Same. If Valve can bring get streaming going and bring fully fledged x86 games to an arm headset, oh boy. Skyrim VR will be lit
Can't the frame run the game itself? I thought it's a full fledged computer
They say it's "streaming first" but supports titels directly on it, too. Either way, I am hyped
It's ARM-based, so x86 code will not run natively on it. But Steam has something similar to Proton for ARM.
Kinda. ARM isn't great for high-power user cases, and the hardware in the frame isn't top-end for the architecture.
The frame can run less intensive games, but will struggle with heavier games. I assume Skyrim VR will be in the latter category, especially with mods.
I mean they cut out the middleman and you can just run x86 software on ARM with FEX (and by extension, windows-built games via proton).
I don't see a future where a dedicated PC will become optional for the majority of PCVR titles, but I would imagine the wireless streaming tech valve's already included into the headset should make it pretty painless if you're already a PC gamer.
You can already play Skyrim VR on older VR headsets, I have it. Had to add an ungodly amount of mods to get it more playable but there is a mod manager that simplifies it
I know, but i have a cable and cramped setup. I'love to stream it to the garden or something with a lighter headset
