What's the trick to gliding in Zenith? When I try it, it's more likely falling slowly than the cool zooming movement I can see other people do. If I put my hands out in front of me in like a V shape I get some forward momentum, but not much.

BiggestOrangeTree posted:Just as all my friends are getting into VR my old WMR headset (Lenovo Explorer) seems to be giving out. I suspect it's the cable because it will just suddenly turn off after I turn my head. Apparently replacement cables for other WMR headsets exist but I can't find a way to get any here in europe and it would require opening the headset and all that poo poo... For what it’s worth I have an odyssey plus and my friend has an odyssey… they work pretty well, but I have to say wires are so annoying. I’m at the point of making a Facebook account just to get a quest 2 for the wireless PCVR. Then again, if you can get an odyssey or odyssey plus for like 200$, go for it.

I'm in Germany and the prices I'm seeing here are more like twice as high as that. Also I never looked before but it turns out the Quest 2 is way more expensive here too ($500+).

Last night I was super tired and just kinda zoned out staring at the trees swaying in the wind in my Steam VR room and it was cool. Besides Tetris Effect what are some cool games with amazingly trippy or serene visuals taht would be fun to get high and put on that require somewhat limited interaction from me besides just turning my head and looking at cool poo poo. This sounds hyper specirfic but I hope this come across well..I don't have a Quest 2 so no oculus specific stuff

I finally figured out how to run Minecraft PCVR and it is very very fun. Also it has a feature I've never seen anywhere else - while you are playing you can switch on the fly between playing regular VR style and "living room mode", in which you are playing the traditional way on a virtual tv in a Minecraft living room area.

Its boxvr/fitxr (sorta) with a probably model for subscription eventually. My complaints are that the knee stuff isn't tracked. Its not like the upcoming supernatural stuff is teasing. In fact, you can cheese the knees just swinging the thing down. Not a big deal, I actually kinda like being able to cheese it, But its not really a forced knee mechanic thats being tracked. And the workouts are very sameish. Like the short ones, are bundled together to make longer ones. So if you do the short ones, then a long one, you might do the same 2 workouts twice. If they keep up with content regularly itll be cool. If it stays as it is for months on end before new content? Naw. EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Feb 4, 2022 |

I'm subbed to it (the coaching parts actually help me keep up intensity) and it is great how regularly they are putting our new content. Not all of it is stuff I'll play (too easy, not dance/pop/edm stuff) but there is always more coming. I just want to see their boxing library catch up to their flow library

If I put my hands out in front of me in like a V shape I get some forward momentum, but not much. If you haven’t, change the gliding mode to sensitive. Then when you put your arms out turn your hands so your palms face down to glide straight forward, and twist your wrists up and down to glide up and down respectively. You maintain your speed going straight so you can dive from high places to pick up speed and then glide along the land. Also for finer control I will keep one hand positioned to fly straight and use the other for up and down control.

I just played the first chapter of Half Life Alyx. It is as impressive as it is obvious that it was made with the index controllers in mind. My horrible twitchy hands...though playing fetch with the gravity gloves is fun. Also, I thought I was set with my VR sea legs when I was able to do smooth locomotion. And then I tried smooth turning. Never again.

I don't mind that they have leg stuff that they don't track currently. It is for working out not leaderboard showing off. I'm just glad that by the time I'm done I feel like I get a reasonable lower body workout too witf side squats and leg lifts and the like.

If I put my hands out in front of me in like a V shape I get some forward momentum, but not much. set it to sensitive or strafe, use the angle of ur hands to control gliding down fast or slow. use the speed momentum from going down to go up, like you are making a sine wave with your hands. bring your arms close to or in front of your body to stop gliding to save stamina if needed.

There's a VR mod for the Resident Evil Engine games, so Resi 2, 3, 7 and 8. It's only just been released so there's some jank (menus always appear facing the front of your VR playspace rather than your current direction, the cutscene camera is mapped to your headset so you get a lot of weird angles, scenery clipping and seeing things you aren't meant to, which is honestly pretty funny) but I beat all of Resi 2 very comfortably. Resi 3 has much more dynamic cutscenes that will test your sea legs, but otherwise is also good and playable.

Half-Life 1, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake, Quake2, Doom 1 (and 2, and Wolfenstein, and Hexen and all those FPSs), Morrowind, and apparently sort of HL2 but it sounds jank as hell playing it through Garry's Mod or something. edit: And apparently Quake 3 now but its work in progress.

Also perhaps of note is that there's apparently a virtual cockpit mod for Elite: Dangerous VR. The game itself is natively VR-compatible but intended to be played with a HOTAS or controller, but that mod supposedly lets you play it like VTOL VR, where you can use your VR controllers to reach out and flip switches or grab the stick within your cockpit.

Cons:
The polish issues I could track up to app lab and look past but the timing issues I just can't abide. EbolaIvory did you really not feel that at all? I would blame it on weird latency if it were AirLink or something but this is native Quest 2 so I am at a loss.

Anyone else NEVER use stick turning? I prefer to rotate IRL especially once I went to the Quest for every day use. Even when I'm playing something like ROR2 where you need to basically be constantly circle strafing, always turn my body IRL ...I'm waiting for a Hitman patch

Even when I'm playing something like ROR2 where you need to basically be constantly circle strafing, always turn my body IRL I'll only use stick turning in like 90 degree snap modes and that is just reorient my focused area back to facing front while in an action lull. In the heat of combat or whatever it is 100% body turning.

I know right? I have to imagine they’re leveraging dolphinvr for the Wii U version? It would be interesting to see if the labo VR version could be made to work though? Nintendo got so close with that, but not quite all the way there for a good, cheap VR implementation. .Ataraxia. posted:I never use it either. Feels so much more immersive to just turn your body. It took me a long time to get used to, because my brain was trained to watch out for my CV1 and Rift S cables, but yeah, just turning your body is the way to go.
