This sounds dumb since any engine can be made to look a certain way, but I've always loved the way source games 'look'. I can't describe it, but even though HL2 and CS:GO have totally different art styles you can tell it's Source. Even though it can't do vegetation worth a damn (HL2 spindle tress *barf*). Hope they fixed that.

The engine is like 10 years old

Steam Link sounds awesome. Set top box to stream Steam games. Definitely buying this.

Everyone realizes that steam link is 8 months out minimum and that the pictures of the device are literally just screencaps of a render, right? Don't get me wrong, I like valve, but the hype around just a 3d model of a product months away seems overblown.

Source 2 sounds great.

Im sure Valve will also then release the Steam Theater. Join your community friends in a VR movie-going experience with the new Steam movies store and watch movies currently in theaters at home!!!!!
 
Oh shit guys.

Valve and Nvidia are buddy buddy and have worked very closely together on SteamOS and Steam Machines, which means it's more than likely a Tegra chip that is powering the Steam Link. Nvidia is rumoured to be announcing tonight that they are working with TV makers to integrate Tegra chips into TVs to run Android games and whatnot. If this is the case, there's nothing stopping Steam Link-enabled SmartTVs.

That would be really fucking cool. However let's just wait this out. I'm guessing Valve will be trickling info out in the run up to Novemeber

Less than 20 minutes to confirm that.

Yes, but are any of those things TRULY important in the grand scheme of things?
