So no.

WHERE HALOF LIFE 3 I WANT BOUGHTED!

I don't care about VR until I can feel the anime girl sucking my dick and I can touch her boobs

>>725654998 (OP)
MAYHAPS

>>725654998 (OP)
Don't even need to touch that controller to know it's shit.

I would literally do ANYTHING for Gaben

You can already do that, just not all from the same company

>>725655160
VR is amazing for anything FPP, get fucked

>>725654998 (OP)
I have been waiting for this controller forever so I'll buy it unless it gets really negative reviews. The box is interesting, if the speccs are a good deal then maybe.
VR has to get smaller before I invest in that, I have a quest 2 that I never use so it's whatever.

>>725655232
/v/ falls for it again

>>725655785
The Steam Machine™ is probably just the Steam Deck™ without a screen.

>>725655878

I will buy Steam Frame for sure. Maybe the controller

>>725654998 (OP)
I'll assume that the bad grammar is intentional. I know that ''boughted'' is a meme at times, not something serious or a real example of unintentional bad English.

Get it?
Because it's a frame for your eyes?
Can't wait to smear that screen with my dorito fingers.

>>725655841
WHEEEERREEE HAAALF LIIIFEEEE 3??!!!!!???!!!

>>725654998 (OP)
controller maybe but i doubt it will be under $100

I will boughted all the steam machine lids

Not that I would buy it ever but specs are shit

>>725654998 (OP)
Maybe. I have an old Steam account and do not have a PC (live in a small flat with high rent so I don’t have a spare 2k for a PC and even if I did I certainly don’t have the space in this shoebox) so if the price is alright and it can run everything I might as well.

Can you play games offiline on Steam Machine?

>>725656791
What is a compute unit

>>725656883
Units that compute

I'm interested in another VR headset because I returned my Q3 but it's probably going to cost way too much. If they can hit $500-$550 I'll get one but I expect it will cost like $800+.

>>725656791
wtf is this? this says absolutely nothing

Steam Ball when?
>insanely powerful console that constantly roll under your couch or down the stairs

>>725654998 (OP)
I might buy the new headset. Because I'm not poor.

Cool it with the anti-Gabetic remarks.

>>725654998 (OP)
>frame can run games on itself without a PC streaming to it
Literally tailor made for gooner games. Now I can coom from my bed.

>8gb vram
lmao

Controller for sure
Maybe the machine if I need a set-top emulation box or something, it's the "Steam Deck Mini" or "Desktop Steam Deck" some tards were begging for

>>725655160
Fuck off retard, I like VR for my flight sims.
Depending on how lightweight the headset is I might actually buy one, and I kvech even paying my bills so thats rare for me.

>>725654998 (OP)
I buy the steam frame if it comes with HL3

>>725656736
Can´t you do it on a deck?

>>725656038
Xbox huge is back. Duke was always the best controller.

>>725657009
What about line segments!

>>725656736
Yeah, it's a PC.

>>725654998 (OP)
Maybe VR, but depends on the price, if more than $500 fuck dat shit and quest3 is better

Buying the controller when able.

>Steam frame comes with an USB dongle so you don't have to use a cable or a router for it
Gaben does it again

>>725656038
This controller will be unusable for anyone with smaller than average hands. What a weird decision. Why are all these companies doing this to controllers? DualShock 4 was the last one that felt comfortable for smaller hands. I don’t want to be relegated to chinkshit knockoffs of the ds4. What the fuck man

>>725656934
What is a compute

I will buy it and immediately install Windows 11 on it to piss off 4chin

>>725657658

And into the trash it goes.

>>725657815
Locked

>>725654998 (OP)
I might get a steam frame if it's reasonably priced. I have no use case for the rest of this.

i will buyed boughted in a heartbeat if its affordable and the pc can play better games than my current 3050 set up

>>725657848
I’m sure it’s funny to laugh at people you deem less than you due to their physical features but it still feels like shit being screwed over by these companies who bc other not everyone is a scandinavian aryan

There is no good VR games

What's the point?

>>725654998 (OP)
'ick on 'ube

>>725654998 (OP)
The controller looks like an ergonomic nightmare.

>>725654998 (OP)
the steam cube has me interested just depends on the price

I love masonic images. Volvo did it again - HL33 confirmed

Bundle 6 decks together and you have a Steam Machine

>>725654998 (OP)
High chance i am boughting the controller and vr headset

>>725654998 (OP)
I'll buy the Steam Frame if it's less than a grand.
Sad there's no face tracking. At least there's eye tracking, TMR sticks because fuck drifting it's probably more common in VR controllers than anything else, and a fucking DPAD

I'll wait until the full VR experience and then I'll get trapped like in isekai shit.

Valve should've announced Half-Life 3 with the fucking thing

Compelling. Now get to work on the Deck 2.

>Steam Machine
I'm getting my Gabecube.

>no cable
>fairly light
Alright, not bad. I couldn't stand my PSVR2, it was so heavy and uncomfortable, and the sweetspot was tiny. I hated the heavy ass cable too.

>frame weaker than deck
>driving two 2160x2160 panels

>>725659543
is it better than the index pls respond

>>725659543
>frame weaker than deck
Were you expecting a gaming pc strapped to your head? The 6ghz dongle makes it trivial anyway

>>725659459
Just get a PC and stream it to your deck what is wrong with you retards

I miss when they only used to show normal white guys in video game adverts.

the gabecube honestly looks like something I'd actually bring around to places since moving a PC sucks.

>>725655729
>>725657260
Did they fix the "spacesuit effect" yet? That's what made me stop using VR years ago. I'm talking about the low FOV. If this hasn't been fixed, why? What the actual fuck are they doing?

>>725659716
I'm not fucking streaming anything while traveling monkey boy. You think I'm so unfathomably lazy that I can't be bothered to sit on my PC or my TV couch if I want to play games at home?

>>725659807
presumably you're talking about fresnel lenses, which the Index had. the Frame has pancake lenses which have a bigger "sweet spot", though how much is enough will vary from person to person.

>controller
The only reason I use a PS5 controller on PC is for the touchpad. Having that, plus an extra one and the grip buttons is tempting
>machine
no
>vr
Depends on the FOV, I have a quest 2 and it was so off putting it felt like wearing scuba goggles and I barely used it. The frame looks like it's trying to ape that so hopefully they don't make the same compromise.

>>725654998 (OP)
>Controller
100% happening, it really looks like it'll be the final word in PC controllers or at least the blueprint for it
>Gabecube

honestly I'd love to see them take a crack at a mechanical/magnetic gaming keyboard down the line, if nothing more than just to have a board made in their industrial design

>110 FOV
>same as the psvr2
Dropped. I'll buy a VR headset when they make one that doesn't look and feel like I'm wearing a scuba mask.

>>725659807
Genuinly this has not been an issue since I swapped to the pancake lenses.
Im very doomer that the deckard is shit compared to what I already got, but I can confirm this effect is fixed on newer headsets or like, the quest pro like I have

>>725660347
There's no way that 110 fov doesn't look like you're viewing everything through a scuba mask. It's the same as the PSVR2 which I hated.

>>725660561
tourist

>>725654998 (OP)
Controller definitely. I just love trying out different gamepads.
No need for the Gabecube when I just have really long HDMI cables going throughout my apartment.
I don't care for VR but I'm intrigued that Valve is continuing to invest in it when I've figured everyone hung their hat on that by now.

>>725660623
>autist can't fathom improvements

are there any prices? can't see it

>>725660347
yeah, i think people confuse FOV with the "sweet spot". it's not that the FOV is bad on fresnel lenses per se, but that you have to move your whole head just to be able to see clearly something that's not immediately in the center of your view.

>>725657686
>does not compute

>>725660561
>do it fit in now?
No.

man I really gotta buy a new PC but I only play old stuff like starcraft 1 so it is hard to justify.. But my current rig lags and stutters so bad at 240 htz for starcraft.. I already have money set aside, I'm just lazy when it comes to picking components and building stuff. Hopefully black friday will bring good stuff to microcenter

>>725660787
Nothing announced yet
They just said they'll be competitive

>>725654998 (OP)
Of course I will!!! I slurp and guzzle cum out of the hose for anything Valve related and I know Lord Gaben will one day acknowledge my bestest goyim behavior with a copy of Half-Life 3, trust the plan!!!

>>725660787
they are targeting sub-1k

I just wanted a new directly connected to gpu VR headset, not mobile phone battery powered shit. I only use it for sim racing

>>725654998 (OP)
Controller, yes. Others, probably not.

>>725654998 (OP)
Unironically miring that controller.

Additionally, in a vacuum I actually just want a Deck 2 oled from Valve, so I was a bit disappointed.

>>725654998 (OP)
if it can run hl3 ill buy.

>>725661094
I'm torn between if I think a laptop or a deck is better for long flights. With a laptop you get a bigger screen and you can hold a traditional controller

3D porn mainly.

wont play games as well as a PS5

>games

>>725660857
Based ribi rabi enjoyer. I got Tevi last week and its pretty good so far.

>>725660769
If it was higher than 110 FOV they'd advertise it. You can't make 110 fov look like 160 fov, because then it would simply be 160 fov.

>>725661405
does anyone even know how a PS5 performs in these so called "games"?

Oh boy. Times to mod Skyrim and minecraft again. Seriously, VR is boring without software to match.

I've been waiting for years for a VR headset with it all. This looks like the one

>>725661208
2bh I'm probably just being overly hesitant because of the rabble about AAA performance and my own waitfag nature. I already don't play that many big modern games on my desktop.

