VR, at it's current state, needs to cost no more than $300 if it wants to sell.
>needs to cost no more than $300 if it wants to sell.
That's exactly what the Quest 2 costs though. morons like you are the problem with Ganker. No one here plays vidya or is even familiar with the thing they're complaining about but must shitpost anyway.
I'd argue the Quest 3 hits that mark with $500 as the upper limit of what would be acceptable.
The reports of higher retention rates for Q3 compared to Q2 seem to indicate that.

The lenses alone are worth the upgrade and being able to wear it without the facial interface a huge deal (with halo strap) will make all the difference in the summer
The point is that current VR is so trash the best option needs to be cheap. Nobody is going to be buying an even shitter version of an already shit product.
>Nobody is going to be buying an even shitter version of an already shit product.
The Quest 2 is still the best selling VR headset so far though.

And the only reason for that is that normalgay consoomers got memed into buying a product they stopped using after a week of novelty. VR is a shit product that doesn't sell and even the most braindead consoomer is now privy to that.
>$600+$3000PC + tip
and now what? there is no content for VR except professional porn which is already dead and Half Life Alyx which is the only real AAA gaming title. Developers gave up on VR because they know nobody is gonna spend $600 on a headset and $3000 on a pc that can run it. They are gonna wait until a $50 headset exists and $300 pc to run it before dumping funds into VR content development.
TLDR: nobody is gonna create VR content until it's affordable to pajeets.
standalone headsets are android phones, PC headsets only have less lag and more clear picture, they lack everything else including a proper web browser
looks like a ((you)) problem, I use Quest2 all the time for blender and adobe after effects for stereo video editing, no monitor or phone can help me with it
If there's any thing poorgays are capable of doing, it's irresponsible spending and scrounging up money for the slop they want. Poorgays with funkopop collections, poorgays with Warhammer armies, poorgays with gaming PCs, poorgays with anime figurines, poorgays dumping thousands into gacha, and most definitely poorgays with VR headsets
The primary Quest demographic is screeching kids. The issue is not price. The Quest 2 is less than half the price of the PS5. The hardware and software both aren't good enough. Everyone wants to come up with some dishonest rhetoric instead of directly solving problems like weight distribution, audio quality, video quality, input uncanny valley, etc
>Everyone wants to come up with some dishonest rhetoric instead of directly solving problems
Anon that would require fricking effort, what are you stupid?
All the problems I've complained about were already solved but doesn't fit the Fortune 500 "vision" of bleeding money.
We have a few good VR games, it can be done.
We have comfortable headsets, it can be done.
Studios have formed and kept themselves alive through VR, it can be done.
But these execs hate all of this because they're too moronic to capitalize on any of it. They buy 50 studios and can't land a single hit, so their view is to burn it all for AR, which is the REAL future that will buy their billionth yacht for real this time :O
And honestly, any VR developer supporting the race to the bottom platforms kinda deserves the landscape they're in, everyone saw this coming.
We won't be even putting on "vr" glasses after 30 years.
It will all be microchips inplanted to our brains. Why even need a physical screen or device infront of your face when you can just implant it to user's brain and have ease of access, enhanced brain activity and any virtual space or environment you want?
The chips are unironically the future and it scares me.
It actually less of a chore than console. You literally Just put it on your head and you're good. Console you'd have like 10 new Tos's to accept and updates and unskippable splash screens and 10 pages of microtransaction ads before you actually get to your game
Its kinda cool, got an Index over the weekend and did some Alyx. Not a great game, but it looks cool. I threw shit off the roof the second I gained control
>i'm watched the screen so close
you aren't watching the screen, you are literally inside the game as far as vision is concerned, my indian friend
People spent a whole decade shitting on stupid motion control bullshit from Gen 7 consoles. Then companies figure the only reason motion control shit failed is because people didn't also have to wear an expensive pair of oversized goggles. Nothing is ever going to beat sitting down with your controller/kbm in hand to enjoy your games, even when titans like Valve are trying to make VR a thing by making actual good games for it. There's a reason we've been playing games the same way for 40 years and the only popular innovation has been wireless versions of the same controllers.

thanks for admitting as such. you're literally like all the 'normal' people who hurled seeeing parallax backgrounds on SNES
you do know the reason motion sickness affects people is BECAUSE their brain believes its real right?
like, the fact my brain is well developed enough yo differentiate modern tech fron reality is why I don't get motion sick.
I do get phantom sense though and shits crazy and I'm happy I do
not getting dizzy like a little b***h is not the same thing as not telling a difference. you're getting motion sick precisely because your brain doesn't know what's going on
You're moronic but I'll give you a tip to get over your motion sickness.
Put a fan on behind you. That way your body has a constant physical sensation to anchor you into reality, thus being able to filter the VR as fake better given it provides no physical feedback.
You can do it weakanon!
I’m honestly kind of jealous, as much as I enjoy VR I can’t accept it as real and it’s always just playing a videogame with a more immersive camera. Sometimes I wish I were dumber like you so I could enjoy things more.

that's how i play vr 80% of the time. VR is a replacement for your monitor, not your desired input device. if you think VR = stand still and waggle at shit then you are actively trying to only consume gimmicky shit exclusively.
there are loads of tools for putting a VR viewpoint into older games

Literally what is the point of VR if you aren't at least using headtracking.
>VR mods don't have head tracking
what kind of moron are you, seriously...
Posts I was quoting was on how VR and motion control are not necessarily connected, yet you say pretty much every VR application is using headtracking, which is a motion control. Again my point is, most people playing video games are doing it to be lazy, they don't want to have to move other parts of their body to play a game, even if its just their neck. No matter how immersive or enjoyable it can be, it ultimately makes gaming less convenient, which is one of the biggest selling points for anything in the gaming market.
No. You're being overly autistic. Headtracking has always existed in VR otherwise it's just a 3d viewer.
VR headsets have been sold without motion controllers. Oculus DK1 DK2, the original CV1 came with xbox controller. PSVR1 etc

I don't think they're gonna invent a GPU that can run MSFS at 8K 90FPS for like 20 years at least
I can't even run my Quest 3 at full resolution FFS
I run a Crystal with 5100x4200 resolution and get higher FPS than my Aero running 4400x3600
The Pimax VR object occlusion and DFR is godlike in a lot of games.

Cant argue there but its guaranteed a technological dead end without the killer apps to sell it.

I used that mod and can confirm it makes the game feel like a native VR title. The deep sea is indeed terrifying and it took me hours before I felt comfortable exploring.

Fricking
I'd take a bowling sim
You could make a game like that one REALLY fricking old tech demo for the OLD OLD oculus rift where you play as a big golem dude and help a little man do platforming.
You can just make a game that's a platformer and you can move around fixed point where the camera sits behind the character.
>You could make a game like that one REALLY fricking old tech demo for the OLD OLD oculus rift where you play as a big golem dude and help a little man do platforming
They did, but on PSVR.
>still peaked at Alyx
I mean the whole thing is worth it for Alyx.
People go to theme parks to see shit that isn't 1/50 as interesting nor mind blowing and there's a full 10 hours (plus fan content) of it.
Call it a tech demo, call it whatever you want, it's the single greatest experience in PC gaming since Half Life 2. It's like a game you'd expect to exist in 2035, but we have it. Right now.
i dont know, but years ago I watch ONE vr porn video on a fricking samsung galaxy with google cardboard and it kick my brain so hard that I came handsfree in under a minute.
it's weird how i had no issue with the quest 2 when i first got it, now i can't stand how low res/blurry it is. the quest 3 apparently fixes this but there's no games i care to play. 95% bottom of the barrel indie cash grabs , and the other 5% just don't appeal to me

how hasn't there been a congressional investigation into this shit?
facebook literally just put out asgard's wrath 2 a couple months ago
the problem is that, like most VR games, it's not very good and is definitely not worth the asking price
That's the worst game you could make in VR. Riven and the other Myst sequels are gigantic worlds yet meant to be traversed in seconds by clicking from 2D scene to 2D scene. Traversing the world in 3D/VR is going to turn the game into a huge chore. Like Uru.
I disagree. Riven's on 5 tiny islands and I don't see any reason to have to zip around at light speed in a slow paced adventure game. If anything, the absolute worst parts of Riven were related to its point-and-click nature because there were a bunch of transitions that were totally unintuitive and annoying doors hidden by the forced perspective. What I want out of Riven is to be able to look at the world they created in as much detail as possible.
Also it's funny that you say it was meant to be traversed in seconds when the game used to require swapping CDs every time you got on a rail.
I think so, I got it fairly recently and there was a big update in January and another coming soon. I got to the third boss and he wiped his ass with me. I just got the sniper rifle, it's pretty fun.
Probably give it 20 years and it will be something interesting. If you live that long that is. Lets be real, us peasants will get drafted to some war by our neocon leaders sooner or later. Life is shit when you're from the working class or lower.
So much for the tolerant liberal left.
I got Resident Evil 4 vr and the game doesn't let you perv on or molest Ashley smdh. Also her head is fricking tiny, she also comes up to like my shoulders which is kinda sexy.
Yeah I kinda regret getting a vr headset. I don't like standing and moving around while im gaming, tires me out, plus there arent many worthwhile games that arent short 'experiences'
True, but that's still vr + waggle controls if it was vr + m+kb i would consider it.
In fact thats whats come out recently with the unreal(?) shit. But I havent been bothered to dig out my headset.
>spend a few hours trying to troubleshoot SteamVR issues >eventually come to the conclusion that what I want to do is impossible
What did I want to do? Use a regular controller in VR to send inputs to a SteamVR controller. Yeah, that's not allowed, says Gaben. Heaven forbid some zoomer use a program to add a virtual bump stock to his VR controller with a macro, right?

