Picked up PaintingVR
It looks neat but I just don't know what I'm doing. There are no presets and I dunno the button layout. There is an in game browser that is pretty neat and you can export your art to the Oculus not just as a screenshot.

I guess im going to have to join the discord to find out more but its gonna take more than 2 hours for me to get any firm feelings

I didn't find PaintingVR very useful to me. I'm entirely a novice but whenever I tried an idea in PaintingVR I basically ran into "it doesn't do that [very well]". This was back when I paid for an early copy via sidequest but I never went back to it. (and from a consumer mentality point of view: lol at paying for it "twice" now that it has a real release even if I did think it was okay, which I do not)

Then I got Vermillion (PC version) and hell yeah, that's what a painting app is supposed to be like.

This was happening in the v39 PTC as well - and across the entire HMD (ie: Virtual Desktop and even native titles like ping pong were all limited to 72hz).

38 and 39 both seem really buggy and it’s loving dumb you can’t downgrade considering how some of the reported bugs basically force you to wipe the device (and possibly still not fix the problem).

Eg: if you’re on v38 and play with guardian off, make SURE you turn that poo poo back on or disable updates. Updating to v39 PTC with guardian off required a factory reset and I wouldn’t be surprised if that particular bug made it out of PTC.

oh don't worry about it, it's just a cheeky little bug.
it's alright. it's definitely not A/B testing to see how much outrage there will be if they remove the feature for good.
really, it's cool. it's totally not part of their plan to deprecate PCVR in a few years so people are forced into the metabooculus ecosystem (where valve etc. don't get any money)

Quoting myself. 70 minutes to go.

Past year they showed (so we can compare):

-The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners update Aftershoks
-Star Wars: Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge Part II
-Star Wars Pinball VR
-I Expect You To Die 2
-Wraith - The Oblivion: Afterlife
-Resident Evil 4 VR
-Lone Echo II
-Carve Snowboarding
-After the Fall
-Pistol Whip: Smoke & Thunder
-Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sister
-The Climb 2, un DLC

I also expect a short video announcing the hand tracking 2.0 update and another for the new wifi usb thing. It's more doubtful if they will talk/show/officially announce the Cambria device, this in theory is just a 'gaming showcase', not something to announce their new shiny headset. As much, they could do an 'announcement of announcement', saying 'at future date xx we will present our new hardware'.

I hope oculus gets it together then with media production because they still use steamvr and its not looking like they are trying very loving hard not to. MRC sucks.

Plus openxr. So whatever.

So most games videos and marketing stuff is captured using steamvr copies of games, trackers, and a quest on combined playspaces using things like LIV for mixed reality.

They don't have the tools internally to "do" that kind of poo poo outside of MRC at the moment and its pretty trash. Its getting better, but its still not nearly as good as doing things steamvr side. So any time you see true "mixed reality" its probably LIV and a combo of steamvr poo poo.

I've worked on a few sets for oculus. Its pretty hilarious.

I don't doubt eventually they'll stop needing that kind of support but sooo many titles still use steamvr for that kind of thing I just don't see it happening anytime soon. At least "killing pcvr support" entirely ya know? More so with openxr hopefully becoming a standard.

Ah ok. Yeah, some marketing videos use pc version of the games (which is always questionable, when it's presented as if it was Quest), and all that.

For now we knew almost everything announced (Red Matter 2, Espire 2, both gave hints in tweets).

Red Matter 2 is looking bigger and now with action too. Espire 2 is bringing coop and more possibilities like different frames (action vs stealth).

Wow, ending it on a no gameplay and no details cinematic teaser for a game.

From the store listing:
Who they gonna call? You! Strap on your proton pack and Meta Quest 2 and step into the world of Ghostbusters in immersive virtual reality. Run your Ghostbusters HQ in a new city, San Francisco, and solve a deep mystery across a new chapter in the Ghostbusters universe. Track, blast, and trap ghosts in gripping encounters by wielding iconic equipment. Go it alone, or as a team with up to three friends in co-op, in an extensive and engrossing campaign. Continue the Ghostbusters’ legacy, protect the city from fiendish ghosts, and experience all the humor and frights from the beloved franchise.

So a 4 player co-op Ghostbusters VR game, that's actually something I've been wanting! So I hope it's good, impossible to say from that loving trailer.

Honestly I don't think even necessarily need "new" ideas for games for the market to expand. There is plenty of space to grow within the current sets of game ideas if the developers were to sand down more of the jank involved with VR gaming. Even your most bog standard military shooter could use a lot more polish in terms of ease of use and movement detection. And where is my Hunt: Showdown style western monster shooter, developers?

It's just that "smoother detection and aiming" doesn't sell well on marketing copy so you get stupid poo poo like Medal Of Honor VR The Documentary that has all these gimmicks slapped on that don't add anything.
