It looks like it's meant for an adult that doesn't want to have a shiny blinking toy next to the TV.

>>725652710
I already have a PC for that

>>725652420
steam deck without a screen

What's the ideal gaming device for me? I hate Steam, I hate Valve, I hate Half-Life, I hate the Steam Deck, I hate Gabe Newell, and I hate PC gaming in general.

I dread the day they announce that damn Half-Life 3.

So I'd like a gaming device that's anti-PC gaming and gives me the image of someone who hates Steam and hates Gabe Newell.

They should've waited for UDNA SoCs on the console. It's going to be too fucking expensive or underpowered.

if they're not announcing any cool exclusive it's fucking dead

Well it's a given that it'll be PC exclusive because Valve fucking hates console certification processes.

>>725652762
lol, lmao

>>725652091 (OP)
What games will be on it?

I'm unironically retarded but is this basically a steam console?like can I hook it up to my tv and Play steam games or is this a PC?

Why would a smartphone be my ideal gaming device?

>>725653485
What's the difference?

>>725653536
If it's like the Steam Deck one it'll be mushy as fuck and bad at diagonals.

>>725653485
You know you can hook up a pc to your tv right?

>>725652091 (OP)
ah great, another underpowered and overpriced piece shit like the steam deck, yeah not thanks

>>725653485
Steam Console. Specs around PS5 level.
>like can I hook it up to my tv and Play steam games
You can do that with a PC too, genius. A Steam Console is basically a prebuilt PC with SteamOS.

>>725653446
all of them

>>725653939
I don't want to use the vr headset, is that necessary?

>>725652091 (OP)
So it’s just another steam machine but with a vr headset?

>>725653731
I do not worship false gods and I do not bow down to false lords.

>>725652748
So will most people who purchase one. It's just optional hardware for people who want multiple setups in different rooms. It's going to be extremely niche.

>>725653485
It's a Steam Deck, minus the screen and integrated controls, so you hook it up to a screen and pair a controller and you're playing PC games...

If they sell it at cost it could be a really cheap entry level gaming PC.

>>725654159
No. You can just play normal games with the controller.

>>725654168
Yes

I know you're just... baiting or something, (I actually don't know what this post is even supposed to be, a joke?) but serious answer: a chinkheld.
Pick one that has the power to play the consoles you want to play, make sure the reviews are good, then have at it.

There's just something special about pulling out a dedicated device from your shirt pocket to play some romhack while waiting for an appointment at some doctor's office.

it's a console that you can change to 'pc mode' by going to a menu. the default experience requires you to do zero pc things

>>725658313
Why are you so mad

>>725652091 (OP)
The only reason to buy a console game is to play exclusive games, when there are very few of nowadays. Most new AAAs are crap enough that people with low or mid-end PCs can already enjoy their favourite prev-gen games without upgrading and those with high-end PCs don't care about cuck systems. Like, you can get a Steamdeck or a Switch if you want handheld, or a PS5 if you want to watch netflix on a big screen.

>>725652091 (OP)
Unironically excited for the controller. The OG controller was great, but needing a dongle and AA batteries sucks nowadays. I love the trackpads and feel of the Steam Deck and a controller with the same form/function is exactly what I've been looking for to replace my DualShock.

The Cube is a maybe, I tend to dock my SD and use it from the couch, but having a dedicated box for streaming from my PC plus the controller is certainly enticing.

Don't care for the VR thing tho.

>>725660910
name 3 vr games

>>725660820
no, but I'm conscious of what I buy from them. If anything I dislike them more for bowing to credit card companies.
Steam was always a little inclusive and progressive, but you can't buy a pack of cheese in this day and age if you hard up boycott anything in that direction.

>>725659017
actually, yes

>>725655793
gabe has the infinite money glitch that is steam, he can afford to make a vr headset he wants to use and even if literally no one buys it he doesn't care, he's already recovered all expenses in the time it took me to type this post

>STILL pushing VR
you tried, gabe. it didn't take. it's over. just give up and move on

I'm really curious how much they'll charge for the new Steam Machine.

If it's $300-$400, I think that would be an incredible value and, at that price, it'll be a no-brainer to buy a Steam Machine. However, if it's any more expensive than that you're better off just building your own PC or upgrading a used PC. The Steam Machine is going to have very limited-to-no upgrade paths. You can't assume that the Steam Machine is going to sell well because the Deck has done well. The Deck being a handheld makes it a fun novelty, whereas you don't necessarily need a new PC.

