Reports: Valve making their own VR HMD and apparently a new VR Half-Life

That's the thing. What do you think would happen if Blizzard would release Diablo 4 only on phones?
And of course Valve will release more AAA VR titles to push VR. Using the Half Life brand to expand the universe is fine. I'm looking forward to that one very much. But they can't do that with HL3.

Quoting: lelouchIt will take many years (even with a cheaper HMD) until there's a majority of people with VR. But that's not the point. The point is that a HL3 VR would exclude people who want to see how the story goes on. Doing that would be insane and nothing compared to the Diablo Immortal shitstorm - and even that wasn't really deserved, as it's just a spinoff/prequel and not Diablo 4.Quoting: kuhpunktNo, "Don't you get that?"!!! The news above is about a new VR-Headset, explicitly it will be cheaper of course. And you thinking it will be released 'tomorrow'. *nuts*. You need patience.Quoting: lelouchBut you would completely exclude everybody else from playing the game if they don't have this expensive accessorize. That would be nuts. Don't you get that?Quoting: kuhpunktYou make no sense - here is the talking about making a Story-FPS more immersive and moving to VR - nothing to do with a card game conversion lol.Quoting: lelouchSo? That's still dumb. That's like making 2 movies and then releasing the third part of the story as a card game.Quoting: kuhpunktI'm still baffled how many people think that HL3 would be a VR game. That makes no sense and would be a very very dumb idea.No, it wouldn't. Obviously Valve is waiting for the right time - VR is affordable for everyone in the future like it was for smartphones (2007) at some point, and the internet and computers in the past and so on ....
Only a few had the first expensive smartphones and LED-TVs, too.
So hope you finally get it, that all others got, but not you, READ down below!:
Valve makes a new VR affordable for everyone, at some point specific in the future (NOT next week, NOT next month) they will release it, so the majority/enough will have VR. After that they will probably release some AAA-VR-games. And of course not 100% of all pc gamers will have the hardware, but e.g. 60-80% will and it will rise further with good games (not the 2h-VR-walking-games rubbish of today). That's enough. In Free-2-Play titles it's even enough for the companies that 1% buy things in-game with real money.
At the time HL2 came out, do you think my computer at this time could play it. Only a few had the hardware AND the internet for the new "steam client" force (w/o cracks).
In the 90s I bought a 200€ addon-card Diamond Monster 3D just for 1 game (plus 60€). (games were far better in the 90s - so everyone did it)
Valve doing a long term strategic plan.

I'm talking about HL3. Not the proclaimed prequel. Huge difference.

Quoting: EikeHelp selling VR devices is one thing. Pissing off people by excluding them is another thing.Quoting: kuhpunktBut you would completely exclude everybody else from playing the game if they don't have this expensive accessorize. That would be nuts. Don't you get that?It might help sell more expensive devices. Nobody knows if it would work out or not.

Quoting: dannielloHalf-Life VR? I want to be wrong, but it could be disaster comparable only to Diablo Immortal. It is not what Half-Life fans want! At least they informed us about it before official announcement, so perhaps expectations will be reduced.But why not? It would be like Doom VFR. A spin off, that's not required, not a sequel and integral part of the story. HL3 only for VR would be a disaster, but something else in the HL universe? I'm waiting.

If HL3 would be only in VR... don't you think people would be pissed big time? People that just want to play the game and see where the story goes next. They can't do that if they have to invest in additional hardware for A LOT of money.
Also the gameplay has to be changed rather drastically.

Quoting: GoboBut VR is no system. The PC/Steam is the system. It's not like it's a new console generation, where you need to follow the natural evolution of hardware.Quoting: kuhpunktI'm still baffled how many people think that HL3 would be a VR game. That makes no sense and would be a very very dumb idea.No, it's a decades old practice called "system seller".
Bundle the new HMD with other hardware like controllers, steam link, a steam box with the most prominent games store and you will be able to build your own eco system.
Might not be the most possible way to work out in this case, but it's certainly not unheard of.

So you don't know what it means. You just use it as an insult, because that's the person you are.

Quoting: GuestCome on, hashtags are serious business that can be 'abused' now? What has the world come to man? People actually care about hashtags? For real?Of course they can be abused to gain attention. That's what happened.
