- Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed 5 days ago:
same!
because by that logic steam controller 1 and steam controller 2 are also completely different devices and your past experience is inapplicable.
or we can accept that it was valve’s first foray into making hardware and they probably learned a thing or two in the last 10 years. don’t quite understand how you can overlook what I’m saying
- Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed 5 days ago:
not completely. the deck had a lot of time to get trackpads and steam input right.
- Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed 6 days ago:
yeah, but that was their first experience with hardware like this. there have been 2 steam decks since then.

Played the demo and liked it, but way too many games in my backlog at the moment, so will pick it up later at some point

By remaking those games they could indruduce the game to whole new audience who would never play the yanky outdated versions.
This is where we disagree.
- I don’t think we should try to re-introduce those games to new audiences - they can seek them out if they are interested. I haven’t played Planescape Torment until 2017, I haven’t played Gothic/Deus Ex/Thief games until 2020s. I liked them just fine having never played them in my childhood, I thought they were great. But by remaking influential hits of the past we water them down to “just another mediocre remake that released this year”.
- A remake by definition will not do anything new, and if we spend resources on remakes (and sequels) then we are robbing the current generation from having their own formative experiences. I want to see new IPs come out that try new and different things and move the medium forward. So far indie games are doing a great job with that, but I also want AAA games to not get stuck in regurgitating the same material year after year. What is this generation’s Half-Life, Roblox?
Most gamers now will never experience that story and those who do, will not get the same experience i got, because they will look everything in the game as a product of its time and the focus will be on the retro aspect, not on the game it self.
If they play a remake - they will not get the same experience you did either. It will be different even if they remake it shot for shot - because story is also a product of its time. And if they don’t remake it shot for shot and make changes to adapt it to modern “standards” - then it’s a different, derivative game vaguely inspired by the original piggybacking on the name.

I take it you haven’t played Pentiment

I’m of a firm opinion that no game needs a remake. Fixing up old games so that they can be played on modern systems - yes please. Remaking the same game but “”“better”“” - no thanks, I’d rather see something original and new come out
There are some exceptions like Pathologic 2 which is basically a remake but also a reimagining, but those are exceedingly rare.

Does it get to occupy it for pouring their money into finally making gaming on Linux viable?

I hate Denuvo as much as the next guy but it’s literally Steam Deck Verified
- Comment on ELI5: How does Frame Generation even work? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I simplified it to keep it at ELI5 level, but you’re right
- Comment on ELI5: How does Frame Generation even work? 3 weeks ago:
It does so at the cost of latency. It does not actually predict the next frame, it renders two full frames and then interpolates one frame between them. So it looks smoother but your input also takes that much longer to be displayed on the screen