>every single person reviewing the dark souls weapon mods or maps never played dark souls
make it good and affordable and it will sell like cocaine.
do you not realize how many vr porn games there are? pretty much any illusion game, especially koikatsu, works in vr, and theres numerous other games that are literally designed for cooming
I never admitted it was alive. I would have done so if we had a resurgence in grid-based first-person dungeon crawlers, which seemed like a no brainer to me with a display system that does first person and where non-teleportation movement makes you sick but apparently I don't know shit because nobody made any of those for VR.
So how do I find people to talk to in VRChat? I do not care about LARPs, ERPs, etc. I just want to find people to socialize with. Or is it better to find an actual game for that like Phasmaphobia?
Congrats, I've been playing it on like Quest 3 like I said, and I've had some problems with the microphone, like it runs fine, but it's a little fricky getting in game comms working, it's fine on Index though.
>get index from valve >headset is defective and malfunctions about half the time >have a great time when it works >ask for warranty >valve refuses multiple times >refuse to get another because frick you valve >now have a bunch of useless vr peripherals >still love vr and cant play it
Highly recommend Virtual Desktop if you're on a Quest 3 and you've got a good gpu.
The streaming resolution is 2x as much as steam link it's ridiculous (1500px vs 3000px). Even the occulus link software is higher res like 2200px.
I dunno wtf they're doing at valve with steam link but if it wasn't a "it just work" solution people wouldn't use it at all. That or not knowing any better.
doubt it would be capable of running it at max
here's what the program settings are:
Potato: 1440x1536
Low: 1728x1824
Medium: 2016x2112
High: 2496x2592
Ultra: 2688x2784
Godlike: 3072x3216 (Quest Pro/Quest 3)
If you have the Oculus software installed, you go into C:Program FilesOculusSupportoculus-diagnostics and run OculusDebugTool.exe
In the Occulus Link sub-section you change the encode resolution width. Put a very high number it doesn't matter it'll get clamped down to anyway by the software.
In the actual occulus software you set your target FPS (72, 80, 90, 120) and resolution you set it so the vertical resolution is like 2200.
Once you boot steam VR, always set the steamvr resolution of your games at 100%, higher than this and you're basically applying antialiasing by upsampling.
If you can get maintain good fps at that resolution with your card then consider getting virtual desktop and using the High/Ultra/Godlike settings because it's the only way to get higher resolution images coming to the headset.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I'm using a cable so that's why I put the bitrate at 500.
If you're playing wireless there's no way you can sustain such a high bitrate without a 6E router so change the codec to H265 and drop the bitrate to 200 or 150 if it's too choppy.
Also here's some conservative settings in the Occulus app for graphics
unrelated but how does this resolution setting work?
You'd think that putting it above 1.0 would start supersampling but on my client 4224x 2272 isn't even 1.0 resolution
Well if you're on loonix it's your moral duty to use ALVR instead, and you can set up any kind of resolution on that thing but it'll take you a month to fine tune the encode settings so it runs well
you don't NEED to but it depends on a bunch of factors
VD comes with a bunch of encoder settings, h264, h265 and av1.
newer encoder are more performant at the same bitrate but take longer to encode and decode
h264 at 500mbps is better than AV1 at 200mbps but the difference is I can't sustain 500mbps wireless with my wifi6 router while 200mbps is just fine
Wifi 6 is 70$ for a unit while 6E is 170$ for the cheapest one (tp-link) and up to 250 for great ones.
Thanks for explaining.
I was planning on picking up the D-link Air bridge since meta sells it but after looking into it more I'm reading it kind of sucks for VD and to use a 6E router instead. Personally I'm fine with paying an extra ~150 if it means my experience will be better
>buy a gunstock for my VR controllers >feels exactly like wielding a rifle except for the recoil >play 500 hours of contractos and Breachers
surprised this tech hasn't taken off with /k/ virgins and airsoft dudes
What kinda gunstock did you get, I was playing both H3vr and like Into the Radius and playing without one feels awful and is almost impossible for me to aim in vr
Got this one, i prefer to get one configuration that fits most games and guns rather than adjusting it for each individual situation
This one does that, at the cost of not fitting perfectly for certain games
Did you get the bhaptic vest as well? I heard it can simulator shoulder recoil on top of feeling pain when getting shot
I did not, but it seems really cool and i will get one eventually
VR is way too much of a hassle if you want anything even vaguely realistic. I've got a tracked PPgun I picked up cheap, half the buttons don't work because "lol steamVR input", but it has recoil which is alright.
You still run into basic issues like reloading and shit getting in the way. Plus, unless you own a warehouse, you're not going to be able to run around for the full larp. Maybe one day we'll have VR tracked gloves with plastic peripherals, but even then you run into problems with feedback.
Vox Machinae is good but not great. It really needed a higher budget for the campaign and some decent co-op missions. The giant clunky mech feeling is great but the game only shines in multiplayer because the campaign isn't intense or varied enough.

If you have a pc, you're basically not touching vr native games. Devs are morons this gen (competency crisis) and can't handle anything not spoonfed to them. Theres not enough Trans bipoc esg money in vr for them gay it up so instead they pay pajeets to make these threads hoping to stem the bleeding of market share.

Besides Alyx, what are some good VR games? I'm a big fan of horror, less so of shooters; only played Alyx because I grew up with Half Life. I played Hellblade and enjoyed it, how it its VR mode?
Into the Radius has amazing atmosphere, but it's shooter first and foremost. Can't think of any horror-adventure, can only say that gameplay-wise, two things 100% worth checking out are racing sims in general and project wingman
oh, thinking about it, people were hyping subnautica in VR a whole lot
Thanks I completely forgot the RE games had VR. Also that list says Meta Quest, aren't those tied to a Meta/FB/Instagram account? I have an Index and thought Meta stuff had to be linked to social media and software was installed to the headset itself. I didn't do much research into it while deciding between the Vive and Index based on that assumption

Adventure games are amazing in VR. That's probably the closest you get to VR horror games without shooting. Things like Red Matter, 7th Guest, and maybe Outer Wilds even though it's not explicitly horror. For more traditional horror stuff, Resident Evil games on RE engine (so 7 and 8) have good VR mods. For an experience you can actually put some hours in, Phasmophobia actually started out as a VR game and probably still works best in VR.

Thanks, I'm saving these lists. Is the VR for Alien built in? I played on both 360 and PC and don't remember a PC option but that games great, and I will absolutely figure out how to use Visage since I liked that game a lot.
To play Alien Isolation in VR you have to use a mod called "MotherVR"
It works pretty well since it just builds on a scrapped official VR version that is in the game already
Most racing/wienerpit sims
Subnautica
Alien Isolation
Hellblade 1
Moss
You can also basically play ANY UE4/5 game with just the VR headset and regular controls now, thanks to the Preydog UEVR Injector
>You can also basically play ANY UE4/5 game with just the VR headset and regular controls now, thanks to the Preydog UEVR Injector
Wait, isn't this ue5?
I'm sad it is
I wanted to get one but it never really crossed over into being worth the hassle when most games were gimmicks and there weren't enough full-features titles or upcoming actual games instead of gimmicks and cash-ins for me to think I'd still be using the thing a year later
There's a ton of great games and mods with full motion controls
I've had VR for 2 years and I'm still discovering crazy experiences I've never felt in normal gaming.
You need a heavy gaming PC to get the best out of it though, poorgays with their 8 year old GPUs are not going to be able to run it well
Pretty sure my 1080 is like a decade old and still chugs along most stuff. Only hadn't bothered trying cyberpunk. Heard some guy got Borderlands 3 VR running on a 970
970 was capable of early consumer VR headsets like the CV1 and even the Rift S. I played Skyrim VR and Alyx on a 970 albeit lowest settings for Alyx, still looked decent. I just about got by in Pavlov too but I doubt it would be playable anymore in the current version.
The much higher resolutions of headsets like the Quest 3 combined with it's encoding cost has driven up PCVR hardware requirements. Except for the ability to play without a wire it still plays the same as on a CV1 with touch controllers.

The crispness of a high resolution headset is great. It feels like you're really there and not looking at some blurry, jagged edged 3d model. If you pair it up with a game that has 4k/8k textures then you're basically in another world.
I can't believe IOI just shat out the shittiest VR port ever and never bothered to do anything with it
Hitman is like 1 QoL patch away form being the greatest VR game on the market
I love watching movies on my VR set. The screen is enormous, it appears bigger than my room. There's also some fun SteamVR multiplayer rooms where you can run around interacting with other people
I know there's a new vr native one but there was an older one as well. I know cause I got it in a homeworld bundle a while back for uevr like a year ago but never got around to playing it and that was long before the announcement of the new one
For the exact same reasons everyone always says, there's jack shit to do with it after the initial hype wears off, not to mention it's like 10x as expensive as a quest which is a bafflingly stupid decision
Has anyone played Into the Backrooms? I know >hurr durr liminal space zoomie
But I'm trying to check out all the good co-op and spooky stuff I can find
The thing that really killed PCVR was devs seeing how much higher sales were on Quest 2. Suddenly every PCVR dev slowed or stopped development to focus on getting a Quest port out and new games were being designed entirely around Quest 2 hardware limits.
>but muh headset weight! >but muh headset size! >but muh cables! >but muh screen resolution and screendoor effect! >but muh lense artifacts! >but you need a $1500 gaming PC for VR!
This thing resolved almost all issues people were having with VR back in 2016.
They recently introduced inside out upper body tracking so you no longer need trackers for anything but your legs if you want FBT.
Same reason why PC has barely anything outside of 2D platformers and rougelikes.
Because you can't compete with phones when it comes to dumb goys buying shit.
I still cycle games on my Quest2 daily.
>weight

you need a 4000 gaming PC or you aren't doing it right

Streaming your PC content is obviously the way to go if you want to do it properly but standalone is decent enough if you're a dumb poorgay.
It's dead unless Valve decides to not scan and harvest your face and interior of your home like meta does
You could not pay me to put a quest 3 in my house

