- Steam Frame (standalone VR)- Steam Machine (small pc, steamOS)- Steam Controller (controller with gyro)Is any of this shit actually good? which are you guys buying?
>>521374058What is steam
>>>/v/
>>521374058You're a braindead subhuman nigger if you're playing vidya in 2025.
Looks good on paper. Not buying on launch dough.
>>521374138Video games are political. A nigger just killed Ubisoft IRL.
>>521374121Steam is the iTunes if videogames Near monopoly on online videogame sales
>>521374058Depends how much it costs. If it's anywhere more than 300 bucks then fuck no, I can just stay on my desk.
>>521374058just sold my valve index in preparation for the steam frame. probably gonna wait a little while after it comes out though in case they launch an oled version or something
>>521374121>>521374058Vr will always be a memeIt's a novelty for an hour, but the weight and trapped heat name it not realistic .
>>521374241I zee
>>521374121Very hot dehydrated water if it's any good
>>521374389How is vr porn ?
>>521374058>porn frame>android tablet APU with 8GB VRAM>fugly controller with a useless gimmickgabebox has a potential to be an emulation monster but if it's anything above 400€ then it's DOA
>>521374058buying pre built pc's are for nigger brains
>>521374058Can't talk about the Frame because I'm not a VR guy.Machine, its all about the price. Slam dunk at $450-500. Might be $650 for the 2TB model and that's still a steal.Target audience isn't the enthusiast PC enjoyer, it's the FIFA nigger who used to play seXbox.That said, it's almost 6x6x6 inches. The dimensions slightly deviate. Triggers the jewdar slightly. From a company in SoCal? No shit.The Controller is the most interesting of the lot.Those 4 grip buttons it has are much needed for some emulation usecases and some games, it's shit to map keyboard shortcuts to. No more weird L3 button combinations in Retroarch.The touchpads, sticks and buttons come straight from the Deck so those ought to be good, and the sticks are TWR which is the hottest meme in thumbstick land.
>>521374422>€400they're selling the base model deck for 400 and 700 for the premium, since they already said x4 power than I'd assume at least x2 the price so 800 for the lower spec box and 1400 for the better modelstandalone vr will probably be around 1k given the full index kit was 1200 and the controller will most likely be a solid 200all of this will be sold out in daysscreencap this
>>521374454It's not so much that, it's the fact that other OS's are wickedly inconvenient now to the regular Joe. Windows is rapidly getting worse and people want to jump ship. MacOS? Fuck no. Linux? Don't got the time or patience. People game on computers and use steam mostly. If steam releases an OS like this, best case scenario is windows back tracks and stops being shit, worse case scenario is now the majority of people who play games will stick with steam and windows will collapse. Microsoft hired Indians, Indians ruined it. This situation is now the result.
>>521374058New Jewish mind control equipment huh
>>521374793the valve index was $999 when i bought mine in early 2020
>>521374058I'll stick with the classic
>>521374241free emulators tho
>>521374793>since they already said x4 power than I'd assume at least x2 the price so 800 for the lower spec box and 1400 for the better modelI'd like to see them try to sell it at this price because that's just a scam
>>521374793Over 6x as powerful, as per their advertising.Then again it's about as powerful as a PS5, slightly more powerful, and that's $500. The Slim is $400.
>>521374977Checked. This shit looks retarded but I got it for $5 and it's actually kind of amazing.>>521374058If the controller is $70 or less it's a day 1 purchase. If the price it at like $200 to compete with dual sense edge / Xbox elite controller, I'll pass The GabeCube is actually pretty good but I don't need it at all. Already have a better PC.The headset I'm probably getting. It's where VR should've been years ago.I hate valve and steam(ing pile of shit,) btw but I can't deny this is by far the best vr tech I've seen.
Will probably get the steam frame since I'm into VR. Having an inside out tracking headset that can work in total darkness seems pretty sweet since I'm one of those weirdos that likes to sleep in VR and light bleed from the outside world really kills the eepy vibes.
Might get the controller if it gets good emulator support for trackpads and gyro
>>521374058Is mommy going to get you a new flavor of juice to go with your video games? Touch grass you pale sickly faggot. Vidya is like artificial life support for your brain.
>>521374058>Valve trying steam machines again after they failed catastrophicallyBut why? What is wrong with these retards lately?>>521374241>Near monopolyand all it took was offering some sales and giving decent support, though it hasn't been without its ups and downs (refunds or that paid mods bullshit).
>>521374058i love how they fuckin dropped support of the first controller just to later make another that is about the same....fuck no, i'm not buying anything game related ever again
>>521376198What made the Machines fail in 2015 was that they completely relied on third-party manufacturers to produce the hardware, and that Proton and other methods of playing Windows games on Linux just weren't good enough for commercial application.Nobody made the machines because the software wasn't there, and the software wasn't there because ironically the only people who got into Linux and stayed there were people who don't play a lot of games.But obviously that changed tremendously since 2015 as people grew disgusted with Windows and saw the need to develop an alternative, which took its sweet time but is now ripe for the harvest.
>steam machineconsidering this is going for entry level pc/console players they need to absolutely get the price right or its DOA. steam deck worked for its price because its more novel. this is a "not a console" linux pc, you need to convince your average console retard to switch over to it, and barrier to entry has already been established with it not being windows. its a lot more convincing if priced at ~400 funny moneythey will need to sell at a loss (if they already aren't) and recoup with steam game sales. they basically own the pc games market, so
>>521374058>there are still no good gamesI can upgrade my budget PC for $250 to do everything Steam Machine is doing.Also I would buy a Steam Machine at %20 off from a skin trader who wanted to cash out so fuck day 1 buying.But there are still no good games coming out. Even GTA 6 is in question after Starfield, DragonAge, NiggersfromJapan, ect. I don't need a high end system to run indie games or games from 10 years ago.I want Steam OS to work and replace Windows though.
