sdasdas posted:I've been reading the thread sporadically and I haven't seen this discussed - is the upgrade from Quest 1 to Quest 2 worth it if you're using it for PCVR via virtual desktop? I have a 5G router and VD has been flawless for me with Quest 1, my only complaint is the screen door effect with the headset. It's not the end of the world but I can consistently see it, even in detailed games like HL: Alyx or Boneworks. Hearing that it's virtually non-existent in Quest 2 with the higher resolution makes me very tempted to upgrade. Going from 72Hz to 90Hz would be a nice bonus as well. It's really hard to quantify things like worth it, but yes there is a significant quality step in resolution and (more importantly to me) framerate. For whatever reason the 72 to 90 jump is huge for me. Right now I think the PCVR difference is bigger than the quest-title difference since a lot of quest titles aren't really doing much with the extra resolution.

Gear VR was an integral step in my VR radicalization. Yeah its lovely compared to your Valve Index but for something I got for free with my phone contract a few years ago (I got Note 7 lol, that ended well) it really blew my mind how well it tracked your head movements. I only watched a couple of videos and messed around with some rollercoaster app and this 3D van goth app which while it was a pain to control with just the touchpad on the headset made me hungry to explore more VR environs. I really hope Nintendo go hard on VR for their next console, I feel like the market is ready for it and Labo VR showed what nintendo can cobble together from their existing tech using cardboard and bits of string I'm sure they could design something to plug their next system into that's rougly on the same level as the quest and boom you've got a cheap vr platform tied to a popular existing videogame ecosystem. It could become the next big thing that developers port their older VR titles to like how the switch attracted a billion indie ports. Ofc Nintendo will probably just do something baffling and insane as usual instead.

So I bought the Index controllers to replace my vive controllers... is the tracking supposed to be a lot better? My beatsabering is so much more responsive now.

I was playing through some games and at 72hz it was an awful flickery mess. Just not good enough for my eyes I guess. Changed it to 90hz and it's night and day, the refresh rate becomes transparent, as in its not something I notice or think about while playing.

I started out with that $25 Walmart steamvr 3dof headset and it is the only reason I own a real VR setup today. Despite this thread telling me how terrible it was, I had a blast playing elite dangerous and racing in VR. Sometimes those early janky experiences serve to show you what’s possible and then make you appreciate the real thing all that much more

toggle posted:How's the new medal of honour? lmao they want $60 for this. From the steam reviews it sounds like it's what everyone was expecting, which is to say not good. If they can patch in actual real weapon handling I'd be tempted but then ContractorsVR or Pavlov of whatever is probably already way more polished and less than half the price.

Still mad about it, it was a really lovely phone apart from the risk of combustion. Myst impressions: That sure is a nice vr adaptation of myst. Honestly I just love being in such an iconic location from my childhood. Money well spent. Puzzle randomization is a neat feature I love it. However. Not unexpected but it don't look so hot on og quest. Looking forward to the pc release. Interactive objects are nice but they return to their original position if you let go of them. The crossbow works in mech age which was unexpected! Also run into a couple of weird bugs. Fist the marker diagram just doesn't work for me? Did it get radomized but the texture didn't change maybe? I tried to cheat the mech elevator puzzle by walking onto it as it was rising. It pushed me up into the ceiling lol. Softlocked the poo poo outta myself. Also spoilery: the marker by the clocktower spat out Atrus's page when I activated it??? What? It has a different design from the other markers. This isn't how you find it in og myst, did the randomizer change it and I stumbled into the solution by just turning the clocktower on last? They changed how the red and blue pages work (which is such a welcome change btw) so maybe they just changed up how the white page is obtained but it confused the poo poo out of me.

I just tried VR with a valve index that I borrowed from a friend for the first time and I am like emotional about it. I think I could spend days just exploring the lobby rooms. The one on the surface of Mars and the one on the summit of Mt Rainier almost gave me tears of nerd joy. Wow what a thing. I tried Elite: Dangerous and it was amazing too.... but hard as gently caress without being able to see my keyboard or controller.

Elite is amazing in VR but I’d say you need some sort of controller for it, either a HOTAS or an Xbox one controller. Both allow you to use buttons as shift modifiers so for example on the Xbox one controller you could use the left shoulder as a shift modifier so then you get all the buttons on the controller to assign, then a second copy of all the buttons while also holding the left shoulder, plus any button can also be a shift modifier, so you get basically all of the buttons multiplied by all of the buttons amount of mappable inputs.

I've had Elite in my Steam library forever and never tried it because I never bought a joystick setup. I didn't even think of using an Xbox One controller. That definitely makes the game much more accessible - I will have to give it a try this weekend.

I'm really enjoying Cyberpunk but I've had a few moments where I've gotten confused because I've wanted to do something that's really only plausible in VR, like hold my gun around a corner or brace against a railing or something. I also had a mission in Squadrons that kept crashing in VR and when I played it flat I had the "this isn't right" surreal feeling. It's weird when a game like that just feels more natural in VR now.

I can’t comment on the refresh rate because I’m one of those weirdos who can’t really tell the difference and don’t get sick playing VR even at like 45 FPS. My second favorite upgrade (after the screen) is actually the controllers. They feel great, zero issues with batteries coming loose, and the battery life increase is nuts. Got my Q2 on launch day and probably averaged out 1-2 hrs per day since then - have replaced the controller batteries ONCE and the second set is still going strong. How they went from battery life measured in hours to apparently weeks is wizardry to me.

Having never played the original one, Myst is very cool in VR. I also like that there’s basically zero handholding. For note-taking so far I’ve been taking screenshots. I am pretty sure the puzzles are going to become more obtuse and will outgrow screenshots.

Noticed this market share table in a recent BBC article: I hadn't previously heard of DPVR; seems like they're similar to Pico but with more of a focus on consumer sales rather than enterprise? They don't currently offer a 6DoF standalone product but they do make both 3DoF standalone and 6DoF PC headsets so if they're able to put those two technologies together that could be a viable Quest alternative for people who mostly care about media and wireless PC VR. It's also interesting to see how little difference there is between numbers that make Oculus think "we're selling so many headsets, business is booming" and numbers that make Sony think "we're not selling any headsets, time to exit the market". And somewhat amusing that Reverb, Index and every Microsoft headset all get bundled away into "Others".

Second half numbers are going to look pretty different for Oculus at least I think, and I wouldn’t be surprised if other manufacturers got some lift from the Quest 2’s success and visibility.

But all the evidence I've seen is that they're not interested in doing anything with it right now.
