Valve to show off new game/experience at VR Showcase (Jan 28th) - Polidicks

So you're taking the extreme and using it as the basis for your argument. Yeah, that's not solid ground. [editline]17th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=eirexe;49550259]they did use half life 2 as a tech demo, as in the full game[/QUOTE] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ddJ1OKV63Q[/media]

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;49550388]So you're taking the extreme and using it as the basis for your argument. Yeah, that's not solid ground.[/QUOTE] Is it the extreme? I think it's a basic concept of the series - to run and gun. I'll say it again that you CAN make an HL universe experience in VR but you cannot make Half-Life 3.

The Vive can function perfectly fine without the room sensors in place, they're by no means mandatory for the majority of VR titles. Many VR titles wouldn't even have a use for them. So this "You'd HAVE to use them and get up and run and dodge and dive!" thing just doesn't work.

Seated playing with Controller/KBM makes it nauseating for people with motion sickness, and there's no point in playing VR if you're going to be seated. Might as well be using 3d glasses.

Any game that isn't exclusive to the Vive absolutely will no make it mandatory, and likely won't have it at all, because they'll want cross-compatibility with other VR headsets. And people have been playing with VR seated fine for a while now, or they've got controllers. Or they've got flight sticks, or steering wheels, whatever they'd normally use for a game. Again, an extreme.

[QUOTE=Passing;49548293]Valve doesn't create games anymore, they get others to do it. Which is interesting because they are suppose to hire the best in the industry which raises the question of what do they do with their time?[/QUOTE] What are priorities and allocation of resources Just because Valve hasn't made a game in a whole less than 3 years, it doesn't mean they're never going to make games ever again. They've just viewed VR and technology development as a priority for the past few years, and they don't have the resources to work on that, a new engine, steam, and games at the same time.

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;49546065]They should have outright stated "This isn't a Half Life entry" if it wasn't, Valve is going to have a lot of upset people if it's a port of Portal or a new L4D[/QUOTE] You're joking, right [editline]17th January 2016[/editline] Like I know this post is 4 pages late but lmao seriously

Actually, Ricochet would work great with the Vive. The Vive let's you walk around a small space, Ricochet is all tiny platforms over the void. It's absolutely perfect.

said game will more than likely take full advantage of all the capabilities of the vive. Half life is DEFINITELY the wrong choice for this.

Looks like it was all a ruse, HTC lied again [quote=Chet Faliszek] Just to clarify for everyone, the content showcase is about highlighting select 3rd party experiences. Valve is not showing content there. [/quote] [URL]https://twitter.com/chetfaliszek/status/688828893428453377[/URL]

nnnnoooope [media]https://twitter.com/chetfaliszek/status/688828893428453377[/media]

Damnit, HTC.

aw, they've done some really good vr demos. Would have been nice, oh well.

God fucking damn HTC....

One disappointment after another.

Not even surprised one bit.

Lmao the disappointment never fucking ends.

hope you guys aren't blaming valve for this lol

dream is over.

Why do you guys do this to yourselves

[QUOTE=Swiket;49553103]Why do you guys do this to yourselves[/QUOTE] Wasn't really our faults considering how HTC worded it

[QUOTE=Swiket;49553103]Why do you guys do this to yourselves[/QUOTE] HTC uttered the words "valve is unveiling" it's their fault, what else could they expect?

[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;49553416]HTC uttered the words "valve is unveiling" it's their fault, what else could they expect?[/QUOTE] he would have a point if you finished that quote "valve is unveiling disappointment"