God I hate this fricking place and morons like you. We can never have a serious discussion about any topic at all. Fricking hell. You people really have nothing better to do eh?
i think that time has long since passed and was already a known fact. my headset has been collecting dust for at least half a year now. most fun ive had wasnt the offiical games as well, it was modding games into vr.
Well timed thread.
I was just thinking about buying VR for the PS4. I feel the prices have come down to where I'm comfortable investing in it just so I can play Monster of the Deep and Summer Lessons.
What do you guys think? Please refrain from replying to my post if you haven't experienced PS4 VR first hand.
I'm waiting till VR gets more standardized. and more plug & play. (This will never happen)
Currently almost every new headset uses a slightly different tracking solution, which means you can't use controllers from other headsets.
Meaning it all becomes e-waste when the headset stops working, or is no longer supported.
I've been trying it again recently. Aside from actual vr games I kinda wanna just play a 2D game with a nice VR environment. I wanna feel like im not in my shitty apartment
>new games are shit (95% of it, rest dont meed newest hardware, maybe you miss like 1 game worth playing) >every app is skewed towards wasting your time and positioning adds everywhere, same with headset devs >vr is shit despite some vr chat for shit and giggles.
I may became a boomer but no new cutting edge shit exite me anymore.
8k hd? No releases (even 4k suffers from it), new consoles? No games, same with new graphic card/pc hardware.
Why to bother with new tech when theres nothing worth it to run it on in first place. >new
>new games are shit (95% of it, rest dont meed newest hardware, maybe you miss like 1 game worth playing)
What games?
>every app is skewed towards wasting your time and positioning adds everywhere, same with headset devs

So you're a troony, lol
Current headsets have a fixed focal point between 1 and 2 meters. They're less likely to induce myopia than starting at a monitor (typically much closer than 1-2 meters) for long periods of time.
Eye strain is a bigger issue for VR:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergence-accommodation_conflict
The most underrated risk of VR is postural. Additional weight on the head makes developing forward head posture and rounded shoulders even more likely. If you play VR and spend a ton of time sat at a desk you're at the highest risk as both can lead to poor posture.
Should push the VR porn aspect harder because that's the only reason I've ever considered buying one right now. I might buy one to play Halflife 3 when it comes out for VR (If it ever actually does) in conjunction with the porn.
The original game was great, but unfortunately the devs are being israeli and releasing a remake just two years later, with no word of a discount (it should be free) for existing owners. Even if it looks like a good overhaul, that's insane. They also announced a sequel so I'm guessing they're trying to make money towards that
>zuck forcibly deprecating the quest 1 by banning devs from making new games for it
this is the most pathetic thing he's done yet kek
i wonder how much longer the 2 has
>i wonder how much longer the 2 has
Probably significantly longer. The Quest 2 wasn't discontinued after the Quest 3 launched like the Quest 1 was when Q2 launched.
It's not like any quest games released in the last two years even supported Q1 anyway.
Actually the writing on the wall it is and why they're dropping the price (Wal-Mart was 150$) the replacement will be the quest 3 lite. Quest 2 optics with quest 3 processor
Pretty sure the Quest 3 Lite is specifically for the Chinese market.
Regardless I still see the Quest 2 receiving much longer software support than the Quest 1. Like I said before new games stopped being made for Quest 1 a while before now simply because its hardware was so limited in comparison to Quest 2, and Q2 compared to Q3 doesn't have that bad of an issue.
No, its time to hire chad and sexy girls to say wow i love my VR and so does my gorlfriend, keep doing that a year and eventually boomers pay anything to be just like Arnold VRnegger
We don't want them. We don't want normal gays aaa'in our vr. In fact that's why it's good. Vr is basically gaming in the 2000s although that probably mostly cause the mods are old games in a gen where all new games suck and new devs literally hate gamers. If you want to keep gaming and not give nu devs money, vr is the best way to do so. And it makes nu "devs" seethe.
This, but it reminds me more of the 90’s. Gaming on PC back then was uncommon and you had to get familiar with a piece of tech barely anyone had. I was the only one in my group of friends who even had a family computer and of course no one I know now has a VR headset. There was a shitload of DOS slop in the shareware era too, like VR slop now except you have to pay for most of it. VR hasn’t even had its Doom equivalent yet. I’m willing to put up with fewer quality releases if it means a smaller community. I don’t mind, I’ll do something else if there’s nothing to play. We already know what happens when anything gets flooded with plebs.

do i splurge for a quest 3 to get deep into pcvr like skyrim and half life alyx or do i wait
supposedly Sony is adding PCVR support to the PSVR2 so you might not need to buy another headset, I'm kinda tempted on getting one but i'll wait it they do follow up on it
>supposedly Sony is adding PCVR support to the PSVR2
yeah thats what i meant by waiting. for what its worth ive had nothing but good experiences with the psvr2. its convenient, and the only real complaint is that youre tethered to the console. the visuals in the games are very fricking solid and the resident evil games are top notch
I forgot about that. Wireless tho (I guess more important for a bigger house) I walk around with it on so I always have my pc with me. Actually sit at the kitchen table now. With steamvr custom background and virtual desktop chroma key passthrough you can have apple vision pro style unlimited monitors everywhere
yeah you're right the wireless feature with the quest 3 is more convenient and it has better lenses as well I might just pull the trigger on it

No reason to wait unless you're in the bracket for a 2000$ hmd. The next roll outs will be avp clones with matching res, oled varient around a 2k price point. But everything good for the next at least 2 years will be mods, especially since mainstream has chosen the woke hill to die on
100% worth it just to play PCVR games and mods
If you've never played games like Outer Wilds, Subnautica, or Alien Isolation you got some real gems waiting for you that are actually fully featured games
Horror games like Phasmo and Lethal Company (its a mod that's near seamless).
Firmament which is mainly Cyan Worlds puzzle game eye candy.
Elite Dangerous if you have enough autism.
Maybe I’m weird but my favorite aspect of VR games is the return of the Wii’s pointer gameplay and the potential of 2 pointers. I wish devs would play around more with diorama style 3rd person rail shooters. Imagine a Sin and Punishment game in 3D where you’re not only managing your movement but two different streams of bullets and enemy patterns that require you to split your focus 3 ways.
Returnal vr might scratch that itch. Supposedly is first person bullet hell with the uevr mod. Not many games go akimbo without a penalty and usually the ones that do suck (bad systems)
Really good. I love the feeling of flying around in space. Some parts were terrifying, but others were comfy. At the end of every loop I would find a spot to sit down, watch the fireworks, and think about what I learned.
The whole thing was a spiritual experience, and I still constantly think about it.
Im imagining a Civilization game where you just walk around on the tiles with ur bros in godmode shooting the shit and you can go down to ground level in your civilization to build stuff then return to the war room with your bros when you are done with your turn
It's always a huge pain in the ass to find good VR porn. First you have to actually find a video you like. Then hope it's in they right format. Then try and play it in whatever video player you're using, which wont be setup to play whatever video you picked. Just uuuuhg.
>99% of VR porn with the guy lying down on his back?
because it's the "best" position for a non moving camera in vr180, flat 3d porn from 2010 didn't have such limitations
it'll never take off because the games that truly take advantage of the tech can't simply be ported to/from major platforms, so you'll never see anywhere near enough devs invest the required effort to make the sort of games that are system sellers.
It won't "take off" but it's slowly growing and will continue to grow. There's a reason that companies like Facebook, Sony, and Apple are all still investing billions into R&D. They want a slice of the market before it gets big.
its really good for porn but the stupid israelite directors won't let them titfrick for more than .2 seconds before they're all like >hey do you want to see my disgusting pussy for 30 minutes
no b***h, frick off
why is this so hard

>but cant afford a 600$ headset
huh
>an extremely versatile and useful tool that provides you tons of optional features upon base necessities
>an overpriced, gimmicky goggle that gives you one thing which it's not even good at
VR, at it's current state, needs to cost no more than $300 if it wants to sell.
It costs less than 300.
>needs to cost no more than $300 if it wants to sell.
That's exactly what the Quest 2 costs though. morons like you are the problem with Ganker. No one here plays vidya or is even familiar with the thing they're complaining about but must shitpost anyway.
And is it the premium option with all the best features?
Why would the best be the cheapest homosexual. Go back to India
I'd argue the Quest 3 hits that mark with $500 as the upper limit of what would be acceptable.
The reports of higher retention rates for Q3 compared to Q2 seem to indicate that.
The lenses alone are worth the upgrade and being able to wear it without the facial interface a huge deal (with halo strap) will make all the difference in the summer
I imagine the Quest 3 is better than quest 2, but Quest 2 released at $300 and was the best VR headset at the time.
>it needs to be cheap
>but it also needs to be premium
so which is it?
The point is that current VR is so trash the best option needs to be cheap. Nobody is going to be buying an even shitter version of an already shit product.
>Nobody is going to be buying an even shitter version of an already shit product.
The Quest 2 is still the best selling VR headset so far though.
And the only reason for that is that normalgay consoomers got memed into buying a product they stopped using after a week of novelty. VR is a shit product that doesn't sell and even the most braindead consoomer is now privy to that.
>$600+$3000PC + tip
and now what? there is no content for VR except professional porn which is already dead and Half Life Alyx which is the only real AAA gaming title. Developers gave up on VR because they know nobody is gonna spend $600 on a headset and $3000 on a pc that can run it. They are gonna wait until a $50 headset exists and $300 pc to run it before dumping funds into VR content development.
TLDR: nobody is gonna create VR content until it's affordable to pajeets.
Poor people don't buy games so that's a silly argument. If you can't afford a 150 dollar Quest 2 you can't afford a 60 dollar game for it
Quest is standalone, no pc needed
that's like including the cost of a house to your electricity bill moron
I can actually use my phone. My headset is a piece of junk
standalone headsets are android phones, PC headsets only have less lag and more clear picture, they lack everything else including a proper web browser
I meant that my phone has real utility. I can call people I can take pictures I can edit them I can email I can do all sorts of things
looks like a ((you)) problem, I use Quest2 all the time for blender and adobe after effects for stereo video editing, no monitor or phone can help me with it
This is like complaining about paying for a Ganker since you can't take pictures on it. Come on now.
can your phone take and replay 3d videos?
This. You can be a homeless bum, but not having an iPhone is a no-no.
>made up argument that has no actual basis at all
>thinking Ganker posters are the ones purchasing new iphones
If there's any thing poorgays are capable of doing, it's irresponsible spending and scrounging up money for the slop they want. Poorgays with funkopop collections, poorgays with Warhammer armies, poorgays with gaming PCs, poorgays with anime figurines, poorgays dumping thousands into gacha, and most definitely poorgays with VR headsets
post your PC specs
I'd buy one if it had any games, I don't care about shovelware like beat saber or write on a wall simulator like Alyx
As long the best games are a glorified skyrim I don't care
if you have a PC game you like that more than 10K people bought, it'll have some kind of VR mod / plugin
If normies can buy $500 consoles in mass they could afford a 299,- quest 2(which they did and got bored off within a month)
>299,- quest 2
Lol no it won't. The point of gaming is to relax and enjoy your time. VR is a chore, nothing is going to change that.
>I'm too fat to play VR without having a heart attack even sitting down
>I'm also unemployed and mommy won't buy me one
Whatever you have to tell yourself to justify your purchase, mr. moneybags fricking kek.
>Says the person posting this by stealing McDonald's wifi

I bought a quest 3, it was 500 at Walmart. I have 2005 Mini.

