/vrgg/ - Virtual Reality Gaming General #8

fuck you, I wanna play bean stalker

help with sidequest
did all the steps fine until I had to connect to PC, it showed a dialog with options and I chose "open device to view files" and now the Quest only shows up as a flash drive.
How do I make sidequest detect it?

>>377968332
Did you turn dev mode on (in the app) and then went into the quest 2 dev options and turned on something or other that lets you sideload shit?

>>377967653
Co-op is fun, definitely worth the $10 they are asking right now.

>>377973556
turn dev mode on (in the app)
that was it, thank you. I thought it stayed on after the first time
My big issue with the Quest 2 still is the tracking, can't even complete the initial guardian setup without the thing going to black after 3 seconds, had to disable it which makes it unable to play anything

>>377973749
Agreed. Once we managed to get the standard simple grapling hook shit got so much fun

>>377958041 (Cross-thread)
Based Sony. Now if they get actual games beyond that pozzed Horizon game PSVR2 might be worth it.

what are some essential vr gear?

>>377974736
I have no idea why that isn't in the default kit.

>>378004942
Because you can get better grappling hooks later on. It's not like the climbing hooks which aren't upgradeable.

>>378004942
The feeling of progression

>>378005862
it just feels so integral. Maybe its to make you actually try and figure out climbing first. I only played a couple of hours of the demo though. Been tossing up between it and climbey.

Sale on sim games. Getting ACC+ all DLC

>>378014106
forgot image

>>378014106
Don't. Just get the base game and use CreamAPI for the DLC. Enables them if you have a legit game and neither Steam nor the game can tell the difference

what's with this broken pantyhose

Gem Server reminder: Due to timezone shifts it is now running at 1900 UTC+1

>>377973989
Turn on your lights, it doesn't work in the dark

>>378002140
Anyone who's not a seated sim player or on wireless needs a pulley system. VR Wire II or Kiwi Pulleys will be a life changer when set up right.

Beyond that it's budget and interests, really. Gunstocks are nice for FPS, HOTAS if you're a flyer. Wheels mandatory for the sim racer.

>>378019346
I disagree with this entire post. I've turned in real life for 4 years without a pulley system, I owned a gun stock and it was far more hassle than it was worth, and I own both a wheel and joystick but use neither in VR because they're so awkward to use while blinded by the headset. The last problem could be solved if tracked VR peripheral versions of those were made, but for now trying to find a specific button on the wheel while its rotated is horrible.

>>378019972
I dunno about steering wheels, but it's super easy to find buttons on my hotas, they're designed to be used without looking at them.

>>378019972
I've never had a problem with buttons on the HOTAS and I've played a handful of games with it, not DCS though. Same with the wheel, work on that muscle memory, it takes some time to get used to. Gunstock also took a while for me to adjust it and get properly dialed in, but once it was done it helped me way more than not having it for most games. But I also don't have one of those cheap shit ones so dropping and picking it back up is easy.

>>378019972
Do you look at your keyboard to type? How can you not remember where the buttons on a steering wheel are? Even if you have the wheel rotated you should know that it's rotated and on top of that you can feel the buttons anyway.

>>378020641
Not him but it would be easy as shit to overcome if you spend like 3 or 4 days using it for a few hours each day. I used a wheel in racing games for a while and I never looked where the buttons were

>>378002140
Post the follow up photo you coward.

>>378020641
I can type the letter U if I am typing, but if I need to find it in an FPS, then I'm probably going to press something next to it because my hands are in a different position. I guess it's the same form of mental retardation that locks me at a double digit typing speed despite using computers for over 25 years and even actively attempting to type faster.

>>378022554
I think if you make a keyboard that just has the braille lettering raised on all your keys it would be neat.

Probably wouldn't fuckin help at all with the problem you just described but the idea popped into my head and I wanted to share it.

>>378019972
Based. Gun stocks are a meme that don't even work in a lot of games.

I love how Asgard's Wrath takes advantage of switching scales up a ton. Being able to see a hero while crafting in a miniature view with weapons displayed like an action figure package is cool.

>>378028130
Counterpoint: gunstocks are based and more games should have calibration tools like contractors

>>378028427
Scale switching is such an awesome mechanic. Walkabout golf does it being able to see the island you're playing on and it feels awesome.
Seeing your friends in the sky makes for a fun experience too. Teased my friend since he has a giantess fetish.

>>378028130
In a way it's funny that how poor you are bothers me more than it bothers you

>>378035319
You dont even need a lot of money to have a gun stock. I built mine out of like <$20 in materials

>>378035319
I bought one from protube. It is shit.

2.2 beta this week

I pay for the games I play

Beating up women never gets old

>>378100717
I'm always freaked out when I see other people's footage of S&B and see men because I've had it set to 100% women since I first played it

Valheim Bros.

>>378077157
okey it is time for me to buy it since in viveport you don´t have 1.0

How do you get collect ice in Bean Stalker? I literally can't find any at all and have just been using the ice I get from quest rewards to make stuff.

>>378131583
You mean the crystal?

>>378131734
No, the ice in the arctic beanstalk. I just want to make the ice pistol.

>>378131850
I haven't been there yet but aren't their scanners to specifically help you on finding stuff?
Just find it using the scanner.

>>378132031
The scanners don't bring up icicles at all which is why I am confused. I'm getting filtered hard as with no ice I can't make ice ammo to deal with the owls-demon-things.

Do you want to be an extra in the VRG movie? In about two weeks (Friday the 8th 9pm PST) we are going to be filming a scene in Magma Cabana, without giving too much away, costumed background characters will be filmed taking in fun activities of the casino. Activities that include gambling, swimming, lounging in the lobby, watching performances in the theater, drinking at the bar, and so on.

Participants will be required to be in provided avatars only.
(Models and texture can be provided to those wishing to make minor alterations to mesh. model alterations still need to be approved before filming. DM Mentle for details.)

Dang. That’s weird. Maybe they’re a drop from a monster somewhere like the spider silk

I'm really tempted to spend a bunch of money on a wheel, is it worth going a full fanatec route for roughly triple the cost or is something like a thrustmaster good enough?
fuck posting in the sim thread those guys are just assclowns obsessed with dcs

>>378159429
Thrustmasters good from what i understand. I have a logitech and it seems fine (albeit it was given to me for free). I think as long as you get a force feedback wheel you should be fine with anything, especially if you have no frame of reference

>>378160381
I had a logitech one before, the main thing I want to avoid really is a gear driven set because they make a fucking godawful noise

>>378159429
Damn simg is still going?
Honestly my lad there are top players even with the ancient gear driven DFGT, and then there are shitters like me who wouldn't even do well with a thousand dollar DD rig
just get something second hand, git gud, then think of the serious stuff

>>378160598
Just wear headphones lol

>>378163986
Well, following the theme of the thread I'll be wearing VR and the headphones on it are a little stood off from your head and let in loads of ambient noise so it is kind of an issue, no?
>>378163351
Yeah good thinking actually, it's not like for a solid year or more you'd really be able to tell the difference between mid tier and top tier shit would you aside from the strength of the ffb

>>378167238
I've never really got those headsets with the little speakers on the side, what's the point of them other than not having to wear headphones?

>>378159429
You go to /o/ for driving sim discussion.

>>378136303
That game legit scares me.
Sound and atmosphere is top notch and I wish there was multiplayer because I'm a little pussy

>>378028427
What are the chances of this ever coming to steam?

>>378171042
Less then zero. It's more likely to get a low res Quest port given that Facebook owns the studio.

>>378169506
I dunno man they came with the headset alright

Question, is there any way to run games from apk without having to download it to my quest 2? Like stream it from PC somehow

>>378172142
No, only PC games can be streamed.

>>378169506
The off-ear speakers on the Index and Reverb G2 are nice as they are way less sweaty than the alternative which is great for Beat Saber and the like.