I really have my doubts they'll sell it cheap. It's probably going to be $600-$800 and I think it's going to be a FLOP at that price. Selling it cheap isn't necessarily a good idea either because what if people decide to buy it because it's so cheap and then just install Windows 11 on it and ignore buying Steam games? You could say the same thing about the Deck but, again, Deck is a handheld and there's basically no reason to do stuff in "desktop mode."

A fuckin Playstation you pleb.

>>725663951
Any games that require more than 8GB aren't good

>>725664019
It'll be interesting to see how well it sells this time. I'll be amazed if Steam Machine goes well this time. I really do think it should be cheaper than a Steam Deck. The intelligent thing to do would be to take the guts of a Steam Deck and put it in a box. With no screen, no controller, and no battery, you end up with something cheaper than a Deck.

>>725664375
i think it will probably perform noticeably better than the last time. first because streamers made pc gaming more mainstream, and second because proton means you can actually just play games on it. it is still just a branded pre-built so i doubt it will be a massive hit, but it's not going to completely flop

>>725652091 (OP)

>>725664375
Their target should be 8-18 year old kids who want to buy a gaming PC but cant afford them. This used to be the target age of consoles before they became completely unappealing. It has to be cheap to hit an unserved market, everyone rich enough to buy a full spec PC doesnt need one or has been playing PC games long enough they could probably build an SFF pc out of spare parts if they were that desperate for a living room PC. My 8-10 year old SFF PC has the same specs as this and is barely double the size.

>>725652091 (OP)
The VR headset is the only device that really interests me, but it will also be insanely expensive judging by the Index and I don't think Valve is interested in taking a cut to try and achieve mass market appeal like Meta.

Shame. I just want to try out a decent VR headset without taking out a mortgage or selling my soul to Zuck.

>>725665401
good

>>725665890
It's not that fancy, it might be cheaper than the Quest, or atleast go for 500

>>725665890
i doubt it'll cost as much as an index

>>725666000
>>725666028
>>725666108
Don't get me wrong I don't think it will be Index or Apple Vision levels or anything, but I can't see it being near the same level as a Quest 3.

Then again. for some reason VR headsets sold at retail are insanely overpriced in my country. So maybe Valve's direct to consumer model will balance the price a bit.

>>725666529
future man, you arrived before the quest 4's price was released, i do not know how much that is

>16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM

I'll buy the controller at least.

>>725652748
It's for console players who are ready to ditch their nogamez machines but not ready to build a PC.

>Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark averaged 65fps at medium settings with basic ray tracing turned on, while being upscaled to 4K from a native 1080p output using AMD’s FSR 3.0. The benchmark never dipped below 58 frames per second, and when I took the controls for a spin in one of the more demanding regions of the game, the lowest I saw was 55fps in a quick firefight.

FSR3 is literally unusable. Cyberpunk supports FSR4. That means the GPU can't run 4? Valve using garbage bin chips.

>>725667108
>wanting to play cybercuck
might as well come out of the closet desu

>>725653914
no you fucking cant

>>725667108
I think you can run fsr 4 on rdna3 on linux, although it's not as efficient as it is on rdna4.

>>725667108
Relying that heavily on FSR without support for FSR 4 seems insane. This console is going to struggle immediately, there's a target audience for people who dont have a console or a pc but that is pretty small. This almost feels like the specs I would expect from a prototype deck 2.0, modern games at 1080p while just falling short of 60fps.

>>725667525
anon are you retarded

>>725667604
No, we have a fallback implementation from a github leak that runs on older GPUs with reduced perf. That means their chip cant run native 4.

>>725667607
yes

of all the things i just cant believe they didn't call it the steam cube i mean i wont be buying one cause my PC is better by every metric but still
i will be buying the controller cause i wanted the steamdeck experience on my PC and i will also be guying the headset as an upgrade to my aging DYING quest 3 though im pissed its still LCD WHY VALVE? im hoping it will at least work natively with linux and i can finally escape this windows (every week is a new AI code breakage) hell

>>725663518

>>725667841
Well I guess that's gonna be a big selling point when they inevitably release an upgraded version with 32gb of ram and an rdna4 gpu. Probably around the same time that they're gonna release an oled steam frame.

yeah nah, getting a psvr2 when it's on sale (again)

>>725668986
you know if you build a PC it doesn't have to have ANY RGB in it right?

>>725652091 (OP)
The controller looks so bad to hold and the buttons on the back being actual buttons is retarded, not sure how but MS nailed how a controller should be, the paddles are longer and are comfortable to click regardless if you have large fingers or not because it's a paddle, so you press wherever is more comfortable. They are also metal so they feel good to press, unlike the plastic they will probably use on the Steam controller

>>725669346
yeah, I never use the back-buttons on my Steam Deck. They aren't comfortable to press and there's no point to them.

