Rift, Vive, and Virtual Reality

It is an interesting HMD. I've heard of problems with mura and geometric distortion. You will want to wait for production models to be in users' hands though before coming up with any kind of opinion about it. The Crystal and Crystal Light have been a rough ride.

Those SMAS speakers attached to all the demo units are terrible by the way. The frequency response is like AM radio.

This is really great. I've been playing the PC version. I've put a few hours into Jedi Outcast and have almost finished the mine level. It is so fascinating to be inside an old game that you know really well. Who woulda thunk it that 20 years later it would have a free VR source port playable.

It has just about everything you could ask for in VR options and control. Super clean image too, like full anisotropic filtering and SSAA.

yeah these games and doom 3 are what made me jump in and create a steam account to buy the games and play them in VR on my quest a few months ago.

I still have the CDs. I see they are working on Return to Castle Wolfenstein for PC VR as well. I look forward to playing that too.

I haven't messed with Doom3 on PC VR. I have it on PSVR though. It's pretty neat with the Aim controller.

Crysis VR v1.0 - full roomscale and motion controls






He also has Far Cry VR

 
Rumors on valves next VR device are saying this year at $1200 and valve will be selling it at a loss even with that price tag.

timestamped.
 
I think they will need to launch a substantial game alongside it if they want to draw a large audience to the HMD.

There have been some clues that there is a Half Life game in development over there but not necessarily for VR. We'll see.

Anyone who's played HLA are probably hoping for the sequel so I personally hope that is the game you mentioned there. But I agree at that price they need something to sell it, slightly better looking multi platform ports aint gonna cut it.
 
Just a heads up in case you don't have it
StarWars Squadrons is £3.49 (-90%)