>>378171545
>Facebook owns the studio
uhm excuse me sweaty, but don't you mean META?

That is quite sad though... it looks like fun...

shieet there are only like 4 pcvr games i wan't to play and i don't want to buy overprices gpu just for 4 games..
what if i bought one, played all the games and then returned it within the 14days window where they have to take it back for full price? do you think thats a good plan?
and then maybe few months later buy a cheap ass used mine gpu

>>378175843
Just pirate it. It just werks on my Reverb G2 via Revive.

>>378170918
They want to make it more spooky.

>>378182694
2.0 isn't that spooky, they cut out a lot of the random ambience and visually cool but meaningless setpieces.
And added some more, but still. 2.0 feels a lot more hostile, while 1.0 feels a lot more dreadful. Mainly because shit in 2.0 sees you from a mile away and either charges at you or shoots you immediately.

>>378136303
When are they gonna add other human characters?

>>378183605
>other humans
There's no humans in the entire game

>>378183765
I know that
I want STALKER VR but without bandits taking potshots at you and free moral conundrums of robbing or helping loners its just not the same

>>378183936
Yeah me too. It's not stalker VR. It is really good though.
There's still some comfy apocalypse kino to be had back at base, cleaning the gunk off your guns. I'd like a way to keep tapes so I could listen to janky russian music while doing base tidying chores.

>>378183020
Yeah, they want to add that ambience back into version 2.

>>378183605
They aren't. The lore of the game is that you cannot make contact with other humans.

>>378184843
Shitty lazy lore, mod when

>>378184270
you can reply all previous tapes on the computer...

>>378184843
Nonsense, the early alpha had other changed you went into the zone with during the tutorial. That fucker steals your stuff at the end of the tutorial and you have to find your way back to the fog without it.

>>378184937
I don't think it's an excuse to avoid doing the work because the mimics already required the same work to implement as actual humans.

>>378185624
I didn't play that alpha, but I played one where you started in a more modern trailer. They clearly changed the direction from on-going human involvement in the radius, to the event happening 16 years ago but you're still there while others aren't.

>>378159429
proper seating position is more important than wheel quality imo
I bought a DFGT years ago and barely used it because I only had regular chairs to sit in and would get cramps in my back and legs trying to play with the wheel attached to my desk or a table
Last summer I splurged on a fanatec clubsport with inverted pedals and got this foldable racing sim chair, the wheel and pedals are nice but the chair makes a world of difference

>>378169506
>>378173465
the index speakers have fantastic positional audio and are very high quality even for just music listening
i wish they were a bit louder but even then nothing beats mirroring beat saber to surround sound with dual subwoofers

New tutorial and game start. The tutorial is now split into parts, allowing users to get in-game faster and apply the acquired knowledge as they need it.
Also it is more immersive and allows adding tutorials for new features without bloating the start of the game.
New player hands model.
Rest is no longer a parameter. Players can still sleep but there is no more occasional annoyance with closing eyes and yawning. We found that mechanic overly lacking in depth and meaning so it is removed until we can improve upon the system.
New sounds for all pistols as well as the M4 and IZh-27. More new sounds coming in upcoming patches.
Multiple simultaneous missions. Players can now take on up to 5 missions at the same time.
New Custom Difficulty Settings. Over 15 parameters are exposed to change like - amount of enemies, time till tide, item durability, enemy damage, disable tracers for enemies etc. It can be tweaked both ways to make the gameplay experience easier or harder.
Improved graphics. New tree models, terrain retexture, grass, and overall more detail, dynamic shadows on Effects - Medium to High.
New voice lines for Mimics.

CHANGES AND BALANCE
Improved CPU performance.
Index Grip is changed to be purely controlled by Grab event from SteamVR Settings without any hardcode inside the game, so it can be tweaked to your heart's desire. If you're having issues please reset your bindings to the Default ones.
Improved usability for the delivery box, now it opens upwards and has better signaling.
Refactored cigarettes. Now only one can be in mouth, but it is properly saved and can be lit while in mouth.
New upgrades to increase tube mag shotgun capacity.
Web anomaly has sound feedback for damage application.
IIz-81,SKS, short mag, and 7-62x39 have been moved to Access lvl 2 and reduced in price.
Ammo costs more overall. More steep increase in prices for high tier stuff. So you can save money in low tier locations with low tier ammo.
Increase in Armor Penetration for: 7-62x51 FMJ, 7-62x39 AP, 7-62x54R AP, 7-62x54R FMJ, 9x39 AP
Reduced effective range for 12x70 Slug.
Increased ammo per box to 30 for 5-45x39, 5-56х45, and 7-62x39.
More realistic weight differentiation for different ammo.
Player now starts with Access Lvl 0. Some equipment moved accordingly.
Grenades reduced in cost.
Secondary missions award less. This is to account for having 5 missions simultaneously.
More drastic growth for secondary mission rewards depending on location. Higher tier locations award considerably more.
Artifact weight reduced.
Fragment Crit zone moved from the head to chest area.

BUG FIXES
Fixed pistol mags falling through if ejected straight to the backpack.
Fixed shadow artifacts when flashlight shadow combines with light sources in the environment.
Fixed phantom items in backpacks that are not visible but take up weight.
Fixed hard to remove attachments from weapons.

>>378197780
>Rest is no longer a parameter. Players can still sleep but there is no more occasional annoyance with closing eyes and yawning. We found that mechanic overly lacking in depth and meaning so it is removed until we can improve upon the system.
I actually thought about this earlier after playing The Long Drive where sleep is just used to time skip and nothing else. I wonder what energy drinks will do now?

>custom difficulty

MAXIMUM DIFFICULTY IRONMAN PLAYTHROUGH INCOMING

>>378197780
>Rest is no longer a parameter
Good, it wasn't challenging anyway with the amount of rest spots in the new maps
>New Custom Difficulty Settings. Over 15 parameters are exposed to change like - amount of enemies
This sounds great but we'll see how it turns out in practice. I wouldn't want to turn up the spawns to make Pervomay Route a challenge, only to end up fighting an entire army in Kolkhoz Zarya. Lategame enemies already feel spongy without needing to kill 30 of them just to loot some trash.

>>378177642
Pirating is wrong and bad.
Just so I know what I need to avoid, where can I read up on this kind of thing? To avoid and report it, if I ever see it, obviously.

The new difficulty settings. The options for most of them are highly decreased, decreased, normal, increased, and highly increased.

>>378184270
Some anon made a mod that replaces the music tapes with era appropriate slavic music. Not sure if it'll work as planned with 2.2 now out though.
https://files.catbox.moe/v0pevr.pak

>>378205734
You just know I'm going to be boosting enemy count and shortening time to tide.

>>378206248
NO SLEEP
2 DAY TIDE
MAX ENEMIES
LOW ENEMY HEALTH

UWOOOHHHHH

>>378205734
Neat. I'm going to max the enemy count while reducing their HP a little unless those AP buffs end up making it too easy. Vanilla enemies already do a decent amount of damage and the higher count will make it more difficult.
Hopefully the scavenger mod works too.

>>378206338
>cheaper 7.62
>boxes are 30 round, not 20
>doom music mixtape starts playing

So it seems like new leaks are indicating Project Cambria will have force feedback triggers like PSVR2. Other than for guns, what else can this really be useful for?

>>378205734
What game is this?

Sorry /vrgg/, I pirated the games

Just played the first mission and there's a lot of changes not listed in the patch notes. This is what you collect in the first mission now, Katya spawns outside the door when you leave to give lines that usually play during the tutorial, the shotgun isn't on the bed and spawns on your computer instead after the mission.

>>378208778
I refuse to give a single penny to Meta.

>>378209173
The ground has a lot more detail now too.
>>378208080
Into the Radius.

>>378185786
There'd be a lot more work involved if they added interactable humans wandering around- factions, patrols, world movement ect on top of individual interaction and such

why aren't you playing manpad sim anon?

