Quoting: devnullNext question is shipping from where. I don't know of any distributor with stock yet.

From the USA. They build that stuff in their own factory.

Quoting: TheBardSteam Play is a wonderful thing but we still need two things:

• Linux sales that count as Linux ones and not Windows


• Official Linux support either natively or via Steam Play

It is known since the release of Proton that your game will count as a Linux sale if you play it with Linux.

Quoting: MayeulCI had a blast with this one, was really surprised at how smoothly it went. However, I agree that I am a bit afraid they might add some anti-cheat and ruin compatibility with Proton.

Anti-Cheat is for competetive games, though. Risk of Rain doesn't need that.

Quoting: Hal_KadoLooks like an unintentional leak to me. I think the interesting bit is the multiple cameras seem to indicate inside-out tracking, but they are still offering base stations....perhaps the headset will offer both options (which would be awesome IMO). It also seems virtualLink will not make it into this headset.

The cameras won't be for inside-out tracking, just for pass-through and maybe handtracking or something.

"Following the leak of the Steam product page for the Valve Index headset (detailed below), a spokesperson for Valve tells Road to VR that the information “while not comprehensive, is accurate.” The spokesperson also said that the company is targeting May 1st for a full reveal of the headset which will include pre-orders, with shipping planned some time in June (though the exact date is not yet confirmed). Knuckles will also be sold alongside Index, and Valve plans to call them “Valve Index Controllers” going forward."

Quoting: NezchanSo is this one actually designed with people who wear glasses in mind? As far as I can tell, every VR headset on the market so far treats that as an afterthought, which is weird given the sheer number of glasses-wearers, presumably even on the engineering teams.

From what I've heard the Vive always had enough room for glasses. I'm sure Valve will do the same with the Index.

It's not as good, but still very good and most of all: affordable. That was his argument. It's not that expensive anymore to get a good taste of VR.

Quoting: TheRiddickWaiting for the day when Vive and Rift companies suddenly decide to go for large FOV headsets (110fov is not large, 180 is). I really don't like the idea of wearing a ski-mask, surprised so many people are content with that, it would drive me mad!

Get a Pimax?

Quoting: ValckBetter, yes.

Much much better than that stuff from the 90s.

Quoting: ValckMore affordable, marginally.

Marginally? When the Vive came out it was like 800-900€/$. The WMR headsets are already being sold for 200$.

Quoting: SolitaryPrice of admission will go down with every VR generation.

That has been the mantra for the last 25 years – anyone remember the VFX-1 and Cybermaxx? Good times were had in Descent, back in the 90's...

Because the technology wasn't there yet. It's pretty damn good right now and more and more affordable. The PSVR is rather cheap and even those WMR HMDs are supposedly rather fine.
