Turin Turambar posted:edit: hey new page! PSVR2 impressions Very little mention of how the foveated way tracking stuff works in those reviews (unless I missed it), but maybe that just means it works really well?? Horizon does look pretty awesome, and it looks like it's going to be a huge graphical upgrade for folks that don't have a PC... Assuming it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

It's what I'm curious about too, is it really dynamic foveated rendering driven by eye tracking? But then again, you are going to need some other site that is more tech-savvy than Verge and Polygon for that. I have put a few more above, but I'm finishing at work.

In general it seems like it just wasn't a problem. They also mention that the haptics are impressive and I had forgotten about the haptics in the headset itself. Feel like those haptics + spatial audio will probably lead to some terrifying jump scares.

That reminds me how the haptics in Sony's newest Playstation controllers are really cool and can feel amazing when a game uses them well. Always thought there's a lot of potential there for e.g. VR use as well.

Needing to hold your grip 100% or else you drop virtual items, or the controllers themselves, is completely solved by this. It’s really what stands out as one of the nicest things about the Index. Oh and no audio is pretty wtf. Sony makes headphones. Again, how did valve do this better than anyone else?

Mercifully the VR community is loaded with after-market options. I got the Kiwi knuckle grips for the Q2 and it was such a nice change.

I read somewhere that PSVR2 uses the eye tracking to automatically adjust IPD which is a great QoL thing, especially if we get more advanced versions of “team” games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. I feel like that type of genre has a lot of untapped potential for couch multiplayer - which would go well with the PSVR2 being tethered to a TV. Hadlock posted:2) controllers look like they have "magsafe" breakaway connectors: 2) The current Quest 2 controllers last me about three weeks on a single (really old) rechargeable AA. Even if Cambria gets a third of the battery life, that’s still good enough to even take on a trip without the dock (assuming the HMD itself can charge with USB C). 3) They’re going with a halo strap for general fit with a facial interface gasket for light blocking. I guess it’s not installed by default to better showcase how the pancake lenses let them make it super thin.

How the gently caress do you get it to accurately track your hands at all? I've been trying to set one up for my desktop setup forever and I just cannot get a necklace rig to "work" and desk rigs just don't work right seemingly for heaps of hand poses. Its so frustrating because I feel like theres not much better tech out there for this stuff atm and I end up relying on a second hand cam or straight up not using hands  Edit: Hmm I wonder if I could setup a thing with my chest harness gopro thing a doodle. hmmmmm.

I see Vorpx mentioned quite a bit when searching if a game has VR support. Is the general consensus still... Tom Guycot posted:extremely hit or miss, and most of the time miss. Looking for somewhere that lists VR compatible games that doesnt include Vorpx isnt easy. I did find a Flatscreen To VR discord where the people are decent but the games being worked on are small. They have a MW5 mod that works inside the Mech only and you have to switch back to desktop for map etc. Which is better than nothing. Still debating on getting MW5 to try it. Only $16 atm.

Ultimech (f2p game) is out now. I tried it and well, I think in the end is a flawed concept, there is no good sense of flow in a match because the players are all over the field teleporting constantly, or just using the punches from far away. Nothing like Blaston that feels just right and cool from the get go. I've been playing Deisim, which I bought time ago when it was still Early Access and... yeah, EA bit my rear end in this case. It isn't a normal strategy godgame as I thought it would be, there are no opponents to defeat, nor concrete challenging goals to beat. It's a totally sandbox 'toy'. A not very interesting one imo, it doesn't go deep enough to use that approach. Also, both the camera is a pain in the rear end (it doesn't use a, let's say, standard camera system), the UI is a failure in conveying information in VR medium, some of the miracles and progression lack any explanation and well, I could continue.

Nothing like Blaston that feels just right and cool from the get go. As a HUGE Blaston fan I tried this in the early beta. It had none of the appeal of Blaston at all. They were getting a lot of feedback from the people in the beta that there wasn't enough depth in the game, but I'm not sure how receptive they were.

I'm not gonna stand around in VR for 5 minutes just so I can fail to get a match The trick was to play a year ago when there was a bigger playerbase. But seriously, the game should match you with bots if it doesn't find anyone in 30 seconds. The game continues searching for a game in the background. At least that's how it worked some months ago.

If you want a new strap/battery for the Q2, I can confirm that the Bobo is really drat good. It's a halo strap, so it won't mess up your hair as much. The weight distribution is pretty solid. I also like that the battery is attached by magnets and can be charged anywhere. It's also on sale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JNR4Y15?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Oof. They better have a solid reason for that. Lack of backward compatibility is not great when the library of good VR games is already pretty limited.
