Wilson's Heart is out and, from a narrative/atmosphere standpoint, sounds amazing: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/67hzcb/wilsons_heart_review_megathread/ Time to wait for a sale! e: also wow, hadn't seen this retractable cable spool thing. Looks pretty interesting, that kind of solution was my first thought when it came to cable management issues. They're up on Amazon all over the place (UK link): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XT2XLZ5 El Grillo fucked around with this message at 12:38 on Apr 26, 2017 |

El Grillo posted:e: also wow, hadn't seen this retractable cable spool thing. Of course these might help if you feel the cord, but won't help that after sufficent spinning the cord will get shorter and shorter due to kinking up. If you run advanced settings with SteamVR you can find out which way you need to spin to undo the kinds and then do that during breaks in your play session however.

Wow, UploadVR seemed down on the game after previewing it and now are giving it a 9/10. Ready for some more cool VR single player experiences.

Who knows if it'll be any good or not, but on a conceptual level that sounds rad as gently caress.

Wilson's Heart is cool. Sort of like a good point & click game. Good to finally have a native game to point to with a reasonable campaign.

Finally bought a stand for the Rift, after all these years  Also got the Batman VR thingy, now a disclaimer: I know nothing about Batman and haven't played any of the recent games or seen the films or anything. So judging the game on those merits, it's short but very very sweet. There's some voodoo going on here because a lot of the time the screen door effect was totally absent, or it felt that way. Very impressive visuals. It's essentially a series of puzzles, all simple enough but nice. The ending though is off the scale, I won't spoil it but... at the end you are in a prison cell and the scene fucks around with you in a way only VR can, when you turn around in the cell different stuff appears in a very cool way, all the while there is a mirror in the cell and you can see yourself - it's really really cool It's pretty expensive for what it is but it could be the most impressive thing I've seen so far while it lasted.

Just installed the latest Doom 3 VR mod (Alpha 21) and I swear running around flailing my hysterical eldritch noodle arms on my wacky full body avatar is the best loving thing in the world. Bonus points that the game defaulted to a weird remote control movement thing so I could watch my dude run off into the middle distance waving his arms in the sky

THEY FIXED THE AMD BLACKSCREEN ISSUE!!! I haven't played this since it came out. This rocks in VR! EDIT (Content): Looks like the Vive is also getting eye tracking care of the Vive-X program.

Someone who makes soundboxing levels please help Do you really have to do it note for note in realtime, there's no way to go at say quarter speed or move the balls once they are placed?! I found you can rewind/fast forward but it's still a gigantic pain in the rear end to tune individual notes that were slightly off; there's GOT to be a better way Bhodi fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Apr 28, 2017 |

BTW subnautica did a update and a long-awaited VR pass; they fixed the kb+mouse thing and the docking teleport issue and a slew of other VR related bugs. If it's been sitting in your backlog waiting for a fix, the day has arrived.

Bhodi posted:Someone who makes soundboxing levels please help Nope. It's the only way. Get comfortable with the edit function if you want your beatmaps to be perfect. Honestly, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If you can still groove to the beat and work up a sweat the beat map is fine. Unless you're that giant who makes beatmaps that you'd need 5 elbows to 100% the challenge, then you can get hosed.

Just want to say that I built a PC with a gtx 1080 and bought the rift with touch. Played Robo Recall as the first VR experience I've had. Holy gently caress What I just experienced was out of this world. I can't believe it. It's been 20 minutes since I stopped and I swear I have an afterglow. It's like, I don't' desire to play any games any more because I'm satiated and totally satisfied. The dopamine.... Tenacious J fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Apr 29, 2017 |

Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades had a big content update yesterday, they revamped MEATS UI and added a ton of new MEATS challenges, added a global leaderboard and added a bunch of guns including the Kriss Vector 45. Its insane and totally the best thing to do in the akimbo GUN KATA mode in MEATS. Dual weilding the kriss vector shooting a bajillion rounds per second into the gun kata targets is a pretty incredible experience.

Hidden Gem of the week: Warpaint It's a VR table top turn based strategy game that lets you go from viewing the game in god mode to scaling yourself down to an individual game piece. It's amazing, and I'd love to see some 4x strategy games in VR after playing this. In addition to having various game pieces, you also have catapults that you fire using motion controls. I love the catapult mechanic in this game. Honestly I am very pleased with the variety of VR games that are out there despite the reputation of VR having nothing but wave shooters. iceaim fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Apr 29, 2017 |

From Other Suns is procedural IIRC, which I was dubious about but makes sense in the lasting appeal front. The tested guys were nuts about it too. Speaking of tabletop, Brass Tactics looks great, want a release date on that one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQupOdSq_z8 Seems like this next month's big release is Star Trek which I'm not hyped for, Ubisoft keeps making VR games out of stuff where VR is nothing but set dressing.

It's Star Trek: Artemis, but in VR. Like, it's exactly what I wanted the second I learned about Artemis. I honestly feel sorry for the Artemis devs because the only thing it will have going for it now is it's the non-VR bridge sim game.

I don't really see that about the Ubi games at all, seems like they have a pretty good grasp of VR to me. Werewolves Within is kinda brilliant as an implementation of a social game that doesn't really work on computers otherwise (or at least, other versions of electronic mafia are a materially different game). I don't think Eagle Flight is a particularly good game, but its the kind of game that is only meaningful in VR, if it was just first person bird game on a flat screen there would be no reason to care about it. Star Trek is similar to those two games in a weird way, in that it is a social game that also has that weird wish fulfillment element of actually sitting on the bridge of a starship and working together like they do on the show. In a way that Artemis doesn't quite scratch unless you're the beautiful kind of weirdo that built a replica Enterprise bridge in your basement to play Artemis in.

It looks fun as hell to me but I've been a Trek nerd since I was 5 so I'm biased as gently caress. I watched this (Trigger Warning: You tube personality) and I decided that I would pay full price for the game. Now I get if that doesn't look like fun to you (I couldn't give a poo poo about certain game genres) but for me it fires the wish fulfillment part of my brain hard. Like, I'm that rat in skinner box dot jpeg and the idea of a Star Trek VR bridge sim is the button.

Like I said, you could go play forums mafia or get on BYOND and play some sick Dragonball Z/Naruto themed mafia game right now, but its a materially different game just because of the nature of the interaction. Ubi's Werewolves game is pretty much the closest you can get to sitting down IRL and playing a game of real rear end mafia.

There are similar games to Onward dating back to PS1, why would I play it? I've shot real guns, why play H3? There are similar games to Gorn made in Flash. The list goes on. VR is transformative in ways unreplicable by prior hardware. Literally playing the Serious Sam or Doom 3 vr ports are like playing whole new games.
