I get it GTA modding dude, a proper VR GTA5 would need to be completely reworked control-wise and that's completely unreasonable to expect. Don't pretend that look to aim isn't garbo tho.

Tip posted:It's already been done, the GTA:Vive mod had full hand controller support. I don't think it's getting updated anymore, and probably no longer works properly, but it looked pretty cool. That does look fun, but the fact that half the video is waving a machine around gun inside a helicopter to aim missiles kinda underscores there's much more work to be done than just making the gun point where the controller does. Regardless if the dude don't wanna he don't wanna. I hope someone else gives it a shot.

AgentF posted:Works amazingly in Vox Machinae, unless we're talking about something else. I just don't think its a a great fit for GTA because its a crime simulator you should be able to do expressive stuff like hold your gun sideways and blind fire from behind cover and shoot in the air to frighten pedestrians.

NRVNQSR posted:It's all theoretically more configurable now. You can create a collection and set it to automatically contain all VR-supporting games in your library. Yeah but before I just had to click on a drop-down and select 'vr' I didn't need to configure anything. The drop down isn't even gone I can filter by games or software the same as before. Its genuinely frustrating how often these UI overhauls just drop established features for no clear reason.

Can confirm, Pistol Whip whips. Definitely feels a bit like both Superhot and Beat Saber despite playing nothing like either. Its a half decent workout with all the ducking and weaving too. edit: Pretty sure the game does rank you at the end of each level, unless there's another explanation as to why my score counter always has a C at the end?

thought so, cool. I read the Ars Technica article and I can't speak to the technical issues myself, works faultlessly for me on Rift S, running the Steam version, steam VR actually booted for the first ever time so I had two virtual living rooms going on in the background even. I do agree with some points though, I played through the first few stages on Easy and I had no Idea there was even a timing element to the gameplay at all (hence the C ranks lol). That could do with some tutorializing at the very least. Its definitely unfair to describe the game as 'early access' though, its pretty standard content wise for an indie VR title,post release content really only sweetens the deal for me.

Not suprising in the slightest that people are mad about Valve finally making another halflife thing but its for VR only. God only knows what would have happened if they stuck a 3 at the end of the title lol. Excited to have a company with infinty money do something in VR, but unless its somehow as groundbreaking as HL2 was I feel like people are going to be disapointed no matter what. I'm not much of a Valve fan though tbh, don't get me wrong Portal 2 had great writing but outside of that Halflife is like the most boring thing to me.

I've only played a little of the first act in The Under Presents, the gameplay in the mystery boat portion reminds me most of Tacoma. Progress and rewind time to follow multiple threads as the story unfolds. I've not encountered any way to actually interact with the story yet. If the game was just the Time Boat I would be happy with my purchase. But its not and after I finished the first act I was taught magic by a group of ghosts then we tried to help a woman with a Cat head make up with a very big crab. This game is amazing, I'm glad I gave it a go while they're still doing these weird little quests with live actors.

Half-life games have traditionally been focus tested to hell and back to guide the player through a series of rigid setpieces so I really don't buy the argument that teleportation locomotion will hinder the design, tbh. I've got good enough VR sealegs that I generally turn off all the anti-nausia poo poo in VR games but I can't imagine thinking a game shouldn't be designed primarily to be playable to people who can't do that, VR is expensive and fractured as hell we need all the accessibility we can get.

Neddy Seagoon posted:The concern is for designing around Teleporting first, not that it exists as an option. It changes a lot about how levels and games are designed for VR. Also I don't think it really makes that much of a difference design wise, especially for a highly scripted corridor shooter.

A peripheral that just a phone shaped sensor with a touch surface could be really cool in vr, like just render the display in the game who needs a screen even. Stick it in your pocket and pull it out to use the menus or check twitter or whatever.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It is fundamentally a 2D display that you touch to interact with for brief tasks. It's not gonna matter a whole lot if your finger dips through it briefly, and it's way more convenient to be able to have something you can place and forget rather than having to physically dig out a phone and look at it. Basically Oculus Dashboard or OVRToolkit, but with touchscreen interaction. Also if I cared about the practicallity and efficiency of the peripherals and tech involved I wouldn't be playing vr games in the first place lol.

Alyx is about what I expected so far, looks good, runs well. I've never actually played a Half life before but this is pretty good so far. Grabbing and stowing ammo feels real nice. I did get stuck in that one area with all the codes on the wall, I felt super dumb once I worked out what I was meant to do lol. Kinda funny that the answer to "how do we follow up a series that's known for introducing genre definging leap forwards in tech and design" turned out to be "be the only company in the world with a compelling reason to spend AAA money on a VR exclusive title".

I'm not a big fan of teleport movement, not because it ruins ~my immersion~ but because I don't like the jarring stop/start rhythm it has. I deffo use it in Alyx whenever I need to backtrack because it's much faster than the smooth movement. I just wish it wasn't so easy to accidentally activate when turning. As for the gun immersion thing Its not a huge deal to me. Like I can handle moving around the game world like I'm on a tiny motorized platform I can stay immersed when using a menu. Holsters would have cool though and every good argument against holsters ignores that there's no reason you couldn't have both a holster system and a weapon menu and let the player use both like how the the movement/teleport works.

