Alex from GamesOnSmash.com writes "On the recent episode of GTTV, the entire show was basically dedicated to Valve with announcements of new DLC for L4D, Portal 2 info and the unveiling of Portal 2's co-op.
During an interview with Eric, Product Manager for Valve, Geoff asked a question if Valve would ever connsider cross platform play between PC and PlayStation 3 owners in the near future."
According to Valve: “The launch of Steam Deck will be delayed by two months. We’re sorry about this—we did our best to work around the global supply chain issues, but due to material shortages, components aren’t reaching our manufacturing facilities in time for us to meet our initial launch dates. Based on our updated build estimates, Steam Deck will start shipping to customers February 2022.”
Totally understandable given the current climate, but also a big blow for hype for sure. I would not be surprised if there was a further delay down the road, given how unpredictable assembly lines are at the moment.
That's a bummer, but only 2 months, and understandable given how unpredictable HW is right now.
Disappointing but not really surprised. I'll still be waiting and keep my pre order
Valve's Gabe Newell believes that a brain interface for computers will make even more immersive games possible in the future that could surpass reality. He also thinks that this could be implemented very soon.
I would buy a machine that is set up to how Kirito and Asuna play games in Sword Art Online
That sounds cool but imagine the social consequences some people would get really attached to that alternate reality.
I really dont give a flying monkey doodoo about all this futurism bs. Its really just sad, old timers on their way out desperately trying to stay relevant when they should have been making good games for the last 20 years.
75 hours in and here's our review of Cyberpunk 2077 from a gamers perspective [Steam PC - No Spoilers]
Satisfy your RPG cravings in the beautiful world of Cyberpunk. Bugs and performance issues aside, the core gameplay is brilliant.
a new update is up for Cyberpunk 2077 1.06 is out!, for some reason is pretty exciting to get updates for this game lol :D
...oh yeah about this review.....hmmmm .... well it says review in the article title alright, sorry I only wanted to post the news about the new update lol.
that would be awesome, I hope this does happen.
Got pretty pumped when I heard this on GTTV today. This is actually something they can achieve as well compared to cross platform between ps3 and xbox 360 which got no chance what so ever.
Once they get steam on the PS3 I think we will see many changes that we did except and didn't. And if we got a fps cross platform provided by Valve between PS3 and PC we could finally settle the rivalry score once for all :p
if they can achieve this, idk i can't describe it. Simply put i guess it would be amazing
That would be so cool, that means tons of other players to play with. I can't wait for this to happen! If Valve can make this happen I will never ever make fat Gabe jokes ever again!
The PC players would completely destroy the console players.
Don't tell me they won't because I will bet you anything a mouse will beat a controller 10 times out of 10. However! Because of this I hope it does happen as I play all my Valve games on Steam.
Edit: @xYLeinen - No doubt there are some seriously skilled console gamers out there. Even I think I could take some PC guys myself with a controller but I was speaking on completely level terms. Skill for skill a mouse will beat a controller in speed and accuracy. The best PC gamer will no doubt beat the best console gamer. Not to mention almost all console games have auto-aim as default and people have become used to it.
Just watch a couple videos of pro PC tournaments on youtube and then compare them to.. say pro Halo tournaments or whatever the go-to PS3 fps is. The stuff PC guys pull off would seem RIDICULOUS to do on a controller. Shadow Run was proof of this. The guys on PC slaughtered the 360 guys hands down and because of this the game died off almost entirely on 360 shortly after release.
