The Quest looks a lot better than the Rift and Vive, but the Index absolutely shames it. You use the index for like 5 minutes and the pentile OLED pattern on the Quest sticks out like a sore thumb. The quest still looks good but the index took things to a new level.

The difference in optics quality with the Index and RiftS regarding edge to edge clarity is splitting hairs at best, but the Index has a much, much wider FOV. So overall for clarity and quality the Index wins by a pretty fair amount.

Nektu posted:I read a bit more regarding the Index vs Pimax 5k question, and yea, it looks like the Index really comes out on top. There are so many other HMD feature categories where the Pimax is a steaming pile of garbage (irrespective of what is good in the current class of HMDs) and the Index is best in class, the Pimax might as well not exist. Bad things like plastic cracking under a month of normal use, PiTool causing issues with SteamVR / OculusVR (it’s not a native SteamVR device) and overall shadiness of the company it’s just not worth dealing with.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:So is there a way to negate VR sickness in blade and sorcery? Generally the cause of VR sickness is from dissonance between your expected movement vs perceived movement, and when there is a difference in these two things your brain tries to reorient and can’t figure out what’s going on. The cause could be that B&S is using head oriented movement vs controller oriented movement and you aren’t used to the difference yet so you aren’t getting the expected movement and your brain is freaking out. You can try changing the locomotion method in B&S and see if that helps, however, unlike in shooting games, in melee games head oriented movement is by far the best method. Otherwise the usual motion acclimation assistants like eating candied ginger etc is the plan until you are used to it.

No. Everyone should own a quest. gently caress Facebook a million times sideways and all but the Quest is magic. The only question is if you should own a Quest AND an Index. I think the answer to the is yes if you want the best PCVR experience. YMMV

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:It's something with B&S specifically, not freeform movement. I can play hours of Pavlov and H3VR no problem. Pavlov has controller oriented movement, B&S is going to probably have head oriented movement which is the same as Gorn. H3VR has mostly broken movement.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It's all Lighthouse tech, so they work natively in SteamVR. They even sell Index controllers with the newer Pimaxes due to the delay in getting the Sword ones finished. Not quite. Pimax isn’t a native SteamVR device. The compositing and VR space happens outside of SteamVR (which is how they do Oculus stuff without SteamVR+Revive) and Pimax has hijacked & hacked in control of the index controllers. There are a not small number of games that don’t support the index controllers on the Pimax because the lovely Pimax compositor doesn’t represent it properly lmao Reason number 8364372 to not get a Pimax

Delete the hyperbolic magnetism folder in %localappdata%/locallow/ Also if you are talking about a oculus debug don’t set it to 1.3 that’s really high. I have an index and TBH I run beat saber at 1.0SS even though my 2080ti can easily handle 3.0SS. Setting 2x MSAA makes a bigger difference than 3.0SS (steam, approx 1.7 oculus) in that game.

Dongattack posted:How much content is there in the Vader Immortal episodes? I keep reading user reviews that say like "only 30-40 minutes of content" or something along those lines. There's two parts to Vader Immortal "content". First piece is the story. Ep1 is about 60-90 min of content, its good. Ep2 is about 30-40 min, is short but good. The second piece is the dojo, which is 40 levels of specific enemy combos with increasing challenge levels, this is also really fun. They are both totally worth $10, works great on Index through revive and I will buy the 3rd one without hesitation.

Play Maul style aka no ammo mode if you want to be in a world of hurt. 5 hours of pistol whip for shooting my first vid was nothing compared to this. Took me 2 hours to get this and I was destroyed for 3 days afterwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeQGRd6gxwI I think it more or less got me Pistol Whipped because now I can PW for 2 hours a few times a week and idgaf rage-saq fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Nov 12, 2019 |

Neddy Seagoon posted:Nah. Chasing after PC modding is a fools errand and nobody's stupid enough to try to stop it anymore. Oculus did it to the Quest version to lock down the headset (as far as they can with an Android device) because they've got Facebook's social VR platform coming. Cant have anyone poking at THAT under the hood, for a variety of reasons, and killing Beat Saber's modding is a very loud message to send. No they didn't, this is false. The original beaton mod creator decided they didn't want to mess with it anymore after an Oculus TOS change, then they open sourced their project and said peace out. BMBF came from that a few days later and its like nothing happened.

Neddy Seagoon posted:This was the point of the TOS change. I wouldn't be surprised if they deliver on the TOS threats at some point in the next few months just to scare off more modders That is speculative and there is no basis as this is the reason. Oculus has not contacted anybody and will not be doing so. Modding on quest is alive and well just as it has ever been, implicating anything otherwise is reactionary bullshit with no basis in reality.

