They are, yes, but that's not a "requirement". We also have no clue if it will also include a C to 3 adapter, plus it could well be overkill, a fiber optic cable with USB ends, I'm not sure if that will make a difference given it still connects to USB and is limited by its bandwidth anyway but we'll see whenever that comes along if it provides a better experience or not compared to other high quality cables that are bound to be tested or even made specifically for such a use case.
This is the "diablo-clone" one right? I have had on my list since launch but that still seems too high given the reviews. This looks like a perfect bundle game down the line for me.

You mentioned this before but never replied to me, kind sir, do you have anything new to add or are you stuck on repeat?
In the drive by posters defense, I will say that the PC VR space is still for more well heeled gamers. It isn't as expensive as it once was, when it was for like the 1% of gamers back in 2016-2017 but now its for like the top 20% of games. Not all PC gamers have a ton of money and although I appreciate the aspect of PC gaming that moves the medium forward in terms of both hardware and software, I still chaff at the assumption that everyone who identifies as a PC gamer has even halfway decent hardware. A lot of us don't.
Well the poster didn't talk about VR being expensive or wherever the poster has room for VR or not, but it being gimmicky.
Yes, although the "wealthy" is a direct reference to the cost of VR.
How do you know what it is or isn't without trying it? Not that I said it will match either of those 1:1 since it's obviously something different altogether, just as a GPU doesn't match a mouse 1:1 itself, but the comparison was appropriate since it allows a whole host of different experiences you simply can't have without it and can fundamentally change gameplay just as mouse controls or analog sticks and games just as GPUs did, the main difference being it won't necessarily replace what came before but instead co-exist, which doesn't make it any less important for gaming as a whole, just as 3D games didn't replace 2D games as everyone plays both but clearly the advent of 3D was a ground breaking milestone that changed the shape of gaming forever and continued(es) to improve it. So yes VR is more comparable in some ways to those advancements than comparable to some accessory like a racing wheel or a hotas flight kit or whatever because it applies to pretty much any genre or new experiences altogether and therefor gaming as a whole rather than restrict itself to specific niches (and can even take advantage of those accessories just as non VR PC games do if there's a need for or benefit from it).
Did you miss Steam China announcement?
lmao
He looks self-aware, yet I cannot burst his bubble by showing him my place, it would be such a shock.
I know VR isn't a gimmick and the games/experiences enabled by them are not gimmicks.
I'm not a fan of this take, at all.
There will probably be people who want to VR game or PC VR game on the lowest possible hardware too, so? I mean, there are already and that's all the"VR ready" guidelines were trying to help people with. I never said one who does that isn't a gamer either. Yes, they are. Just not what most discuss when on topic.
There is no onboard laptop GPU capable of supporting at VR headset, so they'll have to wait a few years.
Why, would you also be surprised if a new non-VR half-life was't compatible with smartphones that share oculus go specs?
I don't see how it would be possible for HLA to support PSVR due to PSVRs outdated tracking metod (no room scale) and the move controllers. Oculus Go is lacking even more than Oculus Quest and HLA is not coming to Quest as it is SteamVR exclusive and the Quest would be way too weak for HLA.
I haven't followed your discussions about HL Alyx, from the thread in depth.
Are the "" 's needed? No they aren't. So more affordable VR options are not good enough? Ok, in your opinion.
How's that a reply to anything I said? And no it's not an opinion that they aren't good enough for some things, some of which HL:A may want to do. Just fact.
Well, because HL was valves major franchise for many years and they we all widely accessible, Even HL2 could be played on an FX5200 and a PIII. The higher level PC VR set up that it is thought the new game is designed for isn't as accessible.
How is Half-Life 2 a 2004 PC game, running on low end PC hardware any kind of equivalent to Half-Life: Alyx, a 2020 (?) PC game not running on smartphone hardware like Oculus Go's that doesn't even have enough inputs to match 2004 PC games of the sort, never mind a 2020 PC game? A non VR Half-Life also wouldn't run on smartphones, or a Pentium III. Or at least it wouldn't be surprising if it didn't. I don't have a problem, I'm discussing.
What do you mean?
I'm saying point blank what I was surprised at!!! JFC, I just threw out the oculus go bc that's the entry VR experience and if valve is focused on VR, I'd expect them to offer a VR product that might translate down like the settings on a PC game.
Yeah, that answers my question, actually, so you an just sit down in front of a chair in the same area, no need to move anything?
And I'm explaining your surprise has no real basis when you wouldn't also be surprised a new PC Half-Life doesn't run on smartphones.
Thing is, making a VR game for PCVR and Oculus GO, built up, doesn't work in the same way like changing PC settings.
No. I setup-ed my Rift in january and the sensors which are tracking my headset and controllers have been in the exact same spot. If I start playing a game sitting and I decide to wanna stand or walk around I just stand up, move my chair and walk around. Some games of course are meant for sitting and some are meant for room scale (walking around) and between those I simply just stand up from my chair and move my chair away from me. Just make sure you move all furnite so you don't end up smashing something.
The problem is that you're not a fan of people pointing out that VR is expensive and that even a mid range pc gaming setup isn't in the budget of many gamers.
I get that it isn't the same and I understand the difference in features between different sets, I've seen them in person. It's weird to have a supposed AAA half life game to be released for such a small install base.
I had an Oculus Go for a short while and it is so limited compared to other VR headsets and missing almost all features that make VR worthwhile that I'd immediately lose trust in Valve doing anything interesting with HLVR if they'd support the Go or any of the other low-end sets. If your game can scale down to that level it can also be easily done as a kb/m controller FPS.
Valves whole point with HLA is to get people interested in PCVR and SteamVR. They don't need to sell millions of copies, they only need to make sure that people can see what PCVR can do and make people think about it.
I'm not a fan of any thing or any one in general, I don't the fan thing often, why is that a problem?
