Locomotion is fun to play with but also intimidating  Here's what I've got so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo3eGTeRnMk Trying to get the guns feeling 100% right, and then I can work on AI behaviors and building shoot-em-up levels. Today I updated the clips to change color to red when empty, and improved the handling so you can toss clips between your hands or toss them from one hand into a gun. Just trying to sort the bug where they don't always align as they should :|

Just tried out Squadrons on the Quest 2, both via the official Link cable and Virtual Desktop, and I finally got the out of cockpit stuttering everyone has been experiencing. Otherwise looks great, but is pretty much unplayable until they get that fixed. That said, I know now for certain that it works flawlessly on my Rift S. This whole time I've been secretly worried my vision or something had gone to poo poo somehow. No idea why it seemingly works great for some and not at all for others on similar setups. Hopefully they can get that fixed soon, because it is an absolute blast in VR.

My friend just got a quest 2 and the link works fine via the Oculus App, but he can't get steam VR to run/steam won't recognize his headset. Just asking for him if there is some part of the setup he could have missed or some way to troubleshoot it. He says steam VR just launches in desktop/flat screen mode and chose "launch in Steam VR" doesn't help.

Look into 'The mages tale' it's in the bards tale world, about 10 hours or more long, great visuals, and really emphasizes the dungeon exploration aspects with traps and secrets within secrets. No melee combat but you get to create spells with lots of different effects.

Closest I've seen to a classic light game is 'arctika.1' it's a shooter with lots of guns and upgrades, but no free movement you teleport around to set locations in a room so it forces you to really duck and use cover and focus on shooting like a light gun Game. It's also by the studio that did the Metro games so it looks fantastic.

Turning off the display off and back on by pressing the power button, then resuming Link seems to reset the orientation every time. I'll update the post.

That would be BattleGroup VR I'm fairly sure https://store.steampowered.com/app/1178780/BattleGroupVR/ It got mentioned earlier in the thread and it looks pretty interesting. I've not bought it myself as I'm generally pretty wary of getting anything in early access.

Played a bunch of Acron:Attack of the Squirrels tonight with a group of family. We had a blast. Being the tree and picking up those little booger squirrels and launching them off the map is excellent.

Got my Quest 2 today and what an experience. I feel like all my childhood dreams have been accomplished. This is my first headset since the DK2 and I've only briefly tried out other more modern ones. The increased resolution makes it so much better of an experience. Holy poo poo Squadron is next level amazing. I've got it running just fine wirelessly over the virtual desktop since my link cable won't be in for a while. Glad I am not experiencing the problems others are. Hell I even played Wasteland 3 on the virtual desktop with an xbox controller and it was great. I didn't expect that at all. I am going to have to get the elite strap because the battery life is not nearly enough. If you have it plugged in by the link cable does that also charge it or at least slow it down enough it doesn't drain as fast? Could I just plug the link cable into the charger and use it as a long charging cable while I actually link over wireless, does it work that way?

I'm not shocked, I've been told to organise a Quest 2 and a bunch of accessories for my father in law for his Christmas present, pretty much just from a little exposure to VR through me & my Quest 1. Seeing all these devs talk about the massive influx of sales/users is a very promising sign for the future, and really should light a fire under Apple/Samsung or whoever to produce their own standalone headsets to try and break Facebook's monopoly on the market

Yeah Quest 2 is amazing. Feels like a paradigm shift forward IMO. How can I tell if my router is good enough for wireless virtual desktop? I’m playing and things are mostly fine except for a moment here and there (which is nauseating). Maybe that’s the best it gets? Or is there some info I can look at to judge performance? I’m setup on 5ghz and AC, but it’s the stock modem+router my ISP gave me.

Apple's not the likely contender, as they seem intent on aiming for AR technology rather than VR to keep with the hip social marketing vibe. Samsung's been pretty drat mum about something VR-ish, but it looks to be another PC headset as far as their design patents infer. Sony could hypothetically make a standalone media headset that just happens to hook up to your PS5 (as well as maybe your PC) and absolutely gut Oculus' market share by getting a foot in the door with the professional space that Facebook wishes they could get their fingers into. They have experience with all the basic elements (standalone gaming hardware and VR, mobile devices, software, etc), it's a question of seeing what they wind up putting together. Keep in mind that doing anything similar to the Oculus Quest would've likely started the moment the Quest itself was announced at the earliest, and that was only 18-odd months ago. Anything new from Samsung or Apple would likely be barely out of design and into early prototyping around now. At least one competitor is undoubtedly coming, but the Quest is such a paradigm-shift in the hardware that it's probably not gonna be seen until at least mid/late next year.

Professor Wayne posted:I tried it, but didn't get far. I hated the time limit. It bugged me at first, but it serves a purpose (as does the stamina meter which people complain about as well). It's just another resource to manage and becomes a non-factor once you start planning your runs. You don't have to loot every cupboard every time you enter a map. Like most immersive sims it's easy to bounce off of initially and becomes far easier once you start understanding it's mechanics. e: another tip, always reload from save after you die. I don't know why they let you do the MMORPG thing and loot your own corpse, it's a bit broken and wastes time. SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Oct 17, 2020 |

I finished Saints and Sinners a few weeks ago and left with pretty mixed feelings. Felt like it was ambitious as VR title, with wildy mixed results. Sometimes it felt like it had some brilliant VR ideas, but at other times it just felt comically terrible to play. And the actual game behind all of that is mediocre at best.

The biggest complaint I have is the human NPC AI. It seems very simple and slapped together quickly, not a lot of fun to fight. I do enjoy the scavenging and melee combat a lot though and there's lots of ways to be creative. Single handed double barrel shotgun guy with ninja sword in the other hand may sound like a bad idea, but once you get used to how the weapon wobbles I was getting headshots 90% of the time and slicing heads off like a maniac.

I don't think you have to do any of that. I got my Quest 2 yesterday and downloaded the Oculus app for the first time and it asked me if I wanted to sign in with Facebook or an Oculus account, I chose Oculus account and then it warned me that I wouldn't be able to access social features.

Tenacious J posted:Yeah Quest 2 is amazing. Feels like a paradigm shift forward IMO. The streamer app will tell you your latency, just peek at that to see what you're getting. I've been tweaking my settings and have it at a consistent 25-40ms latency in the games I've tested so far. In the app itself I've got my VR Quality set to Low, and VR bitrate set to 80. My GPU is a 1660Ti and not something super high end though but I can't tell the difference between virtual desktop and using link.    Play with the settings, start with it all as high as it will go and then reduce them until you get a good result. I'll be testing tonight to see if my new WiFi6 router makes any difference at all, see if I can bring the latency down more.

You can get halfway to Condemned with Blade and Sorcery by using a mafia weapons mod to get a baseball bat, loading one of the custom cyberpunk map levels, and then leading the AI into an alleyway and going nuts on them. Would love to play the mannequin mall level from condemned in VR though...

I'm doubtful Sony will do something exciting like that, only because whatever they're working on would have started development before the quest was a success. It feels like no one was taking the idea of stand alone sets seriously, as the only things released were pretty lukewarm, lacking features, good prices, and expensive or mostly for business. Even after the quest had been a mild success you haven't really heard that much about people jumping in. Google cancelled daydream, Vive focus, and Pico are still just puttering around trade shows and some business use, and no one has still announced anything new. Maybe people are working on something now, but the possible companies are limited. Google could have taken advantage but they already cancelled daydream. Microsoft has inside out stuff but they don't seem to care about much beyond what builds up windows or Xbox. Sony could but they're probably too far along in psvr2 development. I'm not sure who the players would be to step in until it's way bigger .
