Had there been any indication of a "gen 2" for Oculus or Vive?

Yeah this is something I noticed way back in the HL2 mod, I felt slightly less accurate but boy was I waaaaay more accurate in reality. Getting headshots one after another, never missing. Crazy accuracy when you can actually point and shoot like in real life compared to moving an artificial crosshair around.

In real life, aiming is pretty difficult, especially on the move or in rapid succession...

What? What are these words even supposed to mean?

As opposed to in a videogame when you're on the move or in rapid succession but having to do it with a mouse or game controller?

Why are you comparing shooting in VR in a videogame to standing at a range and firing slow shots? what are you :psyduck: What was the point of this post?

"In real life, aiming is pretty difficult" eh not really it isn't. I go skeet shooting or to the rifle range once in awhile, and it ain't rocket science. So even that's wrong. I mean yeah it takes practice and accuracy but what the gently caress are you trying to say?
The point was, compared to a mouse.

E: Have you ever shot a gun?

Aiming isn't as hard as people make it out to be. Hitting something at the ranges in most games is ridiculously easy. Zaphod's crazy but I do agree with him.

:wtc: Aiming at poo poo in real life and hitting them is pretty hard. That's all I'm saying. The original post sounded kinda like he was implying it's easier to hit stuff IRL than in games. Might not be what he was implying, in which case sorry?

As a couch gamer and lifelong console player I find controllers infinitely better than a mouse and keyboard for playing games, even FPS, but I also recognize how much more accurate a mouse is and understand why people prefer it. They just need to stay the hell of of consoles and stop pretending like they aren'y blatantly cheating when they buy a $150 dollar dongle to bypass it and ruin the balance in console games.

What are your thoughts on turbo buttons?

After playing "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" with my friend via Skype, I decided to get it on Daydream with my Google survey bucks. Have yet to play it, but the menu seems solid. Is it the same as other VR versions? I can't imagine much in the way of differences.

I don't like Oculus' practices and feel like they might abuse market position if given the chance. Their track record leans in that direction and Facebook has a history of questionable ethics.

I will probably buy a Rift though

Not going to repost the whole thing here but tldr; if your launch day rift breaks you have to buy a new retail box (which I certainly won't be doing, even with the new price drop)

"Out of warranty.

It disgusts me that people will let their warrantied broken stuff sit for months without taking any steps.

The company is not to blame for you lazy entitled consumers who buy expensive products that they only care about enough to excuse bitching about Daddy Corporate when they just don't give a drat about their expensive poo poo."

Pay to win spaceship game with really samey spaceships and no depth at all in gameplay. It blew peoples minds because it looks ok and was a space game. War Thunder looks better and is free. IL2 looks much better and has depth and singleplayer.

Man, I was extremely uninterested by War Thunder's flight, and no one plays the semi-realistic tank mode in that game.

That's disappointing news over EVE Valkyrie, then. I guess I should order off of the Oculus store, then? They won't charge tax, and I think that's the cheapest I'm going to get...

Did you play in the sim modes? Also lots of people play tanks.

Everyone plays the arcade tanks with automatic ranging and whatnot. There's a middle ground mode between that and sim that I really enjoyed but wasn't populated at all.

Even if you had a 4k headset, do you have the video card and computer to drive it? Even if you had full-skeleton tracking do you have any games that would use that input?

Not really much point being ahead of the curve right now.

A 2nd Gen 4k headset would probably have Foveated Rendering, wouldn't it?

These are my USB controllers on my P67 board. Looks like I have four USB 3.0 ports across 2 controllers (rear panel, front panel). Think this should be sufficient for up to 3/4 sensors and a Rift?

You shouldn't be getting that message unless your page file is too small, thats what that message means. Windows essentially has as much memory as there is in your system PLUS the maximum size of your page file. Is the disk your page file on low on space?

No. But I often have committed memory close to 30GB
