notoriusvig Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 It'd be great if I could play all my backlog of games on my tv. I hope this works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligerbusa Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I already have my PC connected to my TV but I guess I could do with a more powerful machine. I need some Steam friends to try and get in on the beta. Same username if anyone wants to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew POE! Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 That's great...where's Half-Life 3/Half-Life 2 Episode 3 and Left 4 Dead 3? Most of this stuff with Valve is just their efforts to avoid doing anything with Half-Life. Sure, I'll be able to play DOTA 2 & Team Fortress 2 on a HDTV with a dedicated device.

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 pretty sure the team running steam is not the team making games, so them doing something with their Steam warchest =/= "avoiding half-life 3" the last thing I heard about the dev team is that they were making some totally bonkers space sim. There was a big NeoGAF thread on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Also, Valve clearly doesn't give a fuck about any of us. Which (just like the women we are) makes us want them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Nonsense. THEY'RE REALLY GOING TO CHANGE THIS TIME, YOU'LL SEE! Also, this could be a pretty awesome deal overall if it's done well.

Red is Dead Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I find this really interesting. Havent upgraded my pc in years - but want to play some of the more modern games on it. I really think i would go for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 What's great is that SteamOS will be open for everyone, so if you wanted to build your own SteamOS box, or even dual boot, you could. What makes this whole thing insanely great is the ability to sling whatever game you want to play from your Steam Machine to your laptop, PC, and I would imagine similar hubs that are capable of receiving the stream from your central Steam Machine. Some may scoff due to the OnLive comparison, but this is entirely different since you're relying on your own in home network, which won't be subject to the same interference you would receive while using something like OnLive. Over a wireless N or better network, you're sitting pretty, but if your home is wired for ethernet, you shouldn't have any issues at all. I'm excited for this.

Gonzalez Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I know everybody is like "It's Valve, so they know what they are doing". But if Motorola decided to come out with a new home console, and this was their controller, people would be shitting on it for years to come.

Scizzy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The 360 controller has already perfected the analog stick, so I'm glad Valve is trying something so weird. It'll probably be terrible, but by all accounts the new XBox 1 controller and the DS4 and will be compatible with PCs so no harm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 "Valve is releasing a thing" feels like a more appropriate title than ever now, having seen that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 That...has to be a joke, right? How would that even work? Who in their right mind thinks B/A/X/Y/W/Bl/Etc buttons on the LEFT side of the controller is functional...at all. Even left handed people think that's a weird design choice. Not to mention that it's been pretty well established that you need tactile buttons on the right side of the controller. So stupid. Come on, Valve. Is there any legit reason why we're seeing this before ANYTHING Half-Life 3 related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJay Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 http://kotaku.com/valves-controller-has-been-tested-here-are-some-impre-1415579308 Here is some reviews of it from developers.
