Yeah, these events and broadcasts are very enjoyable.

You discover a few new games, you get these broadcasts with developers explaining a bit of the games mechanics (which are usually far more interesting that most gameplay videos on youtube for these games, that don't show much of anything), and you get some nice deals and bundles.
 
As an aside, I hope Arkane working on Youngblood points to Dishonored 3 using id Tech rather than the Avoid Engine. I was fortunate enough to have no issues with 2, even at launch... until I upgraded to a 1080 Ti, because, naturally, having a better GPU means having noticeably worse frame times.

honestly ... i don't think i'd want a new Dishonored game from present-day Bethesda :confused:

also - Avoid Engine, lol :P good one

So not long left of the year! What is everyone's GOTY thus far?

For me, I think it's either Oxygen not Included or Dota Underlords.
Reading this made me realize I haven't bought a lot of 2019 releases yet (except for Metro: Exodus, which I'm regretting).

GOTY that's not from this year has to be Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
 
I thought it was not suppose to be something to challenge you, but more of a narrative ?? Watched it with the wife, which is why she loved it so much.
I guess I just expected something different from it. I think the game is fine but there are moments (like boss battles) that feel underwhelming due to the basic gameplay mechanics.

Having the broadcasting feature on the store page and having it start up (without sound to not intrude the customer) automatically is a smart move as it makes you want to watch the game being played live instead of loading up a video in the store page or having to check YT for a video. The live gameplay is served right to you automatically.

Mordhau followed by Sekiro, but that's because those are the only 2019 games that I played. Or remember playing. However, if late PC ports counts, then Yakuza K2 is my actual GOTY so far.

Sega please
Damn, Epic, Koch, Private Division, THQN. I don't like these names.

There's still almost 5 months left :P

Disregarding that, my current GOTY would be Digimon Cyber Sleuth.... oh wait that's not out yet.

Ähem.
Devil May Cry 5 followed by Touhou Luna Nights.

Sekiro for sure but that is the only new game I played all year long thus far...(not counting Castlevania Anniversary). This has been a backlog year for me. Need to buy some more 2019 stuff later this year during black friday and winter sales. Also need to find some time to fuck around with Gamepass since there are a bunch of new titles in that library. I still haven't bothered with it since MS announced the new app.


Sega please


Bamco better mean Elden Ring gameplay premiere.

Microsoft Studios better mean MCC release dates.

And yea Epic will most likely announce more moneyhats. I can see them yank Code Vein or Surge 2 off the steam store later in sept since both are releasing 2 days apart.

Also probably moneyhats for next year. Best guess will be Dying Light 2 as their next big title.

Nah Epic bouta announce they moneyhatted Digimon and Ni No Kuni /s.

But honestly I wouldnt be shocked if Dying Light 2 was their big gamescon announcement.

I dont see bamco playing ball. They can barely support Steam releases.

I don't see Rockstar agreeing to it tbh. They make majority of the $$$ with online in those games. They need the biggest playerbase possible to sell stupid gold bars and currency to people. Without Steam they'll legitimately be losing a lot of money. Especially seeing how successful GTAV still is on Steam. The concurrent #s doubled recently with the casino update.

Not like Rockstar has no experience with delaying releases. they could make a 3-month or 6-month exclusivity (like Borderlands3) for hundreds of millions of Dollar and bet on people primarily buying on rockstar social club and months later on Steam
 

Rip port dream, probably that hero shooter Creative Assembly is doing.

An Alex Kidd AAA Remaster. You heard it here first!

This is nice, I have viewed the broadcasting things as a means for devs to advertise their games (I think there can be some "abuse" here by some devs, that one JRPG inspired games having been on there a lot was always suspicious to me, the fact that almost always had something like 300 people watching it just felt "off"), and if you know how to use it you can get more exposure for your game this way. So Steam is basically giving you a means to have your game stand out from others (making this just another of a handful of ways to advertise your game within the Steam ecosystem).

It does seem to have some limitations but I do like it and I do watch some of these every once in a while (this is what I was talking about earlier with the sense of community that Steam has that some other places don't have), it does also seem like they have moderation options for the streams as well so that's nice.


Speaking of as per usual, Digital Devolver is doing a Steam Broadcast right now.
