Rumor: Steam Machine $499 with a AMD Radeon R9 270. RIP PS4 And XboxOne If True

[daze23]

but hopefully your using that pc for more than just games

why does it matter. there's much more expensive hobbies out there. try buying a nice set of golf clubs

 

[Rekkapryde]

No

Just build one

an A6 or a i3 for PC gaming in 2014

The $499 model will still crush the xbox one and the PS4 tho, so if you are looking for that...there you go.

I saw that A6 and cried...knew you were gonna shyt on it.

Is there any laptop out there for "cheap" that can run pc games solid?

I'm just warning anybody who is used to the console experience that they will have to develop a taste for big time strategy games to really enjoy their builds and make it worth it. The multiplat games look better but not 800 dollars better maybe 100 dollars better unless they really go and get 3 4k monitors and an oculus rift to really feel something different

Can one of the PC Coli nikkas please break this down brehs. Can't you build a stronger PC for cheaper than that ? Cus if so I'm finding it hard to see how this will move serious units when the vast majority of PC gamers could just potentially say fukk it and build their own.

the companys selling them already rape customers on pricing for pre built computers. Steambox will be no different. There is NO cheaper alternative than building a computer yourself, but the people who visit these sites to buy computers dont know how to or dont care to build their own anyway and will be the steambox customers as well.

the PC is not just "strategy games" and multiplatform games with 'better graphics', although that seems to be what a lot of people think it is

the PC market is just different their exclusives are for really hardcore gamers who are into strategy games and MMO's where they take time to build their characters and really feel like they live in the world the game creates

Consoles have linear action adventure titles first person shooters and sandbox action games. There was a time when PC's could say they had exclusive First Person Shooters that just couldn't be done on consoles back when the unreal tournaments far cry battlefields and original Call of Duty and a few others were popping. The last shooter that you could say PC gave an experience the console couldn't was Crysis

Now star citizen looks to be the next pc game to feature unreal amazing graphics but its one of those games that you seem to need to devote your life too

consoles kind of give you that night at the movies feel. You play for an hour a 2 a night beat the game indulge in multiplayer for that competitive feel and move on to the next experience. PC gamers have probably been playing world of warcaft for years

but ultimately back to the point if your into console games why spend so much money to play multiplat games with better graphics but not worth hundreds of dollars more in better graphics? Now I do support building a good htpc and well if you want to put a good graphics card then enjoy the better graphics but hopefully your using that pc for more than just games

why does everyone keep saying PC gamers are all about MMOS?

Most MMOS flop and they hardly ever come out... 2013 did not have a single big MMO (that you had to pay for) release the entire year.. The ignorance and generalizations of PC gaming on this forum blows my mind

The most popular games on PC are League of Legends and DOTA 2... games that have that "night at the movies feel" where you can just sit down and play 1 or 2 and it would take a hour and half at the most

which is less time than what most console call of duty players put into their gaming sessions

what else is there? mmo's? I haven't bought a console yet i could easily put that money towards upgrading my rig instead show me some games that are coming down the pike that are awesome

I'm pretty sure there's been a few threads on this

hopefully we'll get some info (and pricing) on the controller today. but it should come standard with most of these machines. them running the SteamOS and coming with the controller is what makes them "Steam Machines"

What is "cheap"?

Gaming on a laptop usually spells disaster or something that is about as thick as the PS4 and built with a ton of fans (unless its a macbook pro)...I would avoid it.