Multiplayer only VR Pong with no players that also makes you sick is certainly a thing. Although judging by one review i read the problem is with people tilting their head to move, apparently its much more comfortable if you squat down and shuffle side to side like a crab instead.

Played more Alyx would like to share my gripes with the control scheme. I'm using the hand based smooth movement and it really messes with me whenever I try to do anything with my left hand while moving. The stick moves you relative to the direction the controller is pointing, so when you perform a reload while holding forward you suddenly start moving in all sorts of unexpected directions. I swear at one point I found myself holding backwards on the stick to move forwards. It feels like there should be an easy solution to this, many 3D action games with dynamic cameras will keep the orientation of the stick locked if you keep a direction held during camera movements, so that when the camera changes your character don't change direction. It resets to be relative to the camera again when you let the stick return to neutral. I want something similar in Alyx, I hate how I basically have to stand still to reload. I haven't tried the head relative smooth movement though, maybe thats a bit more usable during combat. Also another gripe, I hate how you get snapped back in bounds if you touch the stick at all if you move your hitbox over a table or whatever. It happens all the time when I'm hunting for supplies. And finally is there a way to cancel the teleport once you pull the stick back? I keep activating it by accident when I'm trying to turn. Anyway these are my gripes, having a blast so far.

Had 2 wierd things happen in Alyx today, first of all I managed to fumble throw my shotgun away. I didn't think you could do that? It disappeared from my weapon menu and everything. It thankfully came back after a bit of confused searching around. Then I managed to do the same thing with my left hand. Just whoops, lost my whole hand somwhere. I gather it got stuck in the geometry but I don't know where it went, I was in the middle of a fairly big room when both these things happened to me. Had to reset to get it back . I hope I'm nearly done with the spooky parts I feel like its been 80/20 spooky/shooty up until now.

Peewi posted:As far as I know, the only ways a gun leaves your hand is when you unequip it or put it in a fabricator. I don't remember if there was an active fabricator in the same level, I guess I could have wanged it across the level and through the geometry like when I lost my left hand and got it stuck in one? If you leave a gun in the fabricator does it magically hop back into you inventory if you don't pick it back out? I have so many questions!!! as for the hand glitch at least other people are reporting it so I don't feel like an insane person. Apparently you can fix it without loading a save if you go into the settings and switch your dominant hand.

Organza Quiz posted:I enjoyed dipping into those levels once a session or so just because it's an interesting brain challenge to find places you can intentionally miss cuts or do wrong cuts without continuing to gently caress up and losing the level. Definitely way different to the normal beat saber experience though. The challenges with the disappearing arrows really helped me get better at reading notes as they spawned in, which was great when I was starting out. I did stop when I got to the 'move your hands as little as possible challenges though, I get the lesson the game was trying to teach but I am at peace with never being a super high scoring player who can beat ghost camellia +++++ or whatevs, please just let me dance.

Still, fuuuuuck I am not looking forward to this. also steel yourself for loving JEFF.

Tip posted:Wow, you're really lucky they replaced the poo poo that you broke. I recently read about somebody who couldn't get their Rift S cable replaced because Oculus said it was their fault for letting it twist too much. Also yes some customer service agents are better to talk to than others due to them being human beings. Generally any agent has the ability to replace parts for free or repair outside of warranty, but will be more or less willing based on ther experience, how much they want to help you and if they think they will get in trouble if they go against policy. Also also remember they're likely being constantly graded on how long each call takes so if you don't waste their time they will like you more.

I loved Obduction when it came out but returning to it in VR is kinda awkward. The VR was added after the fact and I get worse performance in the game than I do in No Mans Sky. Still kinda neat to explore my completed save gile in VR for a bit, but I couldn't stomach a full playthrough. Cyan are however currently working on Firmament, which is supposed to be built from the ground up for VR and I'm hyped for it if it ever comes out.

I finally got around to Audica since it was in the steam sale. I like it a lot. It's just as slick as you'd expect from a harmonix game. I really like how smooth the transition from menu to gameplay is. Feels very good to shoot the notes. Only played the beginner difficulty so far, kinda feels like it won't have as long legs for me as BeatSaber does but mainly because it's less of a workout to play.

Theres a pretty big difference between tapping targets with a stylus on a tiny touchscreen and shoting targets with guns in fully immersive VR! I like the game its great I just prefer the physicality of chopping boxes beatsaber over the abstracted pointing at targets in Audica. Its great if y'all think its the better rhythm game but like all I said is that I personally don't see myself playing it for as long as a game I've been consistently playing since I picked up a PSVR entirely because its not as easy to wear myself out in. I've been eyeing synth riders for a while, it's on the list.
