Please don’t forget the best free games Rec Room https://recroom.com/rec-room Rec Room is essentially a framework around which other games are built. It includes tools to make your own gametypes, although 99% of players just play existing rooms. Popular game modes include: Paintball - Exactly what it sounds like. Players are divided up into two teams to play either team deathmatch, or capture the flag. You pick up weapons in the level, or from downed opponents. The paintballs are affected by gravity, so there is a strategic component to shooting Battle Royale (rec royale): Basically Fortnite or pubg in Rec Room. You know the drill. Drop from a plane, last man standing wins. I would argue that Rec Royale is a way better BR implementation than most other games, because the 6DOF affords you a lot of flexibility. There are a ton of other modes including parkour courses, castlevania type games, shooting galleries and all manner of fun stuff. The game and culture around it is pretty kid friendly and you will bump into players of all ages. The community is generally pretty good about not tolerating toxicity. The biggest drama is generally around teleport motion vs smooth motion, with the latter claiming the former are cheating. They aren’t, teleporters have a mandatory two second cooldown after they move where they are sitting ducks. Available on Oculus, Steam, quest, PSVR and in flat mode on a bunch of devices. Crossplay is enabled between all of them. There are options to only play with VR players, although I find VR players are at an advantage over flatscreen players anyway. Pokerstars VR https://www.pokerstars.net/ It’s poker, in VR. If you have ever played Texas holdem poker, you know how to play this game. The real draw of this game is the human interaction. You have an array of toys, drinks, food, smokables and all kinds of stuff to mess with at your disposal. The tables fill up with stuff as the game goes on. Don’t like that you lost that hand? Shoot the winner with a squirt gun, or throw a tiny donkey at them. The physics are on point, which you wouldn’t think is important for a poker game, but absolutely makes this one. You physically grab your chips and cards and play like you would at a real Vegas table. Everyone is voice enabled by default so the game doubles as a chat room as the games go on. Watch the people you play with, you’ll find like in real life, they have tells in VR too. Everyone is 6dof as well, so you can see if they slump back in their chair, shake their head, sigh, or anything else really Chips are free and you can win more of them every 8 hours by spinning a big Wheel of Fortune type wheel. You can purchase them too, but in my experience I’ve never bumped into anyone who actually bought them. Legend has it, it’s only the weirdos who absolutely have to play at the million dollar tables who actually buy chips. It’s poker, so the audience and conversation skews more adult than rec room but in my experience it’s rarely toxic. You can mute people’s voices and avatars as well if they get out of hand. I find I mostly mute people for constantly breathing into the mic, rather than any other reason. It’s on Oculus, Steam, Quest and PSVR and it’s crossplay between all of them.

Nektu posted:Is this based on something or just a general remark? It’s based on the fact that they’re a kickstarter company who sells super niche high end products inside of an already super niche high end category. Reviews run from middling to amazing for the same headset. It just doesn’t inspire confidence.

Also, potentially messing with user metadata or anything that can be construed as such will not be tolerated on a Facebook platform. I’m still sort of shocked that Carmack works there. His ideals seem to run directly contrary to Facebooks.

The complaints of scale seem to be based around the Index. It seems like Oculus, Vive and WMR folks don’t have issues

Wheezle posted:I've just switched to a Rift S from a Vive and I'm now noticing some rather problematic FPS drops in Beat Saber that weren't there before. I know the resolution is a little higher now, but surely a 2080 Super should be able to handle that, right? Did you set “-vrmode oculus” in the steam launch options? right click the game in Steam > properties > set launch options > type in "-vrmode oculus" without quotes.

Wheezle posted:Thanks, this seems to have done the trick or at least has had a nice placebo effect. Yeah there are some wonky things that change when you don’t set the vrmode correctly and it seems to differ between headset models. My OG Rift for instance refused to vibrate when I hit blocks until I set that mode

Rectus posted:That issue is easily fixable by only requiring the host (or any player) to own the DLC. Yeah that is easy except in the history of all games on any system no one has done it yet. Why buy the dlc if you only play multiplayer with friends and one of them owns it. It’s better (monetarily) to take the call of duty route and fragment your player base on DLC and make them pay to play. It’s lovely, absolutely, but also it forces players into DLC purchases

Lemming posted:You don't have "this is real life" circuits hardwired into your brain, you do have "this is a recognizable human face" circuits hardwired into your brain. I think VR is going to open up new questions in the "fantasy vs reality" space because of how truly convincing it is on a subconscious level. It’s this. Blade and sorcery videos make me squirm, as did that walking dead VR video. If I was in the HMD I’m sure I would nope the gently caress out. Bring on the big rear end VR Spiders and whatever, love it. But the “that person is really there in front of you” aspect that VR brings about is unsettling to me when I have to kill that person.

Valve has gone on record saying a big part of the reason that they havent made a new half life game (3 or otherwise) is because the first two are looked at as absolute essential classics. They captured lightning in a bottle and they have publicly stated that they wont make another half life game until they're confident that they have it nailed to the quality of the first two. What this DOESNT mean is "valve wont make a new half life unless its a clone of the first two", its about quality standards and industry impact. Yes, modern games do half life stuff better than half life did, but the impact of the games on release absolutely cannot be overstated. There was nothing like them. Thats what they have said they want to recapture. Also, a new half life game is such a huge event in the gaming world that you can bet that within 24 hours someone will have patched it to run 2d, even if the new whizbang features get turned into sierra-style point and click stuff, people will want to experience the story, and therefore will do anything they can to get it on a regular monitor. I can all but promise that. Either way, I think Valve would not be calling this a flagship game, or a half life game if they werent reasonably sure they had recaptured the lightning in their bottle. And monitor users will definitely get to play this game, either officially down the road, or with mods. Those are my predictions.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Not if they're still actively trying to push VR. Software exclusives are a big part of encouraging hardware sales, and a VR-exclusive Half-Life game is going to have a lot of people piss and moan about VR at first before they bite the bullet and start dropping cash on a Quest or Index. Hence why I said “or with mods”
