Yeah I really want one once they release, they seem great. But also I dunno if I can spare the price of a used car lol
I'm not sure I even really want one. Not much in terms of software once meta started buying all the game companies and shutting them down.
I briefly had a PS4 with VR, and it filled me with childlike joy. It was everything I imagined gaming to be like as a kid, even with the jank. I played some firearms simulator game, beat sabre with no mods, and bonked bandits in Skyrim with my chainsaw sword (the game was bugged like how you could cheat at Wii tennis by flailing your arm rapidly). I want more of that. Plus VR horror is supposed to be something else, I want to actually shit myself
I had vr in the semi early days and I know that feeling. There was really something special about just the scale and perspective that brings child like wonder.
I would love for a second wave of vr games to become popular but if that would of happened it would of happened through meta because they have the actual sales numbers to support it somewhat.
I don't think enough people are going to buy the steam frame and inspire a second big wave of vr devs. Its going to help the older games get a short burst of sales and those devs will just have to make a patch to be playable on the frame.
I think at most the frame will do decent, but more importantly all the work that went Into fex/lepton will get fleshed out more and more to the point you are playing full PC games on your phone.
In my opinion the steam frame is a wash and I want it only as a steam fan boy. I'd still get it if it was going to be cheap but with how thongs are going I just don't see it being a success. I can't justify spending 1200+ USD on something to play a unsupported/abandonded 20 dollar game from 8+ years ago. And there's only maybe 3 games I see as worth while, and aren't just a tech demo like the walking the plank simulator.
The only thing I can see being a turning point is if there was a way to convert games into vr kind of like that unreal engine mod. And that would have to be universal and easy to use like proton is.
