Edge - "This past week, we’ve been eagerly awaiting Valve’s three announcements that are aimed at revolutionizing the console and PC gaming industry. The first announcement was SteamOS, a free Linux operating system composed primarily of Steam."
Steam's total player count hit an all time record recently, and it foretells the influence that Black Myth: Wukong and China is going to have on gaming.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard hasn't even managed to break into the top 100 best-selling games on Steam, just a month before its launch.
Yep. BioWare has been pumping bad games after bad games. Anthem, Andromeda... Also, the first trailer for Veilguard was abysmal, not only that plus the development cycle was very well known to be extremely troublesome. While the gameplay videos look nice, I think it's fair to say that people are on a "wait and see" approach.
Facts. The art style and companions look AWFUL. I can't believe how terrible the game looks when dragon age 3 was so incredible.
Almost all the original talents who made early Mass Effect and Dragon Age series has left. It’s all just subpar replacements handling IPs they don’t deserve.
You know, you have to wonder if they never shuttered Anthem 2.0.... if they would have been able to have a redemption and not have this cloud of uncertainty looming over them. Not that they've really done anything to warrant anything besides uncertainty and expected disappointment
Make sense something seems off about this title can't point to what however but I hope it works for people that have been hyped for it. At the same time, I can't help but think it's going be a pseudo letdown.
Bioware hasn’t quite been themselves in the past few years. Even if the game is really good, Bioware must earn back the trust they had.
Bioware we once knew and loved is long dead along with many others. They're just here in name now taken over by talentless morons who have no business making games. Don't buy it, let them tank just like Concord. Consumers have shown that we have power.
Valve's highly anticipated multiplayer game, Deadlock, has already become a target for cheaters even though it hasn't been officially released. Currently in a
The trackpads and face buttons worry me the most.
The trackpad is basically a virtual analog stick and like the writer said, if you've tryed mobile gaming with that thing, it blows.
The face buttons are so awkwardly placed as well.
The touch pad aspect will definitely take some getting used to. I've played touch screen games before that have tried to emulate analog stick functionality. Let's just say that don't have the best performance track records...
Also, what's up with the button placement? Would it not make more sense to have all the buttons grouped closely together? To press Y or X, it looks like I would have to take my thumb off the left touch pad. What if need to keep using the touch pad to, let's say, more forward? If need to press Y or X, would have to just stop completely? Also, what if need to press to buttons at the same time?
Maybe it will just take some getting used to, but it does fairy awkward as it currently stands.
It looks weird, and the idea of it seems a little strange as well. I'm not sure how it'll work at all, and it may be an expensive proposition to be able to try the thing out, only to find it's not that great.
I think a better solution is simply a wireless mouse and keyboard, or better yet, one of those Splitfish controllers you can get that has a mouse and nunchuck set up with programmable buttons on both. Combine that with a PS4 or Xbox One joypad for games that work better with a pad. The Steam pad looks more than a little awkward, as those above have already said.
My thumbs definitely won't accept this thing. Whatever it is. Lol
This pad might prove good in fps or rts games. I don't think so it will be suitable for all genres.
It seems to me this will be like playing with a virtual controller on a touchscreen device.