>>725669279
that's what they told me, and then i plugged everything in and it was rainbow anyway

>>725668986
you could just buy a big empty black case and not add any rgb shit into it.

>>725669470
i set the ones on the left to be A and B so i can smoke with my right hand and play jrpgs with my left

>>725669279
i don't want to

>>725669492
so turn it all off? you know you con control the RGB in your PC right?

these are the people telling us windows is better than linux

>>725669470
you are meant to press them by "gripping" your finger i used to think they where bizarrely hard to press until i tried it that way

I'ma buy the controller

>>725655793

>>725669690
It is if a retard like that can use it

what did he mean by this?

>>725660820
It's pretty obvious they hired some marketing firm to make a commercial. I really don't think Steam employees cast trannies.

>>725669346
I thought there were patent issues, that's why they couldn't use paddles.

>>725666562
I don't want to install an early version of it. Kinda scared of fully switching to Linux so I wanna get the best introduction to it I can get

>>725670860
the linux part of it is just linux, i doubt it will be especially different

>>725670860
>Kinda scared of fully switching to Linux
It's an operating system not a rabid animal. There's nothing to be scared of.

>>725670860
if you are using a quest 3 for VR dont even bother it leaves a lot to be desired as far as ALVR creates a ton of lag and hold ups even when it does work i am hoping the steam frame works with linux natively cause then ill be swapping to that

I copy paste shit from the Google AI overview into my terminal all the time and its fine. Just don't be retarded.

The box is obviously targeting more console players than existing pc gamers but is that even feasible right now on a linux based device? I mean most console players just want to play CoD, Sportsball games, or Cookie cutter shooters with EAC and the last I checked all those games don't support linux/proton or has changed in the last couple years?

>implying southerners aren't reddit as fuck
Imagine fighting a war to stop Lincoln from kicking your niggers out.

I'm the steam deck's biggest fan, in fact it's my primary gaming device these days (I moved and never bothered to get a real PC), BUT, doesn't this thing not run AAA games?

The lack of anticheat on the big games really feels like it limits the market. I can play Arc Raiders, but if people want to play battlefield they can't on the GabeCube without installing windows which makes it hardly plug and play.

I might just be dumb though, can someone explain the logic? I suppose if this is $400 or less I'll buy it but otherwise don't see the point.

valve is gonna fuck this up in the stupidest way
nothing will be upgradable not even the internal storage

>>725674301
surely not all AAA is kernel level anti-cheat. steam deck works fine with denuvo

>>725674569
I don't really play AAA games (Arc Raiders is the first I've played in years), but I've been told most don't work at all if they are multiplayer, like Fortnite, Apex, Valorant, League, Roblox, which I hear is most of the PC gaming market.

>>725674549
What, like you think the components are gonna be soldered into the board or something? I find that unlikely.

>>725674301
If you strip a windows install down and then install Steam and set it to launch in Big Picture on boot its essentially the same exact UI as the Steam Deck rn. But the anticheat issue is literally just anticheat companies refusing to make their shit worn on linux. Its not impossible to do, Valve's anticheat is on it and it works well enough that it keeps TF2 and CS clean.

>>725674829
I know that's the issue, I'm talking more in terms of appeal, it's kind of a chicken and egg thing I guess, but I think steam will really have to underprice these to sell. If they can hit $300 for the gabecube I think it could take off, but any more than that will be a struggle.

>>725674819
yes thats exactly what i think and they will have some lame excuse as to why as well just incase someone whines

>>725674710
AAA online multiplayer, i guess, is probably all unplayable on linux

>>725675041
Until that is fixed I can't see it taking off, steam needs to lean on the other devs.

>>725674549
If they made the steamdeck, a handheld device, upgradable, you really think they wouldnt make a whole pc sized pc have an m.2 slot? It also has an SD card slot.

>is called the steam machine

honestly can see people buying this and putting it in their living rooms. Basically a game console with the added benefit of being a computer which is pretty big for normies.

>>725674301
tbqh anticheat support is all over the place. some companies support linux, some dont, some started doing it for a while and then stopped
but also dual booting was supposed to be a steam deck feature at one point, idk what happened with that

>>725675109
wait, i was just scanning through the top sellers chart and Dead by Daylight is verified Steam Deck compatible, but also has kernel level anti-cheat?

