Valve: Future Hardware Plans

[DrywallDreams]

I might just preorder a controller because i'm crazy, but I'm defo getting a link

[ElectroSheep]

The link is not that expansive compared to the cable needed to connect my PC to the TV

[FMPONE]

Anybody buying a steam machine?

[ElectroSheep]

I would love too but too expansive for now

[DrywallDreams]

From my experience doing my own Steam Machine, it's not very worth it.  In my experience, it was a Fez machine, then a "type in a terminal and swear at Linux's generally bad wireless support" machine.  

Of course with hardware meant to run it, it should work much better.  You will still need to deal with the performance of Linux games though.  I was having trouble running L4D2 at 60 fps on a 560 gtx.  Once linux gets less finicky, it should be worth it.  Buuuut the question is when that will happen.

Also i preordered a steam controller.  I still had money from selling a TF2 hat

Waited for their controller for ages, when they announced the autumn release I decided I codnt wait that long. Anyway reviews for this are a must -- although feedback was generally positive

Currently, I'm more waiting for the SteamVR.

hmm I have a decent PC so a Steam machine purchase is not a the top of my list. I'm considering to get a PS4, but a Steam Link and controller might be a better/cheaper alternative. Interesting!

Looks like they put up the steam controller up for pre order, I wish I could try one before buying it. here's hoping it's on E3 somewhere, then i'll put my order in.

​let me know what you think if you find one, I'm curious about it too

[Buddy]

I tried it out when I was visiting Valve last year (or two years back? Can't remember). Back then it looked like when they first announced it (no analog stick) and it was already working pretty well.

 

I would Preorder if it was possible over here.

wait... what? 2 stage trigger to zoom and then shoot, but also a pad further round under remaining fingers?

I appreciate the use of more fingers in a natural position rather than millions of triggers, but that sounds really uncomfortable?

Kinda tempted to get the controller but I don't feel like it's urgent. I'm pretty happy gaming on my PS4 for now.

I've had a go at the earlier versions with no joystick. Im glad they added it. I felt that was the biggest thing missing.
