The point is that Oculus headsets to have access to Skyrim and Fallout though so I'm not sure what point you're trying to drive home.
The steam solution for Rift headsets is excellent. I haven't used Revive but the steamVR experience on my Oculus headsets, for the few games which don't have native Oculus support, is great. In regards to games such as Skyrim, the use of ASW allows Oculus headsets last gen to load mod after mod and experience better playability than Vives.
No tide is sadly turning in anyone's favour. Big name developers are more commonly packaging Oculus SDK's into their steam games.
The tide can definitely turn if Valve were to release their big three titles and those games be good. They can just release a half arsed implementation for Oculus and windows VR headsets and prioritise the Index. With the Index giving a flawless smooth experience for their exclusive titles.. when they do that, I'm buying an Index.
As it stands, there is no tide moving towards Steam over Oculus's exclusive title. There are a slew of announced exclusive fantastic looking Oculus exclusives. All Steam has had is a botched launch of NMS which plays like rubbish on the Index and the Rift S on day 1 and 3 unreleased valve games.
On the software side of things, Valve holds all the cards. If they stretched there 3 VR games to 6, and they continue to pump out title after title, I have NO DOUBT they will destroy Oculus. Oculus have the best in class software tech but their game design ability is just no where near Valves. Valve made Half life 2, TF2 and Portal 2. Those are 3 of the biggest best gaming experiences of our generation, and despite years of VR experience in developing and publishing VR titles, I don't think Oculus have released a game which competes with those 3. |
