Yeah it’s tough too, because eye tracking is required for foveated rendering, but it’s also easy to monetize/weaponize against the user.

Eye tracking, facial expression tracking, and heart rate monitoring... I can hear Zuckerberg fapping from all the way over here.

Seriously though, the Vive Pro Eye has been out a while, there's basically nothing that actually uses the eye tracking right? I don't think know many enterprise applications were made to support it and I definitely don't think anyone got foveated rendering to work.

Imagine a horror game that can pick up on how scared you are or aren't based on that data and focus on the things that scare you the most until you're practically pissing yourself.

I should probably have brought this up earlier but Amazon has been fucky with every single VR headset release that I've paid attention to. I don't know what it is but it's consistent

The wiimote was a pointer/camera, so naturally you'd point at the things you look at.

For folks in the US, best buy is still showing an oct 13th shipping guarantee. i don't know if its worth trying to cancel and order somewhere else or anything though.

From talking to my Oculus guy it seems the production lines are pretty back up for whatever reason so they could be hitting some 11th hour holdups. No word when the dec unit might show up, but I’m not about to go cause trouble for a free toy.

I have it installed but never played it. I don't like competitive games with random folks, but thought the goon discord was for people that wanted to play multi-player vr games. I realized that the goon discord was for folk more antisocial than the main site. It would be nice to have an actual goon group for people that want to actually play together.
It's Halloween season, so I'm getting my flat-screen friends to plat phasmophobia. I would like to play it with all vr folk.

I tried to start a goon group but got nowhere.

New people ordering from Oculus have a later estimate. If you do it now, you can see the dates for different countries:

Spain


Uk


USA


etc. This is the 64GB model.

Which btw, Dead Walking S&S Quest version will clock in 12gb, so maybe the 64gb I ordered will feel small soon enough :/

Only reason I haven't preordered is because I have a $10 coupon at the Epic Store i might be able to use once its out (can't use on pre-orders).

But god drat it this is all I'm looking forward to this weekend please don't be poo poo.

Also it appears a lot of the issues stem from the Origin only version. No idea if the Steam launch (which iirc just opens Origin for EA games) will fare any better.

The reviews have been extremely positive and bugs can hopefully get patched. EA won’t let the game remain buggy for long, if it even is as bad as ars is claiming.

On the other hand, Polygon were extremely happy with it, and compared the VR implementation extremely favourably as compared to Elite, DCS and IL:2.

Is there any VR game or even a tech demo i can try that have implemented DLSS? I'm really interested in how well that piece of tech would work in practice, especially in VR where all the flaws of checkerboard rendering would be extra visible.
