Good on Oculus, I sent my headset in for an RMA after the right earphone died and they sent me an entirely new unit, not a refurb like I was expecting. Turnaround was drat quick too, I sent the package out on the 11th and got the new one today, 19th.

So. There’s a new patch that addresses a ton of your graphics problem. Gameplay isn’t janky? There’s some issues sure like the p90 is still annoying as gently caress to rack a bullet or whateve. But it feels “as smooth” as a lot of the FPS titles out there. Controls, should be very similar to oculus anyways. Trackpad to move, buttons to grab and vault and armswing move, and triggers and grip for gun holding firing etc. Sounds like more you need to join the discord and ask questions and play more. It’s an early access title that plays super good. I also am bias af because I enjoy the poo poo out of it. But it’s not nearly as bad as your quote sounds. They also have insanely active devs. poo poo gets patched faaaaast

Compared to what I've seen of PUBG Standout is actually rock solid. Also sorry you had a bad interaction with another player, everyone I've dealt with has actually been super nice. Stuff on VR doesn't look as good as flatscreen but I think it's a good looking/playing game. I don't play it much just because I don't care to wait for a few minutes to wait for a minute to go find a gun then spend a few minutes sneaking around to then get shot by people that are better than me. I'd rather play Pavlov and get to shoot someone far more often. If I was better/had a stock I could see absolutely loving the game/combat. It's changed massively in a manner of weeks. In the beta the guns were horrid spray machines but they keep refining the gun-play and it's much better already.

Is there any site that tracks VR game deals specifically? I have a Dell WMR headset coming in tomorrow, got it as part of the Amazon deals. I've used them before, so at $220 I think it'll be a nice level of compromise until the Vive Pro full package is out. Now I just need to start collecting the games. I know Space Pirate Trainer is a no brainer, that initial Vive demo with it in the glass storefront of a MS store remains one of the single most amazing moments of gaming I've ever had. Really interested in soundboxing too.

Bots can shoot you through walls, geometry popin is so bad that you'll be shooting at someone for a minute and you walk a little closer to find out that they were on the other side of a massive boulder, if you're holding too many items stuff gets stuck in your hands unless you drop them far away from your body, the audio spatialization is so bad you can't tell if someone is five or five hundred feet away from you sometimes, and on and on. I enjoy the game (played at least 20-30 hours or so) but it's very clearly early access jank, and if you're looking for something refined you're not gonna get that experience.

When people were stepping on the cord and they didn't sell it separately yet, they were mailing out replacements for free. Their store still blows though, they outright refused to pricematch stuff if they put it up for sale a day after you buy it from them, even though I hadn't played the games yet, and their "automatic refund" takes like 5 days to go through.

Yeah, they could learn from Steam's mistake of daily deals. Haven't done more than a single game purchase for awhile, though I remember the last time I wanted more than one game, it made each game purchase a separate charge instead of going into a cart and being a single charge.

Yeah I was watching some Lenovo Explorer impressions videos and it seems like the Windows headsets aren't bad all tracking limitations considered. They do room scale pretty easily and things like winding up a throw or using a bow and arrow, where a hand is going out of view of the cameras, aren't nearly as big an issue as I thought. Considering how cheap they're getting I might grab one soon and hold off on the proper VR poo poo until next year. Who has a Windows headset in the thread? Is there any noticeable latency from the inside out tracking? My brother was trying to convince me that "there has to be a ton of lag" moving your head around, but after watching and reading no one ever mentioned latency.

I have a Samsung Odyssey and yeah, overall the tracking is great, the only problem is the limitations on the range of the controllers but they're mostly fine.

I forget, but I think the Dell one is the only one that lets you adjust interpupilary distance and that's probably the most important considering they have to meet other fairly decent minimum reqs to market them as "windows".

Though looking into it a bit more. It seems these headsets are 1440x1440 per eye, whereas the Odyssey is supposed to be 1440x1600 per eye. I guess that's enough to dissuade me from getting one and just wait for something better.

I have an Acer dev kit and it's really robust. If it weren't for the controller range I'm not sure I'd be able to tell you it was inside out if I didn't know any better.

The Odyssey is the only one that has hardware IPD adjustment. Having tried another one and the Odyssey side by side, the higher res and the fact it's OLED vs LCD means it far and away has the best screen. It's also around $300 more because of the sale on the rest of them. I have the Dell one arriving tomorrow, so I can give a trip report on more than a brief demo in the next couple days.

