It's a confusing time right now for gaming. Video games are becoming an increasingly expensive hobby. Games are expensive to make, too, and companies want to sell the most lucrative ones they can: Sony and Microsoft are cutting jobs to refocus on blockbusters. At the same time, we've got more ways to play than ever: handhelds, phones, even cloud gaming is getting better. So where are we headed? Today on The Vergecast, Sean Hollister asks that question of Shuhei Yoshida, who spent 31 years at Sony playing games and figuring out what gamers will pay for.

Beim Preis der Steam Machine (ab gut 1000 Euro) drängt sich die Frage auf, ob man sie nicht auch aus Einzelkomponenten selber bauen kann. Ja, das kann man – und es wird zwar nicht billiger, sondern rund 300 Euro teurer, dafür aber wesentlich flexibler und auch leistungsstärker. Was für Hardware haben wir für die „c'team Machine“ verwendet? Was ist Steam OS für ein System und warum ist es spannend? Und wo sind seine Vorteile? Wie läuft die Installation ab? Und wie offen oder verriegelt ist dieses System? Diese und mehr Fragen klären wir in dieser Folge des c't uplink.

Reinul on Steam Frame juba käes. Kuidas, miks ja kas see on ka olnud kogu seda ootamist väärt? Võtame pikalt ette kõik need Blizzardi väikesed uudised, nagu Diablo V ja Starcrafti FPS. Lisaks räägime võimalikust olulisest muudatusest Game Passis ja räägime edasi Kojima saagast. Martin räägib enda katkisest PS5 puldist ja kuidas see niimoodi läks, Rein on mänginud Valheimi ja Rainer jagab enda Steam Machine'i muljeid. Soovitus on Humble Bundle'i rollikate ja Sniper Elite'i pakid.

¡Que pasa locos!Esta semana venimos fuertes con el episodio 431. Empezamos con Marco llegando tarde al búnker, pero con ganas de guerra. Debatimos sobre *Ocarina of Time*, las ediciones especiales de Nintendo y la eterna duda de si la Steam Deck merece o no la pena.Joakin nos trae sus impresiones de *Dawnwalker* y nos cuenta por qué prefiere ir sobrado de nivel a comerse misiones secundarias. También repasamos el *hate* que está recibiendo *Wolverine* por esa misión de la moto en la que literalmente te la pasas sin tocar el mando.Entramos de lleno en nuestro tema central: la crisis estructural de la industria de los videojuegos. Hablamos de los presupuestos inflados de los juegos Triple A, la inevitable vuelta de los Doble A, la revolución de la IA en el desarrollo, y nos preguntamos si acabaremos pagando más de 1.000€ por una futura PlayStation 6.Además, leemos vuestros comentarios con un intenso debate sobre si películas como *Coco* o *Toy Story 3* son realmente para adultos, analizamos el exigente rompecabezas *Blue Prince*, y cerramos con una anécdota imperdible: la desastrosa "Compra del CEO" en la que Marco casi muere asfixiado intentando dormir con una manta de 9 kilos.¡Esperemos que os guste!

