Ivalufa kuthiwa yenza i-PC ephathekayo kunye ne-dockable ye-Nintendo Tshintshela-efana ne-PC "SteamPal;" kwaye inokuthi iqalise ukuphela kwalo nyaka.
Ars Technica iingxelo "imithombo emininzi eyaziwayo ngalo mbandela" baye badiza ukuba isixhobo sele siphuhliswa ixesha elithile. Bakwaqaphela indlela umnini we-Steam DB uPavel Djundik (iwebhusayithi ezinikele ekujongeni utshintsho kwisiseko sedatha yeSteam), wafumana utshintsho kuhlaziyo lwebeta lomxhasi lwamva nje olunokuthi lubonise ukuba amabango ayinyani,
"Umlawuli we-Valve's 'Neptune' ubonisa kwi-beta yomxhasi wamva nje kwakhona," Djundik tweeted. “Inikwe igama elithi 'SteamPal' (NeptuneName) kwaye ine-'SteamPal Games' (GameList_View_NeptuneGames). Olu hlaziyo longeze 'imenyu yokufikelela ngokukhawuleza' kunye 'nemenyu yamandla'.
Njengoko u-Djundik wayeziva ukuba ezo ntambo zazinxulumene nomlawuli weNeptune, waphinda waqikelela ukuba iValve yayisenza ikhonsoli yeSteam ephathwayo. Kwakhona waphawula ukuba kukho ireferensi "INkqubo yoPhuhlisi yaseCallisto," kwaye oko "neptuneGamesCollection” yavela okokuqala ngoSeptemba 2020 uhlaziyo ecaleni kwe “Isixhobo Esenziwe Imidlalo” umtya.
Ngelixesha ngoku ividiyo ecinyiweyo waseNewell ethetha kwiKholeji yaseSancta Maria yaseNew Zealand, waye ingxelo ebuzwa ngumfundi malunga nezicwangciso zeValve zemidlalo yevidiyo yekhonsoli. "Uya kufumana umbono ongcono wokuya ekupheleni kwalo nyaka," UNewwell waqhula, “kwaye ayizukuba yimpendulo oyilindeleyo. Uya kuthi, 'Ah-ha! Ngoku ndiyayifumana le nto ebethetha ngayo.’”
I-Ars Technica iphakamisa ukuba iSteamPal inokuba yiPC yokudlala ephathwayo, nangona ingaqinisekiswanga ukuba ligama lokugqibela. Bakwabanga ukuba isixhobo siya kuba nayo "Ulawulo lwe-gamepad kunye nescreen esichukumisayo;" ukuzisa uthelekiso kwiNintendo Tshintshela ethintele iJoy-Cons esuswayo.
UDell kunye neAlienware bavelise i PC ephathwayo isixhobo yokudlala ingcamango ngoyilo olufana noTshintsho; ngoxa Chinese OEMs GPD, One-Netbook, kunye Aya babe (kumagama Ars Technica kaThixo) "Ubethe iiprosesa zePC ze-ultramobile kunye neenxalenye kwi-chassis efana noTshintsho."
I-Ars Technica ichaze ukuba iSteamPal iya kuhla ngendlela efanayo- ebonakala ngathi yithiyori yabo ngokuchasene namabango avela kwimithombo yawo. Bacebisa ukuba iya kusebenzisa i-chip evela kwi-Intel okanye i-AMD njengangaphambili "uTshintsho-ukuthandwa" unayo. Ubuncinci iprototype enye yeSteamPal yayi"banzi kakhulu xa kuthelekiswa neNintendo Tshintsha."
Obu bubanzi bongezelelweyo ibikukuvumela iinketho zolawulo olutsha; ukuquka amaqhosha, izichukumisi, izinto zokuvuya kunye nokokuba kubhontsi omnye ubungakanani bephedi yokuchukumisa (efana noMlawuli womphunga). I-Ars Technica iqaphela ukuba i-SteamPal ikwinqanaba lokuqala leprototype, kwaye ke ixhomekeke kutshintsho.
