I have to restart my pc often because it says the sensors are tracking poorly. Unplug the sensor and plug it back in. Heck, move ports. Wont hurt anything and you wont have to reboot most likely. This happened to me all the time on the lovely inateck or w/e brand card.

So like, I'm not an expert, but what's the likelyhood of someone hacking/modding Ace Combat 7 on PC to work with the Oculus Rift for all the missions before the PSVR exclusivity clocks out in 2020? It's a cockpit game and it runs on the Unreal engine apparently, so I don't think it'd be that hard...

Holy poo poo Beatsaber is good. I've never liked rhythm games so I wasn't expecting much but it's amazing. The main flaw is that there are so few tracks without mods and the quality of the fan made ones can be uneven. But it's probably in my top 3 favorite VR games even after just 1 day.

I think the consistent quality of the built-in tracks are a huge part of why Beat Saber caught on big when Soundboxing didn't. Getting into Beat Saber is so much easier that by the time you're looking for modded tracks, you're hooked and ready to tolerate some rough experiences.

My first defining VR Moment© was the Audioshield demo at a Microsoft store, but I can't remember what song it was or even what it sounded like. But I remember the first time I saw a YouTube video of Beat Saber before release and I knew right then it was a killer app. (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV1sw4lfwFw)

Ace combat vr would *make* me buy a hotas and cockpit type thing just for it. I'm already considering buying a racing setup and upgrading my computer for project cars 2. loving humble monthly, giving me the exact game I've been avoiding for budgetary reasons. Finally got around to using smooth walking in rec room paintball, first round made a small child call me a "pussy bitch dick" and attempt to flick me off a lot. A++ would recommend. It makes the game a little too easy against people using teleport movement.

it's funny because the rec room forums are up in arms about the huge advantage teleport players have on smooth movement. I agree with you though for the most part - teleport has the advantage in very close quarters and that's it.

As a rec room beginner, good teleport players will wreck you and you wont know why and it will seem unfair, but as you improve, you realize teleport players have little to no advantage and all the reddit griping stops making sense

I haven't come across a player good enough with teleport that they could get the drop on me since I can see where they are going before they actually move there. Smooth movement though, I can dodge without worrying about slamming my head into a wall, then jump on top of some tires in less than 3 seconds and Rambo my way through people. I ended up standing in place for 4 hours and now my feet hurt.

There are really good teleport players out there who have the cooldown timing seared into their brains, and can make their next move so quick you really cant see it. They are few and far between however, and most teleport people hugely telegraph their next move.

There is a simracing thread here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3763524 You generally have a few options for cockpits ranging from simple and cheap to big and expensive: Some recommended products  Wheel Stand Pro, a temporary fold-away solution.   Fanatec CSL Seat and Playseat Evolution, both simple seats with wheel/pedal mount and still (somewhat) moveable.  Obutto Ozono, a full triple screen solution including keyboard & mouse tray. You can also make them out of PVC pipe, 8020 aluminum, wood, and many other things. If you have the ability, time and tools, making your own is very rewarding and will give you exactly what you want, plus you can grow and expand it: Mine started as a gaming chair with a driving force gt wheel and pedal set  Then evolved to a Saturn L200 seat with a Thrustmaster T300RS wheel and pedal set, a buttkicker, integrated power and sound and some handy wheels on the back and a grab handle on the front  I for whatever reason dont have a picture of its current iteration, but the seat has been swapped for a Ford Focus RS seat, I still have the T300RS wheel, but I replaced the pedals with a Fanatec CSL Elite loadcell, and the center post mounting of the wheel pedestal has been removed and in its place is a side mount setup that also now holds my HOTAS for Elite Dangerous and my button box for iracing.

I ordered my spouse a set of prescription Oculus lenses from VR Optician, and she loves them. She said it's far more comfortable than wearing her glasses in the Rift, and the lenses were perfectly clear. It was easily worth the 75 bucks, for anybody wondering about that site.

Just got my rift today and was looking at picking up GORN. Are the physics in the itch.io prototype representative of the steam version? I'm finding myself having to swing extremely hard in order to do any kind of damage and I'm afraid I'm going to GORN the poo poo out of my monitor or cat.

Yeah, I love GORN but you really do need a tall chair and strong guardian borders awareness to make sure you don't punch out your monitor. It's fun as gently caress and Blade & Sworcery is even more fun.