Thief Simulator VR is good and fun, a fair amount of content too! It feels like it is the prototype for something like GTA in VR, it is a little rough but it nails a lot of the right elements and is just silly to play around with.

Hellsau posted:Yeah it's so low I actually got worried that the game would be horrible shovelware, but the reviews seem okay and ragesaq seemed to like it. I mean I got the key as a creator code but I legit had fun with the semi freeform criminality that reminds me of early days gta3. I’ll be streaming it tonight trying to figure out the next level of complexity of heists but I’ve had a good time so far and it easily passes the $12 cost threshold. I also have discovered the hidden gem that is viveport infinity bad VR game night. Last night on stream I said gently caress it let’s grab random games and did Shark Week Operation Apex and that was actually really good, and then followed it up in the worst (best?) way with Excavator Harbor Job which is super minimal shovelware jank that perfectly gives you control of an excavator by a harbor to do a job. I ended up in the harbor immediately but it only got better from there. There’s like 800 games on infinity, it’s cheap and it’s fast. Not gonna lie I’m gonna make this a thing.

Delta-Wye posted:Not to say it materially changes your point, but electrons move super slow and even wave propagation is like 2/3 the speed of light depending on what dielectrics are present and a bunch of other stuff. The biggest impact in latency on high speed (10/25gb) interconnects is the SFP media adapter performance. Optical interconnects have always been lower latency than copper. We are talking nanoseconds here, completely meaningless for any relevant performance scenario except HPC for algo stock trading.

Combat Pretzel posted:There's no reason why you can't make a game work in both VR and on the flatscreen. Valve should probably pull a funny one by releasing the 2D mode to a potential HL3 around 2-4 weeks later, or some poo poo. It’s exponentially more work to make a really good VR game also work with desktop. The level of control fidelity offered is such a massive improvement. They also were probably uninterested in trying to make a VR focused game also work well on the desktop, this has been a BIG focus for the company and making it VR only will certainly make sure they do it as best as they can by not diluting their efforts.

SirViver posted:Out of curiosity, can any Index controller owners try lightly tapping them against each other (plastic to plastic contact - it needs to be a hard surface impact) and report whether that causes the tracking to freak out for a second or so? Just wanna make sure this is normal behavior. This is abnormal. In order to get mine to act funny at all I have to bash it pretty hard. Snapping into a magtube doesn’t affect my tracking for more than a few milliseconds and only in an extremely minor way, the same as giving the controller a light slap.

homeless snail posted:You don't need a vrcover for an Index, the facial interface is already this ridiculously plush fabric that's non absorbant and anti bacterial. Its way more comfortable than my Vive vrcovers and just as easy to keep clean This. The index facial interface is so insanely comfy and holds up to smelling fresh until you start to tear the outer fabric layer. Mine started doing this a few weeks ago and sometimes it smells funky at the end of a beat saber stream but doesn’t smell bad the next time I use it.

Turin Turambar posted:Beat Saber is starting to annoy me with the uneven difficulty. Why some songs I can do on Hard mode on the first try, and others I need to play them 4 times in the slowed speed setting. The skill curve in beat saber has literally no end. I’ve been playing quite religiously since the game came out 18 months ago and I’m constantly being challenged and improving. As far as difficulty levels go the OST hard and expert difficulties are very, very basic in the wide realm of beat saber difficulties and are generally surpassed in a week or so of mild practice. My mom is 60 and can beat expert OST songs on the Quest after a few weeks of play and she is the furthest thing from a gamer that exists. Relatively on topic The Beat Saber community should probably move to a point score for difficulty, because a lot of “hard” songs made in the past year are probably harder than all of the OST Expert songs, and plenty of Expert songs are harder than OST Expert+, and Expert+ ranges from “Hard” to “Expert++++”. The names are meaningless vs a number score can just continually be incremented and would probably allow things to remain accurate relative to time/meta. Not a perfect solution either though, but maybe the start of something better.

A short list of my Beat Saber go to mappers for current mapping stuff that’s also good for Maul Heisenberg Rustic Ruckus Joetastic Ryger Kuritsa If I see a map by these guys I’ll play it no questions and it’s almost always solid.

Benny is good for new mappers but he hasn’t really dropped any new tracks in some time, and most of his stuff he dropped near the end was still classic Benny gen1 mapping. Not that it’s a bad thing per say Heisy maps though, are exactly my jam. Fast with amazing flow, I did this decent-ish run last night of one he did earlier this year that is still a favorite of mine called G4M3 0V3R by Celldweller https://www.twitch.tv/videos/517460295 My complaints in the vid about being able to see were because BS was lagging like hell earlier until I did some random thing that fixed it. You know, typical beat saber poo poo. When the lag is bad (but still runs) and it just kind of slows it all down it makes you feel like you’ve forgotten how to play because you can’t hit poo poo
