Rumor: Half-Life 3 getting announced this week

[moonbits]

I think it'd be a bit redundant when you could get a PC.

Also VR, eh, it's still not great enough.

Valve is officially entering the living room with a turnkey console and a new controller, and it's still not great enough, huh?

I just hope they release it just to get people to shut the F up about the game. Half-life this and half-life that. Honestly Just give me a new great BLOOD or Duke 3D game to hell with half a life im already 40 I got maybe half a life to live if I make it to 80.

They're f'ing with us.

I have a grudging respect for Valve's refusal to validate their license to print money (because that's what it really is at this point).

Be real. You're a millennial born and raised in the era of diet coke and peak fast food franchising.

You won't see retirement age.

Reading the title of this forum reminded me of this picture.

Well it would be correct but I´m not American. I hate DIET coke or any diet soda it taste like chemicals and in my country it´s 10 time cheaper to eat home coked food. A pizza is today 14 bucks a burger around 15-20 bucks. I eat out maybe 1 every 2 month.

I don´t drink alcohol as it´s a waste of money that could be spent on games.
I go for about an hour walk every day just to get to work and home as it´s cheapest. so 30 min walk to work and another 30 min to walk home.
I work out about 2 times a week.
My total wight is 187lbs and im 5.7
I don´t smoke
I drink water more than I drink soda
I eat candy one time a month as candy is expensive as hell today just one 100gram chocolate bar is 3-4 bucks.

The shit that probably shorten my life is my bad sleep habit. As a European i´m peak health that Americans dream of.

Mini PCs aren't rolling out with an RX 7600 GPU, and they will likely cost several hundred dollars more than the Steam Machine.

They only said "build me a pc that small" not one with the same specs.

I heard America is getting affordable healthcare tomorrow too

There are a ton of micro computers to get.

Why would I buy a console instead of using Steam on a PC as I do already?

The Steam Machine has failed a decade ago.

After Blood II The Chosen and Duke Nukem Forever this will be near impossible.

A mini PC can never match a normal desktop.

booooo, you couldn't do it.

 

[TheJoulesThief]

in reality, it'll be a Half-Life and Half-Life 2 collection.

Why would anybody buy a game console? To play video games on a TV. Why would you specifically buy one? I don't know or care.

Valve never sold it themselves a decade ago, and Proton wasn't around to prop it up.

A mini PC can never match a normal desktop.

A small form factor PC with laptop class hardware and a desktop GPU on board can absolutely match a normal entry level gaming desktop PC.

The only thing we don't know is the retail price & how hot or noisy the thing might get for any competitive comparison.

I think Valve should focus on software since that's what they do the best. PC gamers would have a PC rather than a "consolified" machine.

Then why getting Valve's?

I think it will be a better investment to make the computer by themselves.

Valve breaks it's silence toward the industry, and announces 3 new pieces of hardware to generate a bunch of hype, and here you are whining about everything before we even know the fucking price.

Then why getting Valve's?

Because it's a turn-key PC with a console setup? A potentially cheap and competitive price for the hardware and controller? A shiny new gaming toy?

Why buy any game console?

I think it will be a better investment to make the computer by themselves.

It will come down to price/performance, like any other consumer product. Considering it's audience, it will come down to whether or not console gamers suddenly want to go the extra step and build a machine for themselves.

News flash. That hasn't happened yet.
