Really disappointing to see that the Steam Frame is a standalone headset. On the other hand, I guess it’s safe to place my order for Bigscreen Beyond now.
It can’t use the same compute power for both simultaneously. Take the same hardware and remove the local gaming and suddenly you need much less power/have much more power. Not to mention you don’t need a battery.
The battery is on your head, with the rest of the headset. Weight is a concern of the power required, not the available compute. The bigger concern is cost.
Do you wear a counterweight with your sunglasses? No one complains about the lack of counterweight on a Bigscreen. In fact everyone seems to agree it’s the most comfortable headset ever.
Nonexistant because it doesn’t have inside-out tracking…
the cameras themselves are not the problem, it’s all the processing and cooling required to make that work along with the processing for passthrough and many other things. I doubt this headset would be much lighter if it was not standalone and still had inside out tracking.
Wow it’s actually a usb-a port, I don’t know how they’re sending that much data over it but it’s certainly close to its limits, there’s a reason most monitors aren’t usb and all usb webcams suck
Well I think you have a great conclusion that the bigscreen is probably a better fit for you since this headset might not fit your needs. I love my bigscreen v2 would definitely recommend (though I do hate the cable and the swimming goggles effect, and the eye tracking sucks right now) but other than that it is awesome
According to LTT, the section containing the computer just weights under 190 grams (that’s about the weight of an average medium-sized apple).
The battery is the counterweight… which is actually a good thing to have… I have a fist generation Quest and the main problem with that one was the weight distribution. Adding weight to the back actually made it more bearable. Just by looking at how thin the front part of this one is, I can tell this is gonna be so much more comfortable.
I don’t think you understand. Native rendering requires more powerful, more expensive processors than streaming does. Simple as. Doesn’t matter what the price point is, it’s going to be cheaper when streaming.
Definitely check out the first Darkwood! It’s story, atmosphere, and sound design are all amazing (here’s a good video essay if you don’t plan on playing). The lore stays fascinating if you want to do an even deeper dive. Zero jumpscares. I don’t want to say what the game’s about because it’s best going in not knowing anything.
It’s not 343, most of that leadership has left or fired. It’s Halo Studios now, game runs UE for graphics and the Blam! engine underneath for AI and everything else.
Yes, it is still 343. “Halo Studios” has most of the same people working at it as 343. Literally 343 wearing Mustache Glasses.
They changed their studio name because the 343 reputation was so bad, they needed to try to trick consumers into thinking the next Halo game wasnt made by them to get any sales.
Had this on my watch list for a long time and every new video it keeps looking better. I’m still of two minds about the black-and-white - I get the idea and it works for the theme but I can’t decide if it’s worth it or if I miss the detail color would add. But at the same time maybe it would make it too bright and cheerful for the setting and story?
Still looks super cool and I’m looking forward to playing it.
I just warned them of how the next-gen patch broke the game on consoles and Bethesda refused to fix it even after modders showed them how. Did they ever fix it? It was so bad that some stores (like GOG) refused to carry the next-gen patch, or at least they made it optional. I still have Fallout 4 SPECIAL pre-next-gen. And I can play it on Mac. ;) (I also own it on Xbox, but it’s unplayable there.)
I’ve played kingdom hearts last year for the first time ever. I played them all in order of release on the (emulated) console. This year I started them on PS5 remastered. Somehow playing it on the OG hardware was a better experience.
