Valve's next announcements should be their controller, and the third should be Source 2.0 (OpenGL based) and Left 4 Dead 3 to go with it.


What about the SteamBox itself?


I'm not convinced that is an actual thing that is happening, there is a reason they gutted their hardware team. Most likely they will let various manufacturers build hardware around SteamOS. Gabe has said that Valve is not a hardware company and won't manufacture hardware unless they have too. Inforcing one hardware spec doesn't really make sense for Valve when they are pushing a free open OS.

Thanks, Shack News.

EA restructuring corporate positions, Patrick Söderlund to take over as head of EA Sports – report

Electronic Arts is moving its corporate structure around a bit, according to a report on Polygon. Andrew Wilson, who is the firm’s new CEO, left a vacant position within EA Sports and Origin with his promotion, and the report states that Patrick Söderlund, currently EVP of EA’s games label, will be taking over as the head of EA Sports while Frank Gibeau, president of EA games labels, will now head up the firm’s mobile division and Origin. Polygon was unsure whether Gibeau’s role as the head of EA Labels will be maintained. We’ll update you when more information becomes available.

Editorial: An Appeal For Unrealism

By John Walker on September 24th, 2013 at 7:00 pm.

“Realism”. It’s probably the most common phrase I read in the forests of press releases that tower over me every day – boasts of a game’s attempts at realism. “Realistic weapons”, “realistic gravity”, “realistic AI”… And each time a part of me looks up into the sky, raises its arms, and wails. “Buuuuut whyyyyyyyyyyyy?!”

It’s no longer possible for a console to be a better or more capable graphics platform than the PC, says NVIDIA.

http://www.pcpowerplay.com.au/2013/09/nvidia-interview-the-sky-isnt-falling/

nVidia alone spends 10 Billion dollars over a consoles lifetime, Sony and Microsoft don't have that kind of R&D budget to dump into JUST graphics processing, that's not including AMD's R&D costs either.

And...

Blizzard have temporarily dropped the prices on digital purchases of StarCraft 2 made through Battle.net until the end of September, go grab a copy if you haven't got one! Blizzard are tight-asses, this kind of thing doesn't happen often!

I wonder is the next generation is the last generation of consoles.

While i know the internet is the future of gaming, the thought of not going into a gaming store looking for a hidden gem, overlooked game or great deal saddens me.

Won't happen.  There's one thing I learned while I was working at EB Games.  All those crappy games like Cabella's Deer Hunter sell to parents who don't know any better during Christmas time.

Anyone wanna play some Guild Wars?  I'm terribly under leveled and actually wanna play for a bit.

Maybe AMD wrote some directx wrapper.  I'd cry and buy an AMD GPU.  I've been wanting to switch over to Linux for good for a while.

Cant wait to see what they announce, more than likely whatever is needed for AMD drivers to work on games that run on Linux right?

They have a conference today, right?

*searches the web*

Nope, it will be tomorrow in Hawaii. The new cards, Crossfire, Eyefinity and Linux.

Steam Machines: Valve Announce Hardware

By Adam Smith on September 25th, 2013 at 6:01 pm.

Following the SteamOS announcement on Monday, time has been ticking away, as it has a tendency to do, and we now find ourselves on the farside of Valve’s second announcement. It’s a Steam-powered Box! A group of them, to be more precise. And, boy, am I glad it is, because I wrote this pre-jump section of the post an hour ago, having spent the day polishing my crystal ball. If, like Brad Pitt, you want to know what’s in the frickin’ box, join me below for a brief tour.

Hydro-Eclectic: Raindrop Looks Surreal, Dark, Pretty

By Craig Pearson on September 25th, 2013 at 5:00 pm.


I am afflicted with Stalkeritis, so when games pop-up with a vague hint in a Stalkery direction I get a bit excited and need to lie down until my blood pressure normalises. Raindrop looks to be sort of broadly thematically similar with that grim Ukrainian treasure: a survival game set in a post-collapse world following an “event”, where secrets are covered in rust and weeds, and you need to scavenge to survive. That was always what brought me into the world, and the rest was just detail. Amazing, gorgeous, terrifying detail, but nonetheless it was on top of what I wanted out of the game. Watch the teasers below and see if you get the same reaction I did. And if you do, you should probably see the doctor

IndieGameStand Launches Store As Alternative To Steam

By Nathan Grayson on September 25th, 2013 at 11:00 am.

IndieGameStand is done being just another flimsy roadside DealShack, only handing out whatever games it happens to have on-hand at the time. Now it’s hoping to make a giant leap into the big leagues, and it’s planning to blend up elements of Steam, GOG, and its own dev-friendly, pay-what-you-want heritage in order to do so. Steam, especially, is in its crosshairs, given that Greenlight – while improving – is still giving many smaller developers enough trouble that they can barely bite back tears as they lie to their emaciated, gently whimpering piggy banks. “Tomorrow,” they quaver. “I promise.” In an ideal world, IndieGameStand would like to change that.

Nvidia takes steps to reconcile with Linux developers

Last year Linus Torvalds, project coordinator at Linux, said that Nvidia was “the single worst company” the Linux kernal has ever worked with. In fact, he famously gave them the finger. But it looks as if relations are thawing, as Nvidia has pledged to improve the usability of its kit with open source drivers. Torvalds has changed his stance to “cautiously optimistic.”
