I'm pretty excited about Giant Cop and I Expect You to DIe. I played the demo of the latter months ago on DK2 and it was pretty awesome just with a mouse. Also, I was joking when I said that Valve's big VR game would be Ricochet 2, but it looks like that Ripcoil is game is going to be similar.

It looks fun, but might be barfy and doesnt seem like a really good VR game. It doesn't immerse you in being a bird, therefore weakening its bird cred.

Most people that have tried it said it surprisingly doesn't make them sick. The devs are doing something with decreasing the FOV that apparently helps with it. There was a demo back in the DK2 days that was sorta similar, just flying around a photorealistic landscape that really was cool, but it was just barren mountains though. Watching them flying around/under/in between those small spaces would be quite a rush.

Microsoft announced Project Scorpio which looks like it will be a new Xbox that will be 4K capable and supposedly supports VR. No one seems to know if it will be Microsoft's own VR or if it will just support the Vive or Rift. It seems like Microsoft is trying to blend PC and xbox into one platform. It wouldn't surprise me if this new console is just a PC that runs a bespoke consolified windows that you can plug your current HMD into. Would be really hilarious if they get PSVR to run on it. ^^^ That would piss me off since I'm currently moving.

Considering they have sort of already paired with Oculus a little, I wouldn't be surprised if they just allowed you to plug in a Oculus/Vive and supported them natively through some sort of XboxVR Runtime of sorts. Time will tell right now at least.

Thanks all for the lighthouse answers. Guess I'll just get a buddy with a drill to come over when the Vive shows up so I can mount them properly, and hope my apartment manager doesn't notice the spackling when I move out i also irrationally fear drilling into a wire by mistake but i guess that's not bloody likely

The FOV you have to render at is completely dictated by the optics and geometry of the HMD, trying to adjust it for artistic/design reasons will cause serious comfort problems to the point of being unviewable. Edit: Also, the Razer Hydra only cost ~$175 when new, it's only because they don't make them anymore and there's a limited supply that the price has shot up to such ridiculous levels.

Adrift actually does something similar. If I'm remembering what I read about Eagle Flight correctly, the outer part of view goes dark/black. Apparently it helps? I dunno. With Adrift you press a button and you can only see like a dime/quarter size circle in front of you and everything else blacks out. So it's not changing the FOV, just masking some of it. somethingawful bf fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Jun 13, 2016 |

When I first got my Vive I just put them on bookshelves to test them out, which was 98% fine but had some occlusion issues if I got too low/in an area shadowed by the bookcase they were on/etc. Later I switched to the mounts, which not only put them higher up but allowed them to be tilted downwards instead of sitting flat, and that greatly reduced any occlusion issues. You could totally just set one on your desk like the Oculus cameras and the other on a table behind you if you wanted, but the better positioned they are the better they'll work. In other news, Razer announced their OSVR headset. Specs are similar to the Rift, though I wouldn't be surprised if the Rift still has a bit better comfort/optics. The important part is the price, $399. Assuming no issues, that and the new RX 480 should bring the ceiling for a VR capable system down to about $1100 or so, though that's without motion controls so you'd mainly be limited to Oculus games played through Revive.

Here's an example of them blacking out the outside FOV in Eagle Flight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzAgKgBEEAc This is from when they first announced/showed it off, so things might change by the time of release, of course.

I noticed the OSVR 2.0 says it has a dual-screen OLED as the same resolution as the Rift/Vive, but it doesn't mention anything at all about an actual IPD adjustment. Seems like a no-brainer, but I wouldn't take it for granted. Did anyone here/see confirmation of IPD adjustment?Cojawfee posted:I feel like they would have to make an entirely new game in order to add VR in to Fallout. Like the guy mentions in the article. Teleporting completely nullifies the need for a sneak skill. You could sneak across a hallway hoping the raider doesn't see you, or just teleport across the hallway. Unless they make the teleport be really loud and have lots of flashing light to make it very obvious that someone is teleporting around. They are going to have to rework a lot of the game to prevent cheesing everything with VR. You say this like Sneak wasn't the most buggy poo poo in Fallout 4 already...

It'll be interesting to see what happens after Valve opens up the lighthouse tracking to third parties, since that will make the hardest part of VR hardware (roomscale 6dof tracking) available to anybody.

It works decently well; it has the effect of deliberately breaking the illusion of presence, making it feel more like you're watching a screen than being in a place. They don't do it all the time, just in extreme tricks like loop-de-loops.

This basically means its going to "ship" dec 31st and theyll ship like 10 units and then have some huge production delay thing that means everyone will really get their oculus touch well into january/february.. cool

Seems like a no-brainer, but I wouldn't take it for granted. Did anyone here/see confirmation of IPD adjustment? They mentioned something about each lens being able to adjust +4.5 and -2. I can only assume that this is referring to lens prescription, because those numbers don't mean anything else to me. If they are doing that, then they have to have some sort of IPD adjustment as well. Even if it is just moving a slider to a certain mark and then telling the OSVR software where you have it set. Sort of like the lens distance on the Rift DK2.

Yeah its cheap, but for that cheap you can't use the oculus store without a 3rd party hack that doesn't work for everything and could break, and theres no controllers so you can't play any touch/vive games anyways. On top of that unless they've completely changed up their camera tracking (which who knows they might), It's going to have a tiny DK2 level of tracking so you won't even be able to stand and walk around like you can with the vive/oculus even if stem ever comes out to give you controlers. Like, great that they're making more options available, but it hardly seems like much of an option at all from what I've seen so far from this one and from the first.
