Thoughts after a few hours of playing with Steam Machine.
- 3D performance is just…meh.
- The system recommends to default to 1080p - am I going back to PS4 days?
- Some games take a looooooong time to boot, what is it doing?
- System UI is easy to use.
- Being able to boot up by pressing a button on Steam Controller is a killer feature.
- Changeable face plate is nice.
- Random boot up videos is a nice touch :)
- Sticks on Steam Controller is a bit looser than my taste.
- Having touch pad is nice, but it is very “touchy” and hard to use.
- It allows me to play Steam games on my living room TV, which is a reason enough to keep it.
- But the price was very unfriendly. Hard to recommend to people unless for research.
@Lbabinz Considering how all studios have been managed over the past few years, he should be the one getting fired,
No one should lose their job due to his mismanagement.
The fact that Microsoft acquired studios like Ninja Theory, Double Fine and Compulsion on the notion that they didn’t need to make blockbuster hits, wanted them to support Game Pass… and now new leadership is shuttering them for following that mandate… makes me really angry.
Sony E3 2016 is still probably the best gaming event of all time:
- God of War
- Days Gone
- The Last Guardian
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Detroit: Become Human
- Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
- Batman: Arkham VR
- Death Stranding
- Spider-Man
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
- Skylanders Imaginators
- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
- Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Gran Turismo Sport
Just insane
Obviously the response was overwhelming positive…
…but I also spent a huge chunk of that next week with Bryan trying to calm people down internally who were stressed about the visceral reaction to the White Spider icon and wanted to change it to black
'Hello everyone, I'm back"
10 years later and the crowd popping off for Hideo Kojima during the Death Stranding reveal is still one of my favorite E3 moments of all time
