Wolfenstein: The New Order Pre-Order Bonuses Includes TF2 Items And DOOM Beta Access

Wolfenstein: The New Order Pre Order Bonuses Includes TF2 Items And DOOM Beta AccessIf there’s one thing that Team Fortress 2 is known for, it would be its hats which gamers can purchase using real money. They’re merely cosmetic items and don’t add to the player’s stats or bonuses, but if you’re the type that cares about aesthetics, then it’s definitely worth taking a look at.

Now the good news is that if you were interested in getting your hands on the upcoming Wolfenstein: The New Order game, you might be pleased to learn that Valve has sweetened the deal by announcing some pre-order bonuses if you were to pre-order the game via Steam. Gamers who pre-order the game can be expected to receive two items: Die Regime-Panzerung and Der Maschinensoldaten-Helm. (more…)

    36.9% Of Games Bought On Steam Never Get Played [Study]

    36.9% Of Games Bought On Steam Never Get Played [Study]Whenever a Steam sale rolls around, we’re sure many gamers get excited at the idea that they can buy games that were too expensive before. Sure some of the deals might be great, but usually it results in gamers spending more than they’d like on titles that they might not have thought of in the first place.

    Now let’s face it, despite the plethora of titles in our Steam library, how many of them do you actually play? According to a report by Ars Technica, they found that more than a third of the games that have been purchased have never been played, 36.9% to be exact. It is unclear as to why this might be; perhaps lack of time, perhaps no motivation, but it’s still a pretty interesting insight.

    Their report also found that Valve’s DotA 2 is the most owned game on Steam with 25.93 million copies downloaded to date. In fact 13% of Steam’s most owned games are from Valve which is unsurprising given that Valve did create the Steam platform as a means to distribute their games in the first place.

    This report seems to be part of a trend of reports that shows how gamers interact with their games. For example earlier we discovered that most gamers tend not to finish games they have have started, and that gamers tend to quit mobile games after one day.

    We guess these studies can be used by developers to better understand their market and perhaps design games that are more engaging and provide incentives for gamers to finish them, but what do you guys think? Any of our readers guilty of purchasing games on Steam but never getting around to playing them? I know I am.

    Half-Life 2 Reimagined With Unreal Engine Looks Gorgeous

    Half Life 2 Reimagined With Unreal Engine Looks GorgeousValve’s Half-Life 2 was released nearly 10 years ago and for a game released around that time, it looked pretty damn good. However fast forward 10 years, even die-hard Half-Life fans have to admit that the graphics are still to look a little dated, which is why a user called Logithx over at the Polycount website has decided to do something about it.

    We should note that the screenshots pictured above and below are not representative of an upcoming game or mod for Half-Life 2. It’s essentially an “art project” which consists of some scenes from Half-Life 2 remade using the Unreal Engine. (more…)

    Valve’s “Free To Play” Documentary Garners 5.5 Million Views

    So just last week Valve released the DotA 2 documentary entitled “Free To Play”. For those who missed it, it’s still available on YouTube (see video above) and like its title, it is free to watch. If you’re wondering what the documentary is about, it basically follows three of the top DotA 2 players from around the world.

    It documents their struggles in life and the resistance they are faced with when choosing gaming as a professional career, and also some background on them and how they managed to get so good. It also covers a DotA 2 tournament which at that time gave out the most money: $1.6 million in total. (more…)
