The time invested and devs are peanuts for Valve, and they do have a reason to do so. If you haven’t played Left 4 Dead 2, this is a perfect opportunity to try it out: the co-op game is free to play on Steam this weekend, up through Sunday. I do not even play TF, but valve has a record of bringing their IPs very late to new engines and often still rely on outdated features which are pretty much deprecated even using the current engine (or things which were in place since former engines did not support it and they never migrated to the capabilities provided on the new engine), in end they always did it, late, often years later but they did. Most likely just too much to do to get it in time.That's some wishful thinking right there. I am pretty sure about that, but since they flagged it only playable, it's certeinly coming after the release, but they will do it. Quoting: STiAT Quoting: TrainDoc Quoting: STiATThey will be doing a TF2 update. Will you be pumping hours into either of these on Deck? Let us know in the comments.
Do you think Valve will ever go back and properly update TF2?
It's no surprise to see Left 4 Dead 2 getting high marks though, since it did just get updated recently.
Part of all titles getting to the status of Verified, gamepad input needs to be rock solid. Dead Air Beta Released JL4D Team Thanks to your hard work a few weeks ago, we are releasing a beta version of Dead Air for Left 4 Dead 2 today.This will be available on the Xbox 360 later this summer as part of the full Cold Stream DLC. Looks like playing Left 4 Dead 2 on the upcoming Steam Deck will be a pretty good experience, with Valve pushing out a fresh update today to be ready for it. While on one hand it shows that Valve have work to do even for their owns games, on the other it shows they're at least honest about Deck compatibility. Left 4 Dead 2 gets updated ready for the Steam Deck. For TF2 the issues seem to be a mix of text being too small and it doesn't have the best gamepad support. However, in the case of Team Fortress 2 it's only mentioned that it's Playable. Left 4 Dead 2 appears fully Verified for Steam Deck, so out of the box it should be a great experience overall. Years in the making, The Last Stand is a massive Left 4 Dead 2 update created entirely by the L4D community. Earlier we saw that Half-Life 2 is now verified and we know this once again thanks to SteamDB, who track basically everything Steam. Both Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2 popped up recently. What's that? More Valve games will be able to run on the Steam Deck? You got that right.