OG steam machines were an entirely different beast. And I think most importantly the popularity of the steam decks have pushed Valve to be a recognizable name in gaming hardware which will certainly give it a boost with its most important market, dumbass normies who don't want to build a PC

>>725675832
there's a pretty obvious path, then. like, if i'm valve, i just walk up to activision and say "hey, if you enable linux support, we'll knock half a percent off the commission we take on this game", activision counters with some other number, and then both parties crunch the numbers until it makes sense

>>725675678
For all they're concerned, its a console that just opens, you install the game and you play the game. They dont care what it runs on or what else you can do with it. It wouldnt be any different than any other console for them

The Steam Frame will be $650 minimum, more likely $800-$1000. Anyone that believes otherwise is completely fucking retarded. Since it's just running real Linux without Facebook spyware bloat I would sell my Quest 3 and buy one of these for anything under $1k in a heartbeat.

>>725676516
I got a quest 3 for 400 canadian, if this is more than that it'll never penetrate anything but the sweatlord porn addict market.

I think you're right about market penetration but hope you're wrong. Either way you're a clown for thinking that you'd get a piece of hardware you actually own for cheaper than your advertising box.

>>725676351
Its very different from other consoles
For one its literally just a PC in a compact box

the Quest 3 specifically is an advertising platform, the post you're responding to is the QRD since it points out that 98% of Meta's revenue comes from advertising

is there any reasonable way to do this? i'd love if i could remote install games to my deck when they release while i'm at work. right now i just end up installing them to my pc, so my deck can pull the files from it when i get home, which is better than nothing but damn

>>725676841
Yeah theres like 50 thousand of them

>>725677286
put your deck on a Dock and don't let it go to sleep?

>>725677217
Ok, but if all I'm using it as is a remote control screen for my PC, that's their direct competition. They need to be the same price minimum.

I'll probably get the controller. No interest in the box. Slightly interested in the VR headset but I know it's going to be lol priced.

>>725675942
>>725652091 (OP)

>>725677358

no retard keep your advertising box glued to your face, just ignore the obvious hardware advantages on the Steam Frame and keep shitposting on 4chan instead of thinking critically about anything ever

>>725672168
unlike a jeet like you I have never touched a linux desktop in 14 years because I exclusively use linux for servers.

>>725677354
the dock just has never seemed worth buying to me. i don't really play on my tv, and you can't use an eGPU to actually improve performance, so outside of this it would basically just be an expensive charger

Half Life 3 will launch the same day as the box and the VR headset. Will probably come free with either one.

>>725677887
Is this the future of leaks? Because that is not a bad idea, I guess.

>>725675109
it is not fixed in the sense that those games actively avoid linux because this would make it even easier for cheater.

>>725678224
if your entire interaction with your Quest 3 is
>boot up
>go to app menu
>open Steam Link
>live in Steam
then you're not seeing many advertisements. You're just getting tracked by Meta so that they can try to serve you third-party cookie/identifier ads whenever you're browsing the web on your other devices that they can identify as you. That is NOT what most Quest 3 users do and they're constantly getting advertised via the Meta Horizon app and within all of the Meta Quest menus/system interfaces

if you press and hold the power button there might be a "turn off screen" option which you could use after disabling all sleep functions, if that doesn't work there's 2 dozen different ways to shut off the display via the terminal but then I'd have to babysit you through how to use that
my other suggestion would be disabling all sleep, plugging it in, and turning brightness all the way down which should be close enough

consoles are shit because of the closed system and proprietary bullshit (you must insert a playstation game into your playstation, and you must use a playstation controller), plus all the extra fees for online multiplayer
this has none of that and in fact encourages the exact opposite

If this thing is sub 500$ it will unironically kill all PC and Console says for the foreseeable future. If valve does this right they will be throat fucking the competition.

>>725682109

>Selling it cheap isn't necessarily a good idea either because what if people decide to buy it because it's so cheap and then just install Windows 11 on it and ignore buying Steam games?
I think you got this line of thinking wrong, almost nobody in the world who is going to buy a Steam Machine is going to go out of their way to never buy a game off of, like it or not, the current biggest PC game market. It's just not going to happen.
And because of that, they are going to sell it cheap. Valve probably saw the writing on the wall with Microsoft and Gamepass and know that they're going to try to get into the PC gaming industry more directly. Valve has always obviously hated having to directly rely on Windows for Steam to be as big a success as it currently is. All this Steam Hardware stuff is just trying to beat Microsoft to the punch, and I can see them selling it cheap and at a loss if it means getting a new audience into the Steam ecosystem. Same thing with the Frame, they want to be divorced from Meta so they don't have to worry about getting cut off from PCVR. This is also the reason why they made sure Frame can play flatscreen games, now some guy who brought a Frame instead of a Quest to try out VR is going to have access to a full Steam library like he had a gaming PC this entire time

Can we upgrade this thing?

>>725655793
