Given that Microsoft has just launched their own walled-garden for Windows 8, I think it's next to impossible that they would allow something like Halo launch on a competitor's service. I'd happily be proven wrong though (Halo 3 with proper AA and 60 FPS on PC omgomgomg)

Honestly you can never tell with them. Has there ever been a software company more notorious for competing with itself?

[legacyzero]

Don't tease me with a PC version of Halo 3. I know it's highly unlikely but fuck man. FUCK. I'm getting wet at the thought of it yo.

IKNOWRIGHT!??!

Best Halo yet!! Gimme Halo 3 with Mod tools too!!

[Exuro]

A proper PC port of Halo 3...man that would be too good to be true. Loved playing that back when I used my 360.

[Waaghals]

Every five years or so MS decides that it is to make some inroads in the PC gaming market.
This is probably one of those times.
