WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.640 Hello everyone and Merry Christmas. Ho ho ho. 00:00:04.419 --> 00:00:06.980 Christmas songs have been playing in the office 00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:10.820 all fucking day. It is the 14th of November. 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.559 Correct. It's grim. Shouldn't be fucking played 00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.519 this early. No chance. I'm sick of it. What I'm 00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:25.039 not sick of is how much shit we've missed in 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.019 the last two weeks of not podding. No, one week. 00:00:29.779 --> 00:00:31.800 Yeah, we only missed last Friday, but that was 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.219 because of logistical things like me getting 00:00:35.219 --> 00:00:38.299 a new job. Work's been very, very busy. Work's 00:00:38.299 --> 00:00:40.100 been very exciting. Probably the happiest I've 00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:42.100 been in the last 20 years, work -wise. Me and 00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:46.359 Ash now work together. Mental. Which is, we'll 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.820 go down a little bit of history. This is, without 00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:53.420 fangirling, but it is fangirling, is one of the 00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:59.479 happiest moments of my life. So me and Ash haven't 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.560 worked. We've known each other for what? Six 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.459 years, I think? Coming on six years. I didn't 00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:07.099 like you for about a year. Yeah, I've been doing 00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:09.140 this for almost six years. So I've known you 00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:12.579 from the start of that. And we haven't worked 00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:16.739 together for pretty much five years of that. 00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:18.939 So we've been doing a podcast. We've been talking 00:01:18.939 --> 00:01:20.540 and blah, blah, blah. But we haven't actually 00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:23.140 worked with each other for... considerable amount 00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:25.640 of time and there was there's been so much begging 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.739 in the background by me to get this man to come 00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:33.159 work with me and finally we fucking caught him 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.659 snagged me caught the big fish and it's been 00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:39.359 one hell of a week oh my god the gang's back 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:45.819 together fucking you me Connor Daryl Manister's 00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:50.579 gone it's a dream it's fantastic I'm not gonna 00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:55.640 lie I absolutely love it. I'm very happy. Definitely 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.579 the right choice. All the games. All the gaming. 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.799 Conversations. It's everywhere. We're professional 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.420 at work. We're unprofessional here. Oh, fucking 00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:11.120 hell. Bang on. Bang on. Bang on. GTA's been delayed. 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.599 Yeah, fuck. I forgot about that. I read it and 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.860 I was like, wow, but I don't care. Yeah. Right 00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:24.550 now. Yeah, I think. I was not annoyed at all. 00:02:24.650 --> 00:02:27.270 But when Steph told me, I went, fuck's sake. 00:02:27.449 --> 00:02:30.169 I said, for fuck's sake. But not out of pure 00:02:30.169 --> 00:02:33.930 annoyance, just like little annoyance. You know 00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:35.349 what I mean? I was angry for about five seconds 00:02:35.349 --> 00:02:39.430 and then fine. Because for me, and I think for 00:02:39.430 --> 00:02:41.750 most people, it's just been so fucking long. 00:02:42.210 --> 00:02:44.349 It's been so long where it's like, yeah, okay, 00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:46.590 whatever, man. You're going to delay it, delay 00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:51.520 it. It's beyond the point of really caring. You 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.479 feel me? You understand? I feel you. I just don't 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.419 care. I mean, it's going to come when I'm dead 00:02:59.419 --> 00:03:02.879 at this point. I would have thought they would 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.400 have released another trailer by now because 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.159 of that, but I guess not. I'm sure it will come 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.800 before Christmas. Someone made a good point of... 00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:12.810 you think that's bad but see what Bethesda did 00:03:12.810 --> 00:03:15.909 with Skyrim where they just gave you a mountain 00:03:15.909 --> 00:03:19.650 range and then went bye Elder Scrolls it's there 00:03:19.650 --> 00:03:21.990 that was about 10 years ago that was a long time 00:03:21.990 --> 00:03:26.509 ago man people still dissect that trailer and 00:03:26.509 --> 00:03:29.189 be like it must be Hammerfell and it's just like 00:03:29.189 --> 00:03:32.030 come on man that was so many years ago they've 00:03:32.030 --> 00:03:35.930 got nothing else to fucking go by yeah we won't 00:03:35.930 --> 00:03:38.620 we won't that's GTA out of the way we've spoken 00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:42.080 about that for fucking millennia that's been 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.080 spoken about to death it's another year away 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.099 at least now so we might as well just ignore 00:03:46.099 --> 00:03:48.099 it for six months and then get excited again 00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:53.819 have you been seeing much on Black Ops 7 I saw 00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:56.379 some fucking fucking hell I saw some geezer like 00:03:56.379 --> 00:03:59.289 because they love the movement in Call of Duty, 00:03:59.370 --> 00:04:01.229 didn't they? I saw some geezer slide and then 00:04:01.229 --> 00:04:03.370 jump over everyone's heads, do a bit of wall 00:04:03.370 --> 00:04:05.370 running. I was like, I'm so glad I'm not fighting 00:04:05.370 --> 00:04:08.289 that. I see a geezer that had a perk that turns 00:04:08.289 --> 00:04:10.930 him fully invisible. Great. And then he just 00:04:10.930 --> 00:04:13.250 ran around a corner because it was the POV of 00:04:13.250 --> 00:04:17.610 the person that got killed. And I think at first 00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:19.649 they thought they got hacked, but it's literally... 00:04:20.449 --> 00:04:22.449 they're just running, and someone, they die, 00:04:22.610 --> 00:04:24.949 and then as they die, the person comes out of 00:04:24.949 --> 00:04:26.610 their, like, invisibility, and he's like, what? 00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:28.069 And then, yeah, when he watches the kill cam, 00:04:28.269 --> 00:04:30.870 the geezer, like, does something, I didn't see 00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:33.250 what, whether he touched his watch or some shit, 00:04:33.389 --> 00:04:36.350 and then, yeah, fully cloaks himself, and then 00:04:36.350 --> 00:04:39.290 goes running off and kills people. Great. Obviously, 00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:41.269 the minute you fire a gun, you're out of invisibility, 00:04:41.449 --> 00:04:43.930 but I was like, that, who the fuck thought that's 00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:47.069 a good idea? I've seen the campaigns, got zombies 00:04:47.069 --> 00:04:50.709 in it, and some big, massive boss, geyser with 00:04:50.709 --> 00:04:53.269 mechanics uh it looks really weird call of duty 00:04:53.269 --> 00:04:57.610 has just completely and utterly lost every piece 00:04:57.610 --> 00:05:00.689 of identity it's ever had call of duty used to 00:05:00.689 --> 00:05:03.110 be like did you ever play medal of honor yeah 00:05:03.110 --> 00:05:05.629 medal of honor like the first ever one when i 00:05:05.629 --> 00:05:07.769 was a kid and you were doing like the battle 00:05:07.769 --> 00:05:09.790 of normandy beach and stuff and it was like the 00:05:09.790 --> 00:05:12.430 most epic thing you've ever seen and call of 00:05:12.430 --> 00:05:14.689 duty was like battling with that for like military 00:05:14.689 --> 00:05:19.110 shooter like realism dark and gritty and now 00:05:19.110 --> 00:05:21.470 it's just you know it's just i don't know what 00:05:21.470 --> 00:05:23.750 it is anymore it's just like a it's like pop 00:05:23.750 --> 00:05:27.730 culture isn't it fortnight but done wrong yeah 00:05:27.730 --> 00:05:31.430 basically at least like i feel like fortnight 00:05:31.430 --> 00:05:35.970 set the precedent of being what it is a battle 00:05:35.970 --> 00:05:38.129 royale that has since turned into just fucking 00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:41.529 you can do whatever you want on fortnight got 00:05:41.529 --> 00:05:43.589 his thing from just stealing his ideas from everyone 00:05:43.589 --> 00:05:48.279 else but just doing it better So let's not forget 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.100 that most of their shit is just stolen off of 00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:55.819 something else or very, very closely similar. 