It seems Valve have no plans to attend CES next year, but they did confirm they are planning a large presence at GDC. Looks like there will be a lot of Steam Machine news next year!
Here's to hoping they have settled down on a final revision for the Steam Controller which was holding things up, but it doesn't leave them long to really polish-up the SteamOS experience.
Personally, I doubt I will ever use SteamOS, as I have zero need for it, but I can see the attraction to it for others. I just badly want to get my hands on that Steam Controller. I really can't imagine what it's like to play on a game-pad that has touch-pads, it warps my mind.
Alienware seem to have properly jumped ship, and have launched what was going to be their Steam Machine as a Windows box that resembles a console. Although, we did already know they were doing this.
The news comes thanks to Techradar.
What are you hoping to see at GDC next year?
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
At GDC 2015... Official Steam Machines Launch:
What about...
"For every official Steam Machine sold, you will get a gift card that includes a free copie of or a pre-installed version of:"
One or many of the followings:
Half Life 3(?);
Left 4 Dead 3;
Gauntlet;
The Witcher 3;
Metro redux;
Project Cars.
I picked these games because of the timing of their releases or the mystery around their linux port and I wouldn't be surprised if it was related...
And because many console users don't know how to reinstall and/or hack a system they'll stick with SteamOS and its 800+ games and be happy with it.
I don't mean any offense in this comment, I understand that for some, tweaking a pc is not in their priority list.
