Nachimir Posted March 1, 2015 https://twitter.com/mryandev/status/572157678874574848Also, I love Valve's trolling. Their #GDC2015 presentation is March 3rd at 3pm. 3/3 3:00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted March 2, 2015 Huh, Valve are actually shipping something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninety-Three Posted March 2, 2015 Huh, Valve are actually shipping something Woah woah woah, I wouldn't go that far. There's still plenty of time for delays to arise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted March 2, 2015 Well HTC announced the date and HTC do actually ship shit, and are a public company so they'll take a hit if they don't, so I imagine they'll probably actually ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted March 2, 2015 All that proves is that HTC didn't do their research on Valve before inking the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clyde Posted March 2, 2015 If I can't play non-steam games on this thing then it is useless to me. Oculus has announced Unity-Free support so hopefully Vive will too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elvaq Posted March 2, 2015 I think Steam VR will be pretty open and support all devices (same with Unity/UE) but this will almost certainly beat consumer Oculus to market, with some extra functionality it doesn't currently have like the "presence" room device thing. Very interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted March 2, 2015 Ha, Valve beat anyone to market on anything? I'd be extremely surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merus Posted March 4, 2015 The question I have is: UE4 and Unity 5 are also free to small developers. What exactly does Source 2 have over them given that both UE4 and Unity are mature tools with vibrant ecosystems around them? Especially since UE4 and Unity support asset streaming and Source 1 does not. (If Source 2 doesn't support asset streaming...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted March 4, 2015 Source 2 brings Valve, of course! But I dunno if we can glean from this that Valve actually REALLY intends to compete with Unreal and Unity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rohlfinator Posted March 4, 2015 I saw some speculation that Source 2 games may be required to be Steam exclusive, which would allow Valve to make the full-featured engine free with no (other) strings attached. That might be attractive to some developers, I suppose. But yeah, without more info it does seem like a hard sell compared to the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted March 4, 2015 Steam Link sounds like exactly the kind of thing I'd love to have in my entertainment center. I've been thinking of building a gaming PC and wondered whether I should try to connect it to my TV or leave it as-is. If Valve wants to do all the work of setting the thing up for me, I'll gladly give them fifty bucks for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah I definitely plan to get one of those (once I have an entertainment center). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elvaq Posted March 4, 2015 Biggest selling point for Source 2 is eventual Half-Life 3 mod support (shut up i am dreaming) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted March 4, 2015 Would it be too meta to make a Haberdashery Simulator with Source 2 and release it on Steam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mawd Posted March 4, 2015 Would it be too meta to make a Haberdashery Simulator with Source 2 and release it on Steam? No, please. Some things just have to be made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