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.899 But legal and done very well. And they're very, 00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:03.939 very popular for it. It's fair enough. And it 00:06:03.939 --> 00:06:06.379 was a good battle royale. It still is. And the 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:09.620 cosmetic side of it is top notch. I feel like 00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:12.379 Call of Duty just tried to muscle in on that. 00:06:13.579 --> 00:06:17.529 And it's just utter shit. It's utter shit. Why 00:06:17.529 --> 00:06:20.089 is fucking Beavis and Butthead being killed by 00:06:20.089 --> 00:06:23.170 Nicki Minaj? In what world is that a thing with 00:06:23.170 --> 00:06:27.269 an AR -15? It makes no sense to me. It's alright 00:06:27.269 --> 00:06:30.550 in a cartoony game like Fortnite, but in a military 00:06:30.550 --> 00:06:32.870 shooter like Call of Duty, it's just weird. It 00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:34.970 just doesn't hold that title anymore. Not when 00:06:34.970 --> 00:06:38.910 Battlefield 6 is there as well. But even then, 00:06:38.930 --> 00:06:40.649 they want to be fucking careful with the portal. 00:06:41.430 --> 00:06:43.949 That weird shit that I'm seeing coming through 00:06:43.949 --> 00:06:48.540 that. Keep it there. Don't start introducing 00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:50.540 that into... Yeah, but that is what it is. It's 00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:53.459 user -created stuff. So it's not... That's all 00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:58.300 separate. The fucking... You know... You see 00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:01.620 them on GTA all the time in the private matches 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:06.040 and shit like that. Where it'll be like a gradient, 00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:10.060 like a hill or a bridge or something. And you've 00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:11.860 got to try and run up it while cars and shit 00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:13.560 are being sent down and blowing up. And you've 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.339 got to try and zigzag and avoid them. I'm pretty 00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:19.319 sure I see a clip of Battlefield 7 where that 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.680 is in the campaign. Battlefield 6, yeah. Sorry, 00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:26.120 Black Ops 7. Oh, Black Ops. Yeah, something like 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.560 that is in the campaign. Yeah. Well, I'm not 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.819 surprised, mate, to be honest. I don't think 00:07:32.819 --> 00:07:34.920 anyone plans on fucking playing it, do they? 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.360 None of us lot, anyway. No, no, no, none of us 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.720 lot are going to fucking touch it. Sorry, it's 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.209 just work shit. No, it wasn't really. Kind of 00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:50.490 a big deal now, aren't we? Somehow. Somehow. 00:07:52.029 --> 00:07:55.490 Yeah, fuck Call of Duty. Anyway, what's next? 00:07:56.589 --> 00:08:00.170 Steam Deck Box. We can either go into Steam Deck 00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:04.009 Box, Xbox Box, or there's Outer Worlds 2. Fuck 00:08:04.009 --> 00:08:05.649 Outer Worlds 2. Hold on, let's touch on something 00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:08.769 else Dean keeps crying about. Please talk about 00:08:08.769 --> 00:08:13.089 Ghost of Yotai. Ghost of Yotai exists. Next. 00:08:13.310 --> 00:08:15.850 I told you, neither of us have played it yet. 00:08:16.230 --> 00:08:19.129 Do you know what? It's funny because on the way 00:08:19.129 --> 00:08:22.750 here, I was thinking, should I buy that? Because 00:08:22.750 --> 00:08:26.850 I am kind of between a lot of games at the moment 00:08:26.850 --> 00:08:31.250 and I'm back on that kind of, you know, swords 00:08:31.250 --> 00:08:36.190 and shit. But I have played nothing at all this 00:08:36.190 --> 00:08:40.629 week and I hope that that changes in the next 00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:43.889 week. But if I carry on feeling as I do now, 00:08:44.049 --> 00:08:47.429 it's not going to. I may never play a video game 00:08:47.429 --> 00:08:51.149 again or I may never play a game that large again. 00:08:51.350 --> 00:08:55.289 So whilst it's one of the most amazing things 00:08:55.289 --> 00:08:58.929 that's happened with me and Ash now working together 00:08:58.929 --> 00:09:03.529 and Connor and Daryl, Ash now has to get up like 00:09:03.529 --> 00:09:05.610 three hours earlier than we normally used to. 00:09:05.889 --> 00:09:07.929 Yes. So it's now. What time was you getting up 00:09:07.929 --> 00:09:11.590 normally? Half six, quarter seven. And now you 00:09:11.590 --> 00:09:14.450 get up when? Half four. Same time as me, baby. 00:09:15.429 --> 00:09:18.909 Yeah. Lovely. Half hour to shit and shave and 00:09:18.909 --> 00:09:21.830 then an hour to get to the yard. Or 40 minutes 00:09:21.830 --> 00:09:24.990 to get to the yard, whatever. Yeah. Yeah, nice. 00:09:25.269 --> 00:09:30.009 So my eyes are burning past midday. Yeah. I'll 00:09:30.009 --> 00:09:33.470 adjust. So Mark has platinumed Ghost of Yotai 00:09:33.470 --> 00:09:37.669 and he said that it's very, very, very good. 00:09:37.710 --> 00:09:42.100 Better than Ghost of Tsushima. So I will definitely 00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:44.200 play it. Completely forgot that Assassin's Creed 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.960 Shadows exists. Completely forgot. I will be 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.039 playing that at some point. I'm just not... It's 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.799 one of them ones where so many decent games released 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.899 in one month, it fucking ruined it for me because 00:09:57.899 --> 00:10:02.120 it was too much shit. Far too much shit. I slogged 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.779 through Dying Light, even though I really enjoyed 00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:08.799 it, to just fucking get that done. I'm now playing 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.679 Outer Worlds 2. I fucking love it. I'll tell 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.139 you what, talk about that because I'm just going 00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:15.580 to shut my eyes for a minute and let you wax 00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:17.879 lyrical about it and I'll say yes and no and 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:19.740 grunt every now and again. Just go on. I love 00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:23.740 it. It's incredible. So I was on, I'd played 00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:28.120 for three hours or four hours on the Friday and 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:32.580 then by the Sunday it was at 18 hours. Wow. There's 00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:36.120 just, it's so fun. Great. It's so much fun but 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.629 I really liked Outer Worlds 1. Yeah. So this 00:10:38.629 --> 00:10:41.009 just improves on Outer Worlds 2. And you've got 00:10:41.009 --> 00:10:43.549 these perks that you get throughout the game 00:10:43.549 --> 00:10:46.830 by doing various things. So like one that I've 00:10:46.830 --> 00:10:49.009 got at the moment, which I like but don't like 00:10:49.009 --> 00:10:51.429 at the same time. If you crouch enough times, 00:10:51.450 --> 00:10:54.090 it pops up with a perk where your knees pop. 00:10:54.350 --> 00:10:56.809 But it makes you move 50 % quicker when you are 00:10:56.809 --> 00:10:59.450 crouched. So I took that and it's quite cool. 00:11:00.909 --> 00:11:03.149 There's also perks where if you stare at the 00:11:03.149 --> 00:11:05.570 sun, it's called like sun gaze or something like 00:11:05.570 --> 00:11:09.059 that. Permanently blurs your vision. But I think 00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:12.299 it does, it's something like it makes you do 00:11:12.299 --> 00:11:16.919 100 % critical hit chance or something to do, 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.580 like 100 % spread or some shit like that. But 00:11:19.580 --> 00:11:22.399 the entire rest of your playthrough is slightly 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.720 blurred. And I was like, I ain't doing that because 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.600 these are irreversible. there what else was there 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.960 there's been a couple um that i've declined because 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.860 you decline them then that's permanent as well 00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:36.840 you you ain't getting them um for the rest of 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:39.019 it uh i can't remember what some of them were 00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:40.500 some of them were pretty shit some of them were 00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:43.899 pretty good there was one where um if you're 00:11:43.899 --> 00:11:49.320 in sunlight you're constantly healing but the 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.500 detrimental effect of it was pretty fucking awful 00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:54.120 i think it was something like you had like 50 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.240 less health or some shit like that i was like 00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.980 no you're right i'll just eat a packet of crisps 00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:01.259 every time i'm a bit damaged that makes more 00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:04.700 sense than doing something like that um i know 00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:06.919 that i'm really enjoying it because the first 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.779 planet that i went to i did absolutely everything 00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:12.580 on it every side quest discovered everything 00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:14.860 i spoke to every single person i killed everything 00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:19.669 it was great I was like, this is the bollocks. 