El Grillo posted:I don't mind the platform chat, seems absurd to keep it out especially given this thread is pretty quiet most of the time. If things get out of hand Knifegrab will just be banned again (because it is his destiny) and we'll all go back to business as usual. Yeah I'd agree with all of this. It will be interesting to see which way it goes. I would LOVE for Oculus to become an agnostic platform. Digital distribution competition is good and benefits all users. Plus Home is pretty neat. It will really really bum me out if they go the anti-consumer greed route. AndrewP posted:Per The Verge, Rift and Touch have each been dropped $100 to make a complete system $598. I keep hearing the Vive is seriously outpacing the Rift in sales, but most of that is estimations based on usage since we don't have actual numbers as far as I'm aware. I wonder if this is in response to that. They are almost certainly taking a serious loss now right? mad.radhu posted:Rec Room eye tracking: https://www.againstgrav.com/blog/2017/2/28/eye-tracking-in-rec-room This fuggin owns.

Rec Room is one hell of a game. Can't wait for that. Now the question is will the social awkward people be able to use it and either gain eye contact confidence, or cower away because it is too intense, even in VR? Also I really look forward to VR Poker in RecRoom for some reason.

Despite my distaste for Facebook as a company, I have to admit I'd struggle to recommend people get a Vive with the current pricing. HTC need to cut prices to stay competitive.

I'm a Vive owner and love mine, but if someone asked for a recommendation for purchasing a headset today I'd probably suggest the Rift. The exception would be if they had plenty of money and a huge space (like, 15'+), and even then I'd probably be kind of split.

I still think if money isn't a factor (and for something this expensive if $200 makes or breaks you you should pass) then you should be trying both out before you make a decision. There are a lot of subtle differences and you don't know which ones are make or break until you try it. A Rift might not even fit on your head!

For someone more casual I'd recommend they get a Rift and just do the front facing set up. That's gonna be more than enough for most people, it's easy to set up and 200 bucks cheaper. And they can always spend 60 bucks for another sensor for room scale if they wanna. I demo'd my Rift to a friend and while he loved it, he didnt feel inclined to do a lot of spinning and walking around the room. AndrewP fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Mar 1, 2017 |

So not only does Robo Recall support mods, they are also releasing the full source code of the game. I hope some neat stuff comes out of that.

When I put the vive on someone they either stand perfectly still and just kind of paw around at the air. Other people go hog wild with the space. I really hope wireless encourages the latter.

Bad rear end I recently got a fancy Roomba which pushed me over the $1500 in a year so that gave me elite status and changed the return policy at Best Buy from 15 days to 30 days. Just got my price match.

So, having just gotten a Pixel XL, is there any point to getting a Daydream headset? It looks like all the fun stuff is on the Vive, and that's a cost I can't manage.

It's got Netflix on it and Netflix is good as hell on GearVR (as is watching any TV shows or movies if you're on your own) so I'd say it's probably worth the $80 bucks if you already have a compatible phone.

They acknowledge that ReVive exists by doing so and are like "Yeah, Vive users can buy it, Touch users get it free" but haven't put it on Steam or given native Vive support. Theoretically every possible user will have it for free, but they still sell it for money anyway, but they've accepted a weirdly pragmatic option and I kinda appreciate it and kinda dislike it? Really weird.

I'd have to confirm but at this point if you want Dead and Buried (40 bucks), Medium (30), Quill (30), and RoboRecall (30) you might be able to buy the Touch controllers for 100 and then just not use them, lol

Other people go hog wild with the space. I really hope wireless encourages the latter. Yep this is pretty much my exact experience. Have any sort of VR Party / Demo Day, and you either get people that are able to jump right in and understand VR like it's been around forever, or you get the ones that you put it on and the freeze up even though they've been watching people moving all around for the past hour in the same game. Games like Audioshield seem to break that up a little bit once they sort of get the idea, but it still takes them much longer to figure out how to use their real legs in VR. This may be where the Oculus sort of has the edge with the sit down crowd. Plopping them in a chair and throwing up Henry, Elite, etc gets them into VR and they enjoy looking around and experiencing the Presence before they start getting their Hands and rest of their body into the mix. Either way, it's still amusing to me that my non gamer GF is so much better at VR then a few of my best friends.. I need new friends. She's first below my best score in SPT and above everyone else lol.

Does anyone play Dead and Buried though? jumped into take a look and outside of the shooting range I couldn't get a full game going.

robo recall is a TON of fun, probably the best shooter I've played so far. BUT they really an option to make the facing teleport be relative to your facing when you TP rather than the facing of the room. It's super annoying.

Does anyone play Dead and Buried though? jumped into take a look and outside of the shooting range I couldn't get a full game going. I played a little D&B at the weekend and didn't have too difficult a time finding a full match. It's definitely gotten slower though. I really love the game and think it's pretty badly underrated by many, but it's usually something I'll do at the beginning of a VR for half an hour, and then move onto something a bit slower-paced. Shootouts in Dead and Buried can be pretty intense (and hell on my knees!) HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Really weird that they did that.

Robo Recall is cool poo poo. They've basically removed every obstacle most shooters have and tried to make you feel as badass as possible. The point of this game is not really to avoid dying - it's to kill as many dudes as possible while looking as cool as you can. Easily the best shooter I've played, a standout title so far. And the gun angle actually feels great! I wish I could make some verrrry slight adjustments to it but it's pretty much fine as is. Bhodi posted:BUT they really an option to make the facing teleport be relative to your facing when you TP rather than the facing of the room. It's super annoying. THIS. I want to be able to spin around AND use the teleport facing depending on the situation, but right now if you spin you've lost your sense of where "forward" is and now who knows where you're going to end up facing when you teleport. I think it's making me a little woozy honestly.
