Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns for its penultimate season on July 23 |

Star Trek Strange New Worlds returns for its fourth season via Paramount Plus on July The ten episodes air weekly until September This is actually the second to last batch of episodes as the show was recently renewed for a fifth and final season The streamer has dropped a trailer for season four and it looks promising The tone looks slightly darker when compared to season three which was maligned for being a bit too silly and uneven The trailer is narrated by Anson Mount s Captain Christopher Pike who discusses the quot terror quot of space as a planet explodes This is still Strange New Worlds so it won t be all doom and gloom The trailer shows us a screeching alien dinosaur which is pretty fun There have also been reports that season four will feature a puppet episode with involvement from Jim Henson s Creature Shop This new batch of episodes will lean even heavier into connections to the original Star Trek show from the s Paul Wesley s version of Captain Kirk features prominently in several scenes with one looking like a direct callback to Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan A younger Scotty also makes an appearance For the uninitiated Star Trek Strange New Worlds is a prequel to the first show and starts several years before Kirk takes over as captain of the Enterprise It s been said that the series will end with Kirk taking the big chair It s also primarily an episodic series with no real serialized season long arcs It s pretty good It s also ending in the near future Season five will presumably premiere next year and will include just six episodes As a matter of fact it looks like the modern incarnation of Star Trek is ending in totality Sets are being taken down and there are currently no new shows in production for the first time in a decade This is a bummer even if I didn t always love some of the newer content The upcoming second season of Starfleet Academy will be its last which is exceptionally sad because it was really beginning to fire on all cylinders It was years between the final episode of Star Trek Enterprise and the first episode of Star Trek Discovery which kicked off the modern era Who knows how long we ll have to wait this time This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Valve's Steam Controller costs $99 and arrives May 4 |

Valve s Steam Controller will hit the market on Monday May for a going price of in the United States The Steam Controller does precisely what it says It communicates with anything running Steam or the Steam Link app so this includes PCs Macs mobile devices and the Steam Deck nbsp Eventually the Steam Controller will connect to the new Steam Machine console and Steam Frame VR headset but neither of these products have solid release dates just yet They were originally slated to come out in early alongside the Steam Controller but we re nearly five months into the year and only a third of that promise is poised to be fulfilled Valve in March said it hopes to ship in dropping the quot early quot bit As noted in our review the Steam Controller is a solid gamepad especially for the price It feels and looks a lot like a Steam Deck complete with two trackpads beneath a pair of TMR thumbsticks and a standard face array It s reactive ergonomic and comes with a cute little charging and connection puck that snaps onto the bottom of the gamepad Just note that the Steam Controller is not a PC controller It works with Steam and only Steam You ll have to add games with their own launchers like Overwatch Valorant Minecraft or Fortnite to your Steam library before playing them with Valve s proprietary controller How convenient ーfor Valve at least ValveWorldwide Steam Controller prices are as follows nbsp US Canada CADEU UK AUD PLN This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Valve Steam Controller review: A gamepad in search of a console |
https://www.engadget.com/gaming/valve-steam-controller-review-a-gamepad-in-search-of-a-console-170054068.html?src=rss

