Valve is also working on the Knuckles controllers which are by far the most impressive of the upcoming input controllers for VR, which are supposed to release early next year.  Supposedly the headset will be bundled with the Knuckles controllers and Half Life VR.. and will have a 135' FOV and Vive PRO resolution.  It's meant to counter Oculus and the Rift S update.

 

If the price is right, I'm there.

Surprising given how the VR didn't took off as expected. Is the PC VR market large enough to support Rift, Vive and this? 

The potential market is huge.  Vive and Oculus just haven't done the best at tapping into that market.. which Valve maybe thinks it can do better.

 

It's why price is important.. as well as features.  This new headset could have improved tracking and positional cameras, it could also be completely wireless.  Just the ease of use alone without tons of cables would lower the barrier to entry for a lot of people.  People don't want to deal with add on shit and wires everywhere.

 

Also (while I don't believe it yet) a Half Life VR game would definitely move some units and headsets.  Since it would be on Steam, it would likely be available to all Vive/Valve/Oculus owners.

It's Valve. lol  Do we actually think that a new Half Life will be coming out? come on dude. 

Oh lol.

 

Yea, I'm skeptical.  But apparently it's known at this point that they are working on it.  Will probably be some little HL themed tech demo and not an actual game :(

If it's just for VR then prepare to get a diablo immortals reaction from fans 

Yea, lmao..  Would Valve even care though?  It would move a lot of units, especially if it was an actual full fledged VR game which did some cool new stuff.

 

It's not like people are expecting HL3 anymore...  Not exactly like the Diablo situation anyway.

 

Would probably be a tech demo or a remake of the first one or something? lol

PICK UP THAT TRASH CAN!

 

Someone need to make a godly singleplayer full fledge FPS in VR already.

It could definitely be amazing.  Would also be a huge boost to VR in general to have an IP of that magnitude release for it.

 

What would be amazing and the best of both worlds, would be if the VR game was a prelude of the events leading up to a full fledged HL3 sequel.  People would be running out and buying these things left and right, imo.
