So I was talking to my friends and we where talking about current game console and who we would love to see make a game console. It came down to: Valve and Apple teaming up (maybe Sony or Nintendo with them as well) to create the next generation gaming console. So we take a great game/software company and hook them up with a great software/hardware company to create a system which could topple Xbox and PS systems. So it would be a little box, maybe much like the current apple tv or Mac Mini. Be able to store massive downloaded content as well as disc for other games. It would need a control, but could maybe also be set up for ipod touches/phones and ipads to act as controls as well. So, lets send out our voices, and poll this idea up to Apple Valve. GreamMeakel Oh, if this comes to be, I want create.
Nah man it will be cool. Only 3000$ for the smallest software lineup ever. And each month a newer version will be released with features the first one should have initially come with! I heard version two is going to have online connectivity in the works and version three will bring you achievements! Each new version can be yours with a 3000$ upfront check.
A user with only one post, creating a thread for a scenario where Valve makes a consoleAND pairs up with Apple to do so. He then posts this in the PC Gaming board which is generally anti-console, hugely anti-Apple, and typically considers Valve paragons of PC gaming (esp. for Steam).
LOLLOLOLOL Valve and Apple together?? Why would one of gamings most open companies to user modding and pc support ever join hands with the worlds most proprietary company. Apple is worse then the Xbox 360 as far as control and proprietary hardware/software goes, Valve would never join hands with them. Their support for MAC now only exists because it's become a popular platform enough to justify support. I personally don't want any applecracks in my Valve cereal and if someone put them in there it would probably create the equivalent of a gaming-society armageddon.
Screw Apple; every single year they would release and "upgraded" version of the original console and the price would be enormous for seemingly outdated hardware.
I looking forward more to having Steam on Linux =DIantheone
True, I use to run linux for a few months on my old laptop before my new one, I missed my gaming, but WINE does a good job of emulating I wouldn't like a Mac console, it would be overly expensive and would probably cater to the casual market, plus it would give Steve Jobs another chance to look smug, I love apple products but I hate jobs
