Steam Deck Everything We Know
Valve surprised the gaming community this week with the announcement of the Steam Deck, a new foray into dedicated PC gaming hardware.
The portable device bears more than a passing resemblance to Nintendo’s popular handheld-console hybrid, the Nintendo Switch, given its general size and form…
This will bring peace between PC, Console, and mobile gamers.
im saving for it im so happy
Everything we know:
1. Will have to tinker for hours with Retroarch getting games working
2. It's not a dedicated gaming device after all; "open source" glorified PC
3. Essentially is a laptop with a 7 inch screen
4. Battery life will be dialed back to 2 hours aprox.
5. It's HUGE and HEAVY, not comfortable to use for long
6. Steam requires online connection to use games with
7. Stable 60fps and resolution as promised? don't bet on it! 🙂
8. PC style OS means not a simple games machine, prone to errors and complications
9. It's sadly not a simple dedicated gaming device like Switch or GT351.
10. People will buy anything with a brand name on it lol
Finally a persona switch port
Finally, I can get yelled at by my teammates in CS:GO, anywhere!
I’ll get it fuck it
this is an extreme version of the wii u gamepad
Okay how about we hook up an external gpu for more power? Rtx 3060 maybe?
I’m gonna wait two years. Let you plebs get the shyt one first then I’ll get the slimline.
Poor e-sport
Steam deck 256 GB,519 dollar can buy ps 5 as 1
And set up
Will I beacle to use GamePass or Xcloud on this?
Whats the game thats being played at 0:57 seconds on it
So does this mean i can have game pass on this steem deck?
It's a 1280×800 screen, not 720p. 1.47 pounds isn't going to be noticeable unless one is feeble and infirm. Any USB C hub will work in lieu of the dock.
I have a feeling Nintendo is gonna sue value for copying them
Dear Valve, please ensure replacable joycons ! Joycons drift after few months, and if we have to return the whole thing, you will get a horrible reputation.
Can this thing play FFXIV? If yes, I'm sold.
As someone who travels a lot (not as much as of late tho) I can really appreciate this as finding a spot for a laptop and the mouse can be tedious at times
Can it play MFS in VR….
Portable modded Skyrim and Zelda BOTW here I come.
If it can't fit in my back pocket then I might as well continue using my laptop.
Litterally can't get the steam deck out of my head like shit
I will finally be able to play my steam hentai games on my bed
Alyx or bust
I want so much to play the game I'm producing called Parallel on Steam Deck. Thanks Valve, you the best 😊👍
its all about the games!! and Steam has such great cheap deals!!!!!! the amount of money will save with this!!! unless you want to go with Nintendo and always pay higher prices!!!
The only downside to me is that it doesn't use cellular data when your out and about. That was such a missed opportunity. If you have a gaming oc at home you literally have no reason to buy this tbh.
Can someone tell me the game at 04:00? It's a quick shot, but looks great.
A lot of the setbacks are things im not worried about its not like imma be playing photo-realistic games all the time, plus I've noticed valve kinda.. sits back finds the problems, and reinvents them. I mean think about their vive controllers! that shit was crazy obviously not everyone was excited but it was unique and different, they legit just saw the switch and were like.. yeah we can do better.
Mainly, I'll finally be able to play Sonic Generations on the go 😁 (3DS version doesn't count, different game) since Sega won't port that to switch. Also of course looking forward to play other games I didn't have access to yet as a console gamer.
