Halo: The Master Chief Collection gets Steam Deck support
5 Apr 2023 at 8:40 pm UTC Likes: 2

I literally have 4 Steam Decks and 4 copies of Halo MCC. I've beaten a few campaigns (mods disabled the last few months). I'm very excited I will finally be able to play.

Just yesterday I got my first "Easy Anti-Cheat Incident" warning when I attempted to load the game because it didn't ask if I wanted to load with Mods/EAC disabled or not.

There's been some really interesting analysis videos too of Halo 3 Alpha / Beta codename "Pimps of the Sea" that have been really interesting to checkout. ( https://youtube.com/watch?v=kV0Z6RKevbw [External Link] )

I'm glad that MCC is on Deck (hopefully proper).

“Virgo” is the code name for the laptop we’ll manufacture at our Denver factory.
They certainly have my attention.

Awesome, I just downloaded this the other day on my Steam Deck. I really need a good Kart racer for 4-6 player Steam Deck linkup.

Somebody needs to make a GameCube JetPack Mini Disc DVD-Rom for Steam Deck and people can literally throw game cube discs into the drive on the back of the Steam Deck.

That'd be hilarious, and fitting.

Atari are acquiring Night Dive Studios

The newest "Release Date" (estimate) on the System Shock Remake Steam Store page is May 30, 2023.

I'm curious if this has something to do with that.

They REALLY should work with the BioShock developers on SS2 Remake at some point since they made the other SS and SS2 and essentially Bioshock 1, 2 and Infinite are so similar.

Assuming there are no more release setbacks I hope Atari blasts their marketing on SS:2023 -- the demo was above my expectations or hopes.

Source 2 & VR Vulkan here I come! Amazing. (And VR later I'm sure in at the very least a mod.)

GOG Spring Sale is live with more free games

GOG is cool because if the internet is every disrupted you still have some games you can install or play.

It may seem like it can't happen but the Internet is pretty fragile and in the event of a natural disaster is usually toast.

Half of the links in the article seem broken for me.

I buy sometimes on GOG, but they really do need to get good content to sell me -- their content offering has improved the last year or two but still I want to be sold games with high interest whenever possible.

Half-Life: MMod gets a release on Steam

For me the next thing that would really captivate me is HL1/2 in VR and I know somebody was doing a HL2 VR on some level.

Seems like with Source 2 on the way and the CS2 trademark and rumors of being based on Source 2 that it would be in everyone's best interest if they target Source 2 at some point.
