In order to succeed, each of the companies will have to offer something to entice would-be customers. Oculus has promised that the Facebook takeover will allow a substantially lower price point for the consumer model of the Rift, with recent suggestions of a price of $200-$400, whilst the Morpheus will aim to impress with 120 FPS. Valve, however, will take an entirely different strategy, as the Half Life creator has just revealed that developers can apply to be given free copies of the Vive....

Speaking to IGN, Valve developers Chris Remo and Robin Walker explained why those Left 4 Dead images were created. Walker said that the team “used parts of a Left 4 Dead level as the first bit of level geometry to start building in Source 2,” which is the game engine that Valve announced in 2015. The images were part of a rendering test, said Walker, but many fans took them to mean that Left 4 Dead 3 is in development....

[HTML1] Faliszek seems to be quite confident about the impact of VR devices on the PC gaming community, and he’s previously spoken openly about his opinions on VR devices. While prior versions of virtual reality devices commonly made their wearers suffer from motion sickness, Faliszek has stated that if gamers experience motion sickness these days, it’s the fault of the game developer, not the hardware itself. Many gamers who want to experience virtual reality may not decide to go the PC route, however....

“They first gave me a pill and said to take it. So I did. I didn’t know what it was,” Rozi told the AP. “Half an hour later, they put a needle in my belly.

Fowler, ranked No. 8 in the world, is the highest-ranked entry at the Texas Open but has struggled in back-to-back starts and skipped last week’s WGC-Dell Match Play....

Before any Xbox fans get confused, the release date for Valheim on console has not changed since the last time Iron Gate talked about it. Valheim will still be coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in the first half of 2023 as an Xbox Game Pass Day One release.

The research, led by scientists at the University of Texas (UT) at Austin, could grant insights into how the now dry network of river valleys formed across the Martian surface. Published in the journal Nature, the findings indicate that this flooding shaped the Red Planet’s geological features up until around 3.5 to 3.7 billion years ago when the planet’s liquid water began to disappear. The authors of the study, including lead author and assistant professor at the UT Jackson School of Geosciences Tim Goudge, said in a UT press release that though the floods lasted just weeks they would erode more sediment than would be needed to completely fill Lake Superior and Lake Ontario....

With Valorant being a team-based competitive game, teammate behavior majorly influences how players experience the game. Cheating in Valorant has long been an issue, but player toxicity and other disruptive behavior such as AFK-ing persists.

So this behavior often has negative impacts on gameplay and affects overall game fairness....
