As part of a high school Q&A session earlier today, Valve founder Gabe Newell has dropped a hint that his company may be dipping its toes back into gaming console waters. Valve owns Steam, the largest digital marketplace for video games, and to date they have kept themselves locked to the PC market beyond a […]
Newell has hinted that news about Valve titles coming to console will come later this year. The site speculates about Steam Link though it seems unlikely that Sony and MS would rely on third party apps for that. Alyx then becomes the next likely candidate.

Went back to this tonight, after getting about halfway through previously.
Difference is that this time I'm on a Q2 with the BoboVR Pro strap (the one with the magnetic removable battery) and the VRCover facial interface. This is a much more comfortable setup than I had with the Q1, and the time kinda melts away now (whereas the Q1 always felt heavy, hot, and would leave marks on my cheeks if I played too long, which I often did). The Bobo strap actually fits very like the PSVR.
I think, due to a combination of that and not having the immense expectations of everyone talking about it like it was some kind of apotheosis, I'm enjoying it much more this time around. Though the creepy bits still scare the crap out of me.
Even in the first hour, it very quickly reminds you how it's the apex of this type of game, i.e. the linear adventure, sort-of-FPS experience VR genre that also contains things like Tales from Galaxy's Edge and Vader Immortal. So many elements of it are extremely polished.Last edited by Asura; 06-03-2022, 18:06.
