I did almost have a physical heart attack and pulled back so fast that I went over backward in the chair I was sitting on once though when I had a terrifying underwater encounter out of nowhere though. I love how my brain's escape plan was "just lean as far back in the chair as you can, as fast as you can".

Can you imagine how good Subnautica in VR would be with lone echo style controls, grabbing and climbing, swim jets on your wrists, snatching fish and resources with your hands and swinging a knife around like a goober? Man...

Catch & Release is just launched on the Oculus Home and Steam. This game is a hidden gem, you are in a row boat on a nice serene pretty lake and you fish, drink beer, take pictures, listen to music and thats it. However, the boat rowing and fishing are extremely well done and theres tons of little things here and there that make it such a fun experience. I've been playing/streaming the beta for the past two weeks and I'm surprised in how much I ended up liking it, its one of my go-to games when I need to take a day off from Beat Saber.

It's not coming out until 2019, openXR is coming out this year, and oculus have said they want to move to openXR as the main sdk, with OVR being legacy support. I don't know if they're too far along in development, or if it will be easy to switch over, but it seems there a good chance it will be running openXR. If the Vive Pro and what Oculus previewed were any indication we're going to be owning Rifts anyways.

OpenXR's control mapping will work almost exactly like SteamVR's beta control mapping does. It's practically a preview release of the OpenXR input subsystem.

I didn't have any performance issues with subnautica, but the ui is rendered far too close which made it unplayable in vr for me. Was unable to see my health or remaining oxygen, and trying to use the inventory gave me a headache. Looked great though.

So I was dicking with H3VR's latest attachments and made a sniper UMP, which is cool as heck: But then I thought... why should I bother with all that "aiming" nonsense when I can deliver my bullets directly to the enemy?   So simple!

The camp that keeps talking about how VR would die if Oculus didn't fund a bunch of companies making half assed games that only half of the PC playerbase can play is hilarious to me. I guess they're glad that Facebook bought Oculus and completely changed their business model because if they hadn't VR would have been gone by now.

What? The Oculus studios games are at least half of the best and most polished games in VR, and you can play them on any system. Go console warrior somewhere else.

thats certainly your perogative but you are missing out on some very very good games for something that has an incredibly low likelyhood of happening.

The Walrus posted:What? The Oculus studios games are at least half of the best and most polished games in VR, and you can play them on any system. Go console warrior somewhere else. Also Oculus has given tons of non Oculus studios games money to develop games. In many cases, they did not require exclusivity or sometimes even launch parity. We honestly can't be sure how many games wouldn't have been made without direct Oculus funding. Last night I did some back to back to back headset comparisons. Steam Tracking 2.0 (base stations and controllers) vs Steam Tracking 1.0 (base stations and controllers) differences: None for my play space (4m*4m). Vive DAS vs Vive Pro audio - Hands down winner to Vive DAS. I've been playing Beat Saber on Vive Pro for awhile and even with Bass boost + pushing the headphones against my ears, the Vive DAS sounds MUCH better. Vive vs Vive Pro cable/linkbox - Hands down winner Vive, the Vive has slightly longer cable (seems like about 2 feet), can be replaced or extended (no Vive Pro cable for purchase yet), the Vive linkbox can be used as a powered extension for the Rift/WMR headset while the Pro cannot. Vive vs Vive Pro visuals - Vive Pro makes it much easier to read text, but for everything else it's exactly the same. Honestly, after using all 3 (Rift, Vive Pro, Vive + DAS) for playing Beat Saber last night, I'd choose the Vive + DAS over Rift/Vive Pro. The tracking is the same and the Audio was best on Vive + DAS My Rift is a 2 camera system in 180, and my back camera only runs with USB 2.0. The Rifts controllers are so light they don't feel like you're holding anything. If I could get equal tracking then Skyrim would be best with Rift, while I prefer the Vive larger size and heavier weight for Beat Saber. All said I'm working to return my Vive Pro since the Audio is worse, the proprietary link cable scares me, the linkbox not being usable for other systems are strong enough downsides to overcome the increased resolution. TLDR: There have been enough Vive + DAS vs Rift comparisons, but a direct Vive + DAS + Steam 1.0 tracking vs Vive Pro + Steam 2.0 tracking shows one upside for Vive Pro (better resolution makes distant text much nicer) and many downsides (Audio much worse, link cable unreplacable, link box unusable by other sytems), and the tracking to be exactly the same.

Who else other than Oculus is funding "AAA" vr games ? As much as I'm not a fan of facebook as a company I'd much rather they put money into content than not.

I really hope the levels they haven't shown are bit more inventive with space. Its zero g in VR, have a payload thats entirely vertical, a map that inverts halfway through or something. It looks like an absolute blast, but it just looks rather flat and 2d with that map layout.

It's overall relatively flat, but there are both specific areas that are more vertical, and you can flip yourself around to get different approaches and cover. The meta in this game is going to favor people who use smooth rotation and reorient a lot mid match. It's only horizontal if you use the default orientation! I get what you mean though. There are spots in the beginning and end with more verticality, but to be honest I think a big part of it is that the locomotion is already so new and different that the map being relatively flat helps new people ease into it. I do hope there are crazier maps though.

Yeah exactly, it looks great regardless, and looks like theres a lot to play around with as is for space. I really want to see something that goes say "straight" for the first checkpoint, then proceeds directly "up", exactly because, as you mention "its only horizontal if you use the default". It would be great seeing the players who don't really grasp the zero g aspect struggle with that shift in perspective, while experienced folks will have had their "the enemy gate is down" moment and orient themselves however is most functional.
