Yesterday, Valve announced that their Big Picture service will be entering a beta phase soon. The Big Picture is a version of Steam optimized for television screens and controllers. Plug your PC into your 50" TV, and you can kick back on the sofa with a version of Steam that's designed to be readable from across the room, rather than squinting at the standard version.
On 16 May, the long-awaited release of the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima took place. And the game proved to be a great success on the first day.
Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.
I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?
Mecha Party brings the VR MOBA to Europe and Asia on PSVR 2 and Steam, while the Quest 3 version targets a summer release.
This looks pretty good. RIGZ made me queasy but I've got better VR legs now (I think).
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.
Interesting.
Great for people who want to centralise their gadgets.
That's what I do. 360, PS3, and PC all hooked up to one 24 inch TV. Not too big for sitting up close.
But this would be good for the folks who want to lounge.
This is a great idea. Now, if only Windows 8 supported a 360 controller for navigating the Windows 8 and Windows 7 interfaces. Then I could just power on the PC and sit down on the couch with the controller, and it would be as convenient as a console.
I used Steam on my big screen (47 considered big these days??) and it works well enough. I just switch from lists view to images and browser away. Text is tiny though :/
