i don’t understand why you want a portable beat saber setup that requires hauling around an entire VR setup + a steam deck + all of the peripherals that requires? imo you might as well buy a little laptop with a proper video card if you’re going that route. the deck’s video capabilities aren’t intended to drive VR or run windows, you’ll almost certainly have issues of a million varieties.
- jwells89 3y agoMainly, it’s about maximizing usage of my devices. At home most gaming (including Beat Saber) is done on a nice custom tower that outguns any reasonably priced gaming laptop, meaning that if I bought a gaming laptop it’d only get used when traveling and would collect dust the rest of the time. Unless of course I sell the desktop and go laptop-exclusive for games, but that comes with some notable tradeoffs (fan noise and longevity primarily). The Deck’s form factor makes it attractive for at-home use scenarios that a desktop and laptop don’t fit as well, and a such has a better chance of getting consistent usage compared to a laptop.
- andybak 3y agoCould you not just run Best Saber on a Quest?
- jwells89 3y agoIt’s possible, but as noted in my other comment, the Quest version is notoriously unfriendly to modding and can chug with more complex custom maps due to weak hardware, which is problematic because I play modded/custom exclusively.
