Yeah I just tried it out and it is pretty nerve wracking. I stopped when I hit a wall because some zombies snuck up behind me (make sure you have space 360 degrees around yourself to punch!).

So I recently got an oculus rift and have been having a great time with beatsaber and boneworks. I run boneworks pretty okay at lower settings but get some bad tearing/stuttering near heavy light areas (the final punch fight was awful, the stained glass murdered my view). Would I run half life alyx passably? Or should I not even bother?

Boneworks isn't very well optimised. What video card and CPU is the PC running?

On an i7-3770 w/ 2070s Boneworks with more than 5 enemies in the area (only happens a few times) resulted in really choppy framerates, while HL:Alyx never got nearly as bad, although it would also start to get choppy with multiple combine in the area. It's possible SteamVR was a bit more intelligent in dynamically scaling the resolution vs 3rd party games? IDk i'm pulling that out of my rear end. It's probably just optimization.

I'm on a mission to track down VR versions of the 2 "forbidden" tables, Ghostbusters & The Beatles. I've got them already for regular play but not the converted ones. I may have to teach myself how to convert them to VR if I don't have any luck

Aside from the pipe area with a lot of mist, the disco dance floor with 10 zombies and the final boss fistfight, boneworks ran moderately smoothly, and Beatsaber runs great, with the occassional odd hitch in a song that I suspect is actually due to my desktop background changing. Whenever I launch into Oculus, it tells me that I'm "below the new minimum specs" but steamVR has run rather well for the vast majority. I know if it ran poorly I could just refund it, but I don't want to get my hopes up and be all disappointed...

Ars ran this article which summarizes some corroboration between that Bloomberg story and a recent report from [url]https://www.theinformation.com/articles/new-apple-mixed-reality-headset-details-swappable-headbands-eye-tracking]The Information[/url] about Apple's foray into VR. Seems to confirm that they are pursuing 8K res (per eye) with some new, post-M1 processor powering it. Also foveated rendering. And AR? For $3,000.

Yeah, that was my point, there is no action anime rpg games because the same reason there is also no action non-anime rpg games. Because they are expensive to make. You say it doesn't have to be big, what does it mean? big = 60 hours game? not big = 25-30 hours game? That still would be noticeable bigger than most VR games.There is a reason most VR games are small, arcade things, or just are adaptions of existing content (like Skyrim). The only VR game that is like you ask is Asgard's Wrath, and imo it isn't that well executed, in several areas.

If you consider souls-like games to be action RPGs there’s Chronos on the oculus store which is the predecessor to Remnant From the Ashes. It’s played from a fixed camera 3rd person perspective in VR (the camera changes position as you change rooms, so it’s not like, first person or anything, but it’s really cool to look around and it’s a fun game. You level up, find new gear, etc. Edit: it’s not animeish. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Feb 5, 2021 |

Lmao at a $3000 headset with an iPad stuffed in it. People already complain about the price of the Index. I get that it will be more powerful than the quest 2, but that’s their main competition and they are two thousand seven hundred whole rear end American dollarydoos above the quest 2 Buuuuuuuuut, also it’s Apple, and I fully expect they have some literal alien technology up their sleeve to justify it

The apple price makes perfect sense imo. A good chunk of the market are early adopting nerds who will drop a grand for dodgy hardware made to order by gaben. And apple fans are basically defined by being willing to pay extortionate prices so it's two overlapping Venn diagrams of big spenders. Everyone else can just buy a quest. (though I do desperately need someone who isn't Facebook to make it. The oculus user experience is loving terrible)

Fortunately he has an ipad he could do it on but it is pretty ridiculous that there's literally no way to use this unless you set it up on a relatively new android or ios device.

Yeah - I started setting it up last night before getting frustrated and just going back to Poker Stars. I was getting errors like 1/3rd of the time, couldn't figure out which of the files on the VR tables spreadsheet were required other than the ROM (is a "VR Room" the same thing as a table?) and couldn't figure out how to actually control anything (I assumed that touch controls weren't supported that I needed to use a keyboard but it didn't seem like my keyboard was doing anything). I would launch the VR launcher, it would kick me out of Oculus Link, I would relaunch Link and see the table select menu but couldn't interact with it. Eventually I got loaded into what I suppose is the "bump calibration" table but I was sitting in the middle of it and couldn't figure out how to interact with it.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Lmao at a $3000 headset with an iPad stuffed in it. People already complain about the price of the Index. Also, its going to be a device exclusively using hand tracking, as that is clean and simple. They even mentioned in the blurbs about it, that the most they're working on is a 'thimble' to wear on your finger to help with tracking. This will not be a device you can port over population one or beatsaber, etc to. I don't blame them though, the only thing they really care about is AR glasses down the road, for every day wear, and for that you need to do everything with hand tracking. Still, I remain completely convinced this lab project at apple will never be a released product, but it gives the rumor mill sites more New Apple Product Rumor, clicks, like last year when everyone was telling us the iGlasses are going to launch at the trade show.

The Propagation VR Co-Op DLC went up, it's $8.50 right now so they're charging for the DLC since the base game is free. Makes sense to me. Also I just found out that this is by the same team who make Ragnarock!

If it is $3,000 they're not launching it as a consumer product, it's an enterprise and professional product to go alongside stuff like the Mac Pro for stuff like video creation and 3D modelling.

It's something to do with SteamVR it seems like, when it errors out resetting SteamVR seems to somehow fix something and it'll let me load in fine for the rest of the vr session. I haven't been able to nail it down, was thinking of trying disabling the SteamVR home and seeing if that helps. It's erroring out because of some VR end issue somewhere, that much is clear. It doesn't feel like it's connecting properly with SteamVR and doesn't have a vr space to put the player in, locking it up. Whatever it is it's definitely annoying and definitely not just you. I'm trying it with an Odyssey+ here.

I might have a really good way of setting up a bartop interface but if I do that I can't really move around to adjust where I'm standing.

Sometimes it's worth bringing something to market just to gain some knowledge that you otherwise would never get even with a closed beta.

At least that's what I've read, uh, my keyboard doesn't have a numpad so I haven't been able to test it yet. It sounds way better than fiddling with the numbers manually.
