The Xmas Bundle

The titles to be offered will include an exclusive, specially remastered adventure game compilation debut (Steam for PC, Desura for PC, DRM-free PC download), an unlikely-themed multiplayer FPS (Steam for PC), a cult puzzle action game (Steam for PC and Mac, Desura for PC, DRM-free PC and Mac download), and an overlooked sim-action title (Desura for PC, DRM-free PC download).

Since they usually only have one game that works on Mac, I am just going to wait and see if it it worth the $5. But if the Humble Bundle did pre-orders, I would do it without thinking twice!

Not sure I'd call it awful (I participated in a free weekend), it's just not worth what they want for it. Mods with that level of quality used to be free.

Hard Reset isn't a multiplayer FPS, it only has a single player campaign and the survival mode. So wishful thinking there. :/ I liked the demo, but I didn't buy it because it's way overpriced for how short it is.

If you mean mean Portal by Valve then you're stupid as Valve is not an indie developer and this bundle is for indie games, hence then name Indie Royale

So far, the best guess for remastered adventure game I've heard is the Blackwell bundle.

Since they've already given the preorder bonus I'll prolly just wait till the day it's released. Especially since one game won't be on Steam I want to be sure the other games are worth the money.

i'm not sure it's about whether the games are worth $3 (even though it's nothing really) but it's for charity, So regardless, i've preordered anyway :)

IR does not donate to charity as far as I know unless you consider buying the indie devs games charity.

Yeah I ain't gonna pre-order this one, it was good they put the descriptions/hints this time but based on those I can only say maybe 1 or 2 of the games perk my interest, also I have no interest in a Christmas album, 8-bit or not.
I pre-ordered the last one and while I don't regret it, could've been better (though the bundle was worth it for Eufloria, and Cthulhu Saves the World/Breath of Death VII too if I didn't already have CStW/BoD VII that is).

No pre-order this time around from me, however I am interested in what the bundle may offer as per usual.

Like others here, I will wait to see if this one is any good. The last indie royale was very disappointing, the best thing from it was the album I got from preordering. I haven't even touched any of the games (except for Breath of Death 7, but I already owned that and Call of Cthulhu), but I hope they can restore my faith with this bundle.

IMO who the hell wants to pre-order a bundle when they have no fricking idea what it's going to be?

For game collectors such as myself, patience is a virtue. I recommend that everyone should wait.

I think if they made the pre-orders a tad more compelling like how the Humble Bundles used to 'surprise' people with additions later, it might make people want to pre-order more.

Unlike the Humble Bundles, the IndieRoyales seem to be immune to "Steam AppID Reveals" so there would be some actual anticipation for this.

No, pre-orders were made to make their server loads smaller.

Comment has been collapsed.

My point was that they could use a better carrot to make pre-ordering more appealing.

Again similar to the old Humble Bundles a 'reveal' of an extra game only mid-way through the bundle, for those who pre-ordered would make people consider pre-ordering to be a viable option. Obviously you still have a risk aspect, but if the extra was compelling enough then people would probably pre-order more.

Right now an extra 8-bit OST is nice but I don't think it's a big enough carrot to compell people to pre-order something especially given the blinded nature of the games right now.

Using your idea of guessing I might as well search the entirety of Steam and use a random number generator to pick 4 games. Unless you are tailoring your guesses to indie games they are as worthless as my hypothetical random number generated guesses.

for adventure it looks like it could be Blackwell and if its that's not a deal maker, fps is probably Zeno Clash, EYE: Divine Cybermancy, Nuclear Dawn or Dino D-Day and only one i have Zeno Clash and don't care about Nuclear Dawn or Dino D-Day, puzzle could be some of the Puzzle Agent and the likes and i also don't care for those and last one is not on steam and it's some sim game and i have no idea what it could be :). So far it makes a buy for me only if it's Eye: Divine Cybermancy and that's becouse it's only game that i would actualy play and don't already have.

I had to look that up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_(video_game)

"A new, independent enhanced remake was announced in October 2009. It is developed by Golgoth Studio and will be released at the end of 2011 for PC on Steam and on home consoles XBLA, PlayStation Network, and WiiWare in early 2012."

I might consider it if there was charity involved, but even if it's cheap, just buying something unknown that I may or may not have, and if I don't have then may or may not like, feels pretty stupid to me.
