There’s no shortage of speculation when it comes to all things Valve. Tyler McVicker, YouTuber and one of the leading voices dedicated to deciphering Valve’s various internal developments, however now reports that not only is the company’s long-awaited standalone VR headset still coming, but it may arrive alongside its own Half-Life game.
Valve’s much hyped standalone, known only as ‘Deckard’, is “still very much in production,” McVicker maintains, saying that according to his sources that Valve “still intend[s] on shipping this piece of hardware.
How do you actually make this work without making a separate game that just uses the same maps and weapons? Even then things won’t be designed in a way that you’d like, and a lot of what makes the experience good would be lost.
You basically have to make a second game based on the VR game. This is why nobody really does that.
2D games translate to VR either by providing virtual controls like in space, flight, and driving sims. Or they haphazardly stick cardboard cutout models that float through everything like in skyrim/fallout 4 VR.
Well made VR games with proper physics, like Boneworks, HL:Alyx, or Blade and Sorcery require an amount of input that you can’t get outside of VR.
To get the same amount of control you get in a well made vr game from KB+M you’d basically be playing QWOP.
There’s no way to get an equivalent of:
On a standard gamepad or kb+m. That’s before we talk about full-body tracking. If you make a game that really takes advantage of all of that, there’s no way to make it translate well.
Well they had 20+ years to figure that out
Also this is a very serious reply to a poop and pee comment
