Do something about the price and offer some color variants, and you might have yourself a deal. I'm still waiting on some decent VR games though.
I want to be rich.
I will wait for the Vive X, thanks.
And still, no one cares. VR isn't taking over people. Sorry.
Why such a stupid comment, who said VR is taking over? PS VR however is hovering around 2.5 million headsets sold alone and we are only just 15 months into it. It's doing fine considering it was a $400 accessory!
Yeah...this internet...I don’t think it’s ever going to become a mass medium either
Show me the games and ill consider. Like the PSVR indy and 3rd party multi plats isnt going to convince me. 1st party and big VR only games will sell it.
Valve has stated that they are developing: "three full VR titles".
Just keep in mind, the last time they promised something that large...
Valve dont believe in the number 3 so i call BS already haha
Classical chicken-egg situation is all I’ll say about that.
Regardless if the titles actually come out: Valve is developing Source 2.
Assuming they are developing VR features into Source 2, it could be a boon for the VR ecosystem.
When Gabe was asked if the three titles are using Source 2 or Unity he replied: "Both actually".
