I rather doubt that the linux version of steam will, itself, be open source. Unless you just mean in the sense of making Linux a viable gaming OS.

[Bongo Bill]

Valve porting their stuff over to Linux will be good for the maturity of the Linux versions of a lot of game-related technology.

Nobody mentioned open source.

That said, two things:

1. Once this is released, Valve will presumably also release API's that make for easier cross-compiling -- like they've done with OSX.  If even a small percentage of Steam devs use start using those tools, that's going to make Linux much bigger for gaming.

2. If the rumors about Valve releasing its own console turn out to be true, then no, that still doesn't mean the client will be open-source, but Valve WILL presumably be making its own kernel tweaks and releasing them back.

I guess at this point we need to figure out what Microsoft will call their own Brawl game

[Smiler]

Master Chief's Shut Up and Jam Gaiden.

[Ziiro]

Master Chief in a fist fight with Marcus Fenix on a level that's final destination, but it's Crackdown themed. On the other end of the stage, Alan Wake is fighting Commander Shepard wielding that Sword of Aeons from fable as an item he picked up.



[spoiler]but seriously I'd rather play that bullshit than this PS3 one. Who gives a shit about any PS3 characters?[/spoiler]

[patito]

Shepard is not a Microsoft related character.

It's 26 days late for April Fools.

In all seriousness: Can't Nintendo sue them for this? It's awfully derivative.

[Ted Belmont]

In the video, even the dude standing in a hallway talking about it(who is presumably one of the people who made the damn thing) doesn't seem all that enthusiastic about it.

IIRC you can't sue people for ripping off gameplay mechanics.

[Shinra]

It's more that it's designed from the ground up to perfectly replicate Brawl's visual style, right down to the interface using the same font and colors. In addition to completely ripping off Brawl's unique gameplay mechanics

[Ziiro]

Shepard is not a Microsoft related character.

I still think he's more iconic to the 360 Franchise than any other. Besides, the list of completely exclusive 360 characters is laughable. They'd have to stretch.

[Classic]

And you know, Sonic's not a Nintendo character, etc. etc. It's not unlikely that similar deals are going to be made for this.

Brawl's unique gameplay mechanics

I don't know which mechanics you're talking about but I can't think of anything offhand that Nintendo really has a solid lock on.

[Ziiro]

Percentage based damage and ring-out only deaths on large levels involving items and a wide variety of characters.

I think the only thing they've changed is the damage systems, as some players seem to get straight up killed in that video.

[Crouton]

Does this one have tripping too?

[patito]

This is not the only videogame that uses brawl mechanics, and nintendo knows better than to sue for ridiculous reasons.

EDIT: eddied my post because I typed "same" instead of "only" and the sentence didn't make any sense.

[Brentai]

The last time another game company ripped Smash Brothers off wholesale Nintendo got so pissed that they put one of the company's flagship characters in Brawl.