You have to have a care to do that :^)
Besides my car is much faster than your nonexistent one.
Car*
dumbass
True, but my car is still faster.
If you didn't spend so much money on food maybe you could afford a headset.
>sacrificing sustenance and life energy for a fricking meme
The primary Quest demographic is screeching kids. The issue is not price. The Quest 2 is less than half the price of the PS5. The hardware and software both aren't good enough. Everyone wants to come up with some dishonest rhetoric instead of directly solving problems like weight distribution, audio quality, video quality, input uncanny valley, etc
>Everyone wants to come up with some dishonest rhetoric instead of directly solving problems
Anon that would require fricking effort, what are you stupid?
All the problems I've complained about were already solved but doesn't fit the Fortune 500 "vision" of bleeding money.
We have a few good VR games, it can be done.
We have comfortable headsets, it can be done.
Studios have formed and kept themselves alive through VR, it can be done.
But these execs hate all of this because they're too moronic to capitalize on any of it. They buy 50 studios and can't land a single hit, so their view is to burn it all for AR, which is the REAL future that will buy their billionth yacht for real this time :O
And honestly, any VR developer supporting the race to the bottom platforms kinda deserves the landscape they're in, everyone saw this coming.
We won't be even putting on "vr" glasses after 30 years.
It will all be microchips inplanted to our brains. Why even need a physical screen or device infront of your face when you can just implant it to user's brain and have ease of access, enhanced brain activity and any virtual space or environment you want?
The chips are unironically the future and it scares me.
Why is my VR headset collecting dust while i game on my PC?
Because it's a chore to get ready for VR and the games suck
Really my biggest issue and it happens with most gaming peripherals. It's cumbersome to put on and play.
It actually less of a chore than console. You literally Just put it on your head and you're good. Console you'd have like 10 new Tos's to accept and updates and unskippable splash screens and 10 pages of microtransaction ads before you actually get to your game

nta i dont even use VR but you are the one coping my guy
>???
Yeah I already know you're stupid, you can read my post again if it confused you. Slowly this time
no i understood what you were trying to convey im just confused as to how that fricking changes anything
>psuedointellectual drivel with no basis in reality other then the vague recollection of some pop science fact
you are a moron who doesn't understand how the brain functions beyond the surface level so don't try and pass yourself off as somebody who knows shit about mental acuity and intelligence
what the frick is this projection
>waaaa the movement has to be real but i can't feel it blleeuuurgh waaaaaa VR bad
>the movement has to be real but i can't feel it blleeuuurgh
Yes that's a normal brain responding in a normal way. If your brain gets conflicting data, it assumes that one of the data streams is corrupt and tries to fix it. Yours doesn't do that. That's why you're so stupid if you've ever wondered
>i'm a normalgay that can't handle VR
thanks for admitting as such. you're literally like all the 'normal' people who hurled seeeing parallax backgrounds on SNES
now here is some genuine next level sour grapes cope
you do know the reason motion sickness affects people is BECAUSE their brain believes its real right?
like, the fact my brain is well developed enough yo differentiate modern tech fron reality is why I don't get motion sick.
I do get phantom sense though and shits crazy and I'm happy I do
not getting dizzy like a little b***h is not the same thing as not telling a difference. you're getting motion sick precisely because your brain doesn't know what's going on
You're moronic but I'll give you a tip to get over your motion sickness.
Put a fan on behind you. That way your body has a constant physical sensation to anchor you into reality, thus being able to filter the VR as fake better given it provides no physical feedback.
You can do it weakanon!
>get over your motion sickness.
I play VR to get motion sick and dizzy
Thank you doctor.
I’m honestly kind of jealous, as much as I enjoy VR I can’t accept it as real and it’s always just playing a videogame with a more immersive camera. Sometimes I wish I were dumber like you so I could enjoy things more.
>motion sick
i love this
>"i'm a genetic dead end and mental midget that can't separate their 5 senses long enough to enjoy something novel"
i bet you see a white and gold dress too
>my body is tuned to perform in the real world. It understands when something isn’t right and it is being lied to
>this means my genes are shit
Way to out your objective inferiority bro
>get motion sick playing shitty tech demo games
VR in a nutshell
People spent a whole decade shitting on stupid motion control bullshit from Gen 7 consoles. Then companies figure the only reason motion control shit failed is because people didn't also have to wear an expensive pair of oversized goggles. Nothing is ever going to beat sitting down with your controller/kbm in hand to enjoy your games, even when titans like Valve are trying to make VR a thing by making actual good games for it. There's a reason we've been playing games the same way for 40 years and the only popular innovation has been wireless versions of the same controllers.
>Nothing is ever going to beat sitting down with your controller/kbm in hand to enjoy your games
that's how i play vr 80% of the time. VR is a replacement for your monitor, not your desired input device. if you think VR = stand still and waggle at shit then you are actively trying to only consume gimmicky shit exclusively.
there are loads of tools for putting a VR viewpoint into older games
>if you engage with VR mechanics you're not REALLY playing VR games
VR threads are always a collection of the most moronic takes possible
motion controls are separate to vr.
motion controls exist without vr
VR exists without motion controls
>if you play mario galaxy instead of boom blox you didn't play wii
>if you played rune factory 4 instead of face raiders you didn't play a 3DS

