Shame, I really enjoy the VR side of it but LOL playing it on a rift unmodded, and i'm not going to jump through 90 hoops to make it 'semi' playable

Of course they are just regular textures, what did you expect for $60? Maybe for another $60, they'll consider adding a DLC with items that can actually be manipulated like you'd expect in a VR game. (They likely had to release this poo poo to prove to the courts that they were invested in VR for their Oculus suit)

Best Buy has a bunch of Samsung headsets up on eBay for the normal retail $500 is anyone was still hunting for one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192425895482 No way I'd get one with the Vive Pro on the horizon, but maybe you have a reason. Edit: Speaking of Vive Pro, did anyone catch that it uses USB-C and DP 1.2? That's a weird change-up... I prefer DP since obviously any GPU is going to have more DP ports than HDMI, but not a lot of desktops have USB-C yet. Maybe it has a dongle to adapt C to A?

Every desktop built from now until forever is going to have USB-C, not having the new de-facto standard port on your pro model VR headset is going to look super quaint in about 18 months. No reason to support legacy hardware on blessing edge pro hardware. Also you get power for free in addition to data with USB-C. Even wireless headphones, wireless Bluetooth speakers, lowest end Chromebooks all use USB-C now. And of course the Nintendo switch. The only device I have not running USB-C at this point is my Kindle.

I got a ModMic 4 and a headphone/mic Y splice so I can use my current Sony MDR-7506 headphones and have a microphone on the Dell. Works pretty well with the exception of having to velcro up about 20 feet of combined cable behind my head. But those headphones work so well with the Dell headband I didn't want to screw around trying to find something else. The ear pieces are thin enough to kinda tuck under it. I can be social and talk to people now!

SpartanIV posted:How is it any less great than a thicker cable? I think the issue is some combination of cable thickness and rigidity, connector size, and moving around. The ratio between connector size and thickness on the current A cables is more favorable than we're going to get on the Cs I think. Maybe there is something they can do with relief at either of the ends to mitigate it. I'm pessimistic about this sort of thing after seeing laptop manufacturers jump on the micro USB bandwagon and messing it up so bad.

The Pro uses a proprietary cable from the headset to the link box as we saw in the Tested video. The USB C cable would just be between the link box and your PC. I don't think my link box moves around that much, but I guess if you're stretching the limits on the cable length, you could run into issues. But if that's the case, I'd assume you could just use a longer USB C and display port cable to your PC. My Nexus 6P is two years old at this point and I have not had any trouble with the cable. It still fits nice and snug into my phone even being plugged and unplugged on a daily basis.

Anyone else with a Dell/WMR having a problem with the sound from the headphone port suddenly turning into ear murdering static? I have to unplug and plug them back in for it to stop. It's done this from the start, with or without the extensions every once in a while, but tonight was really bad. :\

Hopefully it's just placebo, and I haven't had time to test with a fresh install or other ports, but my controls on the Lenovo seemed pretty choppy with these 10ft extensions. I would lose tracking faster and it was just not as smooth, which is really not worth the extra couple feet of space and slack on the tether. The visuals seemed fine, so maybe the extra length for the USB is adding a delay?

I was punching sounds last night and holy crap are some of the tracks extremely poorly made. It's like some people have zero concept of rhythm and just want to flail their arms around like idiots for the whole song. Songs with an obvious beat path, like tracking vocals or lead guitar, are very fun to play even when they're really difficult. I hope there are more rhythm games in development, by companies who can deliver a catalog of professionally made tracks. What a fun genre I'm really looking forward to beat saber

A great playlist and I'm just gone for hours without thinking and end up exhausted. Good exercise, good fun.

ever since I realized the robots copy the creator's movements I always try and throw in some fun stuff. start the song looking the wrong way, do some spins, meditate at the end, etc etc etc. my favourite recent one was where the controller lost tracking at the very end and the robot gets surprised by the disembodied floating hand in front of him. some of my favourite recent ones I've done: https://www.soundboxing.co/challenge/10e44142-fd70-11e7-9ec4-0a580a200d21 - lone digger. imo this one is insanely fun. next level. https://www.soundboxing.co/challenge/dd21672e-0141-11e8-a6ff-0a580a200c53 - dear boy by avicii. also really good.

what would you say the time investment would be to create a beat path for a song that's in sync with the music? how difficult is the editor to work with? i'm kind of tempted to make some tracks because a lot of the songs I'd like to play aren't even available and rather than hope someone else gets to it maybe I can just tackle that myself

What a fun genre If you don't hate J-Pop Airtone has 25 professionally-authored tracks at three difficulty levels. The environments are pretty and there's a setting to turn off the anime girl if that's not your sort of thing. $30 is definitely a bit on the high side for the amount of content it has but I think we're all pretty accustomed to the VR tax these days. edit: One further caveat: The tutorial is long, slow and unskippable, but once you get through it you can just play songs without worrying about any of that stuff again.

It's a one and done thing. ymmv but I usually lay down a good result first try, with repeating movement motifs for certain parts of songs, etc. I use the editor only to go back 10 seconds or so if I blatantly hosed something up. obviously to do this well you need to know the song very well. that said I like doing requests for people so feel free to throw out some songs and I'll make them for you when my fixed controllers get back to me.

Oh, that doesn't sound too bad at all. I'll have to give it a shot next time I play. I'd have to get in there and write down the songs I was hoping to find but couldn't. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I wanted to play but couldn't locate That Airtone game seems maybe like it'd be okay, but 25 tracks doesn't sound like enough of a catalog to warrant that high of a price tag. I truly detest anime but would ignore that to play some good stuff if the value was on point

I'm pretty sure I accidentally skipped the tutorial when I played, because i had to go look for it in the menus again when I had no idea how to play. Also if it doesn't bother you I'd suggest turning on the Japanese voice acting, the English voice actor for the mascot character is not very good from what I recall, she sounded like she was holding her nose shut while talking. The game is definitely good though, the tracks are well made and fairly difficult even on Normal.

I got my ProTube today. Heavier than I expected, but that's probably the bipod and being able to aim at distant targets makes such a difference to immersion. It was pretty fun in Fallout 4 VR spraying bullets pivoting at the shoulder while using the other hand to run away. The grip's a bit awkward and I haven't found a comfortable position for my left hand yet. This is particularly awkward because Fallout 4 VR's Pip boy gets in the way of the scope. Annoyingly the beta update broke my mods which made the reflex sights more visible. Might switch away from pistols, since for rifles having the ProTube meant I no longer needed them. I miss being able to use pistols two handed, so I might have to find an accessory that clips to the top of the wands.
