There was a video of someone doing flips while using one, I think unless you're literally trying to cover it up intentionally it'll probably be fine

This image makes a lot more sense in context for those who didn't grow up with Where's Waldo? Books. Those people illustrated are only a couple mm tall each.

Hi goons, if you're not sold on Star Trek Bridge Crew a really handsome guy did a stream earlier today and will be doing another one shortly. My impression? It's amazing.

That does look fun as hell but I'm worried about how it plays with randos (both the lack of camaraderie and the lack of skill/order following/playing the objective).

Pretty well, actually! Everyone has to communicate and improvise to succeed, and it's pretty much impossible to troll.

In the first VoD I play most of it with randos after the goons either crash or step out. They're pretty great.

Does ubisoft do PC-PSVR cross play as well? Would be great if so, might mean when I finally get to play vr again in a month, there will still be people on Bridge Crew...

Yeah, Mateo (PSVR guy) didnt use motion controls so they couldnt gesture, otherwise he played the same as the rest of us.

Can you invite PSVR people via uplay IDs or is the cross play just matchmaking? Should we set up a spreadsheet or something

It's via uplay. There's a username channel in the VR Goons discord channel, that's how we found eachother.

Nope! I really like it on Rift with the Touch controllers, but that's just me. Everyone can play together.

You can find pubbies really easily, or try the VR goons Discord.

I personally bought it through the uplay store and chose an Oculus Home key, then activated it through Oculus Home. All three major headsets can cross-play together since it uses UPlay for the friends list and servers.

Shamus Young has finished his write-up series on the Zenimax v Facebook trial and the tl;dr is he spends it sucking Carmack's cock and completely uncritically accepting all his absurd arguments (and completely ignores his bald-faced lie about wiping his hard drive) and also that Zenimax is a supervillain.

You can play it single player I'm pretty sure, you get AI crew members and you can give them general orders and take over their positions if need be

Sorry but I had to clarify. In the Uplay shop there are 2 options "VR Rift" and "VR Vive". I have a Rift, but I can buy the "VR Vive" version (which activates on Steam) and play with my rift using Steam VR? I would prefer it to do this way to not fragment my library.

I bought it off Steam and it worked with my rift just fine!

Yes and if you play on the TOS Enterprise bridge all the audio is period-appropriate.

I also got around to Super Hot VR; it's short, but a real hoot. I wonder if a level editor or encounter designer could be in the work.

I believe the developer had mentioned that a level editor just won't be possible because of their game engine design. If it were possible, I imagine it would have an incredible amount of levels designed due to the lack of needing anything but geometry. Don't need to spend much time getting textures just right or detailed models.

Bridge crew is a lot of fun, but very dependent on not playing with idiot mouth breathers. Getting into a mission with a group thats totally falling into character, is some of the geekiest fun I've had.

I dug out my ol' DK2 for some Star Trek Bridge Crew multiplayer, turns out that at some point Oculus disabled software IPD adjustment making it just about useless. None of the workarounds seem to work, has anyone else had any luck?

DK2 IPD Workaround:

Exit Oculus Home
Stop OVRService
Edit the file C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Oculus\NetServer.cfg
On the line that says "DK2LensSeparationOverride": 0,
Change 0 to your IPD (in meters: example for 63.8mm change to 0.0638)
Save the file
Start OVRService


Note: I haven't tried this but I've just looked at that file on my PC and it is there, can't see why this wouldn't work :)
