Valve branded PC?

http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/2/2840932...ng-console

Nothing can come of this except for more bad console > PC ports and Valve moving away from the PC market altogether. Neither of which is good.


They already made sure to dominate the PC game distribution platform with Steam, we do not need them having that sort of leverage over the PC market while dabbling in a console, which is a direct competitor to Steam (The PC market)




THE MYANS WERE FUCKING RIGHT.

You know, there's always the chance that the box might just, I don't know, run off steam? It's entirely possible that it's just a valve-constructed or valve-branded PC. It might even be entirely optional to change video cards for it.

Pretty cool idea to me, making essentially a cheaper gaming PC/less restrictive console alternative, built around the digital Steam service. Could be neat.

this is exactly what it is going to be
valve was already working on steams "big screen mode", now they're just taking it one step further and giving you a controller and a micro pc to plug in to your tv.

Ahhh. I'd still like it though. This beta has me much more excited than the Dota 2 one.

So, Brian Fargo just started a Kickstarter for a sequel to Wasteland which was essentially the predecessor to the Fallout series. Donate if you'd like to see a new RPG in the same vein.

...If I had money I'd back this for two reasons:
1: The "There's a Fallout 1 and 2?" made me cry blood
2: If this works it may inspire more people to try something similar, if not entirely the same and we could see better come of it...

wow it almost sounds like minimally more effort than an average console port

I'll take my victories when I can. Stuff like FoV sliders and disabling mouse smoothing is enough to make me feel they actually care about us. That and the menus you can actually click and scroll on, that's also good.

Off topic, why was my avatar here suddenly changed Linkon Park? Now it's not even letting me upload the one I made. I don't like not having a face.

Your avatar is fine, it's you.



Also something I noticed in that page that brings me to a script I made; key remapping.

If anyone plays one of the ported games wherein controls are not remappable, it's fairly easy to write a script with auto-it that can intercept key presses and redirect them, so you can forcefully remap your keys instead of the bindings they're assigned to, if this interests anyone I'll gladly help you figure it oot.

Well true a win in one way is good but im sure there is a vicious bitchslap waiting for all those hopefuls when borderlands 2 comes out like still having to use the awful gamespy login system in game.

[backfire]

Dark Souls PC looking very likely.

Warning: Kotaku

[Spore]

Well, I'm glad.

Steam just randomly spewed 3 50% off coupons for Heroes of Might and Magic VI into my inventory. I already own it, and it's terrible. Would anyone else like to have it inflicted upon them?

[Elder]

oh dark souls. Let the pain commence
