The Verge - Valve, the company behind Steam, is trying to revolutionize the idea of a video game console by combining its preeminent video game distribution platform with the power of Linux PCs. For months, the company's been silent about the subject, but it sounds like we could get some new details very soon. Today, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell called Linux "the future of gaming" at a keynote at LinuxCon 2013, and revealed that the company plans to offer more information about "the hardware opportunities we see for bringing Linux into the living room" as early as next week.
Featuring some of the highest profile graphics and processing in any “Steam Box” PC TV console, ZOTAC has a new item set to hit the market and it’s a beauty.
Below all of the pictures:
"Steam has revealed a price point and release window of $999.99 in November 2015."
I'm interested in the price, but it looks like we won't find that out for a while.
That is true price could be a deal breaker according to Valve most of these machines will run close to the next gen console prices. Do they mean starting or current that has yet to be seen.
Hopefully they do something to really wow the people because looking at how the Alienware console did...its gonna be a tough race to get into.
GamersNexus: "Just over a year ago, Valve pushed to capitalize on their Steam-powered success. They announced the Steam OS, based on Linux and meant to be an all-in one media machine for the living room."
Shame STEAM OS is never going to take off other than an extender. DX12 has seen to that.. Under linux your hardware is going to be restricted unlike in windows once DX12 rolls around.
The Web Graffiti: "Valve is preparing to bring some momentum back to PC games come 2014. Recently, the company announced SteamOS, which is primarily a Linux based operating system designed to bring PC gaming into the living room. Furthermore, Valve announced its Steam Machines initiative, which is the next step for the company to make PC gaming more like Console gaming."
Bring it on.