It comes with Revive and a bat script to run the game if you don't use an Oculus headset too.

>>378214625
Copilot survived the crash though.

Alright motherfuckers it is that time of the week again. Last week as a fun week of grinding against a new exporter that while functional, is meant to act as a one stop tool without the ability to modify things in blender. It'll be more functional with some additional documentation. Aside from that we have Easter coming up, if you need help with a bunnygirl outfit drop by.

Pulsar has been going great, the VR controls could use some refinement however. Might take a look at the modding community and see if it doesn't horribly break the game like it did last year. Highly encourage people to play it at some point it's just star trek FTL. https://store.steampowered.com/app/252870/PULSAR_Lost_Colony/

Dm the shop man if you would like to see others on a new path, know it is hard to change, but struggle to nudge nonetheless. Or if you just want to play some vr games together.

Does Oculus Quest 2 work fine as a PC headset? I've got an RTX3080, and I know someone who doesn't want their Quest 2 anymore. I don't mind making a Facebook account.

>>378265454
Yea it's fine. Get a good router or a link cable and hook it up. I would say about a quarter of the people here use a Quest 2 for PC.

>>378265454
Yes. If you plug it in via cable or wireless it functions as a normal PCVR headset.

Fair enough, do you still find enough cigarettes to chain smoke instead of ever needing to eat?

Pistol Whip might finally get modding/custom level support. About damn time.
https://cloudheadgames.com/cloudhead-turns-nine/

What would you wish for to see in it?

>>378247370
It doesn't decrease damage, it increases jamming chance.

Today we heist! 18 UTC Heisters!

>>378290030
I haven't actually tried the beta or anything. I just read the announcement on their official discord. I imagine the loot tables are the same though. They didn't mention anything about the cigarettes other than that you can be lit in your mouth and is "properly saved" whatever that means.

>>378290030
You can only smoke one cigarette at a time now.
>>378289439
I think they currently do nothing, but they should make them increase stamina regeneration rate.

>>378294315
>You can only smoke one cigarette at a time now.

>>378283197
Explain?
I kind of want to install/activate it but I'm to paranoid about using the wrong settings

>>378287819
Did you fuck him at least?

>>378290880
This might actually make me buy the game. Wonder if the Q2 version will support these

>>378265454
It works fine although you'll always be limited by battery life.

>>378297296
If the devs are officially adding it I don't see why they'd exclude the quest 2 version

>>378265454
It's good as long as you don't need full body tracking. I've had mine for bit over a year. Link cable has problems with some amd cards but since you have RTX3080 you're golden.

How fast does a router need to be for good wireless VR? The one I have now is 433mbs and it's just barely passable.

>>378169506
Honestly the best "headphones" I've ever had. Always watch movies with my Index to get that nice ~umpfh~ sound

>>378298460
I am surprised how well these kind of headphones work. It seems like an actual benefit, that the ears aren't completely sealed, so the sound kind of is more "natural" I guess?

>>378298213

From what I heard on the russian forums the oculus dev accounts are getting real buggy nowadays during initial setup

Seconding this but also accessories for headband, controller, cable, glasses etc.
Thought about buying a second-hand Index given Valve doesn't ship to this island and Amazon just has scalped kits, but I'd rather get a new botnet headset that's just good enough for half the price and later splurge whenever an Index competitor or successor comes around at similar pricepoints.

This is more like Cities Lite/Mobile given that it is an entirely different game with a fraction of the depth. It'll probably be less bad than other VR City Builders at least.

What's your favourite unknown & under-rated VR experiences? Games that not on anyones recommended list and deserve to be looked at

I try and Share "Horizon Vanguard" and "Final Assault" when possible

>>378390240
>Horizon Vanguard
this looks like a VR shmup and I didn't realize I needed this in my life

>Final Assault
I like RTS games but I have no idea how this would translate to VR, gonna check out some youtube footage

I'm pretty new to VR so have only played really popular stuff I think but RacketNX is pretty cool and probably the least sold game i've played so far

>>378390696

there is a demo on horizon vanguard .io, but its outdated but its worth a try if you uncertain to buy.

I love the game, gives me the feel of classic 90s arcade games like Time Crisis and House of the Dead, however it was really difficult and the final boss is impossible (I've done all stages but that boss)

Final Assault is a rts/moba hybrid, units fall down a lane and fight with some micro involved offlane, its not base building but it looks and plays great. Although multiplayer is broken, people spam rockets, l buy for single player bot matches (hard keeps you playing if you need a challenge)

>>378390240
Final Assault looks interesting but does it hold up?

For me it's Light Tracer. It's an extremely challenging puzzle-platformer with great variety. Not as polished as you'd like, which can lead to some deaths feeling unfair, but I admire the devs for consistently keeping it fresh. They recently made a flat screen-only sequel that doesn't seem nearly as interesting, the VR design added so much to the original

>>378391447

final assault is a steal for the price, it dropped permanently 66% off, even if the game has ceased development, its a must for anyone who likes miniature scale VR games and general rts and/or moba

>>378362329
C17YSCAPE or however the dude spelled it was pretty good, I'd have to check what I'm subbed to to make other suggestions
Tower: Agency is good and challenging too
>>378385893

>>378391447
>Final Assault
Really fun game until you figure out how to play it seriously and realise how terribly broken some units are and how lacking the game is in general. It desperately needs to have counter-xyz for each layer on each commander but doesn't. There should be fighters planes and bombers on each commander so you actually have some way to deal with the one commander with the anti tank gun and actually make the air layer worth investing money into. As it stands every commander has an anti-air ground unit and a fighter plane but fighter planes do jack shit to anything but basic infantry so there's almost no point in using them at all. If there was an anti-tank or even just anti-structure bomber then it would be a major strategic advantage to control the air layer but there isn't. There's one commander with a bomber I believe but they're the dedicated air commander which means they have a huge hole in their ground ability where everyone else is great. It becomes a tug of war battle on the ground very quickly with no alternate ways to break the stalemates. I still enjoyed it but I'd prefer it if they had two hyper commanders with all the available units for each of the two factions.

>>378391447
>Final Assault looks interesting but does it hold up?
It's been long dead on arrival ever since the first month of launch.

The Midnight Sanctuary is a fun VR-VN set in an isolated Christian village in Meiji-era Japan. It uses head tracking to do some weird visual effects. It only took me an hour and a half to clear completely, but it was a pretty trippy and somewhat less grim story than I thought it would be.

Some people report diminished use of battery, but that's all. Seems like it consooms faster than it charges innit.

>>378446652
I wonder if that's cause people are using bad cables or ports. If it's not then that's kinda lame.

>>378446937
I actually have the official one, but I haven't even played with it for a long while, last time I tried, it simple discharged slower.

I remember there being a Kickstarter to make or translate this game a year or so ago. Neat that it's out.

>>378340053
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.

i am so fucking hyped for San Andreas on quest
A huge open world game with cars and planes and shit will be amazing in VR

>>378362329

>>378474917
>what all was changed in re4?
they completely gutted the game inside out
for example when leon finds a dead woman he says
"Not even women are safe here"
but this makes women look weak and not as capable as men so they changed the line to "Looks like nobody is safe here"
They also removed ashleys reaction when you look at her panties

HOTFIX UPDATE 2.2

If you have mods installed it might be best to uninstall them, since they're probably incompatible with the current version of the game. This can cause issues in-game. We suggest waiting until your mods get updated by their creators.

BUG FIXES
Fixed getting stuck in Hub because gates didn't open.
Fixed getting stuck inside the player container home.
Fixed old saves having a completed tutorial having to do new tutorial steps.