GORN tip - place your cat in front of your monitor so you cushion the blow on the more important and more fragile object.

Okay fine, better plan - put the Rift on your cat, make them play GORN while you stand in front of the monitor and guard it from the whirlwind of claws. You can even watch the mirror on your monitor!

I’m looking to play with I-have-too-much-money tech to celebrate (probably) getting a rare and significant bonus. I’m a dev, so probably not just for games. For a start, I’m looking at a Perception Neuron (...Pro?). Maybe a hi5 glove (how well do they work together, if anyone knows)? Any suggestions? I prefer to stick with Rift over Vive.

Figured out what the issue is with this Odyssey+: the mura's there but the moire pattern is what really stands out. Maybe it's a side effect of the diffusion filter. Overall though I'm much happier with the headset than I was initially now I've gotten used to coping with the sweet spot and spent a bit more time with it. Scenes with any kind of detail or action obscure the flaws and having no SDE is far more immersive that I thought it would be. I docked at a station in Elite and as I got close to the mailbox I realised that whole part of the station looked super loving real. There just aren't a lot of cues that what you're looking at isn't real when you take SDE away from those sorts of games. Alien Isolation was loving horrific, the station environment looked really real with normal familiar objects and whatnot lying around like any other hospital or airport but also a (much too well animated) nightmare trundling about

If you're going to be developing games or software, go for the lowest common denominator (at least, with that kind of tech); A Vive, a trio of Trackers for your feet and hip, and wait for the Knuckle controllers. Don't go for the stuff that literally almost no-one will have in their setup.

Trip Report for The Wizards: The Wizards is a VR first-person shooter with one of the best menu systems I’ve ever seen. Released in the first half of 2017, The Wizards nevertheless has an almost 100% VR friendly menu system. It’s baffling that more games haven’t copied it. First off, what few traditional menus it does have all use a laser pointer to select items. Something every VR game should do if they can’t find a way to duplicate The Wizards success at embedding the menus into the game world. The Wizards key distinguishing feature is the very forgiving and intuitive way the player selects their weapon. The player makes gestures with their hand trackers, and that casts a spell that spawns a weapon that can be used fewer times than there are enemies in most fights. This ensures that players get to interact with the spell casting mechanic frequently and rewards manual dexterity as well as more traditional first-person shooter play styles. Content: The single player campaign takes you through several stages each of which has multiple replayable levels with at least a few secrets hidden each and a score challenge mechanic. Unfortunately, the levels are largely linear, and fights lock the player in the area until you’ve killed everything arena style. The areas are all large enough to permit a range of approaches and a good amount of movement, but keeping the player penned in works against the immersion that every other element of the game builds. So far, I haven't encountered a level that takes more than 15 minutes to play through (and probably less, I haven't been tracking my time very closely). For weapons, the player has their choice of six intuitive spells each with their own mechanics to play with. Arguably a seventh spell allows players to pull items to their hand so they can pick it up. Unfortunately, this is one of the few rough spots in the game as it has a hard time identifying what you are pointing at so it often takes several attempts to pick things up and there’s rarely a reason to do so outside the player’s home area. Locomotion: Movement is primarily teleportation based and leans heavily into the conceit of casting spells with it being justified as an actual teleportation spell. The basic mechanics of teleportation are the same as most games. The implementation is very smooth which is good because large parts of the levels can only be reached by teleporting due to an abundance of sheer cliffs which means even though the game has a smooth locomotion option, you won’t be using it much. Like the rest of the user interface, turning with the touchpad is one of the smoothest implementations I’ve seen and is hands down the easiest to use. The one rough area with locomotion is that the game does not handle edges well, it tended to freak out or crash when I was looking down edges towards inaccessible areas. Menus: The vast majority of the game menus are fully 3D and embedded into the usual mechanics of the world. The player selects the (repeatable) level they desire by picking up figurine from the map that represents the stage they want to play and then selecting one of several rings that spawn to indicate the level in that stage. It’s very similar to a drop-down menu, but delightfully redesigned for both VR ergonomics and to immerse the player in the world. Almost all the other player and system menus work similarly. Bottom Line: One of the best interfaces for VR I’ve ever seen is attached to an otherwise straightforward shooter. Well worth the purchase just to see gesture recognition implemented well.
