It does, but you have to load it up first then select VR on the main menu; you can do that from within VR itself so it isn't too painful.

King Vidiot posted:Yeah, the cutscene screen starts out in a sane position, like around eye height, but every time after the first it's down in the floor and there's no way to reset it that I can see. Clicking the left stick to reset your view in game works the same way during a cutscene. I haven't played Hitman since Blood Money but bought H3 today on Steam to play in VR. It.... owns?? It's insanely janky but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. It's taking some getting used to but I can already feel myself developing an understanding of how to, like, navigate around the jank while still accomplishing objectives and having fun. Maybe this is how Star Citizen players feel.... I'm at the 90 min mark so I can still refund it if I want to, but I'm inclined to just hold out and hope a future hotfix at least improves the shooting mechanics. I don't really have any interest in playing it flat. I just want to walk around beautiful locales and murk ppl tbh The Walrus posted:Does hitman have a mod community?

From a couple days ago, but I just got mine as well. Was a bit leery about getting lens from Europe, but I just tried them out and it is so nice not having to wedge my big rear end glasses into the headset or wearing my contacts even longer.

I can only speak for the PSVR version of Hitman 3, but at least there if you squeeze the right trigger partially instead of all the way you get a red light cone to help with aiming, and it switches to a laser sight if you go a little bit further than that. Kind of tricky to manage when things get hectic, but it really helps when you need to land a stealthy shot.

BabyRyoga posted:Lookup "Claw Grip". Not sure if it's even possible to do harder songs while holding the controllers the normal way. It absolutely is, up until a couple of weeks ago the #3 ranked player globally played on a quest 2 with default grip and default offsets. He's since changed his controller offsets slightly but still just uses default grip. There's nothing intrisically wrong with it but if you have super sweaty hands like I do then claw grip is definitely easier to hold onto as you've got your fingers going over the top of the controller which stops it sliding out of your hand. You need to put some tape or something along the top edge of the tracking ring though because it's pretty sharp.

I got Netflix and Prime Video both working and neither of them has any 3d content. I mean Prime has one (1) piece of content, and it's some kind of VR experience of that show The Loop. Ok show I guess, bailed after a few episodes, whatever. So yeah, totally bereft. I was hoping at least Amazon would have the kind of movie content you'd get in the theater with the glasses. Pretty decent stereoscopic stuff of things that were filmed in 3d like Avatar, or converted in post-production. Netflix says they don't offer 3d tv support anymore, though they used to. So now that VR is becoming a thing for real, seemingly, should we hope for that kind of content to come over, or is it too costly/laborious to do it? Maybe it's too costly for streaming? I'm pretty sure some new movies in the theater are being shown in 3D. I didn't check, but it sounds like you can rent them on Prime. What's the deal?

It's the same thing as with 4K, they want you to fork out 40 dollars for a blu ray edition (which cannot be played on PC without ripping them or using an approved player).

Playing a bit of Hitman III and hoo-boy can you tell this was a PSVR game with minimal changes.
What's frustrating is you could fix all this in about the span of an afternoon. I could do this myself if this was built in Unity. (The last one looks complex, but I'm relatively-certain I could fudge it with a LookAt constraint without needing to dip into the Big Boy VRIK stuff; Look at left hand from the right hand, now the left hand pivots the gun!)

EbolaIvory posted:Double check your floor but unless its scuffed its probably just you. Not like, trying to be a dick but upswings tend to be harder than downswings in general and you dont need "wide" swings to 110 or we wouldn't be 90%ing maps in the 500+ PP range. Days later but you're right - I wanted to try it before I went "NUH UH IM GREAT IT"S THE COULUS THAT SUCKS." My upswing had a bunch of motion, but not much angle change, like I was picking up something heavy, and that's the issue. My down swings were more of a twirl and that's why scored better. The oculus didn't have anything to do with it.

Is there any reason I need to be logged into my Oculus/Facebook account on my Quest 2 when I pretty much exclusively use it for PC games over Oculus Link? I've done a bit of a password audit recently and it's asking me to log into my Facebook/Oculus account. The passwords are 64 character monstrosities, and I don't think there's a way I can copy paste them. Everything seems to be working fine from an Oculus Link side of things, just wondering if I'm going to run into issues down the line.

I despise Facebook and put off buying a Quest 2 for ages because of the Facebook account requirement but then gave in. Everything is locked down to the max. The headset in Link mode works. There is just a prompt to sign into Facebook and/or Oculus that pops up whenever I try to access Quest stuff, which I don't use. Just worried it might rule me out of updates and stuff.

Are all methods of streaming the Oculus to a TV equal in efficacy? I tried streaming by going to the Oculus website's casting section on the TV browser and then connecting that directly with the headset. It was horribly choppy/laggy. Does this just mean my internet is the limitation and all other methods will suck as well? I have an LGC1 TV so unless I buy a chromecast separately, I think my options are pretty limited.

