Onward is still great. I booted up Pavlov last night and it was kinda meh. Too chaotic, hard to aim. I think the slow pace of Onward works to VRs strengths.

I'm getting quite a bit of chromatic aberration around the FOV periphery in my Odyssey and there are rather distracting orange/purple borders. Obviously such issues are inevitable with these lenses but I remember reading that this is supposedly corrected for in software. Is it configurable somewhere, or is it up for the devs to implement it individually?Jenny Agutter posted:lmao my girlfriend worked at a restaurant and thinks people who enjoy that type of game are brain damaged (I actually like the in-genre space ice-cream truck game)  E: FreelanceSocialist posted:Onward is 40% off at the moment. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Sep 24, 2018 |

Looks like it was announced a few days ago, but my Firefox browser wanted me to know that the Firefox Reality browser is available for Viveport, Oculus Go, and Daydream at this link: https://mixedreality.mozilla.org/firefox-reality video of it in action here: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/go/2208418715853974/

What should I be thinking about if I wanted to design a beat map for BeatSaber? I had a couple ideas for segments for a particular track I love but don’t know the first thing about what makes a good course.

I totally never check on the discord, but I'd love to get a goon group/tourney for Creed: Rise to Glory going when it launches tomorrow. My Steam community name is Taintrunner so feel free to add me there and shoot me a message in chat, or DM me through the VR Goons discord. I recently cleared out most of the room in my home office for having space to punch things in VR, so I feel a lot more comfortable playing more physical games like Creed and GORN.

I had a couple ideas for segments for a particular track I love but don’t know the first thing about what makes a good course. Check pretty much everything that Rustic makes, he has straightforward mappings that balance a good amount of notes, the songs beat, and good movement around the platform. They work great for your traditional two saber modes as well as my favorite Darth Maul mode. Here are my favorites of his from my YouTube channel that shows how they make you move around the platform. Believer by Imagine Dragons https://youth.be/XVhj0yRoLhw Gravity by Tut Tut Child https://youtu.be/b3J4tKalrZ0 Feel Invincible by Skillet https://youtu.be/7pkS2cxny0s He also did an amazing collaboration with BennyDaBeast and GreatYazer for “We Built This City” which you should check out. For me, I think the things that promote movement across the platform in the best ways are restrained usage of walls along with a judicious block count. If you throw too many blocks at people they just stand still and wail away on them instead of getting into a groove and following along the map.

I had a couple ideas for segments for a particular track I love but don’t know the first thing about what makes a good course. As someone working on one, myself, try not to go overboard on notes/walls. Don't try to map literally every beat, either, give the player a small chance to recover from any intense sections. Walls are great, just don't put notes immediately after them where the player can't see them until IMMEDIATELY after the wall ends. Try not to place too many successive notes in front of the player's face, and what you do place make them either dots or a predictable pattern, like upswing-downswing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYbDcwgr_cI&t=186s This is kinda what I mean, sure it makes sense, you're "clapping" your hands, but still! This same map goes overboard on the wall size in my opinion by making you go ALL the way left/right, as in edge of your play area left/right. That's probably just a me problem though. Also don't hide mines in the walls. That's lovely.

I gotta say I wasn't expecting much because I figured it was a licensed game cash in, but after seeing gameplay and reading about it it DOES look really good. Does it have the option other boxing games have where you can grip the controllers with the tops facing in?

Thanks for the BeatSaber tips. This'll probably be a long term project when I'm bored since I can't actually PLAY Beat Saber for another few weeks, probably, but I've still got this loving song stuck in my head and I love the idea of doing a mobile (martial arts-y?) beat saber dance to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHQa1SA3EtI Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Sep 25, 2018 |

Tom Guycot posted:Why would you want to hold them backwards? This is on me, I'm really bad at explaining stuff sometimes, so here's a little more info with help from Thrill of the Fight:  This is the default grip, the tops face forward and your index fingers rest on the trigger.  This what I was asking about : the Turn In grip, the tops face in toward each other, your thumb rests on the trigger. This is my preferred grip, I use it for this game and in Knockout League, and find it more comfortable than the default.  I haven't tried this grip, the Turn Out grip. It seems like you kind of hold the controllers upside down facing each other, the trigger rests between your middle and ring fingers?

That seems like it would be weird and uncomfortable to hold the controller how its not intended to be held.

That's what I thought before I tried it in KO League, but I found it to feel more natural for some reason. Won't be a deal breaker if it's not an option in Creed, of course.

