What Are The VR Games Valve Is Working On?

At a recent press conference in Seattle, Gabe Newell revealed that Valve is working on 3 virtual reality titles. They are not going to be mini experiments like The Lab, but full fledged titles.

I'm curious. What could Valve be working on? It's unlikely that any of the titles waill be tied to Half Life, but maybe we'll see the return of Ricochet. Yeah, right.

"We have this theory: we think we can make three big games, we think that we know enough now to do that, and we're going to find out if that's the case. We're pretty sure that all the game developers are going to learn positive or negative lessons from what we do, which is sort of where we think we need to be," he said.

"There will be really clear design choices that we're making, in each of these games. They're very different. Each game developer will be able to look at those and say, that was great, that was not as great. Which is part of, from our point of view, that's a useful charateristic of these three."

Valve is betting on the future of VR, for now. Newell even expects wireless VR to become a fully integrated feature in 2018, according to Gamasutra. I would like to see that.

Maybe Valve will create the killer VR title the hardware needs to justify sales.