Report in 3d coomers.
Thoughts on valve's newest overpriced VR frames heh

>>725661869
Gaben onahole and dildo when? I need full body tracking

>>725656791
i have no idea what any of those things mean.

>>725654998 (OP)
I'm very tempted to purchase the Steamdeck, but it can't run Destiny 2 yet.
Steam machine I'm interested in, sometimes I get tired of sitting at my desk and want to game late at night in bed.
VR I'm also interested, doesn't look as bulky as its predecessor.
Controller looks good, I already have two Xbox ones with back paddles, so if they break I'll pick up a steam one.

overall, I think I'm looking forward to jumping into steam hardware, just really hope more of the games I play come to Steamdeck.
I currently have a 5090/9950x3D PC.

>>725654998 (OP)
I refuse to have anything that has a camera or a microphone inside my house

>>725654998 (OP)
I would gladly move to Gabe Cube instead of updating to Windows 11.
The controller is everything I love about Deck, but without screen. I already have a Deck though.
Not interested in VR.

>>725654998 (OP)
Have never dipped into VR and the index has been sitting in my wishlist for years, so the Frame is probably the biggest maybe for me.

I've got one and I love it. I made it from spare parts over time though. It's a shame that even that is better than the Steam Machine 2

Why don't they call it the nigger machine?

>>725664564
It will never stop so long as gaming has a casual audience. If the PC market/Valve can get a foothold into the casual/console market, they will take Xbox's former place and potentially take revenue away from Sony. If you can get autistic elitist PC gamer whales and casual console plebs buying into the same company/ecosystem, you will dominate the market.

>>725654998 (OP)
I was cosidering getting a gaming laptop until today, depending on the price I might reconsider and get a steam machine instead

>>725665721

>>725664335
Hasn't deadlock been a thing for like a year?

>>725659060
2027 or 2028, real question is what are the specs for the Steam Deck 2 when it comes?

>>725654998 (OP)
I might actually get the VR goggles, maybe the controller.

>>725665932
those neetbux just don't spend like they used to, do they?

>>725666024
No, it's still in beta/early access and invite only
It's just that everyone can get you an invite

>>725665721
if you want cheap VR you can get a quest 2 for under $200 and then pirate the games for it or just grab a long USB cable

>>725655290
>touch
*suck, her boobs you mean
And this is notoriously difficult because close-quarters objects cause fuckery to the cameras

>>725666018
There are sole games I'd like to play with VR but there ain't no way I'm paying 1k. RE8 and RE4 I'd play on VR.

>>725666038

>he didn't cash in on cs2

>>725655232
dont care about hl3, i want tf3 and l4d3

I hope this can be used as a modern alternative to the Nvidia Shield Pro for media streaming. Still need a no compromises solution with full support for all codecs.

>>725666379
What could possibly cause interference in the real world with the cameras?
If you have a touchable and fuckable reference in the real world why do you need vr?

>shit volvo already did in the past that totally bombed
Oh boy can't wait to get bombarded with spam by valve drones about how this is the best thing ever and then 2 years later it sold less than the fucking vita, wiiu, ngage and ouya.

>>725654998 (OP)
Frame is the biggest news, especially foveated streaming could be divorced from frame hardware cause it would open up a lot of opportunities for 3rd party hardware. Fex is pretty cool too, having proper emulation layer for linux arm to x86 is important. Year of VR is coming babe not really, but a Valve are solving a lot of engineering for VR industry as a whole
Steam Machine 2.0 is kinda nothingburger but it proves Valves commitment to linux ecosystem so overall something positive.
Controller is whatever, but neat, i guess.

>>725666658
Kodi is a fucking bitch that shits itself whenever my PC restarts but just adding the server as a source again fixes it
AV1, x265 and sub support more than makes up for it.

>>725666750
they laid a foundation for it this time

>>725666401
I can't remember who said this, John Carmack maybe, that true VR games won't look like console or PC games but with head tracking and motion. They'll have to be made from the ground up for VR much like a Wii game, and I think Beat Saber was thrown out as an example. I'm still waiting for those but good, dense vidya experiences.

>>725666676

Half Life Alyx

>>725666975
i have encountered exactly two things that felt like they captured why you'd make something for vr, and they are beat saber and google earth. it must be a hard as fuck spirit to capture, because literally nobody else has managed it

>>725666401
the reality is that asides from Alyx and a couple of other titles there are no real VR games, just glorified tech demos. the best use of VR is playing older games with VR mods because those are actually fully fleshed out gaming experiences and not just waggle gimmicks stretched out to 3-6 hours.

>>725667054
Yeah but it doesn't have a screen or a battery.

There's judder when you move your head and it's a fundamental limitation of the device because Meta doesn't give a shit about PCVR streaming, and even a $1000 router won't solve it.

I will probably buy the Machine. No need for a controller.

