Steam Spring Sale it is then.
I think Ori was their best game of the year. Im not sure what you consider AAA, but it was a first party effort.
Big budget or not, Ori was a masterpiece.
So far the Acer XB270HU is still the monitor to beat. 1440p, IPS, G-Sync, and 27" panel. Hard to find G-sync in an IPS monitor.
I play my PC on my projector. It's no dinky monitor, son. You can hook your PC into anything with HDMI.
You can build a PC quite small these days. Perfect for the living room.
Gaming laptops aren't my thing. Big screen or nothing.
Maybe it's time to invest in a PC. Play all the games of yesteryear and tomorrow.
IGN already reviewed this HMD a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately the Demo model didnt nearly live up to the hype.

Try out CDKeys or Cheapshark if you are looking for deals outside of Steam. Mad Max was ridiculously cheap last time I looked.
BE WARNED THOUGH - some games dont download through Steam, so if you want cloud saves and such just be sure you read through the product description.
Well said. Very apt user name.
Take a break from playing Fists of Fury for some Fallout 4.
Is this satire? That app is one out of a billion. hardly a fair assessment of the catalogue.
That video was a terrific review of the Steambox, Steam controller, and SteamOS. Looks like Valve has a bit of work ahead of them to get it just right. That being said I hope they don't give up on the Steambox. It's a very interesting idea if they can get the price/performance in tune.
All fair points. Truth be told, I don't have a bias against windows or anything, but I want to see what an OS can do without the extra bloat creating drag.
The new Steam machines are supposed to launch with SteamOS, so there must be some support there. How much support really depends on what Valve can do to lure Devs over.
Very interesting times ahead.
I already have the dedicated Rig. I'm gonna give dual booting a go.
SteamOS is supposed to greatly help SteamVR due to its low overhead and such. I'm anxious to see all the features it brings. Steam wasn't built in a day, it got better over time. I'm hoping SteamOS matures the same way. The gaming library will grow over time, depending on adoption rates of course.
Excellent news to hear. More Publishers should start start to take notice of how strong the PC market really is and develop games accordingly.
I'm more curious to see SteamOS drop on the 14th. This could be a game changer.
EA Should start showing the PC crowd some love with their sport franchises.
i think they were thinking more in line with launch titles rather than workarounds. They didn't give a sniff regarding Virtual Desktop, and I know for a fact that will be my most used app.
The content is there, but the AAA blockbuster title hasn't quite surfaced yet. I think Luckys Tale will be the one to gain mainstream attention. By all rights it looks to be the next Mario 64 in terms of breakout tech.
The nba just broadcasted a game in VR as was the last debate on CNN. The content is actually farther ahead than the medium at this point.
Vr isn't the future, it's the goddam present.
Very true regarding 3d on a TV vs total immersion. Virtual Desktop gives you the best of both worlds: a virtual 3d screen. I've watched plenty of 3d content and it gives true 3d to the viewer. No cross image irritation at all. Finally True 3D.
A lot of headsets are CPU intensive to allow the headset to not only track where you are currently looking, but also predict where you will be looking and speed up or slow down accordingly. Think of it like your mouse, it doesnt actually do 1:1 or our mousepad would be 24" wide. The computer sees how fast or slow you are moving and moves the mouse accordingly.
Im hoping this kind of tech solves problems with bringing VR to current games.
There already is a Virtual Desktop for Oculus/Vive. It allows you to pick the aspect, screen size, and distance of the screen from the viewer. It even allows multiple screens to be viewed at once. You can even pick the environment the screen floats in: Nebula, Underwater, or Pitch Black.
This will be the App I use the most when VR drops.