00:12:19.769 --> 00:12:21.250 And I was trying to explain it to Steph where 00:12:21.250 --> 00:12:23.909 I was like, I think I enjoy it so much because 00:12:23.909 --> 00:12:28.610 it's obviously a shooter. I won't say first person 00:12:28.610 --> 00:12:31.950 because you can go from first to third. But it's 00:12:31.950 --> 00:12:35.309 the character dialogues and the quests and all 00:12:35.309 --> 00:12:38.009 the different little side stories and the companions 00:12:38.009 --> 00:12:40.149 and the relationships you make and this thing 00:12:40.149 --> 00:12:43.269 does this and the perks that come alongside it 00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:46.129 like lockpicking and engineering and stuff like 00:12:46.129 --> 00:12:49.860 that. I've skilled into hacking, lockpicking, 00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:55.139 and engineering as my main things. So that means 00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:59.220 that the majority of places I can get into. So 00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:03.059 it makes your playthrough so much more different 00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:06.360 to someone who's skilled into speech and leadership 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.840 and melee weapons. And I like that because it 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.100 just gives you that different dynamic. Please 00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:16.730 explain to me. What is better about this one 00:13:16.730 --> 00:13:19.909 that you've noticed than the first one? Because 00:13:19.909 --> 00:13:21.970 I honestly thought the first one was absolute 00:13:21.970 --> 00:13:26.990 dog water. And I love Obsidian games, and I love 00:13:26.990 --> 00:13:29.889 space games, and I love Fallout -style games, 00:13:29.970 --> 00:13:32.230 which is all three of them things, but it felt 00:13:32.230 --> 00:13:37.309 as fucking deep as a puddle, the first one. Kind 00:13:37.309 --> 00:13:44.750 of... Kind of the same. There's a familiarity 00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:50.909 there. Outer Worlds 2 is completely separate 00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:52.769 to Outer Worlds 1, so you can play 2 without 00:13:52.769 --> 00:13:54.610 having touched Outer Worlds 1. It's in the same 00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:58.529 universe, but has no connection to the characters 00:13:58.529 --> 00:14:02.070 of Outer Worlds 1 or the story at all. You're 00:14:02.070 --> 00:14:03.590 on a completely separate thing, so you don't 00:14:03.590 --> 00:14:07.730 have to have played the first game to understand 00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:09.970 what's going on in the second one. I get what 00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:13.029 you mean by story depth in the first one, because 00:14:13.029 --> 00:14:17.230 you were sort of just thrusted into it, and then 00:14:17.230 --> 00:14:21.429 the storylines that you were playing a part in, 00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:24.789 they were very shallow. Not even just that, I 00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:27.590 just felt the game was just, it just felt like, 00:14:27.669 --> 00:14:31.730 you know, it's hard to explain, maybe like, knowing 00:14:31.730 --> 00:14:34.750 you play Fallout or something, Fallout 4, for 00:14:34.750 --> 00:14:37.840 example, and you go into a town and that. all 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.019 the people are bowling about doing stuff whereas 00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:41.960 in like Outer Worlds they were all just standing 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.320 still in like the same places they weren't really 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.299 like it wasn't like they were moving around doing 00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:48.899 shit they just stand there and then you go out 00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.919 in the middle of the night and they're still 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.059 just standing there it's just like that sort 00:14:52.059 --> 00:14:54.940 of I'd say it's better it's better now the people 00:14:54.940 --> 00:14:57.860 are actually the NPCs are actually doing stuff 00:14:57.860 --> 00:15:02.039 and you can interact with most of them and there 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.019 is when you go into a town or a city there is 00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:08.259 there is more I know what you mean It felt very 00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:11.120 empty, whereas now it feels a little bit more 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:14.139 hustle and bustle going on. I think the other 00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:17.100 thing is if you compare Fallout 4 to something 00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:20.440 like Outer Worlds, even Outer Worlds 2, the mapping's 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.139 completely different. So obviously Fallout 4, 00:15:23.299 --> 00:15:25.720 or most of the Fallouts, I think all of them 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.039 to be fair, completely open world. I know you 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.000 can fast travel, but you can go from one end 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.080 of the entire map to the other in one sitting 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.019 if you wanted to. Outer worlds, you can't. It's 00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:42.200 a map -by -map system or planetary thing. And 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.460 like I say, I'm like 20 -something hours in now 00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:51.720 and I've only just left the first planet. So 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.980 I can't really speak for the other exploration 00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:57.299 side of it, but the first planet that I was on 00:15:57.299 --> 00:16:02.120 was very much the same. Not massive, not small, 00:16:02.259 --> 00:16:07.649 but... that open world feeling was there but 00:16:07.649 --> 00:16:10.970 you were also hyper aware that you're on one 00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:13.450 solitary map yeah i don't mind that that's that's 00:16:13.450 --> 00:16:16.330 fine i just felt like i don't know everything 00:16:16.330 --> 00:16:19.549 just felt shallow like you you picked up the 00:16:19.549 --> 00:16:22.070 same shit constantly there was not much loot 00:16:22.070 --> 00:16:24.710 variation it was always the same loot in the 00:16:24.710 --> 00:16:27.190 boxes there was never anything like oh that's 00:16:27.190 --> 00:16:29.210 great that's what i find i'm glad i looked down 00:16:29.210 --> 00:16:32.389 this corridor and like i say everyone stood still 00:16:32.909 --> 00:16:35.570 The gunplay was fucking shite. The companions 00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:39.830 were shite. Their abilities were shite. I don't 00:16:39.830 --> 00:16:42.129 know why. I just really didn't like that game. 00:16:42.289 --> 00:16:45.370 The tongue -in -cheek comedy just didn't stick 00:16:45.370 --> 00:16:47.129 with me. I just thought it was fucking lame. 00:16:47.769 --> 00:16:51.389 And I wanted to like the game. It's exactly the 00:16:51.389 --> 00:16:54.110 sort of game that I love. It just did not work 00:16:54.110 --> 00:16:56.370 for me. And I have no idea why. It just felt... 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.700 crap chances are you won't like this then yeah 00:16:58.700 --> 00:17:00.679 that's why i'm bothered because it is very similar 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.340 to outer worlds one but it's it's for me i think 00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:04.880 it's better i think the guns feel better but 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.839 they feel very it feels very very similar just 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.859 improved upon yeah but only on a on a smaller 00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:16.500 scale because but i'm coming from it of a mind 00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:19.339 where i really liked the first one i had very 00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:21.900 little to complain about so naturally i'm going 00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:23.980 to think oh shit They've made it a little bit 00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:25.839 better in Outer Worlds 2. For me, that's great. 