It’ll be a busy E3 E3 press conferences are traditionally held by the three big console manufacturers.

The best Cyte-09 build in Warframe

Warframe: 1999doesn’t just have new content; there’s a new Warframe, too. It’s still early days with the community figuring out Cyte-09, but he’s shaping up to be quite powerful.

The Steam Controller looks different, again

It seems every time we check in with Valve’sSteam Controller, it’s undergone another significant change. Thelast design, which added a D-pad of sorts and A/B/X/Y buttons, was more in line with traditional gamepads. Now, if an image making the rounds today is to be believed, Valve has dropped the four directional buttons in favor of a left-hand thumbstick. Wonder where it’ll end up with the design by the time we can actually order one of these controllers....

Rob Bartholomew, Studio Brand Director for Creative Assembly, broke the news on the officialTotal Warwebsite with a short Q&A post about the decision....
