Nitpicky correction: the Ping tool was invented by the folks at Valve for Portal 2. Apex Legends copied it :P
Despite the high price, the initial batch of Valve Index headsets have sold out on pre-orders

Quoting: pbNow if only the test app [External Link] worked on Linux...

Quoting: pbBy the way, is valve index wireless? or does it at least have some accessory to make it wireless?
Not yet.

I'd like to know who those devs are that complain about Steam and what their games are. Of course it's hard to get noticed. No algorithm is going to change that. There is just so much competition from great games and not those "asset flips" that allegedly make it so hard. We can all play just so much.

Quoting: mike456I have the Samsung Odyssey. Could I use those Controllers? Setting up the Index controllers and Price seems not attractive to me. Thanks
You would need the base stations for that and you would have to calibrate it a lot.

Quoting: iiariNot using VR, can I ask a stupid question? Will this system allow you to use VR for existing titles out there (including Proton?), or only for games written specifically for this system?
Fully compatible with older VR games.

Quoting: gurvHey Liam, why no € prices in the article?
Since Steam only allows me to view prices in my local currency, I rely on others giving me the other prices. I usually use SteamDB to find them but I couldn't find the items listed there yet.
Complete package: 1079,--€
HMD + Controller: 799,--€
HMD: 539,--€
Controller: 299,--€
Lighthouse: 159,--€

Quoting: gomeraIt would be great if the controllers were compatible with HTC Vive, I wouldn't mind spending $280 for that lvl of hand tracking.
Ehm... they are. That's the whole point of SteamVR. You can upgrade what you want. I'll get the Index Controllers now and consider getting the HMD later.

Quoting: DerpFoxI guess we have now the proof Valve have completely gone insane and Artifact wasn't a good lesson.

1000€? Seriously? What are they thinking?

Good spec or not this is way over priced for the product to make it to the end of the year. Yet again an other Valve project that will follow the way of the Dodo.

The full pack should have been at 500€ MAXIMUM to be interesting. And at that price it would still have been really expensive. And a good price would have been 300€.

I hope for 1000€ all the Valve VR games and some other will come for free with it.

All these years and manpower wasted for nothing what a shame.
It's a better HMD set than the Vive Pro, which HTC sells for 1399€.
