It'd be more enjoyable if it didn't feel so unoptimized, both in the menu navigation and since my 1080Ti seems unable to deliver 90fps. Hopefully Project Cars 2 doesn't require endless rebooting through awkward menus to find acceptable graphics settings. Nope, still does. :/

Then if you win you win a VR system that you already have to play the game you're the best in the world at. They should give away a Vive because whoever wins this already owns a Rift. It's like when I won the World's Most Generous Lover competition and the prize was a pad of pre-printed "good for one backrub" coupons and I am like, "guys , you don't think I already have my own pad of backrub coupons?"

No everyone gets a copy of the game, winner gets $100 + continue in tournament. I have a Rift+touch but not a copy of the game so I entered and expect to lose just to see the tournament and get a free copy.

Vive deluxe strap is up on amazon.ca for preorder, 140 CDN. I bought it because I'm dumb, but also because headphone cable management and strap adjusting is really annoying when demoing for people. Hopefully the speakers are of good quality because this thing ain't cheap.

What's the effective per-eye resolution of the Rift for comparison? The more companies that make headsets the better. Of course they're screwed if they don't make them Steam VR-compatible with existing titles. I hope they understand that.

The Rift and Vive are 1080x1200 per eye. This looks pretty interesting, but is it using the hololens API? If so, good luck playing VR games on it. Unless SteamVR also supports hololens.

Also lack of good tracked motion controllers means its already relegated to tier2-at-best status when it comes to VR PC gaming.

The G920 works with the Xbox One, PC, and PS3, while the G29 works with the PS4, PC, PS3. It is freaking stupid and all they are, are G27's with console specific buttons and whatever chip is required to make them work. There is nothing wrong with the G25/27 otherwise. The G25 even has a switchable shifter you can swap between Gate and quick shifter which they removed for whatever reason from the G27+ but the G27+ have the smoother feeling/sounding gearing so there are pro's/con's but no major differences between actual usage performance.

Unless you find one real cheap, don't bother with a G29. Logitech thinks they can charge big prices like Thrustmaster and Fanatec without putting in the effort. Where the G25/7 came with the wheel, pedals, and a shifter, the G29 is just the wheel and pedals. It's also pretty much the same internally as the G25/27. Don't spend 400 dollars on a wheel that has gears in it.

Does Thrustmaster sell a set (preferably PS4 compatible) with a clutch pedal that isn't twice as expensive as the G29 though? That's the only reason I've been kinda looking at the G29, I want a clutch

Shame that lenovo thing will be wired. Mind you at that price you could get the third party wireless thing for vive if its compatible and still come out ahead on cost. Wonder what the fov/fps is. Also of therell be hand tracking. By the way i just updated to some oculus home recommended usb drivers and am now reinstalling windows. Just as a warning

Though it looks like the G29 came down in price and is 300 dollars now. I'd still recommend not getting it because it has inferior internals.

Make sure that 920 comes with a Shifter. If not make sure you get that separate if you want one. It should be pretty cheap used.

Gather around and hear the tale of my first seated VR experience! So I was browsing the Steam VR store in VR (my first mistake) when I noticed that Subnautica was on sale and it listed official Vive support (see section 2: Support Rant). "Hey," I spoke aloud for the benefit of the readers, "I've heard good things about Subnautica. Let's try it out for $10." Bought and installed the game, launched VR tried to launch the game. "This game doesn't support motion controls." Oh, well that sucks. Ok, I already bought so I guess I'll try out VR as a seated experience then. I plug in my 360 controller and launch the game sans wands. The start menu looks good (if a bit low to the ground, no big deal.) I point my face at the start button and hit "A" on the controler. Nothing. Hmmm. Windows sees the controller. I load up another game, it recognizes the controller and I can play a bit. I try unplugging the controller and launching Subnautica with just mouse and keyboard. Again, I point my cursor at the start button and lry a mouse click. Nothing. Enter? Nothing. Hmmm.... A goick google search doesn't reveal much other than this is a known issue and people get into stupid internet slap fights over everything, including what constitutes "VR support" and if the 360 controller is or is not the most supported controller on PC or of all time. "Well, that was fun." I again say aloud for the purpose of the narrative as I request a refund of my $10. I could have probably dicked around with it and found a solution, but honestly I was already disappointed in myself for not noticing that it was seated only and I didn't feel like troubleshooting a controller issue for an early access game. And that's my seated VR experience. Section 2: A small rant. If you don't support the controller/control scheme that came with a system, then you don't support the system. Just because you opened the project in unity and/or unreal and clicked the checkbox for "render in VR" does, technically, mean you created a VR game, but if you aren't going to bother to support the entire VR system then it's no better than a lovely android game port.

Subnautica is ridiculously picky about its controllers for some reason. If I use a PS4 controller and if I don't have DS4Windows set up just right as long as I have my controller plugged in I'm stuck slowly spinning in place clockwise. Very fun to troubleshoot in VR. I don't agree with the second point though. The game predates VR hand controllers by a couple of years, its had VR support since the Rift DK1, and I don't think it would be materially improved by supporting them. There's a place for all kinds of input methods in VR, steering wheels, flight sticks, gamepads, guitar controllers. Hand presence is good but not everything needs it.

Unless SteamVR also supports hololens. The only reason the Rift works with SteamVR is because Valve (not Oculus) took the effort to write a wrapper that created a compatibility layer between the Oculus and SteamVR APIs. That will almost certainly also happen with the hololens headsets too. Even Razer Hydras work in SteamVR which is the only way many OpenVR headsets not using lighthouses/cameras can have motion controls. Would probably be a good solution albeit slightly less than ideal solution with Hololens headsets for people wanting to play The Lab and other steamvr games. iceaim fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Apr 25, 2017 |

Batman Arkham VR is finally out on PC, it's alright, I guess. £15 is hella' steep for what took me 45-ish minutes to finish in one It is very pretty however. It's neat seeing what VR looks like with AAA money behind it.

Some of them are interesting, a lot of them are pixel hunting, but getting them all probably won't take you more than another 45 minutes. It is drat pretty though, and you're the goddamn Batman.

homeless snail posted:Maybe, circumstances are a little different since the Microsoft Holographic stuff is only accessible to UWAs afaik, might not be possible to shim it in the way that the Rift and OSVR SteamVR bridges work. I'm sure someone will hack it but it might be too messy for Valve to want to bother with it. It would be pretty retarded of Microsoft to not allow compatibility for Open VR. Fragmenting VR like that is counter-productive.
