rage-saq posted:Yesssss, CF magtube supremacy! I just got the latest carbon fibre prototype magtube cups the other day and played some stand out with them last night and it’s a thing of beauty. The previous magtube prototype cups were quite a bit heavier but still so good compared to normal methods, now it’s just like butter. I've just got CF pipes. It's plenty light enough for me. Stick100 posted:Guys with the new magtubes, are you using Touch controllers or Vive controllers? I got a knockoff stock and it works well with Vive controllers but just doesn't seem to work well for me with touch controllers. I'm on Vive controllers.

Stick100 posted:knockoff stock Problem found. Protube products are extremely well design, the knockoff stuff has all been total crap. The shape of the touch and vive controllers are so wildly different that you really need a precision fit for each device. I’ve got a rift btw

rage-saq posted:Problem found. Protube products are extremely well design, the knockoff stuff has all been total crap. Oh I got different cups. The issue I had is that the touch controllers don't stick in the cups well (probably need to remove straps) and that the touch controllers don't seem to do well if you aim them straightforward. With Vive that's not a problem. I assume with Protube there are two different cups for left and right for rift?

Spoggerific posted:I've had my Vive for a couple weeks now and have been having a lot of fun with it, but most of the games I've been playing have been short 1-2 hour "experiences" like The Lab, simulators like H3VR, or repetitive games like Beat Saber. These are all great games, but I've been looking for something longer to sink my teeth into. Other than Fallout 4 VR and Skyrim VR, are there just not that many big games available for VR? It doesn't have to be as expansive as Skyrim, but I'd like to have something in VR that I can easily put 15+ hours into. To The Top - course based platformer game. About 30 levels, easily 15 hours of gameplay if you enjoy going for the medals. One of my favourites. Scanner Sombre - only about 2 hoursish but it's super cheap and is an incredibly well made and cohesive experience. a 'sink your teeth into for one afternoon' game The Serious Sam and Talos Principle games have been mentioned, along with the Oculus Store games. All are fantastic. Lone Echo in particular is probably the best piece of software made for VR yet. it's incredible. Doom 3 has a great VR mod with full motion controls COMPOUND is a fantastic lo-fi aesthetic roguelike shooter Twisted Arrow has been sitting in my to-play list for ages, it's apparently pretty good and a good length Obduction is great if you like Myst-style adventures, though there are some issues with the VR version's playability and performance. Vanishing Realms isn't long, maybe 4 hours, but it's a great single player experience and is inexpensive. LA Noire is a very very well done conversion of some cases from the pancake version, probably 8-10 hours of content.

I think Horus Station is a dumb name for a video game (or a station).

Gort posted:Elite's simultaneously great and lovely in VR. Flying is amazing, but plotting routes and taking the headset off to look at one of the million websites required to play the game effectively are really bad, as is doing stuff like flipping the mission board over and over. Can't you use Virtual Desktop or OVRDrop for that?

I just skipped around and I like the bit where they note that the thing lights up to alert others that you’re recording, as if someone might have a human interaction with someone wearing these fuckin things.

This is so perfect especially when you combine their twitch stream today that totally bombed and was totally worthless and chat was having absolutely none of it. Def watch the replay if you want a laugh of what two hosts nervously ignoring 5000 frustrated nerds who want some loving real talk on their vaporware.

They showed a camera view with graphics overlaid at one point but I don't think it was made using the device. This feels like the Theranos of VR.

I feel like that woman should not have dressed up as a scary nun/judge to sell that thing because it's not helping it look less like something from a dystopian nightmare.

As long as people are recommending games, try out water bears. It's not some masterpiece or anything, but it's a decent functional roomscale puzzle game that's enjoyable and actually uses 3d space for it's puzzles. Good for demos.

People are recommending games? In that case, I'd go for Red Stare. You play an agent in the 60s and have to observe an apartment to find out who the Russian agents. You get objectives from your boss, have to take picture from people and fax them. In the mean time, the room you're in has all sorts of fun little environment things to draw you in, but also help you. I really enjoyed placing photos on a blackboard, circling them with chalk and connecting them with each other. It's a fun detective-like game. Also noteworthy: it's free.

Moss is now up on Steam. Apparently it's considered to be quite a good PSVR game. Also Sairento's getting a DLC pack of three new weapons (and Relics for them) in the next few days; A claw that launches said claws as projectiles one-by-one (or three at once with a Relic), a hook on a chain, aaaand... I can't remember the third one from the patch notes right now  . They're all weapons that can be used for both melee and ranged attacks.

JazzFlight posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ak2h3PkY1I This looks absolutely fantastic. Flying, climbing, gliding, walking in an open world, upgrading yourself, fighting people- it looks and sounds like an honest to goodness AAA game even if it was a flatscreen game, never mind a made exclusively for VR game. The next year of VR is going to be an exciting time. EDIT: Oh and looks like the first footage of Echo Combat is out. I was just expecting deathmatch for some reason, but to see it has a payload mode has me just incredibly excited for this now. I hope some other maps have more verticality to them, as that one seems pretty much on one plane. I'd like to see some taking advantage of the zero g nature, you know the payload after a checkpoint going completely vertical and having to fight "up and down" (i mean, you could of course orient yourself whatever way you want, but still). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6XjoGlGzvA Tom Guycot fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Jun 7, 2018 |

Subnautica is on sale on Steam for $19.99. I just watched the gameplay trailer and I literally cannot imagine putting on my loving VR headset to play that poo poo. The ocean is terrifying to me, this seems unbelievably terrifying.

All I hear about Subnautica is how horribly optimized the pancake version is. How badly does this come across to VR because I feel like floating around in endless blue with hitching would be an express ticket to Chundertown.

You know, I wonder if revive will even be necessary. It's not coming out until 2019, openXR is coming out this year, and oculus have said they want to move to openXR as the main sdk, with OVR being legacy support. I don't know if they're too far along in development, or if it will be easy to switch over, but it seems there a good chance it will be running openXR. If thats the case even though its only sold on the oculus store it should run on anything that supports openXR. Even if they went out of their way to put in a headset ID check, theres no reason to think that won't be easily bypassed by spoofing the ID, like it has been with the stuff on steam that had a vive ID check. I'm not even convinced they would bother putting in an ID check, knowing how easy it would be to bypass while generating PR flak. I think the most realistic scenario, if it does indeed launch as an openXR game, is that its just simply made for the oculus touch controls, and might not map well to the vive wands (though openXR is supposed to have control mapping but who knows how it will work exactly.) All pure speculation, but I guess we'll get more hints at the future when openXR finally drops
