Mallet Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 45 minutes ago, Mr. Gerbik said: Apart from the performance and stuff, any word on how much noise it produces running games? I hope the Deck is silent and doesn't make more noise than heavy metal. I was reading a Q&A with a developer who had received one, he compared the noise to a switch. He also said that the Final Fantasy pixel remasters have text so small they are horrible to play on the Deck. Which sucks as I was planning to play them when I get my deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosegrinder Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If it was anyone else I'd say there'd be a good chance that they'd do an optimization for when the Deck hits 'retail' but lol Squeenix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simms Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Great thing about PC is that if the developers don’t optimise an modder will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonamok Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Looks like about 10 systems go for Feb. I’ll stay sceptical for now, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siri Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 At the end of the day, there's a queue and I'll happily sit around until I can just pay and get my unit, even when Valve officially announces Duck Seazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sane Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Ok guys I'm going to do you all a favour and cancel my Q1 256GB order. I already bought a Series X last month and I just can't afford both . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonamok Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Good on you! I’d shit a rainbow if my Q2 256 became a Q1 as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gerbik Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I've had to cancel too. I still really want one but I simply don't have the money at the moment. I hope it helps get all of y'all one sooner! I'll get one eventually became Deck is Forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I love that they’ve decided to get rid of boxes and ship it in a carry case. That is a genuine improvement over every portable ever released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashiro Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The ongoing verified list 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallet Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Already I see a ton of games on that list which I want to play and will work fantasticly well on a hand held. Interesting to see the Final Fantasy pixel remaster as being verified. I had read an interview with a developer who has a Steam deck that the text in the game was too small. I guess Square Enix must have patched it which bodes well for other games. Personally I'm still very excited about this product and I'm really looking forward to getting mine. I predict the community that grows around the steam deck will be amazing. The hacking, modding, add ons and emulators are going to be epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 All systems go guys and girls...Feb 25th launch! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675180/view/3117055056380003048 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallet Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I can't wait to see some extensive hands on and reviews. I haven't looked this forward to a hardware launch in some time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I shall be furiously resfreshing my email inbox at 10am... Pretty cool that the embargo is lifted on the 25th as well, but more interesting is previews will come out before that. I wonder who has the exclusives (if it's not Valve driven content)? IGN? DF maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CovisGod Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 You have 3 days to pay and you can order from the 25th, I get paid on the 28th…..I’m all good aren’t I? I’m even panicking about simple Maths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m even panicking about simple Maths "The first units will be on their way to customers starting the 28th..." I mean, nobody knows for sure and I don't want to worry you, but...wouldn't the above mean that they will ship to people that pay straight away? Also, does the 3 days include the 25th!?

Mystacon Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 So this launches the same day as Elden Ring? Well ain’t that a treat? That said, mine isn’t due until Q2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonamok Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Unless you were one of the lucky few who momentarily had a December 2021 availability, which then changed to Q1 2022, I doubt you’ll be getting the purchase email in February. I can imagine it’s something of a soft launch. I went Q1 to Q2, and expect it will be June before I get the option to pay. I just want to see proper impressions and a fuckton of footage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I was lucky enough to order at 6pm, Steam invoice was issued/is timestamped 6.00pm...so I am hopeful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallet Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The way Valve has set up the order system for the Steam Deck is really nice I think. Sure I'm slated for Q2 so I have some time to wait. However I do know that I am guaranteed to get one. I don't have to sign up for stock alerts and then be available exactly when stock comes in along with having the reflexes of a bot. I simply have to wait. Compare that to trying to get a PS5 or a 30 series card. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disperse and recoagulate Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Just checked. Still Q2. That’s good cos I’m not super eager for it but will be able to either gather momentum or completely lose interest (and cancel) judging by Q1 peoples’ reactions to it.

cavalcade Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I thought I'd ordered the 256Gb version, but checked and it's actually the 512Gb with the etched screen, which is annoying as I don't think I want the etched screen #firstworldproblems Still very excited for it though and if it even half works I'll be overjoyed.
