Lots Of Big Games Confirmed For SteamOS, Torchlight II Now Out, Payday 2, Mordor And More Coming Too
5 March 2015 at 10:02 am UTC

After reviewing the games, ... only four games I don't own already and want:
TW III, Shadow of Mordor, Grid, Cities Skylines. Eventually Batman too, but I'm still undecided about that one.

Zotac Announces A Proper Steam Machine With SteamOS (Updated)

Quoting: KeyrockJudging by the name, this is likely going to be packing a GTX 970. That's a good choice. Lawsuit aside, the 970 is a damn good GPU. I'll be curious what the price tag will look like.

I was thinking of getting a 970 (EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC 1972) for my X51 gaming rick (people report they could upgrade to it).

Source Engine 2, Steam Link And More Announced At GDC
4 March 2015 at 12:25 pm UTC

Ha, I was thinking already which mini-box I'd buy to uplink my gaming rig to my TV (I still prefer a lot of games in front of my PC).
Steam Link seems to be what I really wanted, and 50USD sounds ... acceptable. 100mbit seemed "fast enough" last time I tried.

Vulkan Really Is The Official Name Of The Next Generation OpenGL Initiative

Quoting: jamesc359I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if they really did support hardware back that far.

To be fair, that's just the requirements for Vulkan. I don't think anyone expects the hardware manufacturers to actually go back very far in their hardware lineup with actual driver support.
Mesa might, but they're not a hardware manufacturer.

NVidia very likely will. They're internally doing a similar thing in their drivers anyway.

Unreal Engine Is Now Free, Including Access To The Source Code

What the heck... now I really have to take a closer look at UE4 again. Hopefully the Editor Port is really coming too.

And with that, UE4 will be a bet by a lot of indie developers. 5% in the end, and not having to come up with financing for engine licenses during the development is a huge pro.

It's still 5 % on gross revenue, so 30 % Steam (or any distributor) will take, 5 % for the engine, so you'll only see 65 % of the revenue.
