Quoting: TheRiddickI thought they had a full wood finish one coming? guess that was too expensive to do.
I do hope this console does well, would really love to see Atari make a comeback, thought I doubt this is going to be the killer app that does it for them.

EDIT: Apparently it will have a wood finish, interesting, wonder how that will be done.

They don't mean the whole thing will look like a block of wood. It's just the front panel (you can see it in the article pic).

I am so seriously excited for this.

Quoting: DragunovWill this thing hurry up and die already, this was a failure from the start. Didn't they learn anything from steam machines?, and at $389 I don't really think it is worth it. This is like a niche within a niche, how do they expect to make any money off of this?

I'll be buying one on launch. Looks like the perfect little box for me.

Quoting: tuubiPlenty of TV sets with no DP inputs, but all of them have HDMI. I doubt this is such a no-go for most of their target audience.

That's due to HDMI cartel, not the reason to skip proper DP on any computer.

HDMI cartel....

Quoting: Luke_NukemWhy do you need the tool for Dirt Rally 2.0? I've got the same wheel, and was thinking about grabbing the game.

Like @Werner already said, proton and FFB is a nasty business. Wheel itself works but you need it for FFB and without FFB its no point playing those games.

This is the launch option i have to use to get FFB working in this game.

It is meant to be fixed in this version though. I've tried a handful of games so far and FFB is good.

Absolutely love those 8Bitdo controllers. Good to see the updates.

Quoting: XpanderForceFeedBack fix! Finally. The main problem with proton has always been the FFB support. I guess i still need my FFBtools from berarma for Dirt Rally 2.0 to work with my G920, but yeah 4.11 version broke FFB for Project Cars 2 completely and it worked somewhat with 4.2-9.

If you enable high-quality pause mode then press the "pause" button, it does a high-quality render of whatever the current scene on screen is. It looks incredible!

I can't wait! Can clearly see some inspiration from Quake and Doom in there too.

I desperately need a mod that adds plane sounds to the bird. Preferably vocalised.