I was literally working on replacing all of my monitors with my vr headset and was looking for an upgrade to my quest 2. The steam frame was the answer to a prayer I didn't even pray

>>725654998 (OP)
lets say i buy the frame and the cube. do they work off each other to achieve fidelity? am i gonna have to help make something like that for it to exist? all i can think of is massive hot loads of ai generated furry spunk in a vr chat room, WHILE im moving in a 3d space, erm yeah im gonna overheat like a mofo right.

I will buy the Steam Machine thingy if it's less than $700, PC hardware market is fucked and I'm not paying 800 bucks for some entry level shit.

Linux/Steam OS is a pain in the ass for modding games

Want to use some mod manager or anything that uses Windows exec to configure? Need to add the program as Steam shortcut to get Proton running. And then you need figure out the locations of virtual folder structures.

Want to use anything that uses custom dlls? You need to put a specific command to add to launch arguments.

>>725654998 (OP)
This might be the first time in my life when I'll consider buying the whole kit of (((products))). I'm vastly done with microsoft's bullshit, and all of big tech for that matter. This could be the breath of fresh air I've been looking for.

>>725667638
that can't be good for your eyes

>>725667557
It's Linux but worked on by paid professionals at Valve. The PS5 runs custom FreeBSD and it works doesn't it

>>725667595
Another thing I forgot to mention is a dedicated steam box is offering an ecosystem through the UI and storefront, which might be more tantalizing to the console users than just a computer.

>>725667646
There's a dongle for perfect latency once they're paired, the rest is up to the Machine™'s power to handle furry cum

>>725667747
yeah, but it's a pretty small minority who are gonna get tripped up over this

>>725667747
Yeah Linux modding is trash. Xbox mode for steam deck seems ideal if it can work.

>>725667692
I don't think RE4 would make me shit as scared as RE8 would. I haven't played because VR costs too much, once it's like 300 maybe I'll buy it.

>>725656038
>roughly equivalent to an RTX 4060
My math is telling me it's essentially a 2060 Super. That's a pretty fucking steal if the true and the price is right.

>>725667693
Yeah and let's discuss why people even buy consoles, it makes no sense!

>>725654998 (OP)
>can play my steam library + mods + emulation + pirated games in my living room with no hassle
yeah, this is kinda all I've ever wanted

>>725667820
you can easily open big picture mode on a computer

>>725667802
your eyes interpret it like it's real, it's honestly probably better for them than regular computer monitors

>>725667692
I played the RE4 VR port and I don't care about capeshit

>>725661965
More powerful than a base PS5/Series X

Enjoy charging up your headset every 3 hours

>>725662710
Linux alone will use 1GB less at any given time

>>725667638
2160x2160 is insufficient for text work, really. Don't do it if you plan to fill your taxes in your vr headset.

>>725668026
brother man, if it's replacing my pc monitors and i'm using it while sitting at my desk, why would i not just leave it plugged in

>>725666658
>>725666882
I'am hosting a jellyfin server on my synology and just want to stream all movies without problems.

>>725667115
Anyone who would buy a console. Are you retarded?

>>725668138
Why, yes, I fill my taxes in vr headset

>>725667934
Yes they could, but they're the kind to feel dramatically exhausted by clicking an executable. I think having basically a console UX from the moment they press the power button is appealing for many of them.

>>725667176
>old /v/
You mean when consolefags, zoomers and browns weren't a thing and Valve as unanimously praised?

>Headset has no DP Out
>Requires eye tracking for it's streaming technique
Actually really bad ideas what was valve thinking.
And also it'll have a 800+ Price point in this economy.
I know Valve doesn't care about sales but this kinda just proves VR is dead.

>>725668171
Probably not good for the battery, but I can always buy an battery expansion

>>725668213
last year i had to do it on my deck, it's so exciting to live in the future

>>725668171
Enjoy your fucked up battery
Attached to your face

>>725667934
After they deal with everything before. Consolefags don't buy PCs for a reason, they want something that's 100% plug and play.

>>725668026
I can't handle more than 2 hours of VR anyway. Why would I want more battery.

>>725656364
Heh... why would you develop your own games when you automatically get a 30 percent cut of every game sold on PC.

>>725668319
>>725668339
i thought we as a society moved past this battery issue, do you really not just leave things plugged in?

>>725668303
The dongle removes all connectivity issues, Anon.

>>725668138
I've been using immersed desktop with my quest 2 and have been able to program and do video editing in it with no issues. I'm sure eye tracking and better resolution will help it look better.

>uses linux
can you play games through shell alone?

>>725668212
so why would you buy this instead of a console?

The OG Steam Controller had the sexiest battery ejection levers, I'll miss them.
But thank god it has a lithium integrated now

>>725668445
I don't care, I don't like Wireless solutions. I want my shit wired, It's way less hassle and will ALWAYS have less latency.
I don't want to pay 800+ dollars for 2160x2160 screens when I can just get a Big Screen with a mounting set up on my ceiling since I'm a grown big boy who wipes his own ass and can bracket a wall.