Ukuthelekisa kwiNintendo Shintsha akupheli kwimilo yayo kunye neenketho zokuchukumisa. Isixhobo siza kuphinda sikwazi "ukungena" kwiimonitha ezinkulu nge-USB Type-C port. I-Ars Technica iyavuma ukuba ayinalo nofifi lokuba unxibelelwano luya kusebenza njani, okanye ukuba kuya kubakho idokhi yehardware ukuyikhapha.
Okokugqibela, iArs Technica iphakamisa ukuba iSteamPal yakhiwe ngeLinux engqondweni; njengoko iValve iqhubekile ukwenza ikhathalogu yabo yonke ihambelane ne-OS yomthombo ovulekileyo.
Eli bali lisenokuvakala liqhelekile kwabo bakhumbula ishwangusha Umatshini womphunga; I-PC ye-Valve eyakhelwe ngaphambili yokudlala eneempawu ze-console; kunye nokukhuthaza i-Linux OS evulelekileyo ngelixa i-Apple kunye ne-Microsoft zixoxa ngokuthintela ukuba zeziphi iinkqubo ezinokufakwa kwiinkqubo zabo zokusebenza (ingakumbi. 8 Windows). Isebenza kwi-Valve's Linux-based SteamOS ngokusebenzisa umxhasi weSteam.
Emva kokusungulwa kwayo ngo-2015 nangona kunjalo, inkqubo yayifile ngokufanelekileyo ekufikeni kwayo. Ukususela ngoJuni 2016, i-console ithengisiwe ngaphantsi kwe 500,000 iiyunithi, enamanani asemthethweni ukuza kuthi ga ngoku asaza kuqinisekiswa. Njengoko kucetyiswe ngu PC Gamer kwi-autopsy yabo, izizathu zokungaphumeleli zibandakanya i-Steam OS ayifanelekanga yonke imihla kunye nokusetyenziswa kwemidlalo, izibonakaliso ezicothayo kunye ezincinci zohlaziyo, iMicrosoft isungula i-free Windows 10 OS, kunye nokulibaziseka.
I-Steam Link, isixhobo sokusasaza imidlalo ye-PC kwiimonitha ezinkulu, ikwajongwe njengenye indlela engabizi kakhulu kwabo babenokufuna kuphela uMtshini weSteam ukuze babeke iliso elikhulu kunye “nokudlala esofeni.” Abo bathengisa ooMatshini beSteam kuxelwe ukuba bafumene abathengi bafuna ikhonsoli okanye iPC, kunokuba iSteam Machines izame ukuba zizo zombini.
Icandelo loMtshini womphunga wevenkile yomphunga lali zifihlwe ngokuzolileyo Ngo-2018. Kudliwanondlebe kunye Umda Ngo-2019, umphathi weValve uGabe Newell uthe “I-hardware esasiyityhala yayingaphelelanga ngelo xesha. Ndacinga ukuba, 'Kucacile apho sonke sifuna ukuphelela khona, kwaye le yingongoma esendleleni yokusifikisa apho'.
"Kwaye abantu babefana, 'Ewe, kodwa ucela ukuba ndikuhlawule imali ngelungelo lokuba kwimephu yendlela yakho, kwaye andiqinisekanga ukuba ndiphuma ntoni kweli xesha'," Wavuma uNewell. "Kufuneka siqhubele phambili ngakumbi malunga nokuhambisa amava abathengi aphucukileyo ngaphambi kokuba sizame ukuba abantu bahlawule imali yezo zinto."
Ingaba esi sixhobo sibanjwe ngesandla sisenzo esilandelayo endleleni? Ngaba ngoku lixesha lobulumko lokuqalisa isixhobo esinjalo ngelixa abathathu abakhulu kunye nabanye kunzima ukufumana amakhadi emizobo? Siza kukugcina usazi njengoko sifunda ngakumbi.