Beim Controller wurde ComputerBase "ignoriert", bei der Steam Machine in zweiter Runde bedacht - doch bei der Steam Frame hatte Jan direkt zum Start die Chance das neue VR-System von Valve ausgiebig zu testen. Was er dabei erfahren hat und wie er die beiden Modi "Standalone" und "Streaming" sowie das Headset in Summe einordnet, erörtert er in diese Episode gemeinsam mit Fabian, der sich aus Italien meldet. Im Anschluss erzählt Jan von seinem Erstkontakt mit Nvidia RTX Spark zur IFA. Im Oktober soll es jetzt so weit sein. Aber für wen sind Notebooks mit RTX Spark überhaupt einen Blick wert? Zum Schluss geht's (sorry!) mal wieder um die RTX 5090. Die ist zuletzt abermals deutlich teurer geworden und immer schwerer überhaupt zu bekommen. Umso besser, dass es mit der RTX Pro 5500 den gleichen Chip jetzt auch mit 84 GB Speicher zu kaufen gibt...? Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Üllataval kombel oleme jõunud 700. saateni! Aga suure pidutsemise asemel räägime sellest, mida Nintendo näitas, kuidas on Valheimi 1.0 versioon, mis sürrust teevad taaskord Xbox ja Playstation ja miks Rainer ikka Borderlands 4 küüsis on. Ja videoversiooni vaatajad näevad ka Raineri esmareaktsiooni Steam Machine'ile ja Steam Controllerile.  Lingid: https://www.eurogamer.net/everything-announced-legend-of-zelda-40th-anniversary-nintendo-direct https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-direct-heres-everything-announced-during-nintendos-presentation/  https://www.eurogamer.net/stage-fright-overcooked-studio-first-gameplay https://www.eurogamer.net/physint-kojima-playstation-xbox-publishing-changes https://www.techspot.com/news/113754-you-can-now-play-ps3-games-straight-disc.html https://www.gamesradar.com/games/platformer/ubisoft-answers-our-prayers-of-a-simpler-launch-experience-on-steam-by-axing-its-own-pc-launcher-starting-with-prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown/ https://www.thegamer.com/skyrim-ikea-update-matt-berry-bookcase-cabinet/ https://www.eurogamer.net/xbox-cloud-gaming-hourly-cap-break-even-point https://tipilan.ee/en

¡Qué pasa, locos!¡Ya estamos de vuelta al completo y con las pilas cargadas! Tras unos programas en cuadro, por fin nos volvemos a juntar con Gringo en la mesa para traeros un episodio 429 completito.Arrancamos con las primeras impresiones de Blood of the Dawnwalker, el nuevo y esperado título de los exdesarrolladores de CD Projekt Red. Sangre, ambientación oscura y opiniones encontradas: ¿obra de culto o el límite de tiempo va a volver loco a más de uno?Por si fuera poco, Gringo se pone a los mandos para analizar con su particular lupa el tráiler de GTA VI, dejándonos su visión sin filtros sobre lo nuevo de Rockstar. Además, repasamos el salseo y las noticias más destacadas de la semana.Y para cerrar, Joakin Dead saca el mazo de juez supremo para ponerle nota y sentencia final a Mortal Shell 2. ¿Habrá superado su exigente listón soulslike o el combate final le habrá aguado la fiesta?¡Esperemos que os guste!

Tänases Algorütmi episoodis räägime, kuidas pandi tehisaru lokaalselt jooksma masinas, mis on mõeldud hoopis mängukonsooliks. Vaatame, kuidas Steam Machine'ist sai vaikne kodune AI-server.Arutame, kuidas Anthropic, MCP, Tailscale ja lokaalsed mudelid üheks süsteemiks kokku saavad ning miks kõike ei ole mõistlik pilve saata. Räägime ka eestikeelsest kõnetuvastusest ja kõnesünteesist, mudelite jooksutamisest piiratud RAM-i ja VRAM-iga ning sellest, milline roll võiks lokaalsel AI-l tulevikus kodudes ja ettevõtetes olla.Külas on Kairo Koik, Baltic LEI CTO.Jaga meile enda jaoks olulisimat mõtet episoodist meie Discord kanalis: https://discord.gg/8X5JTkDxccEpisoodi veavad Priit Liivak, Eerik Jõgi ja Martin KappAlgorütmi toetavadLHV https://www.lhv.ee/Nortal https://nortal.com/Codeborne https://codeborne.com/

A new console generation fast approaches whether we want it or not. The anticipation is usually palpable but something about this last generation left many feeling like it was unfulfilled. Then you have the recent AI RAMpocalypse that will inevitably lead to the highest console prices yet. All that leads us to the question, do we need another console generation? 00:00 - 01:21 Intro 01:22 - 09:54 Housekeeping 09:55 - 01:18:48 What are we watching/playing 1:18:49 - 1:54:09 Parallel Points 1:54:10 - 2:02:40 Physical vs digital talk and cost breakdown 2:02:41 - 2:10:23 Steam Machine talk 2:10:24 - 2:50:07 Next Gen Consoles breakdown/UNREAL Engine talk 2:50:08 - 2:54:42 Outro Hosts: Chris Trio & Anthony Ragucci Join our community! https://discord.gg/sTwgsXYGwc Watch us live on twitch at https://twitch.tv/delconerdnetwork Follow Us! https://linktr.ee/delconerds Intro and Outro Music by Alex Rome. https://www.youtube.com/AlexRome Lower Thirds By Alejandro Hernandez https://alejandrojhernandez.com Table by House of Me https://www.instagram.com/athomewithelm/ https://www.athomewithelm.com/