Hey, never seen anyone mention these here so I figured I'd ask. Anyone tried Marshmallow Melee? It seems like a really neat idea, especially when the miniature town was my favorite part of the initial Oculus demo. Haven't heard any talk about Shooty Fruity either... seems like an interesting twist on the usual wave shooter (having to scan supermarket items while shooting fruit).

I got pretty excited about that Windows Mixed Reality sale, but my IPD is 70, and it sounds like only the Samsung (not on sale) would really work for me. Oh well, back to waiting until post-tax season to upgrade for the Rift. Edit: screw it, ordered the Lenovo, I'll try it out, if it sucks it can be returned because Amazon.

I returned my MR headset pretty quickly. No 360 tracking is an abomination. If you want to VR just please get a Vive or a Rift. The worst thing about some of these "180" VR kits is some games are designed around them. It's especially noticeable when using bows. Gerdalti posted:Edit: screw it, ordered the Lenovo, I'll try it out, if it sucks it can be returned because Amazon. It does suck, a whole lot. What's even worse is like having to launch the windows MR portal thing and then launch steam VR. It's just a boggled mess. Much like the vast majority of the VR game market right now. There's a handful of games with 100+ concurrent players but most are sub 20 concurrent players and multiplayer is dead. They better keep shoveling money into Rec Room so the player count stays high enough for people to not immediately return their VR headsets because the only MP games anyone actually plays are Rec Room, Arizona Sunshine, Bridge Crew, and Serious Sam VR. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Jan 20, 2018 |

You have to launch oculus home to use steamvr. I mean, let’s be real here thats not a huge deal. I also don’t understand your nobody is playing Vr comment. It’s not like you’re walled off from people using a Microsoft headset. People are playing stand out and all kinda of stuff with them. I’m not saying Vr is perfect or the ms headsets are amazing but your post reads like you had some insane unreal expectations of Vr in general. Also since when is something with no sensors 180? Did you just not set your games and stuff in 360 mode? You’re the first person to say “lol no 360 tracking” and there’s been plenty of people in thread who owned or owns one and did not even mention that. And being such a big deal you’d think they would. Idk your post seems like the bullshit my rl friends say about Vr and they have never even tried it.

The mixed reality headsets tracking behind your back is horrendous and useless. It's 180 tracking. No one is playing multiplayer VR games regardless of what headset you have, why is this hard to understand? So far I've dropped $600 into a Vive and $200 for a set of 2 additional controllers because they're trash. The hardware is trash, the game selection is trash, you need $700+ of hardware to play at 60 FPS constant, and pretty much no one plays. Might be because of the former three factors. I've spent the money and went "Why did I just drop $1500 to get the VR experience and no one is playing anything but rec room?" I've milked all of the content out of Rec Room at 80 hours played. The only multiplayer games with 70+ concurrent players are: Rec Room Arizona Sunshine Onward Bridge Crew Serious Sam VR: Last Hope Stand Out is sub 50 concurrent players peak and usually has sub 30. You should stop shilling for their dead, buggy, and janky game as people have said in this thread before. Gerdalti posted:Turns out my CPU is too old for Windows MR anyway. Order cancelled. VR is going to set me back like $2k, more if crypto currency doesn't crash completely soon. I would say minimum requirements for VR are an i5-6600K and a GTX1060 or equivalent. So that's $500 right off the bat, add in $100 minimum for a mobo, drop another $140 for 16 GB DDR4 and you're at $740 just in hardware for entry level online VR play. Assuming you have a case and good enough PSU. EbolaIvory posted:your post reads like you had some insane unreal expectations of Vr in general. Yeah games being actual games and not tech demos is really an unreal expectation. The only VR games I've found that warrant the title "Actual Game" are conversions of existing games to VR like Fallout 4 VR. I'm not going to hash out the issues with Fallout 4 VR because it would be beating a dead horse. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jan 20, 2018 |

I really don't think you need a sixth gen i5 minimum for VR. I posted about this specifically earlier in the thread but I went from 100% ASW in some Sairento maps to solid 90fps on highest settings just by upgrading from 1333mhz ddr3 to 2060mhz. This is with a 3570K.