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.339 For you, it'll probably still be shit. I will 00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:31.279 play it. It'll just be one of them I'll pick 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.460 up when it's on PlayStation Plus or when it's 00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:36.259 like a score or 10 or whatever. But, yeah, I've 00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:37.660 got nothing against it and I will definitely 00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:39.480 try it. It's just the first one just didn't hit 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.539 for me. Maybe it was just the time I played it 00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:43.079 and I weren't in the mood for it. I don't know. 00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:45.920 But I never gave it another chance, so maybe 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.900 that's on me. No, no, I'm really enjoying it. 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.039 But there's not really much more I can speak 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.140 on it because even though I've put a couple of 00:17:52.140 --> 00:17:56.339 hours in, I haven't done much in terms of the 00:17:56.339 --> 00:17:59.140 game itself. I don't know how long it is to complete 00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:00.519 it. I haven't bothered looking it up. I'm not 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.599 interested. I'm taking my time with it. I'm enjoying 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.500 everything. And yeah, hopefully, at some point 00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:09.859 this weekend, I get to fucking play it because 00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:13.140 I haven't touched it since Sunday. I need to 00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:17.619 play it. Steam. Oh, yeah. I love Steam. Steam. 00:18:18.089 --> 00:18:20.470 Box, Xbox, box, box. That's the only thing I 00:18:20.470 --> 00:18:22.369 have done this week. I put Steam Deck on for 00:18:22.369 --> 00:18:25.170 about 10 minutes and I was like, my eyes, and 00:18:25.170 --> 00:18:29.309 then I turned it off. I'm loving the Steam Deck 00:18:29.309 --> 00:18:30.869 at the moment, man. I've played that more than 00:18:30.869 --> 00:18:33.549 anything. I'm fucking in love with it, bro. I 00:18:33.549 --> 00:18:35.190 think I've even bought more games that I haven't 00:18:35.190 --> 00:18:37.630 even played just because that's what you do on 00:18:37.630 --> 00:18:41.390 Steam, isn't it? Well, early 2026, you'll be 00:18:41.390 --> 00:18:44.829 able to play them on the big screen, mate. Well, 00:18:44.849 --> 00:18:47.519 I do anyway. I just dock it. Well, fuck the dock 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.779 off and plug the PC in. Well, yeah, there's a 00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:53.880 chance I might do that. But if I buy that, I 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:57.420 don't need it. But I want it. And I don't even 00:18:57.420 --> 00:18:59.460 know what it does. No, I don't need it. I'm going 00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:01.359 to buy it. So if you're wondering what we're 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:05.119 talking about, Steam announced on a random Wednesday 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.539 with no prior teasing whatsoever, they released 00:19:08.539 --> 00:19:13.819 a video showcasing three new things. The first 00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:17.779 thing is a controller. which is basically take 00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:21.059 a steam deck, rip the screen off, and then smush 00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:24.519 it together, and you have yourself the controller. 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:31.119 It's got magnetic joysticks, so basically they're 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:34.779 calling them anti -drift joysticks, which is 00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:37.640 quite cool. I believe the PS5 Pro controller 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:42.680 does the same thing as well. And the coolest 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:46.210 part about the controller is the charging. So 00:19:46.210 --> 00:19:50.670 it's just a dock that it comes with. So rather 00:19:50.670 --> 00:19:52.089 than having to plug the fucking thing in, blah, 00:19:52.130 --> 00:19:54.529 blah, blah, you just dock it on and it clips 00:19:54.529 --> 00:19:57.109 in. And I believe the battery lasts for something 00:19:57.109 --> 00:19:59.829 like 35 hours, I think they showcased, which 00:19:59.829 --> 00:20:03.589 is pretty fucking cool. Mental, to be honest. 00:20:03.829 --> 00:20:06.789 And then they also, there's customisable buttons 00:20:06.789 --> 00:20:10.549 and all sorts of other higgledy -piggledy. Looks 00:20:10.549 --> 00:20:12.609 like a cool controller. By the way, none of this 00:20:12.609 --> 00:20:14.539 stuff has a price point yet. There's nothing 00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:17.599 official that's come out saying the price. So 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.339 fuck knows how much it costs. I wonder if they 00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:21.279 do that because they want to gauge the reaction, 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.519 interest, and then just see what people... Because 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.819 people are going to talk about that all over 00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:30.240 Reddit, Discord, the YouTube comments, all that. 00:20:30.380 --> 00:20:33.039 I wonder if they kind of gauge the price on what 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.720 they feel they can get. The general consensus 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.640 of what... So the second thing they introduced 00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:43.440 was called the Steam Machine. And basically, 00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:48.640 it's a little cube with a customizable faceplate 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.700 that you can take off and change with anything 00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:55.519 else. And LED light. And an LED light bar that's 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.539 customizable. And basically, it is a PC. So the 00:20:59.539 --> 00:21:02.359 idea is that you're able to plug it in alongside 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.480 your TV. or wherever you want to plug it in. 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.140 And it runs SteamOS, not Windows, just straight 00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:14.539 SteamOS. So same thing with the Steam Deck. And 00:21:14.539 --> 00:21:16.440 you're able to play your entire Steam library. 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:21.700 So they are branded that it is a PC. So you're 00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:24.599 also able to access other applications and things 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:29.799 like that from this tiny little cube. I'd say 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.960 if you had a standard Rubik's Cube, it's probably 00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.339 like three times the size of that. So it's really 00:21:35.339 --> 00:21:38.059 not that big. It's very, very sweet. It's a square 00:21:38.059 --> 00:21:43.200 Amazon Alexa. Yes, there you go. Perfect. And 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:46.960 they're saying that it's six times more powerful 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:52.259 than a Steam Deck. It's got a partly custom AMD 00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:58.720 GPU, CPU. And I think from what I was reading, 00:21:59.019 --> 00:22:02.700 they're meant to have like a two terabyte version. 00:22:04.449 --> 00:22:09.549 And they said that it will run 4K 60 frames per 00:22:09.549 --> 00:22:11.730 second. Didn't say what games it will run that 00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:13.690 at though. Because the Steam Deck also says it 00:22:13.690 --> 00:22:16.569 will run Cyberpunk. And Baldur's Gate. And it 00:22:16.569 --> 00:22:18.230 runs them. I know your one will be different. 00:22:18.329 --> 00:22:20.690 But the standard one runs them terribly. Unless 00:22:20.690 --> 00:22:23.990 you really fucking dull down the settings. So 00:22:23.990 --> 00:22:26.369 saying that it runs 4K at 60 frames per second. 00:22:27.170 --> 00:22:29.650 That's great. But it only does it with a fucking 00:22:29.650 --> 00:22:34.480 2D 5 quid indie game. It's of no benefit to the 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:39.660 majority. There's not a selling point. But going 00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:41.920 back to what Ash was saying about price point, 00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:45.940 a lot of people, from what I was reading, the 00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:48.980 general consensus is that they seem happy to 00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:52.640 pay between 600 and 700 quid because it is a 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:57.259 PC. So this is being branded as a not entry -level 00:22:57.259 --> 00:23:01.119 PC, but for the gamer that does not want to commit. 