Half Life 3

looks cool actually

Meh

I hope it will be affordable

Weird controller indeed.

Can't believe an announcement was wasted for a controller.

Not even consoles do that.

Good news

It looks horrible imo... I'll just stick with my good old 360 controller. :P

Looks amazing. If developed right, this may be one of the strongest points of Steam machines. Finally we'll see some playabe RTS games on big screen.

Hm, well, assuming that it works as intended it sounds nice. Since I usually bitch about the controllers lacking a proper way of imitating mouse input and having too few buttons this one would work perfectly. Once again, assuming that it actually WORKS but that's what Beta testing is for. ^_^

(Inb4 people criticize me for not having a console or controller and start throwing around "PC Master Race" jokes. :P )

This controller actually looks awesome. Can't wait to get it.

It.Looks.Weird.

Very.

SteamOS, SteamPC, SteamController... and what is the result?
Correct: I don't give a shit!

looks weird, it's too different from everything, but, looks interesting, those trackpads could be an awesome thing. for now, i will stick to my dual shock clone gamepad

Needs MOAR Gordon Freeman

I am getting this.

It does look weird but I'd love to try that controller, anyway it's more interesting than ps4, xbone stuff... All in all I like it but I probably won't buy it, I just prefer PC.

Bad Rats 3 confirmed.

it looks retarded

There was no possibility of a game being announced anyway. It quite clearly said that the announcements were regarding features would benefit the "living room experience".

I'll probably be getting one of them controllers if/when they're complete and have most of the issues ironed out.

I'm sure the HL3 interface will be designed specifically for this controller.

I usually don't partake in HL3 speculation, but here's mine:

The controller is meant to be hacked, right? So you pop it open to see what's what, and etched into the controller's board is a QR code. You initially dismiss it because a lot of boards have small things that look like QR codes, but this looks more complex, so you whip out the smartphone and scan it. It takes you to a landing page that says you were the first to scan the code, and asks you to log into Steam. You do so, and Half-Life 3 is added to your account as early access. At that point the game is announced to everyone and you are named the game's ambassador, you get a free Steam Machine, get to visit Valve and meet Gabe and the team, you get to be a character in HL3 and/or get to help design an area, etc.

Could happen!

Well, Valve deserve congratulation for the courage to try to inovate, but i can't see myself playing in a touchpad. If touchpad was good to play fps, a notebook or a tablet would bee too, and that's not true. I don't know, it can work but it's really weird

the xbox 360 subwoofer edition controller

Considering I hate, hate, HATE trying to control first-person shooters and such with touchscreens, and this isn't much different, I'll avoid this thing like it's the plague.

Not happening!

Also the controller looks more amazing every time I think about how it will work.
