Jim Silly-Balls posted:ALSO, is there any game that will satisfy my intense desire for no man’s sky in VR? I thought it might be elite dangerous but the thread seems do think not. There's also X4: Rebirth but that game's pretty much worse than both of those games put together. Still, you can probably try it for an hour than refund it if you are really that desperate.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Hell yeah Monoculus Rift Bros!! Sweet I think I am going to try this out for a few days, if it works ok with reasonable framerate, return it and get an Occulus Rift Right now my plan is park myself in a space station in low orbit around saturn, or maybe a moon of saturn, or maybe the cloud nebula https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UebzzgMgUzw&t=248s  And then boot up OVRDrop and load my two windows desktop screens at full size https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgLnGNrJPfI&t=82s Then... get to work?

So I ended up getting the HP WMR headset instead of the Acer due to the higher build quality. Picked them up at the microsoft store for $200 in case I didn't like them and wanted to do a return. Guess I'll give a little mini review. Comfort: I find this headset to be more comfortable than both the OG vive and the vive w/ DAS. I guess I have a common IPD, because I didn't need to adjust it at all. The front foam on the headset it quite nice, and the headset itself sits cleanly on the face with very little light bleed. The headband design of the headset took a little getting used to, but once I found the sweet-spot it was quite comfortable. The single knob adjustment and flip up display are amazing. 9/10 Screens: Way better than the vive. 1440p makes a big difference, I guess. Screen door effect was reduced greatly, and the bump in resolution meant that text was actually legible. I'm very excited about the possibilities actually using my desktop in VR. I can't comment on color accuracy or brightness, since I have far from a discerning eye on this sort of thing. I will say that both the colors and brightness were not distractingly good or bad. 10/10 Controllers: I prefer both the vive and oculus controllers greatly. The controllers aren't bad per say, but they are far from great. Ergonomics are not the best, and it seems like a lot of steam games do not support the thumbstick? That might be a setup gaff on my part, however. I do like that they have both a trackpad (meh) and thumbsticks (woo!). The triggers are average. 6/10 Tracking: So this is the big one people were asking about. Tracking on the headset itself is perfect; imperceptible from the tracking quality of the other headsets. Tracking on the controllers was surprisingly good, but obviously not perfect. There was some shaking when I brought them close to my face, and I think some occlusion was occurring when I had my hands very close together (like to hold a pistol in Pavlov). Overall I think I need to spend some more time with the controllers before I can say for sure how good the tracking is. I can say this however; I never was affected negatively by the inside out tracking while playing a game. 7/10 Overall: I'm very impressed by this headset and controller combo. Given that I spent a grand total of $200 on this, I'm honestly amazed at the quality/price ratio. The picture is the best I've seen in a VR set (I haven't seen the Odyssey) and the build quality rivals that of the rift. The setup of the entire system was also the easiest of any I've done. About as close to "plug and play" as you can get with VR. The inside out tracking is pretty usable, but I'll need to see how it goes over the long term. I would have no problems recommending this setup to anyone at this time. If this was $400, I'd say get a rift, but at $200 I would have a hard time recommending anything else. 8/10

Songbearer posted:74 hours played in H3VR. I also initially bought it, tried it for an hour and refunded it (Though it was because I had two sensors and he hadn't implemented snap turn, etc). I like guns in the same way I like cars: I have a very superficial understanding of how they work but think they're cool and love learning about obscure ones. H3VR has so many weird and wonderful guns that you're bound to find something cool even if your interest is limited. H3VR is also excellent for is just practicing to properly aim in VR to  for any other VR game. Something that also needs mentioning is you don't just get a wide breadth of weird and esoteric weapons, you can customize most of them with tactical rail accessories (if they have tac rails, of course) or change the ammo. And that's where the game can get even sillier, because you can do things like take a small 9mm handgun and turn it into a long-barrel, two-handed, semi-auto carbine with a shoulder stock.

As a huge fan of Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64 and Pilotwings 3D, I really like Ultrawings. I finally unlocked the next plane a rocket powered glider and holy poo poo is it crazy. The game really makes you feel the power differential between it and the starter plane, and you instantly get that you’re in a whole different vehicle with a whole different flight envelope. The immersion in this game for me is really strong and I love it. It helps that it’s a love letter to Pilotwings and I adore those games, but it’s good enough to stand on its own without nostalgia id argue $20 well spent. I’ll probably 100% this game, which is super rare for me.

I just had an Echo Combat round end in a way you can only dream of; I snuck behind the defense team near the last checkpoint, and they were all bunched up on the Flamingo focused on my teammates. Managed to perfectly throw an explosive into their midst, and shoot all three of them before they realized what the gently caress was going on and rode the Flamingo to victory  .

Have an old Oculus Rift DK2 (that I've finally got a PC that's capable of running games again) and am currently in the process of setting it back up. What software is needed to run it these days? Just the standard installer, for the actual Rift, from their website?

I've had issues looking down and crouching, if you have a solid-colored floor the tracking cameras won't have enough edges to track. No issues crouching if looking somewhere where there is contrast.

I've not heard anything about them dropping support for it, so yes, the latest version of the normal software should still work. It might require you to have an Xbox controller to complete setup, though; possibly even specifically a wireless Xbox One controller.

You can just use the current software I'm pretty sure. Keep in mind that you can not adjust IPD in software anymore, so you're stuck with whatever is default.

Oh man. Project Cars 2 in VR with a racing wheel is an amazing experience. I'm not really into cars at all, but drat. This feels so close to being in an actual car. Being able to look into turns as you take them and respond accordingly with your hands and feet feels real. Such a cool experience!

Get RaceRoom (free demo) if you want to try something with better AI. Also, pick up Dirt Rally, which is often on sale for like 15. Maybe avoid that one if you're barf-prone, though.

If I pick up one of the WMR headsets, the HP is the one that seems good- are regular SteamVR games going to pose a problem? Will I be able to do the shield swap in Space Pirate Trainer? Are there any hacks to let Rift-only games play on other headsets?

Picked up the HP HMD today, but it requires bluetooth for the controllers, and the MS store (nor any other store near me) does not sell a USB bluetooth adapter. At least Mixed Reality is nice enough to let you use a 360 pad, SteamVR locks you out of everything without the VR controllers, neither 360 pad nor SC will let me get past 'please press back'.

CodfishCartographer posted:As someone who doesn't care much for guns, how much of an actual "game" is there in H3VR? I love how much attention to detail the dev has and how often he puts out consistent content, but it always just looks like Real Life Gun Simulator. H3VR is by far my most played VR game, and it is almost entirely in the Take and Hold game mode. T&H puts you into a maze of nondescript gray hallways, you start with a gun, and you fight progressively tougher sausage-men and get more guns until you die. I keep meaning to try some of the new VR games that have come out lately, but I just keep loading up H3VR. This poo poo is therapeutic. You aren't wrong in it essentially being Real Life Gun Simulator, but the Gun Simulator aspect of it is so very well done and viscerally satisfying that it makes what little game there is good enough to hold me for almost 40 hours and counting.