00:23:01.689 --> 00:23:06.349 Or just isn't interested in building a PC. So 00:23:06.349 --> 00:23:08.890 like me for example. I have a laptop. I now have 00:23:08.890 --> 00:23:11.650 the room. Because I'm in my own house. To have 00:23:11.650 --> 00:23:13.990 a full PC. Set up a tower. I've got a dedicated 00:23:13.990 --> 00:23:18.470 room for all of this. Beforehand I didn't. I 00:23:18.470 --> 00:23:20.750 still probably won't do it. Because I don't want 00:23:20.750 --> 00:23:22.589 to spend the money. And I use this mainly for 00:23:22.589 --> 00:23:25.329 World of Warcraft. I don't need a tower and all 00:23:25.329 --> 00:23:29.690 the other shit. This plays it fine. So for me. 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.220 That little Steam machine looks amazing. Yes, 00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:36.740 give me something. Give me that. Because I don't 00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:39.859 really like playing games on Steam on my laptop. 00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:42.359 I'd much rather sit down on the sofa and play 00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:44.180 it and all that shit. And I'm not interested 00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:46.420 in switching on the Steam Deck and getting a 00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:51.400 dock. It's just not for me. Whereas that little 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.200 PC, I don't need it. You don't need it. I fucking 00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.700 want it. It looks sick. It's just a little cube 00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:59.960 that you can just plug into your telly. And if 00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:01.500 I want to plug it somewhere else, I'll pick it 00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:03.339 up and I'll fucking plug it somewhere else. I 00:24:03.339 --> 00:24:05.900 just wonder what the difference is, though. I 00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:07.799 know it's six times more powerful than Steam 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.400 Deck. What is the difference between that and 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.019 me just fucking plugging my Steam Deck into the 00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:15.480 dock? Because it all pops up on the telly. It's 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.880 all nice. It all runs at 60K. It's all beautiful. 00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:21.079 I use my PlayStation 5 controller. All links 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.000 up. Perfect. Well, it'll run better. But it runs 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.160 perfect. Yeah, but this will run better games. 00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:30.160 is the idea yeah that's that's what i want to 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.480 know what level of games are we talking about 00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:39.720 here um i'm currently uh because also they released 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:44.519 a vr um announced a vr device vr is dead to me 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:46.240 it makes me feel sick i will still talk about 00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:47.940 it though because did you did you look into any 00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:50.640 of that no very very cool not enough to make 00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:51.900 me want to do it because it makes me feel sick 00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:54.119 well i genuinely believe steam is one of the 00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.329 best companies for gaming in the world steam 00:24:56.329 --> 00:24:58.750 steam right now is doing what xbox should be 00:24:58.750 --> 00:25:01.549 doing steam is i tell you what steam's doing 00:25:01.549 --> 00:25:04.630 is filling xbox's hole they're leaving so xbox 00:25:04.630 --> 00:25:07.390 are leaving the play state the the the competitive 00:25:07.390 --> 00:25:11.869 gaming market and probably more pushing um like 00:25:11.869 --> 00:25:15.289 stream anywhere kind of thing and and steam is 00:25:15.289 --> 00:25:17.609 stepping in going hold on we've got a new box 00:25:17.609 --> 00:25:19.990 that will fill it and make it the trio of gaming 00:25:19.990 --> 00:25:23.589 competitiveness again yeah so yeah yeah Bang 00:25:23.589 --> 00:25:29.769 on, Xbox is moving towards the PC streaming thing. 00:25:30.549 --> 00:25:34.329 Let me have a look. I don't want to watch a video 00:25:34.329 --> 00:25:40.089 of it. I want to see a breakdown of it because 00:25:40.089 --> 00:25:44.089 there's already been a hands -on with the Steam 00:25:44.089 --> 00:25:45.950 machine and the controller and stuff like that. 00:25:46.069 --> 00:25:50.329 So people are aware of what's going on. Also, 00:25:50.390 --> 00:25:53.210 cool thing with the controller. because it's 00:25:53.210 --> 00:25:55.630 steam they've made it so that you can very very 00:25:55.630 --> 00:25:58.410 easily take apart the controller and see the 00:25:58.410 --> 00:25:59.990 inner workings and change things around with 00:25:59.990 --> 00:26:01.789 the controller it's held on it's like two screws 00:26:01.789 --> 00:26:04.769 so they encourage you to to take it apart and 00:26:04.769 --> 00:26:08.089 fuck around with it um So let's have a look. 00:26:08.269 --> 00:26:10.049 So this time around, instead of partnering with 00:26:10.049 --> 00:26:11.890 outside manufacturers, Valve is building and 00:26:11.890 --> 00:26:13.930 releasing a singular Steam machine with the goal 00:26:13.930 --> 00:26:16.490 of being able to run all current games at 4K 00:26:16.490 --> 00:26:19.390 with upscaling. The secret behind this is an 00:26:19.390 --> 00:26:24.410 AMD RDNA -free GPU with power roughly equivalent 00:26:24.410 --> 00:26:30.509 to an RTX 4060 or RX 7600 mobile graphics card. 00:26:30.609 --> 00:26:35.579 An RTX 4060 is chonky, decent. This might be 00:26:35.579 --> 00:26:37.500 disappointing to anyone looking to max out everything 00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:39.440 at high resolution, but it should have plenty 00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:41.420 of power while still being relatively affordable 00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:44.319 in brackets, we assume. Valve hasn't announced 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.039 a price for the thing yet. I spent a day at Valve 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.240 playing around with this new mini gaming PC, 00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:51.240 and while I haven't had the chance to run my 00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.740 usual gaming benchmarks, it looks like the new 00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:56.779 Steam Machine might be a serious contender for 00:26:56.779 --> 00:27:03.539 your living room space. This is by Jacqueline 00:27:03.539 --> 00:27:08.759 Thomas. by the way, over at IGN. But I need a 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.819 breakdown. On the surface, the new... I don't 00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:13.480 know why they're calling it the new steam machine. 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.440 I know it's new, but saying the new steam machine 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.079 makes it sound like there was an old steam machine. 00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:23.259 Which I'm pretty sure there wasn't. Oh, seems 00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:26.599 a lot like the old steam machine. What's the 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:28.240 old steam? I'm going to have to go off track 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.740 here to have a look at the old steam machine 00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:31.180 because I don't know what that is. What do you 00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:34.039 need to know about steam machines? They were 00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:41.319 a thing? What? Steam Machines are console -sized 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:43.900 computers that feature PC components, run Valve's 00:27:43.900 --> 00:27:45.900 Linux -based operating system, SteamOS, and are 00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:48.079 compatible with Valve's wireless systems. It 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.160 comes with a slick... Oh, they did have things 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:52.700 like that before then, but they were partnered 00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:57.440 with someone else. Okay, let me go back. So... 00:27:57.789 --> 00:27:59.569 Blah blah blah, they're both gaming PCs with 00:27:59.569 --> 00:28:02.069 a modest spec and meant to run games on Valve's 00:28:02.069 --> 00:28:04.730 own Linux -based SteamOS, but while the original 00:28:04.730 --> 00:28:07.089 machines had trouble selling, mostly due to high 00:28:07.089 --> 00:28:09.490 prices and a lack of Linux capability at the 00:28:09.490 --> 00:28:11.390 time, SteamOS has changed a lot over the last 00:28:11.390 --> 00:28:13.970 decade. The biggest part of this is Proton, Valve's 00:28:13.970 --> 00:28:15.950 compatibility layer that essentially translates 00:28:15.950 --> 00:28:18.450 Windows games to Linux, allowing you to play 00:28:18.450 --> 00:28:21.410 most of Steam's vast catalogue of games on SteamOS, 00:28:21.609 --> 00:28:23.569 even if they don't officially support Linux. 