Should I start a thread about the top earning and reviewed games on Steam?

Why not try to release an "app" for it to Xbox?
And android and iOS for that matter...

New SteamVR hand controller prototype, stays in your hand when you drop stuff in VR
I really dont want to say anything or defend Oculus, since Oculus is a shitty company (and I own one) but THESE look almost exactly like Oculus Touch controllers.
I kinda see that Valves new VR controllers will now also work as Oculus Touch controllers.
OpenVR for Linux and OSX - Confirmed!
OpenVR platform independant - no Steam required
Design is completely different, this has a clasp system of sorts to keep the controller in your hand. Don't think there is any finger tracking.

You also dont need to hold the Touch controllers. They will stay in your hand.
IIRC you are going to lose control, since you rely on the ring around the controller. That's the different here

Where do you watch the conference stream?
Also did they announce which Samsung TVs or the upcoming 2017 models?
Chairmanchuck
Member
Oh. I understand. I still think they look really close to what those Touch controllers look like.
Any further infos about this? Only for future models or do current TVs will get an app or update for that? I just bought a new Samsung TV (2016 model) a few weeks ago.

When will Valve display the Sakura games during their dev days presentation?

During the "mistakes" part of the presentation.
Hmm actually, might have finger tracking. Apparently it does allow for a grasp gesture
Chairmanchuck

I can see how Valve did that to counter the "Oculus Touch DRM", if you might call it like that. I mean Oculus Touch could do the finger tracking and Vive controllers couldnt emulate it, so even if you use Revive, you couldnt play those games.
I guess with those new controllers you now can.
Yeah, but just thinking about it from a design perspective, I doubt it is reactionary, looks like the push to evolve lighthouse has lead to reduction of the "flower" and moved it to the clasp type thing in part. Also more curious as to what will be different with 2017 lighthouse.

They will announce the new revision of the Steam controller later, apparently. Announced new VR stuff, announced a rehaul of the client already etc.
As an Oculus owner I hope they actually copy that, so Vive owners can also play some of the Oculus Touch games like the RAD game or 4A Games game.

That's one good bundle. Been wanting to try The Park for a while now.

this is relevant for future TV purchases
Big news there appears to be that all controllers will go through the Steam API, essentially any game will that develops controller support will also do the same for the others including Steam Controller, so no more messy native support issues for the Steam Controller separate to everything else - if I understood correctly

Ok, so I'm about to finish Squarecells. I've finished Hexcells. Can anybody recommend other similar games on Steam? Not the 2 Hexcells sequels though; I will get around to them eventually, but I fancy something outside that series.
Oculus is trying to leapfrog lighthouse tech and get markerless inside-out tracking working. They have a prototype headset that supposedly worked pretty well. No tracked controllers were shown with it though.
Is Xrd R the 'last' version of that game?
I'm not huge on fighting games, but I'm very interested in this because the artstyle is amazing and I've heard the singleplayer campaign is essentially a full realtime CG anime season : p
Not really the same, but Paint it Back tickles the same part of the brain for me. Other than that, oldschool minesweeper?
Edit: Dammit Parsnip!
But yeah, listen to him.How Valve sees developers connecting with customers on Steam in future
Could really do with actually hearing the keynote. Ah well.
They'll be contacting us with Aquaman's fish telepathy?

You're just laying in bed preparing to finally go to sleep, when a sudden thought overtakes your head in Aquaman's voice...
"Buy Sakura Space, buy Sakura Space..."
Suddenly you find yourself online browsing the Steam Store...

It might be successful for developers (I do question that) but for the customer, it sucks. The more hands off Valve gets, the less useful the storefront gets.
I use to browse the store but I haven't done that in ages. This forum, and twitter keep me better informed.

If they follow BB's model (and their old model), we're getting at least 4-5 versions of Xrd

And then still develop an Oculus exclusive (mini)-game...

Keep posted since the storefront is getting a major update soon in a few weeks, and they say they're going to start laying out more tools for people to find games they're interested in. The one they revealed that will go live with this update is to make the store page less cluttered and to introduce games friends have been playing recently to suggested titles, but they say there's a lot more coming.
That was the point of the talk they had. It went over each transition of the Steam Store, explained why Valve step further out and what that means with Steam Store design, explained current problems, claimed "major changes to Steam in a couple of weeks". Part of the talk was also explaining the games discovered through that step back that likely wouldn't get through otherwise, but that discoverability is still an issue - hence revamp already mentioned a while back

You might be interested in Patterna, which is supposedly inspired by Hexcells. The UI is nowhere near as good, but there's a demo with quit a few levels for you to try and see if you like it:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/503860/
Not as similar, but Everyday Genius: SquareLogic is also quite nice:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/32150/
And similarly not as similar, but Splice is also pretty great, and has a lovely soundtrack:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/209790/
Usefulness is in the eye of the beholder - with curation, fantastic games wouldn't have seen a Steam release. *shrugs*
Year's end? Not a chance in hell. If the Jubei rumor is true, it will start after all content is done. Revelator technically just finished getting all of its content thanks to that figure mode thing. Even then, Revelator alone coming out this year is kinda iffy, imo.

New PC announcement from Chunsoft incoming?
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Is this a bad thing? Their store has the right tools to set up an ecosystem that in the end leaves you informed. Is it bad that you now go through twitter and GAF instead of store.steampowered.com as long as you still get games in the end?
pretty done