KNOWN ISSUES
Sometimes gameplay tips are not visible to the player or they spawn far from player.
Grass anomaly deals no damage.
Some trucks are glowing like crazy. Don't look at them too long, keep your eyes safe! (Even if they're beautiful).
Katya's body in the tutorial part ignores volume settings.
Reflector anomaly doesn't reflect thrown items back (DON'T TRY IT!).
Cassettes freeze in place after putting them in the cassette player on the map.
Thank you for reporting these bugs and more, it greatly helps us catch and fix them!

BETA 2.2 QUESTIONNAIRE
As always we need your feedback on our updates. If you feel like you've experienced much in the new 2.2 update, please complete this questionnaire. Thank you!

and new songs suck, i really cant stand how in beatsaber hard means 100 block up/down right at your face
and new gimmicks are trash, that gay line is awful you cant even see were it goes and its not even close to riding waves in chadriders and that other shit with chopped blocks is bad too, i think it suppose to be used for doing shit like circles
its like they wanted to copied the best parts from chadrides as lazy as they could

I'm more miffed that the entire Ada Wong campaign is missing. It's strictly an inferior version of the game compared to the PC version with the HD mod.

>>378495885
>Ada Wong
i never played the pc game and i was confused why was she in the quest game at all when her role was so small overall, so she was supposed to have a campaign?
why did they remove it? did she say the nword in game or something?

>>378496438
Ada is hot so the Austin based studio that made the port probably got offended and cut it, much like how they censored the main campaign. At least it'll still be in RE4make whenever that comes out.

plox

>>378500158
it uses hmd as a tracked camera. Sense of flight and scale is amazing.
You can use VR controllers as laser pointer "mouse", but it's jank, you need to use a hotas anyway, and switching from hotas to VR controller and back is annoying, it's actually easier to just use mouse.

Using your head to look around is extremely liberating, and I pity those souls who are flying Apache with trackir or with dpad head looking.

Game is optimised worse than vrchat so prepare for low fps.

It's a niche, you'll love it or hate it, or both.

You can try all modules for free. 2 weeks per each module if you use their launcher:
https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/licensing/trial/

After 6 months free trial resets. So you can kinda play all the cool planes for free if you rotate the plane you fly every 14 days.

I'm thinking of getting one of these three games this month with VR spending money:

Project Wingman (i have logitech joystick)
Pistol Whip
Battle Sister (I love 40k, but the graphics/engine looks weak)

What do I get? Sell me on them

>>378501035
>you need to use a hotas anyway
Just have a basic joystick, had to use keyboard when I played it flatscreen.
That with the low fps sounds like I have to skip it for now.

>>378501528
>Project Wingman
Joystick support is kind of jankie but doable, just to keep that in mind. Also with some ui/overlays you notice vr was an "afterthought" (for the lack of a better word).

>Pistol Whip
They just announced they will be working on modding support, so when that drops definetly get it. As for now just have a look at the songs currently in the game.
The genre might not be for everyone and all more or less the same genre.

>>378501528
pistol whip is getting mod support soon™ but the maping seems to be pretty complex so I'd expect it to be awhile before anything of quality comes out

>>378501528
Buy into the radius

>>378502502

i didn't like it, it felt really cheap and dull, I like the concept and a general Stalker VR, but this isn't what I had hoped for it.

I remember just walking through some empty woods near the starter cabin/fenced area and found nothing, not even enemies. I'm all for immersion and survival games, but its pretty empty

I liked Walking Dead S&S, Vivecraft, The Forest and even survival mode in Pavlov, why didn't this work?

>>378505270

and before you say finding nothing in the woods would obviously by nothing, I meant thats why I left the game at, I looked around more human-made areas as well, I just couldn't get anything done and felt like I was wasting my time

>>378505270
Did you got to play latest update (or one of latest updates, as opposed to playing one year ago)? I played ITR long time ago and i thought it sucks balls, but current versions please me greatly. You've got quests, weapons and maintenance, money, some semi-decent feel of progression, it's amazing how much better it got through years

What things are you looking forward to doing with Cambria Metabros? I can't wait to use it as a monitor replacement. Finally a lightweight, visually sharp enough headset.

Just use the thread. If you need a seperate voice chat for a multiplayer game and don't want to set anything up yourself you can use the /vrg/ steam group chat; People already use it for a handful of games, you don't need to join the group to use it and that's pretty much the only thing it gets used for.

Huh?

>>378621692
They hired a sound engineer after a mod was released in early February and they realized the audio is actually bad.

>>378627529
Bad sound effects seem to be very common for small developers. I've tested a bunch of VR games and I'm almost always saying the sounds need to be louder, punchier, have more bass etc.

So im gonna guess im probably one of the only guys in here with a Vive Pro. If any of you have it, what do you think? Mines going on two years plus now. I don't even really know anything about the Vive Pro 2 other then that it exists.

>>378627276
Ghost walking simulator.

>>378632661
Most game developers use effects out of the box because they don't have experience with sound mixing

>>378632901
i picked mine up after i tested the vive pro 2. I didnt like the vp2 so i got the vive pro. I did just about every modification in the book. gearvr lens, wireless, DAS, battery, microphone + audio for DAS, fan, battery for wireless/counter balance. vrcover, even little clips to keep the DAS headphones right where i want them. The vp2 is an okay headset but not for that price. my main gripes with is it are the lcd panel and lenes design. the lcd colors and black levels are bad compared to the vp OLED. feels stereo overlap is sacrificed for a slightly higher horizontal fov, which i hated, small sweet spot and everything else around it was blurry. I was really disappointed hence i got a vive pro to cope since i still wanted wireless. If your thinking of upgrading anything, get the index controllers.

Is melee combat in Skyrim fixable yet? I've tried a chunk of mods and I don't know if it's just me not installing/configuring them right or if Skyrim is that hard to make melee work good. I've got the weapon speed fix, power attack stabilizer, Vigor(Just for parries), Ultimate Combat, realistic melee range, Sekiro combat for timed blocks, and locational damage.

But melee still feels jank as fuck or not working how it should. I'm not expecting Blade and Sorcery here, but some actual weight and responsiveness would be great. I haven't tried the VR Essentials Wabbajack mega patch since I've been wanting to add a chunk of my own mods, particularly a couple Star Wars ones floating around and one of them is massive in scale, but fuck it I'll try figuring it out if it makes melee just work.

>>378205734
Played about with the settings:
Enemy count only goes up one level and there are noticably more enemies scattered around the map but raiding locations like the train station and village felt mostly the same as before. Used with higher enemy perception it did make clearing out the village slightly more difficult as several spawns and fragments from the surrounding area were drawn in by my gunfire. I was hoping enemy count could go even higher but maybe that would make things too difficult in the lategame levels.
Anomaly amount also only goes up one notch but it seems to add a lot of them, as if all the possible spawn points are now being used. It looks great seeing a huge field of them and you really need to watch your step now.

Shit, that looks like what I need. I guess I'll wait for that then? Is melee really that hopeless till this comes out though?

>>378665689
currently melee is literally waggle mapped to M1, so yes

>>378662958
SkySA works in Skyrim VR now. Blade & Blunt and Strike Obsfucation System add actual strategy to the game. One of the big things people are looking forward to is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcUMXqnw3CQ for proper combat physics.

>>378686672
Huh, those actually look kind of interesting. Not the holy grail that is the physical weapons, but seems good and might make it at least playable. I might have to give them a try, thanks. Any special way I configure it for VR or animation packs you recommend with SkySA, or just the mod alone/Intense combat addon?

>>378688432
Technically you need the VR version of Animation Motion Revolution rather than the SE version https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50258?tab=files

Us VR chads now no longer need to deal with Todd's ice skating BS. There's also https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58605 and its suggested mod if you want animations to be 1:1 with the actual hitboxes so you can physically dodge attacks. I don't use it however as I'm lazy and play sitting down.

>>378625097
Update on this,
Disabled all rules on the firewall that mentioned Oculus and also blocked a few ejecutables that were on the task manager. That shit didn't prompt once during 4 hours of playtime.

For me it's the opposite. Playing flat games after being used to VR makes my eyes fatigued.

