Tom Guycot posted:I'm going to say ~2-3 hour experience, and some arcade shooting range or something mode in it too for replay ability. Some kind of 'gravity gloves' to explain away being able to pick up stuff from a distance, teleport locomotion movement through some aperture portal mini device thing. Physics puzzles that involve picking up and stacking things, no complicated weapon mechanics like h3vr/onward, etc, climbing featured. ‘Flagship VR game’ kinda suggests a bigger campaign than that I reckon. Guess we’ll see. (For all we know right now we just play the lifecycle of a face crab...) Still, I for one am excite!

Thoatse posted:Has anyone played Vector36? It's on sale right now and looks like fun.. It wasn’t quite for me, but trying to like it was distracting... Think you’ve got to really like vehicle tuning and physics tinkering to get the best out of it: quote:I knew this sim was going to have a heavy learning curve. That's why I held off buying it. And dear lord have I slammed belly first into its perpendicular planes. quote:Started from scratch, stuck some stubby, sturdy heat sinks next to the existing ones, and now I can boost for ages without barrel-rolling madly. I still plummet like a giant iron duck whenever the boost finally maxes out, but I can use the emergency cushioning jets and still brute-force myself back into the game.

Suburban Dad posted:Are there any good bow or archery type games you guys can recommend? I played the minigame in The Lab and it was pretty great but short. My shoulder was dying after a few minutes of holding the bow up and I obviously need more pain. I don't really want to play skyrim again as an archer, FYI. Sacralith is pretty sweet for a simple concept. You teleport to vantage points to keep your tanky NPC companions safe against swarms of grunts and magical beasts as they fight through the levels. There’s a decent unlock tree of magical arrows, and things ramp up a fair bit, so you’ll need them on top of headshots to get through. (The swamp arrow is a bit OP though). It feels like they ran out of cash and just tapped out, so the story is awful, and the skill tree only fully accessible on replays. But the graphics are snazzy, the opening song utterly bizarre, and you get to ride an elephant... Pixelate fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Feb 2, 2021 |

FreelanceSocialist posted:Well, I'm sold. The elephant bit is actually the worst level. (Many elephants will die, and it is all your fault. Also their ears seem to be arrow magnets). I still love that they did it though. The opening song is the best eccentric touch. 3 dubious Crusaders appear out of the dark and regale you with a chirpy, stilted, story song. (You realise later that the game put a tambourine in your hand, and the weird off-beat rhythm was you all along...)

Chekans 3 16 posted:What good VR puzzle/adventure games are out there? Looking at Myst and the Room currently. Anything else stand out? The Under Presents - It's like two games, a 'murder mystery / rewind time' story puzzle in a bottle, surrounded by a communal online puzzle that you figure out through mime and observation with others. It's pretty class. Paper Beast - Figure out the abilities of digital paper beasts to sculpt a desert landscape and progress. Expect Japanese punk and weird ethereal calm. Very French. The Talos Principle - loads of bang for your buck here. Good if you like arguing with computers too. A Fisherman's Tale - Super short, pretty easy, but plays really fun little games with scale. Runes: The Forgotten Path - just an odd indie thing that's part hokey story with some wave shooting, but mainly 'escape the room' magic puzzling XING - Is just pretty drat chill, if a bit slow on the walking speed. Flip environmental states to help you slide giant Aztec blocks about and such. Pure puzzler. Annoying rhyming couplets. Interkosmos - Ignore the repeating cold war parody and figure out how your moon module works. With a hammer. Before it crashes. (Better with the hints turned off). Downward Spiral: Horus Station - The puzzles are kind of easy, but it's got some good 'repair the giant 1980s space station' vibe. Like a budget Lone Echo, with guns. Yupitergrad - Swing around like spiderman, avoiding the spinning blades of the very friendly space station Lockback posted:I quite liked "I Expect you to die". It's on the shorter side with a cartoony ascetic, but the gameplay is tight and it does a great job of just being about wrestling puzzles. That brassy Bond intro is ace too, with all the Saul Bass graphics unfolding and lancing around you

Leathal posted:Is that Crytek Robinson game any good? It's dated pretty badly in some ways (slow movement with head steering only, the climbing can sketch out, moving physics objects is hilariously bad) And it's a bit of slow paced theme park over all. But there's some quality in there ultimately. If you can get through the boring intro (and annoying friendly companion) to the dinos in the tar pits and beyond, there's definitely some dino heaven there. Scrambling up the rainforest trees was good too. And getting hassled by a pterodactyl at one perilous point Looks drat pretty too if you sort the supersampling out. I'd say $5 is worth it for staring a diplodocus right in the nostril. Just don't expect proper horror staples or anything. They kind of suggest it with the raptors, but pull back from any gore or hardcore challenge pretty quick e: oh I should say I played on a Rift CV1 a while back, and it was fine. Bit of a performance hog maybe, but no big issues. Don't know how it plays on other systems. Pixelate fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Nov 28, 2021 |

Turin Turambar posted:Have anyone played Deisim? How is it? Haven’t played for a long while, but it’s core hook seems to be the super chill way you 'plant' biomes by flinging them down. Like you’re scattering a biome seed onto your chosen square. It’s very relaxing to build out the map like that. (And fun to fling the odd heretic off the map too). It never seemed super deep, or challenging, whenever I dropped back in. Make sure there’s food, flick away incursions, perform the odd appropriate curing (or smiting) miracle. More like god as gardener than anything.

marumaru posted:i still can't see any real money being invested into VR, much less a AAA VR game There are a few others. Lone Echo and Asguard’s Wrath probably sneak in there as AAA. Ubisoft have AC & Splinter Cell VR titles on the way, as part of some Oculus deal by the sound of it, and describe this third mystery title as AAA https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1480298363329335296 Valve claim they’ve got more big things brewing, but on Valve time obviously Guess we’ll see what they’re like. It’s not charging towards a AAA world, but the big players from the early days are still playing at least. It’s all just weighted more towards a Quest 2 / 'console VR' world right now probably There’s bonus movement with things like the Hitman series porting over. (And in the meantime the modding scene is going full bore at converting games, although more indie titles for full blown motion controller support and that. But it might turn a few heads if that gives old games a noticeable spike in sales)

ROFLBOT posted:Man i had such high hopes for CP2077 in VR and yes it really does make you feel like you’re “there” but despite having an i7 3080 (full-fat) laptop i can’t for the life of me get more than about 50fps and the inevitable nausea that brings I put all the graphics settings in the basement and I'm averaging 60fps+ on a 1080 that way. Just kept the AA but dumped the pop density down to medium. If you don't mind losing all the fancy face shadows and having the odd crayon texture it's still been pretty great. But YMMV obvs on that front. Have you tried the new auto aspect ratio option he added? Gets you the exact one for your headset. Saw some extra gains there.

Shemp the Stooge posted:Anyone here try the Valheim VR mod? If so, how is it? I liked it a lot. Most of the core stuff works really well and you're right in that world. They've laid on a pretty insane degree of customisation and control. It's a bit of a shame there's no controller-relative option, and some stuff like the spear throwing never felt great to me (even though they offer like 3 different throwing techniques and loads of further options). But it feels kind of churlish to even mention that to be honest. It's great, go for it.