Literally what is the point of VR if you aren't at least using headtracking.
who said anything about not using headtracking?
>VR mods don't have head tracking
what kind of moron are you, seriously...
>he hasn't played tf2 in VR
laugh! laugh at him!
Posts I was quoting was on how VR and motion control are not necessarily connected, yet you say pretty much every VR application is using headtracking, which is a motion control. Again my point is, most people playing video games are doing it to be lazy, they don't want to have to move other parts of their body to play a game, even if its just their neck. No matter how immersive or enjoyable it can be, it ultimately makes gaming less convenient, which is one of the biggest selling points for anything in the gaming market.
No. You're being overly autistic. Headtracking has always existed in VR otherwise it's just a 3d viewer.
VR headsets have been sold without motion controllers. Oculus DK1 DK2, the original CV1 came with xbox controller. PSVR1 etc
>Headtracking has always existed in VR
actually the DK1 and HD prototypes didn't use headtracking, that was only implemented with the "Crystal Cove" model.
Yes it did moron. It could track 2dof but not 3dof.
headtracking is 6dof, dumbass
yeah confused off motion sim. doesn't change anything I wrote.
?
>p-people are just poor! Just wait 2 more years and it will go mainstream!
it'll win when it's fulldive instead of this gay screen strapped to your face shit
elongay definitely jacks it to that thought so you'll at least see that shit hyped everywhere once neuralink becomes two-way
Just one more headset bro.
Just one more please bro I beg you.
We just need 1 more headset and everyone will love and buy vr
Pleae bro you don't get it man we are so close.
Just one more headset this time for sure bro.
Too expensive
No games
Have little sister at home
just be a questie moron, you don't have to mortgage your house to have a fun experience
as for the last part just kill her tbh
if you don't like vr, you don't like video games
simple as
>I can use vr to have vr sex and with no other stimulation it has been enough to make me cum hands free irl.
no toys, no touching, nothing.
just brain and visual.
like, it's gay as frick sure, and weird as frick sure, but I can't deny how good it feels keeps me addicted to vr.
luv VR
simple as
kigurumi is the creepiest most moronic shit ever
I don't need a VR headset to enjoy a bunch of cute boys rubbing me all over.
whats the point of the kigu if he's in vr???
Avoiding a jumpscare when taking off the headset.
vr sux dudes
sure it's super immersive and the headset are rly good but u play 20minutes and then you're tired
fukin wii wagglin shit man I just want to sit on my couch and play rdr2 with a gamepad ya feel me
>tfw my beyond is a month late and no update in sight
it's ogre isn't it
small indie company please understand
I'll have my 3.5k per eye oled pimax before it arrives. deep down you know this
How the frick can you even drive 3500 per eye
I don't think they're gonna invent a GPU that can run MSFS at 8K 90FPS for like 20 years at least
I can't even run my Quest 3 at full resolution FFS
I run a Crystal with 5100x4200 resolution and get higher FPS than my Aero running 4400x3600
The Pimax VR object occlusion and DFR is godlike in a lot of games.
>local dimming
lol
PSVR2 PC drivers will nail the coffin shut on BSB lol
>my 3.5k per eye oled pimax
good luck with your 10lb headset
>1920x1920 90hz
such specifications lol
And upscaling. With super-sampling on top of that it’s a non-issue.
Exclusivity is strangling it in the cradle.
It's not dead, It's just niche.
As it should be.
This.
FRICK OFF WE'RE FULL
Please go back to your triple AAA goyslop or indiepixelshit
this
once it becomes a mainstream thing it's gonna go to shit
The only real games are Beat saber, Alex, boneworx and those spy games.
VR chat, the music maker and stuff like pavlov are fun but they arent sellers.
>those spy games.
?
Had to look up. I expect you to die 1 & 2
Virtuoso is the music one also
>they aren't sellers
Good. Keep my fun hobby niche, filters out the people I don't like.
No market, no games chud.
>no games
You are moronic, I have plenty fun with what does come out. Not my fault Ganker is infested with morons that think anything below AAA "quality" is shit.
What does come out was basicly off the back of facebook burning their mountain of money subsidising the install base. That appears to be ending. Who will dev for a dead or ultraneish system?
Enough will for me to get my money's worth.
Cant argue there but its guaranteed a technological dead end without the killer apps to sell it.
Im pretty disappointed Valve only had Alyx in the tank. Id love to see them try a mech game or a VR RTS or something.
>VR RTS
there's a Homeworld VR game coming
Mite b kewl. Id be interested in something like Ruse or DEFCON over a war-table
A Silent Hunter VR game could be amazing if done right.
there are killer apps for it:
porn and sims
for other kinds of games, its more of a stretch, but as alyx showed, it can definitely work
but porn and sims, man, vr was fricking made for those.
Fricking Tropico VR is now being shilled to me as I log in into my israelitebook vision.
Gonna test it out later.
Also try Guardians VR.
the resolution for tropico is awfully low
pirate quest game optimizer and use that to increase it
skyrimVR alone can be almost any game you want it to
Is VR for Skyrim directly integrated into the main game or a separate mod? The latter would hold me back from reinstalling.
skyrim VR is a standalone game, it's even on PSVR, but without mods it's jank just like the flat version
it's a separate SE fork and lacks certain features later added to SE and AE, like ESL support
it's Alyx tier (or even better if you ignore some jank) with proper mods
ESL support actually got modded in.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/106712
If its like the godawful subnautica support Ill pass
why did they even bother?
>subnautica
I played it a bit last year with this mod that adds proper motion controls for everything https://github.com/Okabintaro/SubmersedVR/releases
I had to stop because I was getting terrified exploring the depths. The first area is extremely beautiful on newer headsets
I used that mod and can confirm it makes the game feel like a native VR title. The deep sea is indeed terrifying and it took me hours before I felt comfortable exploring.
>2024
>Options for firing up a big virtual screen to play my vidya on or watch DVDs is still virtual desktop which is windows only for no reason
>VR games still peaked at Alyx and the gameplay for everything else is almost exclusively Pick Up The Thing And Put It Where It Goes
It's like complaining about all those games on the NES being the same because it's all platformers where you move, jump and shoot.
Shit like space channel 5 VR exists
Fricking
I'd take a bowling sim
You could make a game like that one REALLY fricking old tech demo for the OLD OLD oculus rift where you play as a big golem dude and help a little man do platforming.
You can just make a game that's a platformer and you can move around fixed point where the camera sits behind the character.
>You could make a game like that one REALLY fricking old tech demo for the OLD OLD oculus rift where you play as a big golem dude and help a little man do platforming
They did, but on PSVR.
>still peaked at Alyx
I mean the whole thing is worth it for Alyx.
People go to theme parks to see shit that isn't 1/50 as interesting nor mind blowing and there's a full 10 hours (plus fan content) of it.
Call it a tech demo, call it whatever you want, it's the single greatest experience in PC gaming since Half Life 2. It's like a game you'd expect to exist in 2035, but we have it. Right now.
Look, I like Alyx, I really do. Great time.
Greatest thing in PC since Half Life 2? Can't agree with you on there.
i dont know, but years ago I watch ONE vr porn video on a fricking samsung galaxy with google cardboard and it kick my brain so hard that I came handsfree in under a minute.
I played galgun vr and had to wash my underwear
>It's time to admit VR is just getting started.
ftfy
>has lost facebook literal billions
KEK
>lost facebook literal billions
so you want those billions converted into tax instead of more cheap vr headsets?
Smart people knew it years ago.
it's weird how i had no issue with the quest 2 when i first got it, now i can't stand how low res/blurry it is. the quest 3 apparently fixes this but there's no games i care to play. 95% bottom of the barrel indie cash grabs , and the other 5% just don't appeal to me
I play a lot of toddkino in VR
As a longtime modder of Skyrim, I still haven't tried with VR. The issues with incompatibility and different ecosystems seem super messy.
i modded it and had no problems. i just did basic shit like textures and making women have naked PUSSIES THOUGH LOL
Why buy a headset when I can just play super Metroid again
only sane anti-VR take in the whole thread
what? like every anti-vr take is sane because it has no use case.
name 5 situations where your VR headset is a game changer
>VR headset is a game changer
why is all giantess stuff extremely cringe?
>foot homosexualry
>vore homosexualry
>weird fixations on things i don't care about like humiliating men for being smaller??
getting erect penis is cringe
>zero good giantess games
>zero good vore games
This was my one hope for VR and here we are.
Actually there are basically zero games making strong use of the feeling of scale of VR, even without being fetish games.
vrchat has giantess worlds, also every avatar has a size slider
Hey, I think not being able to play Binding of Isaac Reboob and watch Aqua TV Show Show on a virtual display larger than what I could fit in my office is a sane anti-VR take
get EmuVR
>your children will see grown men covered in their own waste in the street playing VR
>BUT BUT MY LE METAVERSE
oh no i guess i better pack my headset up and put it in the closet
we all know it's already there
Play beat saber all you want I’m never buying one
>facebook buys several promising studios to have them make VR slop
>sony buys several promising studios to have them make VR slop
>many other talented devs hoovered up by google, valve, etc.
>none of them make any games
>none of them do anything
>VR is an irrelevant footnote in gaming
how hasn't there been a congressional investigation into this shit?
>xbox bought studios
>embracer bought studios
I forgot about those ones. seriously, all this money spent on developing VR games, and there's been like 5 released
>all this money spent on developing VR games
they bought studios to produce flat shit
Because Facebook is shit at producing games. All of the talent of the studios they bought fled.
facebook literally just put out asgard's wrath 2 a couple months ago
the problem is that, like most VR games, it's not very good and is definitely not worth the asking price
>definitely not worth the asking price
Is that why they're extending the "Buy Quest 3 and get AW2 free" offer?
Don't care they're making Riven in VR. That justifies the entire medium.
>they're making Riven in VR
even if they didn't you could mod the unreal engine anyways
That's the worst game you could make in VR. Riven and the other Myst sequels are gigantic worlds yet meant to be traversed in seconds by clicking from 2D scene to 2D scene. Traversing the world in 3D/VR is going to turn the game into a huge chore. Like Uru.
I disagree. Riven's on 5 tiny islands and I don't see any reason to have to zip around at light speed in a slow paced adventure game. If anything, the absolute worst parts of Riven were related to its point-and-click nature because there were a bunch of transitions that were totally unintuitive and annoying doors hidden by the forced perspective. What I want out of Riven is to be able to look at the world they created in as much detail as possible.
Also it's funny that you say it was meant to be traversed in seconds when the game used to require swapping CDs every time you got on a rail.
>turns vr into an even bigger joke to the normies in you’re path
Anyone play The Light Brigade, I've gotten kinda addicted to it, I was gonna ask the /vg/ thread but it's literally nothing but VR chat trannies.
Did they add more levels or anything? I played it for a bit when it came out but I thought it was too short and repetitive.
I think so, I got it fairly recently and there was a big update in January and another coming soon. I got to the third boss and he wiped his ass with me. I just got the sniper rifle, it's pretty fun.
Probably give it 20 years and it will be something interesting. If you live that long that is. Lets be real, us peasants will get drafted to some war by our neocon leaders sooner or later. Life is shit when you're from the working class or lower.
So much for the tolerant liberal left.
I got Resident Evil 4 vr and the game doesn't let you perv on or molest Ashley smdh. Also her head is fricking tiny, she also comes up to like my shoulders which is kinda sexy.
>her head is fricking tiny
IPD/optics shit, had the same with quest2, rift CV1 had perfect 1:1 world scale
Fair, I just assumed her model wasn't really meant to be seen in actual 3d
That being said, she's extremely molestable.
Yeah I kinda regret getting a vr headset. I don't like standing and moving around while im gaming, tires me out, plus there arent many worthwhile games that arent short 'experiences'
You can play most VR games sitting down. The only one that didn't really support it was like H3VR
True, but that's still vr + waggle controls if it was vr + m+kb i would consider it.
In fact thats whats come out recently with the unreal(?) shit. But I havent been bothered to dig out my headset.
>spend a few hours trying to troubleshoot SteamVR issues
>eventually come to the conclusion that what I want to do is impossible
What did I want to do? Use a regular controller in VR to send inputs to a SteamVR controller. Yeah, that's not allowed, says Gaben. Heaven forbid some zoomer use a program to add a virtual bump stock to his VR controller with a macro, right?
you know you can just bind your gamepad inputs to vr game actions in steamvr controller bindings right?
It's clunky and doesn't let me do basic shit like map a D-pad to a virtual analog stick, and I have to set it up on a game-by-game basis.
My quest 2 is working just fine.
Also, steam link works better than oculus link, and I think that that's hilarious.
>steam link works better than oculus link
Both give me micro-stutter. I have a 4090 btw.
Have a Quest 3 and can confirm, Steam Link works just fine, I've had it disconnect like maybe twice.
Can confirm the microstutters, though my brain is kinda used to them.
Steamlink runs a much lower resolution than VD.
If you can't see this then you're medically blind.
Never had VD, you should get that checked out, they have creams for most of them
>2k plus good pc to run it properly
>300 bucks for wireless headsets (that are ass) that run out in 4 hours tops, and look like ps2 unironically
>total of three good blade and sorcery streamers
>every single person reviewing the dark souls weapon mods or maps never played dark souls
make it good and affordable and it will sell like cocaine.
I forgot people might not have seen what ive seen so
problems which a DP cable and a high-end PC would solve?
VR is based
Only good argument in support of VR in this thread
This is probably what overdosing on LSD looks like
Do people actually get off to this?
Hopefully
you can also make them do preset animations while they still have interactable physics, which leaves your hands open
what mods?
Honest question, how do you fap in VR without making a mess?
fap in condom
Nvm VR is based. Also, why the frick aren’t companies funding sex games like this? Don’t they realize the amount of money they can make?
do you not realize how many vr porn games there are? pretty much any illusion game, especially koikatsu, works in vr, and theres numerous other games that are literally designed for cooming
Meant for this
Most of them are complete ass. Name 3 good ones.
vr kanojo is the most user friendly, everything else is a UI nightmare
It was never alive.
I never admitted it was alive. I would have done so if we had a resurgence in grid-based first-person dungeon crawlers, which seemed like a no brainer to me with a display system that does first person and where non-teleportation movement makes you sick but apparently I don't know shit because nobody made any of those for VR.
I think people found Demeo's top down system to work better for VR.
I got a quest 3 for beat saber, blade and sorc, VaMX and VR porn videos
Don't regret it
Real VR still doesn't even exist yet. This gay eyewear shit isn't VR. Give me matrix-level VR. That's what I'm waiting for.
Sure thing Black person just step right over here in the operating room and we'll begin the neural implant procedure. Remember, no refunds
So how do I find people to talk to in VRChat? I do not care about LARPs, ERPs, etc. I just want to find people to socialize with. Or is it better to find an actual game for that like Phasmaphobia?
There might just be Phasmaphobia, I played in on a quest 3 over steam link with a buddy who has the index and it worked pretty good.
Thanks, I like spooky stuff so I'll have a good time with it. I just got the Index and liked Half Life Alyx so I'm eager to try more games
I only had like 10 minutes to explore but it seemed like FF14, in that theres a lot of it but if you look hard enough you'll find it all.
Congrats, I've been playing it on like Quest 3 like I said, and I've had some problems with the microphone, like it runs fine, but it's a little fricky getting in game comms working, it's fine on Index though.
check out the HL2 VR mod on steam as well if you're looking for more games
is it easy to find decent goon rooms in vrchat?
>Phasmaphobia
Honestly just do this. At least you'll be exposed to actual females and not just gay men/trannies pretending to be women like in VRchat.
>get index from valve
>headset is defective and malfunctions about half the time
>have a great time when it works
>ask for warranty
>valve refuses multiple times
>refuse to get another because frick you valve
>now have a bunch of useless vr peripherals
>still love vr and cant play it
Highly recommend Virtual Desktop if you're on a Quest 3 and you've got a good gpu.
The streaming resolution is 2x as much as steam link it's ridiculous (1500px vs 3000px). Even the occulus link software is higher res like 2200px.
I dunno wtf they're doing at valve with steam link but if it wasn't a "it just work" solution people wouldn't use it at all. That or not knowing any better.
Might have to try it out, is a 3060M decent enough?
doubt it would be capable of running it at max
here's what the program settings are:
Potato: 1440x1536
Low: 1728x1824
Medium: 2016x2112
High: 2496x2592
Ultra: 2688x2784
Godlike: 3072x3216 (Quest Pro/Quest 3)
If you have the Oculus software installed, you go into C:Program FilesOculusSupportoculus-diagnostics and run OculusDebugTool.exe
In the Occulus Link sub-section you change the encode resolution width. Put a very high number it doesn't matter it'll get clamped down to anyway by the software.
In the actual occulus software you set your target FPS (72, 80, 90, 120) and resolution you set it so the vertical resolution is like 2200.
Once you boot steam VR, always set the steamvr resolution of your games at 100%, higher than this and you're basically applying antialiasing by upsampling.
If you can get maintain good fps at that resolution with your card then consider getting virtual desktop and using the High/Ultra/Godlike settings because it's the only way to get higher resolution images coming to the headset.
Cool, I'll try high
Oh yeah I forgot to mention I'm using a cable so that's why I put the bitrate at 500.
If you're playing wireless there's no way you can sustain such a high bitrate without a 6E router so change the codec to H265 and drop the bitrate to 200 or 150 if it's too choppy.
Also here's some conservative settings in the Occulus app for graphics
unrelated but how does this resolution setting work?
You'd think that putting it above 1.0 would start supersampling but on my client 4224x 2272 isn't even 1.0 resolution
it's the number the occulus api sends to steamvr to be the 100% resolution
I'd pick up VD on Quest just to have an actual environment to be in rather than the empty endless room of QL
>empty endless room of QL
blame zuck for removing the home env, and Black folk actually wanted it removed
Can't use it on Lin*x sadly
Well if you're on loonix it's your moral duty to use ALVR instead, and you can set up any kind of resolution on that thing but it'll take you a month to fine tune the encode settings so it runs well
I tried using ALVR back around v18 or v19 and it just didn't work well enough even after a couple of weeks of tweaking. I was quite sad.
I'm picking up a 4090 soon and a quest 3, Do I need to get a 6E router If I want to use VD to play PC-VR wirelessly?
you don't NEED to but it depends on a bunch of factors
VD comes with a bunch of encoder settings, h264, h265 and av1.
newer encoder are more performant at the same bitrate but take longer to encode and decode
h264 at 500mbps is better than AV1 at 200mbps but the difference is I can't sustain 500mbps wireless with my wifi6 router while 200mbps is just fine
Wifi 6 is 70$ for a unit while 6E is 170$ for the cheapest one (tp-link) and up to 250 for great ones.
Thanks for explaining.
I was planning on picking up the D-link Air bridge since meta sells it but after looking into it more I'm reading it kind of sucks for VD and to use a 6E router instead. Personally I'm fine with paying an extra ~150 if it means my experience will be better
The only people who don't like vr are the antisocial poorgays in here.
>buy a gunstock for my VR controllers
>feels exactly like wielding a rifle except for the recoil
>play 500 hours of contractos and Breachers
surprised this tech hasn't taken off with /k/ virgins and airsoft dudes
Did you get the bhaptic vest as well? I heard it can simulator shoulder recoil on top of feeling pain when getting shot
What kinda gunstock did you get, I was playing both H3vr and like Into the Radius and playing without one feels awful and is almost impossible for me to aim in vr
Got this one, i prefer to get one configuration that fits most games and guns rather than adjusting it for each individual situation
This one does that, at the cost of not fitting perfectly for certain games
I did not, but it seems really cool and i will get one eventually
VR is way too much of a hassle if you want anything even vaguely realistic. I've got a tracked PPgun I picked up cheap, half the buttons don't work because "lol steamVR input", but it has recoil which is alright.
You still run into basic issues like reloading and shit getting in the way. Plus, unless you own a warehouse, you're not going to be able to run around for the full larp. Maybe one day we'll have VR tracked gloves with plastic peripherals, but even then you run into problems with feedback.
bought one exclusively for vrchat so i can virtual jerk off with other dudes wearing anime kawaii avatars
biggest red flag is whether or not someone has played vrchat
What if they played it to Knuckles shit post when that was a meme?
red flag
No Red Echidna, dummy.