>>378726421

i guess Demeo if you like turn-based/d&d

I've wanted to play Hover Junkers online for a very long time, does anyone here have it and want to play?

>>378735220
I got it for free but never actually played it with anyone lol.

>>378735335

well I was there when it had an active community, multiplayer died when people abused revolver shots, but it was fun otherwise. Since then I've had a massive computer upgrade and VR playspace and would love to return, but no one plays it anymore

If we can get more players, maybe we can host something, maybe 3+?

>>378735520
I forgot about the play space requirement. My current place is way too small for this. Gomenasai anon.

>>378735972

there are many ships in the game, with a minimum of 1.5 x 1.5, you be fine, I was in the smallest space possible when I started playing and used this ship. I have 2.8 x 2.5 now

Piratebros is piracy even possible? I can’t find vr games on the usual websites I go to

>>378736503
>iRetard
get fucked lel,
pay you stupid pig

Still dizzy, so I won't play anything until I recover, on the meantime, anyone play this shit on VR? (Bucaneers!). Minecrafty aesthetics, but seems kinda okay from what I have played on flat mode.

>>378737185

I reviewed the demo during the steam festivals (wo times), its nice to have a pirate/ship experience in VR, but the visual design really does bring it down, imagination can only take is so far with simple graphics. Generally it played alright, but it can't really be higher than mediocre with that style

>>378733947

Update. I bought Into the Radius again and it feels like a brand new game, it's actually playable and looks good now! I got my ass kicked 10 minutes into my first game, so any general tips for a newcomer, please post!

I have a few questions though

1) I went outside without a mission, how do you find missions at the base?
2) I died and lost all my loot, since I'm not going Ironman/hardcore on my first game, is it possible to load my game and save my items (i'm not at my computer atm, so I can't test it)
3) How do you find your bearings on the map, I couldn't tell where I was or any locations hinted at it

>>378750216
>looks good now
Not really, but they're updating the graphics in beta right now.
>how do you find missions at the base?
From the computer in your room.
>is it possible to load my game and save my items
You can just load a save normally.
>How do you find your bearings on the map
If you really can't figure it out, you can show your position on the map from the options menu.

>>378750216
>3) How do you find your bearings on the map, I couldn't tell where I was or any locations hinted at it
Have you tried using the compass and navigating from landmarks?

>Valve Index is in the Global Top Sellers list on 5th place

>>378014562
Does this work with games like Euro Truck and American Truck simulator? American one is on sale but I don't wanna pay 80€ for DLC. How does CreamAPI work anyway?

>>378751719

I know its a survival game, but I didn't know there was a compass I already had, I didn't see one in the backpack or my body, where is it?

>>378752616
There's one on the watch

>>378751824
It's ranked by amount spent

>>378753001
So basically 100 people buy it it's now the top seller?

Well people here said its good, so lets do this, already a little dissapointed because lever and items don't really get grabbed by the players hand like in alyx

>>378755439
Btw the game is Bean stalker

>>378755439
at least alyx did the fucking levers right you wouldve never heard the end of it otherwise

>>378737185
>Minecraft aesthetics
"minecraft aesthetics" usually means big, textured voxels. This is flat shaded untextured low-poly, also known as shitpoly, and it should stay in 2016-17. Not only that, but they're stock models, at least phasmophobia used assets to its advantage but this is unacceptable and VR consumers should be less tolerant of this shit.

>>378756781
>also known as shitpoly
Based?

>>378726421
How about sex dungeons in VRchat?

>>378756781
>>378757624
Oh, excuse me, the correct term is actually "memepoly", got it mixed up with pixelshit.

>>378754073
That's what happens when one Index kit is worth almost 20x the price of a full priced game.

>>378752536
It does but getting the files for ETS specifically is a faff - you need to find the latest oculus specific DLCs around, and they update quite frequently.

Anyone here use the CAS sharpener for VR games? (aka Reshader), to me its a gamechanger, especially for the Index, it makes the games look more detailed whilst also improving washed out colours, and no performance drops. Anyone else use this?

The only problem recently is that two games that use to work fine with CAS just don't load up because of it now (Pokerstars VR, Bigscreen Beta), does anyone know why? It's not a big deal since I dont use them much, and everything else runs fine as normal

>>378768184
quest 2 wireless in virtual desktop has a sharpening thing yes i use it

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXipnITyeNA
Hmm this is actually an interesting concept. It probably can't be scaled up. Still, imagine if you could just get actors to play as AI in games. On one hand it might be kind of weird to know they're just actors, but on the other hand if you can get past the LARP, it'd be the most immersive experience yet.

>>378771806

Anyone knows if I actually have to run back to base just to buy this one thing? Or am i missing it, and it's somewhere in village? Also, am I even right about the item on table?

>>378790193
There should be enough supplies in the village. I think there are a few grenades in a car.

Since it got updated, I can't use it connected to my pc more than 10/15 minutes.
And no, I won't change to wifi connection since it consumes battery like hell

>>378768184
I use openvr FSR's sharpening with upscaling turned off as it works in more games than reshade.

>>378805492

>>378790193
boom grenade is just any grenade

>>378808157
For me it has fixed extended battery, I couldn't use it for some reason in previous update.

>>378790193
There's some grenades in the toilets by the half built building with the teddy on it in the swamp map because apparently someone was LITERALLY dropping bombs on the job. There should be more than enough supplies in the town though.

I just bought a quest 2.
Can I still do the whole process of sideloading APKs and using it wireless on PC without making a facebook account?
I've never had one and I don't want to make one.

>>378839093
Yes.
I don't know what will happen after 2023 regarding Oculus Link, but you can do everything without a f*cebook account right now.

>>378840845
Once you have it set up couldn't you just use it permanently online and never worry about it?
Or can you still do online things with sideloading and not having a facebook account?

>>378766525
I don't use oculus dude. I have valve index and I own ETS, but I'm talking about ATS.

>>378851505
It's SteamVR, but if you look around they still call it "the oculus branch" for whatever reason.

>>378851749
What is CreamAPI anyway?

>>378840978
If you're asking about multiplayer it depends on whether or not they need facebook social services for the multiplayer to work.

>>378852246
It's a DLC unlocker that replaces your steam_api.dll, which is what games use to communicate with steam. This thing is specifically meant to intercept the "Does this guy own this DLC?" question, and answer yes while not fucking with anything else. For most games this means you automatically have all DLCs. For some you need to specify the ID of the DLCs, for others you need to download the DLC files first. It needs some work, but it totally works, it's undetectable and I despise DLC so I use it for most stuff that's riddled with it (like for example Paradox games)

buy a wheel

>>378901695
Not that anon, but is a wheel worthless if it doesn't have Force Feedback? I was thinking of trying a cheap wheel to try some racing, but anything which has force feedback is getting kind of pricey and I don't know if I want to commit. I tried a friend''s and it was nice, but don't know if I'm enough of an enthusiast to spend 250-300 dollars on a G920. There's some cheaper ones for only around 100 bucks, but they lack FFB.

>>378904170
You need something with FFB or else you're just playing mario kart with a wii controller.

>>378904170
you dont need ffb, its all fake anyway
imo lack of ffb is good for starters and muh heavy wheel is just cope

If you think you'll get your money's worth by replaying the same levels but with a ton of modded weapons then you should get it. The dungeon mode adds some environmental variety but it's still janky physics combat with no other mechanics for now.

