Influx of unlikely games appear in steam database

The Hobbit is apparently going to become a game.

#22

well yeah

#23

But is it going to be a good movie-concurrent video game adaptation?

:lol:

#24

The other directly film licensed LOTR games weren’t too bad.

#25

Yeah, they were actually pretty fun. They were just hack and slash games, but they were well done, fun to play with friends, and had funny little extras you could unlock, like interview videos where Dominic Monaghan derides Billy Boyd’s gaming skills and stuff.

#26

The cutscenes were pretty cool for their novelty too. Fading from film footage to in-engine framedumps and all that.

#27

I remember loving The LotR games the most because they were a few of the only games I had that I could actually kill the enemy.

#28

Or they could be bringing this to steam.

#29

nu

#30

Seems more likely than a new game. How often do we find the appid for games on steam to be out before even a title announcement of a game.

#31

I know Kotaku isn’t the greatest, but, uh, there goes my hopes for Halo.

#32

#33

Yeah, that’ll make 'em do it.

I think it’d take just a teeny tiny bit more than a hundred people to have them “waste” their precious resources to cater the game to it’s original fanbase.

#34

Yeah.
Nice idea, but shit, they underestimated severely. Even if we do eventually get Halo 3, I couldn’t imagine Halo 4 PC happening for years.

Something could happen when the 360 gets phased out though.

#35

As I understand it, Halo 4 is so incredibly optimized for Xbox hardware that the chances of a port are basically nil.

#36

That’s probably it too. Oh well.

#37

yeah, this is pretty feeble. I signed nyway :V

#38

If they do port them, I would like them to improve the draw-distance. God, that shit is awful.

#39

of halo 3? Dude, halo 3’s draw distance was/is huge for a console game :confused:

#40

I would honestly prefer a port of ODST. It’s the only one of the next-gen Halo games that was worth my time (that I played).