I miss VR at launch. You could play with people with adults with skill levels. What are people playing these days?
Play Contractor$, anon.
You can play TF2, Halo, and Battlefront 2 in it.
Vox Machinae is good but not great. It really needed a higher budget for the campaign and some decent co-op missions. The giant clunky mech feeling is great but the game only shines in multiplayer because the campaign isn't intense or varied enough.
I did not mean to quote but if we're talking about Contractors then I can't recommend it enough.
>I miss VR at launch. You could play with people with adults with skill levels.
wow it's just like 2000s internet
Vr was created for porn, not gaming.
AR games when?
VR had promise. AR is actually garbage.
>AR games when?
Quest 3 has a bunch now and the latest software update just improved passthrough video quality
there needs to be a studio dedicated to making nonshit VR games. too many idiots think it's something you can just add after you make your game.
>It's time to admit VR is dead.
Oh shit, just bought a quest 2 because it was cheapo. Guess it's trash now.
Also what's the best free game I should try and what is the bestest payed game I should grab?

2024:
>It's joever VRbros...
>God I hope Half-Life 3 isn't in VR though...
HL Alyx is aprequel/sequel to HL2's events, which means its HL3.
When the frick are the anti VRgays going to make a different image to shit up the board with? That wojak is wearing a goddamn CV1.
So... Deckard...?
Any day now
>upgrade my GPU from 6 years ago
>dust off my Quest 2 for the epic gaming sessions
>all these years and the only worthwhile game is HL2 VR mod and Vertigo 2
Na I am fricking done, I can no longer shill this fricking moronic piece of shit tech
It gets even more homosexualy when I see people defending garbage like that AC Nexus game because "hurr durr its alteast a full game!"
Black person it plays like a flash game, it looks like shit and you cant interact with anything.
I fricking hate it, garbage like Blade and Sorcery STILL HAVENT RELEASED A 1.0 and H3 still has NOTHING worthwhile to do other than hehe guns
Frick VR, it only makes me madder knowing how good it could be
Try not being a nogame homosexual
Then name a single GOOD VR game thats singleplayer with more than 2 hours of content
Read the lists already posted. Or look up one of the 30+ vr games released last month on Steam
>waaaaaaaaaaahh there are no games!!!
>I won't look for them so I don't actually know, but surely there are no games
>30+ vr games released last month on Steam
Literally all shovelware
Dont you think I do this already?
Didn't know months were 11 days long in your barbarian steppe. When you feel like stopping pretending to be moronic, come join us in the civilized world.
Or don't, No one actually cares. Have fun not having fun and just complaining about things, anon.
I could literally go back as far as Vertigo 2 and screenshot every game for you showing you how its literal garbage but I wont
99% of steam VR games unity and UE assetflips made my chinks sold for like a dollar
If I go onto highest rated its still the same games from *checks date* now 4 years ago
If you have a pc, you're basically not touching vr native games. Devs are morons this gen (competency crisis) and can't handle anything not spoonfed to them. Theres not enough Trans bipoc esg money in vr for them gay it up so instead they pay pajeets to make these threads hoping to stem the bleeding of market share. Pc players only play mods (right now unreal games are taking priority because there's just to many to get cleaned up)
Deep Rock Galactic
Dyscronia was recently released
Besides Alyx, what are some good VR games? I'm a big fan of horror, less so of shooters; only played Alyx because I grew up with Half Life. I played Hellblade and enjoyed it, how it its VR mode?
>what are some good VR games?
https://www.uploadvr.com/top-25-best-meta-quest-3-games/
Half of the games on this list are gimick games with 2 hours of content
Little cities especially sucks monkey dick
Thanks I completely forgot the RE games had VR. Also that list says Meta Quest, aren't those tied to a Meta/FB/Instagram account? I have an Index and thought Meta stuff had to be linked to social media and software was installed to the headset itself. I didn't do much research into it while deciding between the Vive and Index based on that assumption
>aren't those tied to a Meta/FB/Instagram account?
Yes but you can make a separate Meta account.
Into the Radius has amazing atmosphere, but it's shooter first and foremost. Can't think of any horror-adventure, can only say that gameplay-wise, two things 100% worth checking out are racing sims in general and project wingman
oh, thinking about it, people were hyping subnautica in VR a whole lot
based horror chad
I baught VR for horror games myself, and while there is a lot of unity slop, there are some real experiences to be had
>Resident Evil 7 (mod)
>Propagation: Paradise Hotel
>Wraith The Oblivion: Afterlife
>Paranormal Activity
>Shattered Lights (Free, but requires like 3x3m play area)
>Alien Isolation
But the abobawde best horror game i've ever played in VR is Visage, though it's the roughest one to play since it only has modded VR support with the UnrealVR injector
>Alien Isolation
based. Alien Isolation was so spooky in VR. I loved it.