>>378922753

I bought an index and like 20 games a week ago, tons of cool stuff, tried out almost everything at least for a bit.. but 95% of my playtime has been beat saber

this is some globohomo brainwash to get me to do cardio and love it and its working way too well

>>378943460
beat saber is hardly cardio. if moving your wrists makes u sweat your are....pathetic. Base stations should really have a bmi indicator to make you have to work out before you can play a little. fuck i hate fat people

biggest problem with that is that it prevents you from crouching though, this looks the same
I have a friend who kickstarted the Omni but has never used it cause he's too fat to fit in it

>>378943883
what are some of your favorite Synth Riders tracks, anon? :)

>>378952185
At full MSRP+Shipping of almost 1800 bucks? Unless you're rich enough to impulse buy a Varjo Aero fuck no is it worth it. I got mine for 800 bucks from a guy trying to get rid of it fast since he was moving and wouldn't be able to fit it. It was a steal there but it's definitely not worth over 1000 bucks unless you're a real rich fucker who's already got the best stuff. You'll get more out of a better HMD.

I like it, I don't find it too much of a gimmick and it doesn't feel horribly unnatural for me to use. Not a completely natural walk but it feels 'close enough' even with the sliding that I like it. That said, if you''re playing very twitchy games like Contractors or Pavlov, you won't get as much use out of it. Strafing is total ass outside slow, single player exploration. You effectively can just run forward and then use a foot gesture to backpedal. In slower things or single player experiences like Skyrim/Half Life: Alyx, it truly shines and you actually start viewing larger VR worlds differently when you physically gotta run up the massive mountain. Immersion on larger maps, even in FPS, is great. It works for everything which has thumbstick smooth locomotion.
>>378952383
You can crouch in the Kat Walk C just fine. Though you'll want to set your game floor slightly higher than your real floor to make it easier. Since while you can pick up things at your feet, it's still kind of a bitch to do.

>>378953193
>varjo aero
never heard of this before, how much better is this vs an index? I did minimal research and everything I saw said 'index best'

kind of disappointing to hear that the kat isn't great for pavlov, as that's pretty much the only game I've put hours into aside from beat saber so far, but it does sound ideal for heavily modded fo4/skyrim playthroughs. are there any specific models/manufacturers that support strafing better? no reviews I've seen in the past half hour or so of googling have even mentioned it. Ill definitely keep my eye out though because frankly, compared to my actual treadmill, these vr ones are not as expensive as I was expecting (and seem way more fun)

>>378951864
>I lift way more than you bud
Yeah cuz each time you stand up you have to support 400lbs.

>>378947925
cope. that is all it is. Pistol whip gives you better cardio than Beat Saber

>>378960153
>this much fatty projection
lol bet you can't even 1/2/3/4

I agree pistol whip is better cardio out of the box, but to say beat saber isn't cardio at all... you're playing beat saber wrong

also no custom tracks sucks lol I beat everything in pistol whip in like a day and went back to saber

>>378959724
>Index best
You need to do more research. The only thing the Index is best in is sound and high refresh rates, but it's beaten in the latter by the 5k Super. The Vive Pro 2, 8k X, or G2 in clarity by a sizable degree without costing crazy more, the former 2 already in the steamVR ecosystem. The Aero blows every VR headset out of the water in clarity and has unique lenses, pixel density over x2 that of the Index and vastly better lenses, but it costs 2000 dollars and lacks a microphone or built in audio outside some dinky earbuds. If you want absurd FoV(160 degree vs Index 108) then Pimax is the go to. The Index is still amazing in is on a plug and play factor but it's really showing its age at almost 3 years old by now in everywhere else.

As for treadmills, no not really. They all have a fundamental problem with moving anyway except for forward. They technically can strafe, but it and moving backwards use foot gestures, you either move your foot to the left/right and angle it up or behind you pointing down. The problem with this is there is a very small bit of lag between the gesture and actually moving. It's not large, maybe half a second or less when I tried it, but that's a horribly long time to react in Pavlov. Plus you can only move "Full Speed" in those directions, there's no careful movement like when barely moving the thumbstick. This makes it poor for when you need very small, precise movements which the treadmill can only do when moving forward.

>>378943460
How fat are you man?
Me? Very, and saber doesn't do it for me, I have to go Thrill of the Fight for cardio.
Imagine being out of shape so much that beat saber is cardio.

I kind of want, but won't be able to pick one until summer or so.

>I'm so starved for space games this did it for me for a moment

play beat saber at high difficult the way it was intended to be played
if your delts aren't cooked after 20 minutes of playing hard you're either a shitter or a wrist tranny

Just got $2000 from my tax refund and looking to get a treadmill. Which is the best? Anyone have one? Already have an index and quest 2. Most played game is vrchat.

>>378967738
the bowflex treadmill 10 is about two thousand dollars.

>>378965693
The truth is that if you play enough then it isn't strenuous exercise any more no matter what you do. Your body gets used to it. I can shrink the sabers to fist sized and punch the notes on expert+ and won't feel anything. Synth Riders is the same.

>>378967738
Scroll up somebody just talked about the Kat Walk C

>>378931401
What it really needs is weapon durability to force you to constantly be picking up and salvaging new weapons and some objectives that aren't just moving between arenas. Fixing up the physics combat and the interaction between physics and animation is another thing too but it seems to be that you get out what you put in. If you fight controlled and steady you'll get the same in return. If you slam into them full force and waggle it'll be mayhem just the same.

>>378969926
I think weapon progression would work better. You start with a random low tier weapon and have to loot better ones. Weapon condition could add more variety to this too, with blunted weapons not cutting or stabbing so easily.

ty anon, lot of stuff for me to look into. I took the extremely lazy route bc I had assumed vr was a gimmicky meme for years and hadn't even tried it until my index got here a week ago. But I'm definitely already noticing some inadequacies with the index, its kind of heavy, cable is a bit annoying (even with ceiling mounted pulleys) and the face plates are /awful/ for cardio/sweating. Will definitely do some research on some of these other HMDs, vive seems interesting because I could keep the index controllers (which I'm really loving). Also how legit is pimax? Never heard of this brand and just judging their website on face value it seems.. janky..? (the 'vr accessory mystery loot boxes' and shit seem a bit sketchy to me). Also do any of these headsets approach the index in terms of audio? (absolutely loving the sound) My major concern is how likely it is that valve announces an index successor soon. As you said, it's nearly 3 years old now, and they seem to be ramping up their hardware game, and I wouldn't want to buy an additional, slightly better, 'current gen' headset if the next version is right around the corner.

for treadmills, after reading lots of reviews and your posts it seems like I shouldn't waste money on one unless I can catch a good deal on a used one

ty for the helpful spoonfeeding

>>378963727
LARP, you aren't doing expert+ tracks, post bod, post PR, etc. etc.

is thrill of the fight more arcade-y or more simulator-ey? Is it fun long term? one of the few vr 'top sellers' I havent bought yet

>>379007052
then what is a more fun (long term) rhythm game? I've played the entirety of pistol whip (tons of fun but I'll wait for mods), about 80% of ragnarock, but I keep returning to saber because the amount of custom content, cool tracks, good cardio maps, etc. just crushes these others

>>379010568
looks fun in vids but how intense is the cardio? seemed like less arm swinging than a high BPM expert saber track

My Index Right Controller is drifting, I've had it for over 2 years (can't rma).

Do I... do i try and self repair it myself?

>>379021787

>>379021787

I sweat quite a bit with Sprint Vector, I feel nothing from Beat Saber/Synth Rider.

Are there any RTS for games for VR? Not directly just strategy games, an experience you can build bases and/or control multiple units to command.

Final Assault does not count, its more of a moba.

Anyone pirated Battle Sister? I found a copy and a crack but it doesn't work, it loads up a menu screen but on my monitor not the headset and I can't click on anything.

>>379022339

>willing to immerse as a sister of battle

>>379021842
I have self repaired two controllers now. Both work okay. One of them doesn't track as well as it used to (I broke some pins inside lmao) and the thumbstick click doesn't work (not sure why...). The other one I slightly tore a ribbon cable putting it back together and the finger tracking of the middle finger is broken now. Else than that it works fine.

I don't recommend it to be honest, my strategy was to wait until the drift was so bad the controller was actually unusable, and then try for a repair after buying a new one.

