Can I use the PS Gold headset wirelessly with the Vive? has a little usb bluetooth dongle that plugs into the PC. Or do I need to use the 3.5mm jack and connect directly to the headset?

my vive got here finally today, just spent about the last 7 hours straight in vr. brief comments - 1. I`m very sweaty 2. the little baby things in hordez can get hosed, most terrifying enemy in anything ever. christ they scare me. if you don`t literally shriek the first time you look down and see them skittering at you you`re a much braver person than I. 3. I may have slightly fractured my right wrist jumping to try and catch a stray balloon within 15 minutes of putting the thing on. thankfully nothing important (the controller) was hurt 4. audioshield is the tops so far. disagree 100% with ppl who say it doesn`t match the song, anything with a decent beat and you`re golden.

oh, 5, this thing is everything I could have possibly hoped it would be. the sense of being somewhere else is uncanny. also I guess I have great vr legs because an hour of windlands did nothing to me except give me wooshy stomach and leg sensations and make my feet itchy.

more first day vive trip reporting Watching my non-gamer girlfriend play Job Sim last night was the most adorable thing. All we've done so far is the clerk job, but she was a complete contrast to me. I was throwing things at people, being generally dissatisfied with the robot customers' behaviour, overcharging people, and essentially making a mess of the place. I finished the module (in the 'large' room formation) buried up to my knees in poo poo. On the other hand, when she was playing (without having seen me), her main goal seemed to be doing a good job and making people happy. She made sure to charge everyone for exactly what they had bought - the couple times she screwed up she tried to make it right in other ways (like the rich guy who wanted 'anything', she had accidentally rung through something before he came in, and the last customer had taken it for free. so she gave the rich guy a beef jerky but was sure to scan it at regular and then jumbo size it on the house). She took a lot of gratification out of getting the tickets into the recycling bins across the room, and when she was robbed she made sure to adjust the camera angle on the security video so it captured the bandit. her only concession to the dark side was her collection of spite hotdogs. if someone was a jerk or an idiot and only if their request allowed for it (give me a hotdog! or give me something for free, etc), they got a burned spite hotdog. (handed to them politely) this is all even after I told her there was no grading at all and she wouldn't be judged at the end vr is amazing and really puts you there, with just the smallest suspension of disbelief, is basically what I'm getting at The Walrus fucked around with this message at 20:26 on May 31, 2016 |

Oh yeah no I do, which is why I allow my mind to sort of 'get into it' that much as it were. I really enjoy trying to put myself into these realities as much as I possibly can - it's like playing imaginary games like a kid but technology-assisted This lead to a great moment last night in the new wizard game thing when you go into the second crystal ball. without giving what happens away I picked up a weapon and shield and strode to meet the sound bravely, sticking my chest out as far as it would go. threw my shield away defiantly and went into a two handed low sword stance just before it was revealed what was coming into the room. lol. edit: by the way. holoball. oh my god. oh my god, holoball. love it. really need to get better lanyards asap though for that game only, the speed I'm swinging those things if I do ever slip they're gonna fly.

can we just go back to one VR thread, it makes no sense for there to be two just so there's one for knifegrab to act like a child in. there's been lots of civil anti-oculus discussion in this thread so the other thread literally just exists for him at this point.

My inner child hopes against hope for the day Valve says 'oh hey half life 3, it's out, go download it, oh and it's vr' but no it'll never happen. it honestly frustrates me so much and I don't get frustrated by anything else in the games industry. why not just admit that you're not working on it anymore?!? it must be super annoying being asked about it all the time, so just fuckin put it to bed already edit: holoball? holoball. is good. holoball!

Poetic Justice posted:You guys know that white noise/snow you get on old school televisions when turned to a channel that you don't get? How cool would it be to have a VR experience of that, where that is all you see and hear. As a musician, I know I hear music in my head when all I can here is white noise, I wonder if visual artists see things in it as well. I know this sounds weird but whatever. sounds like a great way to give someone a seizure

Bhodi posted:The wobbly is when it's lost external tracking and is going on internal gyros alone. The rift tracking method is headset gyros and then constantly correcting for drift using the external camera, so it's going in and out which happens at max range or if it can't see 3 tracking LEDs. wait so touch roomscale will be 3x3m max? I look forward to hearing this from knifegrab for the next forever

El Grillo posted:Ordered a Rift on May 11th, turns out it's on its way now - originally they predicted August shipping date. Guess they're really catching up now. Of course, the emails telling me this went into my spam folder so I only found out because my bank contacted me to tell me I was overdrawn on my current account :facepalm: it is very difficult and expensive to ramp up production timelines, especially if you don't have an existing manufacturing infrastructure like oculus. so I'm guessing this is a direct result of order cancellations.

quote:Interestingly, this boundary wasn’t actually just a line; it appeared as a piece of barbed wire, fitting with Dead & Buried’s Western aesthetic. This suggests of course that developers may have the ability to style the Oculus boundary system to suit their game. Chaperone on the HTC Vive, on the other hand, can be customized by the user, but I haven’t ever seen it styled on a developer controlled, per-application basis. not a good idea

once in bigscreen I changed the screen scale and position so that I was somehow tiny and stuck inside the couch in the living room/apartment environment, and couldn't get out. it was eerily similar to a salvia trip i had once. edit: speaking of drugs and vr, has anyone tried a hallucinogen with their headset? I sort of suspect I would feel claustrophobic and would just feel like there's a screen two inches from my face rather than it being anything immersive or interesting, but it might be cool. I did play a bunch of SPT while doing lines of coke the other day and let me tell you that poo poo is incredibly, incredibly fun. The Walrus fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Sep 29, 2016 |

The new vertigo demo has some monkey bar and ladder traversal and they both feel great. As far as vr unique genres driven by movement I've been saying for ages that there is a ton of potential for wheelchair sims. Imagine a survival horror game where you wheel around with a shotgun in your lap, or a wheelchair basketball game.

ahaha never thought I'd be one of the fools this would happen to. I am in the process of moving and had our bedroom totally cleared out. 4x4.5m of space. obviously set it up for VR. Raw Data was so much fun as I was running around, flanking dudes and getting back attacks left and right. now, I am used to my smaller space, where I know that a full overhead swing won't hit anything if my feet are on the ground. unfortunately just a few feet away from that, and well in my new play area, is a light fixture. well I should say was a light fixture. one very enthusiastic overhead sword swing later and I showered myself, my watching gf and my friend with glass. went right through the fixture and smashed the bulb in half too. was lucky not to cut my hand worse than I did, just a bit of blood and the controller was fine. so keep in mind, if you ever change/expand your play area, you need to refamilarize yourself with what's dangerous and what's not, especially if you are used to certain motions being 100% ok in your previous play area.
