Doctor_Fruitbat posted:It is THE entry device, until PSVR2 is released, at which point there'll be two. Considering it’ll require you to already own an expensive and hard to obtain PS5 on top of the cost of the headset, I feel like this label is a long way off for the PSVR2.

There was also Zombieland Double Tap which I think was made by the same devs as House of the Dead Overkill which is unfortunate in many ways. I think there are people trying to get various emulators working with VR controllers for lightgun stuff so we might at least have a virtual cabinet at some point.

RE4 with the new movement restriction mode is really good. Much scarier when you need to play it closer to how the movement was intended, and the advantage you get from being able to aim and shoot over your shoulder is nearly counteracted by the panic of needing to reload etc.

Classic movement + fully manual reloading + no laser sight makes the game much more interesting. That said, Unreal Tournamenting through New Game+ is its own type of fun

I'm still disappointed with RE4VR because you can't shoot your hand gun as quickly as you can pull the triggers on your controller. I get why that limitation exists in the flat game, but it really takes me out of it in VR. Maybe that can be modded or something?

Playing around with Virtual Desktop and my latency is consistently around 65, which feels a bit higher than ideal. Looking at the streamer app on my PC, the "about" tab says the latency on that end is 55, I'm not sure exactly what that's referencing but it's a wired Ethernet connection so that seems higher than expected - does that mean the problem is (possibly) on my PC end? Been testing it with Blade and Sorcery which I understand is a bit of a janky game when it comes to performance anyway, so I expect a certain amount of stuttering/frame drops when throwing people into each other or whatever - it just feels like it's all streaming a bit sluggishly and the display sometimes gets unpleasantly... smeary. The framerate counter never goes below 80 or so and it certainly doesn't feel that smooth. It's not a disaster and it does work but I feel like I could get it smoother. Setup is PC with wired connection into a TP Link range extender in my office room, playing the Quest in my living room on 5ghz (only device using 5ghz) on my lovely Virgin Media router (which is a top suspect for being part of the problem, no WiFi 6 or whatever) I also haven't played around too much with the Virtual Desktop or SteamVR settings, to be honest I don't really know what I'm doing with the various bitrate options and it doesn't explain them all that well

If there isn't a single ethernet cable going from pc to router isn't 'wired ethernet'. A wifi extender will introduce tons of latency. Even ethernet over powerline will have some extra latency (and tons of jitter in my experience).

Turin Turambar posted:I have one too, and I tried to use Steam link with it years ago, the experience wasn't good. That's why I said powerline is still not like real ethernet. It's just using whatever copper cable is in your walls to carry current and relatively unsuited to the task of carrying network traffic. There's no way to fix that that doesn't involve a professional running CAT6 cable through your walls.

Hey I took a break from my Quest 2 for a year or so after formatting my computer and becoming lazy but I’m ready to jump back in and maybe finally finish Alex. In 2022 do I need to install virtual desktop and all that stuff to get good wireless VR going or has Air Link officially removed the need? Anything else cool or terrible happen to the platform while I was gone?

Some people have better performance with VD but if you don't want to be bothered you're probably good to just try AirLink.

Speaking of shooters, I've recently been trying Payday 2 for a bit and I'm having a surprisingly good time with it. It's a fun, more arcadey change of pace from the relatively more "realistic" shooters like Onward or Pavlov. I was initially a bit skeptical with having no manual reloads and barely needing to use the sights, but playing a round where I ended up frantically repairing the drill with one hand while spraying my rifle over my shoulder with the other to hold off cops showed me that it works really well in practice. And with the lower difficulties being so forgiving, you can totally do dumb poo poo like dualwielding Desert Eagles and practicing gun katas in the middle of the street.

For what it's worth, Virtual Desktop now supports wireless streaming out of the box without having to mess around with SideQuest. I haven't tried Air Link yet but I hear it's serviceable.

Nope, you put it on, launch Link and then you can bring up your normal desktop through that. Games on the Oculus store will be easily launched through the Library panel but for Steam games you launch them normally but you'll have that little launch option box pop up and you just tell it to launch in Steam VR mode. I'd recommend against launching in Oculus VR mode for non-Oculus store games since in my experience that can lead to some controller issues.

This is, of course, completely anecdotal, but I went from a powerline setup to a TP Link mesh network and have not had any issues. My PC is hooked up to one of the nodes and the modem is across the house. Being wired in directly would be best, of course, but I play Pavlov all the time with no issues.

My nephew loves the game and just this last weekend I dug out my PSVR to show him Minecraft vr. He’s played my Quest 2 plenty, but he was absolutely mesmerized by Minecraft VR. Just a big smile on his face as he was suddenly placed in the world. He loved the scale of mountains and caves. He realllllly like the new flying mechanic the game implemented. Minecraft is perfect for VR and it sucks MS hasn’t let anyone other than Sony get an official VR release

forest spirit posted:yeah My biggest issue with it has always been audio in/out for my extremely specific use case. I like to play Phasmophobia on SteamVR with a friend while in party chat AND the game listening to our mic's on the side. Getting that working through VD was a nightmare. I just tested it using Air Link and so far it's been plug and play working. I haven't tested it while in party chat yet but if the Oculus software is running it I'm assuming we can just voice up in that.
