The Steam Universe is Expanding in 2014
« on: September 20, 2013, 08:12:46 pm »

ERMEGURD ITS HAPPENING


ENABLE SPECULATION BEAMS.

My theory. First is SteamOS, Second is SteamBox, or something with the PS4. And 3rd is cross platform play?

Obligatory Half Life 3 Confirmed.

Sounds like a steam-based console yeah.  That'd be pretty sweet I guess, but I already have one and I'm typing on it right now.

I don't think that it will be Half-Life Episode 3. And if/when it isn't, all the 3's are simply to troll people who will say that the 3's are there to signify that it is HL3.

I suspect that at least part of this will be the beta launch of the "family library sharing" that popped up a week and a half ago. SteamBox will likely be one of the other parts. Not sure on the third, possibly something to do with cats judging by the bottom of that page.

Looking forward to FAMILY LIBRARY SHARING. It seems like a fun idea.

It's clearly a console announcement. I mean: they directly talk about the Big Picture technology, rumours of a 'Steam Box' have beel flying around for months, there's a controller on the website, and the website URL is "livingroom".

The interesting claim, from my perspective, is from Reddit. Apparently, Valve have no fewer than three big announcements for Monday. Obviously, the Steam Box is one of them. Perhaps family library sharing is a second. But what's the third?Assuming Valve can actually count to three...

I don't know what it is, but I bet it will be less exciting than we expect.

You guys know they aren't going to announce HL3, right?

They're going to wait until April 1st and release it with no fanfare or build up, just to screw with us.

Cat Life 3 confirmed? (And 2 and 1, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.)

(Just look at that picture!)

First announcement is SteamOS.

Makes the second announcement obvious, that being the Steambox for the SteamOS.

Third announcement is...? Half Life 3 released on Sega Saturn as a Japan only exclusive.