>>725668570
discrete parts are easy to upgrade, so it doesn't have a defined shelf life like most consoles

>>725668570
Because I have access to my steam library and any emulator I could possibly want

>>725668570
It is a console, but you are allowed to use the hardware to run a desktop OS. Maybe because you can play PC, Xbox and PS5 games and retro stuff on it? Seems like a big deal.

>>725668658
you can't upgrade this

>>725668647
It's not, but it being mandatory is inherently a flaw.

>>725667805
>Arch
>on ARM
Eh...

>>725668658
Only the SSD is upgradeable

>>725654998 (OP)
Probably not. No use for a Steamcube, the controller looks clunky and I have a Quest 3 already. Depending on reviews and the price of the Steam Frame I'll consider it.

>>725668642
Yes.

The age of Tux is nigh, and the tyranny of mircrojeet is over. With the aid of GABE with the sword of gnu+linux he will slay the beast that is AAA gaming.

>>725668460
youre not playing anything without xorg/wayland running.

>>725668736
it's a pc with wholly discrete parts inside a modular box from a company that released the blueprints to their handheld console so that anyone could mod or upgrade it
you can upgrade this

>>725668638
>I'm a grown big boy who wipes his own ass and can bracket a wall.
Big boys don't need leashes.
But yeah it is a sidegrade to the quest 3 with eye tracking, not really worth it unless you are just getting into VR.
Setting a dedicated router was already really easy and virtual desktop works perfectly so the dongle doesn't really improve anything as it is still a compressed wifi image, only the eye tracking and foveated encoding are upgrades.

>>725668842
Call me when you can draw a circle in Affinity

Did you use xbawx huge fontsizes for programming?

>>725668893
but it's all soldered on

>>725667187
It's not retarded, its business. You seriously underestimate the size of the gaming market that doesn't touch PC gaming/steam because they "don't know how/don't want to build a PC". The view may seem different from your mother's basement, but the reality is this has been something multiple companies, including Valve, have been trying to do for decades and they won't stop trying until something hits.

>>725669010
and we all know that solder is permanent

>>725669010
So solder it out

The Steam Machine is targeted specifically at retarded console niggers

>>725654998 (OP)
controller for sure it'll pair nicely with my docked steamdeck, and it will allow me to play mouse and keyboard games w/ a controller.

Is the soiboy an Arch feature?

In the trailer they kind of announced that the Steam Deck 2 is in the works.

>>725669885
naturally

>>725669775
most people do not want to set aside a large amount of empty space right next to their pc, and would prefer to be able to play vr wherever they naturally have room for it

Xbox literally runs a locked down version of Windows 10, PS5 is just an interface on top of a FreeBSD kernel.

It's just a machine for people who just want a console experience aka plug and play.

Holy shit Gabe

It was back when Linux support was absolute ass.

Now with Steam Deck people know that Linux gaming is actually good now, except for specific anti-cheats

gabecube face idea

>>725670191
yeah, they did the steam machine, it failed, and then they spent a bunch of years building from that data. they made a custom gaming os, dumped money into developing proton so that nearly everything would work on it, and figured out how to develop hardware themselves rather than relying on flaky partners. it's still gonna be a minor player among vidya shit, but i respect the effort and hope it isn't a complete flop

>>725670404
If it's less than 1k you can go to new york and steal it and get away with it, just don't get caught

>>725670481
This thing means their dropping support for the Deck then doesn't it.....

>>725670214
And Xbox runs Windows 10. The PS3 also ran Linux in 3 button presses. Are they not consoles? Or is being a walled garden where you can't use your hardware for anything other than what your masters allow a requirement for a console?

>>725670571
they're completely different form factors

>it really is 350
Dude stream is about to be flooded with shitskins

The deck is getting an upgrade, after the Machines drop. The 'eck was the flagship SteamOS hardware

Thats a stretch. Serviceable - absolutely, but i can't say that linux gaming is in "good" state at the moment.

Also Steam Deck just recently got an update to finally download games while asleep, which is also the thing for Steam Machine

Poorfags win once again. Ok Praise Gaben.

>>725670305
I doubt they sell at a loss, more likely that they are selling at how much it costs them to produce. They are also selling directly to you so there is nobody in the middle taking a cut

>>725670305
>>725670148

What awful advertising. Your actors should either be attractive (to make customers think "wow, if I buy product I can be cool like that!") or relatable (to make customers think "wow, that guy who is just like me bought product and is having fun, if I buy product I will have fun too). These dysgenic fucks are not attractive, not relatable to normal people, and they don't even look like they're having fun, the tranny on the left couldn't even be assed to fake a smile.

>>725670132
so it's a pc but they removed all the features except gaming
and you can't upgrade it
wow

>>725670586
if you can't identify the difference between the xbox version of windows 10 and steamOS you're just being willfully obstinate

Im curious about the controller because theres lots of kbm strategy games i want to just play on my couch, im sick of sitting at my desk to play stuff. I dont care about the cube unless its impossibly cheap, i will never care about VR for ajy reason.

