When Valve’s Steam Controller was announced a few days back – as part of a trifecta of new announcements from the company – some folks were skeptical of how it would work, since it uses touch-sensor pads in favor of traditional analog sticks.
Putting such worries to rest, Valve released a new video showing off just how the controller would work with a variety of games, including Portal 2, Civilization V and the company’s highly popular first-person shooter Counter-Strike.
Throughout the video, the engineer demonstrating the games shows just how movement and actions work with the controller, and how to use the one-to-one view control mode to get the most out of each game’s performance.
The controller will ship out later this year alongside the 300 Steam Machines that are going out for beta, and should be in production sometime in 2014. Pricing hasn’t been revealed just yet.Source: Ars Technica
