Next-Gen has some great info from a recent Valve press event – a lot of interesting stuff, notably:
But perhaps the most compelling new feature, as far as convenience is concerned, will be the upcoming ability for users to access not only their Steam games from any PC (which they can do already), but also game-generated data such as saves and configurations, which will be stored transparently in Steam’s back-end. This feature, dubbed Steam Cloud, will first be rolled out in existing titles, and will be available for free to both developers and gamers.
Being a southpaw I find the WASD layout that is so in vogue these days rather uncomfortable, thus every time I sit down at another PC or format my own I have to go in and remap most of the common keys in all my games. What would be even better is if Steam games shared a set of “global” key settings – Movement, jump, crouch etc. – that I could set in Steam, and then I’d only have to rebind the keys unique to certain games.
