Man oh man... Oculus Go makes it hard to go back to Rift.. even harder going back to PSVR (in terms of resolution)

Rift I can get by on although it feels like I'm playing with a pair of glasses smeared with suntan oil

Had a play of my backlog on all 3 there today in order Go -> Rift -> PSVR... and just noticed the whole resolution difference in a big way like going from BluRay -> DVD -> VHS

Gonna struggle with my backlog, but still determined to get through them!

That meme is pretty spot on, clicked order on a rift, 4 hours later PSU dies

I've seen a big improvement with the PSVR since switching from the OG to Pro.

yeah I think going from OG to Pro pretty much would bring PSVR in line with Rift.

I'm still on OG.

The EMUVR Beta has been live the last 2 weeks! I only spotted it on facebook yesterday:

Basically you email the owner and he sends you a discord invite link where you can read lots of info and get the download link.

Amazing game... 2nd favourite VR game after Astro Bot

EoinHef · 13-11-2018 10:18pm

What do people think a CV1 oculus is worth second hand?

2 sensors and touch controllers.

A year old but barely used.

The price you have it for on adverts seems right, but perhaps it would sell faster @ €300

Alien Isolation VR mod finally has VR controller support!

https://old.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/9y0es8/mothervr_beta_080_alien_isolation_vr_mod_vr/

I played some of this, but really the fact I had to use my Xbox controller with it turned me off. Now I'll be fully immersed.

Let the fear begin.

I bought the game with the entire dlc collection from fanatical a week or 2 ago for €11 or something. Can't wait to give this a go.

Just played it for the last hour or so and realized that motion control is not supported.

Thats a white lie as you need to hold the right motion controller upto your head to activate the head torch.

Its just the ability to use the touch controller buttons instead of an xbox 360 controller or keyboard and mouse.

Still a great game in VR though.

yeah I reckon I'm gonna get this on the US store.

Have $32 sitting idle in my account. I think I'd prefer this on PSVR than Rift as the controllers are perfect for this.

Not bothered about adding modded music.

Ditto. The tunes I've heard so far sound great and there are more promised. I just feel like it took so long to get to PSVR. Early access for a year, announced for PSVR in March, released on PC in May, then announced AGAIN in a PS E3 countdown for some reason. Felt like I was going crazy seeing people so excited about a second announcement without a date or price. Anywhere, here we are.

..if you have a viveport sub ( or just signed up for a trial one.) they've mailed out a 10 euro voucher code. Also they've a sale on now for the next few days, which you can use that 10 euro on. They're really looking to build a subscriber base.

Thanks, after a Google you need to get the 3 month subscription at a minimum.

As for the $10 voucher I'm thinking of using it on Nature Treks VR.
Anyone tried that yet?

I don't have much chill out experiences and this one looks really impressive with the creator update.

There's also Guided Meditations VR but that seems to get a few bad reviews saying the in game graphics are much worse than the screenshots.

Zombie Riot for €1.99 is so worth it.

The graphics are pretty outstanding as there's practically no screendoor and seems like supersampling is set at 4x by default

https://store.steampowered.com/app/639460/Zombie_Riot/

It's a basic enough shooter, but great fun.

mrcheez · 22-11-2018 11:07am

Also Senua's Sacrifice is 50% off

https://store.steampowered.com/app/414340/Hellblade_Senuas_Sacrifice/

This one looks really good. Like Horizon Zero Dawn in VR.

Polybius is out on Steam. You owe it to yourself to get this (it's Oculus-only for now AFAIK)

BelovedAunt · 30-12-2018 3:58pm

Lads I just set up the PSVR and played Astrobot for about 20 minutes. I was feeling a bit queasy by the end of it and had to stop. I briefly had a rift last year and didn't experience that.

mrcheez · 30-12-2018 4:46pm

You may need to rebuild the ol' VR legs. Odd that you got it in Astrobot though as that game doesn't involve too much movement.

Just take it slow and don't try to power through the quesiness.

Atomic Pineapple · 30-12-2018 5:00pm

I get it after about an hour of playing AstroBot too. I think it comes from all the looking around I am doing trying to find the lost robots

. It's not severe at all, just a slight "offness", but definitely affects me. This is after I pushed through real sickness with Doom VFR to get some form of VR legs too.

mrcheez · 30-12-2018 6:24pm

Pushing through the quesiness is a bad idea. If feeling off stop playing and come back later.

Pushing through it will usually make you associate VR with that feeling and it will take a long time to overcome.

BelovedAunt · 30-12-2018 6:27pm

Thanks lads. I don’t have the move controllers at the moment, are there any games that are must plays without move controllers? Is Skyrim better with or without them?

It's worth setting it up properly, measuring your distances etc. It only takes 10 minutes.

Yeah loads of games don't use the Moves.

Statik is a game I completed today (finally). It's superb.

Wipeout is another must-have and uses DS4.

Pixel Ripped 1989 is another which I completed yesterday! (getting through my backlog big time over the xmas period)

And obviously Resident Evil Biohazard is DS4 and a must-have. Polybius too... hell I could go on and on. Too many games tbh.

Just FYI, the remake of the horror title "PT" will be taken down next week so be sure to download version 1.0.7 this weekend

He's apparently fixed all the VR bugs that plagued the first version

Soooooo... Alien Isloation VR is rather good now innit?

Just started playing it with Rift and Touch Controllers and it all works nicely... the cinematic score is perfect for heightening the tension.

Haven't yet got to serious scares yet, but I'm only starting. Alien should be on me like a biatch tonight though.

Last time I played it you could only use the touch controllers like a game pad and couldn’t aim with them. The only motion controls supported was putting your hand above your head to turn on your flashlight.

Is it still like that?

You can aim the flashlight with your hands now and the flashlight on/off is via the B button on the Touch controller.

Only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to unselect an item after you select it (e.g. a syringe). I'll need to check the controls menu.
