I got Episode 2 for only £0.50p in the last sale.  :laugh:

Reduced from £5.00 (gbp)

Love STEAM.

Same. Even if you can knock up a pair of "google glasses" (with literally a cardboard cut out) and a VR mode with an old I-Phone on the cheap, I like to be able to look away from my screen whether PC, TV or Cinema.

What about Portal VR?

Kind of weird you said "not interested in VR" now you're asking about a Portal in VR?

You need the original Portal 2 which is 90% off at only £0.71 (ends 3rd December 2019)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/620/Portal_2/

Then Portal Stories which is VR built on the Portal 2 engine and requires above game (free download)

Quote from: Bloody Disgusting"With the exception of some tweaks to the absolute final scene, the game is done," said the team attending the AMA, which included a mix of programmers, designers, animators, sound designers, and artists. "Lots of us at Valve, as well as playtesters, have played through the entire game multiple times. Right now we're primarily polishing and fixing bugs, which is where we'd hope to be at this point in the development cycle. We're confident we'll hit our intended release."

I guess.

But with all that "Valve, please learn how to count to 3" I expected more buzz around it.

Can this even be considered a prequel, given the ending?

Linus Tech Tips did a good video revealing how much you have to spend to upgrade to play just one VR game.



Like all new tech I'll wait for the price to come down, unless this is yet another VR fad that'll fade into obscurity.

Well 43,000 people where tracked by steam and played it upon release. Whether they had below minimum spec requirements or used potato VR headsets, I don't know.

The consensus was not including a non-vr mode hurt game sales.

I love the HL series. I've played the rest, but not HL:Alyx VR (I dont own any VR gear or powerful enough system, so it might be a while, shortages on parts too even if I was looking to build a better gaming set up).