In a time where game preservation feels it matters the least, here comes some much needed news. Leaked via The Verge, we now know Xbox is accelerating a program dedicated to preserving your games dating back to the original Xbox generation. That much has been known thanks to a program greenlit by Sarah Bond during her time at Xbox. However, the new wrinkle is not only that Xbox 360 games are headed to PC, but also that the backwards compatible library stands a chance to expand beyond what we already know. Now, the catch is that other developers would have to play ball, but more from a greenlight standpoint rather than any additional engineering. The icing on the cake? Xbox is finally bringing its platinum trophy equivalent to the platform. After two generations of waiting, they'll finally be getting with the times and you won't have to wait much longer to hear about it thanks to Asha Sharma. Plus: Xbox's "platform" game focus, more absolutely dismal news for Halo, the unaffordability of console gaming, and so much more!

Wir haben eine Steam Machine gekauft, Andre und Sebastian haben sie jeweils gut eine Woche lang benutzt und jetzt reden wir drüber! Insbesondere haben wir uns auf die Frage konzentriert: Ist das jetzt wie eine Konsole, nur dass ich alle meine Steam-Games mitnehmen kann? Und die Antwort lautet: Nein. Wer denkt, mit der Steam Machine bekommt er die Zuverlässigkeit und den Komfort einer Konsole, verbunden mit den Preisen von Steam und dem Zugang zu Mods, der wird enttäuscht sein. Denn obwohl der Gabe-Cube ein cooles, kleines Ding ist, waren zumindest unsere Erfahrungen auch geprägt von vielen kleinen und großen Hürden, die auf einer traditionellen Konsole indiskutabel wären. Und trotzdem…ein kleines bisschen geil, war's schon.

This week we embark on a Big Walk, spend some quality handheld time with the Switch 2, finish Heave Ho 2 and Road to Empress II, ponder news like the closing of the deal taking EA private (and what seems like pending layoffs), some gaming-on-Linux updates, and Dave Bautista's growing go-to status for video game television, run through the shockingly small catalog of AO-rated games, and more.CHAPTERS(00:00:00) NOTE: Some timecodes may be inaccurate for versions other than the ad-free Patreon version due to dynamic ad insertions.

Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

As Master Chief said in 2001 and 2026: "I think we're just getting started." Ben brings on Matt James for a wide-ranging discussion of recent releases. First, inspired by Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey,' they examine why games aren't typically made, marketed, and analyzed through an auteurist lens like other media and whether that could ever change. Then they break down their experiences with two big-name shooters, original 'Halo' remake 'Halo: Campaign Evolved' and 'Splatoon Raiders,' before sharing their impressions of indie games 'Denshattack!,' 'The Incident at Galley House,' 'Zero Parades: For Dead Spies,' 'Esoteric Ebb,' and 'Tears of Metal,' as well as Netflix's new interactive experiment, 'Unhinged.' Finally, Steve Ahlman joins to describe his experience with Valve's Steam Machine so far.Intro (0:00)Directors discussion (3:27)'Halo: Campaign Evolved' (23:20)'Splatoon Raiders' (44:27)'Denshattack!' and indie game impressions (59:37)Steam Machine reactions (1:31:14:)Outro (1:49:51)Host: Ben LindberghGuests: Matt James and Steve AhlmanProducer: Devon RenaldoAdditional Production Support: Arjuna Ramgopowell Learn more about your ad choices.

Is the price reasonable or ridiculous? Who is this device actually for? We have much to discuss.
