Everything is great in this VR experience, but the Jar Jar Binks Vortigaunt will stay in my mind for long ^^ !

I was actually really waiting for that video. I mean, literally. You never disappoint, man.

Back then, it sure was a "big deal", but that didn't changed my mind...
Personally, I always feel that's one of reasons they can't get EP3 done and then canceled whole project : the deal just too big and they can't chew.
Well, my opinion is just opinion, I hope they can finish the whole shit and closed this messed up HL chapter.

Who said buying Vr set for specific games ? There are a substancial number of worthy games already : Boneworks, blade and sorcery, beat saber, Doom Vfr, Wolfenstein Cyberpilot... as well as many other that are either free or not which could interest (Google earth vf seems a good free vr title)

Well, you earn this amount of money in less than a month... but I assume other fees comes first

FWIW, if you want to dip your toes in VR either look for second hand Rifts or OG Vives, (lots of people upgrading to Indexes.) Alternatively look into Windows Mixed Reality headsets, they can be had in the $200-300 range. Only substantial con is the less-than perfect controller tracking when compared to Index/Vive/Rift.

My GF 1070 wouldn't be able to handle VR with all details, so I would have to switch to Motion Smoothing which cuts the full 80 Hz refresh rate down to 40. Owners of RTX cards, the 2080 in particular, have clear advantages here. And as you know, these cards are also quite expensive.

There is already a way to use your smartphone as a replacement for VR gear (Riftcat), but the low refresh rates make the game controls almost unusable (since it's meant to be controlled with hand movements, not conventional methods like controller sticks or keyboard).

I would not be surprised if someone tried to "demake" the game as a HL2 mod. If the mod will ever be finished is another thing entirely.

Hell, make it a demake and do it all with original source and use Half-Life 2 assets.

Still very basic and in general far from really playable, but it's all there. The interesting part about this is that there's a VR-less option in the game at all, regardless whether or not it actually fully works or not.

Yeah, because the best route for a character that's struggling to even get a conventional foothold in the modern era is to make a high-risk triple a experience for a hardware format that has not yet fully caught on, and thus narrows the chances for success.
It'd be great if Duke was in a good game without the VR, first.

Randy "the necromancer" Pitchford resurrected Duke once and it came out wrong. What makes you think VR will make a difference?
