I'm excited for the new half life and want to eventually replace the Vive wand I smashed into my wall a few months ago. The index controllers seem pricey but they play nice with the 1st gen satellites right? Should I just spring for a quest and rip these satellites out of my wall?

You will undoubtedly have a better experience keeping your Vive and getting the knuckles with Alyx. You already have the lighthouses, just keep em' up. I had a Vive and kept the lighthouses exactly where they were and just got the Index headset and the knuckles. No problems at all.

Quest get's standalone stuff (try sidequest Home Plate Baseball and say nice things about it, oh and other stuff), and you still need to get a long cable for Quest.

Unlucky7 posted:So uh I like it so far, it looks great and there plenty to see and do. Crafting is fun. lots of quests. it plays a bunch with perspective, which i like. Combat is meh. You goons with a Quest should really play The Under. Its wierd as hell, have live actors and a ton of content to discover. Its best played going in without knowing too much. Its from the devs who made Virtual Virtual reality.

bizwank posted:I'm not? I have a small bedroom and was still able to clear a roughly 3x4ft space by rearranging things a little, and that's been enough room to play every game I've tried so far. Yes there a few that need more room than that, but most do not. If "making space for the activity" was a barrier to gaming then everyone would be just playing on their phones/tablets. I have a quest and easy access to a convenient playspace is the number one factor determining how often I use it

Is it normal for the outerish area of your vision to have kind of a smudged oily fingers on glasses quality on the rift s? I double checked my IPD and I still got 63/64.

Index controllers work fine with first-gen Lighthouses, and anything that doesn't have native support for Index Controllers can be messed with through SteamVR's Legacy Input system to either make them appear as Vive wands or Oculus Rift controllers to suite the individual game.

I'm not sure that's how I would describe the effect, but it is definitely normal for the outer edges to be much less clear than the center of the lens. If it's crisp and clear in the center then your IPD is set correctly.

Idk if I'd use the words crisp and clear, like it looks okay but Idk like in game it seems mostly fine but when i'm using virtual desktop it's pretty iify to read stuff. if I look at white font or whatever on a dark background if I'm not looking exactly directly at the text they kinda cast like a ghost smear if that makes sense, not sure how to describe it. also hot drat if that aint some late 90s era K-Mart bike helmet level foam on the headset itself. I'm not trying to sound like I'm hating on it, it's pretty drat cool.

Regarding the earlier discussion on having space to do VR and the effect that has on the VR market: Home size varies a lot by country. Finding space might not be a big deal for you guys in the US, but in places like the UK the houses are on average a third of the size, not to mention China.

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. I recently got a protube gunstock and noticed that when snapping on the front magnetic holder (e.g. after reloading) the tracking would sometimes spaz out. At first I thought I had a reflection problem (pro tip: get the more expensive carbon tubes instead of the chrome ones when using a lighthouse based system, unless you want to wrap them in iso tape like I did), but I could then reproduce the issue without the protube just by inducing "hard" shocks on the controllers. Soft surface impacts - like against your hand - don't show this issue, even on relatively hard smacks. My guess is that the tracking is actually a combination of lighthouse data and internal accelerometers, which throw off the tracking on high-G spikes caused by hard surface impacts.

Yay I'm a proud Quest owner now! I don't see Vader Immortal in my account, should it be automatically redeemed? I still have to learn what's the best way to put the headset in a way that is comfortable and how to adjust the headset for the sweet spot. I literally have only made the tutorials.

homeless snail posted:I consider anything where there's perceptible swim in the tracking "bad", cause that's about the only thing that makes me nauseous in VR. WMR is a little better than psvr at least. It's also me being spoiled because almost everything else on PC has rock solid tracking. ah see ive never experienced any drift or swimming with mine so thats why i was confused. its always been the same as when I was using my Vive. maybe i just got lucky? ive definitely felt it with PSVR though and its why I never use it.

The shooting in Pistol Whip seems to be a bit off. That, or the tracers are wrong/delayed. I noticed a bunch of instances where I dead-eye moving targets, the tracers hit them right in the torso but the bullets don't hit.

drat, Oculus Link works like a dream. I certainly didn't notice any latency. The only problem right now is my Anker cord is sticking out of my headset at an awkward angle. I'll definitely be getting the official Link cord. Also I read some reports that it was hard to set up, but it was drat-near plug and play for me once my Oculus software and Quest were both updated.

This sounds like when I have the headset on at the wrong angle. Try adjusting the back of the ring up and down on the back of your head. I have to put it higher than I expected to get the lenses angled just right to my eyes for full clarity.

I played the opening bits, it’s a ton of fun. It’s just straight up Metal Gear, highlight of the game for me so far was crawling on top of a server rack, walking off the edge, and then just casually dropping my fist into a dude’s head; knocked his rear end out cold. It’s score based so while you can just murder your way through, you’ll get a low mission score. Ideally you sneak through the whole game without touching anyone it looks like, but that’s boring. Also there is one really good jump scare.

I think so, yeah. Coming from the CV1 where, for me at least, it was clear from edge to edge, the Rift S has a ring around the outer edges where it is blurrier. I have a "correct" IPD of 64-65, so I think it's just the lenses they use or maybe even my face shape. It's not a massive deal, but it is a slight disappointment. Still though even with that, it's so much better than the old CV1 I don't really have any complaints.

Which scared everyone else in the household. My one big knock against the game is that the "FREEZE!" function is super range limited, in that there's no reaction if you try screaming it across the room. The hand-cameras that you can shoot out with the triggers to peak around corners is fuckin' rad as hell.