Don t mistake the Steam Controller for a PC controller Even though its main function is to play PC games Valve s new gamepad communicates with Steam and only Steam This is not a general controller for your PC Android or iOS devices and it s certainly not compatible with any console on the market today unless you count the handheld Steam Deck In order to play a game with the Steam Controller you have to boot it up through Steam More on this later Valve s end goal for the Steam Controller is compatibility with the Steam Machine a console that doesn t yet have a public release date or price point The Steam Machine will support K gaming at fps with FSR it ll come with GB or TB of SSD storage and it ll work with the Steam Frame VR headset as will the Controller The new Steam Machine was supposed to drop early this year fulfilling a long promised dream of PC gaming by moving your entire Steam library to the couch in a compact but powerful box Due to the memory shortages plaguing the tech industry the Machine and Frame aren t here yet so the Steam Controller is the first step in Valve s hardware takeover of living room territory It s due to come out on May priced at The Steam Controller represents roughly years of R amp D from its first iteration announced in to the debut of the Steam Deck in and the refinement period clearly paid off The Steam Controller is a tidy chonker of a gamepad with a broad Duke like face holding two square trackpads beneath the standard analog sticks and face buttons Despite its extra girth the Steam Controller feels light slim and balanced even in my smaller than average hands The grips are slender and have four circular rear buttons two per side that are super satisfying to click even when they don t do anything in game The bumpers triggers D pad and face buttons are shiny black plastic and all of the controller s edges are rounded allowing for a smooth glide between the bumpers and triggers especially The trackpads don t get in the way when you don t need them but in use they re incredibly sensitive and kind of mesmerizing They look and feel just like the trackpads on the Steam Deck following the trails of your thumbs with miniature popping bubbles The Steam Controller uses tunnel magnetoresistance TMR joysticks which are a leveled up version of Hall effect sticks offering ultimate precision and long term stability with no chance of drift After a few days of use across a range of game genres including competitive first person shooters they ve proven to be reliable and accurate In terms of stick precision and feel I find the Steam Controller is comparable to the Razer Wolverine V Pro my PC gamepad of choice I otherwise much prefer the swappability rubberized microswitches and crisp clickiness of Razer s gamepad ーbut the Wolverine also costs about more and doesn t come with trackpad capabilities so we ll call it a wash Sam Rutherford for Engadget One of the neatest aspects of the Steam Controller is its charging and connection puck which plugs into your PC or Steam Deck through a USB cable and enables stable wireless play The puck snaps onto the belly of the controller for charging and when you hover the gamepad s connection point over it it jumps up and latches on like a cute little sucker fish I don t know if this behavior is an intentional selling point but it certainly is for me The Steam Controller also connects to devices via Bluetooth or with a cable and in all configurations it s performed without issue for me Of course Bluetooth mode has the highest latency so that s mainly for phones and Steam Link play The puck can support two Steam Controllers at once Swapping between Puck and Bluetooth mode is a simple matter of holding the right bumper and A or B respectively when you turn the controller on Pressing the power button with the Steam logo wakes up the gamepad and pressing it twice when you re connected to a PC launches Steam in Big Picture mode The Steam Controller feels like a natural extension of Valve s storefront and with its matte black finish and bubbled edges it ll be familiar to anyone who s fallen in love with a Steam Deck these past few years I tested out the controller on my PC with Steam games and non Steam games added to my Steam library first of course ーseriously more on that later and in my living room with my Steam Deck acting as a makeshift low powered Steam Machine On PC I played The Seance of Blake Manor Creature Kitchen and Overwatch and on Steam Deck I played Blake Manor Demonschool and Balatro Whether connected with Bluetooth the puck or USB the Steam Controller provided seamless play and no noticeable latency The distance from my couch to the puck nestled behind my Steam Deck is about eight feet and I didn t feel a frame drop while cosplaying as a Steam Machine owner I also never ran into battery issues but that s not shocking considering Valve s claim that the gamepad has more than hours on a single charge In my testing the battery barely registered a drop after multiple hours of playtime and I was happy to snap on the charging puck whenever I wanted to set the controller down Sam Rutherford for Engadget Valve notes the battery life may be lower if playing with the Steam Frame The Steam Controller has infrared LEDs for tracking which will obviously drain the battery a little faster Some VR games may have you waving your controller as there are gyroscopic sensors in there as well As the Steam Frame isn t out I wasn t able to test some of the controller s more interesting features Even against players using a keyboard and mouse in competitive Overwatch matches I won games and earned awards passing my personal ultimate test of a controller s capabilities When it comes to Overwatch I m mostly comparing the Steam Controller to Sony s DualSense and it feels surprisingly similar I enjoy the Steam Controller s smooth slide between the bumpers and triggers though its haptic feedback is more subtle than the DualSense s lacking in the analog sticks particularly Much like with the Steam Deck I haven t found a consistent use case for the trackpads on the Steam Controller but I appreciate their inclusion the accessibility factor and the fact that they aren t otherwise intrusive Now just add a Playdate crank and I m really sold The Steam Controller is a clear and unmistakable signal that Valve is joining the console wars and perhaps by patient and diligent design it s appearing at a vulnerable time Xbox is fumbling the current generation and attempting to redefine its place in the console market amid a significant leadership shakeup while Sony and Nintendo are carrying on with standard hardware upgrade cycles in a landscape that s based less on platform exclusivity every day Right now there s room for a robust PC based storefront to stake its claim on couch gaming and voila here s Valve with the Steam Machine and Steam Controller Sam Rutherford for Engadget Similarly to the way Valve used Half Life to get people to download Steam in the Steam Controller pushes players to fully consolidate their PC libraries in its own ecosystem You ll have to add games with their own launchers like Overwatch Valorant Minecraft and Fortnite to your Steam library before you can play them using Valve s controller This is a small inconvenience since it takes just a few clicks to add a non Steam game to your profile Welcome to later However I don t enjoy doing it As I was browsing through files to add Overwatch to my Steam library I couldn t help thinking that it would have been pretty easy for Valve to add a switch that would let the Steam Controller communicate with any PC game Maybe it s a touch of oppositional defiant disorder but I despise being coerced into behaviors that are designed to serve a corporation s market control over my own workflow especially in my personal spaces Now more than ever I value my ability to choose ーwhich businesses I work with where I store my software how I play ーand the Steam launcher requirement is another small expansion of Valve s incredible power in the PC games industry It s too easy to say most of my games are already on Steam no big deal and use the Controller as an excuse to consolidate them all on Valve s launcher Suddenly Steam is where you begin and end every gaming session rather than just most Obviously and especially with the coming rollout of the Steam Machine this is the reality that Valve wants a rich industry utterly reliant on its platform of DRM shitty revenue splits and random opaque censorship It s the situation that Microsoft Apple or Epic also want for themselves but the main difference is that this future is actually in reach for Valve and the Steam Controller is a tiny part of the plan If willing and unforced support of a monopoly makes you bristle as well feel free to stick with BitDo Sam Rutherford for Engadget Truly though I get it The Steam Controller doesn t come with a PC switch because it s not a PC controller It s for controlling Steam a service that s become synonymous with PC and handheld gaming and is now creeping onto the living room scene The Steam Controller is designed to follow you everywhere Steam is for all your gaming needs across every screen forever and always ーand there is something soothing about that idea in a Brave New World Soma kind of way A PC controller That s far too limited from Valve s perspective Encroaching corporate dystopia aside the Steam Controller is a sturdy and sleek gamepad that stands up to the competition It s for Valve diehards trackpad fanatics and anyone whose main gaming hub is Steam Which to be clear is a massive market that s only poised to grow This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
