The steam frame, while seemingly really cool, just won’t be able to handle the worst of pc vr chat because it’s 100% guaranteed to be worse than a dedicated pc. Dedicated pcs already struggle with vr chat. It’s because there’s a million people with custom unoptimised player models everywhere.
Sync thing has been great and convenient for me. Use tailscale, zero tier or just raw wire guard to see each other
This is impressive!
I’m almost certain with pcvr you can still use the knuckles with base stations. Surely they’d have a vr space sync.
Linux mint installs easily (to be fair they all do), is familiar to Windows interface and has a big button to install nvidia drivers.
Not supporting it but lore wise it makes sense. The UNSC are (were?) fascists.
You can play it single player, but it has opt in ambient multiplayer. You can join other players if you find their summoning symbol thing, and you can see soapstone messages left by other players if you’re connected. You can also be invaded by invading spirits that are other players. It would be nice if you could connect and disconnect without having to return to the main menu.
Dark souls remastered. Seems to run perfectly at Max, disabled TAA because it looks disgusting. Only issue is with dark souls itself, sleep mode kicks you (safely) to the main menu because you lose your internet connection.
Its unreal engine but still incredible
Wheel of time TV show may be terrible. But remember there was a pretty cool wheel of time first person shooter made a while ago
I’m willing to bet game pass will come to the steam deck. Also, that’s fair. Subscription models for tentative and unsustainable game series makes sense. My issue is more with normal games having to compete with game pass.
But why would you buy a game if game pass exists?
Its a complicated answer. It can play probably most modern AAA games. But it likely won’t be a great experience and I can only describe it as playable. If you want a very good experience with the steam deck, then use it for mid spec games or less and it’ll be perfect and have good battery life. If you want more then maybe try another hand held, or a console.
In the end the device you play your games on needs to do one thing well, and that’s to play the games you WANT to play.
If you are looking for an affordable device to play AAA games well on with no issues, get a ps5.
If you are looking for a hand held to play indie titles and the plethora of older games available I’d go for the steam deck.
I think it’ll be a while until we get a hand held experience like the steam deck but with AAA capable hardware.
Thanks for clarifying. Even more baffling why they’re doing this
Please correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this cheaper than their existing patreon subscription which is $5 a month? That would be $60 annually.
I’m still not going to pay for it when because I don’t think it’s a good practice in the open source scene but just want to put it in perspective.
Epic games is pretty anti consumer as far as things go anyway
Recent updates have fixed it for me. Make sure you’re on the latest!
Great read as always
Well, we’ll see if the steam frame can handle it. I imagine it won’t.