Adventure games are amazing in VR. That's probably the closest you get to VR horror games without shooting. Things like Red Matter, 7th Guest, and maybe Outer Wilds even though it's not explicitly horror. For more traditional horror stuff, Resident Evil games on RE engine (so 7 and 8) have good VR mods. For an experience you can actually put some hours in, Phasmophobia actually started out as a VR game and probably still works best in VR.
>Outer wilds
that has a VR conversion mod?
I completed that game last month, what have I done...
Yes and it's an amazing VR mod so you've fricked up.
Thanks, I'm saving these lists. Is the VR for Alien built in? I played on both 360 and PC and don't remember a PC option but that games great, and I will absolutely figure out how to use Visage since I liked that game a lot.
To play Alien Isolation in VR you have to use a mod called "MotherVR"
It works pretty well since it just builds on a scrapped official VR version that is in the game already
Outer Wilds was so much fun in VR. Worth playing through again even.
>VTOL VR
excellent semi-realistic combat flight sim
it's not full-on DCS autism but it still has a lot of depth
>The lab
it's very good but it might feel like baby's first VR game if you've already beaten HL:Alyx
>Beat Saber
GOAT VR game if you mod it to download custom songs
What are some games that I can play in VR without the use of motion controllers? I want to play games, not fight controls
Basically any flat game?
Most racing/wienerpit sims
Subnautica
Alien Isolation
Hellblade 1
Moss
You can also basically play ANY UE4/5 game with just the VR headset and regular controls now, thanks to the Preydog UEVR Injector
>You can also basically play ANY UE4/5 game with just the VR headset and regular controls now, thanks to the Preydog UEVR Injector
Wait, isn't this ue5?
Online games will probably ban you for hacking
I know DBD will
It's a f2p game, they can't stop my infinite amount of free steam accounts.
>Wait, isn't this ue5?
the uevr discord marked this game as perfectly playable in vr
Moss is a motion controller game.
>some games that I can play in VR without the use of motion controllers?
any UEVR mod
I'm sad it is
I wanted to get one but it never really crossed over into being worth the hassle when most games were gimmicks and there weren't enough full-features titles or upcoming actual games instead of gimmicks and cash-ins for me to think I'd still be using the thing a year later
There's a ton of great games and mods with full motion controls
I've had VR for 2 years and I'm still discovering crazy experiences I've never felt in normal gaming.
You need a heavy gaming PC to get the best out of it though, poorgays with their 8 year old GPUs are not going to be able to run it well
Pretty sure my 1080 is like a decade old and still chugs along most stuff. Only hadn't bothered trying cyberpunk. Heard some guy got Borderlands 3 VR running on a 970
1080 is shit for vr
970 was capable of early consumer VR headsets like the CV1 and even the Rift S. I played Skyrim VR and Alyx on a 970 albeit lowest settings for Alyx, still looked decent. I just about got by in Pavlov too but I doubt it would be playable anymore in the current version.
The much higher resolutions of headsets like the Quest 3 combined with it's encoding cost has driven up PCVR hardware requirements. Except for the ability to play without a wire it still plays the same as on a CV1 with touch controllers.
The crispness of a high resolution headset is great. It feels like you're really there and not looking at some blurry, jagged edged 3d model. If you pair it up with a game that has 4k/8k textures then you're basically in another world.
I can't believe IOI just shat out the shittiest VR port ever and never bothered to do anything with it
Hitman is like 1 QoL patch away form being the greatest VR game on the market
I love watching movies on my VR set. The screen is enormous, it appears bigger than my room. There's also some fun SteamVR multiplayer rooms where you can run around interacting with other people
Why the frick is there not a single rts vr game
>not a single rts vr game
get reshade + depth3d and play warcraft3 in vr
I think even one of the homeworlds or dune rts is unreal so it's vr as well. Haven't gotten around to playing it
I know there's a new vr native one but there was an older one as well. I know cause I got it in a homeworld bundle a while back for uevr like a year ago but never got around to playing it and that was long before the announcement of the new one
Remember apple vision? Boy that shit sure died and got forgotten in 3 months LMAO
For the exact same reasons everyone always says, there's jack shit to do with it after the initial hype wears off, not to mention it's like 10x as expensive as a quest which is a bafflingly stupid decision
Has anyone played Into the Backrooms? I know
>hurr durr liminal space zoomie
But I'm trying to check out all the good co-op and spooky stuff I can find
Just play vrchat
I tried it but it was unplayably laggy on my 4070
the backrooms really is an oldgay meme that zoomers found out and proceeded to write fanfiction tier lore surrounding it
vrchat has plenty backroom worlds
>Kills the entire PCVR market to push a skype clone
>Fails
>Every VR game now has to target 2018 era phone hardware forever
You can just tell airlink babies to frick off and buy a cable
The thing that really killed PCVR was devs seeing how much higher sales were on Quest 2. Suddenly every PCVR dev slowed or stopped development to focus on getting a Quest port out and new games were being designed entirely around Quest 2 hardware limits.
>but muh headset weight!
>but muh headset size!
>but muh cables!
>but muh screen resolution and screendoor effect!
>but muh lense artifacts!
>but you need a $1500 gaming PC for VR!
This thing resolved almost all issues people were having with VR back in 2016.
They recently introduced inside out upper body tracking so you no longer need trackers for anything but your legs if you want FBT.
Still no games though
Same reason why PC has barely anything outside of 2D platformers and rougelikes.
Because you can't compete with phones when it comes to dumb goys buying shit.
I still cycle games on my Quest2 daily.
>Same reason why PC has barely anything outside of 2D platformers and rougelikes.
Now THAT is some serious VRgay copium. Gimme some more please.
>weight
headset is very front heavy and uncomfortable
>cables
needs charge cable after an hour so wireless is pointless
>screen res
very low compared to PCVR
>1500 gaming pc
you need a 4000 gaming PC or you aren't doing it right
It's actually about 2 and a half hours, also adjust your back straps, not that you own one.
I do own one. It's not very good anon.
>headset is very front heavy and uncomfortable
Get a proper strap with a battery to balance it out
>needs charge cable after an hour so wireless is pointless
Get a proper strap with a battery
>resolution
is not that far behind the bigscreen beyond despite costing a third of a beyond + the steam trackers
>you need a 4000 gaming PC or you aren't doing it right
Streaming your PC content is obviously the way to go if you want to do it properly but standalone is decent enough if you're a dumb poorgay.
I have sex daily in VR.
How long did it take for the guy to cum?
What?
It's dead unless Valve decides to not scan and harvest your face and interior of your home like meta does
You could not pay me to put a quest 3 in my house
I REFUSE to touch VR until they turn into the nerve gear things from SAO
>big T&A asuna in koikatsu VR

