How long until the next reveal?
This week at XDC2013 NVIDIA made one of the biggest surprise announcements... NVIDIA will begin publishing NDA-free GPU programming documentation. They already have released some documentation and more is on the way as they seek to assist the Nouveau graphics driver developers in writing a full open-source 3D Linux graphics driver for GeForce GPUs.
Don't know if this means anything to you GAF or if possibly SteamOS/Box Related, but Nvidia announced that they will begin publishing Open GPU Documentation
I have already made a thread about it earlier today.
lol oh youLinux is saved!
Oh I thought Valve had another announcement today, looks like it's tomorrow.
My mistake then :<
Apologies
3D acceleration is pretty poor in VMs as far as I know so impossible.
Valve said there would be no game reveals this week.
Would be a little strange to unveil Source 2 without L4D3.
Laidlaw just said that all the announcements relate to Steam. A Steamworks game being announced technically falls under that banner.

So I misinterpreted the tweet.
I can't even find it now. I hate twitter lol.

I'll install this shit as soon as available.
I can't fucking wait... thank you based Valve.
see you soon in 2-3 years when 10 more million of people will be using Linux because of this.
off topic but what does it mean/what's the meme when people say BASED xxx ?

If Laidlaw was a marketing/PR rep I would take those statements with a grain of salt.
Since he isn't, I will take them more literally. I doubt there will be a game announcement this week.
thats what you think or what you'd like? xD
Even if a game is announced, it's not going to be HL3 (as the person who tweeted him was suggesting), but rather L4D3 -- the little evidence we have that both exist suggests the latter is (seemingly much) further along.
Step 1, Provide the Platform
Steam OS
Step 2, Provide the Hardware
Steam Certified Hardware (different tiers and price rangers, something for everybody)
Step 3, Provide the Tools
Either Source 2, or the SteamOS SDK
If only the Xbone had two HDMI ins. SteamOS + PS4 + Xbone. Lol.
1 - SteamOS
2 - SteamBox Certification
3 - Source² with LFD3 to show what it CAN DO
Thought there was confirmation of no new software announcements.
Guess at tech demo could be shown if Source 2 is revealed.

Usually I think about what I like.
Win-win situation then?
My biggest worry for the next few years on this will be.
In a few years it would be horrible is it ended up having a load of games that will use SteamOS and not support Windows, and a load of games that support Windows but not SteamOS. Right now most PC games are Windows (with fraction supporting other operating systems), it would be pretty bad IMO if in a few years time it ended up with 50% supporting SteamOS style operating systems only and 50% supporting Windows operating systems only.
Sure people will say "you can dual boot" or "you can have 2 PCs, 1 for each", but I really think that would be a horrible way for PC gaming to end up.
I really hope it ends up with everything being available on everything, all Windows games will support SteamOS etc and all SteamOS games will support Windows etc..
Yes it would suck. But Valve certainly wants everything to be available everywhere they have a Steam client so I do not worry.
This is about reaching ever more people, not less!
Gah, this announcement comes like two weeks after I buy my new PC. -_-
Oh well.

Source 2 and Left 4 Dead 3 revealed later as a Game Informer cover story, maybe before the year is out, if not very early next year.
This is probably nothing, but there is this thing going around that originated from 4chan.
A lot of it sounds plausible, but it's probably all fake. I figured this would be the place to post it though.
We'll know by tomorrow if this is bullshit.
