Davkaus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 There's no 'system', and it's not just newer cards, the vast majority of graphics cards work under most Linux distros. AMD and Nvidia are getting a bit better at driver support for non-Windows operating systems now, but even before they offered proper support there were decent drivers made available by...the sort of people who like to do this stuff for free. I can see a lot of these being bought and just having Windows installed on them unless a lot of major devs get on board very quickly. And even then I can't see it becoming a mainstream item to challenge consoles for one reason - EA. A lot of PC gamers hate them, but tell a console gamer that there's this new more powerful device they can buy to play games that will look better and at a better framerate, but they can't play the likes of Battlefield and FIFA. I suspect many will stick to their console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I imagine Valve will make and market a generic Steam Box Valve Not Releasing a Steam Machine... for Now Valve could release a Steam Machine, but not anytime soon. Valve Software's Gabe Newell confirmed Monday night during the Steam Machines event that the company has no current plans to release its own Steam Machine despite the 300 prototypes shipped off to testers. He indicated that Valve hasn't positioned itself as a "console" maker; that's what the Steam Machine partners are for. Thus consumers will have a variety of options rather than a single hardware set that becomes obsolete in several years. .... Link ---------- oops, looks like I got that wrong.

samjp26 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So basically the idea is that these Steam partners build PCs to run Linux on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 F1 2013 is free to play all weekend and on sale for £7.50, not bad, it only came out a few months back. First F1 game I've played for years, I'm absolutely bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 For 24 hours Sniper Elite V2 is free and you get to keep it. Well done sir Bought that when it came out, I thought it was absolutely fantastic, and mostly overlooked at the time which was a shame. The slo-mo bullet cams are brilliant and extremely satisfying.
