Thanks to the ever more awesome SteamDB, we have a possible list of games Valve will demo on Steam Machines at GDC, and the list is interesting.

The List (As of 22/02/15)
- Don't Starve
- Darkest Dungeon
- SteamDB Unknown App 346960 (hmmm...)
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- The Talos Principle
- Batman™: Arkham Origins
- METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES
- Tomb Raider I
- GRID Autosport

Before anyone gets too excited, remember part of SteamOS is game streaming, so certain games might only be streamed. However, for Steam Machines to really take off, why would they still show Windows games? This has me thinking they could well be all native. GRID, METAL GEAR and Batman could be pretty huge for us, and we really do need a good racing game.

I actually had GRID back from when I used Windows, and I couldn't fault it. If it does come to Linux I will no doubt buy some DLC and extra copies to show my own support of it.

The interesting "SteamDB Unknown App 346960" has us puzzled too, as it's too high an ID number for a Valve game, but that can easily be changed their end, so it could be to throw us off. It's probably nothing interesting though.
The SteamDB guys even note "Relax people, it's most certainly not Half-Life 3.".

It's time to really start getting excited now, so what are your thoughts?

GDC is right around the corner, and all I want to know is when I can get my hands on that damned controller! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: N30NIf you look at the depots it seems to be the Tomb Raider Trilogy, not just the first one.

that would probably be no.1 wish for ports for me. as TR fan, those 3 are by far best from series. 2013 is lacking in every aspect but graphics to be considered TR

Quoting: maodzedunBtw, speaking of ports we'd like to see - Bethesda games and especially the Fallouts and Skyrim would be nice. Though knowing Bethesda, we'd probably see Half Life 3 before that happens. Even if Linux had, say, 30% market share, Bethesda, EA and Ubisoft would be like: "Yeah, but...".
You'll probably see Half-Life 4 before a Bethesda game shows up on Linux.

Hold on, did someone say Half Life 3 ?

Clearly HL3 :P
I didn't understand how the link is related, but I would appreciate advice on gaming headsets; I'll probably open a forum post on this subject ^^

About speculation, I would advise a "wait and see" approach, don't get your hopes too high, otherwise you may get disappointed.
I am really eager to have a steam controller in my hands, though. But I will probably wait a bit after its release to purchase one, because it is likely they will change the design shortly after the release, IMO, given its evolution until now.

Tomb raider for linux is a must!
One day I was hoping that they would bring it so that i could buy it.
I hope !

If they release steamOS with exclusive half life 3.. will be epic
i cant imagine people from windows using something like "Line"? to be able to play haha REVENGE!

They already said it: they won't release exclusivities. HL3, when (if?) released, will be available on Windows / MacOS / Linux. Valve has absolutely no interest in pissing off a part of its customers base (moreover the one that represents 95 % of the market).

SteamOS and the Steam Machines are only a way of acquiring new customers on Steam (the console players). They're not meant at all to replace existing systems, they're here to complement them.

I'm pretty sure that Valve doesn't really care is the Steam Machines are a failure, they don't even sell them. If they fail, the loss will be on the hardware partners. they won't promote them as a way to replace Windows setups, they'll do it as a way to have a second PC for the living room. The fact that it runs Linux is really a detail.

It wasn't related. This mouse I have pastes the last thing you copy if you press the mouse wheel too hard for some reason... So accident :).

I'm talking about games published by Bethesda on Linux, of course. You could also mention Doom (1, 2, 3) and Quake (1, 2, 3, 4) as they have native Linux version from before id was bought. But they're not available comercially on Linux.
