VR boxing is cool AF Also that shooting game where you hit targets in sync with the music. ( I think harmonix made it). Guy at work says that “keep talking and no one explodes” is legit in VR too.

VR is cool, HL Alyx is cooler than any other game I’ve ever played and if it comes to PSVR2 it’s gonna make people cry when they realise how poo poo other games are by comparison.

Modern VR is a truly amazing experience but I just don’t like having a big headset strapped on my face so for me it’s only worth it for truly transcendent stuff like Astro Bot and hopefully Alyx one day

Pistol whip is genuinely good fun. You bop along to the music capping phantom assholes in various movie motifs.

Also played Super Mario 64 for the first time at a net cafe there, later. I recall the VR game being very wonky but impressive in that "whoa it's in 3D!" Kind of way, but yeah it was rough. Current day VR kicks rear end though. Still work to be done but it's good.

Transformers Battlegrounds (on game pass) was a very fun 6ish hours of not too intense or complicated turn based strategy gaming, think Front Mission/ FF Tactics, etc, but not as many systems. Anywho, if that sentence means anything to you, I highly recommend it; it's obviously a relatively simple kid-friendly story, but just pretend it's a Saturday morning in like 1986 and you'll be just fine.

It was like, "Miss I don't think the helmets on write, miss it doesn't seem to be working. Miss...", then bang it was over.

Man dying light 2 is dark and low res on series X in performance mode, which is the only way to play since everything else is 30 frames or less. Barely got part way through the intro and my eyes hurt. Game seems pretty good otherwise, same tier as dying light 1 at least. The only zombie games I ever liked were the first one and the two last of us games, but mainly because the first game allowed you to basically avoid zombies.

I just for the life of me can't play anymore rogue/rogue-lite games. I am just sick of them. At some point they all just feel like the same treadmill with slightly different window dressing. It did seem cool if you aren't sick of them like me though.

There is a future for VR as long as they can downsize the goggles into glasses without compromising power/fov/resolution/tracking. Even something as weak as the Quest 2 hardware in a pair of Oakleys has the potential to be an iPhone-level shift in the market, but to get there products like Quest 2 in Uncomfortable Goggle Form have to exist so there is a platform to iterate the software stack upon. Anyone who doesn't see this is a loving idiot.

Just let my gamepass run out and was able to lock in 3 years of Ultimate til Feb 2025 for $125 tax included lmao. I used that turkish gold stacking method linked in here earlier, I was gonna use Costco cards and pay ~$165 because I was worried about possible snags doing it the other way but my account password was messed up on costco.com. It would've cost me $576 if I paid all that out monthly lol ($16 per month with tax here). Thank you Xbox, thank you Phil, thank you Turkey. Hopefully TES6 will come out before the sub ends.

Is Contrast going to be a permanent addition to game pass like We Happy Few? It's made by Compulsion.

Probably a permanent addition, yeah. I remember getting it with PS Plus many years ago and falling off after a couple of hours. The Xbox One store page has this message: quote:Dev note: Hi everyone! Thanks for checking out CONTRAST. We’re really excited about the Xbox One version. It is the tightest version of the game we’ve made, and has had the advantage of the improvements that we’ve made since the initial launch of the game and the power of the Xbox One (believe it or not, dynamic shadows make for a pretty power hungry game).

I ended up playing a lot of that in a local place on Martha's Vineyard called Epicenter (mostly Doom 2 custom maps though, also where I learned to design levels).

VR works really well for stationary simulators like flight and racing games. I tried out my buddies setup on his race sim and it was the most immersive setup I'd every played a racing game on. I've tried a quest(?) with all its tech demo things and it was kinda fun but just a tech demo. Semi related - MS has killed HoloLens.

Laserface posted:VR works really well for stationary simulators like flight and racing games. Microsoft's AR/VR failures are self inflicted, every choice they've made has been the wrong one. Their PCVR headsets were minimal effort, bottom of the barrel garbage and only continue to be useful thanks to their SteamVR support as Microsoft's own VR software ecosystem was DOA. Optical passthrough AR isn't technologically good enough to be useful yet, Facebook made the right choice focusing on high resolution, high FOV but bulky HMDs at relative low cost and experimenting with AR ambitions using camera pass-through. Approaching it from that direction makes for a fun toy, rather than bearing the baggage of needing to be serious equipment for work like Hololens and Magic Leap.

SCheeseman posted:Quest is the best selling headset and has brought in the most store revenue compared to any other headset. It has almost no simulators (at least not in the traditional cockpit sense), people are buying and playing the tech demos. Developers are making sequels to those tech demos. In that ecosystem where VR is retaining the most users, VR sims are more a niche. I just dont see VR getting wide spread use in video games outside of first person experiences that do not rely on the players virtual persona moving. you aren't playing COD with a VR setup in a loungeroom, probably ever, with true immersive movement and controls. why would you want to? i guess the answer to that becomes 'mech FPS games' which i could get behind.
