There’s no shortage of speculation when it comes to all things Valve. Tyler McVicker, YouTuber and one of the leading voices dedicated to deciphering Valve’s various internal developments, however now reports that not only is the company’s long-awaited standalone VR headset still coming, but it may arrive alongside its own Half-Life game.

Valve’s much hyped standalone, known only as ‘Deckard’, is “still very much in production,” McVicker maintains, saying that according to his sources that Valve “still intend[s] on shipping this piece of hardware.

The standalone wasn't a rumor, it was verified to exist (via copyright documents). That being said, I've held out on buying a standalone VR so I could get this one to upgrade from the Index

Yup!

I'd consider the Quest if it wasn't owned by Meta.

No way I'd buy that hardware.

Me too. I was disappointed by Sonys software support for the PSVR2 and I don’t want a Quest because it’s from Facebook.

Pico 4 Ultra?

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. If it was still standalone Oculus and they'd support Linux I would've almost certainly bought one already. On the other hand, it would've been very unlikely to be as cheap as they are with Facebook, since they obviously wanted to push them to the masses as a dependency for their push into VR (which so far failed epically).

I am waiting for this as well. We are in need of a solid index replacement.

I've still got an Oculus CV1 with touch controllers. It's never seemed like a good time to upgrade before. I'm feeling the hype for this.
