      All I want is vr at the portability of the meta quest 3 minus Facebook from a company that has earned my truat.

      I’m looking to use it for both options. Lighter games I would love to use in standalone mode. Then if I want heavy VR like racing games, I can use my desktop for extra power.

    Honestly, I might be huffing hopium, but I’m holding out some hope for Monday. There’s been a lot of movement for weeks now, shipments to warehouses, drivers being marked as released in SteamDB, games getting marked as Steam Frame Compatible, stuff like this.

    Honestly, I expected it to become available right after the Steam Machine reservation process finished, but that was interrupted by the Summer Sale, which wrapped up on Thursday. They say never to release anything on a Friday, so… I’m hoping they’re just waiting until Monday to announce the price and open reservations.

      It shows 5 for me, but hopefully they’re going to be constantly adding more as their testing expands.

        Yeah. It shows me Titan Isles, Into Black, Portal 2, The Lab, and Aperture Hand Lab, with the last two being free tech demos. Adding this since it seems like the list may be somewhat location dependent, so those seeing fewer titles can tell what’s missing.

      And one is portal 2. Maybe it runs great on it, but i cant imagine it will be a pleasant experience.

      Soar through the air like an eagle piloting a blimp and itll be autobulimia

        I was reading in another thread that apparently with the portal vr mod, its actually a pretty good experience shockingly. I will probably try it as soon as I get a frame.

    I wish you guys knew how important this page itself is, more than the steam frame.

    As soon as that steam verification system gets going and fex gets more and more matured its going to be crazy for arm devices.

    Like im talking arch based arm OS’s are going to become more popular. You can already run red dead 2 at 720p at 60fps on a midrange modern pocco phone.

    When the steam deck released pretty much only native Linux games ran well, or small indie games worked with proton. The whole verification system and valve working on proton at the same time really kicked up the speed at which games “just worked.” These days I do not even have to look at proton GE I can just blindly buy new games and expect them to work. For example I bought “RV there yet” the day it was released and there was no indication anywhere that it was playable, but I bought it anyways and it ran fine.

    When I first started Linux so much of getting a game to run was making wine prefixes and guessing what thing in winetricks you needed to get it to work. I don’t know what miceosoftsppack2006 is but I can tell you thats one of the first things I threw in my prefix because it worked for a game before. Fex is going through that same phase right now, you can play these games on your phone right now but its a series of toggling on and off comparability layers, or what APIs like vulkan work for this game, but not that one, etc. The whole process of having it on the market, and the verfication system, etc need to be in motion.

    What I want more than anything is a billion dollars, but second to that is a top-down VR Zelda game. I fucking love A Link Between Worlds, and I can imagine a VR game like that where you look down at the world from above, and actually look behind objects. The idea of looking down on a tiny world and controlling a character like Link is so appealing.

    The game could hide secrets behind things in this way, or use it in puzzles. Maybe you would be able to spin the world around and look at it from different sides.

    Are there any existing games like that?

      I don’t know of any VR specific games like that. You should play Tunic if you haven’t, because it’s clearly Zelda inspired and makes use of perspective breaking your vision of hidden items and paths. Only other games I kinda of know of that have mechanics like that are Fez and and Screenbound, but they’re both more platformer than Zelda-like.
