SteamOS, Steambox, Steam Controller.

dunno why people are moaning about the controller, who gives a shit what it looks like you're meant to be playing the game not staring at the controller

only possible problem with it I can see is the lack of tactile feedback from the trackpads

haptic feedback is supposed to be the answer to that, but I haven't used any haptic feedback devices yet so no idea on how effective they are.

now you can use steam big picture typing. 2 player fps's will be cool

seems like a massively missed opportunity.

this. initial release information was way too convoluted for the average consumer..and this is coming from someone with a high(er) end gaming rig.

it's like they failed to realize the average console purchaser probably has a laptop that has a dual core processor and "does all i need it to do" for their everyday machine. seems ridiculous, they could have done a better job with PR in this regard, especially considering the cartoon sized amount of money they must be making from steam. also feel that they needed to drastically lower the amount of different models from different manufacturers. have the same box, perhaps three different ones like pete said, but have it look exactly the same with the only options for different manufacturers being the internal components.

that said all the web design, advertising and previews are extremely visually appealing, whoever is on gfx duty is killing it. but yeah they kind of dropped the ball

there pushing it back to 2015 to make the controller better again and stuff



id want it to look like this but with a track pad above the stick and get rid of the d pad. then replace the shoulder buttons with triggers and back buttons
