In 2013, Valve 'expanded the universe' with the announcement of 'Steam Machines'. According to themselves at least. The Seattle-based developer wants to take over your living room with its SteamOS, Steam Machines and its special controller. The latter showed some very interesting design choices, featuring two trackpads instead of regular analog sticks. Quite a lot has changed in the meantime and it has been suggested that the final design will be shown very soon.
According to the CEO of Origin PC, the Steam Controller has been finalized and will be shown during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in March.
"At GDC, they're going to have more information," says Kevin Wasielewski, CEO and Co-Founder of Origin PC. "And we'll be there. That's the official stuff we can say. They came out with the controller, then they got some user feedback, and they had to revamp it; they got some more user feedback and had to revamp it again. So they went through that like three or four times. And now their controller is finalized. So now they're going to production and at GDC is when they're going to announce more stuff."
Since its announcement in 2013, the design has been altered numerous of times, including concepts of touchpads, a d-pad and more. The latest concept leaked in December, and it shows a d-pad, a single touchpad, and an analog stick, apart from the regular buttons.
As for Valve, they have decided to skip CES, and they also won't host 'Steam Dev Days' this year, and they have stated they will focus on GDC instead. What do you think about Valve's controller? Would you like one?
