w00tazn posted:As far as I'm aware PSN refunds don't exist. And I don't think refunds really exist on Xbox Live either. Officially PSN does refunds for games that do not work at all - so for example if you buy a PSVR only title and you don't have a headset I believe that would be grounds for an official refund. Anecdotally people have pretty good success with getting refunds for other reasons by contacting support; the recent No Man's Sky debacle being a famous example. One somewhat plausible theory that I've seen claimed is that their unspoken policy is to allow one refund per account for any reason, then deny all future refunds by that account. That way they get good word of mouth publicity when things like NMS happen, but no user can abuse the system too badly. Cojawfee posted:If you preordered the rift, you should have gotten an email from Oculus saying you have until October 27th to preorder Touch to keep your priority spot in line. You have to order with the same email you ordered the rift with. No real information on what "priority spot" actually means, unfortunately. Hopefully they'll clarify, but they might feel like the implied transparency they had last time did them more harm than good.

Tested has a first look at RoboRecall (Epic's spiritual successor to the Bullet Train demo) up already, and it looks awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pciYKapeSNE They're saying 3 to 4 hours play time, though it looks like something with good replayability given the scoring system. Interesting that the older dude (forgot his name) was playing with 360 degrees of movement and didn't mention problems with the tracking - though he also seemed to have found it very intense so probably just didn't notice occlusion glitches or whatever.

w00tazn posted:"Room scale" Yeah, what a lot of people aren't realizing is "Official" Oculus support still requires having two cameras in front of you to support the fine hand interactions that Touch does, that's sort of the whole point of Touch - hand presence and fine interactions. Like, literally any game that does roomscale right now on Steam (except that one game where you crawl) can be played using just two cameras set up like Lighthouses in a ~10x10 space (give or take 3 feet) with no more issues than Vive has. But sites need to fuel the the fanboys I guess.

The only thing I can see it meaning is that touch orders go out to rift preorders first. So someone who got their rift at best buy or whatever could preorder as soon as the site goes up but be pushed back as rift preorderers put their orders in over the rest of the month.

Yeah, the unclear thing is whether the shipping order within those priority spots is based on the time you made your Rift order or the time you make your Touch order. In other words whether people with priority spots still need to hammer refresh on Monday to get a good slot.

The message being put out back when the rift was coming out was that your spot in line for rift is your spot for touch. Until someone at oculus says something different, in going to say that's still true.

The Zuckerberg stuff did include social updates to Oculus Home which are long overdue. Though the avatar customisation looked pretty limited beyond face shape and hair model. What I really want is for them to start adding more basic functionality to Home, like the ability to create shortcuts to non-Home programs, a proper ratings system, customisation of the environment & UI etc. A virtual desktop panel inside of Home would be a really handy addition too. Probably not the direction they want to go in though.

You can actually play around with ASW right now: https://twitter.com/BinaryLegend/status/784164517022343169 EDIT: Only for NVIDIA right now, though. Nalin fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Oct 7, 2016 |

I remember playing around with it back in ol' tuscany. Yep. Just create the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTARE\Oculus VR, LLC\LibOVR folder in your registry. Inside it, create a new DWORD called AswEnabled and set it to 1. I've been playing around with it. It isn't as seamless as 90 Hz (of course), but it is a LOT better than 45 Hz. I mean, it is actually pretty dang good. I launched EVE: Valkyrie and I jacked up all my settings to Ultra and enabled a bunch of super-sampling and it was awesome. It is not as smooth as native 90 Hz, but the fact that I could turn on anti-aliasing and super-sampling with ease may cause me to leave it on. While making big turns and lots of movement, I could cause crosshair corruption and other things, but with less intensive games I would DEFINITELY turn it on and jack up the super-sampling. The Rift already has better display quality. Being able to easily super-sample and stuff on a GTX 970 is pretty darn great. EDIT: They also massively improved the performance of EVE: Valkyrie. I had Ultra settings with 135% resolution and I was still getting smoother gameplay with normal ATW. I might have to try to bump it up to 200% resolution or find another game to test with. But the developer options let you toggle between 45 Hz and 45 Hz with ASW, so I could compare the two easily. Nalin fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Oct 7, 2016 |

A cockpit game like that will probably only get better performance with ATW. You don't translate your had around all that much in a cockpit.

Cojawfee posted:A cockpit game like that will probably only get better performance with ATW. You don't translate your had around all that much in a cockpit. Well, the act of turning your head causes your eyes to actually change position in space, so even then it would still help. The big benefit is that it causes all the objects in the scene to move. So it can help fake 90Hz for the whole scene. Real 90Hz is better in all cases, though.

Also, I know this is reading into things, but after they showed that prototype, in his next sentence he mentions "3 years". edit: Trust me I know it's reading into things, but it made me also wonder if that time frame mention was intentional, for whatever reasons. somethingawful bf fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Oct 7, 2016 |

Nalin posted:http://www.roadtovr.com/hands-on-oculus-wireless-santa-cruz-prototype-makes-standalone-room-scale-tracking-a-reality/ Wow. That's huge. I had no idea they were this far along. I was expecting to see this in five, seven years. Once they get it well baked, and it sounds like they're more than half way there, it's a hop, skip and a jump towards building a custom chip from silicon to handle most of the duties of inside-out tracking, then make it power efficient and pack it inside of a cell phone. That's really exciting. We're just a couple years away from hitting a tech plateau with VR display tech, and then we only need to wait for GPU tech to catch up. VR could actually be mainstream before 2025 at this rate.

Just took a few minutes to fiddle with ASW a bit and, uh, wow. It's not a magic bullet, but it's still very impressive. e: If you want to enable it without creating the necessary registry entries by hand, you can use this.
