Thoughts on the New Valve Steam Deck
i think the steam deck is gonna be FIRE
whatchu think?
That’s exactly why they are doing it. Nintendo exposed the markets desire for AAA games on a mobile device that’s not our phones.
It's time to raid the piggybank!
Doesn't it say on the microsoft compatibility page for windows 11 that it requires a display bigger than 9 inches? So will this even be able to run windows 11 without an external display?
maybe for the kids that call themselves " Mobile Gamers "
Is this vr ready? Would make a cool micro backpack to use with valve index
I would love to sees follow up to the PS Vita
I can dream right 🥺
your face and skin looks so red maybe something to do with overdosed saturation …
Wait till people figure out how to mine crypto on these
I don’t know if I’m getting one but DAMN it’s cool.
256gb Dual Boot, WIndows and steam os, store all games on a 1tb micro sd.
Or get 64gb Emmc and install , custom windows images (ghost spectre superlite) and use 1tb micro sd
i prefer hi def resolution, you can always set low res.
And u can install windowsssss??? And connect it with Monitor? The $529 is reeaally appealing with nvme Storage. No PC can top this with that kind of pricetag.
We need a PSP 4000 series from Sony which would support PSP, PS Vita, PS1 and PS2 games natively.
I think it will a failure just like Steam controller and Artifact.
Gabe got Dave super excited
Now this is future.
Control alone is 42gb, apex is around 60gb.
And not available in Africa because they hate it for some reason.
Now pc gamers can game while pooping too..
This will help Valve onboard more mobile games and perhaps the "traditional" console games like monster hunter, zelda & fire emblem can also be ported to the Steam Deck. Great potential!
Well, if they had gone with a 1080p panel, the user could lower the resolution to 720p at will. Now the system is stuck with a mediocre display out the box and nothing will fix that.
Valve is a company that does things because they think they're cool. Gabe knows that if Steam goes belly up tomorrow, he's fine. They don't waste money. I'm sure that they're getting into this with some market research done, but they think that this is cool. Also, this makes the Steam Box possible again. If they are successful selling these, they're no reason to not put an AMD APU in an inexpensive box and sell that also.
Yo Dave, both the device and u looks like a steam crab.
Sorry for lame joke.
According to the internet, this guy is 40 years old.
I dunno if i believe that.
15W APU is seriously impressive! I'm guessing it'll be PS4 level of performance in a handheld. And at that price, it's even better! The Switch not only has awful controls, screen, no Bluetooth, bad WiFi but also worse hardware than your smartphone, and is more expensive. I hope Valve gets the logistics right for this, rather than it being another Steam Controller in terms of availability
Why is it ok for a portable gaming console to have 720p resolution but a phone has to be 1080p or above? Aside from battery life…
Also, the higher end model is more expensive than home consoles. I wonder how many will go for the high end.
Who's this for?
This is to convert console players to pc players, they sell it at a manufacturing price so they make it up with marketplace sales, like console manufacturers do, 5 years from now people will have a collection of games on steam, so they'll upgrade to a pc or similar device keeping the customer in the marketplace, it is a great move that will probably pay off in the long run.
This is also significantly cheaper than a switch in the long run, it is also an easier sell to parents (yes dad, I can use it to study aswell).
Damn, goodbye switch
Valve is 10 years ahead of its time.
Future proofing with cloud gaming
"The controls are weirdly positioned."
Well, I didn't know your thumbs were at the underside of your hand.
Wow dev is civ gamer😍
At 298 mm in length its as long as a dell xps 13. This thing seems chunky.
2 questions:
1. How well can it run VR games?
2. How does it compare to an M1 Mac Mini for content creation?
So it's a NUC with screen and battery and controller selling cheaper then barebone NUC, hell I'll buy it to run Minecraft server
Lots of kids between the ages of 8-15 grew up playing games on a Nintendo Switch. Those folks will be 12-19 this year. Valve is targeting them. They want to introduce the Switch generation to PC gaming.
Great, now a bunch of console 0layers can tell us how they use arch btw
A gray matte table would be better though 🙂
so, a 250$ AMD pc in console form. Seems legit
Im just really concerned about the button lay-out. It looks so uncomfortable.. I’ll wait for reviews but its a definite pick up for me
It will be a failure product unfortunately..
That GPU is gonna be in the next Exynos.
It's 1.6 TFlops and it only consumes 15Ws of power with a X86 CPU.
Imagine that thing with an ARM CPU.
It's gonna be crazy.
It's to capture traction towards the SteamOS. More compatible games.
Great device. Bots will buy them the second they drop on market. Base model 399. Reality scalper price 1000. SMH
The fact that the d-pads and other buttons are so far up top means this device was designed only with large hands in mind