00:28:23.750 --> 00:28:26.089 Anyone that's used a Steam Deck over the last 00:28:26.089 --> 00:28:28.099 few years will know that most games run extremely 00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:30.880 well on steam os sometimes even with performance 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.779 that exceeds equivalent windows 11 machines as 00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:36.660 was the case with the steam os version of lenovo 00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:39.960 legion go s the um there are a few exceptions 00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:42.039 notably some online multiplayer games with anti 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:44.140 -cheat software that doesn't play nice with steam 00:28:44.140 --> 00:28:47.019 os like battlefield 6 and destiny 2 but for the 00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:48.799 most part if it's on steam it will run on steam 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:55.190 os um the pc so whilst i was at valve playing 00:28:55.190 --> 00:28:57.170 games on the steam machine the company had a 00:28:57.170 --> 00:28:59.130 wide variety of games installed to show it off 00:28:59.130 --> 00:29:02.269 the pc ran everything from cyberpunk 2077 to 00:29:02.269 --> 00:29:04.529 silent hill f without any major issues though 00:29:04.529 --> 00:29:06.269 the latter did have some performance trouble 00:29:06.269 --> 00:29:08.130 obviously once i get the steam machine in the 00:29:08.130 --> 00:29:10.309 lab i'll be able to run a wider variety of games 00:29:10.309 --> 00:29:12.049 just to see how flexible it is but for the time 00:29:12.049 --> 00:29:18.299 being it seems like most games will run Valve 00:29:18.299 --> 00:29:20.180 is also taking the Steam Deck verified program 00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:22.420 from the Steam Deck and duplicating it for the 00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:24.420 Steam Machine. Soon there will be three different 00:29:24.420 --> 00:29:26.880 verification badges, one for the Steam Deck, 00:29:27.019 --> 00:29:30.119 Steam Machine and the Steam Frame, the company's 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.480 new VR headset, because the hardware isn't actually 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.880 out yet. I'm not sure how widespread this will 00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:39.140 be, blah -de -blah -de -blah. Doesn't look like 00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:41.380 one. It's a tiny little black box with a slim 00:29:41.380 --> 00:29:45.650 RGB light bar across the front. The cube measures 00:29:45.650 --> 00:29:48.250 roughly six to seven inches on each side and 00:29:48.250 --> 00:29:51.089 appears less than half the size of the Xbox Series 00:29:51.089 --> 00:29:55.670 X. It's closer in size to a GameCube. Front panel 00:29:55.670 --> 00:30:00.210 is magnetic, can be swapped out. I saw a steam 00:30:00.210 --> 00:30:03.289 machine with a wood panel, which contrasted beautifully 00:30:03.289 --> 00:30:06.710 with the rest of the all -black chassis. Valve 00:30:06.710 --> 00:30:10.690 hasn't confirmed whether or not it will be selling 00:30:10.690 --> 00:30:13.269 alternative front panels. But the company will 00:30:13.269 --> 00:30:15.569 release 3D printing files so you can make your 00:30:15.569 --> 00:30:18.910 own. Even that's quite nice. Yes. Because this 00:30:18.910 --> 00:30:22.390 is a desktop PC, there's a wealth of ports on 00:30:22.390 --> 00:30:26.349 offer with two USB -A ports, a microSD port at 00:30:26.349 --> 00:30:28.210 the front. In the back, you'll find a display 00:30:28.210 --> 00:30:32.210 port, HDMI, two USB -A ports, and a USB -C port, 00:30:32.289 --> 00:30:34.509 along with a power connector. What's impressive, 00:30:34.569 --> 00:30:36.730 considering the machine size, is that the actual 00:30:36.730 --> 00:30:39.329 power supply is internal, which means you don't 00:30:39.329 --> 00:30:41.529 have to worry about fitting a giant power brick 00:30:41.529 --> 00:30:45.059 in your entertainment centre. A thin little cable 00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:47.660 prints. So this fucking brick here that you see 00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:51.160 won't fucking exist. That's great. That's amazing. 00:30:51.420 --> 00:30:54.319 I love that. Valve did open the steam machine 00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.670 so I could get a brief look inside. And what 00:30:56.670 --> 00:30:59.150 I saw was impressive. A bulk of the space is 00:30:59.150 --> 00:31:01.630 taken up by a giant heat sink, which has an exhaust 00:31:01.630 --> 00:31:04.390 fan at the back that sucks air through the front 00:31:04.390 --> 00:31:06.670 and bottom of the device and expels it through 00:31:06.670 --> 00:31:09.430 the rear to keep the device operating cool. It's 00:31:09.430 --> 00:31:11.049 a bold design, especially considering the Steam 00:31:11.049 --> 00:31:13.809 Machine's GPU is operating with a TDP, thermal 00:31:13.809 --> 00:31:17.509 design power, of 110 to 130 watts, blah, blah, 00:31:17.569 --> 00:31:21.390 blah. The bottom of the device houses the SSD, 00:31:21.529 --> 00:31:25.109 which will either be a 512GB or a 2TB drive, 00:31:25.269 --> 00:31:27.369 depending on which version you buy. The drive 00:31:27.369 --> 00:31:29.410 is easily replaceable by the user. Just like 00:31:29.410 --> 00:31:32.029 the Steam Deck, the Steam Machine will ship with 00:31:32.029 --> 00:31:38.789 an NVMe 2230 drive. However, unlike valves handheld, 00:31:39.150 --> 00:31:43.430 the SSD slot has space for a full -sized 2280 00:31:43.430 --> 00:31:46.109 drive, which are both more affordable and easier 00:31:46.109 --> 00:31:49.170 to find on store shelves. Don't get too hopeful 00:31:49.170 --> 00:31:50.750 about upgrading the device beyond the storage, 00:31:50.849 --> 00:31:52.829 though. The rest of the components are soldered 00:31:52.829 --> 00:31:57.170 on and will not be upgradeable. That is a little 00:31:57.170 --> 00:32:01.150 bit disappointing. It says, especially given 00:32:01.150 --> 00:32:02.950 Valve's history of letting its users do whatever 00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:05.730 they want with their hardware. Blah, blah, blah, 00:32:05.769 --> 00:32:08.410 blah, blah. The Steam Machine will also be available 00:32:08.410 --> 00:32:10.450 with the new Steam Controller or without one, 00:32:10.490 --> 00:32:13.109 no matter whether or not you have the Steam Machine 00:32:13.109 --> 00:32:15.089 bundled with the controller or not, though. The 00:32:15.089 --> 00:32:17.559 PC will have the controller. controllers wireless 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:20.500 dongle built in yeah that's quite cool so the 00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:23.839 so the dongle for the controller that they're 00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:27.599 bringing out is built into the pc itself it sits 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.779 on the side on the inside of the casing which 00:32:30.779 --> 00:32:32.380 is quite cool they're calling it a little antenna 00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:38.400 um uh yeah so come with the wireless dongle uh 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:43.819 tying things up with the rgb light bar with 13 00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:47.930 lighting zones So, lastly, I don't know what 00:32:47.930 --> 00:32:49.369 kind of software Valve is cooking up for the 00:32:49.369 --> 00:32:51.430 lighting control, though, blah, blah, blah. Bloody, 00:32:51.450 --> 00:32:52.930 bloody, blah, blah, blah. Specs and performance. 00:32:53.950 --> 00:32:57.089 This is the last bit that we want, yes? Agreed. 00:32:57.329 --> 00:32:59.509 The Steam Machine is powered by a custom chip 00:32:59.509 --> 00:33:03.710 made by AMD and Valve with an RDNA -free GPU 00:33:03.710 --> 00:33:06.369 with 28 compute units, bloody, bloody, blah, 00:33:06.470 --> 00:33:08.230 which would place it roughly around the blah, 00:33:08.250 --> 00:33:10.109 blah, blah. We've spoken about that. Not exactly 00:33:10.109 --> 00:33:12.670 the best graphics chip out there. This is paired 00:33:12.670 --> 00:33:17.539 with a six -core lab... 6 core Zen 4 CPU. But 00:33:17.539 --> 00:33:20.279 despite the modest specs, the Steam Machine seems 00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:24.279 to be a capable gaming PC. I played Cyberpunk 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.400 2077 at 4K with the Ultra preset and FSR to set 00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:32.539 performance. set to performance and the action 00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:35.220 stayed nice and smooth i even went into the settings 00:33:35.220 --> 00:33:37.619 menu and turned on ray tracing and performance 00:33:37.619 --> 00:33:39.980 seemed to stay solid though i didn't have a frame 00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:42.039 counter up telling me exactly what kind of frame 00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:44.099 rate i was getting things were slightly different 00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:46.400 with silent hill f though after a lengthy process 00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:48.559 of installing the shaders something every game 00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.680 seems to need to do these days it defaulted to 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:56.940 ultra settings at 4k with um with fucking TSR, 00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:00.220 in brackets, temporal super resolution, instead 00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:03.319 of AMD's FSR. At these settings, Silent Hill 00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:05.680 struggled, chugging along at what seemed like 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.880 15 to 20 frames per second, not exactly what 00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.199 I'd call playable. After adjusting the settings 00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.440 down to a medium, at 1440p with FSR enabled, 00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:17.639 things felt much better. But this just highlights 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:20.280 that the Steam Machine is still a gaming PC at 00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.539 the end of the day, for better or worse. Tweaking 00:34:22.539 --> 00:34:25.639 settings to optimize performance is a time -honored 00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:29.179 tradition among gaming PC gamers, but again, 00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:30.860 might be less appealing to people who just want 00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:35.039 to plug in and play. Valve says it intends for, 00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:36.820 there isn't much left, there's like one paragraph. 