Evidently they help with barnacles too. HL: Alyx is really just a treatise on the importance of OSHA compliance. veni veni veni posted:Cool. Like, I noticed The Walking Dead S&S is planned for release on Quest, but it seems like something like that would look way better on a PC, so buy something like that there i'd imagine. Right? At this point I think so. Part of the reason Alyx kicks so much rear end is that it looks incredible. I think it really helps suck me into the world. Is Boneworks worth buying? I want another full fat single player game but not always in the mood to play scary-rear end Half Life, as great as it is. AndrewP fucked around with this message at 15:22 on May 20, 2020 |

I need a vr billiards game where it can height-detect my dining room table so I can lean on it like a real pool table. This quarantine's got me fiending for a game like crazy.

It does not have the story or graphical fidelity of Alyx, BUT it does have working melee weapons, a stand-in for headcrabs, and is clearly inspired by Half-Life and Portal. The gunplay is also really, really good. Boneworks is a very unsettling game. Its rarely outright scary, but it definitely gives the "something is wrong here" vibe like Portal did.

There are a few 'obvious' real life activities that should be done in VR. Table Tennis (we have it already), billiards, painting, drumming.

For painting I think Tilt Brush is as close as you're going to get; the lack of a physical surface to paint against really limits the ability to do 2D painting in VR. Drumming in Soundstage VR felt pretty good, but that's hard to get running since the dev removed it from Steam.

veni veni veni posted:Say you have a Quest, and a game you want is released for PCVR as well as Quest. Is it preferable to buy the PC version and run it there via the link, or the quest version for portability? I am assuming with some more intense games it's going to be better running off the PC? One thing to keep in mind if the game is on both platforms is to check if it features cross-buy https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/section/2335732183153590/ Basically take say, 'The Climb', if you buy it on the quest store, or the oculus store on PC, you can install the PC version on your computer and the quest version instead of just choosing either or. They also started supporting cross saves, I don't know how many games support that yet, but if they do you could play the PC version, and then pick up where you were on the quest version if you aren't home or whatever.

Thanks for all of the info, guys. Think I'm probably leaning towards getting a decent PC and starting with a Quest (once I can actually scrape one up for MSRP) since it seems capable of so much more than I was aware of. Then maybe going for something more high end down the road when there are more options or better deals. Just curious though. Realistically, how much difference is there between playing Something like HL:A on an index vs a Quest? Is is like, huge or are you just mostly looking at some slightly better resolution and control options? I guess the only thing that might still sway me towards an index would be that having a PSVR I just want a clearer picture so bad. I can't stand the muddiness, and I'm worried that it feeling to too similar to PSVR would be the only downside of going with a Quest.

I rma'ed my index controllers Saturday, and they came in today. I was expecting another week. Too bad I had to go to work after they arrived. I Also got some new mastering headphones in the mail as well. Need to do a side by side with the index speakers.

That guy is faaar from the worst Youtuber I've seen and if the stuff he said about Apple trying to track down his source is true then godspeed nasally nerd, spoil all their stupid poo poo. Sounds like another accessory to the iPhone like the watch that only make sense to people heavily invested in their ecosystem. The first wave of commercial AR is set to be pretty lame.

I haven't done a comparison of the two, never tried an Index, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. But I'll tell you this - I use a Quest with Link and I find myself wishing my PC had more horsepower, rather than wanting an Index. The Quest/Rift S display is actually pretty good, and you can potentially supersample it further if you get a good enough graphics card. With that said, I do envy the FOV of the Index. The Link adds some compression but evidently Carmack wants to try to upgrade it to use the full USB 3.1 bandwidth, so even that may get better.

The Quest/Rift S display is actually pretty good, and you can potentially supersample it further if you get a good enough graphics card. With that said, I do envy the FOV of the Index. I got an Index and the increased FOV is almost entirely vertical, which was kinda disappointing. I really would have preferred a wider FOV instead of a taller FOV. I was also disappointed by the lenses, they do not handle high contrast scenes well. I get big blotchy bright blurs around the perimeter of my view, it's more distracting than any god rays I've gotten on other headsets. Getting the Index really made me appreciate what an amazing value the S is at $400. It stacks up really well against a $1000 headset, I find the visual clarity very similar and really the only big dings against the S are the poor audio and no IPD adjustment. But you can fix the audio for about $30, and I have a very average IPD. I probably would have returned the Index and just stuck with the S if I was spending my own money, but my company bought me the Index for development.

I figured it was too much bluetooth. Just get a set of Koss Portapro or KSC75 headphones and a 3d printed mount. I'm using the KSC75s and they sound great, basically the same driver as the original Rift had. Also, with my mount I can place them just over my ear but not touching which is very nice. A friend of mine printed my mount for me, but you can find them a lot of places. Here's one I found on Etsy for $10: https://www.etsy.com/listing/763073...ASABEgLcqfD_BwE  And the headphones are $14 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable-Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K
