Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / August 2007Doom
I just booted up steam which I haven't done in months and see that ID have put their games up on Steam. I was very suprised when I saw Doom3 on it. How long has this been going on? > I just booted up steam which I haven't done in months and see that ID > have put their games up on Steam. I was very suprised when I saw Doom3 > on it. How long has this been going on? Yesterday. Whole ID catalogue (except for the two Raven ones) for around £35. If I didn't already have most of them that'd be a bargain. Not such a good price for individual games though. >> I just booted up steam which I haven't done in months and see that ID >> have put their games up on Steam. I was very suprised when I saw Doom3 >> on it. How long has this been going on? Just brought the whole Quake collection on steam. Not impressed with the orginal quake - seems very dark even with the brightness turned up, Theres better freeware ports out there with better graphics and has the music thats missing from the steam version. Quake 2 is better than i remember - can;t get full screen in any res other than 1024 in opengl - drops into window mode. Quake 3 seems ok - never really played it when it first came out. Was more a unreal tourn person. Loads of people still playing online - very suprised at that. Now if steam would only link quake / quake 2 and quake 3 into there server frontend it will be a killed app. Rich > >> I just booted up steam which I haven't done in months and see that ID > >> have put their games up on Steam.

Wolfenstein and Doom 1/2 could be run only on computer with Win 98. I remember I unsuccessfully tried to run them on a Win XP machine. I still enjoyed playing Wolfenstein and Doom. I presume the ID put transferred them into Win XP. I wish they would make it possible to use the capabilities of the today's more powerful computers by allowing the better resolutions etc. If I did not have still the CDs with the original games (and an old laptop with Win 98), I would be very compelled to buy them.

If you own them already, you should be able to add them to your Steam account. Jim > If you own them already, you should be able to add them to your Steam > account. I'm not sure how they'd be able to tell.. I mean, some of these games are almost 15 years old, and certainly didn't come with CD-Key numbers when they were new (My boxed version of Doom came on 4 or 5 floppy disks.. most people didn't even have CD-ROM drives back then :) ) Unless it just looks for the files installed on your computer.

I thought Steam scanned for games, but it has been so long now I dont remember. Jim > Ben Cottrell wrote on 8/5/2007 9:11 PM: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > somehow.

IIRC, Blue shift was a special case - I never bought blue shift, although it detected my HL CD key and gave me access, purely because Sierra royally borked up (so to speak) the cdkeys when the game was published, so valve had no option but to grant access to BS on steam for everyone with a valid HL key. :-) SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench >> >> I just booted up steam which I haven't done in months and see that ID >> >> have put their games up on Steam.

Can you register an existing product as with HL2? I have originals of most of the games and would love them "steamed" some will work, some will not. I was able to add Prey to steam, but Doom won't work, nor Call of Duty games If I remember correctly. |
