Adult Swim is doing some weird thing powered by (I'm pretty sure) Will Smith's FOO VR technology, its Real Dumb https://www.twitch.tv/adultswim I don't think there's any way to actually watch it in VR though, but if it is FOO then its being mocapped by a guy in a Vive. https://twitter.com/therealcarl2/status/827232860604071938 homeless snail fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Feb 3, 2017 |

Here's some awesome news, Rec Room devs raise $5 million to expand the game: http://www.roadtovr.com/rec-room-raises-5m-continue-build-future-social-vr/ A dev also confirmed in another thread that they're working on a boxing gym in the game.

So this is strange, but VR is a fad in Las Vegas casinos right now. Walk into Caeser's palace or the Linq and there's all these posters with Vives and Oculus Rifts and you can apparently play the same games you have at home - there are even entire stores that just offer Las Vegas VR experiences now.

Zero VGS posted:I have $100 Oculus credit myself and have no idea what to spend it on, but it's good for a year so I guess I'll hold on to it and see what comes out during the sales? The closest thing to "man, I have to buy that" would have been Robo Recall because of how polished it looks, and that's free, so I'm stumped. I think my favorite paid software titles have been SUPERHOT VR (medium length), Obduction (long), and I Expect You To Die (short). Chronos is also pretty great (light version of Dark Souls in a way). I have not checked out any of the newer titles on the Oculus Home store yet.

The game that always seems to be a hit with kids that age is Job Simulator, particularly the mechanic and chef jobs. For a 6-8 year old it is like the ultimate playhouse an it actually makes me insanely jealous that this stuff didn't exist when I was a kid. Definitely grab all the free stuff you can to start with, especially The Lab, Destinations, Rec Room, and Google Earth. As far as paid games go you cannot go wrong with Space Pirate Trainer. Also get on itch.io and download the demo for Gorn, immediately.

Awesome thanks for the suggestions. Can't wait to try them out. Looked at google earth. Is there a game/app that can let you cycle with say a exercise bike in a different city in vr? or run? or is the technology not there yet?

mellowjournalism posted:Can you still play SuperhotVR with Revive? If so you pretty much have to Yes it works great. Only thing that gets odd is at one point you have to use the trigger and grip button at the same time and the one screen prompt is for a touch controller so it's confusing. I've only played it in revive and I ended up using most of my roomscale space. Apparently it works fine standing scale but I personally moved around and reached quite a bit when I played. Proof it works in revive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GRRNgGhOD8 Sorry for the low video quality, and frozen Vive camera pointing at my desk.

The only game that has come close in terms of rare enjoyability is... man, I dunno. Superhot, I guess? But superhot has those moments of pure fun power fantasy spaced out between frustration and challenge I guess? GORN doesn't waste any time.

You punch big stupid gladiators, chop their limbs off, beat them with each other, and grab a two-handed war hammer to smash them. He was ducking and diving around the room instantly. It's a good workout. Yeah, it looks like a goofy tech demo, but when you're playing it your latent caveman instincts are unlocked. It's impossible not to enjoy.

Ha that sounds something like when I went with my family in the 90's (I was 11 I remember) and everything we I guess, more "Family Oriented" so every hotel had a ton of high end Arcade experiences, a Afterburner game that was inside a full 360 cockpit that would flip you and everything, tons of 8-16 people Daytona sims, F1 racing sims with 8 players and big screens showing the racers screen for others to watch, and even a cool sort of Tour/Ride in the Luxor that was a pretty awesome experience. Then I went again more recently for a friends Bachelor party and it was all about the drinking/gambling with none of that there. (I don't drink) so I was a bit disappointed. The VR stuff I could see being cool as long as they are hygienic (with all the dunks walking around, you would think they would have to give those headset and controllers a good dunk in cleaning solutions at the end of the day lol. What I don't get is those older networked arcade experiences were a ton of fun, newer stuff seems to have taken the mobile game experiences and shoved them into cabinets and try to charge $.50-$1+ for like 30 seconds. WTF guys if you want to charge that much, make it not suck so dang bad and be worse than what I can play on my phone, for free, anytime I want. Jeez There is a new Arcade/Bar in Sacramento called Coin-Op that is loaded with Pinball and mostly all retro Arcade games at reasonably prices ($.25-$.50 for like a few newer ones like 4 player pacman or Area 51). The food is good and the arcades are all well kept, work and look good, are kept clean (drink holders everywhere so you don't set it on the cabinet itself). It is a ton of fun and exactly what Dave and Buster should have been. It is also one of the most popular bars in Sac I believe now. Go figure when you have fun games you can play drunk, good music, and good food, combined can do. /rant off Hope Vegas gets some Virtuix Omni arcade stations as well, would help my investment into their company more than it already is in China.

I had the game mirrored to a screen set up to the side and tilted towards me, so I was standing (a ways, nor directly) in front of them and could see myself through their eyes. Thinking about it, most people would probably find that a bit confusing, but I dunno, it felt fine for me so long as I kept the vive-wearer in mind as my reference point.

