"We'll Make Hardware If We Have To" Says Valve's Gabe Newell

Tags: Valve, Steam, Gabe Newell, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (all tags)

Newell makes no secret about his feelings on the current console market and may end up putting his money where his mouth is.

Gabe Newell is one of the more outspoken critics of the current console market, once calling the PlayStation 3 a disaster and contending that Xbox Live is "a trainwreck." The Valve Managing Director has been instrumental in creating a whole new way to sell PC games, and says he'll do the same for consoles if necessary.

"We're thinking of trying to figure out how to do the equivalent of the [Team Fortress] incremental approach in software design," says Newell, stating that Valve will "try to figure out how would you get something similar to that in the hardware space as well." The goal of this would be to allow the hardware to evolve just like the games do.

Certainly alluding to the initial PlayStation 3 launch, Newell says that the important thing is finding a way to iterate on the design quickly " without having to go off and buy ten million of them and then find out we did something mildly stupid and then having to throw them all away and start over."

Tags: Bethesda, Creation Kit, User Created Content, Skyrim, Steam (all tags)

Not only will you soon have access to an impressive supply of created mods, but they'll look damn good too.

Today Bethesda has released the long awaited Creation Kit for 'Skyrim,' which means even more impressive user-created mods are on the way. Most players won't use the kit itself, but part of the appeal of the PC version is the amazing amount of user-created content that's on the way.

If you've been hoping for a better looking 'Skyrim,' you'll be happy to see the release of new high-resolution textures from Bethesda, downloadable as free DLC from Steam. The new textures take the game up a notch, but there are a few bugs in there, like the way some shadows end up or simply resolutions that did not get updated.

To celebrate the release of these two big improvements to the game, Bethesda is giving up 'Skyrim' at a 33% discount - just $49.99.
