Is anyone excited for the update on Fallout 4 VR at E3? As far as I know it's Vive only, but everyone I've read was impressed outside of motion sickness at last years reveal. The only thing I can see having issues is reading the Pip-Boy.

I know Fallout 4 will be playable on the floor.

Luckily the PipBoy's interface is completely green which should greatly help with readability in pentile headsets.

Arizona Sunshine comes to PSVR this month and with support for the Aim controller, so I'd like to hear opinions about that game from you fine people. Probably going to be $40 for us too, but we will have said controller making a gigantic difference in immersion and the lot. Farpoint quickly made peoples best FPS in recent years lists thanks to it.

Despite its issues I'd say it's one of the best experiences I've had so far. Pretty immersive and some of the darker areas can be very tense (I am a big wuss). My only gripe is the protaginist being extremely cheesy, calling every zombie "Fred" or "Freddie", I guess in some effort to avoid using the z-word and be generic. My family members that love The Walking Dead and the like are crazy about it, and even my older mother-in-law comes over specifically to play it (and she doesn't play video games). Stick100 posted:They didn't announce DOOM VR. They just showed some DOOM 2016 assets in VR. They haven't discussed plans to release any content yet. Well, drat that's disappointing. Some sites I looked at were listing it as TBA, but confirmed. I wish more older games would go back and add VR support. Serious Sam is the bomb on Vive.

It's pretty rad that Ubisoft keeps doing this cross platform thing. Werewolves is the only PSVR multiplayer game I can actually find games in. Well, that and Farpoint but that game is brand new still. Bridge crew should actually have some longevity because of it.

VR is pretty hard to do so it makes sense that you'd need to have pretty good grasp of your game engine/the original engineers. Many of the older game engines would be really hard to retrofit. It makes sense that a smaller/insular company the often reworks it's titles would be able to do it while other companies would have a much harder time. They had just done a Serious Sam remaster recently so the tech was probably near a modern API already. I think we're a lot more likely to see VR versions of remasters of games then the older games themselves.

Colonial Air Force posted:Is Bridge Crew worth $50? Or should I just wait for a sale? I would say it depends on the value you get out of your entertainment. I would say I've probably played it for maybe 14 hours since last sunday, and the game cost about the same as 2 movie tickets, but I've definitely gotten much more value out of the game than I would have seeing a couple movies this past week, and I'm still not close to bored with the game. Its one of the most fun times I've had in VR. If you want to compare it to the amount of content you'll get out of an equally priced non VR game? Well, no you're not getting that. Theres 6 missions at the moment, 5 categories of random missions, and 2 bridges. The real fun of the game is just while you may do say mission 3 a bunch of times, its never the same experience when you're with totally different people, and in a different role. Things going pear shaped and everyone starting to panic and get stressed is a big part of the fun. That will only go so far of course if they never release new content, so, yeah I guess it depends on how you value your entertainment purchases.

Arizona Sunshine has its issues but it has moments of organic greatness that comes from the panic of waves. Finishing a fight and looking around to see the bodies and the half empty magazines you dropped in a panic is a great experience.

There's a moment in the PSVR announce trailer (~0:10) with a rifle on a bipod, maybe they added long guns specifically for the two-handed controller?

That is a setpiece, you can't take that rifle with you. There are a few mounted weapons like that but everything else is one-handed (but includes smgs and such)

Watching two Russians go through the dark mine right now and the game is on my shopping list, perfect. Underground, tight spaces, full darkness, zombies, all things that combined make a 4x combo of making people poo poo themselves, I will have pain in the cheeks from smiling as I go through it. Hope it comes just after E3 or something.

Been meaning to ask this, but does anyone want to add each other on Steam? Definitely need more friends to play VR with, and they may as well be goons. My username is the same as here.

Not sure what that entails other than not duel weilding, but the aim is insanely good compared to the move controllers for tracking.

Arizona Sunshine's weakest point by far are the horde sections, particularly the mine one. Even with locomotion, you're just not agile enough to really be on the move and the reload mechanics and relative sparsity of ammo can be a real pain. I had to redo the mine sequence some 10 times or so before I got it nailed down, they feel balanced for co-op play but not for solo.

I banged my head against the horde section in the mine 8 or 9 times before I decided I was done with the game for now.

Bridge Crew MP is kind of amazing, even when you get blown up by klingons. Mixing PC and console was totally seamless too, no one would have noticed if we didn't all ID ourselves. We tried the OG Enterprise bridge, but noped straight back to the menu when we discovered that it's absolutely 100% accurate to the show, right down to everyone's panel being a random grid of unlabeled LEDs and switches.

I think it's definitely worth full price, but if you've played any Ubisoft games at all you should already have enough points for that discount, if not there's some account shenanigans you could do to get the required points

You should've gone for it, it's not so bad if you've done the Aegis and roughly know what you should be doing. Combat is more straightforward for example since you have fewer options for hacking and power distribution, it's just more difficult to do the basic stuff. Once you can turn off the labels it gets pretty sweet.
