I think you get access to mobile games through your Netflix subscription. I know they released some games that were only playable on android through them.
This is like one of those parody commercials. "Coming soon for the Microsoft Xbox, the Sony Playstation, the Nintendo Switch, the App and Play store, the Nokia N-gage, the Samsung fridge, Netflix, Nintendo Famicom, your toaster, Kindle, as a shadow puppet theater, "
I own RDR2 already and would sooner die than play multiplayer or pay for it again if you know what I mean. I honestly don’t have much interest in GTA6 unless it’s the gaming equivalent of a black swan event. Rockstar has little to offer me at this point and the will get no more of my money
Only for the small percentage of people who follow news about gaming companies. Vast majority of people haven’t heard anything negative, let alone do they give a shit. They might have ruined their reputation for you, personally; but they’re going to do just fine. Nintendo has shown that it doesn’t really matter what your company culture is or what practices you engage in; if you make fun games that are fun, people will buy them.
There is an alternate universe out there where the N-gage was a smash hit, Nokia is reigning supreme in the handheld market and we’re all rocking gull-wing phones.
PS5 still has no games. It’s an anomonly. Even after 5 years and dozens of games, the console still has no games. Wow. Truly one for the history books. I can see why Sony is already talking about releasing the PS6.
Yeah, I’m surprised the original commentor is getting downvoted. This console generation has been terrible, PC is doing better, but really only due to smaller indie games.
Oh, this video by Digital Foundry is also relevant:
Hands-On With Steam Machine: Valve’s Beautiful PC/Console - Specs, Impressions And More www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rv83LgXiN0
I’m looking forward to the Frame. I have no interest in giving any money to Meta and Valve has been great with Linux support. I’ve seen people complain about the specs, but if it’s a reasonable price it looks pretty good to me!
Also curious about the Frame. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my HTC Vive Pro 2 but it was $$$$$. The inside out camera based tracking is the way to go as long as they did it well. Also hoping they have some upper-tier audio hardware so you can use your own wired headphones.
I’m afraid of the price… this looks much more capable and powerful than the Index, which was quite expensive, I suspect it might end up in a similar price range, if not higher. But let’s hope.
Interestingly, it seems to be using a snapdragon ARM-based unit. Which means it requires another layer of emulation/translation for running Steam games standalone. It’s said it uses FEX (fex-emu.com), probably combined/integrated with Proton.
For a long time, there were $1200 rumors.
Now we have the “less than index”, which I believe spawned the “under $1000” rumors.
but since index has a huge range, depending on the accessories you buy with it “less than index”, can mean anything from <$600 to <$1100.
But in reality this has to compete with Quest 3, and preferably also with Quest 4 when that releases.
So I think it really should be on the lower side. <$600 would be good, <$500 would be great, <$700 would be okay
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.
