https://gofile.io/d/AihAcflX — Mirror of the video, which has since been made private.
12:50 - “This is important to point out right now. Steam Machine streaming, not supported yet. They are working on that, but for now you’re going to be using a Windows PC.”
Disappointing
Amazing, so that means people would buy the Index less, the first gen Vive will go down and I can finally afford Google Cardboard
$60 for the ergonomic kit, which is a couple of pieces of fabric, is rough. Doesn’t bode well for the price of the HMD.
I suspect Linux/Machine streaming will be there at launch and might be a reason they’ve been so late with the launch. We’ve seen quite a few Linux fixes in recent SteamVR releases.
I’d hope so. Excluding Steam Machine from streaming would be a hilariously bad look.
I guess cutting corners is happening more often with them these days after Linus bought the private jet.
Almost a year after initial unveiling and they still haven’t figured out streaming from their own hardware!?
About the level of professionalism I’d expect from LTT.
Nice try Linus, but I wouldn’t watch your review even if it was the last one on earth.
Good news, its the first one!
Streaming only from Windows for now?? Well that’s fucking disappointing.
By the time you actually hold one in your hands it’ll likely be fixed.
Not something I’m gonna bet 1200€+ on.
Yeah that pricing is yeouch
People have already been streaming VR from Steam Machine to Quest devices, so something doesn’t add up.
Maybe they’re talking about foviated streaming in particular?
I figure they are working on it though. I can’t imagine it will take long for them to solve it.
TL;DW for anyone just looking for any new information:
- Ergo kit is $60 (I assume USD)
- two hand straps to make the controllers more like Knuckles controllers
- head strap
- nose light guard for smaller noses
- Game streaming from Linux does not work at the moment
- Valve is reportedly working on it, and it may or may not be ready on release
- This video seems to have been recorded 24 August according to the date on his watch
- Power supply sold separately
- 45 watt
- No price given
- The initial experience is basically just a wireless Index (for better or worse)
- Ergo kit is $60 (I assume USD)
Do we know what the real embargo date was supposed to be? Like was the upload off by hours, days, weeks?
No, we regular old users have no idea. But the best bet at this point is this coming Monday.
“accidentally”
So its set to release soon then.
Anyone got another mirror? First one down
