The devs with knuckles don't know anything more about when/how they will release than anyone else.

BonoMan posted:WMR Samsung Odyssey headset is $299. Pretty big drop. Would you guys recommend this? The reviews I've read seem decent. I don't have a VR headset and I've been waiting for something in my price range. I mainly just want to screw around in some VR games on Steam.

I'm really enjoying echo combat. I never got into arena but combat is a lot of fun. There is something about that locomotion system that is just so natural and physical. The change to 4v4 has made a big difference from the beta in terms of keeping the action up. Its well worth checking out imo.

The development community only just (relatively speaking) got the EV3's. The news is the existing devkits are being worked to death by a couple thousand developers stress-testing the poo poo out of them with everyday use to see if the EV2's flaws have been fixed, and to make sure none of the changes have broken anything that wasn't before. There was almost zero chance of them coming out before early 2019, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a release date around the June/July mark. Especially if that leaked headset is any further along.

I mainly just want to screw around in some VR games on Steam. The new Odyssey+ is out and is probably "the" WMR headset to get. It's the one that's $300 for Black Friday (down from MSRP of $500) and that's the one you want. It has an anti-SDE filter and inbuilt Bluetooth for slightly improved controller tracking. I head bad things about its comfort, but I give it a month until several third party VR face covers are released. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1437424-REG/samsung_xe800zba_hc1us_hmd_odyssey_windows_mixed.html https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/s...xkfynblws9fp300 (In-Store only) I would bet Microsoft will have other WMR headsets for cheaper, probably in the $150-200 range. I bought my Lenovo Explorer last November, so I've officially had it for a year. I would recommend it at the $150-200 price point easily.

The Alien Isolation VR mod was updated again, and now supports the Touch controllers. It's very basic support and is functionally similar to a gamepad (no 1:1 hand mapping and such), but it's a first step. If/when the dev adds the ability to crouch by physically crouching, I'll give it a serious go. It's hard for me to play a VR game where crouching is on a button. I'm fine with that in Hitman and such, but that muscle memory slips away as soon as I put on a headset.

Its one of those games I really wanna play but If something like that exists now It'll sour me on it forever.

The change to 4v4 has made a big difference from the beta in terms of keeping the action up. Its well worth checking out imo. It's super good. What put it over the top for me is the new map, Dyson. I liked the other maps alright, but they felt pretty straightforward to me and a lot of the games felt a little samey. Dyson is half super open and half narrow tunnels and you get a lot of games where you'll switch loadouts mid match to adapt to what the other team is doing. It's incredibly fun and allows you to play to your strengths no matter what loadout or playstyle you like. I sincerely believe that Dyson could be Echo Combat's Blood Gulch or dust2. If you haven't checked it out yet you're really missing out. It's free to try out the movement and guns to see if you like it and the game is only $10.

I love dyson, but holy goddamn gently caress do I hate the other capture point map. Something about the point layout seems to make it 100% impossible to recover the point once the enemy team bunkers down. Every single match I've played on that map has ended in 2-0 with one team almost never capping the point at all.

The contrast between open space and closed is really cool. Ran into a bug in payload a couple of times last night where the payload got stuck and the game just had to time out. I really like how echo vr handles the social aspect with the post match float around and gg / shittalk. People generally seem to be pretty chill so far  .

The devs are very responsive to people trolling or being assholes if you report them, and the amount of interaction you get in the game and in the lobby means that it feels very present and to some degree I think it helps tamp down peoples' worse impulses. That payload bug is really annoying though lol I hope they fix it soon, that and balance around the stun field. It's waaaay too good at the moment.

That said, I've never had to recenter mine. Wmr is great, only issue is that you can't put the controller close to your face.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Nope. It has no external frame of reference like the Oculus and Vive, so what you get is what you get. Yes it does, it uses the cameras to track the actual space you're in, and it works fine unless you're trapped in a deep, dark well. I've never had to recenter anything in the year I've had it. The controllers are a whole other thing, and no they're not nearly as good, but they're not terrible either.

Yeah, WMR's head tracking was only a problem for me if I was crouching and looking at the floor, like in a room escape game or something. Otherwise, the head tracking was just fine, including when sitting at my desk (cockpit and racing sims).

The only one I've tried is Whirligig with some of those 360 music videos, and it seemed to work alright but it just has your directories and such and not much of a UI. I only had like 3 videos so it wasn't an issue, but if you had a bunch I could see it not being ideal. Where do you guys even get these movies? Are any of them actually good our do they all just feel like a warped panorama video, because that's all it seemed like in that U2 video and the other 2 random ones I tried.

As far as I can recall neither Vive nor Oculus ever charged money for dev versions that were comparable to the CVs. The Oculus dev kits that they did sell were so far below spec compared to the release models that it doesn't make sense to compare their prices.

The general articles on it seem to suggest that developers just signed up and got sent them as they were available.

RotW Chat: How many sets of traps are there for the Bolt Action guy? I've done 4 sets so far. Also is there any tips on how to set them? I tend to stand near the hinge and try and lower both sides at the same time, but they'll keep snapping shut and attracting sosigs.

The last case he has should spawn an AWM - at least, that's the last case of his that I have, and I haven't seen any other sets of traps.

When you make a hundred of an item it costs far more to make each one then when you make 100 thousand.

I wonder if that 4th box is a permanent AWM as that's what spawned in mine too. I found a good way to cheese meat cores: Go to the Missile Silo bar, complete his quest (it's easy), and then attract a bunch of sosisgs by firing out a window. The path they take to the bar is narrow and makes an easy killing funnel. It's a great setup since the unlock is a shotgun and you have the ammo station right inside.

I have been playing The Well on the Go lately, and its a pretty great RPG done by the same studio as Left 4 Dead. I think I am near the end of it though. Would be neat if they did a roguelike out of it to add more gameplay. Hoping more stuff comes out like that when the Quest gets launched. At least all the titles I have been buying on sale have been less than $10