My recommendation:
1.Try RMAing anyway (valve is pretty kind especially with thumbsticks)
2. Buy a new one
3. keep old one as backup for games that don't need a thumbstick, or that are comfortable enough with thumbstick remapped to touchpad.

Pimax is legitimate, but finnicky. They're very much enthusiast HMDs designed to be tinkered with and may need some settings dialed in to work right, not the most plug and play friendly, but they give you a bunch of options like adjusting individual color channels, backlight brightness, and software IPD offsets if you got misaligned eyes so you can fine tune your image how you like. They're trying to clear a bunch of inventory because they're doing a new line up of HMDs later in the year, probably hence the lootboxes. Look up the 12k, it's got absolute retard insane specs and you can trade in the value of any current Pimax headset for it. Pimax is also lighthouse tracked. Just buy from anywhere except Pimax themselves as their return policy is only 7 days and their HMDs are kind of finnicky. They're my favorite and the FoV is amazing, but they're not for everyone. Some games you also need to enable a performance intensive fix for due to canted displays, but few of the larger games require it aside from stuff like MSFS or Elite Dangerous.

Also don't worry about Valve announcing a successor. Contratry to some rumors fanboys would have you believe, by all indication Valve is not making a new HMD any time soon and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see it till 2023 unless Valve have become the best secret keepers in the industry. Audio wise, the G2 uses the exact same speakers, but it's got 10 degrees less FoV and a tiny sweetspot. Pimax has some off ear headphones, called the DMAS like the Index, but stock they sound nowhere near as good due to basic drivers, but with some third party EQ some people have reported getting sound quality pretty close to the Index. As I said, it takes some tinkering.

Thanks for coming to pavlov to a new face, Don't worry about not being as good a everyone else, mst people have been playing for a while. People get better quickly with practice! Might want to get some confience against bots first though

>>378973340
>not cutting or stabbing so easily
Their current tiers have the weapons hold magical charge for longer at higher tiers. Having some diablo style weapon progression like legendary tales would probably be okay but with the way blade and sorcery plays it's really hard to give weapons damage values any meaning. You can be a lot more savage in blade and sorcery and it sits closer to sim rather than arcade. I can't even think of what you'd put into stats or buffs outside of mana, damage, and health boosts.

Fuck these bees

>>379031112
Playing online in Push servers is the best way to learn, low downtime and objectives let you practice the very important skill of predicting other players movements. Bots have really forgiving hitboxes compared to players and they don't move like a human so that could hold you back if you practice offline. The shooting range workshop map is good for figuring out the ironsights of guns too, there's a section with moving targets to test rapid aim adjustment that makes it much more useful than the base game shooting range.

>>379021937
>>379022029
cool, will dl and try both of these

>>379023923
>Pimax is also lighthouse tracked
so I can keep the same bases (and controllers) from my index? it sounds like you have one of these, how heavy is it and whats the weight distribution like with it on your head? Is the cable heavy or too short (would I need an extender if I want to put it on my ceiling pulleys)? Any issues regularly using it for longer sessions? Is the faceplate a good material for cardio/sweat (wipeable vs the index fabric absorbing everything)? And if I'm understanding you correctly, I can buy an available Pimax right now and essentially trade it in for the 12k whenever that releases? That sounds like a sweet deal

>Some games you also need to enable a performance intensive fix for due to canted displays
How time consuming/annoying does this end up being? Also how much of an impact on performance?

>>378473862
Me too homie. The Meta showcase is on the 20th I hope that they reveal gameplay

>>379037417
>Pimax
Yes, you could keep the same base station+controllers. The weight depends on which one you get. The 5kS is about Index tier. The 8k X is pretty front heavy at almost 900g. However, there's some built in counterweight on the headstrap so it doesn't feel that bad. To a point it's less how much something weighs and more how it's distributed. The 8k X really wants 200-300g of counterweight on the back though, massively improves the comfort. With counter weights I got no issues playing for hours in it. The default cable is 4.5m but they sell a fiber optic one which is 6m. Default face padding is foam, but you can replace it with PU leather if you want and the foam is easier to soak sweat out of with a paper towel. You are correct on the 12k trade in. You get what you paid, minus taxes and shipping. Capped at the MSRP of the headset so it can't just be abused.

>Displays
It's just a toggle in the companion software, Pitool, and restarting SteamVR if it's running, that's it. How much a performance hit varies depending on how large you set your FoV. The largest is almost 30% performance penalty, while the other settings are less. You'll know when you need it because you'll get things like crosseyed double vision instantly. But the majority of games don't need it now.

Do your research before you buy a Pimax though, I mean it, because they can be temperamental and might be a little overwhelming for a VR newfag. But when they work, they work amazingly. Also if you have an AMD card don't get the 8k X, because newer versions aren't compatible with it.

>>379058390
you get a lot more mobility once you craft the basic grappling hook. I think the game would be better if they replaced the climbing claws with two hook shots honestly.

>>379062476
I'm not much of a car guy either, the only racing games I played was Burnout and I'm completely content with my shitbox IRL. I only gave simracing a try because I saw someone selling the peripherals within walking distance for less than it was on ebay, thinking I could always sell if I didn't like it.

Turns out VR is perfect for racing, the immersion and sense of speed are great whether it's on track or rally. I found a niche I didn't know I had with classic cars and driving laps while listening to an album has become one of my goto ways to relax in VR. I highly recommend trying it if you have the time to look for an underpriced wheel.

>>378594089
Check out Il-2 1946 with B.A.T. mod and vorpx. If you do it right, it's amazing.

>>379076947
There's no server with this track for multiplayer though...

>>379058836
I like the progression of building to the hook shot. But hot damn is it still scary to fight with a hookshot

>>379079620
Crafting material gathering needs a bit kore spice I think

Is it worth it to get vorpx in 2022? I just went to their site to refresh myself on the cost, and it says there hasn't been an update since September '21. Are folks still working on newer games for it?

>>379077805
Woah, I like that small kart, on a big open track. What game is this? Is it AC?

>>379099973
Never worked well with anything as far as I remember.

I agree, posted that picture because fuck them honestly, sometimes you just hear bussing and the "uh" sound and you just can't find them, same with the spiders

Could one of you car boys give me an explanation on the difference between Assetto Corsa and Copetizione? I've got a wheel coming soon and I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row installation wise.

I'm sure there's a bit of a difference graphically considering they're about 4 years apart, but there must other things given the older game seems to have a larger install size.

>>379117810
>mario kart
>1992

>>379122456
They aren't 'karts'.

>>379122608

>>379122686
That is what racing cars looking like in the 30s.

>>379121661
>Assetto Corsa and Copetizione?
Competizione was limited to one kind of racing I believe.

>>379121661
AC
>shit ton of modding (cars, tracks, etc)
ACC
>no modding, GT racing only, better graphics and way better ffb

I have 2 hours played in ACC and 160 in AC. I just don't care about GT and the VR performance is tough for me. I only like to simrace with an H pattern shifter anyways. ACC doesn't have manual cars.

>>379061431
SRP made me come back to simracing too fren. It's just too good.

>>379061431
SRP is really nice. I play more of that alone than anything else in Assetto

>>378969436
> I can shrink the sabers to fist sized and punch the notes on expert+ and won't feel anything.
I would love to see a video of you doing this irl. Casually punching expert+ beat saber tracks while not even feeling it must look very cool.

>>379143954
It really sounds like this guy got filtered by vanilla maps lol.

>>379051379
thanks for all the spoonfeeding anon, very helpful, I will definitely look into it more. Pimax starting to sound more ideal for my rig/setup than the index

>>379145491
for sure, dude is LARPing

>>379143954
I'm obviously not talking about 500+ pp songs.

