I guess Source 2 VR engine being made Free to Use. Considering some of the snippets in teh leaked talk segment mentioned how hard it was to make the engine work perfectly in VR.Finally I can talk about this :)
First had the privilege of playing and working on it a bit over 2 years ago during my time at Valve. It was honestly already a crazy amazing experience back then, Valve has poured so much love, care, and though into the next story in the Half-Life universe. I can't even imagine how much they've polished it these last two years.
If the direction is still the same as it was some time ago, there's another huge announcement tied to this that'll likely happen simultaneously or soon after, which nobody has heard or mentioned anything of. That could mean it was scrapped or is under particularly tight wraps. I'm hoping for the latter :)
Knowing Valve they caught wind of the leaks and decided to drop it themselves so as to cut the press cycle short from all the absurd speculation.
If it's eyetracking I'm going to get chills.

Extra hard to be excited about a VR game that'll only be on Vive :(
Why would it be exclusive to the Vive, you are aware Valve aren't even partnered with HTC anymore right? lmaoExtra hard to be excited about a VR game that'll only be on Vive :(

I was, in fact, not aware of that!
Well, that gives me some hope then.
It won't be exclusive to any headsets. Man I feel bad for PR spokesmen.I was, in fact, not aware of that!
Well, that gives me some hope then.
So the answer would be for affordable VR, no?There are so many people here surprised by this?
So many people truly had no idea?
this has been a thing for over 2 years now.
It has been a thing of when not if.
imagine the show when everyone finds out you can ONLY play this in VR no "2D" version.
so pretty limited who can afford to play this.
So the answer would be for affordable VR, no?
$199 start point?
$250 game pack in.
Book it.
Shake the whole industry.
$99 ~ $150 then? ;)you can already buy VR headsets for less than $199. You can buy an HP Windows VR headset right now brand new from them for $180.
But would it be an acceptable VR experience for the masses?The Dell Windows VR headsets on ebay seem to be going for about $100-$130.
Alrighty then, sounds good.

What are your thoughts on what will be announced Krejlooc?
You can't wait either :)
I am getting firmly behind this.
Newell and team did later confirm that these were not smaller experiments, but intended to be new "full games", as opposed to the vignette-style demonstrations shown in Valve's The Lab. Valve expects to sell these new games, and is using both Unity and its own Source 2 engine to develop them.
I'm trying to imagine a game like that. Help me out.
Maybe more interesting is this might be our first look at next gen visuals, we haven't see a AAA PC exclusive that pushes visuals in a while, unless Valve is still using source engine lmao.
