    They won't release the CV2 until 2022. They won't be releasing another PC VR headset next year or anything.


    I wish Oculus would officially announce this or shed light on their road-map. I'm of the opinion that CV2 is canceled indefinitely.

    I'm not sure want to think anymore when it comes to what Oculus has planned. The talk of half dome display's and stuff seems like a distant memory now. Looks like I'm going to have to get a valve index now that HP Reverb seems to have ran into problems atm.

    We'll have an update on the Half Dome prototype at OC6 this year I think, plus Abrash may give a clue as to where they're headed in terms of a timescale.

    I sure hope so. Consumers need more Half Dome news considering how Rift-S is performing on the global market.

    Maybe using Index without activating several layers of (Oculus) drivers and software will provide better SteamVR experiences than using Rift in SteamVR, but no-one seems to be investigating such details... 

    I'd do it but I don't have a SteamVR headset with the same resolution as the Rift so any comparisons would be apples to oranges. Would have to be someone with both an OG Vive and a CV1 running the same game on both stores on the same machine so that's going to be a very small number of people.

    I'd be curious myself how much the performance difference is as well as some hard numbers on the difference between ASW and Motion Smoothing. I've only used a WMR headset which has an extra layer to go through and has its own ASW equivalent. It will be interesting to see how the Index performs for me compared to my Odyssey especially with all of the updates Valve has been doing to SteamVR.

    I literally said the same thing. I don't want to look at some dude's nasty feet!

    Glad you caught that, I watched this Video earlier on my phone and missed that statement. I was 99% sure it was coming based on previous statements from Gabe but glad to hear it reconfirmed.

    Vertigo 2 does not support the Rifts, playable demo July 16, final game 2020. Looks quite awesome - I don't think this is one of the 3 Valve games though:

    Still waiting for Vanishing Realms, but I guess they're still sleeping in Los Angeles the next 9 hours or so ;)

    Vanishing Realms is on sale too, maybe a nice game to get - it's fully optimized for the Rift and Touch. And it's solid 90 fps using super sampling 2.0 on a GTX 1080 or better (maybe GTX 1070 too).
