jrrtoken Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Alien Swarm. Yeah, that sure got your attention. Before you slay the messenger, at least hear me out: Valve's returned to their pastime of amalgamating mod teams, with Alien Swarm being a UT2004 mod. Basically, it's a top-down tactical shooter, and plays kinda like Diablo, I guess. This release is, however, unique for two reasons: the source code and all of the tools that were utilized to make Alien Swarm is included with the game, including the Source SDK, promising a more user-friendly modding experience for burgeoning, would-be modders. The second reason? It's free. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan 411 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Normally, I would usually not pay attention to this kinda stuff, but seeing how it's being developed by Valve, (one of the few remaining "good" developers left in the gaming industry) I probably will give it a try. Hey, it beats having Team Fortress 2 updating every single hour; constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 That's nice and all but it doesn't hold my interest, UT2004 love notwithstanding. Now Valve handling a new version of Unreal Tournament - that would be music to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedak Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Really fun game! Beat it last night on Normal and Hard with some friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Gives me all the more reason to get all that TPB stuff off my machine...though I downloaded it publicly and saved it to a flash and sorted through it BEFORE it touched my machine.