Hahaha. I just saw some gameplay footage of Creed where you participate in a ‘training montage’ to music, which essentially consists of quick 5 second minigames. That’s hilarious and brilliant.

Surprise Giraffe posted:Got Jet Island and played an hour odd at the weekend. Movements really fun: rocket skiing with spiderman grapple/swinging, a bit like motion-controlling the prawn in subnautica. Takes a bit of getting used to, I needed to be careful where I aimed to avoid accidentally tethering to a stop and there's got to be a better way to climb mountains than how I've been doing it. Put just over an hour and a half into it and it's a real nice kick back and glide around game. Graphically it's not the most appealing game - part of me thinks that they should've gone a lot more minimalistic with the texture work as a lot of them seem oversized and low quality, but there's no denying that the weird abstract landscape of plains, flying island, massive ramps and huge bowl-like islands can be a joy to look at sometimes. The sense of speed is incredible and soaring around with your jet thrusters feels very satisfying. The grappling hook takes a while to get used to but I very much appreciate the fact you can yank down to slingshot yourself forwards and you can pull some excellent recoveries and manuvers off with a little practise. I was surprised to see that there was a reason for exploring the island. You can pick up fuel and thruster power upgrades by shooting down big flying drones and there's weird radio tower structures that have bosses that you need to beat, but really most of my time is just spent ramping around. It reminds me a lot of skating in Tribes 2 only the scale that VR gives really makes it feel special. For £15 I'd say it's probably a little too steep for most unless you really like futzing around and the sensation of launching through the sky really appeals to you (It does for me), but maybe it's worth a try and a refund if it doesn't appeal. From what I can tell it was made by one dude on a very, very small budget so I'm happy to punt some money their way. It's really a game that benefits a lot from listening to your own music, too. Not gonna lie, I dusted off this little number: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLbE05B5W6A And that hour and a half melted away. I'll probably make a video about it soon showing off some of the gameplay. There was a "game" (More like a proof of concept, really) called Throttle Powah that was very much in the same vein only with wheels instead of a hoverboard and no ability to thrust/grapple around, but it did have a "Press this button to untether the camera" sort of button that meant if you were moving at an angle, your view would reflect it - VR sickness in moments, but something I'd like to have seen as a "Try this if you dare" feature in Jet Island. Doing loops and sliding along hills would be so much more intense that way. Songbearer fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Sep 25, 2018 |

Will they come with their own motion controls or are they meant to be used with steamvr (or oculus?)? The Pimax are not out yet but should be shipping in the next 30 days... and that's just to fulfill backer orders, general availability is probably further off. The clarity is, by all accounts, leagues better than anythig else you can buy today, like Rift, Vive Pro, etc. Both in that it has a much wider viewing angle, and even with the image stretched out wider, it has much better resolution, and much better subpixel resolution (i.e. the Rift/Vive have pentile OLED, while the Pimax 5K+ is RGB stripe). As far as "deluxe", people are saying they are comfy and lighter than other headsets, although they don't have the strongest build quality in the world (plastic is a little thin to get them that lightweight, so try not to headbutt the wall). The Pimax as of now will need Vive base stations (lighthouse) to track the headset, and can use Vive wand controllers. It is literally cheaper to buy a new complete Vive kit than it is to buy two Vive wands and 2 Base Stations on their own, because HTC. Pimax is making their own base stations and "Knuckles"-like controller, but these at least several months further down the road (kind of like how Oculus Rift got Touch controllers 8 months after the headset launched). Cojawfee posted:https://imgur.com/a/hWLEKlu That looks amazing, more like a projector shot against a wall than a VR screen. Is that the 8K or the 5K+? By all accounts the 5K+ looks strictly better. Some people are theorizing that the 8K is some kind of pentile instead of stripe, so the subpixel counts are actually similar.

Has anyone here tried the Gear VR lens swap mod on their Vive/Vive Pro? I’m really enjoying the Vive Pro, but if I could lessen the god rays and enlarge the “sweet spot,” it would be such a better experience. From what I’ve read, that’s essentially what the Gear VR lenses would do. The videos and images I’ve seen show a dramatically better view, but of course that leaves me wondering what the catch is. It seems suspicious that putting lenses from a $100 headset into one that costs 7-8 times that makes such a big improvement. Apparently it introduces some barrel distortion (which can be fixed with a little file editing) and some people have reported they have to use the Vive headset adjustment to move the lenses further away from their eyes. I’ve had it a week, and I’m already considering modding my headset. I feel like this is going to become a very expensive hobby for me.
