Steam Link的用意在於将玩家的Steam体验拓展到家中每个角落;透过Steam Link玩家将可以把所有Steam上的内容从PC或是Steam Machine上串流至区网的每个 装置。 Steam Link可在低度延迟的状况下支援至1080P / 60HZ,并将在今年十一月以 49.99美金的价格在美上市。同步发售的还有一样是49.99美金的Steam手把。 (全世界的订价将於更接近上市时才公布) : Steam Machines from partners Alienware and Falcon Northwest are being shown, : with Machines from a dozen other partners slated to release this November. : Steam Machines will start at the same price point as game consoles, with : higher performance.

Steam Machine们的定价约略会和现行的家用游戏主机价格相当,但是将有更高的效能表 现。对於那些追求最高性能表现的客户们,也将能够选择任何足以满足他们需求的高阶硬 体。Epic(Unreal引擎的开发商)将在Falcon Northwest版Steam Machine上展示最新一代 Unreal Tournament在4K解析度的表现。"我们超爱这个平台的,"Tim Sweeney,Epic Games 的创办人如是说。"不论你是跑精美的4K场景还是为了高强度的FPS对战中在1080P下跑到 120FPS,这台Steam Machines都能够将世界一流的游戏体验和图像表现带到电视上,而且 还是基於开放平台,而开放平台正是Valve最根基的精神。" Valve还会展示一个虚拟实境(VR)的头戴显示器。今年春天就会释出开发版,而合作夥伴 hTC也将会在今年底之前面向消费者销售。 : Two new technologies are part of the VR release - a room scale tracking : system codenamed Lighthouse, and a VR input system. "In order to have a high : quality VR experience, you need high resolution, high speed tracking," said : Valve's Alan Yates. "Lighthouse gives us the ability to do this for an : arbitrary number of targets at a low enough BOM cost that it can be : incorporated into TVs, monitors, headsets, input devices, or mobile devices." : Valve intends to make Lighthouse freely available to any hardware : manufacturers interested in the technology. 在这次的VR产品中运用了两项新技术-全房间动作追踪感应系统,代号:灯塔Lighthouse; 还有一套虚拟实境用的指令输入系统。"为了提供高品质的VR体验,需要有高解析度, 高速动作追踪技术,"Valve的Alan Yates说明。"Lighthouse系统让我们能够在堪称无理取 闹的低BOM Cost下同时整合电视,萤幕,头戴式显示器和动作输入系统又甚至是行动装置" Valve预期将对所有对Lighthouse技术有兴趣的硬体制造商免费开放此项技术。 : "Now that we have Lighthouse, we have an important piece of the puzzle for : tackling VR input devices," said Valve's Joe Ludwig. "The work on the Steam : Controller gave us the base to build upon, so now we have touch and motion as : integrated parts of the PC gaming experience." “现在我们有了Lighthouse, 我们也有关於如何解决VR手持式输入装置的重要线索” Valve的Joe Ludwig谈到。“我们过去在Steam手把上的努力成为未来发展的根基, 我们已将触控和动态捕捉技术整合为PC游戏体验的一环。” : "We've been working in VR for years and it was only until we used SteamVR's : controllers and experienced the magic of absolute tracking that we were able : to make the VR game we always wanted to make," said Alex Schwartz of : Owlchemylabs. “我们已经投入数年在VR技术上,而且会不断努力下去直到我们能够并用Steam VR手把 搭配完美动态追踪做出一直以来梦想做出的虚拟实境游戏为止”Owlchemylab的Alex Schwartz说。 : VR demos being shown at GDC include work from Bossa Studios, Cloudhead Games, : Dovetail Games, Fireproof Studios, Google, Owlchemylabs, Skillman & Hackett, : Steel Wool Games, Vertigo Games, and Wevr. 在GDC上展示的VR Demo来自以下开发商: Bossa Studios, Cloudhead Games,Dovetail Games, Fireproof Studios, Google, Owlchemylabs, Skillman & Hackett,Steel Wool Games, Vertigo Games, and Wevr. : Valve announced the Source 2 engine, the successor to the Source engine used : in Valve's games since the launch of Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2. : "The value of a platform like the PC is how much it increases the : productivity of those who use the platform.

Given how important user generated content : is becoming, Source 2 is designed not for just the professional developer, : but enabling gamers themselves to participate in the creation and development : of their favorite games," said Valve's Jay Stelly. "We will be making Source : 2 available for free to content developers. This combined with recent : announcements by Epic and Unity will help continue the PCs dominance as the : premiere content authoring platform." Valve也公布了第二代Source引擎作为初代Source引擎的後继者。初代Source引擎远在 CS:Source 和HL2时代就为Valve所采用。“像PC这样的开发平台价值决定於能够帮助开发 者提升多少生产力。 我们将Source 2引擎的重点摆在如何增进创作者的生产力。 在使用者创作的内容已不可或缺的今日(译注:即指玩家开发的Mod很重要的意思), Source 2并不仅仅为了专业开发者而设计,而且还使得玩家们能够更容易的参与自己最爱 游戏的发展及再创作,” Valve的Jay Stelly说。“我们将会免费提供Source 2引擎给内 容开发者。就如同近来Epic和Unity所公布的(将游戏引擎免费开放)一样,此举将使得PC 成为主流内容开发平台。” : Also as part of supporting PC gaming, Valve announced that it will be : releasing a Vulkan-compatible version of the Source 2 engine. Vulkan is a : cross-platform, cross-vendor 3D graphics API that allows game developers to : get the most out of the latest graphics hardware, and ensures hardware : developers that there is a consistent, low overhead method of taking : advantage of products.

Steam Link will be available in November this : year for $49.99. Steam Link on the Steam Store. : Update: Valve removed it from the store, it might be back later. : Steam Machines : There will be a bunch of Steam Machines released in November by different : manufacturers.

Steam Controller Steam手把也将於今年十一月上市。一样会是49.99美金分开发售。 国际定价将於後续公布。 : Source 2 : Source 2 will be free to all content developers.

Source 2 Source 2 将会对所有内容开发者免费。并且支援Vulkan,我们也许会在後续GDC上听到更 多有关Vukan(及Valve对其涉入）的情报。Valve还没有提到任何授权/版税抽成费用。 : VR : Valve have officially announced their "Lighthouse" room tracking system used : with the HTC Vive through two base stations. Valve says Lighthouse can be : integrated into a multitude of different hardware including televisions, : mobile phones, headsets and input devices. Alan Yates's weird "Chief : Pharologist" Twitter bio sure makes a lot of sense now. : Valve intends to make Lighthouse freely available to any hardware : manufacturers interested in the technology. VR Valve正式公布他们的“Lighthouse”空间追迹系统将用在hTC推出的Vive的两台轨迹捕捉 基地台上。Valve说Lighthouse系统可以将不同硬体整合,包括电视,手机,头戴式显示器及 输入装置。Alan Yates在Twitter上简介自称“首席灯塔专家”现在看来合理多了。 Vavle预计将对所有有兴趣的硬体制造商免费开放Lighthouse. : 网址： : https://steamdb.info/blog/source2-announcement/ 译者感想: 呼,终於翻完了...好长, 如果有什麽翻译错误请指教, 如果要转翻译者请注明出处和译者即可转。 感觉Vavle真的没有极限呀, 很勇敢的挑战想将PC游戏产业推到过去无法想像的地方。 不知道三五年後的游戏发展会到什麽境界呢? 真的相当的期待。 --
