      Yep, can't wait for it too, however its performance will probably suck a lot for most upcoming games soon I mean the actual true Next Gen upcoming games with UE5 and any other updated game engine for true next gen.
      But since this is crazy hyped I'm sure we will always have crazy modders doing crazy optimisations to keep playing all games that it can't in the future like the much smaller GPD win small community modify stuff to keep games running even though at some point they will eventually nno longer look right ☹️

    This is game changing for lite gamers that want to test the PC gaming waters. For $400 you can get a machine more powerful than ps4 hardware, and its portable. For a little more, you can get a large micro SD card and get gaming.
    Best of all, unlike EVERY other portable today, it does not throttle power when in handheld. Laptops and even the switch run slower if not plugged into power/docked. This does not. Good graphics all the time.

    • @TheTaxxor
      @TheTaxxor 2 года назад +5

      Yes it doesn't throttle power when in handheld, but you could also say it like they throttled it from the start so it doesn't use the additional power when docked. The APU would probably be fine running 20-25W when docked if they designed the cooling that way, making it possible to run 1080p in docked mode with the same performance as 800p in handheld.
      I'm curious if you could just use Ryzen Controller on the Steam Deck to change the TDP above 15W manually.

    This is a great introduction video for someone who's not heard of the Deck before. One inaccuracy you really ought to change is that the top tier model doesn't have an anti-scratch screen (though screen protectors are already available.) It's a special anti-glare micro-etched screen like the one offered on Apple's Pro Display XDR. Whilst it'll make it look even better for fans of matte displays, it won't make the display of the top model more scratch resistant (if anything, it'll be a little more delicate than the other two models). That is unless you're making an announcement that it also has extra scratch resistance that Valve hasn't previously discussed.

    The people who liked Steam controllers and Steam Links still have them and use them, so the fact that they might have been a financial flop for Valve doesn't hurt users. The same will be true of the Steam Deck. Years after Valve stops supporting it, gamers will still be hacking them, running emulators and doing whatever they want with them. That's the benefit of an open system.

      depends on what you're playing, for racing games it isn't comparable or even usable, but for shooting games it's great if you want something better than thumb sticks but more convenient than a keyboard/mouse. Problem is, most PC gamers are at a desk, so this only really caters to the small percent of an already small group of people (PC Vs Console) that play their PC from their couch, or in their bed. A lot of these people use lapboards or whatever they're called too so they can still use keyboard/mouse. Or they'll just relax, care less about performance, and use a normal controller.
      For deck it's perfect though since it is a convenience device due to its form factor. Games that require enhanced accuracy will benefit from the touch pads and games that require a certain feel that touch pads can't offer will benefit from the analog sticks. Win Win

    The Valve Index was my first Valve product and it's mind blowing how far ahead it was and how with so many headsets after it , it's still considered the all around best for most VR users. I really don't understand the problem with steam controller and Steam Link, just because valve stopped making them doesn't make them a failure. Steam Link went on to work on everything from mobile phones to smart TV's (no need for a box). Steam Controller lives on in the very heart of most controller supported games on Steam allowing you to remap controls in extremely versatile and inventive ways. The Playstation 4 controller is more popular and affordable and almost all the features of the Steam Controller, that's made possible because of the Steam Controller.

    I have Switch Lite, it's good but not great. It only gets a pass only because of how cheap it is, Steam Deck is something I've been waiting for since I was a child. A PC handheld Device. It's the switch lite but 1000x better, In everyway right out the box. And with this BS shortages I'm not risking losing out on this. Also it will show steam to make a deck 2 in the future. Support this. It's worth the hype, imo.

      Steam supports all those controllers. The only problem (at the moment) are a few games that don't have an option to choose a controller, because the Steam Deck is the first controller, that's "plugged in" - you can plug in a Xbox controller for example, but that's recognized as an additional controller for player 2.

    I preordered the $649 version. Not for the storage but for the etched glass. I plan on trying either a 1tb 2230 nvme from a Microsoft surface pro (have one laying around don't ask) and possibly looing into making a 3D printed back or modding the existing back to get a even higher capacity nvme working. I do plan on dual booting Steam OS and Windows 10 and that's my primary reason for wanting more storage. Also I'm sure I'm not the only person thinking of a case mod to add a 2280 and even making room to add a heatsink. Although that would add a massive bump to the back and add a lot more heat internally. You could also make it semi-external so it could be more or less passively cooled as long as you didn't block the airflow since the intake ducts are right over the stock nvme. Also the external nvme would actually remove heat from inside the case and give the VRM, ram and APU fresh cool air. Hmm so many idea's. Just hope I preordered early enough to get mine in the first batch!

    I don't get people saying the steam link and controller were flops - I still use both all the time and they are fantastic. Shame they stopped making them, but my steam link still gets updates these days, and steam controller works flawlessly with everything on steam.

    • @mickomoo
      @mickomoo 2 года назад +1

      Technically they’re flops from a units perspective. They didn’t move a lot of them. But Valve is a company that is flushed with cash and has the openness to experiment. Most of the features introduced through its hardware end up making the Steam platform better. Remote play is the software successor to the Steam link. Controller profiles are the software successor to the Steam controller. And it’s very likely that a lot of the lessons learned from the Steam Machines went into making the Steam Deck.
