Valve / Steam / Steam Machines, General Discussion v2.0- "Is Steam Down again?" - Games

Oh right, it's pronounced V(eye)v because it's part of HTC's "re" line, as in "revive" just like their weird pipe camera

[QUOTE=TheDrunkenOne;47238557]veeev sounds dumb honestly[/QUOTE] Isn't it pronounced "Vaive"? If so, then look at the "i" as an "l" and it spells Valve.

It's part of their "R E" line, so when you spell the full name for the product it's RE Vive. Just a silly hint about VR.

vive as in revive

[QUOTE=jazzpunk;47244709]SteamDB expanded their post[/QUOTE] Gamespot actually got kinda mad at us for linking to their stream even though we mentioned we weren't sure if any Valve stuff was being shown as they hadn't posted a schedule. Oops. :v:

[QUOTE=davidaap;47245409]Why are they mad about a website linking too their stream :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Because their indie sit-down program's chat was full of people going "༼ つ ._. ༽つ Give volvo" I'm not even joking, I apologized to their community managers who seemed very confused and angry and got rid of the stream link. :v:

I'm really suspicious about VR in general, but with the Occulus and John Carmack working towards it [I]as well[/I] as Valve & HTC, I might be being swayed away from the opinion of it being a gimmick. [QUOTE=KOS-MOS;47245924][url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/351900/[/url] oh boy a new game on steam! :v:[/QUOTE] See the real sad thing is that it's possible to have a serious and heartbreaking experience about dealing with the stigmatized, isolating and even terrifying experience of having such serious responsibility thrust upon you at a young age, and presenting this in tasteful way could let people who cannot experience such a thing understand what it is like to be pregnant as a teenager. But this is just [I]lazy[/I]: stock photos with text plastered on it, and just from the previews gives a vibe that someone young and edgy is trying to get a reaction out of someone to boost their ever inflated ego, which in turn marginalizes what can often be dismissed by a culture that- something something oh shit a T-rex.

So I'm guessing the base station for the Vive just has a bunch of IR lasers that it shoots on the walls and the light sensors on the headset then detect them to calculate the position in the room. Sort of how Valve's prototype from last year used QR code stickers with cameras on the headset. The IR lasers provide much less setup and can be detected with much cheaper light sensors instead of cameras.

[quote]Steam VR Demo at GDC (SteamVR@valvesoftware.com) Hello, Thank you for requesting a VR Demo at GDC. Unfortunately we are fully booked and are unable to accommodate your request. We will be doing more showings of the demo at future events, we hope to be able to give you a demo then. Cheers[/quote]

[QUOTE=hogofwar;47252999][URL]https://steamdb.info/blog/source2-announcement/[/URL] Is steam link the chromecast of gaming?[/QUOTE] That's a terrible comparison. NVidia shield is what you mean. [QUOTE=bitches;47253006]Chromecast is awful. It doesn't actually stream the video, though there is a very crippled feature that offers it and less than half works (no audio, shit speed). Chromecast just connects the TV to web content over wifi. You use your android phone/tablet as a remote controller basically.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=bitches;47253030]That's a terrible comparison. NVidia shield is what you mean.[/QUOTE] Well I guess even closer would be OnLive's Console. Just using your own PC to stream the content. [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/353380/[/url]

Source 2 has been confirmed for a while now. Imo, it's nothing new...

It hadnt been [I]properly announced[/I] yet.

[QUOTE=Knoxed;47254684]Source 2 has been confirmed for a while now. Imo, it's nothing new...[/QUOTE] You could say the same about l4d3 and hl3.

[QUOTE=Knoxed;47254684]Source 2 has been confirmed for a while now. Imo, it's nothing new...[/QUOTE] Free for developers is something that was probably implied, but It's something new

Source 2 was confirmed and shipped(DOTA workshop tools) last year. Now they just announced it offically.
