Looks okay to me. Good enough for VR.
Now bring on the hardware.

Yeah this is awesome. People complaining about the graphics in this VR demo are nuts.

Off-screen footage can often look better than direct feed.

That's a cleaned up version of the video in the OP. Still not direct feed, lol.

Jesus christ, that looks amazing from the 15 second mark.

Looks very realistic.

Probably for the best that they aren't making a fancy pants next gen engine.
If you think I'm trolling you've obviously never played CSGO
With every new patch comes -10fps
That's usually because of image quality issues that off-screen hides, but if one thing is amazing about this particular demo it's the IQ. Yay for forward rendering.

Is there somekind of layman summary which describes what's the difference between deferred and forward and why/where one is better than the other?
I'd like to see this happen, if there isn't one floating around on some blog already.

Guys...
90fps, in stereo. It's not meant to be a graphics benchmark. It's meant to run. I'm sure they could push a lot more on a single non-VR screen.
And the video looks great, just the pictures are compressed

In which games? I have a FX-6300 and any Source game I've thrown at it so far have been rock solid (granted my GPU is an R9 280x).
The only game that I had strange issues with was TF2 before they moved to the new file system, had to use GCF defragger after every patch or it'd run like complete shit. But yeah, even my old rig with a Core 2 Duo and a HD5870 ran CS:GO at 1080p max graphics at a smooth 60 most of the time

Forward Rendering: Very linear. Takes everything in a scene and breaks them down into pixels for shading. Lighting is more expensive this way.
Deferred Rendering: Before going straight to the render target, more buffers are introduced. This makes lighting cheaper but has issues with doing transparencies. It's also bandwidth heavy.

Really? Source games ran flawlessly on the ancient hardware I threw them at. Portal 2 was near maxed out on a Core 2 Duo t6500/4570. That wasnt close to high end when it launched.
Probably one of the easier engines to run I've seen. What games did you try?
I've always though Source scaled great on different hardware, had great performance on every rig I've ever played on.
I've read about CS:GO losing frames with updates but it's always fine for me, I have vsync on though so I guess I wouldn't see it, I'm guessing it's people who have uncapped framerate so they get 250+ fps who notice it.
Everything I've seen of Source 2 has me excited. I don't get the "is this it????" reactions, all this stuff was for VR and the other shots that are about are hardly good enough quality to judge, I'm sure it will look great.

The most important part as far as I'm concerned. The amount of tricks even Valve has to do to get hair not looking completely broken is a shame.

Low res offscreen footage that is split into 2. Not exactly the best way to judge something like this.

Hmm, I see. So, forward is inherently cleaner, supports MSAA out of the box, thus better for VR? And what does Forward+ do? I understand the Order uses it.
