I really hope VR takes off. I haven’t been able to play VR because of Linux support issues or needs a PS5 and not that many titles I’m interested in are available, there is No Man’s Sky, Serious Sam, Skyrim and some others. But fuck, I imagine playing Armored Core 6 with VR would be bonkers. Like having strapping into a Mech with a HUD and rockets flying all over.
I imagine retrofitting games to provide two provide two camera views instead of one wouldn’t be super crazy work so just having more people with VR would increase the title count by a lot.
I’m currently looking at it costing me a fair bit of money to actually get a setup. Probably $500 for a used GPU and another $1200 for the headset that I barely can use with a young baby at home but in 5 years I could see myself getting into it.
One other thing that is understated is that this time it’s a buy once for a more than adequate system that has forward and backwards compatability with the Steam catalog of VR games.
Shit, I might finally get into VR. I hope it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
No, the headset cost a leg but comes with ARM.
Haha, good one dad
Early speculations were around $1200.
The only thing Valve would say was that it’s less than the old Index, so probably at least a little less than that.
Wait WHAT?!??!?! I didn’t hear that, if it is less than or hell even only slightly below the Index im absolutely buying it.
Source on that? I’ve been looking at all these aeticles being posted for a price or estimated price and haven’t even seen speculation.
There were several but GN off the top of my head.
You son of a _____ im in
I wonder how Godot and Blender will fare.
does blender have vr support?
Yes via OpenXR
Promising. I’m gonna play Witcher 3 and knock out all windows, cabinets and glassware in the house, and just embrace the shattering sounds as part of the ruckus in the game until there is only a barren tundra of unoccupied floor space 💪🏾
Nice product!
