Valve is one of those developers that never seems to put a foot wrong. Whether it's Portal, Half-Life, Counter-Strike or Steam, everything it does seems to come up smelling of roses.
But it hasn't always been that way. The much-loved studio has made some big errors in its time. How do we know? Because its key execs have admitted it.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
After Valve released the Team Fortress 2 source code, developers and modders are reviving TF2 VR, making it bigger and better than ever.
Seems dumb, multiplayer fast paced VR... Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Source 2 versions of the games they had, remakes or sequels to their games should've come out like a decade ago, now they'd need a heavily upgraded Source 2 or just Source 3 to be up to par with current engines tbh..
Valve: "Mod makers, rejoice! We've just released a massive update to the Source SDK, adding all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code. This update will allow content creators to build completely new games based on TF2. We're also doing a big update to all our multiplayer back-catalogue Source engine titles (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM, CS:S, and HLDM:S), adding 64-bit binary support, a scalable HUD/UI, prediction fixes, and a lot of other improvements!"
Ignoring and hating on PS3...
Newell, nuff said lol jk I really dont know really. To me most of their games despite being overrated cough half life cough leaft4dead cough. They really havent technically made any duds as far I can record.
failed to have the foresight to see that the PS3 was going to be the console, they really f'd themselves with the orange box release. even that though, wont stop me from buying portal 2 on my ps3
i love me some valve games as much as the next guy but i always felt they looked too similar, like they were half life 2 mods.
Adding a unnecessary damage bonus for the backburner.
and allowing someone else to make orange box ps3