00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:40.760 Valve says it intends for the Steam machine to 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:43.699 be able to play all current games at 4K with 00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:47.239 FSR, upscaling, but there are going to be plenty 00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:49.500 of games, especially ones running on Unreal Engine 00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:51.940 5, where you'll have to lower settings to get 00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:54.480 it running at a smooth frame rate. Ultimately, 00:34:54.579 --> 00:35:00.440 I'll have to get in the lab to benchmark. I'm 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:10.179 sold. Me too. I'm guessing... I'm guessing you 00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:12.940 can get a keyboard and mouse for this shit. Yeah, 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.059 it's a PC. That's what all the ports and everything 00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:17.159 are. Yeah, you'd be able to... Yo, I don't want 00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:19.400 to fucking plug it in. You wouldn't have to. 00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:21.139 You could still Bluetooth it. Yeah, that's what 00:35:21.139 --> 00:35:24.800 I mean. Bluetooth it and then just be a... Pardon 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:27.760 me, be a PC but you can sit on your sofa. It's 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:31.900 a PC. It is a PC. You can connect a keyboard 00:35:31.900 --> 00:35:34.300 and a mouse to your Steam Deck. Oh, that just 00:35:34.300 --> 00:35:36.619 sounds mental. I've already got... That's too 00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:39.460 confusing. I know it's the same. You use Bluetooth. 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:42.719 I know, but you've got a Steam Deck. It's a fucking 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.300 Steam Deck. Then plugged into a dock, which is 00:35:45.300 --> 00:35:47.960 plugged into the telly. And then I'm using a 00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.219 fucking PlayStation 5 controller via Bluetooth. 00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:51.980 And then I'm going to connect a keyboard. That 00:35:51.980 --> 00:35:54.940 sounds like too much bullshit. What I want is 00:35:54.940 --> 00:35:57.789 a machine that I go... and then i'm ready to 00:35:57.789 --> 00:35:59.630 go well this is what you're gonna have if you 00:35:59.630 --> 00:36:02.210 get if you get the steam machine the fact that 00:36:02.210 --> 00:36:04.369 it doesn't have a power brick an external power 00:36:04.369 --> 00:36:08.190 brick i think is amazing yeah um because that 00:36:08.190 --> 00:36:10.989 is one of the ball lakes of having having something 00:36:10.989 --> 00:36:14.750 like a laptop um especially if you obviously 00:36:14.750 --> 00:36:16.630 it wouldn't be that big but imagine still half 00:36:16.630 --> 00:36:18.860 the size of that If that was part of it and you 00:36:18.860 --> 00:36:21.679 were trying to plug a steam machine into the 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:23.340 telly, you've now got to find somewhere to rest 00:36:23.340 --> 00:36:26.099 that. Because they're heavy, you can't just have 00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:28.699 them dangling either because it fucks the cables 00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:30.840 up. So the fact that you haven't got that, so 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.300 you will just have the cable, is fantastic. So 00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:37.670 I'm going to assume... If you've Bluetooth, if 00:36:37.670 --> 00:36:40.550 you've wirelessly connected your keyboard and 00:36:40.550 --> 00:36:42.429 your mouse to it, that's all you're going to 00:36:42.429 --> 00:36:44.409 have to do is have this little cube and it's 00:36:44.409 --> 00:36:46.849 going to be two plugs, an HDMI for the telly 00:36:46.849 --> 00:36:52.250 and a fucking power plug. That is it. Which is 00:36:52.250 --> 00:36:55.250 piss. My laptop has more than that going on with 00:36:55.250 --> 00:36:57.090 all the fucking other stuff. I just have a real, 00:36:57.110 --> 00:37:01.750 real fucking love for shit like where I can just 00:37:01.750 --> 00:37:05.170 play that. and then be like, right, I'm fucking 00:37:05.170 --> 00:37:08.409 loving this shit, but I've got to go and stay 00:37:08.409 --> 00:37:10.309 at my in -laws to look after their dogs, and 00:37:10.309 --> 00:37:12.070 I'll just take my Steam Deck. Yeah. And I can 00:37:12.070 --> 00:37:14.389 carry on what I was doing. That is just great. 00:37:14.550 --> 00:37:17.449 Or you just unplug the little Steam machine and 00:37:17.449 --> 00:37:19.630 take it with you. Just take the cube. You can 00:37:19.630 --> 00:37:21.570 put it in your pocket, for fuck's sake. It's 00:37:21.570 --> 00:37:24.969 smaller than a GameCube. You can literally just 00:37:24.969 --> 00:37:28.269 pick it up, pull it in your bag. And a magnetic 00:37:28.269 --> 00:37:31.750 faceplate. The front. I've seen the one with 00:37:31.750 --> 00:37:33.409 a wooden... Have you seen the one with the wooden 00:37:33.409 --> 00:37:35.309 faceplate? I saw the one where they replaced 00:37:35.309 --> 00:37:38.170 it on the thing, on the trailer. The wooden... 00:37:38.170 --> 00:37:40.389 It just looks amazing. I didn't care. I'll just 00:37:40.389 --> 00:37:42.170 get Darth Vader. It looks so good. Darth Vader 00:37:42.170 --> 00:37:46.730 on the front, looking menacing. Yeah. I think 00:37:46.730 --> 00:37:51.550 it looks... It will just be the same as a Steam 00:37:51.550 --> 00:37:55.409 Deck, but a PC version. I love Steam, I do. I 00:37:55.409 --> 00:37:58.079 would imagine it will have the same... to be 00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:00.099 able to swap in and out like with Steam Deck 00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:03.440 from SteamOS to Linux, which I'm going to assume 00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:06.579 you haven't done. I did it once and it terrified 00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:10.260 me, so I turned it back. That's fine. It terrified 00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:13.699 me too. But I'm going to assume it will be the 00:38:13.699 --> 00:38:16.320 same thing. So the OS will be exactly the same 00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:21.840 as Steam Deck. I just think Steam is just a great 00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:26.920 company. Every day, every single day, I see Reddit 00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:28.920 posts. I don't know why I get notifications of 00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:31.599 random shit from Reddit, but I do. And every 00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:33.840 day it's someone saying, my Steam Deck broke 00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:35.519 and it was three years out of warranty and I 00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:38.920 asked them fucking for a new charger and they 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:40.500 just sent me a new Steam Deck. And it's just 00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:43.579 like, why are they so brilliant? And I'll tell 00:38:43.579 --> 00:38:46.059 you why they're brilliant. Because it keeps customers 00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:48.039 for life. Well, here you go. You was wondering. 00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:51.260 why you would have this rather than just docking 00:38:51.260 --> 00:38:53.480 your Steam Deck. While the Steam Deck is plenty 00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:57.579 powerful for running PC games on its 800p display. 00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.599 It can't really handle higher resolutions very 00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:02.480 well, especially when you connect it to a 4K 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:04.880 TV. The Steam Machine then is the answer. This 00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.380 is a living room gaming PC that should be able 00:39:07.380 --> 00:39:10.420 to play most games at 4K, assuming you're okay 00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:12.679 with upscaling from 1080p, but of course most 00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:14.860 gaming PCs should be able to do that these days. 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.860 And while the Steam Machine will have to be contended 00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:20.300 with similarly specced gaming PCs that can be 00:39:20.300 --> 00:39:22.460 upgraded, I don't think this is for the traditional 00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:25.340 DIY hardware enthusiast. Rather, this feels more 00:39:25.340 --> 00:39:28.300 like a PC for console gamers. which is fucking 00:39:28.300 --> 00:39:32.280 you and probably me. People who don't play games 00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:35.139 on PC until the Steam Deck hit the market in 00:39:35.139 --> 00:39:38.099 2022, which is you, it runs the same operating 00:39:38.099 --> 00:39:40.539 system and has the same library, only it will 00:39:40.539 --> 00:39:42.659 be able to play games at much higher settings. 00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.380 After all, Valve claims the Steam Machine is 00:39:45.380 --> 00:39:47.780 up to six times more powerful than the Steam 00:39:47.780 --> 00:39:50.820 Deck, so it should avoid situations like Baldur's 00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:53.280 Gate 3, where the second you load into Act 3 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:55.920 on the handheld, your frame rate slows to a crawl. 00:39:56.670 --> 00:39:59.409 So if the Steam Deck, this last paragraph is 00:39:59.409 --> 00:40:01.590 for you. So if the Steam Deck made you flirt 00:40:01.590 --> 00:40:04.389 with the idea of PC gaming, which it did, the 00:40:04.389 --> 00:40:06.469 Steam Machine looks like it will be a great next 00:40:06.469 --> 00:40:08.710 step, especially as games get increasingly more 00:40:08.710 --> 00:40:10.789 demanding as we head into the next generation 00:40:10.789 --> 00:40:13.550 of consoles. For everyone else that already had 00:40:13.550 --> 00:40:15.550 a gaming PC, at least the hardware support for 00:40:15.550 --> 00:40:18.389 SteamOS is starting to broaden a bit. I've got 00:40:18.389 --> 00:40:21.429 a gaming PC, though, and it's sick. Yeah. I don't 00:40:21.429 --> 00:40:24.130 use it. Yeah. I wonder if you'll know this straight 00:40:24.130 --> 00:40:26.250 away, I imagine. Do you reckon you could play 00:40:26.250 --> 00:40:30.449 WoW on that? Yes. Because you can switch it over 00:40:30.449 --> 00:40:33.949 to the browser thing. Yes. Interesting. You'd 00:40:33.949 --> 00:40:38.050 have to follow the same guide that I would imagine 00:40:38.050 --> 00:40:40.349 that you have to follow on Steam Deck because 00:40:40.349 --> 00:40:42.530 it's run through Linux. So you have to download 00:40:42.530 --> 00:40:45.269 loads of shit. But yeah, you would be able to... 00:40:45.269 --> 00:40:46.809 The same way you could run it on Steam Deck, 00:40:46.849 --> 00:40:50.550 you'd be able to run it on the Steam machine. 00:40:52.389 --> 00:40:55.349 I know, it's quite cool. That was my... it was 00:40:55.349 --> 00:41:02.429 quite cool but obviously fucking they're bringing 00:41:02.429 --> 00:41:08.769 what was it where I was talking about where I 00:41:08.769 --> 00:41:11.610 can't remember where Battle .net got mentioned 00:41:11.610 --> 00:41:13.650 as it's going to be able to run on oh yeah the 00:41:13.650 --> 00:41:17.110 next Xbox that's coming out that will probably 00:41:17.110 --> 00:41:20.550 be a PC rather than an Xbox console will run 00:41:20.550 --> 00:41:24.039 natively Battle .net It will be an application 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:26.679 that's already on there, hinting at the idea 00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:30.719 that WoW will be coming to console in the very 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:33.559 near future. So yeah, you would be able to download 00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:36.960 World of Warcraft onto the Steam machine. I'm 00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:38.679 going to imagine the same way you do on the Steam 00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:43.360 Deck. Arguably, it might be even easier. I'm 00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.099 going to assume, even though it's the same operating 00:41:45.099 --> 00:41:49.500 system, it won't be exactly carbon copied. The 00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:53.280 SteamOS maybe, but the Linux side of it... difficult 00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:58.719 to tell certainly be easier to to work with um 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:01.719 because your because your main issue with with 00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:03.320 having the laptop was that you couldn't set it 00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.400 up comfortably wouldn't it really yeah but then 00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:09.820 the same thing will happen on the on this though 00:42:09.820 --> 00:42:12.380 because then i'll just have to have a keyboard 00:42:12.380 --> 00:42:15.619 and mouse on my lap never you you were also able 00:42:15.619 --> 00:42:18.900 to play it with controller pretty well so you'd 00:42:18.900 --> 00:42:22.260 be able to a standard yeah so you would you would 00:42:22.260 --> 00:42:25.159 be able to set it up and just kick back with 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:27.900 a controller instead but also since the last 00:42:27.900 --> 00:42:29.980 time you played fucking well they brought out 00:42:29.980 --> 00:42:33.460 a one button rotation so for the for the immediate 00:42:33.460 --> 00:42:35.780 whilst you'd be learning it you can literally 00:42:35.780 --> 00:42:38.780 you can literally have it so that it's one button 00:42:38.780 --> 00:42:41.219 does your entire rotation and your cooldowns 00:42:41.219 --> 00:42:42.940 are separate so you still click them individually 00:42:42.940 --> 00:42:45.219 but it's literally one button that just cycles 00:42:45.219 --> 00:42:49.679 through and it's Extremely intuitive. So it's 00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:51.000 able to change on a... I think you've mentioned 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:55.780 this before, but you miss out on 0 .3 of damage, 00:42:55.820 --> 00:42:57.760 and then obviously for the min -maxes, that's 00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:01.639 no good. It's still competitive, which is the 00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:03.719 scary thing. A lot of people use it... It's just 00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:07.079 cheating then, isn't it? Really? It's accessibility. 00:43:08.019 --> 00:43:10.539 It's what it's branded as. Yeah, it's accessibility, 00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:15.019 but unless that gap's large enough, it's cheating. 00:43:15.530 --> 00:43:18.449 It has to be a clear... If you go into a fight 00:43:18.449 --> 00:43:20.309 with someone... It's large enough. You've played 00:43:20.309 --> 00:43:21.730 it long enough. If you go into a fight with someone 00:43:21.730 --> 00:43:23.809 that does that, if you can't kill them comfortably, 00:43:24.150 --> 00:43:26.269 I'd say that's cheating. You can. It's large 00:43:26.269 --> 00:43:28.789 enough for you to not use it typically on the 00:43:28.789 --> 00:43:30.130 end game. I don't know if people do, because 00:43:30.130 --> 00:43:34.070 you can. But that is where it's heading towards 00:43:34.070 --> 00:43:37.150 that console release and trying to work that 00:43:37.150 --> 00:43:38.869 out. But I'm saying, if you were to have the 00:43:38.869 --> 00:43:41.969 Steam Machine... get wow on that and then you 00:43:41.969 --> 00:43:43.789 wanted to play it on controller but it was too 00:43:43.789 --> 00:43:47.230 daunting at the time there's a button there now 00:43:47.230 --> 00:43:49.829 that enables you to get to break through into 00:43:49.829 --> 00:43:52.690 that and then start working out go alright well 00:43:52.690 --> 00:43:54.510 I want to move away from just one button so that 00:43:54.510 --> 00:43:57.070 I can use multiple buttons so rather than you 00:43:57.070 --> 00:43:59.409 jumping in going fuck there's 50 abilities and 00:43:59.409 --> 00:44:01.389 I have to somehow macro them to a controller 00:44:01.389 --> 00:44:06.070 no now there's one one main button in your cooldowns 00:44:06.070 --> 00:44:08.829 very very interesting very interesting what's 00:44:08.829 --> 00:44:12.010 the buttons? What's the buttons, exactly? What's 00:44:12.010 --> 00:44:15.030 the buttons for this? I'm excited for it. The 00:44:15.030 --> 00:44:17.929 VR, neither of us are interested in VR, but I 00:44:17.929 --> 00:44:20.590 am interested in the hardware that's come with 00:44:20.590 --> 00:44:23.409 it. So this VR headset that they've announced, 00:44:23.690 --> 00:44:31.650 the VR frame, has eye tracking on the headset 00:44:31.650 --> 00:44:34.289 itself. It looks very comfortable. It looks like 00:44:34.289 --> 00:44:36.230 a big, massive pair of goggles that just engulf 00:44:36.230 --> 00:44:39.179 the fucking eyeballs of your face. Something 00:44:39.179 --> 00:44:44.340 that you'd notice with the PlayStation VR is 00:44:44.340 --> 00:44:48.400 that trying to focus it is a right cunt, and 00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:50.880 whenever you move it, it blurs certain aspects 00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:54.599 of it. That won't be a thing on the Steam VR, 00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:57.579 so where it will be independently tracking your 00:44:57.579 --> 00:45:01.340 eyes. It's also got local storage, as far as 00:45:01.340 --> 00:45:05.079 I'm aware, so streaming won't be so much of an 00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:10.130 issue. It will run better. other than that i 00:45:10.130 --> 00:45:13.869 couldn't really give a fuck it's wireless which 00:45:13.869 --> 00:45:16.610 is always nice we love a wireless headset especially 00:45:16.610 --> 00:45:20.130 for vr that's something that very very nice it's 00:45:20.130 --> 00:45:22.570 not the only one that we do in it but very nice 00:45:22.570 --> 00:45:30.070 um so yeah that's all i'll say i think it's fantastical 00:45:30.070 --> 00:45:34.250 and i can't wait to play it like And I will definitely 00:45:34.250 --> 00:45:37.409 fucking buy it because I'm a greedy cunt. And 00:45:37.409 --> 00:45:43.010 that is about it. See you later, everyone. We're 00:45:43.010 --> 00:45:43.809 going to go and do the patron.
