Games you'd like to see on Steam

[Rapstah]

Post the ones that should be purchasable but aren't.

I'd go for Battlefield 2 and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault / Airborne.

[Jintor]

LucasArt's back catalogue. :D Specifically the Adventure Games.

[-Psy-]

Worms Armageddon.

[Qhartb]

Games I've played and would like on Steam:
LucasArts's classic adventure games
Chronicles of Riddick
FEAR
Duke 3d, Rise of the Triad, etc good early FPSs
Jazz Jackrabbit series
Max Payne series
KOTOR series (heck, once licenses are worked out, may as well do all star wars games, or most LucasArts)
Tron 2.0
Epic Pinball (still the best PC pinball game since 1993)
Beyond Good and Evil (though it's best played on a console)
Narbacular Drop - Yes, it's a free download, but now that Portal's getting such a buzz, I think enough people would be interested in seeing its origins that it'd be cool to make it more easily available on Steam. I don't think DigiPen allows it, though.
Heart of Darkness

Games I'd like to play that would be awesome if Steam game me that much more reason to:
Planescape Torment
Homeworld series
at least one unconventional sports game, such as a management simulator
No One Lives Forever series
Diablo series / Baldur's Gate series / Neverwinter Night series , just something from that genre
GTR2
Tribes series
Mafia
LEGO Star Wars
Elder Scrolls series
Clive Barker's Undying
American McGee's Alice and Scrapland
Tom Clancy games
Fahrenheit
Sim- series
Chessmaster
You Don't Know Jack series
Perimeter
Manhunt series
Bad Mojo (a version that works!)
Vampire: the Masquerade: Redemption - no my cup o' tea, but makes sense to have it and Bloodlines available in the same place
WORMS series!
XIII

And I'd like the board games they used to have integrated to the Friends system back, possibly expanded and improved.

[Hellrider]

Duke3d !
Also all Epics' catalog..

Oh and I'd like to play Perimeter too...

[Sliver]

System shock 2, with a built in XP fix, and an easier way to begin a co op game.

[Qhartb]

Oh, and the Alien vs. Predator series.

[Xendance]

I would like Half Life 2 on Steam.

[Hellrider]

I would like Half Life 2 on Steam.

Surprise!

[Darkside55]

What I'd really like to see are more free, tiny games that you can play with people in your friends list. Things like Tanks for IRC. Maybe some kind of physics-engine ping pong. Just real simple, real fun diversions that you can load up quickly with some friends when you're bored.

[Pesmerga]

Agreed with Darkside55.

[Reginald]

I give this thread a thumbs up. :thumbs:

Apart from Xendance.


In particular, the LucasArts Adventure games on budget would really, really use up so much time, it's untrue. And Darkside's ideas.

[Samon]

System Shock 2.

[soulslicer]

Fear and all its sequels.
All Lucas arts games
Cry sis

UT3? Not possible i think.

[DiSTuRbEd]

I would like Half Life 2 on Steam.

Vaporware just like Team Fortess 2!

Fear and all its sequels.
All Lucas arts games
Cry sis

UT3? Not possible i think.

All of those are in the not possible list.

[Shields]

Grim Fandango.

[Rizzo89]

I fail to see why it whould matter realy, is it becouse it's more convinient?

[Nitre]

I fail to see why it whould matter realy, is it becouse it's more convinient?

Yeah.

[Polaris]

Command & Conquer games.

[Evo]

I was thinking the same Polaris but it won't happen with 'EA Link' or whatever it is roaming around D:

Im with Darky's ideas :)

[Hellrider]

Yeah would be nice if they had CNC since I bought TFD..

[Qhartb]

All of those are in the not possible list.

So was Doom 3. :)

[DiSTuRbEd]

So was Doom 3. :)

Fear franchise is owned by Vivendi, if you don't know why it won't be happening I can't help you.
Lucasarts games will never see the light of Steam I tell you that.
Crysis is going to be on EA downloader, thus never will hit Steam.

[Bug-eyed Earl]

Thief: The Dark Project and Thief II: The Metal age would be a great thing to have on steam. People could be introduced to the beginning of the Thief story-life and game-play through the first and second games.

[Bug-eyed Earl]

Grim Fandango.

