How do you enable the thumbsticks? I've only been able to use the trackpad for moving in Pavlov.

I played Gun Club VR which is a port of a mobile game with a lot of micro transactions that they apparently stripped out for the VR release. It’s not as good as H3VR in terms of gun simulation or content, but while Anton is still pushing out new updates it’s a decent holdover with a long string of different target shooting challenges that let you unlock new guns and attachments. I like making very dumb tacticlol abominations, and Gun Club is pretty good for that.

I've put more time into Gun Club VR than H3 just because there's some actual game there. I appreciate the realism and detail in H3, but I really need objectives to keep my attention.

Man, Windlands 2 is hard. I died like a dozen times on the first boss alone. It's kinda ridiculous how difficult it was. Fly in, shoot a target or two, get completely obliterated, and repeat until you beat all 3 stages of the boss. I guess it is a good thing the game defaults to unlimited lives. Just keep respawning into the meat grinder.

I kinda wish there was a bit more to do in it but it has the zombie and ww2 levels included so its not too bad. The big payouts are on level ups rather than progression. I think it would suck with micro transactions. The other one they have available is SWAT Academy, and it was a toss up which one to buy. I thought the cardboard targets seemed more fitting to the shooting range theme so I ended up with Gun Club. Sorta makes me wish for 6DOF controller, but at the same time they did a pretty good job with it. It has gamepad support too, which I haven't tried. I can't see that being as fun though.

I guess the current model lines up better with the rest of the game respawning you at checkpoints with no penalty, but it means you can cheese it by bum rushing it over and over

In SweViver's amazing review video of the PiMax 5k+/8k he gets into SDE and image quality. To my eyes it seems like the upscaling of the 8k makes everything look objectively worse and the 5k+ is the headset to get. I guess if any amount of SDE makes you fly into a rage you would prefer the 8k, but the clarity present in the 5k wins out for me. For the unfamiliar, both 5k+ and 8k headsets accept a 1440p video signal, but the 8k upscales the signal to fit a 4k LED panel, while the 5k+ has native 1440p panels.

Yeah, the 8k just seems like a terrible compromise; feeding the displays with a non-native resolution is never going to work well. If for some reason you want to go for a Pimax it does seem like the 5k or the even more overpriced 8k X would be the ways to go.

I remember Linux from Linus Tech Tips making similar comments with a much earlier prototype.

It also sounds like Anton is working on an upcoming Meat of Action mode that will sort of be like a Metal Gear Solid lite using the new sosigs in the alpha branch. I've only seen a few Discord posts describing what he envisions, though. But the new sosigs are fun.

Jeez, even with a 1080ti a few games won't cap the display's framerate. Seems like a 2080 or 2080ti is gonna be the go-to for the Pimax 5k+/8k: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8iFOhC2j6I&t=1360s

Pretty promising stuff though, if the roll-out to backers goes forward smoothly it should turn out to be a lot better result to the whole ordeal than I'd been expecting. I reckon I'll stick with the 8k rather than switching to the 5K+. It'll probably have me shelling out for a next gen graphics card too at some point, sounds like my 1080 isn't going to cut it

I find it pretty hilarious that Pimax by all accounts did a lot of stuff better on this than HTC could manage on the Vive Pro. Apparently better microphone, less god rays, lighter, and much better tracking when only a single lighthouse is visible.

Zero VGS posted:What is that "Jingo" game supposed to be? Worms for nationalists? In case anyone was still wondering about this, it pretty much is first-person worms. limited movement points/time per round, all your guys share an ammo pool. there were some questionable accents and the fov was set too high, but you can physically move behind cover in roomscale if someone is shooting at you so that's kind of cool.

Its a bit weird really. A lot of the pics going around seem to show little sde difference between 5k+ and 8k. There's a couple that do but the 8k is all blurry from upscaling. Still nothing at all on it from PM themselves who I think have said they want to sell 8k to business. Choice seems clear but I still don't entirely get it

So now that I have a Rift and am having super fun times with my Steam library, I have to ask is there anything worth getting on the Rift store? I've got my freebies, those paint games (me), Robo Recall (super fun) and that squirrel platformer (also super fun). I don't mind keeping my library in Steam but if there is any exclusive I have to get I can give it a shot.

Echo Arena/Combat is probably the best multiplayer game in VR right now and free but Rift exclusive. OFC try Rec Room if you haven't yet.

Echo Arena and BoxVR are as well if you're into eithe those types of games. Thrill of the Fight is a really good boxing sim but it's steam early access only, although it can be run through the oculus dash.

I would say From Other Suns, Chronos are very solid, and while they got mixed reviews for various reasons, I thought Arktika.1 and Wilson's Heart were both really enjoyable. Edge of nowhere was good, Brass Tactics seems to get some love, and I think i'd always worth checking out when they're having sales (OC5 is next week and theres a possibility of a sale around then as well). I mean, I prefer getting everything from there anyways so my VR stuff is in one place, but if you can get something cheaper there, no reason not to.

 AIRHORN KNUCKLES INFO BOYS https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1508356684 edit: So its not a ton of new info, they are producing EV3, and it sounds like it might be the final dev kit before release since all of the changes are fairly minor.

I did, and technically it did work, but the Monoculus has such a blurry/smearing display I decided to return it to Walmart. It did track my head and hand positions (very slight latency but not enough to be bothersome, and it had extremely high accuracy, no jerking around or anything) in the room for the Vive Home or whatever it's called, with little to no configuration. The app is developed by a single guy so you're at his mercy. It only cost me $30 for a Kinect 2.0 and 15 minutes to mod it to work on Windows, so I'll hang on to it for later when I decide to gently caress around with VR Chat full body tracking or something.
