Daily reminder that Valve’s next VR headset will be running a Linux ARM version of SteamOS tailored for XRIt will include its own standalone Linux ARM Steam clientAnd will launch with “Steam Play 3.0” which will be able to play Android ARM, Windows ARM, and Windows x86 games
okso?
As someone who loves VR, I still have to ask: Where are the games?
>windows ARM gamesdo those even exist
>>724543125BASED
>>724545651I wouldn't say I love vr but I would like to see it be sustainable, and I agree this is what's really holding it back not the tech
>windows armWhat the lelThough admittedly a valve backed android layer would be great, I mean there always seems to be something wrong with them.Notice our boy Timmy has android games on Epic, while there's no cross buy, the games are notably cheaper than PC counterparts..
>>724543125>stand-alone>inside-out tracking Even "dead on arrival" is giving it too much credit. That's dead at conception.
I'll buy it if its good for porn
>>724543125I love VR but valve won't save it. The fact they still want to put the processing inside of it means it will be heavy and with bad graphics, meaning that people won't want to use it for long.They will put the computing inside because VR is for children who play hypercasual games with horrible graphics and for techie bros to open windows and pretend they are cyberpunk.VR needed 20 Alyxs level games before it tried to appeal to a bigger demographic. Anything that comes to VR now is for general casual use audiences, not dedicated ones. It's dead.
>>724543125just as long as it means we're getting a general ARM steam linux client i'll be happy. having to run steam under FEX interpretation is a pain>t. radxa orion o6 ARMv9 board user
>>724547687>VR needed 20 Alyxs levelIt needs multiple self-sustaining multiplayer ecosystems that retain players for a long period of time. A polished single-player game like Half-Life Alyx is nice, but it's not enough to keep people in the system. There's VRChat but that's it.
>>724547687It’s already been speculated that the Quest 3 is just as powerful to a GTX 1050 and a 8 year old i5 4 core 8 thread CPU which is actually just right at the most minimal specs that Half-Life Alyx could run at 72hz and low graphics and 1080p per eye. VR games today (Look at the system specs for Forefront, Battlefield VR clone game that’s coming on Quest 3 and Steam in a week) on PC are still designed for like GTX 9 series and 4 core CPUs because how every VR game is designed for quest 3. I’m sure with a better hardware chip to cut through translation overhead, it’s basically a Quest 3 level performant headset which is fine because VR games on PC aren’t really demanding anymore
>spec fags fuming cause valve couldn't put a Ryzen Al Max+ 395 into their budget headset
>>724545902No
>>724549238That isn't happening, and it certainly isn't happening in this thread. Make better bait.
>>724550812It’s because he read one line from the post above and thought it was some spec fag fuming lmfao
>>724548987Some dude imported all the alyx assets without optimization to run a unity demo and it hovers around 50-72fps in the intro at 2k per eyeThat's with no optimizations. VR devs are simply hacks. The best looking quest games we've got is ghost town and they coped out with 45fps ASW's to 90. Meta reprojection algorithim is the best of everything else but holy fuck if that doesn't tell you about the state of the industry.
