this new steam controller seems like it's going to be the best pc gaming controller on the market when it drops
steam frame also looks like it's going to be the best pcvr headset when it comes out
this new steam machine though will probably flop unless it's really cheap though

>>20983 (OP)The foveated rendering and streaming with eye tracking seems really interesting, especially with the high resolution of the display. Eye tracking in general has a lot of potential with NPCs responding to what you are looking at. Like if you are a sperg that can't make direct eye contact, maybe they respond to it. Or if you make eye contact, they look away after a second or two depending on what kind of person they are. Or getting scolded when you look at tits. Things like that. I hope the cameras that do it are able to be tapped into for even more than that like detecting if you look angry or sad.

>>20983 (OP)The lack of explicit hand tracking is disappointing. Controllers should be an optional accessory these days. I've used a quest 3 and it was really impressive and those are 2 years old ATP.

>>21002I will never understand why VR hasn't taken the Wii approach and hand things you can socket controller in to make them props you can use in game. Having a physical sword you have to sheath or a gun to holster would be really cool. I'm thinking having a rifle and a pistol on you that you physically have to swap between and reload. Or a carpentry game where you have to use a real hammer and saw. Or a dick sucking machine

>>21005Most standalone VR headsets are just glorified android phones. So long as it's an APK it should work. Normal phone apps even work on Metaslop if you sideload them, and valve said they would make sideloading easy

i wonder how the steam frame is going to be priced
the controllers seem much more basic than the knuckles controllers the index has

Literal Ewaste tier GPU. If you buy or want this, you are a certified retard the world would be better off without.

this will probably be good for linux as a whole

>>20983 (OP)Terrible timing for them to fuse off the igpu on the box with frame gen getting so popular. You could also use it for video encoding paired with the frame or just recording but valve is retarded
β21039[Quote]
>>21009yeah
the console is going to flop unless it's priced low enough to undercut the ps5, which it won't be
the controller looks really good though
β21083[Quote]
>>21078The frame and the box are two separate products. The Frame is more like a quest competitor and works standalone too

Another vr headset even doe there's like 5 good vr games
β21093[Quote]
If it's going to be around 1000$ in eu I'll buy it, I have never had a gaming device in my entire life, no pc, no consoles not even a handheld. If I can use this thing as a PC + it's cheap + it's light + it has a good gpu/cpu then I'm fucking buying it lol
β21095[Quote]
>>20983 (OP)im interested in how they will tackle the frame's ARM cpu. apparently they're using FEX with library passthrough to handle x64 games.

after watching a bunch of videos about it, seems like the headset has about the same power as a steam deck when taking the VR aspect of its use case into account for processing overhead. its a steam deck on your face when you dont want to play VR games, and its a best in class wireless streaming VR headset when used with a PC. they'll make billions. yes it emulates, yes you can sideload APK's, and yes you can play windows games on it. expect around the perfomance of the deck tho
β21123[Quote]
>>21122also like the steam deck it has a "desktop mode" so I'd bet on a few long format jewtube videos about "I USED THE STEAM FRAME AS MY PC FOR A MONTH" or something by june.
β21124[Quote]
>>21123also the port on the back of the headset for charging the battery is USB 2 so you can hook up a wired keyboard/mouse, or plug into a piano or something for whatever. the expandability of this device is something ive personally been waiting for for a while. it has a pci port under the nose bridge for adding color cameras for color passthrough. TLDR its cool and probably gonna cost around 799

All depends on price especially for machine. I find it amusing how people are preemptively making sensationalist headlines and titles declaring linux is mainstream or xbox is dead

>>210931000 euro would be way overpriced since it apparently has laptop tier parts in it, albeit tweaked and iverclocked

>>21133The GPU alone makes it garbage with a 2 year lifespan at most. This thing is for kids that are too stupid to make a PC and soyboys that want le hecckin small, overpriced media PC for their TV.

>>21163>What? A GPU that doesn't have thrembillion gigabytes of vram to play my wholesome AAAA goyslop games? Heckin' downvoted!Only shitty games require more than 8 gigs of vram

we yes WE dickride valve. i really liked playing the half life and portal games recently and have been using steam for years to offload games that take up too much space on my computer and play them on other devices without having to remember what unreliable piracy site i wouldve otherwise got it from. the GabeCube will make it so console players can pirate games if they want and wont have to pay a subscription for multiplayer games. also valve dont give a shit about their own IP so people can use their stuff wherever unlike nintendo
β21225[Quote]
>>21196The Intel B580 has more. Valve is literally just handing out old laptop parts with a slightly higher power limit.

>>21357Of course not. Even if Valve still made video games, they would be shoveling garbage.

>>21357I think Valve are waiting for the fans to make their own interpretation of HL3. What with the interdimensional concepts of the entire Half-Life franchise and the time travel concepts introduced in Half-Life: Alyx, select fan works might be partially officialized as offset timelines, with their semantic barycenter being what becomes Half-Life 3.

>>21314This guy is a proletarian brain dead faggot who spits out random words with barely knowing what he is saying. Valve is not the best company but not maliciously trash either like Epic Games, Nintendo and the other worthless garbage who actually would sell you for a cent if they could. Fanboying any company is retarded and you should fucking kill yourself if you do that but acting like they are the worst company is retarded as well. Maybe the controller is the only thing which actually worth something. Cube is not worthless either but mostly useless except for a few very niche use.
