it'll probably cost like $1k ... sadlyI think a handheld device which can run a selection of games out of the box and also stream your entire Steam library makes quite a bit off sense.
If they can build it at a somewhat approachable price that this. Which seems quite difficult on X86, especially now.
oh damn!Wow. They're actually doing something:
There's a new branch.
Can't wait to see what they break.
2 of my relatives at least have shown interest in getting a pc for gamingit IS a PC, but clearly in a console form factor. Key here is that no multiple systems release at the same time, 2 max. and all must be Valve, no third parties.
I would expect a similar price point to the Index general pack (1000€ or so)I think a handheld device which can run a selection of games out of the box and also stream your entire Steam library makes quite a bit of sense.

I mean, the PC handheld scene is booming right now, lots of devices that look AMAZING!2 of my relatives at least have shown interest in getting a pc for gaming
This'll be a great option or alternative but it all comes down to availability and regions where it would br sold for commendable price
And it won't be sold in my country like anything else Valve sells.it'll probably cost like $1k ... sadly
yes, that tooAnd it won't be sold in my country like anything else Valve sells.
That is exactly what I expect, yeah.Yes. I simply don't think Valve has what it takes to introduce a platform with any form of certification requirements. (And that's not necessarily a bad thing)
I'm not sure how that could be the case. Unless you don't want to run the existing Steam library of tens of thousands of games. Which is the whole point, is it not?
If there's a list of games, it needs to be a selection done and maintained by Valve which works out of the box (but hopefully the device wouldn't be limited to just that selection).
so ... a Switch, but good?If the future rumoured steam console turns out to be portable, if that can be connected to a screen, I would be ok with that.

yeah , being able to play my existing steam library on a handheld is pretty much sole reason i bought GPD Win3 over the likes of SwitchI think a handheld device which can run a selection of games out of the box and also stream your entire Steam library makes quite a bit of sense.

But first, what’s Convoy? Convoy is a new multiplayer game mode for ETS2/ATS, where players can set-up and host their own private sessions (password optional) to drive with their friends or other fellow truckers. There is currently support for synchronized AI traffic, time and weather, and the ability to take the same job as other players. There is also an option, before you leave the Convoy, to restore your game progress to a previous save game state, which may be handy if you are not happy with what happened to your truck, cargo, or wallet during your Convoy driving session.
1k seems too much. It will be a premium device for sure but I would go with around 600$.it'll probably cost like $1k ... sadly
Hey some make the argument that a 30% cut suddenly goes from being daylight robbery to justifed once it's covering a walled garden. 4D chess move from Valve. [UWSL][/UWSL]Maybe Valve has gone full Apple, and will lock down their handheld, so you cannot install anything but Steam games on it, nor run any other software. Then you could actually call it a console.
But yeah, there's little distinction between the two words anymore, even "consoles" are just locked down PCs these days.
Steam Link integration for sure, yes, something like playing on their servers? no or at least I highly doubt it.I wonder if this rumored Valve handheld would integrate something like xCloud outside of just web browser support. It seems like something MS would like to support with Game Pass (or maybe I'm just expressing some wishful thinking).
Every gamer is using a "single configuration" for his gaming PC between upgrades, that doesn't make the games require any less tinkering. I guess they could introduce something like Nvidia's automatic settings thing (which I don't use but I guess some do) but they probably can't easily do it for every single game in the catalogue given they're thousands with vastly different methods of saving and changing the settings, what folder and type of file it's saved in, if it even needs a first run to generate the first configuration in the registry or not, etc. Same as Nvidia I guess, it doesn't work for every game, but generally does for the average new release, probably. And you'll still need to note the specs of the machine(s) they're selling and gauge if they will even run the games you want to run well for the foreseeable future by their ever changing and evolving requirements, how they stack up compared to others, etc. So, that sort of tinkering and checking specs and everything. Just like when buying and using any other PC build, AIO, whatever. On top of having to check how good a job Proton or whatever does for this or that game compared to native WIndows play etc. I don't see how there could be no tinkering for a PC, by Valve or anyone.I strongly doubt it. A single configuration would not need any tinkering.
I've covered all this in this post, why did you only read and respond to the first line?I don't think that's even remotely what people mean when they say "a single configuration".
Certainly if I used that phrase, I would mean "all instances of <device class> use the same or equivalent hardware / software". I don't see why that would be less true of a hypothetical Steam device than it is of Sony's or Nintendo's. (Well, modulo the question, at least of the software side, of the extent to which said device might be open or locked down...)
I'd really hope so, but I currently don't see a viable way to build that (assuming Valve isn't willing to lose money on it or create something substandard, both of which seem unlikely IMHO).1k seems too much. It will be a premium device for sure but I would go with around 600$.
json code had "to the desktop" information. So it probably is something akin to SteamOS were it boots initially into Steam UI but you can access desktop if you so want.I wonder if this rumored Valve handheld would integrate something like xCloud outside of just web browser support.

Expectations: Bloodborne PC

I don't think Valve is willing to lose money on it either. They are probably fine with being flat tho at first and make profit selling software with it if the attach/buy rates are high.I'd really hope so, but I currently don't see a viable way to build that (assuming Valve isn't willing to lose money on it or create something substandard, both of which seem unlikely IMHO).
Maybe there will be a good cheaper suitable SoC/APU for it next year -- all assuming this is actually a thing.

Different stroke for different folks, I've only bought one new release game this year; Hitman 3.I haven't bought a game since Snowrunner, so 1 week. My plate is so fully packed that Ive had to push myself not to buy anything.
Always funny to read on Reddit, ERA and other places people with nothing to play. Never have there been more games to play than today. Broaden your horizons. 4 years ago I could never imagine myself playing factory/management games like Dyson, Factorio, Satisfactory, Oxygen and driving games like Snowrunner. These days I love those types of games.
Depends if you have tried games in genres you haven't played before.Different stroke for different folks, I've only bought one new release game this year; Hitman 3.
Only one game 5 months into the year is unheard of for me.
I've spent this year with Game Pass and ruthlessly weeding out my backlog.
I'll likely get Nier and RE8 soon though, but Game Pass has taught me to be more patient, and simply getting older has taught me to be more selective.
Just a week ago:Virtua Fighter 5 PS4 exclusive?
Better be a console exclusive.
By simultaneously launching the game on multiple platforms and in multiple languages, the company will be able to concentrate its marketing costs, which were previously spread out over a period of time, and thus reduce them.
i more or less fully agree. People hold boneworks in high regard, and I think that’s fair at least in terms and effort and ambition, but the IK model and movement systems feel awful to me in the same way. Typically frustrating and take me entirely out of feeling like I’m inhabiting a space and more like I’m trying to manipulate a puppet on strings
I hope they'll officially call it the "GabeBoy"
Doubtful. The development of this likely has been ongoing for a long time we’ll before EGS etc, and utilisation of android is completely pointless. This would be a terrible way of making business decisions and would reflect in the final product that way.What if SteamPal is an Android device with a Steam Android store that also supports streaming from PCs?
We know Epic is looking to get in on Android and Valve may have decided it's a good idea too.
Yeah it gives me Game Boy vibes.I think we all agree that SteamPal is a very cute name.
NahI hope they'll officially call it the "GabeBoy"

Literally what I said after that interview. They'll keep saying how multiplat releases are the key to profit, and then just shove Sony cock further down their throats. Japanese publishers can't help but suck it after all. Pic below is Sega.
