Support NeoGAF

Or Gabe Cube 2. The idea is fantastic and but they've shitted the bed with the execution. Not waiting a few weeks so they could present this to the press working with FSR 4.1 is a big mistake in itself. But think about 3 years from now, with RDNA 5 being a mature technology that has all the feature set of PS6/Helix and starts to be affordable at 3nm. Lets just assume everything else is the same, that the AI bubble hasn't burst ( ) and therefore the prices are roughly the same. Sightly worse than PS6 at 1.100€ with that form factor, all USB C, Bluetooth integration, etcetera, etcetera. The difference is that the generation is starting instead of ending and that you'll have day 1 support for a decent scaler which will probably make the differences against PS6/Helix invisible to the non enthusiast eye. What do you say?

I think I'd love that for my desk. A gaming dedicated Mac Mini sounds about right to me and I don't need it to be the be all end all since in PC I only play small titles (gems) or turn based stuff.

I ain't buying shit until prices regulate back to normal. If they never do, I never will.

I love my Steam Deck, but it still does not offer the slick seamless experience of the PS5 or any other console for that matter. Suspending games fails more often than I would like. Some games do not launch and you are just stuck until you close with B button and relaunch. Background sleep mode downloads aren't a thing and allowing background downloads while gaming can tank performance in some games. Until these niggles are addressed, I am not investing more than 500 GBP in Steam hardware.

Strangely, given this ridiculous price, we already have better offers by minisfoum and others HTPC builders. That being said, SteamOS needs to be more mature and officialiy compatiblie with more machines to be a true differential, something that, imho, Valve should focus, instead of try to create a default machine for it...

Will there be a Steam Machine 2?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

No cause my current PC is already next gen. And It'll still be a big no even if I was still on my pervious old PC cause price are crappy with that 8gb vram which is the same amount as my previous old pc.

I'm waiting for Steam Machine 2 Pro

 

[rodrigolfp]

I don't think so. What would be the advantage(s) over a desktop I build myself??

Technically this is already a Steam Machine 2.

PS5 offers handheld gaming and PC games??

Only Console hardware I would ever get is Helix Flagship Magnus Alpha Trion 2, PS6 Canis TV Box, Switch 2. I am OK with various streaming only boxes as well.

The only correct answer. All of my gear is well looked after and more than capable of playing the types of games I'm usually interested in (couldn't give two shits about 99% of "AAA")

I'm settling in for a long winter.

You would be ready to stop playing new games?

 

[Laptop1991]

No, i would stick with my desktop PC, they won't be making it anyway as it would push the cost up even more.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Lol you know it's bad when we're discussing the next model before it's even come out.
