If some of you are playing this on the Deck, I´d love to hear about your experiences.

I just played the first game and Miles Morales <beat>back to back on my deck</beat> and throughly enjoyed them.

Would be great to follow up with this one.

GPD WIN 4 handheld plans to support Valve's SteamOS in 2025 (updated: nope)
8 Jan 2025 at 7:35 pm UTC Likes: 1

My guess is, they heard Valve will support other devices and this is a statement of "maybe we´ll look into probably getting it to run properly, but for now lets just dip our toes in the hype-river"

GPDs communications always seem rather weird an incohesive, sometimes needlessly defensive or even agressive. Might have to do with the language barrier, but I guess thats only one part of the problem.

That said, I generally do like their products and the original GPD Win will always have a special place in my heart as my first handheld gaming PC.

Quoting: felipecrsIt may be the best thing ever, but for now it's also the ugliest thing ever.

Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller

What makes me truly curious on the Steam Controller 2 is just — why?
For me its more like "why so late?". This really should´ve accompanied the Steam Deck launch. But I´d take it. Damn will I take it. Another Day 1 preorder for sure!

I cant say I ever loved the first Steam Controller, but I did love a lot ABOUT it. I´m so glad Valve kept and improved on its concepts for the Deck.

AYANEO 3 now officially announced with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and HDR OLED

Quoting: CyborgZetaWhy do these Steam Deck competitors never have trackpads? How do you expect me to navigate a desktop, and Windows at that, without at least one trackpad?
Yeah, thats my #1 proplem with this and most other devices. Even apart from desktop-use and mouse-based-gaming, thanks to the excellent steam-input, the trackpads have endless ways to be utilized. Its hard to imagine going back to anything without em and its also the main reason I really need Valve to make a new Steam Controller.

HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December

Looks alright, but its time for Valve to release the Deck-controls as a standalone-controller. Everything else just feels backwards at this point.

Steam Deck the 'perfect platform' for their game say Escape From Castle Matsumoto devs

Looks nice. I never fully understood how to play the old Spy vs. Spy back in the day (I was VERY young when I played it on C64, probaply ~5 years old), but I found it to be very interesting and remember it as something really unique to this day.

AYANEO continue teasing the AYANEO 3 Code: REVO handheld

Not a fan of this fake-hype-BS. Usually its not sign of anything good to come. But I´m just as highly interested as in any new handheld PC that gets revealed.

From that second teaser image, it looks a lot like the Steam Deck.
I totally agree. But thats a good thing so far :grin:

Spoiler, click me
Spoiler alert: Its actually not a device, its a F2P Gacha game!! :woot: *crowd goes wild* :woot: /badjoke

Assassin's Creed Mirage arrives on Steam as Ubisoft return to Valve's store

Shockingly it turns out, its not the best business strategy to make it harder for customers to buy and use your products :wink:

Now lets hope Ubi realises the "use" part of this equasion too by finally getting rid of their launcher and any forced-online crap etc...

I still like their games, but somehow they don´t seem to like my money :huh:
