Valve delays its Steam Machine to 2015
Valve just announced it's pushing the Steam Machine project to 2015 because it need more time to to work on it's controllers. The US-based firm said its video games PC unite will only see the daylight next year.
Tech specialist claim this is due to its very complicated controllers based on haptic-feedback trackpads. This will also affect more than ten third-party manufacturers like Alienware, Digital Storm, GigaByte or Zotac that were planning to sell their own Steam Manchine hardware.
“Obviously we are just as eager as you to get a Steam Machine in your hands. But out number one priority is making sure that when you do, you'll be getting the best gaming experience possible. We hope you will be patient with us while we get there. Until then, we'll continue to post update as we have more stories to share,” part of an official statement released by Valve Software.
Valve planned to deliver hard gaming experience to the living room. The Steam Box was designed as a high performance computer box for hard core gaming. However, the controller does not appear to be accurate especially when playing multiplayer shooters. Valve is still conducting test with industry professionals, hard core and casual gamers and it is using the feedback to rectify the controller.
Valve is best known for its smash hit games like Dota 2, Counter Strike Global Offensive, and Left 4 Dead but also for creating the Steam platform. The service is now the best selling marketplace for PC games.
