I wonder if you could use this thing for vr. It meets the minimum specs for HL:Alyx, strap this onto your belt and plug in an oculus quest and you might have something

Not that I put much stock into interviews, but Gabe said the idea was not so much to be profitable on the device as it was to create/popularize the device category, with the hope that other manufacturers get into the game. PC gaming is good for Valve, so if they can get people to look for and buy a device like this instead of a switch or phone games they come out a winner in the long term.

That is absolutely a lie, because there are several manufacturers already producing pc-based handhelds and this is going to destroy all of them

PC games are real big now

A sampling of 2020/2021 AAAs

Cyberpunk - 70GB
Horizon ZD - 67GB
AC Valhalla - 50GB
BLOPS Cold War - 82GB
Watch Dogs Legion - 45GB
Death Stranding - 55GB
Doom Eternal - 43GB
Hitman 3 - 60GB
Red Dead 2 - 100GB

Hell GTA5 is ancient but even that's 65GB

You should basically assume that even fitting a single modern AAA game on the 64GB probably isn't happening, unless you resort to running it off the SD card

I assume SteamOS is leaner than Windows but that's going to take a chunk out before you even start

Counterpoint: most of those games are bad

convincing people that $300 and 25 sq ft of dedicated space for VR is not a horrible insurmountable obstacle for a demographic of people that read a gaming forum thread about totally superfluous devices that cost hundreds of dollars

in the specific context of talking about using said superfluous device to power said VR headset to maybe provide a better framerate, based on hypothetical performance numbers specc'd from various press releases

lol I forgot that it was my post that started all this

I don't even have a vr headset

Valve choosing Linux isn't just a 'vendetta' against Microsoft. It's a good business decision, because they won't need to pay for a Windows license on every steam deck they sell.

Windows licenses are free to manufacturers if the screen is smaller than nine inches

Sony shot themselves on the foot by not iterating on the dock they made for the psp go

The vita was supposed to have one, but the go's dock didn't sell well (because the go sold like poo poo (because it was directly competing with three other Sony handhelds)) so they never put it into production

When the switch was announced all they would have had to do was start including the dock and controller with new vitas, except the new vita didn't have the dock port anymore since nothing was using it

would it actually be possible to set up doom to play custom wads on this or is that beyond the scope

You can do that on anything. A hacked 3ds, an old phone, an Amazon fire stick, you probably have three or four devices lying around that can play doom wads

The Playstation buttons only have two letters on them which makes it even more confusing

Playstation buttons should be referred to using the number of lines on the icon: 1, 2, 3 and 4

This also proves that the correct control scheme is rightmost button to confirm and the bottom one to cancel

Yeah a lot of it depends on settings I'm sure. Control is a cool game and visually a feast, not sure if it is a good steam deck kinda game anyhow. You really should view it in a cinematic setting, and less on a tiny screen IMO

I always give rumble a chance. Most games prove themselves unworthy and I turn it off after the first ten minutes, but a few use it right. Hollow Knight on the switch is really good, when you're sliding down a wall it actually feels like the controller is rubbing against a rough surface