>>725670770
>There's no way they sell them at a loss
what do you think the deck was

Ok.. And like.. What if you get perma banned on Steam? So like... Expensive paperweight ??

>>725670770
i think they sell the steam decks at a loss but yeah i wouldn't expect them to with this stuff

are they retarded? they already had vr headset, nobody asked for another one and vr died a few years ago anyway

>>725670305
it makes sense to sell it at a competitive price if they want to replace Xbox's position in the market. The real profits are made on Steam anyways so getting people into it is the better plan.

If they're doing this like the Deck where it's gonna be mostly a niche thing, then I can see it being more expensive than the consoles.

I can't wait to recompile Arch anytime anything breaks and do nothing else.

>>725670770
>There's no way they sell them at a loss, there's no reason to
The reason is to get people who otherwise would not be buying games from steam to do so and make more from that 30% cut than the loss.

>>725670639
>>725670663
Valve have already shown more interest in the Legion Go than the deck. The OS for the deck has been fucked for months with stuff like record not working anymore, wifi dropping, discover not downloading, fan randomly stopping, restarting randomly during gaming, fan going bat shit crazy etc

None of that happened till the 3.7.8 update when they began forcing the os to work on the RetardGo rather than focusing on the Deck.

With steam machines 2.0 remake GabeCube edition they'll just drop support entirely

>>725670571
Trailer brings up the future of the Steam Deck but leaves it at that, they're upgrading it either next year or in 2027. Valve is setting itself up for next generation before Sony and Microsoft. I'm expecting Nintendo to probably upgrade the Switch 2's node by 2027 to something like 4nm.

>>725670770
>there's no reason to
What if they want to? They could give away 160 million of them and it not even scratch them. Even if they were free they’d make that money back on steam purchases.

>>725670934
Wrong again

>>725670942
this is a strange hallucination

>>725670852
It's literally Windows 10 but locked down. You can even run UWP programs on it. If Valve locked down their distro, would that make it more of a console? Would removing the button desktop button be enough? It's a console mate, accept it.

>>725670770
The whole point is to get people buying games from Steam so it wouldn't be surprising if they are selling them at cost and taking the research costs as losses that they recoup from game sales

>>725670305
they already make a trillion dollars every second on Steam, there's no reason for them to charge extra on this. It'll sell at a loss and be as expensive as a PS5 Pro. Screencap this

>>725670895
This gets rid of the need for a monitor and is wireless

>>725670706
Is this for poor people in india and Pakistan?? Why would you need it on all night to download a game unless your internet was a 32k modem.

Welcome to Arch on ARM.

>>725670571
Deck support is basically steamos support anyway.
Hardwarewise theres no point in making new version of deck cause newer generations of RDNA don't bring radical perf increases without drastically increasing power draw. Maybe we will get Deck 2 after RDNA5 release, but somehow doubt.

I'll buy the Frame if it's $250 or less (it won't be)

>>725670770
>There's no way they sell them at a loss, there's no reason to
the real money is made with the 30% cut they get for every sale on Steam. The more people they get on Steam, the more they get. They have EVERY reason to sell this at a loss. Especially if Gabe wants to replace Xbox and be the future third option in consoles.

all they needed to do was split the og steam controller in half and fix the shitty shoulder buttons and back buttons. refine the touchpads and improve ergonomics. the vr controllers are wasting so much room and leaving precision on the trailer by going with joysticks.

>>725671102
Go on the steam deck forums and look for yourself then. Valve pushing out announcements how they've improved deck performance for Legion go but then ignore all the issues everyone is reporting on for the deck. None of which happened till 378 update was released

I already own a VR headset: an Oculus Rift.
I've had fun with many demos and concepts, but really there are maybe 10 games total that I like on it, and most have no replayablity.
In the end, it was a Beat Saber machine for me, and I haven't used it in years.

I don't see a reason to buy a new headset. The software is lacking, not the hardware. And Valve haven't announced any new software.

>>725671792
it's probably the same as the US where it's large enough that the answer depends on where you live. mostly we're judging based on median access, i guess? and i don't know anyone in the continental us now who doesn't have access to 1gb fiber

No because HL3 is not going to be a VR game.
VR compatible, maybe. But no. I think Valve will try to sell Steam Machines with HL3.

>>725672058
It was intended tho, even heavily advertised. The support was just removed because the hardware was too good for the price and Sony was losing money since they were selling it on a loss.

>>725655506

>>725672217
this. It'll release with HL3 (big action single player game) and L4D3 (big multiplayer game).

>>725672216
statecraft has failed, the only solution is earthquakes

Steam Frame can't be sold at a loss because that would kill all competition, Zuckerburg won't make a Quest 4 if it can't reasonably compete with the Frame. Without those 2 headsets no sane developer will make VR games (see: AmogusVR) so Frame would fail
>You can play 2D games in the Frame tho
Yeah but no one's going to buy a frame to play the 2D ones, and if no one's making VR games outside of valve then no one will buy a frame.