I've had Oculus Touch now for about a day and i'm struggling with some yellow to red "poor tracking quality" errors in one or both sensors. I have gone through the google troubleshooting i could find: updating USB drivers, trying all possible combos of USB connections, disabling "selective USB suspending" in the power options and probably more that i have forgotten now. Sometimes i can get a green light on both sensors, but usually one is messing up. Whenever i get green lights on both, the errors start creeping up after about 15 minutes of play and it becomes unusable. My sensors are attached to the roof infront of my play area ca max 2m away from where i move around, about 120cm apart facing the play area and are connected with active USB 3 extension cables that i got suggested to use ITT. According to both the Oculus VR check and the SteamVR Performance Test i have a system that exceeds the recommended requirements and should have "a great time in VR". Anyone got any ideas? edit: oh and ive tried cleaning the sensors with the cloth that came with the rift Dongattack fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Feb 3, 2017 |

here's my GORN story: When the talking head told me to shoot him in the face with the bow & arrow, I thought he meant the gladiator behind the bars, not the floating talking head (I was pretty high.). So I tried shooting arrows between the bars, which obviously wouldn't go through because I was too dumb to understand the tutorial. I then jumped in the goddamn air and let fly a noble shaft over the bars and straight into the gladiator's noggin, killing him and getting stuck for 10 minutes till restarting since it was my last arrow. I then got to live out my gladiatorial fantasies prancing around as DOUBLE SWORD GANNICUS from spartacus so 10/10 GlyphGryph posted:I had the game mirrored to a screen set up to the side and tilted towards me, so I was standing (a ways, nor directly) in front of them and could see myself through their eyes.

I have gone through the google troubleshooting i could find: updating USB drivers, trying all possible combos of USB connections, disabling "selective USB suspending" in the power options and probably more that i have forgotten now. To get more insight you'll want to look at the service log. The poor tracking quality errors actually mean a number of things, some of which can be revelatory if you hover over the little question mark next to the statement. The oculus service log is very detailed and as of the 1.11 update has some pretty useful logging information in it. You can find the service log at %localappdata%\oculus\ and it starts with Service_<datestamp>.txt Some common issues Most usb controllers are garbage, especially onboard. Seriously, most USB controllers, even intel ones, have had total poo poo implementations since the dawn of time. People who have done serious work with USB have recognized this for a long time, most people just use it for keyboard/mouse/light UFD/HDD stuff where the cracks don't really show. One factor of USB controller garbage is that they aren't powerful enough to keep up with the load placed on them from a fairly intensive device like an Oculus Rift camera, much less if they have anything else on them as well. Solution: Get a dedicated USB card, various ones are available that are reliable. The other factor that is related to USB controller garbage is that they also do a poo poo job of delivering the specified per port power that they are supposed to. Solution is a good USB card as I mentioned above or a good powered USB hub, which is a whole different ball of wax.

Has no one else tried Landfall free beta yet? Go check that poo poo right now. I had a 2v2 match where an opponent tried to air-drop his mech into combat, but saw where it was landing and chucked all my grenades there. It blew up the opponent before he could climb inside and I was able to commandeer it myself and stomp his puny respawn. Seems to work on Revive too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmK32a6iNi4

Actually the people in the lobby chat were saying that, but I was getting pretty lucky and got in multiple 2v2 and 1v1 games with little waiting. Seems like results are varied but yeah the reviews too are saying they need to work on the matchmaking.

It works for now, before reading your post i decided to try and run the entirety of the setup process again and this time it after some random fiddling with the sensor angles i got green lights. Then at the next screen it whined at me to further fiddle with the sensor angles and which way to move them. I really think that screen should be available earlier or at least it should clearly say "SENSORS NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY" in huge red letters at the tracking quality error page if it's the case. Anyway tho, i'm not 100% convinced that was the whole problem, do you think you or anyone else could be bothered to recommend a good USB card? I have a "ASUS Z97-A, Socket-1150" motherboard if that's relevant. I so desperately need to learn more about computers beyond installing new GPUs and ram

This (+ or - port numbers if you want more/less) is the card to get via Oculus themselves. It has worked great in my X79 system with not a single blip so far. Much more reliable than my onboard ports of random functionality and needing full power down scenarios to get working again lol.

Road to VR did an analysis on the Zenimax vs Oculus ruling. They go over each of the allegations, what the jury's instructions were, and how they ruled. I like how the Conversion allegation against Carmack involved RAGE source code. You should have stolen code from a better game, Carmack. http://www.roadtovr.com/verdict-analysis-why-jury-awarded-zenimax-500-million-oculus-vr-lawsuit-facebook-id-software/

The Unspoken (1v1), Rec Room (social), Onward (SteamVR, shooter). I haven't tried it, but people seem to like Arizona Sunshine (zombie shooter). There are some other notable multiplayer games, but I'm not sure of their population. Dead and Buried (western shooter) is free. People love or hate EVE: Valkyrie (space arcade dogfighting, supports bots). BlazeRush gets good word of mouth (toy racing).
