I remember this being announced to a big fan fare… And now it’s being quietly dropped. Shame on them. 1%? They didn’t even try.

The processor in 3 is a pretty sizeable improvement over 2. A quick and dirty a/b test I did found frames rendered in 13ms on q2 would render in 9-10ms on q3, so that’s a good 20 - 30% faster, even though it’s rendering a lot more pixels.

I think the important bit for meta though is making sure their range of headsets all have decent passthrough. No one is going to develop MR apps, and it’ll never take off, unless the whole user base can use them.

Personally I’d take the better lenses and resolution of the q3 over better passthrough though.

Maybe. But I don’t think it’s anything other than a big defeat for them. Nothing beats being beamed into people’s living rooms to give you accessibility and credibility. Even if they become more extreme online there’s a lot of competition in that space.

The first one did a really good job of having an interesting range of guns and abilities which were very well balanced. There was no ‘best gear’. I’m sure they’re able to have things worth buying that don’t give you an unfair advantage over people who haven’t. It’s a morally hazardous area though.

Slap City is a brilliant super smash style brawler. I play it couch coop a lot, it’s always a blast. Very well made.

It looks like the biggest culprit is poor or non existent lod’s on the models. Strikes me as odd though as that’s a pretty basic art requirement for a game like this. I don’t see how this took them by suprise.

I guess the good news is that’s it’s easily fixable. It’s not like ksp2 which looks like it has some pretty unsolvable core issues.

In vr please.

I’m not sure why they they threw that in… that’s not really a problem as far as I’m aware. Maybe they consider it a gateway to gambling?

Enter the Gungeon is a steal at that price. And so is West of Dead.

Huh, you’re right. I must’ve caught a misleading headline then.

Swappable batteries and gyro controls. Good stuff.

Am I the only one who thinks this is funny? It’s a joke people.

Amen.

Do you mind? I’m trying to be righteously infuriated over here.

Exactly, he bought it by accident.

Can’t wait. Helldivers is a superb 4 player combat strategy, brutal but fair and very rewarding with a good team.

I wonder if they can pull off the transition to first person.

Technical artist for real-time. Mainly vr. 9/10. I think it’s the most interesting job in the world, where art and tech meet, my two favourite things. Plus I get to work from home on cool stuff, and the turnover of new projects several times a year keeps it fresh. I think the worst part of the job is that it’s a bit niche so you can’t really talk about your work with anyone out of the industry. There’s no frame of reference. My friends and family don’t really know what I do.
