Rough price. But honestly, I'm pretty damn eager to leave Windows behind for good, so it wouldn't be a definitive "no" for me.
However, living in Norway means I'm outside the EU, and Valve won't bother giving me the option to order one anyway. So I'd have to import for an even steeper price, and then the machine is really starting to loose its luster.
If I start saving now, I expect I'll be happy to acquire the second Gen version - if that ever materializes. This being roughly at the PS5-level means I'm not in a huge rush. I have all the consoles, and my custom-built PC is probably closer to a PS5 Pro, so if I'm not getting a meaningful upgrade, I can wait.
Being part of the gamer-generation that started out at the twilight years of the NES, it has been a damn marvel of a thing to see how videogame visuals have evolved over the years.
Particularly as I've always been drawn to CGI-movies, and dabble in 3D-production myself (sculpting, modeling, lighting, texturing, animation, etc.), this in-depth look at the tiny details of RE:Requiem basically tickles my brain like a form of non-erotic pornography.
It almost makes me want to shell out for a PS5 Pro - even if I know I'd never be able to fully appreciate the difference while playing, and the game itself is one where I'd basically also just be screaming in terror for the entire duration.
