What Valve's Steam Box Means to the Console Gamer

Valete Graham writes, "But even in our console centric world, it’s hard not to notice how great Steam is. Insane deals, seamless mod integration, robust community support, and countless indie games; what’s not to love? So when the folks at Valve mention even in passing that a console may be in the works, I can’t help thinking about the possibilities."

Its just a freaking rumor, this is getting out of hand.

CynicalVision4584d ago

When don't rumours get out of hand? The majority of these internet "journalists" will grab onto to anything in the hopes for a couple of hits, no matter how much of a stretch it is.

"And a brand name like Alienware makes even the most hardcore of console gamers do a double take when passing by them in stores. Those bright neon LEDs simply call out to us. And the promise of graphics of face-melting proportions is too great to ignore. But after our eyes glance over the price tag of such attractive and powerful machines, it quickly rockets us back to Earth."

It's a pity that Alienware has to ruin console gamers' perception of PC gaming. It's not outlandish to build a good PC for ~$600 that's comparable to a doubly-priced Alienware PC.

Yea, Alienware is just overpriced garbage that makes PC gaming look completely unaffordable. It's a shame, really.

That's what ibuypower.com is for. ;)

I used ibuypower for the computer i have right now. The prices were good but the service is AWFUL. My computer arrived with the whole side smashed in and a doa motherboard. Then I sent it back and it took them over a month to send another computer with a doa GPU. The third one finally worked, but it shouldn't take 3 months and 2 computers to get a working computer.

When it comes down to it, everyone should build their own PC even if they don't know much about them. It's very easy to learn and will save you money and time.

Gaben mentioned if they did make a platform it would have changeable hardware in it therefore, not a console :)

Their last game was Anthem, of course people are waiting for reviews

TricksterArrow6d ago

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.

Gamings-Last-Legend6d ago

Facts. The art style and companions look AWFUL. I can't believe how terrible the game looks when dragon age 3 was so incredible.

Dragon Age: MoDeRn AuDiEnCeS

Hotpot6d ago

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.

Redgrave5d ago

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

IAMRealHooman6d ago

we've been burned by the industry too many times its a wait and see now

Miacosa6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

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.

Armaggedon6d ago

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.

Lionsguard6d ago

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.
