I've wanted to replay Time Crisis for ages, and if there's a good way to do it in VR then I am there. Especially the PS1 version, which had an extra story mode.

is there a way to play with just the game or does that tv look bigger in vr

There is a hack to play it with a mouse on PC but it's not the same. I've also seen modded lightguns that work with modern screens somehow, but they are pricey.

the Unofficial Skyrim Patch is a pain in the rear end to get because Arthmoor is a gently caress, but that's really more of a topic for the Skyrim Mods thread.

Trying to get an old version of the unofficial patch made me feel like I was doing something illegal with the amount of offshore websites and decoders and poo poo I had to go through to download it. How up your own rear end do you have to be to actively run around DMCA'ing rehosts of an older version of a patch?

quote:

Next month, we are rolling out two of the most requested features from our VR community: Multi-User accounts, the ability for multiple accounts to log into a single headset; and App Sharing, the ability to share apps with others on the shared device.

With these features, the primary account holder will be able to add secondary accounts to their device and share the apps they purchase with these secondary accounts. Not only will this enable safe sharing, but game progress and achievements will be personalized and saved separately for each account.

[...]

We'll initially launch these features on Quest 2 as experimental and then later roll out to all Quest users. To start, a primary account holder can add up to three secondary accounts and enable App Sharing on a single device. We expect an increasing number of households to have multiple Quest devices, so the App Sharing feature will later expand to allow a primary account holder to share their purchases across multiple devices. As we receive consumer and developer feedback, we may adjust the number of devices and secondary accounts as necessary.

If you have an app in the Oculus Quest store today, your app will automatically be opted in to the App Sharing feature starting February 13, 2021. If your app is required to opt out for contractual or other reasons, you will need to disable App Sharing by February 12, 2021 by visiting your Org Manager page here. Select the app you want to opt-out, navigate to the “Settings” tab and choose “App Sharing.” Existing Rift, Go, and Gear apps are not affected by this new policy.

Starting February 13, 2021, all new apps submitted to the Oculus platform, including Rift and Quest apps, will need to support App Sharing as further described in our updated App Policies.

[...]

Additional Protections In Place

To use Multi-User and App Sharing, the primary account holder and the secondary accounts must each log in to the shared device using their own Facebook accounts.

Secondary account holders can only launch the primary owner’s eligible shared app entitlements on the shared device. If the secondary account holder purchases their own device or already has their own device, they won't be able to access the primary owner’s shared apps on their new headset.

Only the secondary accounts on the shared device may use the primary user’s app entitlements, including certain in-app purchases or DLC if permitted.

Secondary account holders may purchase their own apps and content on the shared device, but cannot share these apps with the primary account holder or other secondary accounts.

An Oculus user who enables App Sharing can log in to multiple devices simultaneously but cannot run the same app with their account on more than one device at a time. Different accounts can run the shared app simultaneously, subject to the device limitation mentioned above.

The primary user cannot be changed without a factory reset. A primary user can add secondary accounts, but secondary accounts cannot add other accounts.

I'm curious, and confused.

But enough about my sexuality, what's this situation about? From context it seems the author of the Unofficial Skyrim patch mod is for some reason attempting to ensure people can't use his mod in Skyrim VR? ...but why?

I just got an Oculus developer email and there's good news about multiple accounts.

Theres been some good discussion on it over the years, lemming posted that one great video, there was another i couldn't find of the robo recall devs discussing the small inertia given to guns in it, but its one of those things that instantly separates polished VR experiences for me, is if the guns feel *good* (even if its ignoring 1:1 mapping with your actual movements) or if they feel like laser pointers.

Screen size was my main worry, so that's good to know. I am going to blow off work on Friday afternoon and get busy with Time Crisis.

Only issue with emuvr so far, which might actually be simple to fix, is I can't seem to get games that use both the controller and the zapper to work properly, it seems to be one or the other when it comes to light gun.

For example, Konami's Lone Ranger on NES. Most of it is played using the NES controller, but there are several first person segments that use the zapper AND the controller, zapper to shoot and controller to change your faced direction.

I tinkered around with it last night and it does seem like the default keyboard controls still work so I can technically play it a little if I scoot up to my desk and clumsily use my keyboard, but my efforts to rebind them to the controller resulted in the light gun not working when I pulled the trigger.

Despite this, it is fuckin' buck wild getting to play poo poo like Hogan's Alley again, holy poo poo.

There's no understating how much even a tiny bit of feedback like inertia helps with giving a sense of substance in VR. I've been screwing around with setting up and adjusting physics constraints for the hands and picked up objects in my welding sim, and it just gives an uncanny natural feel for how heavy objects are.

Also one thing a lot of VR games seem to miss is having good haptics. Either they have none, or it's like receiving a phone call every time you do something. Just having an extremely subtle pulse when you touch a surface with an object you are carrying gives objects a ridiculous amount of substance.

Finger tracking is nice too.

So Emu VR uses retroarch, can I just have an Xbox controller handy if I wanted to play like a gamecube game or something or do you use an in game controller? I'm pretty fascinated by it and want to try it with my friend if the net play doesn't work but I'm still unsure on how you control non-lightgun games.

Does anyone else with an Index notice that some things seem to pop out of the virtual screen when looking at the desktop in the headset? When I'm looking at my discord window, everything that is red or mostly red feels like it pops out of the screen.

I don't know about NES, but using a bluetooth gamepad, works just fine with house of the dead 2 on dreamcast, where you need to do the menuing with the controller. I don't know that you can do the motion controllers as the gamepad and the lightgun though, you might need to just use a separate gamepad.

The fingers crawling on the ground is so creepy. Theres a lot of potential for weird body horror stuff in vr that hasn't be mined yet. I remember in 'Wilson's Heart' there was a sequence when you had to push your arm through a table saw because your hand was taken over, and then you go around with a stump and its this surreal phantom limb thing going on.

So, VRIK + HIGGS trip report for Skyrim VR: So, I went and fought those bandits that are chilling outside Whiterun, and once I had dispatched them, I physically dug through the loot on their shelves, leaned into the cart they had stolen, picked up a shovel and threw it over my shoulder, and honest-to-god moved dead bandit bodies out of the way so I could check underneath them. If this were any other VR game, that would be elementary stuff, but maaaaaaan there's something about doing it in Skyrim that makes me happy.
