Images of Prototype Valve VR Headset Leak

QuoteAccording to our independent sources this is in fact a Valve HMD. We've also heard the field of view will be 135 degrees with the Vive Pro resolution and it should come bundled with Knuckles controllers as well as a Half-Life based VR game.Click to expand...
An interesting tidbit is the dual cameras on the front in addition to the usual lighthouse markers. Could this allow for both outside-in and inside-out tracking?

As for the voracity of the rumored Half-Life VR game...

I am thrilled.
Kinda funny. Right after me asking about Valve's games, a solid rumor of one comes out.

Apparently Half Life VR is a prequel to Half Life 2.

Woah it's a full game?

Yeah, so far still rumored.
But I think it's incredibly likely that this will be Valves first full VR title.

What would be amazing is a full Portal VR.

Any news on a time frame?

I wanna try to snag a pc vr headset for black friday if I can find a good deal but not if this is only a few months out.

There's no news about it. Hasn't even been confirmed yet.

My prediction:
I would say it is 6 months out at the absolute earliest. Probably closer to a year.

Well Pro isn't too pro but that's seemingly the only headset discounted for Black Friday.
