The Steam Universe is Expanding in 2014 (steambox?)

[Liquid]

right when we were almost through a full exchange without your fanboy bias showing itself

http://www.t3.com/news/xbox-kinect-fastest-selling-consumer-electronics-device-ever

the people that made it the fastest selling electronic device ever didn't think it was downgrade.

breh, miss me with all that sales talk.

A Kinect game was universally dismissed as shovelware by the gaming community. It was a downgrade in terms of quality games.

Get linux brehs

kinda curious about the OS for my PC. could conceivably get better performance and be way less bloated. I guess I would have to duel boot to play windows games though

 

[daze23]

also doubting my third prediction now (sharing). they've already mentioned it a few times, including today, so it wouldn't make for much of a final announcement. maybe Source 2. Steam OS + Source2.... = HL3

I recall them saying that they had relly good tools for DirectX to OpenGL porting, who knows...

Theyre gonna show off the steam controller and SteamBox

lol, I think the controller might be their only hardware. they've definitely used wording like "living room machines" that seems to suggest they will leave it up to hardware manufacturers or individuals to make the 'box'. although I do think they'll have some kind of steambox to show us this week

Just you wait. They will team up with Samsung to make 1080p upgradeable HTPCTVs running on SteamOS

actually kinda conceivable. they already got those "smart tv's" that come with netflix support and shyt

sounds like Valve is bringing that stuff to the SteamOS/box

We’re working with many of the media services you know and love.

I think the general idea is to offer several tiers of application. Watch Sony fukk around and drop a SteamOS app for PS4....

being an open and free OS definitely opens the doors for many companies to get into the business. just think if any company could make their own xbox/ps

Nvidia gonna fukk around and just drop the TitanBox

And it'll be overpriced as fukk & none one will buy it.

 

[satam55]

The sooner SteamOS can make Windows irrelevant, the better.

I think a lot of people would though. if there was a more powerful $600 version of the PS4, I think a lot of people would buy that too

I think the console market sells a lot people short by chasing a more 'family friendly' price point. the compromises they have to make seem more apparent than ever with this "next gen"

It's strange that you would accept a steambox, but wont build a mini itx computer

size/price are the keys my friend.

 

[Rekkapryde]

a desktop isn't portable enough, so I would rather lug around three devices

If my work laptop was strong enough, I would. Depending on the games, I might alternate, but I'm not giving up my console exclusives and the community.
