    Game developer, if you are reading this, PLEASE take some time to do an official and complete controller layout that properly uses the hardware available on the Deck, including the touchpads, back buttons, gyro, touchscreen if you need it. The Steam Controller is very fun, and optimizing the controls to my liking was a big part of it, but making proper controls for EACH game from scratch is absolutely the worst. If you have a great control scheme, I am much more prone to give your game attention.

    • @VinAbuqrq
      @VinAbuqrq 2 роки тому +50

      And when I say touchpads i mean TOUCHPADS: touch menus, scroll gestures, double taps, outer edge touch, the versatility is there, you just need to implement it in a cool way and we'll love it.
      Test camera control on the touchpads, radial menu on the joysticks, see if you can use the touch release of the touchpads to select an option of the radial menu without having to click L3/R3. That kind of thing. Explore the possibilities. It is all amazing hardware. Don't mess this up.

      Sadly, Valve doesn't.
      More often than not, a game fully compatible with SteamOS is being broken in a couple of years or even months with another update.
      Some times it's a lazy anti-cheat slapped on a badly made game, some times it's a crappy engine plugin, some times it's just a new launcher or even a bad symbol in a file path.
      But the result is the same: now it's fully compatible, but some time later it won't even launch.
      And another bad tendency is to release a sequel to a fully compatible game that doesn't even launch.
      So even reviewing each patch isn't a solution, valve must review developers competency and dedication to issue the highest mark.

    • @DaVince21
      @DaVince21 Рік тому

      @@goury More often than not? I've experienced the opposite of that.
      I've used Proton ever since it was released, and while there certainly have been a few cases like the one you picture, it's been much more common for me to see more and more games start working as they keep improving Proton in general. Don't forget it's based on Wine. That's not a project that accepts simple hacks to make games work, but encourages proper implementation of features and fixes so that it benefits _anything_ using those features. It'll just be available from that point onward.
      And of course, if a dev decides to add some new anti-cheat mechanism down the line, no shit it would break that game. But even though I would argue that's on the dev and not Valve, I've still seen Valve do its best to reach out to the anti-cheat software companies to get it to work on Deck.

      Because Nintendo does not need to cater to its consumer base the same way other up and coming developers have to.
      They've been releasing great games consistently for over FOUR decades and its paying off for them because nostalgia sells. All those kids who grew up playing their games are now hooked into their Ecosystem.
      Not saying what they do or do not as a developer is right, just look at it from a business perspective. Their back catalog was the leading factor in the success of Switch.
      EPIC is pulling that same shit with their joke of a store and predatory ecosystem, they're getting the kids locked in into their ecosystem and that is bound to pay off sometime in the near future.

      Shame Sony doesn't do this anymore now that they turned American. Nintendo is where it's at, and now more so with Valve. Valve is listening while certain parts of their bloated company continues to make horrible mistakes. They are competent, they still have rough spots within them. Their moderation team needs help, their support team is great. Just getting banned for every little thing is frustrating. Their VR is far better than Oculus so that makes me hyped for if and when they release wireless headsets. Oculus needs to topple to put them in their place for Facebook restrictions.
      Steam has done decent things with review bombings, they however messed up with removing dislikes (if at all). Similar to UA-cam. With Steam Deck I'm seeing mostly good things. People however complained about the card reader. Hope it's worth it on the card storage front.

      Agree 100%. They should also check how a game behaves when you put the device to sleep, then wake up. I tried the RE VII Cloud version on Switch, and it doesn't support that. Warframe on Switch boots you out back to the main menu when you wake up your device after sleep, making you go through the lengthy reload and reconnection process again and again. It's a godsend when DE / Panic Button finally fixed that. Makes it a more convenient and snappy experience.

      I will say Valve is a bit of an odd company. They are certainly focused on profit as evidenced by the fact that the only new games and hardware made by Valve are to grow the platform. The way they seem to grow their platform doesn't usually limit competition and often enough is beneficial to them a well even if indirectly.
      The fundamental motive/moral imperative for most companies is profit and Valve is no different there. It's just odd that they're not particularly evil about it. It's nice capitalism. What ever happened to Google's don't be evil sign?

    But I imagine that using the touchscreen will be the best solution to control the game in certain cases.
    For example sorting an inventory with touchscreen drag & drop is way better than a clunky gamepad control system, the touchscreen is a powerful addition to the control options of the Steam Deck and I don't understand why the use of it results in a compatibility warning.

      I'd imagine it would only be an issue if the player HAD to use the touch screen without any other way to interface with a menu. I agree that touch controls are great for inventory, but if that was the only way to move around and interact with that menu, it could be seen as a bug or mistake.

    • @StrikeNoir105E

      It's "Unsupported" because you need a VR headset, i.e. you need a peripheral that isn't included with the Steam Deck in order to play it. The Verification system is really just a way to tell you if you can play a game without doing anything cumbersome in the process, like say plugging in and setting up a VR headset. .

      I think that's a design decision at play. Colours draw our eyes. If the colour was red or something, our eyes would be drawn to the unsupported games. Their goal with the green or yellow icons but grey for unsupported, is probably to draw your eyes to the verified and playable games, away from the unsupported. Plus if the colour was something like 'Red' or in some way designed to look 'negative', developers might consider that a smear against their game.

      It does have built in Steam Input support with 4 different presets depending on circumstance (menus, in-game, spectating, in-game pop-up menus like disguising), so it should still work fine for the most part. The game switches between those presets automatically.

I'm hoping this'll be fixed when the Steam Deck launches. Or if not, maybe tons of people will notice this bug and then it'll get fixed.
      The specific issues mentioned in their compatibility check refer to things like needing to use the keyboard to type in the backpack's search bar. Can't exactly think of an elegant solution for that one. Would be nice if the menus had better controller support overall, but still, it's playable.
