So my VR Ears finally arrived this afternoon and.... they're pretty great, actually  . Sound is amazing, and I was worried it had a bit of a hum initially but just needed to turn up the SteamVR volume and turn DOWN the volume on the VR Ears. Lone Echo 2 sounds amazing if you wave your thrusters about, and I can't wait to try H3VR with these.For anyone else who has a Vive Pro and is getting/wants these, you'll need a Phillips-00 screwdriver to do a bit of minor surgery on your headset. Aside from the obvious bit of removing the earpods and replacing them with the plastic covers, you have to remove the cable guide on the left side of the headset strap. There's three tiny screws along its length you'll need to undo and it'll pop free. The cable can just hang free thanks to the cable guide on the back of the headset with no issue, and just don't install the guide for the top-left strap of the left VR Ear pod, because it'll mount on the groove.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfhEz7pURaI IGN gave it 9/10 and are pretty happy with it. I’m sure I’ll end up getting it but I’m going to wait until I can see exactly what is and isn’t in it in terms of extra content / rewards. I know Mercenaries and Ada aren’t in but is the same NG+ progression of keeping permanent/unlimited unlocks in place? Does professional make any additional changes in VR? Is the Plaguas Remover or the rest of the special weapons moved to other sections in terms of obtaining them or has it all been simply removed? I’m a sucker for yet another RE4 port, but if the game is strictly just the campaign with no incentive for replays, I’ll happily wait for a sale.

Turin Turambar posted:Oh look ,I was right! 1990€ (+taxes) That's pretty much as-expected given their other products. I'm more surprised there's no audio solution beyond "use earbuds", or an effort to integrate the Index's audio system just to make it as premium as possible. What's frustrating about it is you couldn't even try to mount VR Ears onto that thing to work around that problem, because there's so stuff bolted onto the sides of the straps there's nowhere to even try it.

So odds that we'll see any Quest 2 deals this holiday season? My Quest 1 is making GBS threads the bed (cracks in the case due to other issues causing it to drop guardian a bunch), and I would like to upgrade. I'm happy to pay full but if there is probably going to be some $100 black friday deal I'll be annoyed if I don't wait another few weeks. All the same things you can do with Quest 1 in terms of sideload/custom beat saber etc you can still do with Quest 2 right?

Probably not going to be major hardware deals since they did a minor refresh recently to make the base storage 128gb and it's still selling like crazy. You might get $10-25 off if you're lucky but it's no way going to be as heavy at $100 off unless they're absolutely rabid about selling more. And yes it's still the same OS on it so sideloading Beat Saber mods works the same way.

We also added two new cards, a new lamp and some improvements for the overall game experience. We hope you enjoy it! I had the issue with the magic wall.

Sure seems to be a lot of whining about censorship and “historical erasure” in the comments on these here RE4VR reviews, guess I’ll go look up wtf they’re talking about…. They, uh, removed the “ballistics = boobies” lines.  Edit: ok removing the “I thought you’d be older” line is kinda strange but I’m ok with it as long as it doesn’t set a precedent for removing all the “lol Sam ur old” radio slams in some future Splinter Cell remake.

There were a pair of lines where I thought 'oh, they are not THAT bad, as to need to remove them' (not the ballistics one). But in total it seems they changed 5-6 sentences in the entire game, so yeah, people like to get outraged.

I think there’s some merit to the conversation since it’s pretty funny to trim/cut out all the flirty cheesy lines from a 15 year old game obviously going for a B-Horror film style back then. Doubly so when it’s a classic game in every sense of the word that has been ported to literally every other console / gaming system including the Nintendo Switch and not once has the idea of editing the game had been considered because… who’s ever complained about this poo poo before??? And triply so because it’s the obvious American stereotype of censoring the (barely) sexual innuendo out of a game that features zombies, horribly violent deaths, and generally a ton of super graphic combat where you’re mowing down hundreds of zombified villagers and cultists. But it’s also such a little thing (literally like 6 lines/scenes total were cut) that has no bearing on the actual meat of the game (gameplay) that I can’t be bothered to really care about it. My grievances with the port are the obvious lack of Mercenaries, Ada, and possibly more. I still can’t find any information of what exactly is in the game outside of the campaign and the shooting gallery training.

I deleted my Facebook years ago when they did something particularly horrible. When I got my Quest 2 I tried to go slinking back to my old account but they wouldn't let me. Strangely enough it was because they thought my name was fake. I have a last name that gets a lot of reactions from people, and in between my first and second account creations it was the title of a popular TV show. Facebook happily took a fake last name though, and they haven't touched my account since.

They're mostly just looking for human-like behaviour really. The big fuckup was the Quest 2 launch when a whole lot of people made throwaway accounts for their new headset relatively-simultaneously and heuristically it made Facebook's account AI upset because it looked like someone was making a shitload of bot accounts so *BAN-BAN-BAN*

There’s a few full playthroughs on YouTube already and I’ve been glancing through them. Game looks/play real well. The attache/marchant UI looks a little too cluttered and small but manageable if you’re used to the systems. Feels like they could have maximized the virtual space and make it less cramped, tho. Still can’t find any clips on special weapons or professional mode but I assume at least professional is in. Full motion + dual wield is absolutely hilarious to see in action. Completely breaks the game in a “this is fun as hell” way

You're right and if we all walk more we can stop climate change. Stop buying into the propaganda that the buck stops with personal responsibility as opposed to the garbage mega corporations. Spoiler alert:. I don't own a quest or any VR device made by oculus.

I read two interesting things about RE4VR: -It seems it actually works in the Quest 1 ! People have tried sideloading it and it works. Not sure how well, they say it runs fine. -The resolution in Quest 2 is 1728 x 1904, which is higher than the default resolution most games use.

It's too bad that a high-end headset goes for "use earbuds". I'm a little surprised to see this from a "headset quality above all" company because while earbuds are a good way to pipe sound directly into a person's brain, it's also a powerful way for your brain to flag the sound as "not real". In other words, earbuds are good for music but bad for (virtual) immersion. Maybe Varjo's quality focus is less on the experience as a whole and more on the HMD and visuals alone, leaving audio up to the user.

I mean I still use my index audio 95% of the time because I'm lazy, but if I wanna get ultra immersed, i plunk in some earbuds and close out the world. I wonder if thats down to the hearing aids? Have a buddy who VRs and uses BT ones so I think he just ties into the BT and uses that instead of headset audio.

Hearing aids that can accept bluetooth directly are nice, but not all of them can do that. I had a pair that did, once, but things sounded "off" when using them that way, so it was more about convenience than anything. Off-ear audio allows my ears and hearing aids to just work, uh, naturally I guess I would call it. Between eyeglasses and astigmatism and hearing aids, I gotta tell you poo poo feels like a pain in the rear end a lot of time. I take my rays of sunshine where I can get them.
