Valve just opened a teaser site counting down to a reveal scheduled to happen in about 72 hours from now.
Considering the hints dropped in the past few days and the “living room” wording in the URL, the site definitely seems to hint to the reveal of a Steam-branded console.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
Would be good for next year...
Wouldn't this just be the supposed "Steambox" reveal?
Maybe they are gunning to compete with ps vita tv
This will be a PC platform for both windows & Linux(going over to Linux), not console centric as PS4 or X1.
As i already have a high end gaming rig, i will be passing this by, but for all those new to the PC gaming, rock on!!.
Kinda reminds me of Alienware's X51 range(mini tower PC) but with Valve OS.
I don't know if I want valve doing this or just concentrate on making good games
They're certainly big enough for this to be a possibility, I suppose. And I'm not just talking about gabens mass
