The price though, I was expecting it to be expensive, but not 4 figures expensive. Sadly I have to pass on this.

That's why the high seas are for.

I mean, I'm not the pessimistic type but look at every single tech launch from the past 3-4 years and tell me they haven't been a mess.

I was interested in it, but the RAM "crisis" and the scalpers will most likely make it ridiculously expensive and rare. And I'm just tired of these paper launch thing, so probably will pass.

Probably because there is not a firm law on scalping, on top of being international site which makes applying laws even more difficult.

I'm talking about the Steam OS, not the Steam client.

That's my secret hope, since they already have the Frame on ARM. This would make the release of a separate ARM based Steam OS more likely and my tablet will be very thankful for that.

Yeah, this was my guess as well in a pre-ram crisis era.

Looking forward for it, both because the ARM support, since I no longer play on the Deck but on my Android tablet via Game Native, and, if not too expensive or scalpel, for the headset itself. I'm interested both in VR and in using it as Far for regular controller games on the couch.

Oh, i see, thanks!

Hi, when people say it feels similar to the Deck, they also mean the shape? One thing I don't like at all about the deck is how square the shape of its controllers are, as if they should be more angled outward in order to be comfortable to me. Are the Steam controller sides as straight as the Deck?

Oh great! So just like in the old titles. Thanks!!

Mind if I ask you if this game is playable solo against CPU? Used to play and love Worm back in the MS-DOS days but all the comments I find about this game seem to refer to multiplayer.

I did liked it better too. Not that the sequel is bad at all, it's very good but the first one is a 10/10 game. The progression and class system in Remnant 2 felt more restrictive to me than it was supposed to be.

Finished this last week, really good, fun and straightforward game. Only downside is that is a little short and not too many weapons variety, but at that price is a steal. Looking forward for a sequel.

For anyone interested it has kernel level anticheats, even if you will be playing solo.

I just want my Steam Controller 😭

Well, maybe I bite the bullet with the Frame later on.

Man it doesn't make me miss my Switch at all.

I’ve been wondering this too since the announcement of the frame. The ARM compatibility layer was the most exciting bit of the presentation for me. As much as I love my Deck I most certainly won’t be getting a Deck 2 in the future because what I need more in order to truly enjoy handheld gaming, for these aging eyes of mine, is a larger screen, something like 11+ inches. And it’s clear to me that those sizes can’t be achieved in the form factor of a Deck, you need something like a thick tablet with detachable controllers to do so.

I think the huge success of the Deck is because the form factor and the ability to play AAA PC games in said form factor, even if is on low settings or 30FPS. From the research I’ve done while buying a tablet for both content consumption and gaming is clear to me that ARM is still not up to that task yet but it is close enough. Next year’s Snapdragon elite 2 is tipped to be 30-404% faster and with a good compatibility layer and better drivers it could be a very viable option for handheld gaming.

I think that is not a matter of choice between x86 or ARM. Valve partnership with AMD goes deep and I think they will continue using both platforms for the foreseeable future and even possible but unlikely that at some point we got a base Deck with ARM and a pro model with x86.

I’m really excited with all this ARM compatibility stuff. Hopefully we will be able to install steam OS on Android devices at some point.
