GameZone writes, " Valve recently revealed the in-house prototype of Steam Machines, and with it, the news that, though they will be joining the ranks of living-room gaming, they have no plans to release games exclusively for SteamOS.
This is an unsurprising move for Valve, a prophetically open company whose very hardware line is based on open-source infrastructure (in this case, Linux). However, the move, while refreshingly pro-consumer, is also all but required of Valve."
Release date and expected launch time for when the Fallout 4 next-gen update will come out along with how to download.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I loved that New Star GP ended up being nothing like what I was expecting from it. I thought I was going to get a simple and straightforward love letter to Virtua Racing, only for it to be something more akin to the best F1 racing games from the mid to late 90s, with a perfect blend of accessible physics and simulation elements. New Star GP is adorably retro in its visuals and vibes, but it’s got some surprising amount of depth and an interesting career mode. A little hidden gem in the racing scene, without a doubt."
But it'll come with the largest library of launch games ever seen, win win.
the steam machine is not even close to being on my radar.
I've got a great pc, a handheld, and an xbox and ps, so what's the point, really?
I'm going to dual-boot with Windows for awhile. Hoping a major portion of Steam games eventually work on Steam OS. I'm so tired of Windows.
Really? Steam has one of the biggest list of exclusives around. If you are counting the many, many indie games on it that do not appear on any console.
If I want to play my steam games on my PC with a controller with my TV. Then I'll just simply hook up my controller to my PC and hook my PC up to my TV via HDMI cord.
Why do people keep on forgetting that you can play your pc games on a tv?
That's why I see this steambox as a pointless purchase. Sure the idea and concept is great "the awesomeness of PC with the convenience of a console" But with out any stand out exclusives which consoles thrive on then I just don't see it succeeding.
