if deckard turns out to be inside out tracked with a depth sensor to scan the playspace instead of having to manually set it like how quest 3 is said to have soon I will scream

Steam vs Apple future is becoming apparent. This is the kind of competition this market needs.

AProfessional,

If Apple actually wants to compete in affordable VR gaming maybe.

cryptiod137,

Seemingly apple doesn’t want VR gaming at all, so that should be an easy win

This makes me more confident that their next hardware release will be a standalone/PC hybrid VR headset to compete with the quest 2/3.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

Speculation is strongly leaning toward it not being a standalone device and instead being in the WMR/PSVR space. Possibly coupled with a return of “Steam Machines” for a tv/console experience.

I would still prefer a standalone/hybrid. But with wireless a lot of the need for that goes away. Same with if the Steam Deck is powerful enough for stuff like h3vr and other “standalone” levels of games (and, back of the envelope, it is very much capable of that).

And I think the bigger advantage will likely be to focus on OS agnostic support for the HMD itself since that is kind of a cluster. Probably will still mean everything runs on steamvr (which makes porn apps a bit risky), but will couple well with unity’s cock up and people generally getting pissy if you remind them that “meta” is “facebook”.

Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow,

As long as it’s wireless it doesn’t need to be standalone. How many VR users take their HMD outside their home?

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever, (edited )

It is less about taking your HMD on the go and more about not needing a computer. For a lot of people, having a “gaming rig” is very intimidating. And, as the quest (and steam deck…) have shown, you don’t really need too powerful of a computer to run “basic” vr, but you do need the right ports and so forth.

But also? A lot of people have a complete potato of a laptop that can’t even do that.

For me? Standalone does indeed matter less than wireless. But wireless is expensive radios and power issues. Whereas standalone that I can plug in if I want to play Alyx or something with better visuals? That is my jam

Also: Standalone lets you go to a different room. Whereas you don’t want to get too far away from the radio dongle with a wireless setup. Which gets back to porn apps and maybe wanting a wank in your bedroom instead of the office. Or… having more room to move around when you play Gorn, sure.

Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow,

Valve are releasing a self contained PC with the wireless built in.

bingbong,

will still mean everything runs on steamvr (which makes porn apps a bit risky)

Please tell me there’s a solution 🥺

XTornado,

I never looked into it but what is the risk!? Like can you just use another account like for normal non VR games? Or this about something else?

bingbong,

Oh, I didn’t know you could just use another account

Good to know… For a friend of course

Cheap steam vr headset anyone?

@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

So when can we try it with a new afordable Steam PC headset?

LufyCZ,

Pretty sure it’s supposed to launch together with HL3 👍

cryptiod137,

2014 can’t come soon enough!!

Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow,

Probably in 10 years when 4k per eye displays cost $2.50 and Wifi 9 can transmit DisplayPort 3 with low latency.

I mainly like that it shows non vr games in the recent games now. It was an absolute pain to navigate and find a flat game, even if I had just played it a minute earlier.

Uncle_Iroh,

Why play flat games in vr

pigeon_tonic,

Bigger screen

Uncle_Iroh,

Huge degredation in quality

rustyricotta,

My main use case is that it lets me play laying down in my bed. It’s pretty great for my back.

Uncle_Iroh,

Ah fair enough, I watch my series like that sometimes.

New chat tools, a better keyboard, and a new store interface

The new features since the headline is a little too clickbaity

Atomic, do games w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'

Todd Howard. The CEO of the company which games are world famous for their bugs.

When you play their games. You learn to quicksave before doing anything. Because you never know when opening a door will send a cheese flying at Mach 5 and hit you in the face.

He’s the guy who says my PC is the problem? Not their shitty code? Okay.

Just upgrade your PC 4head

GBU_28, do games w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'

Y’all are surprised the boss of a AAA studio suggested you buy hardware from companies he has a deeply vested interest in?

It’s all one big circle jerk of companies and anyone buying “cutting edge” gets what they deserve.

You’re the product in more ways than one

Zeppo,

You’re literally the consumer in this instance. The game is the product. The computer is the product.

gearheart, do games w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'

I expected this once everyone kept buying into nvidias dlss.

Nvidia and dlss will be required to get titles to run decently.

Minimal game optimization will be done on majority of future game titles.

Fml

TheFerrango,

Minimal game optimization will be done on majority of future game titles.

That’s more optimisation than we get now

Pocketyeti, do games w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'

Why upgrade when I will just pick it up on the PS7, 10 years from now, along with the Skyrim bundle.

manastorm, do games w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'

I have a i9 13900k and a Radeon 7900xtx, 64GB RAM and I had to refund on steam it because it would keep crashing to desktop every few minutes. Sometimes I would not even get passed the Bethesda into Logo before crashing. Very frustrating experience to say the least.

entropicshart,

I have a i7-10700k/32gbRAM/3080ti - playing the game at 4k with all settings to max (without motion blur ofc) and with almost 80hrs into the game, I have yet to have a single crash or performance issue.

Only realized people were having issues when I saw posts and performance mods popping up.

@AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca avatar

I mean, the game definitely runs like shit but if you keep crashing that sounds like a you problem. My 7600x/6700XT/32GB DDR5 build hasn’t crashed once in 15 hours of playtime and I’ve heard a ton of complaints about the game but barely any about crashing.

@ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

Oh, only a 7900xtx? lol

thanevim, do games w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'

If he's telling us this, does that mean we get to bill him for the upgrade?