It usually is just a little bit behind (and the iPhone does not let you mute the phone while casting so Beat Saber has delayed music playing). My wife challenged me to beat saber last night so she went and then gave me the headset. Screen went black, then lit up like it was starting, then went black. I pushed the power button and the oculus logo popped up but it went black again. It took powering down and restarting the headset twice to get it to go. After that, we could not watch from the oculus app. It would just show a gray screen instead of what the oculus was showing.

(Or other systems, just for knowledge I guess.) The NBA will occasionally have VR games in the Venues app (like, once every three weeks) and it was pretty neat but the video quality was poo poo so not really worth watching a whole game that way. This was also last season so maybe it's better now or they're not doing it anymore. This was the only live sports event I ever saw advertised on the quest though.

So I apologize in advance for asking a question that may have already been answered, but how is the game library for the Quest 2? I have a pretty old rear end PC (GeForce 1050 Ti and Intel I5-2500K cpu), so I have a feeling that excluding things like RE4 I'm going to be locked out of a lot of the quality games, right? My concern is buying it and (even with a PC link) being restricted to most of what's on Zucks store, which a lot of it looks like shovelware/indie trash/music games. I have no problem spending money and getting something goofy like that bar fight game, if say I can run that on my PC, so low quality isn't always a horrible barrier. I just want to know how decent the Quest 2 non-PC link games are in terms of quality and availability. Also what accessories are considered, you must get this, it should have be included with the system? Shame that VR can't work through cloud gaming as I WOULD love to try Hitman PCVR using GeForce Now.

E: I misread what you’re asking, let’s try again Yeah a 1050ti isn’t great but it will drive a PCVR game. I put tons of time into elite dangerous, iracing, pokerstars and rec room on a 1050ti and an AMD FX-8350, you’ll just have to turn the graphics and potentially the render resolution down. Honestly you may be more hamstrung by that cpu than anything. Physics heavy games like boneworks are definitely a no go on that cpu Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Jan 22, 2022 |

Quest 2 is the primary development for VR games these days, to the point where there are platform exclusives like Resident Evil 4 VR, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, as well as time limited exclusives that eventually got ports to PCVR. Your PC should technically be able to run some games in VR, Minecraft will work, but Half Life Alyx, Skyrim VR and most car/plane sims are out. Get a head strap, though keep in mind that even the official options have issues with plastic breaking rendering them useless. Some people don't run into it, but fwiw the best head strap is either the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap and 3D printed adapters so it fits the Quest 2, or one of the PSVR Halo-style straps (the BoboVR M2 is popular and comfortable, but mine broke lol). Some people have been able to play PCVR over Shadowplay, I presume they live next door to a datacenter or have vestibular systems of steel.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:E: I misread what you’re asking Yeah, the CPU has been around since 2011 (I built the computer for Deus Ex Human Revolution originally), but the graphics card was around when BF1 came out. On the plus side I have 24gb of ram (when I upgraded I was lucky enough to find a pair that would run with my existing ones). I was surprised when it look like Alyx might even run for my system. I don't mind lower graphics if the gameplay experience is super fun. I'm just concerned about being hamstrung with shovelware. Stuff like this or Vader's quest is fine though. https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1196665787048646 Sam and Max game also looks awesome. EDIT: Thanks for the additional info. Being able to play Skyrim or Alyx would be perfect for me. I consider those to be the type of options I was hoping for. What is sidequest though? It's funny I'm actually considering this because, no one really uses the PS5 I got (besides Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding, but I can just play that on GeForce if I ever want), just the Series X. It's also good that the hardware is quality and that it's the industry leader, which is not too surprising since it is Carmack running it iirc.

Skyrim and Alyx won't work. At least not well, they'll technically run but would stutter to the point where they might give you a headache. Alyx scales pretty well, but chokes on less than ~3GB VRAM, SkyrimVR requires 1070-level rendering performance and hammers CPU pretty hard in cities.

There are plenty of good games on the standalone Quest 2. For me personally it wouldn't have 100% justified the purchase, but you'll be able to run enough PCVR stuff that (again, for me) it's worth it overall. Chances are you won't get worthwhile performance out of the likes of Alyx and Boneworks, but we're talking a very very small part of the VR library there. Speaking of Quest 2 standalone I started playing RE4 and it's great, I know this game like the back of my hand but the perspective and controls are enough to make me feel like I'm 14 again. It's a pity it's Quest exclusive because the graphical concessions are a bit jarring (Ganados blowing up in a small ugly 2D fireball with Quake 1 level blood chunks) but it's not a big deal Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jan 22, 2022 |
