I mean, having Office availability is kind of required if you want to use VR as a virtual office.

Lmao I remember a few years back when we were all hand wringing about how Facebook was buying all the VR studios (what’s the count now? 11?) and how this either meant FB was going to go full 90s Microsoft and lock everyone in to the Quest platform - or it was a necessary evil to save VR. Either way, there was a lot of dev talent cooking up the next generation of VR games under the Oculus Studios brand and it was just a matter of time before the floodgates opened. Turns out Zuck just likes collecting game studios. One of those rich man hobbies I’ll never understand.

I don’t understand why Meta doesn’t hire Dr Beef and his crew full time to create VR ports of classic shooter games. It’s literally money sitting on the proverbial table.

If you were Dr Beef what exactly would it take for you to entertain such an idea. Do what you want, how you want, with a healthy support structure, or join Facebook and do what they say plus ???

Because you KNOW "we'll pay your bills and compensate you better and more reliably than your Patreon/whatever... just keep doing you and give us first crack & non-sideloaded ports in exchange" ain't gonna be the deal.

AFAIK these are just the engines ported to VR and some of the original shareware content. You buy the old game and then copy the copy written game data to the Oculus. There’s no infringement that way.

Thats cool that you don't need to draw the borders with the Quest 3, it just detects stuff. Imagine adult content that utilizes the mixed reality. Have a couple beautiful models lying on your bed. Why not.

Origami Dali posted:Is the difference between 95 degrees fov vs 110 really noticeable? While it's only like 15%, it's a lot when you are on the edge of tolerable. I'm hoping it's less of peering into a game through binoculars and more like the Index wearing ski goggles feeling. Index is like 120-130 though so a huge difference still.

There’s no infringement that way. There’s zero possibility Meta’s interested in paying for that, though. (Also, the “there’s no infringement” is overstating the case. There’s not clear enough infringement to be worth going after a random dude’s Patreon income. If it’s Meta’s pockets, it’s a different calculus.)

I'm curious to hear if existing Quest 2 stuff is compatible in terms of at least attaching, but I'm not super confident on having to get holes made for the ports, cause I'm fairly happy with my kiwi strap.

Such a poo poo presentation but I preordered anyway. Last thing I used was a Rift CV1, so it'll be a decent upgrade, and I'm looking forward to catching up on decent titles. What's the thread rec for a casual exploration/puzzler? We were too stupid for Obduction.

There’s no infringement that way. Yeah but no way is Meta going to sell that sort of thing. They seem to have a good relationship with MS so maybe they can license Doom and Wolfenstein but stuff like Jedi Knight is obviously never getting the green light. Now I’m imagining them hiring the team behind the Morrowind VR port and licensing out an official VR remaster with their AI voice tech and proper combat mechanics.  ChocNitty posted:Imagine adult content that utilizes the mixed reality. Have a couple beautiful models lying on your bed. Why not. This basically already exists in video form but should get much better thanks to the Q3 passthrough. Porn is at the bleeding edge of this stuff, as always. The VR porn studios have been slowly iterating on the passthrough concept since the Pro’s release. Haven’t checked in a bit, but I think at this point they’re filming in a full green screen environment and have the dude in a green screen suit with just his dick poking out lol. Idk if there’s any SFW clips out there but it’s extremely Blade Runner 2049ish.

Those are pretty rare, because having a dedicated studio and doing a full CGI enviroment to then add in is a lot more expensive than renting some rich person's beach house to film for a day.

Chadzok posted:easy choice between q3 and hypothetical index 2 for an Australian, valve is apparently unaware that we exist and still does not ship any hardware here The fact that we have strong consumer refund laws, cost an exorbitant amount of money to ship to, and don't have the grace to be a large market like the EU, all combines to make me believe that we are never seeing a Steam Deck release here certainly, let alone any other Valve hardware. Anyway, I've been limping along with my Quest 1 for ages with some money set aside for eventually buying a new headset, figured there was no point upgrading until I had a better sense of whether theQuest 3 was going to be a notable upgrade over the Quest 2 or Pico 4 or not. Seeing some of the previews after this round of media hands-on events was enough to convince me to fork out for the drat thing. I think the mixed reality functionality is going to be criminally underutilised and I don't think Meta have demonstrated any real sort of killer app for the headset, but also I don't know why I'm pretending that I'm not just going to sink 100s of hours into Walkabout Minigolf VR with it anyway.

Didn't Gaben move to New Zealand and do a big thing showing off Valve hardware? I'm aware NZ is not Australia, but I would've thought it would be close enough and be sold in both by now.