>>725672429
>and L4D3
yeah Valve hasn't worked on L4D3 in years. It got cancelled ironically during the steam machine 2s early development.

You know what this mean don't you, SteamOS is getting shipped to Desktops, Microsoft and their Xbox is so fucked, lol.

>>725672482
>Theres an app for that
Problem solved

>>725672350
Ah, so uncomputing is a thing now. Give up bro

>>725672626
Xbox’s series x will be given the option to run steam os

>>725672686
what?

>>725672626
Can't wait for Windows 12 to force even more garbage down people's throat and multiply the Linux marketshare by 10, again.

FSR4 (Lite) on RDNA3 when?

>>725671971
Their biggest announcement is that FEX is factually going in public beta for bleeding edge consoomers. Valve is pushing us into ARMxLinux era of general computing, cause thermodynamics is a bitch.

you get a literal black box plus multiple Valve games

No
I have zero interest in VR
The controller is visibly shit, terrible ergonomics if you want to use the touchpads
The console is completely pointless

>>725672907

>>725662419
So about half as good as my rig that I've spent about 1.8k on. I would be shocked if this thing is priced lower than $800 with the controller.

Stop tricking retards into buying shitty tech. Don't buy into the VR garbage, it has been decades since CV1 and there is still nothing worth installing on it even for PCVR

>>725663708
I sure hope the frame can be bought without controllers. Might have to sell my Index controllers along with my Vive.

>>725672907
>W-Well with gamepass everyone can play their games, and we have PC games too!

>>725673087
Windows sucks.

>foveated streaming is happening entirely on the software side
Wait doesn't that mean that all eye tracked headsets can get foveated streaming just by using SteamVR? Or are they joining the walled garden club and cockblocking software based on your hardware

>>725654998 (OP)
Controller yes, definitely. The original Steam Controller is my favorite PC controller.
VR headset maybe, I think it looks good but there's not much to play in VR, price point will matter a lot on this one.
Cube PC nah, I already have far better PCs so I don't really have any use for this one.

>>725654998 (OP)
I will not buy the vr but if the gabecube is $500 or less, I will consider it

I'd imagine it's an universal thing from SteamVR, the last thing valve wants is to lose compatibility, even if it is for PSVR2

>>725654998 (OP)
If gaben released an exclusive FIFA only for steamcube he would capture the normie xbox audience i swear to god

Also I just want the VR headset and HL3... or maybe some other secret valve game they are making.

they are computers, just not PCs
you know, just like Macs

If the price is right, I might grab just the box to replace my nvidia shield as a media center plus being an emulation box.

>>725672482
There's no competition now because Meta's games are all exclusives? PCVR is shit.

>16 GB
>Weaker than a ps5 base model

Who is this for?

Are they okay? Are they safe?

>>725672429
I could imagine 1 VR player asymetrically spawns the zombies acting like AI director, maybe he generates resources over time and deploys zombies like blockers, and has cooldowns for spawning special infected. Meanwhile 4 pc players co-op and go through normally

>>725673379
>normie xbox audience
That hasn't existed since the 360.

>Valve makes more revolutionary controller than anything from Microsoft (unless we count Xinput on PC) and Sony since DualShock 1

Embarrassing

>>725673645
>Gabecube sits on it to death.

>>725673340
there's literally no difference between a modern console and a steam machine other than the OS they run

>>725672482
I dont care if zuck stops making them

>Controller
Probably not, been using a Dualsense on PC and it's worked for me just fine.

>Machine
It's basically a prebuilt, already got a PC, so no.

>The VR
Maybe? I don't even know. I liked PSVR from what little I tried, so maybe trying PC VR would be nice. Wireless is nice if it actually works well though.

>>725673740
giwtwm

>>725673671
that's exactly what the Zombie Master mod is

>>725673702
I dont believe you.

Also the VR image rendering where your eye focus area is rendered at ultra high res and the edges are a lower bitrate is going to be a huge performance boost

If the machine is about the same price of a high-spec deck, the steam machine is a poorfags wet dream.

>>725673784
The devs will
And the people that buy from the devs will
And the people that make hardware for those games will
And valve is one of them

>>725673340
Let me rephrase. Modern "consoles" are PCs with locked down operating systems. XBox is just running windows for instance

>>725673724
What's revolutionary about it? The touchpad? At least Dualsense had the retarded trigger thing and actuators instead of rumble motors.

>>725670835

day 1 preorder

I genuinely don't understand the thinking behind releasing this hardware. It makes no sense at all unless they manage to sell it at sub $400. But even then it's still shit hardware. It's completely handicapped by RDNA 3 and 8 gigs of graphics memory. Good luck running UE5 games even by the end of next year on this thing. They'll either have mandatory ray tracing which RDNA 3 sucks at, will require upscaling which RDNA 3 sucks at and will be memory hogs which 8 gigs isn't enough for and wasn't enough even a year ago.

