If Steam Link is around £35 i'll be really happy.

Valve Officially announces Source 2. (+ Steam Link + Steam Lighthouse)
- Thread starter Salsa
- Start date
Considering they intend to author their own games on the engine, I'd be fairly sure Valve's new engine is capable enough. Remember Source 1 releasing with Counter Strike: Source first? Pretty much the same thing is about to happen with their current games
Excellent.

Steam Link sounds like a great inexpensive option for those who are interested in IHS but don't have a streaming PC in their remote room.
I have no need for Steam Link since I already set up an Intel NUC about a year ago for in-home streaming (and I also have Kodi on it).

Oh man. Steam Link looks great. I'll definitely pick one up when I build a new PC next year.

Steam Link looks amazing. Can't wait to get it. Pre-ordering that.

Now 3 solid free engines for devs to work with. I hope source 2 at least matches unreal graphics, surpassing cryengine 3 would be the best. Can't wait until we get fantastic looking games.

just checked in at the valve arg irc chat and there are people. Last few times I've gone there over the years, it's been empty. I'd say if there's going to be another amazing valve arg, it'll show up in the next few months. hl3, portal 3, something completely new, whatever, I'd bet Valve won't just drop it out of the clear blue sky.

No... I remember it launching with Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, actually.

It's confirmed to stream everything a PC does right? So I can even stream Origin and GOG titles if launched through Steam?

Idk but I do it an unofficial way. (Open chrome through steam)
Yes you can do this. I also stream xbmc.

Plot twist: HL3 to be developed on UE4.
There's a built in material editor now, goodbye notepad!
Very tempted to say yes to these considering the addition of Music and Videos to Steam and the recent app type inclusions suggesting the ability to purchase new media. Hoping to see streaming services too, then it will assuredly be my smart TV companion

Not too excited. Valve are kings of coming up with great initiatives and failing in the execution. See: SteamOS, Steam Controller.

It should be able to. Origin also has the ability to shut down once you close a game, so that should be perfect.
You can already do that. This is literally a small pc that uses in home streaming to stream from your pc. There's nothing special about it other than being extremely small.
I really want to see what under the radar features they're working on for steam itself. Would be great if media apps were coming along nicely. I think that's the last big feature that needs to be added to make SteamOS a solid system.

it uses in home streaming
its 50 bucks and has enough umph to get your streaming going thats all its for
if you want another whole computer solely for that its a little overkill and a lot more expensive
i mean i guess it could compete with the range of tablets youre talking about but i guess id like to see if it could actually do a good job at that for how cheap they are
things that arent really out in any final form?
cool
You can add non-Steam games to your Steam library and stream them via IHS. Works just as well as it would if it were a Steam game, no need for any kind of workaround.

Because they're don't have 4 games to announce like Bethesda does. And I doubt Valve would want to show Steam Consoles on stage (maybe on expo floor). They didn't make a conference for Portal 2, they went up to Sony. Although I doubt they'd do that now.
Huh? I feel lost.

Battlefield 4 and Hardline don't work through streaming without my way

Bill of materials, the cost of all the components minus assembly and such.

each time Valve does anything a bunch of people will show up on a Valve ARG irc channel to analyze everything in hopes of something
Yeah you haven't seen what has happened to them yet

So is Steam Link basically a Steam compatible Google Chrome device? If so, I'm very sold.
I know all of the other stuff is more "revolutionary" and important, but for my day to day life, I'm more interested in this device.

Nice. The Steam Link was exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely get it when it comes out.

Any news on the steam controller?
software that allows to track your movement when you use Valve's + HTC VR device
basically you can walk around in a room opposed to using a controller, or track other inputs

So is Source 2 free (without an asterisk)?
Like, no revenue share or anything, just free?
Pretty amazing if that's the case.
