Oculus is targeting Q1 2019 to launch its upcoming higher-end standalone VR headset, currently known by the code-name Santa Cruz, according to multiple independent sources.
Helldivers 2 is now on the Game Boy Color, sort of.

To me the most important hardware is the battery. Doesn’t matter how powerful the chips are.
There’s no way you’re getting that 40CU 16-core APU in a handheld. That’s too hot and power hungry for that. The highest end APU they’re suggesting is going to end up in gaming laptops that can cool a 100W chip.
I think these articles get things a little out of perspective, Steam Deck has sold around 3 million and Switch has sold 140 million. But if you are browsing certain parts internet you'd think the Steam Deck had sold over 100 million. If articles are going to continue to circulate like this and continue to put the Steam Deck in the same arena then I'm comfortable calling the device a flop.
sure but theres still a limit to what u can put in there ha. power consumption would be the biggest hurdle. and cooling.
I wana try out a pc handheld but I would like to experience a steady framerate etc I don't wana have to keep going into my settings trying to make things smoother in gameplay, that's the only thing that's been keepin me from getting one I've heard others having to go into the settings time from time that'll be annoying
Sounds good to me. Powerful stand alone vr units with 6dof hmds and controllers? I'm in.
Higher resolution, wireless, and console level games would be amazing. Would push other companies to do the same causing an evolution and revolution in vr.
Still I hope Oculus dont abandon PC Gaming VR I hope they create a CV2
i believe VR needs to be standalone before it can go mainstream otherwise there will be too much of an investment in host hardware and too many cables limiting your freedom and will turn many people off.
So I am interested in this tech