>>521376479It's gonna work like the Deck.Start in console mode, desktop mode is an option.Most people will just turn it on and play FIFA.While technically constructed as a PC that happens to work as a console, it's a console that happens to also work as a PC.
>>521374058>>>/v/Not political
>>521376491>But there are still no good games coming out. Even GTA 6 is in question after Starfield, DragonAge, NiggersfromJapan, ect. I don't need a high end system to run indie games or games from 10 years ago.this....i have zero interest in any new games whatsoever... all the good developers either left or are too old and pozzed...the industry sucks so much ass
>>521374058go to hell video game industry.
>>521376422Valve is trying to enter a market that nobody asked for and nobody wants. That's what made them fail in the first place. Maybe these new steam machines will be heavily discount in 1-2 years and be decent 4K media streamers.
>>521374058You can put it in the middle of your room. When you're not playing, you can just walk around it over and over.
>>521374417>521374417It's in the early stages, like very early You can sample it by going crossed then aligning the 2 images to form a 3d image in the center touch will be 3dThe problem is videos are always out of focus and the girl has to stay the exact same distance away, but never does you it's constantly, didn't now how to describe it, I guess being crosseyed or drunk even with good vr headsets.Also the selection is extremely limited, you'll never find good fetish porn, only stuff a middle schooler would jack off tok
>>521374058why is this /v/ in my /pol/?
>>521374058You can get a minipc with better performance for 400$ on AliExpress and without paying 1$ to taxes. Just sayin', chinks are bros.
>>521376727Actually i want it because windows is crap for running video games due to background processes
>>521376727>nobody's asking for a cheap alternative to the PS5 that isn't the derelict XboxHow big is the rock you've been living under?
>>521374389From what I understand after the 10 minutes I spent looking into this thing, you can play non VR games on it too and it supports Android games. So it's a bit more than a standard VR headset.
>>521376581>Start in console mode, desktop mode is an optiondidnt know this, makes the machine a bit more compelling but people with established libraries on console are probably still a hard sell, we will see>>521376865those are great but throttle like a bitch quickly, the steam machine looks like they actually gave a shit about cooling
>>521374241>near monopoly>Microsoft store>PlayStation store>Epic games store>Green man gaming>EA Games Store>Ubisoft Store>Battle.netDisingenuous kike
>>521374058The VR googles should be pretty good, they are running a KDE linux fork and I expect them to be open source and reflashable as steam hardware was before. I think that's the first uncucked commercial VR headset.
>>521376996No they don't, peak temperature for my Ryzen minipc is like 75c under 100% load and that's nowhere close to throttle limit. There are also some passively cooled minipcs, pretty genius stuff desu.
>>521377092interesting, ive had a beelink for a few years that i play around with and it throttles, but its an older model and ive never bothered re applying paste or anything
>>521374121It's similar to gas moshe
>>521376973That's doable on all vr headsets.Even a decade ago there were mods to play retro games in VR like the legend of Zelda ocarina of time, mods for GTA v and Skyrim vr VR, and you can use virtual desktop to play whatever you wanted on the headset without it being vr.
>>521376727Nobody wanted Steam when it first came out either, and now its a monolith of the industry that makes companies 10x the size of Valve seethe because they can't topple it. Gaben's greatest strength is that he doesn't chase trends. He doesn't give a single fuck about whether or not the idea is popular or not, only about where or not he thinks it will work. If its good enough, it will become popular over time.
>>521377334I didn't do any mods to mine really, depends if it's an Intel or AMD chip too. Intel processors are bs the last 4-5 years. Overheating like crazy and with cuck cores.
>>521376422I wonder if this will eventually result in a Valve-supported SteamOS becoming available for PC. A lot of people still avoid Linux because they think it is dark magic, a version of Linux that you KNOW up front will play your videogames and which is vouched for by a company you already trust would probably be a good foot in the door for getting casual PC users to consider switching to it to get away from Windows.
>>521376793/:
>>521377334I bought a GMKtec K8 plus with 32 GB DDR5 and 1 TB SSD and it was like 430$ with shipping this summer. Now it's like 630$, pricing for SSDs and RAM got fucked up recently because of AI.
>>521374200lmao
>>521377011Lol all of those hover around 1-5% market share.Where as steam has 70% market share of all online game sales aka near monopoly
>>521374138this
>>521376911Nigger the steam deck wasn't exactly a home run hit. >>521377461>Nobody wanted steamYes everybody wanted steam in fact.
>>521374058>Steam Machine is 6 times stronger than Steam deck>Steam Frame doesn't need to be connected similar to the Quest, and it runs on Steam OS on ARM>new Steam controller is Steam Deck without a screen.Impressive. Looks like GabeN want's to murder Xbox and Microsoft for good.If they make the Frame's price lower than the Quest they'll dominate the market and normalize VR headsets everywhere, just like he's normalizing Linux. I'm assuming that's what they're going for since they're using monochrome passthrough for now.Best part is all of them are just small PCs so you can do whatever you want with it, that means emulation on Deck, Machine and Frame.
>>521374389This is is so weak a Vr headset is heavy and making xer feel hot>ngmi
>>521379169But you can't ick on the eck for the Steam Machine bro