You're gonna OD on copium if you keep sperging out like this, I worry for you anon. You are loved. Don't do this to yourself.
>b-b-but copium
what the frick are you talking about you weird c**t? What am I coping for?
God I hate this fricking place and morons like you. We can never have a serious discussion about any topic at all. Fricking hell. You people really have nothing better to do eh?
i think that time has long since passed and was already a known fact. my headset has been collecting dust for at least half a year now. most fun ive had wasnt the offiical games as well, it was modding games into vr.
Well timed thread.
I was just thinking about buying VR for the PS4. I feel the prices have come down to where I'm comfortable investing in it just so I can play Monster of the Deep and Summer Lessons.
What do you guys think? Please refrain from replying to my post if you haven't experienced PS4 VR first hand.
PSVR is really finicky, I would very much recommend Quest over it.
ps4vr kinda sucks bro
has a couple of good games but uses actual wiimotes as controllers
I'm waiting till VR gets more standardized. and more plug & play. (This will never happen)
Currently almost every new headset uses a slightly different tracking solution, which means you can't use controllers from other headsets.
Meaning it all becomes e-waste when the headset stops working, or is no longer supported.
I just played Outer wilds and Subnautica. It may be dead, but there's a ton of great experiences.
I've been trying it again recently. Aside from actual vr games I kinda wanna just play a 2D game with a nice VR environment. I wanna feel like im not in my shitty apartment
Quest 3 owners what do you use for audio?
I just use the speakers on the headset, they're perfectly fine.
I just want the Japanese to make a decent amount of waifu games for VR or VR games in general. The Quest store is full of western shit which is sad.
Nobody has one because there's no games on it.
There's no games on it because nobody has one.
>new games are shit (95% of it, rest dont meed newest hardware, maybe you miss like 1 game worth playing)
>every app is skewed towards wasting your time and positioning adds everywhere, same with headset devs
>vr is shit despite some vr chat for shit and giggles.
I may became a boomer but no new cutting edge shit exite me anymore.
8k hd? No releases (even 4k suffers from it), new consoles? No games, same with new graphic card/pc hardware.
Why to bother with new tech when theres nothing worth it to run it on in first place.
>new
>new games are shit (95% of it, rest dont meed newest hardware, maybe you miss like 1 game worth playing)
What games?
>every app is skewed towards wasting your time and positioning adds everywhere, same with headset devs
What VR apps have adverts?
>vr is shit despite some vr chat for shit and giggles.
So you're a troony, lol
>What games?
they're mobile games. that's like complaining that new games released on your nokia aren't as good as your PS5 games.
What if all the funding was only going to nokia games?
That's why I hate Meta/Zuck
Gaming is dead, unless you're in VR
>need to clear an entire room
>causes sweat on face
>wearing thing on head
it's just not enjoyable. it's so over
VR/AR tech is the future. it will replace smartphones and monitors. It just needs to move past its "lenses over a phone screen in a box" phase.
how badly this induces myopia?
Current headsets have a fixed focal point between 1 and 2 meters. They're less likely to induce myopia than starting at a monitor (typically much closer than 1-2 meters) for long periods of time.
Eye strain is a bigger issue for VR:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergence-accommodation_conflict
The most underrated risk of VR is postural. Additional weight on the head makes developing forward head posture and rounded shoulders even more likely. If you play VR and spend a ton of time sat at a desk you're at the highest risk as both can lead to poor posture.
a-at least now I'm only mildly obese and not morbidly after 300 hours of b&s tho right
You can do it anon.
There are health benefits to VR too, just remind yourself to stand up straight every now and then.
>VR looks like shit
>fund my game, I can either make gameplay or graphics
>No
:/
Should push the VR porn aspect harder because that's the only reason I've ever considered buying one right now. I might buy one to play Halflife 3 when it comes out for VR (If it ever actually does) in conjunction with the porn.
The original game was great, but unfortunately the devs are being israeli and releasing a remake just two years later, with no word of a discount (it should be free) for existing owners. Even if it looks like a good overhaul, that's insane. They also announced a sequel so I'm guessing they're trying to make money towards that
They're also doing it as an excuse to put out a Quest version.
I think the game was better as a puzzle-adventure game so adding more action shit to it feels like the wrong call.
i should get back into VRchat
so dead you can't stop talking about it.
I wish it was fricking dead so all the kids could get off vrgames.
I learned about a fun game called Vengeful Rites and now I'm convinced Steam is absolutely horrible for finding new games.
Yeah,since joz at valve refused to officially release source 2 and make it a standard for all vr games.
>zuck forcibly deprecating the quest 1 by banning devs from making new games for it
this is the most pathetic thing he's done yet kek
i wonder how much longer the 2 has
>i wonder how much longer the 2 has
Probably significantly longer. The Quest 2 wasn't discontinued after the Quest 3 launched like the Quest 1 was when Q2 launched.
It's not like any quest games released in the last two years even supported Q1 anyway.
Actually the writing on the wall it is and why they're dropping the price (Wal-Mart was 150$) the replacement will be the quest 3 lite. Quest 2 optics with quest 3 processor
Pretty sure the Quest 3 Lite is specifically for the Chinese market.
Regardless I still see the Quest 2 receiving much longer software support than the Quest 1. Like I said before new games stopped being made for Quest 1 a while before now simply because its hardware was so limited in comparison to Quest 2, and Q2 compared to Q3 doesn't have that bad of an issue.
No, its time to hire chad and sexy girls to say wow i love my VR and so does my gorlfriend, keep doing that a year and eventually boomers pay anything to be just like Arnold VRnegger
We don't want them. We don't want normal gays aaa'in our vr. In fact that's why it's good. Vr is basically gaming in the 2000s although that probably mostly cause the mods are old games in a gen where all new games suck and new devs literally hate gamers. If you want to keep gaming and not give nu devs money, vr is the best way to do so. And it makes nu "devs" seethe.
This, but it reminds me more of the 90’s. Gaming on PC back then was uncommon and you had to get familiar with a piece of tech barely anyone had. I was the only one in my group of friends who even had a family computer and of course no one I know now has a VR headset. There was a shitload of DOS slop in the shareware era too, like VR slop now except you have to pay for most of it. VR hasn’t even had its Doom equivalent yet. I’m willing to put up with fewer quality releases if it means a smaller community. I don’t mind, I’ll do something else if there’s nothing to play. We already know what happens when anything gets flooded with plebs.

do i splurge for a quest 3 to get deep into pcvr like skyrim and half life alyx or do i wait
You will probably be disappointed with a Quest 3, although skyrim is good in VR
supposedly Sony is adding PCVR support to the PSVR2 so you might not need to buy another headset, I'm kinda tempted on getting one but i'll wait it they do follow up on it
>supposedly Sony is adding PCVR support to the PSVR2
yeah thats what i meant by waiting. for what its worth ive had nothing but good experiences with the psvr2. its convenient, and the only real complaint is that youre tethered to the console. the visuals in the games are very fricking solid and the resident evil games are top notch
yeah you're right the wireless feature with the quest 3 is more convenient and it has better lenses as well I might just pull the trigger on it
>better lenses
thats not even true
I forgot about that. Wireless tho (I guess more important for a bigger house) I walk around with it on so I always have my pc with me. Actually sit at the kitchen table now. With steamvr custom background and virtual desktop chroma key passthrough you can have apple vision pro style unlimited monitors everywhere
No reason to wait unless you're in the bracket for a 2000$ hmd. The next roll outs will be avp clones with matching res, oled varient around a 2k price point. But everything good for the next at least 2 years will be mods, especially since mainstream has chosen the woke hill to die on
100% worth it just to play PCVR games and mods
If you've never played games like Outer Wilds, Subnautica, or Alien Isolation you got some real gems waiting for you that are actually fully featured games
Skyrim vr is pretty great
I already played the main game enough, but some mods like Enderal gave me a couple hundred hours of gameplay.
it turns out that having decent modded combat and physics even in a multi decade old game makes for a good vr game
Anyone here played the Underdogs mech game?
It looks pretty cool
I'm tired of roguelikes but the gameplay and presentation are top notch
Paint the Town Red is a lot easier when you have 2 hands and can combo someone whose nose you broke to death with your bare hands
The Quest 3 is nice and all but the screen fricking sucks. OLED should be standard for VR headsets.
Other than porn, shooters, fishing and gimmick mini arcade games, what else is VR good for?
skyrim vr modded is the single best gaming experience you can have
Even if all of those things died VR would still exist in the flight/driving sim market. It's one of the cheapest ways of immersing yourself in a sim.
Horror games like Phasmo and Lethal Company (its a mod that's near seamless).
Firmament which is mainly Cyan Worlds puzzle game eye candy.
Elite Dangerous if you have enough autism.
brawlers are one of the main types of VR games
dead? it never even lived.
Maybe I’m weird but my favorite aspect of VR games is the return of the Wii’s pointer gameplay and the potential of 2 pointers. I wish devs would play around more with diorama style 3rd person rail shooters. Imagine a Sin and Punishment game in 3D where you’re not only managing your movement but two different streams of bullets and enemy patterns that require you to split your focus 3 ways.
Returnal vr might scratch that itch. Supposedly is first person bullet hell with the uevr mod. Not many games go akimbo without a penalty and usually the ones that do suck (bad systems)
How is Outer Wilds VR?
Really good. I love the feeling of flying around in space. Some parts were terrifying, but others were comfy. At the end of every loop I would find a spot to sit down, watch the fireworks, and think about what I learned.
The whole thing was a spiritual experience, and I still constantly think about it.
should I do my first playthrough in VR?
Definitely yes. The mod for it is very well done and it feels like a native VR game.
You need strong VR legs btw. Floating around in zero gravity and trying to orient yourself is stomach churning.
Im imagining a Civilization game where you just walk around on the tiles with ur bros in godmode shooting the shit and you can go down to ground level in your civilization to build stuff then return to the war room with your bros when you are done with your turn
That new game where you go back to like medieval times with current weapons tech I believe is unreal so when that releases will be uevr.
I misinterpreted that as VR executive assault
It's always a huge pain in the ass to find good VR porn. First you have to actually find a video you like. Then hope it's in they right format. Then try and play it in whatever video player you're using, which wont be setup to play whatever video you picked. Just uuuuhg.
Everything is switching to "spatial" format. Should make things easier going forward
test
wake me up when it's like sword art online
not even a weeb anymore but that's what it will take to get me interested
it's just getting started
It's been "getting started" for over a decade
it takes time for the average poorhomosexual such as yourself to adopt technology in active current development
I only use mine to when I want to re-watch the one VR porn vid I like
I'm getting bored of mine, I hope more camgirls would hop in the VR cam train (so I can enjoy free content)
Speaking of which, why is 99% of VR porn with the guy lying down on his back? How the frick am I supposed to immerse myself like that?
>99% of VR porn with the guy lying down on his back?
because it's the "best" position for a non moving camera in vr180, flat 3d porn from 2010 didn't have such limitations
Makes sense. I fall asleep when I lie down on my back so it doesn't work for me. Gotta keep moving.
Because you're supposed to be lying on your back, what are you doing handstands?
I can't jerk off lying down, it makes me have to poop
>you're supposed to
I prefer sitting or standing. I also don't like cowgirl position IRL.
>3DPD
have a nice day Black person
blurry shit, get topaz ai upscale or something
stable niche
cope
it'll never take off because the games that truly take advantage of the tech can't simply be ported to/from major platforms, so you'll never see anywhere near enough devs invest the required effort to make the sort of games that are system sellers.
It won't "take off" but it's slowly growing and will continue to grow. There's a reason that companies like Facebook, Sony, and Apple are all still investing billions into R&D. They want a slice of the market before it gets big.
VR is going to succeed as long as landlords see profit signs in inflating the price of the sq ft of land.
Seems cool for racing sims but notsomuch for anything else
its really good for porn but the stupid israelite directors won't let them titfrick for more than .2 seconds before they're all like
>hey do you want to see my disgusting pussy for 30 minutes
no b***h, frick off
why is this so hard
