Valve Steam Controller Hands-On Preview- PCMag

The Valve Steam Controller brings some overdue PC gaming innovations to the familiar console gamepad.

DragonDDark3869d ago

The problem with controllers is that you wont get anything from watching other people using it and praising/downplay it.
You have to use it yourself.

Volkama3869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

True, but others sharing their experiences is worth more than looking at pictures.

My biggest skepticism of the trackpad was that it's too small for 1 for 1 mapping like a proper mouse, so it'd need to try and replicate a stick and that'd defeat the point. Reading all the feedback so far, it sounds like you have to choose whether you are going for a small mouse or a weird stick and neither is quite right.

Mine is due to arrive today, so I'll find out soon enough. Though the Uncharted collection also arrived today, so maybe I wont :|

Volkama3869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

Oh man it arrived, and it is frickin awful. I'm actually shocked by how bad it is.

The buttons on the underside are nice, but that's about the only thing I like about it from my very limited play time. The haptic feedback on the touch pads makes a horrible noise, I wouldn't ever suggest using this pad without headphones :|

Like i said, You wont get anything from seeing other people using it. :|
Oh well. Enjoy the UCC :]

I would buy a machine that is set up to how Kirito and Asuna play games in Sword Art Online

Inverno1940d ago

The world of Sword Art is something I don't think any developer right now will ever bother attempting to create. I've seen .Hack too and the games both those anime show is something I wish someone would make. A real life simulation presented in a medieval fantasy-esque aesthetic would make me quit real life in a heart beat lol

Software might be really buggy though...

Profchaos1940d ago

Maybe and maybe the flying car bug was really just a prediction of flying car software failure.

ScootaKuH1940d ago

If reality moves at 3 frames per second that is 😉

Kabaneri1940d ago

That sounds cool but imagine the social consequences some people would get really attached to that alternate reality.

Lore1940d ago

Dwight in Second Life comes to mind

Extermin8or3_1940d ago

Automate farming systems abd have computers feed us through tubes and live theblife you want.... lol wait what if the Matrix Is real? :?o :p

AFKghost1940d ago

I really dont give a flying monkey doodoo about all this futurism bs. Its really just sad, old timers on their way out desperately trying to stay relevant when they should have been making good games for the last 20 years.
