disappointed really.

They could have just billed it as "live through WW2's greatest hits" and had two difficulty settings, "game" and "realistic/commentary/documentary"

Airborne dropping in the night, storming Normandy beach, Pearl Harbour, in Paris during the German takeover, or the shittiest part of Stalingrad.

A lot of fun cinematic scenarios that could play out in VR. Throw in some multiplayer maps and boom you're done

Not surprised exactly, but disappointed since Respawn (and their previous incarnations) have a pretty consistent track record that can be traced all the way back to Allied Assault. It's not like this genre was a stretch for them, so I was hoping they'd figure out the VR interactions and the rest would fall into place.

Has anyone played MoH since the patch?

nvmnd, it comes out next week

quote:

By early next week, maybe even sooner than that, we will release a patch that includes:

Smooth turning.
Removes the mission victory screen in between levels, but keeps it at the end of missions.
Unlocks the Gallery content from the start of the game.
Fixes weapon grabbing issues in Quartermaster.
Other misc. bug fixes and quality of life improvements.

We are also working on the next patch after this one. I will post the specific plans for that release when they are more concrete. We're trying to balance the scope of each patch vs our ability to release fixes and improvements quickly.

I can confirm that the team is in the middle of working on implementing additional visual scaling options. We hope to get this out as soon as possible, but it wont be in the first patch.

We are committed to listening to the community and trying to fix/adjust as many things as we are able to.

Maybe it was a term in their contract with Oculus? Have it out within X months of the Quest 2 release or must be released in 2020?

Everything about MOH has seemed weird. No one knew how much it was going to be until the moment it came out which is strange

this can be big, lots of games use uncompressed audio if theyre not using ogg vorbis or something. afaik compressed audio would require more cpu time, lossless or not (flacs would have this same problem)

also, are goons interested in organizing Contractors matches/servers? i just got my stock in and it works pretty well

I’m happy to see that adoption is enough to have the Quest 2 be largely sold out everywhere, but bummed as I talked a buddy’s wife into getting him one and now they can’t find any. Looks like the only Microcenters in the country with any are in CA so that’s right out.

How does this compare to a Mario Kart? People said that Sonic Racing game from several years ago was good, but I wasn't a big fan. MK8 had ruined me on it. Though the VR factor might be enough to get me to buy this even if it's just "mostly fine."

From everything I've read it sounds like Alien Isolation but with raptors, which sounds pretty cool. Supposedly it's only about 3 hours long though.

Yeah - VR games seem to trend more toward "experiences" than actual games. I have no problem with that. I just want prices to reflect it.

Prices reflect the smaller market size as well as the increased production cost of figuring out new gameplay.

According to user submitted data on Howlongtobeat.com, Walking Dead Saints and Sinners and Alyx are tied at 11 1/2 hours for main story completion.

Edit: Asgard's Wrath is listed at 28 1/2 hours.

Speaking of, did anyone get Oculus support to actually give them that game? We went back and forth with support but they still haven't delivered the goods

I did, maybe? I dont actually have a gaming pc, but I plan to get one in a few months so I claimed it anyway so I could have it. After a little back and forth they said:

Hello,

Thank you very much for patiently waiting while your case was brought to my attention.

Good news, I was able to successfully add Asgard's Wrath into your Oculus account.

Once you’ve activated your Quest 2 and connect it with an Oculus Link cable to a compatible computer, your free game will be visible in your Oculus Home PC library.

To learn more about Quest 2 and Oculus Link set-up and PC compatibility see our Oculus Quest Plus Link article here.

I will be closing this ticket, please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance.

Haven't confirmed but at least in theory it's there

For those who have upgraded from a Rift S to a cable-driven Quest 2, how much better is the increased resolution?

With my Rift S I really don't like you can often make out individual pixels, especially noticeable on orange things like the flight suits in rogue squadron. It looks a bit like this:



If the Quest 2 improves that then I might replace my Rift

It's noticeably better, but until the technology fundamentally changes in some way (I consider what they did with the Odyssey+ to be something along these lines), you're always gonna be able to tell you're looking at a screen in some way. But to be honest, if you're noticing the screen, the problem is likely that whatever thing you're doing in VR isn't that engaging, and a better screen wouldn't make that experience much better anyway.

Edit: situations where you're straining to see a tiny dot far away excepted of course