OH yes!

[Narvi]

System Shock 2.
All the effing Lucasarts games. I love them so much.
The Elder Scrolls series.
AvP.
Beyond Good and Evil. Please.

[Van_Halen]

Starcraft. STARCRAFT! WANT! NEED! MUST HAVE!

...

On steam. :D

[Lucid]

Homeworld series.

[gusIII]

All games ever created! No but seriously, Outlaws!

[Acepilotf14]

All Blizzard games cept WoW.
KOTOR?
Not anymore, though..

[kupocake]

The System Shock games. I'm really surprised they haven't put them up all ready. Because:

a) EA are the supposedly the rights holders and they have good relations with Valve
b) System Shock is mentioned in virtually every virtually cunnilingual review of Bioshock, so everyone who never played it may want to play it
c) Irrational probably have no objection to Steam if Bioshock is available through it already.

The only explanation is basically that EA has a ridiculous Dog in the Manger attitude to the property that has seen anyone trying to do something with the IP rejected or closed down, and the software itself out of print for half a decade or more.

Aside from these two gems, I'd love to see similarly revered games of yesteryear revived by their previously apathetic publishers / developers and given a new chance to be experienced by an entirely new audience. Going forward, online distribution channels like this may turn out to be instrumental in maintaining retro titles, ensuring that the PC has true backwards compatibility.

[Asus]

LucasArt's back catalogue. :D Specifically the Adventure Games.^ agreed

[CyberPitz]

Blizzard Games
AVP2
BF2
All the old school FPS, Like ROTT/Duke Nukem 3D/etc.
Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander
C&C games

[Sloth]

I'd love for more retro games like with IDs Wolf and Keen.

[Jintor]

FALLOUT 1 AND 2
ARCANUM

I lol'd because V:TM is already out. Woo, a victory for good taste. Oh, and Psychonauts! YAY.

[giant384]

FALLOUT 1 AND 2

i thought psychonauts was already on steam....

1) EA owns the rights.
2) EA has its own download system; EA link.
3) I don't know why.

[Jintor]

i thought psychonauts was already on steam....

That's what I ambiguously said.

[kupocake]

2) EA has its own download system; EA link.
I wondered if this was the case (though it's now just the 'EA Store' apparently). No System Shock of course, and the existence of an EA store doesn't necessarily rule out EA games on Steam.

[THE_END]

Posta II and III when it's out

[AciD]

Minesweeper!

[CLASSIFIED]

C&C, HOMEWORLD, Gunman, Savage, Americas Army, Worms, Half-Life 2: Episode 3 and of course HL3.

Edit: Oh and the missing Hitman: Contracts

[k3ithrm]

I want to see the undying on steam. And these old games I used to play called the 7th guest and 11th hour.

[Asuka]

System shock 2, with a built in XP fix, and an easier way to begin a co op game.

HELL YES!

TANKS would ****ing ROCK!

Games it like to see.

System shock 2
Indigo Prophecy
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil series


Bassically games that are very hard to find now.

[Qhartb]

I want to see the undying on steam. And these old games I used to play called the 7th guest and 11th hour.

I LOVE THE 7TH GUEST! I actually have occasionally bought additional copies when I've seen them for less than $5 so I can give them to my friends. Probably still my favorite video game soundtrack to date.

That said, I'm weirdly apathetic about it going on Steam. I guess I'd be happy just because it's almost certainly not being printed anymore and digital distribution should add to its longevity. That and I'd love to hear what new players would have to say about it. And hopefully they'd address compatibility issues.

[Narvi]

MGS is hard to find now?

Oh, and I agree on Undying. That game knew how to terrify you. I stopped playing after you got the dragon arm cannon and then the horrifying demon hounds came after you.

With Barker's new game coming out on Steam, Undying should come soon too.

[kupocake]

MGS is hard to find now?
The PC version certainly is. Was never too widely available.

[Narvi]

The PC version certainly is. Was never too widely available.

But the PC version was terrible.

[Darkedge34]

But the PC version was terrible.
I found the PC version of MGS at a used game store. It's awesome.

[kupocake]

But the PC version was terrible.
Other versions don't matter, since we are talking about Steam. Though yes, you're right.
