I know it's an advert, but sometimes adverts really are quite nice. ZOTAC now seems to be stepping up their SteamOS Steam Machine hype with a trailer for their NEN unit.
It's really, really great to see some more advertising come out for Steam Machines. The only problem with this trailer, is that it shows a bunch of featured games at one point that aren't on SteamOS. That's actually a bit misleading even with the disclaimer (why show them at all!), but hey, the more advertising SteamOS gets the better it will be for us.
Pretty decent internals for this box too, quite surprising really for such a small unit.
You can see their full official page on it here. It also bugs me a bit that their SteamOS section side picture shows games that aren't on SteamOS. It also makes me laugh that it states "*internet connection may be required.", may be required? More like is required folks. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: KeyrockAt the very least, they should throw a disclaimer up along the lines of "Not all games pictured are currently native to SteamOS and may require streaming from a Windows PC to play on the NEN Steam Machine".They did. I finally spotted it after being told about it and watching the video a second time, looking out for said disclaimer. Kind of difficult to glimpse as opposed to a fancy video with large images flying around.

At 0:38 it says "Not all games illustrated will be available".
Oh my it actually does, I didn't even see it the writing is pretty small.

Quoting: linuxgamerReally good trailer. That store page isn't perfect, but also the name sounds negative:
NEN: (for no)
NEIN: German
NEEN: Luxembourgish
NE: Esperanto + 7 european languages
In greece is Ne = Yes ^^

What ever happened to the Darksiders port? That would be kick ass to have for SteamOS machines.

Or the nice thought could be that come release day all the games that's shown will be available too :P

Quoting: PeciskQuoting: devlandThe video shows them playing witcher 3 on it.
Do they know something we don't?
Witcher 3 has always been shown whatever Valve has advertised SteamOS. It was also game listen in games coming to SteamOS during GDC. As there's no official information about port yet, there's little to speculate about that. However signs are there.
That's wrong, there was a definite answer from CDPR that no porting effort has started for TW3 half a year ago.
I like ZOTAC bringing a machine, I'm using one of their cards in my X51 because it's one of the few supporting the lesser power supply. The hardware certainly looks like completely locked, so probably we won't be able to replace anything in the box, but that's to be verified after release.
Certainly an option for me, I was always pleased with their products (though, the alienware skull in my living room would be just cool :D).

I didn't, I always look at those little notes, they usually tell more than anything else in the promotions ;-).

Or in my language (Catalan) NEN means child.
So probably this? Because it's an small compact pc/console?