>>379143954
I don't know if that's possible to do on most Expert+ songs but one of the reasons why beat saber becomes less strenuous over time is that your playstyle adjusts for minimal movement while still hitting notes. Expert+ deserves it's wrist flapping derogatories because that's exactly how a lot of people end up playing it, meanwhile the newfags working their way up through hard difficulty are still moving their whole body because they haven't optimised the exertion/fun out of the game.

>>379126530
>>379136838
Yeah I only do LAC and SRP pretty much. I mean what else is there? Why would I spend precious time playing anything else? I'm open to suggestions.

>>379148518
Can confirm and have only been playing for 10 hours. I started with wide arm movements and now do compact movements on expert. Expert+ looks fucking impossible with full arm movement unless your arms are fluid tentacles.

>>379154492
you'll see. it's fun.

>>379154492
Expert+ songs can be as low as something like 130 pp which is very easily doable.

does anyone have/use one of those VR gun stocks for stuff like pavlov? I kinda want to get one for my setup because using any weapon two handed in pavlov (or any shooter) feels weird as hell and immersion-breaking, pump shotguns probably being the worst for me

also, what are some of the best flat to VR conversion mods? I havent tried any yet because I'm still working my way through all the "real" vr games i bought, but I saw some clips of gta / red dead that looked really cool, what are the 'must play' games?

>>379154492
base game expert+ are easy to fluidly hit without relying on wrist flicking, camellia being the exception

>>379159852
They're horrible. I'm really bored of answering this question.

>>379159852
I use one. There are pros and cons to it, depending on how good a one you make/get. The pros are that immersion is 10/10, making long distance sniping shots is easier, and with enough muscle memory you can get a good sense of being able to "ADS", especially snapping to headshots, more reliable than free handing it. If you do a lot of long distance shooting it can really turn you into a terror even without a lot of practice, pulled off loads of across the map kills one after the other with few misses in more open places, such as Blood Gulch in Pavlov.

The biggest con though is that you generally will have little bit slower twitch reactions because of having something physical in your hands and potentially a bit weighty,and in fast paced things even slowing down a little will get you killed. The other is that putting it down and getting things strapped to your chest or pistol can be difficult if you don't get one with a sling on it and detachable magnets for the controllers. And if you do get one of those, then you can sometimes run into issues where you need to fumble a little to get the magnets back in place, which can be mitigated by muscle memory. And lastly, in games where you can't calibrate the physical gunstock on a per gun basis, Contractors is the only one which lets you do this to my knowledge, you sometimes need to correct your aim due to the guns not lining up 1:1. I can't use the cheek rest to brace my head on certain guns in Pavlov because of this, for instance. Pump action shotguns can be awkward to use unless you have one with pump action. You sort of need to throw your hands and whole stock forward and then pull it back to pump the gun.

>>379161318
which? flat games or gun stocks

>>379159852
Terrible for fast games or games with lots of non-rifle hand movement, such as gadgets, equipment, frequent reloads (ITR, Contractors, Pavlov)
Absolutely unbeatable advantage for games where you are solely handling a weapon and reloads are infrequent (Onward)
They were good 2-3 years ago, shitty and outdated now

>>379162667
Reloads actually aren't a big problem on ones with a non magnetic offhand grip, like the VRMKIII, where you sort of grip it like you would a real gun without a foregrip and that's becoming more popular, but otherwise correct.

>>379161765
>immersion is 10/10
>making long distance sniper shots
this is kind of the major selling point for me, holding 'air' with any 2h weapon just immediately kills the immersion. I like bolt action sniping in flat games/IRL but I've hated it so far in every VR game I've tried, and the stocks seem absolutely perfect for that

>putting it down and getting things strapped to your chest
>can't calibrate on a per gun basis
these seem like 'solvable' problems in product design imo, are there not stocks that allow you to manually adjust their length + positioning? Would certainly be more of a pain having to physically adjust for different gun models but it seems doable / usable if you're mostly sticking with one loadout

>>379164265
I'll look into this, any other high quality models/manufacturers to check out? Price isn't really a concern

>>379159852
yeah I love mine in certain games.

>>379165207
This sanlaki stock looks pretty interesting, though it could be hard to get used to it.
https://youtu.be/g09D1NOTCng

>>379165207
>are there not stocks that allow you to manually adjust their length + positioning?
Yes, but maybe I wasn't clear. You can sort of get a 'general' adjustment that'll work for everything with a little adjusting and maybe not perfectly holding the grip like you would a real gun. But if you dial in a specific gun in these games where you can't calibrate per gun, such as Pavlov, you may end up breaking some other guns to be far more inconvenient to aim. And you aren't going to be doing adjustments to your stock midmatch. But if you only use a very small selection of guns it might not be a big issue.

As for things to look at, well it depends a bit on what controllers you're using and where you are. The Q2 is the most popular so it has a fuckton of options, some people have even made pump action stocks for it, like the Kobra Elite, which isn't in stock right now. If you're outside the US, then forget about VRS because they're a small American company and shipping probably sucks. Protube is another major one with many points of adjustment and magnet stocks. It doesn't have the off hand grip like the VRS and Kobra kind of do though, but they're top mounted vs bottom mounted so you may have a little more room to adjust your head.

>>379149505
I've been doing SRP + one quick race at a Monza unmoderated server just to remind me what sim racing is. Monza unmoderated is always pure chaos, but I notice SRP's been sneakily teaching me about car control. Those skinny street tires overloaded with 900HP need help gripping, and my times have been getting better in Monza as a result.

Alright motherfuckers it is that time of the week again! Easter is just around the corner, old times to new times through the entire history of /vrg/ this has been the perfect excuse to slap a bunnygirl suit on your avatar, and have some fun drinking on the weekend. The variety of new bunnysuits is extensive now, if you need help fitting one, post about it in the thread or shop, prefer the thread to get more content here.

Pulsar has still been going on infrequently, and the current C.U. playthrough is approaching it's end. Another playthrough or two will be started up, shockingly the modding scene is just broken mods even after nearly two years. Rip games with zero mod support. Highly recommend playing it now that it has a complete story/campaign.

>>379193812
the UI is a bit better since the 0.8 update with wrist-mounted health and stuff, but I still wish there was a way to move status effects to the wrist.

Payday 2 VR now, come steam group for VC!

I just remembered that if they're doing SLAM directly in the controllers, that means the headset is now free to do hand tracking. Meaning, we can get hand tracking and controller tracking at the same time. Third-parties just need to make a strap accessory and this can be like Index controllers, but better. Or you could use a controller in one hand for locomotion, hand tracking for the other hand to do other stuff, and then have the controller in a holster or gun stock when you need to pick up a gun to use.

>>379288490
It's probably going to be good enough to not bother with a counterweight I think, if they moved the battery into the strap.

>>379285773
No way it's this thin
Hopefully it isn't (or hopefully it is) something similar to Vive Flow because it sure is gonna disappoint everyone

>>379290086
In that particular picture the total thickness is a little hard to judge. It's not that thin.

>>379291128

>>379290086
Pancake lenses are enabling ridiculously small form factors vs current VR Headsets. it's not at all unrealisrtic with several things on the horizon.

>>379297967
Apparently they result in very dim displays with low FoV.

>>379298492
Yes, that's why, if you follow discussion about next gen displays, they are bright as the sun. Because you need stuff several thousand nits bright to get something comparable to what we have right now with pancake lenses. The whole industry is chasing higher res and smaller form factor, FoV is a distant priority for most.

>Phasmophobia got a VR update
Are your hands still black even as a white guy though?

>>379298492
>>379298817
Some elaboration: the idea behind pancake lenses is that instead of letting the light propagate in the air, they use a layer to reflect light back into the lens, and then back in the direction of your eyes. So the light travels the same distance except it bounces around inside of the lens rather than going that distance simply through air. The problem is that you can't easily reflect light using a material but at the same time let light pass through it. So what they have to use are known as half mirrors, like in police interrogation scenes. That means half of the light is lost through a single one of those layers.

That's why pancake lenses need extremely bright displays.
