#148790 Valve Steambox Tech and speculation thread!

Posted by Mitch on 17 December 2012 - 01:04 AM

simply because how would they fit it all in with the heat to consider have you seen the size of a cpu and the size of the sync and fan needed



As for heat of these desktop GPU's yes they get hot, but they are sort of designed for such heats and usually use a low fan speed by default




Well It will produce quite a bit of heat... at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit as that is the required temperature to create Steam

my


you say you cant beat pc games lol, they still gunna cross port from the 360, and they arnt going to have zelda lol,  and i dont think the spec is going to be as high as you think, simply because how would they fit it all in with the heat to consider have you seen the size of a cpu and the size of the sync and fan needed, have you seen the size of a graphics card, if they release a console sized box it will be a cheap pc for gamers, wont compete with proper rigs

yea as confirmed, its just a cheap living room pc that hooks up to ur tv that will most likely run windows 7, it will compete with the ps4 etc, which isnt hard to be honest lol, other companys are going to do the same thing not just valve, all they are is small form factor PC's, with the power to run decent games, they are just trying to sell them by saying you have more possibilities, you will not be able to upgrade as they will be custom made, most of us with gaming rigs can do all this now, i think they are just trying to get some of the console market, so if theses are just pc games the steambox will be playing on the tv with the special valve controller, i wonder if they will be valvebox only servers for online games, otherswize players will get decimated by the people on highend mouse and keyboards

No, you CAN'T beat PC exclusives, there's so many always releasing and so many top quality ones, why do you think that's funny? Zelda hasn't got crap on most of them, anyway. And I wasn't expecting it to be so powerful either.

It needs to have mouse and keyboard support, do you guys really think they're going to leave that out when we have MMO's and RTS games on Steam? Put it this way, if this thing is good and cheap enough, I will consider not even thinking about the next PS4/720 because this thing will blow it the hell out of the water, you can't beat PC games, especially when their console counterparts are running at lower than the lowest PC settings at less than half the frames, I remember everyone here actually getting mad at me because I said that the Wii U won't have many games at launch running at 1080p and 60fps.

What a terrible, pointless thread.

I really don't know why people have to start threads to justify why they have sold a console soon after they bought it. They obviously didn't do their research and bought the system blindly. As for their being no AAA games that's just absolute rubbish as there are several of them. If there aren't any games you like that's a different thing altogether and again doing research would have helped with that. As for launch games being delayed the only one to my knowledge has been Rayman Legends.

As for Pikmin 3 I believe it was a launch window game and its cynical to think that the reason or the only reason it's been pushed back is for marketing reasons. Looking at recent reports its come a long way since E3 and no doubt it needs and will need even more polish. Not mention its not the first time a game has been pushed back or delayed. As for the price of the system coming down in the next two years people who think that need to wake up and smell the coffee as it isn't going to happen.

Nintendo have already said that when a Wii U owner buys one game they break even. They are selling the console at a loss already and aren't going to reduce the price anytime soon. Lastly I and I think a lot of people bought the Wii U and buy new consoles in general for the long term and know that there will be more quality top games coming out. There are already quality games on the console anyway.


#153862 Wii U - A massive disappointment?

Posted by Desert Punk on 30 December 2012 - 04:31 AM

There were a lot of forum comments going about prior to launch at how the wii u was a next gen system and super powerful and would compete with the next playstation and xbox but this was never going to happen. Unfortunately because of these fanboy posts many people's expectations were un-realistically raised and there are numerous posts all over the internet with people disappointed with what the wii u  is offering.

You buy a Nintendo console if you love Nintendo games and the type of games than Nintendo consoles get mainly. The wii u is a brilliant package overall and I'm really enjoying mine. The gamepad introduces a new direction in gaming just like the wii motion controller did.

If you want a powerful gaming system don't bother with a console get a PC which offers a lot more tech for your buck.

I own a PS3 and 360 as well as wii u and can see the appeal of all 3. Remember the wii launched with a spec inferior to the original xbox but still went on to massive success because it never competed in the same area and appealed to different consumers.

So Zinix might I ask you how the earth was created and where all of us incredibly complex people came from?

*anticipating big bang as answer*


So to save a post I shall ask, well how did the big bang happen?

*anticipating something along the lines of 2 atoms collided and caused a massive explosion (or something very similar)*

So I shall ask well where did those atoms (or whatever collided) come from

*your answer here*

Well where did those things come from?

....and we will continue this loop of q&a until you run out of answers and either say "well im not sure" or you would get mad and say "your just a closed minded person who doesnt accept it for what it is"

and then when it gets to that point in the loop of questions and you finally cant answer them anymore then the only logical answer is that some God somewhere that created all this
