I also pray it fails but apple's marketting and brand recognition can push through incredibly lovely things that consumers cannot help themselves but fall into (See removing headphone jacks) Apple getting into the AR/VR space is almost as bad as when Meta got involved. Like yeah we got the quest headsets and they are literally the best yet, but it sucks that its tied to Meta so privacy concerns, ads, and exploitation are inevitable.

Seems like we have several lifetimes worth of zombie shooters. When I last was paying attention to vr there was widespread bemoaning the facebook takeover, but I guess now it's good guy facebook vs evil apple? It all seems like nerd poo poo easy to cast as incrementally dystopian to me  I don't think $3500 headsets are much of a doom on the horizon yet. Play some games on whatever is your thing.We're still enjoying walkabout golf, but we tried dungeons of eternity and township tale. Dungeons of eternity makes a poor first impression by being somewhat ugly even on Q3 graphics mode and starting you with a long unskippable boring intro while they explain some half rear end lore in a dark room. Then it goes into a janky tutorial, but it seems promising once we got playing as the combat felt solid. Township had the opposite problem where we could not play the tutorial at all as the server always seemed to be down and we couldn't launch our own tutorial server. We've tried twice and the reddit has other people complaining about it so maybe things are broken on the quest version. When we tried to play it was pretty confusing and while I'm sure we could watch some youtube guides I think we'll just bail and try to refund. Hopefully we can find some crafting/exploring/rpg coop alternatives.

I only have the first Cave Digger (made by a goon) but it makes for fun adventuring to someone new to VR. I can't speak for the sequel, but I believe it has some sort of online play component. So maybe that? I haven't played the first one in a while, but I recall it being pretty relaxing and the experience could be really cool in 2-player. Shout-out to cave digger goon.

Light Brigade is pretty fun. It's a much better looking game than Dungeons of Eternity both technically and stylistically. WW2 Souls is a decently novel idea. Only problem is I'm terrible and get killed constantly. I wish there was some kinda melee option as I got killed by a dog while I tried to reload in a panic. I wish there was an easier mode so I could just vibe on its cool mood more, but I guess it wouldn't be sufficiently Soulsy with an option. I played some more Dungeons of Eternity and it's a lot easier when I turned off teleport and used direct movement. It's too hard to backpedal in teleport and you get swarmed easily. I like how in Light Brigade you can have both teleport and direct movement so you can use direct to fine tune and teleport to move long distances, but I don't think that's an option in DoE. Maybe with spells once I actually unlock some.

I was looking at the console hardware sold in January in Spain, and thinking, yep, PSVR2 is dead PS5: 56.000 NSW: 37.000 XBS: 4.700 Psvr2: 900 edit: that's 1,6%, less than the usual Steam share. And it isn't like Steam VR is vibrant right now. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Feb 6, 2024 |

I was pretty enthusiastic about PSVR2 for PCVR eventually being a thing, but that mostly dissolved once I tried a HMD with pancake lenses. HDR is awesome, the terrible black levels of LCD is absolutely a problem and can even make games worse, but I always choose sharpness and clarity above all.

I think this is more the result of video creators trying to keep their algo-led numbers up than it is Apple people, if we assume that 90% of the people doing this are doing so in order to be filmed and to generate content, as this is really the obvious thing to do if you are a tech youtuber on the 'zanier' end of the spectrum. More than anything else it's another good reason to shut down the social internet

About the VisionPro, I would like for some serious reviewer to eventually quantify how good is the screen. I read some random comment saying it was better than their nice oled tv, which sounds kinda close to BS?

Re: playing 3D videos (porn or not) on the AVP, video files need either reencoding as MV-HEVc (easy, slow, resulting file size is significantly smaller because of much better encoding efficiency) or using an app that will project the image for each eye from SBS or VR180 (the current ones on the app store are by randos who didn't actually test their poo poo). I tried WebXR tech demos and they worked fine, but that was after turning on all the WebXR feature flag toggles in Safari advanced settings. Haven't tried any WebXR-based video (just the Javascript-generated 3D stuff) so I have no idea if or how well that stuff works.

True, I'd quite like some castles and old timey fantasy though. I'm probably going to spin up Skyrim VR as well, but a dedicated VR game would really scratch an itch right now.

I think a lot of people (myself included) went through this with VR in general... mindblowing for 1 month in 2016, then shelved for years until the next interesting game comes out. I finally sold my Index and got a PS VR2 instead, so I can reclaim my home office from the VR space I built in 2016.

my new years resolution was actually to become a bigger vr freak in 2024, and its been working so far. latest uevr masterpiece is Pacific Drive. insane that the game wasnt made for vr in the first place, it is pretty great. need to tweak some settings so it plays more naturally but ill wait for the full version to play around with that.

I just got my Alien Vs Predator this morning, and I'm trying to figure out how to use it with a computer to test out some productivity stuff, but so far my topline gut reaction is that it's just extremely boring Nice that the passthrough is good enough to just look at my computer screen with. So right now it's simulating having worse eyesight

https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/topics/17742/ Konami is working on some Yu-Gi-Oh VR stuff for the quest. They did a stream in Japanese to showcase some of it. Word is it's really good but testers aren't allowed to share footage or anything. This jumps to the middle where the dude is in VR. https://www.youtube.com/live/cMvh4REJs9A?si=5Iaoa1cMSBlBfMxX&t=30m Kinda excited for an official Yu-Gi-Oh quest app. Their other digital Yu-Gi-Oh implementations are supposed to be pretty good.

Blade and Sorcery seems more like a serial killer simulator than a fantasy adventure. Doctor_Fruitbat posted:I need a good adventure game with skeletons and swords and stuff, what are some good choices there? I've heard good things about Ancient Dungeons, but I elected to try Dungeons of Eternity first which I wouldn't call an adventure game. You do get to hit skeletons with swords if that's what you want, but there's nothing beyond combat and it's a bit janky. Also on my wishlist are Ironstrike, Zenith, Battle Talent, and Darksword but I can't attest to their quality on that they looked interesting. Skyrim might be the best for going on a fantasy adventure that isn't just combat in vr.

Because the Meta TV app discoverability is poo poo, I will recommend you to search 'sato.aqua' by hand, it's a Japanese guy who has done like, a hundred 180º 3d videos of different places in Japan, with good quality and even decent photographer eye.
