Feeling extreme hype over here, folks http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/291222 Gabe Newell posted:"So one of the questions you might ask us is 'Why in the world are we making hardware?' So right now, we're building 3 VR games. And what we can do now is to be designing hardware at the same time that we're designing software. This is something that Miyamoto has always had, right?" quote:Newell and team did later confirm that these were not smaller experiments, but intended to be new "full games" Maximum hype

Rec Room quest seems fun, but I can't believe they are still using the garbage teleportation locomotion mechanic. Full free movement ala Onward and that game would be pretty great.

Stick100 posted:Some more quick impressions: Personally I love Quell 4D and think it's very underrated. It does provide a stiff challenge, and I think it is just as amazing as Superhot VR since it makes you feel like a bad rear end. What level did you reach? I am at level 7 currently. I am going to go play some quell 4D now. iceaim fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Feb 10, 2017 |

If only for a video where Gabe reveals "Half Life 3" and everyone goes nuts. Then he looks at the monitor and says "oh whoops, sorry about that, guys." He moves a stool or something out of the way of the camera and now it says "Half Life 3D."

Neddy Seagoon posted:It will be Half-Life 3 alright. Hell the old HL2 VR mod that used the DK1/2 and Hydra was downright amazing when it worked. I wanted to play though HL2 with it but by the time I got home from a Lan where I first tried the drat thing, they patched HL2 and broke the VR/Mod and I have yet to see it updated or working again. (Granted I haven't checked in a while, has it been updated to work again with any of the current headsets/controls?) The way the guy modded it to work in HL2 was way ahead of it's time too. You looked at the side of the gun for ammo, click a button and reload using your other hand. You could actually throw the grenades. It was amazing at the time and another one I wanted to play on the Omni so bad.

Dongattack posted:Yeah. There's so little info online also about what works cause everyone gets told to buy Inateck. I'm gonna order a Asus USB 3.1 Type-A card once my cat gets off me and i can reach my VISA, if it doesn't solve my tracking issue i can just return it. So this thing is here now and installed, so far so good. Both sensors are hooked up to the card and both are green and have stopped whining after i updated the cards drivers. But one sensor says its USB 2.0 and the other 3.0, what's that about?

Dongattack posted:Is that something to care about? If you only have two sensors and none are using extension cables, I would probably try to get it running in USB 3 mode. Running in USB 2 mode does stuff like jpeg compression on the images that are sent from the camera so they may not be as accurate in certain circumstances.

For some reason the joystick locomotion makes me REALLY queasy in obduction. I'm not sure why that game specifically, since I didn't have much problem in onward or other games.

Bhodi posted:For some reason the joystick locomotion makes me REALLY queasy in obduction. I'm not sure why that game specifically, since I didn't have much problem in onward or other games. Its not the joystick free locomotion itself that is the problem, its the implementation. Onward is a total dream to play, outstanding movement controls (basically FPS level movement with no jumping) with no vr-sickness at all because they do a few important things that other games don't. I played Onward for about 30 hours before trying out DOOM3 BFG VR. I have never once got the slightest hint of vr-sick in Onwards even with multi hour play sessions but I had to lay down and forcibly quell some sim-sickness I got after 30 minutes of DOOM3 BFG VR. There are a lot of things that probably accidentally happen that help vs things that were conscious design decisions. 1: Movement speed isn't too high and defaults to fairly slow speed unless you key the sequence to sprint. This translates to a fairly smooth and predictable acceleration speed, which is what you are used to. 2: Turning is either IRL turning or small increment snap turning, so you don't get a weird rotational velocity your brain is struggling to understand. Moving in multiple directions at the same time (forwards + pitch up + yaw left for example) greatly increases the chances of getting vr-sick or real-life-motion-sickness if you are in say a car/rollercoaster ride. 3: When you move forwards or backwards or strafe side to side and turn your head to look around, your original direction is maintained. This makes your movement direction very consistent. 4: Lots of "anchor points" with where your body is in the game world. Your two hands, part of your torso, and a weapon all work towards framing your perception of you moving through the world much your body does in real life. The end result is that it is very easy to translate your characters movement in game with what your brain is anticipating happening. Motion sickness and vr-sickness (previously known as sim-sickness in really immersive flight sims) are two sides of the same coin. Your brain is either receiving input from your body (sense of motion in direction your head isn't currently pointed at) that doesn't match up with what you are anticipating (because you are reading a book in a car) OR your brain is getting input from your eyes that you are going in a direction you weren't anticipating, because you are going in too many directions at once or you are going in an unanticipated direction accidentally because of poor movement controls. rage-saq fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Feb 10, 2017 |

I tried out Knock Out League tonight, and for early access, that's pretty cool. Very Punch Out like, with figuring out the opponents' patterns and having to dodge or block and counter punch. Only four opponents right now, but hopefully they will add a bunch more. The actual gameplay feels good and I found it challenging. Also, my quads are killing me. It's a decent workout if you're really dodging.