>>725670369

>unupgradable
You can upgrade the SSD

>>725666485
How about h3?

One thing I never got to experience w the hp reverb which now is defunct and has no support is the finger tracking in VR. So i think it would be cool to play alyx again and some other stuff in VR with it

If HL3 comes out I will put Gordons face on my gabecube and put Gordons face on my controller and put Gordons face on my face.

>>725671824
That's literally the tech Dualshock 3 used (before they cheaped out and went back to potentiometers)

>>725673949
I dont care about any of them either

>>725673981
Grip buttons/paddles as standard.
Natural detection to use gyro or not.
What I assume to be keyboard button
Touchpads that either can be used to simulate mouse more accurately than analogs, don't have to be used at all or you can just customize to your own liking.
Charging pod that looks like it's actually comfortable to use.

Everything actually seems practical, while I think those DualSense triggers are gimmicks. I do own DualSense, but I don't think it's transformative in any way. It's just DS4 with triggers gimmick

>>725667626
Is there? I never notice

>>725673902
Xbox was the normalfag console on the 360 days after that it's no longer been the case.

>>725671478
They literally are. See AMD 4800S and AMD BC250, literally Xbox Series X and PS5 respectively put in a board and turned into official AMD mining PCs.

>>725657382
u know its gonna be 2k at least

I use Plex on my PC. I set it to play shit locally, so I just use (and my gf) Plex as a nice frontend and to keep track with ez subtitle support.

On the Quest 3S it's super sensitive so it looks like Alyx has boneitis

>>725674724
Then what do they play fifa on

>>725673631
Valve don't really invest in hardware. They invest in engineering for market to sustain and develop itself.
They want vr headsets to be a market, they invest in their VR to solve engineering issues current VR stack faces - namely bandwidth for video signal and utilization of ARM chips for compute.
Their shitbox is not about being a big hardware player - it's about their commitment to making linux a viable gaming platform.
They most definitely will lose the money on their hardware projects short to medium terms, but if enough manufacturers hop on their bandwagon - the landscape of computing as we know it will inevitably change.
They are in it for a long long one, sit down, enjoy the show.

How expensive is Frame going to be?

It looks like I would actually use it, compared to other headsets

>>725660114
nigga that's a cute wolf

The only one I can see myself buying is the controller, and even then that won't be for a good while (at least until both of the controllers I have start failing) and will also be reliant on how much it costs.
VR is something I would need to try before I consider buying it, and even then I'm not sure there are enough games for it to be worth it and it will just devolve into being a Beat Saber/VRchat/porn machine quickly.
Steam machine is completely pointless if you have a decent PC which I do.

People don't seem to realize that Valve's whole effort since the first Steam Machines has basically been about building an eject button in case Microsoft ever tried to fuck them over (which was a real concern back when Microsoft was pushing its UWP/Store bullshit). The Steam Deck was Valve fixing all the mistakes that made the original Steam Machines unsustainable (because yeah, good luck convincing developers to port their games to an OS with a 0.5% market share). Now they're giving it a proper shot, actually trying to make SteamOS spread for real. If it ends up taking Xbox (console) spot, that's just a nice bonus.

https://www.ign.com/articles/valve-says-it-has-a-pretty-good-idea-of-what-steam-deck-2-is-going-to-be-explains-why-its-holding-off-for-now

RDNA 3.5+ or UDNA? arm64 or x86 for the Steam Deck 2? This is sounding more and more like Valve be switching to ARM if AMD doesn't get their act together with x86?

>>725654998 (OP)
>Controller
No, I already have 2 controllers.
>Machine
No, I already have a gayman PC and steam deck
>VR
Maybe. It depends on the price. I'm at least a bit curious about VR in general.

>>725671891
the fact this whole thing is about the size of my Noctua is pretty cool

vr is dog

it will never happen until we get direct brain-computer interfaces

>>725671480
lol
lmao even

>>725675850
ARM isn't happening, the x86-64 translation negates all the efficiency. Also, it's not like ARM is inherently more efficient than x86. People just think that because of Apple chips, but they're simply two nodes ahead of the rest of the industry since they keep buying out TSMC's entire production. That's why they're so efficient.
I still remember when people thought the M1 was the shit, until AMD released a mobile CPU on the same node that was actually more power efficient.

btw, getting the whole package from AMD is cheaper than designing a custom CPU and getting the GPU from them anyway, and it saves a lot of headaches.

>>725676582
The whole problem with VR is not enough feedback, grabbing something and not actually feeling it sucks.

>>725676642
Will Valve wait for the Zen 6 Chiplet or Zen 7 Monolithic?

Wasnt the deck 500 upon release
This is 380?

I'm feeling robbed here
