Valve Announcement Trifecta

<< < (9/9)

ackblom12:
Nope, nothing said about price yet. The Titan card I assume is just them seeing what they can cram in the box for testing purposes, considering it's about $1,000 USD by itself.

Masterpiece:
A demo of the controller in action:

Not a valid youtube URL

LTK:
I'd kill someone to get my hands on one of those right now.

Man, why does the Valve hardware beta require a controller to become eligible? I don't have a controller, and the only reason for that is that no one has ever made one like that before!

How do we call that thing anyway? A steampad? That sounds boring.

Ermargerd, I wanted to share some Valve-stuff, but didn't want to make a thread about, it, so I grabbed a random thread to necro.


Aaaanyways, so if you've logged on to your Steam frontpage recently, you've seen "Introducing Steam Tags" in a big banner. The idea is that users can tag games, and you can then use those tags to search for games. Since video game genres these days are largely bullshit, and searching for games based on that is futile at best, this is a great idea, right?

Have anybody working at Valve ever been on the internet?

There was some problems. It seems like the "Jews did 9/11" and "holocaust never happened" taggs has been taken down, so that's good, but Rome 2 is still tagged with "Rome Wasn't Patched In A Day", which is pretty fucking funny. I'm pretty sure they'll want to do something about the tags "bad" and "garbage" eventually - while they might be accurate, that's not something the game dev or Steam wants on a game.

The "Walking simulator" tag has been given to Dear Esther and Gone Home, who's also sitting on the "Not A Game" tag. TF2 is tagged with "hats" AND "hat simulator". 39 games are "Better Than League". 23 games are tagged with ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ, which is now my favourite smiley of all time. I can see some potential in this system, but it'll need a tad bit more moderation than what it has right now, I think.

Derail: I don't get the 'not a game' thing about Gone Home. It's an exploration game.
