Of course they’re comparable. You can compare anything you like. Apples to oranges, for instance, or apples to airships, or apples to aliens. Doom to dessert toppings. Have at it. What we’re saying is that calling Doom Eternal an “old-school classic FPS” is missing the point of both Doom Eternal and old-school classic FPSs.
Well, sure. But why wouldn’t you say Doom is an evolution of “old-school classic FPSs”? Because calling something an evolution of X isn’t the same as equating it with X.
Well that does it. The Doom remake has been on my backlog for too long and there is a sale going on. I’m going to have to determine for myself just what kind of dessert we are all discussing here.
I don’t want to insult you nerds that are playing this with some weird headset and VR (I can’t even believe I know what that means) but … might there be an easy way to play this “game” (or is it some freakin’ show?) with a regular mouse and kb?
Did I miss some conversation above related to this? Sigh fine I am sure someone will tell me to look up.
Implementing keyboard and mouse would be only the first step. Someone would have to redesign the AI, the combat encounters, the puzzles, the weapons reload, the interaction with the environment like searching in crates or opening doors, do a new system for the grabbity gloves, etc
I watched parts of a play through, and I know I don’t like to experience horror in VR, it is just too much for me. I was disgusted by head crabs from the beginning, I don’t need that in my life. However, I like the Half Life world building, so a bit sad not to play it. But then 1000€ for the Steam VR + a new PC, so we are talking 2000€ entry point here? I wish I had a friend who had it ;)
Which I guess is fine for an entry. But if you are going to spend 500 for something like that, spending 1000 usually makes more sense, and you get something better that will last longer - in the end saving money as you might want to upgrade anyway. You’ll have to save up longer, though…
I’d hope for a used/refurbished Index somewhere, but that’s a faint hope at this moment I figure.
Yes. VR has much higher requirements due to needing a higher resolution (though which resolution exactly depends on your headset) and needs a much higher FPS than 60 (again, afaik depending on the headset).
Basically, if your PC can handle a game without any problems on monitor, you should be okay with VR. But if you just barely fulfill the game’s minimal requirements, it’s gonna be a problem.
Well, if you are counting the 1000€ for a new pc every time you consider to buy a newly released game, I guess the average game price for you is 1050€!
I have a nvidia 960 and can run current games fine. So I would need a 1080ti, maybe a new processor and the quest. And I don’t see other PC games that need that much investment currently.
