So when do we get these fancy new PS5 haptics and adaptive triggers in a VR controller? If it's as good as people say I want it more than I want higher res.

Turin Turambar posted:PSVR launched almost three years after PS4 initial launch. So if PSVR2 launches two years after PS5, well, it isn't so bad. Plus the PSVR-1 still works on the PS5. So its not dead. Pierson posted:I tried it and the level of jank felt unplayable. Like, not charming jank like Blade and Soul or Boneworks but frustrating. I usually have a high tolerance for jank, so I grabbed it. Slow start but I think I'm just getting into it. I feel like this is an opportunity for a great game, but I'll probably need to mine to find it. I love the inventory system though.

It has the sinking of it from the point of view of a passenger in a life boat and also a wreck dive in a mini submarine, the tour of the wreck site is genuinely quite moving as well, and very well done. https://store.steampowered.com/app/741430/Titanic_VR/ https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1490109271079729/?locale=en_GB Titans Of Space was one of the first things I tried waaayyy back in the DK1 days and it's still a cool thing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/468820/Titans_of_Space_PLUS/ https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2359857214088490/?locale=en_GB Also, got to mention Google Earth, it's incredible

SgtScruffy posted:Any recommendations for good “experience” type things on The Quest 2? Like the Anne Frank House app was an interesting way to learn about a topic interactively. Any others that are more on the educational side? Check out 'Mission ISS' for an educational and interactive tour of the inside and outside of the space station (in full zero g movement!). In a similar vein there is the apollo 11 experience where you get to ride along the stages of the trip. Also its not educational or interactive, but for some good experiences, everyone should check out Quill theater and some of the stories there. Now that the tool has animations and linking and dialogue and such, they basically have these sort of... VR comic books you can explore. I hate listening to youtubers yammer on over the top, but this was some of the only video i could find to give an example of one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkEK0-TwkOI&t=77s ishikabibble posted:The full Index kit is still selling for >$1k on ebay. Is there a good reason to hang onto the Index and not make a bit of profit off the purchase and buy a Quest 2? If you are going to do this, you should at least buy the quest 2 first, see if you actually like using it with your PC, and then sell the index or return the quest. With the order time on indexes, you'll kick yourself if you get rid of it first and then find out you preferred using it.

Apollo VR, Buzz Aldrin: Cycling Pathways to Mars, Smithsonian American Art Museum VR, and VersaillesVR All good and educational and FREE. Some are probably on quest too. GutBomb posted:Catch and release is a good VR fishing game that is quite chill. yeah IMO catch and release is a pretty perfect arcadey fishing game, does what you want If you want a fishing SIM there's at least two of those on Steam as well, but I think C&R does what you want for a chill fishing game.

No matter what they do with the controllers, they'll never make up for keeping that hosed up unusable thumbstick layout on the playstations lol. Let it die! its not a good tradition! You didn't do it for ergonomic reasons sony, you just bolted 2 thumbsticks onto an snes controler the only place you could fit them, because someone in the 90's went "oh poo poo n64 has an analog stick"!!

I used to hate it when I was mostly a Xbox guy, but after years of using it I have absolutely no preference whatsoever between the two, I use both all of the time, and I'm convinced the only reason some people think it's better is they have conflated with their own muscle memory with=better. I actually think Sony's design is better because it actually makes the Dpad useable for playing games, unlike every other controller on the market. I mean think about, there is nothing about offset thumbsticks that "ergonomically" makes more sense. It's just something more Xbox players are used to, and PC players because it's the most used controller on PC.

Romes128 posted:Asking again for some help if anyone knows how to get Alien Isolation running on a Quest 2. Start up oculus link or virtual desktop after installing mother vr. Then run the game. In the options it will now have vr runtime options so just select oculus. I think it restarts but then will be in vr mode. Its a little fanky on certain scenes due to it not being scripted to take head position into account and there are one or two bits you will need to use mouse to get through but other than that it all works.

For platformers and most action games, Analog stick and face buttons (xbox/nintendo layout best) For FPS's and maybe flight games, Both analog sticks (wash, I guess) For retro games, D-pad and face buttons (ps layout best) I think it depends a lot on which kind of games you play most often which controller you find most comfortable.

In the Origin version, I was a able to play both Link-Oculus sdk version, and Steam version with VD. I just run the game, I had it in '2d' mode in the virtual window in VD, clicked on VR inside, and I saw the steamvr system appearing and finally I had the game in VR.

The issue i have against dual shock layout is that with xbox style thumbstick "up" is aligned with extending your thumb, but on dual shock "up" is more like a pivot of the thumb. Also the dual shock analog sticks are super low friction. The offset dpad on xbox layout isn't as big a deal because they're not analog and you can feel the dpad's shape so hitting true "up" isn't as hard, for me at least.

I mean, i haven't owned a console since the 90's so my experience is mostly based on using gamepads over the years over at other peoples houses for whatever that counts as. From the ps2 on up, before i ever even used an xbox, its always been uncomfortable. To this day i get cramps in my thumb within a half hour of using a playstation, I don't know, maybe i hold it wrong. I mean my god! Theres got to be some reason everyone on earth outside of sony switched to a dominant position thumbstick once 3d movement became the norm. I'll give it credit though, the ps controllers are still great for 2d platformers and playing emulated older games. boy this could not be more off topic, lol

Boy, this definitely sounds like a company that has big exciting plans for VR content, huh. Can't wait to see the, uh, meaningful component of interactive entertainment Sony have in store... at, um, some stage... this year? No. Next year? No. But definitely at, uhm, at some point in the future. We believe in it, though, that's for sure. I mean, I'd love to be shown wrong (I own a PSVR and had a couple of months of decent use out of it), but if Sony genuinely want to get into VR content in a big way, I don't really think they've got two years before they're left behind.
