Mantis42 posted:How much does the lower refresh rate hurt the Quest? Someone warned me about it, otherwise I'm willing to pull the trigger on ordering one. I cannot tell the difference between my Quest's and my Rift's refresh rates. I'd probably tell the difference between it and the 144hz from the Index but 72 versus 90 is just such a small difference that I can't perceive it.

I can notice it. I think. When waving objects around in your face you can see less trails the lower the refresh is so the moving objects look a bit less smooth. It doesn't cause sim sickness and I don't feel like it's a hindrance to gameplay. 60hz definitely does though, when I've tried it.

Welp, guess I'm getting back into VR, slowly albeit. I just managed to pick up a Vive for £122 off ebay that is supposedly in "excellent condition" because the guy upgraded to a Vive Pro soon after. Of course that means it's just the headset and the cables/breakout box. I'm in no rush to get it up and running, so I'm going to wait until the Index Controllers come back in stock and pick up a pair of light houses at some point. Is there any point in getting the 2.0 light houses if I'm going to be using it in a fairly small area? How well does ReVive work these days? I had a Oculus CV1 a while back, so I have some stuff tied-up in that ecosystem.

You can't use 2.0 lighthouses on an OG Vive anyway, they're only compatible with the original ones. Revive works just fine for the vast majority of stuff, also.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I think realistically VR does most of what companies are trying to market AR for (training, design work, etc) a lot better and a lot cheaper. There's no need to fundamentally be in an existing room and build around it when you can just generate a virtual space in an empty room that's far more relevant to the task at hand. I'm not sure how VR would take over this sort of AR application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=habz0xdysoM

Right, it’s fun to beat those people and watch the world burn, but eventually it gets old having half the room on mute. In Pokerstars VR, if the room is quiet, I’ll mention it, and try to spark a conversation. If they still won’t talk I’ll bounce for another table. It’s that ingrained in the game for me

Someday. Beat SuperHot tonight. Really excellent overall. The story was kind of non-existent and I thought the middle of the game dragged a bit, but the last few sequences were all really great. Hijacking the plane in particular I thought was awesome and made me really excited for the potential of crazy action sequences in VR games going forward.

I'd love a real money VR Poker, but online gambling isn't legal where I'm at so that's probably not going to happen. I used to gamble online before they locked down the CC providers and made it a huge PITA to get money into or out of the system if you live in the US. It's probably still technically possible but it's not worth the effort to me.

Alright, but what does the thread think about the Odyssey+? It's cheaper than the Quest right now at $230 (!!) and seems like it has better specs? The OP barely mentions it though.

Its fine for the price. Tracking is acceptable, the headset itself is decent and while the controllers suck in general, they function. Biggest downside really is the controllers and how they feel. Tracking isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

I got one and can play every game recommended in here on it without any noticeable discomfort with the minor exception of holding stuff for a long time in Boneworks. The tracking isn't the best but it's functionally perfectly fine and the price is basically the perfect jumping on point for me at least. I'd go so far as to say I recommend it. The other setups are "better" but I dunno if they're like, $200-300 better. It has a nice screen, adjustable IPD, it's comfortable for the most part (Especially if you mod it a bit with a head strap). I love mine. Controllers are def. the weakspot. The grip buttons are badly placed, and the general ergonomics aren't good compared with more expensive sticks. When you notice where the tracking "stops" if you're anything like me it'll bug you a little, but the predictive movement is fine and you don't notice in during play basically ever.

Can you swap out the controllers at all or naw? I'm conflicted because two different webforums are recommending me two different headsets and telling me the other one is garbage.

No. Don’t get WMR, it’s barely better than PSVR which is the lowest tier VR platform. It yet trounced by all the other platforms quite significantly. If $200 is really all you can swing for the forseeable future ok? Otherwise spending more gets you a lot more.

Not sure if my last dc was due to me going from a steam vr game back to the Oculus menu, or what, though. I'll give my other ports a go then, didn't have much time to test it out. I'm also on a laptop so I don't have many ports to actually try. lol

rage-saq posted:No. Don’t get WMR, it’s barely better than PSVR which is the lowest tier VR platform. It yet trounced by all the other platforms quite significantly. For some people, yeah, its the price going to lure em in. WMR functions with caveats. Like, The controllers being butt. Beyond that the samsung is actually decent. Its also soooooo cheap to get a WMR headset. If you know nooooothing and have very little exp in headsets, its not that bad. You and I are spoiled children with hardware so yeah, I 100% agree any other VR is better in every possible way even a quest with link. And thats saying a lot because I hecking hate recommending a quest for pcvr but it IS just better than every WMR out there. I mean, the samsung is probably more comfortable out of the box though. Mantis42 posted:Can you swap out the controllers at all or naw? I'm conflicted because two different webforums are recommending me two different headsets and telling me the other one is garbage. Technically, Yes, But you'll spend VIVE+ Money doing it without getting the headset. Basically if you end up really liking VR, you'll upgrade and sell that thing to help fund it. Don't stress it. If you caaaan spend more, Rift S all day for sure. Or Index if you can slop down a cold G. I like WMR. At the sub 250 price point. Hell when the HP/Lenovo ones pop up for 150, that imo is a steal for new users with no budget. If you can honestly spend more though. It'd just recommend spending more. If its a matter of a month wait, just wait. If this is the tipping point though, and you just cant spend 400 because you can't see the value yet, but you can tip toe in for 250 or less? Yeah. WMR Is good. It'll show you value. ramble ramble all pcvr is decent ramble ramble depends on your budget ramble ramble Hellsau posted:there is nothing wrong with the dreamcast controllers I agree and will fight anyone who says otherwise.

It will always be nicer to have higher, but honestly I played for years on a DK2 that was only at 75hz and back then it felt buttery smooth with the only comparison being the DK1's ghosting 60hz. Honestly, thinking back just a few years, when the DK1 was blowing blowing peoples minds is crazy considering where things already are.

The National Geographic experience in the Quest has some nice photorealistic graphics, it shows some other games could be better, it's a question of budget/tech knowledge.
