/g/ isn't too poor for VR are they?

>>62017444
I've had my Rift for a bit over a week now? Still enjoying it. I'll probably hit the 2nd gen vive, when it includes the knucks.

>>62017848
The Knuckles look awesome. Do we have any word on a release date?

>>62017751
Of course /g/ is too poor.

lel Shitty implementations of VR is now a status symbol.

it's not vr until you can smell it
what you got is two screens taped to your head, not vr
prove me wrong

>>62018242
You play Robo Recall and tell me that is not pure smile inducing fun. Hell Google Earth is pretty amazing in VR. I'm starting to develop things myself and I think Elite is going to kick ass when I grab myself a HOTAS setup.

>>62018316
for true VR experience you will need electrodes inside your brain...

>>62018363
I just got a Thrustmaster T16000m specifically to play Elite Dangerous with my Vive and holy fucking shit, it is literally the best vidya experience I've ever played. I love that your pilot model's animations match what you do with stick. It's awesome, I can't wait until we get more VR flight sims. Will Ace Combat 7 have VR content?

>>62018503
Ace Combat looks fucking gorgeous and I have hopes for it, but I haven't heard anything about VR for it.

>>62018538
I'm excited for it regardless of VR. I just think it's one of those games that would greatly benefit from it. I can tell you from the dog fighting I've done in Elite, being able to move my head in the cockpit makes a huge difference.

Whew, sold mine like 2 weeks ago lol

I honestly would have kept it longer but I saw it coming. HTC couldn't keep that price point with the Rift sale.

Can we all admit the VR is for porn and porn only.

>>62017848
>>62017925
Gen 2 isnt until 2019?

The knuckles are the only reason I am hodling off atm. I want them as a package deal, not something I have to spend $100-200 extra for later.

>>62018242
Elite dangerous is unironicly worth the money if you enjoy Sim games and play it like one rather than an action adventure mmo or whatever it was originally marketed as.

>>62018610
It's about 50:50. However the higher price sets wouldn't exist at all if it was just for porn. If that were true only Cardboard or GearVR type devices would exist.

>>62018530
Yeah, I think I will get a vive, but first I need a vega 64, and I refuse to do that until the 3rd party cards come out.

>>62018705
The Knuckles aren't being made by HTC so I doubt it'll ever be a packaged deal with the Vive especially since Valve is kinda pushing SteamVR Tracking 2.0 which the Vive doesn't support. There's the option that HTC could sell the headset standalone but with the way they've been treating the Vive I doubt they'll do it. They're constantly trying to price gouge where ever they can.

>>62018718
I mostly trade and mine shit. I've tried some combat stuff but it's crazy and I don't want to lose my ship.

>>62018363
Robo recall is okay. I still like VR but all the games are pretty shit right now. I wish like nintendo or some more clever quality developers made vr games

One of the only reasons I haven't hung myself from a pillar of my own misery is VR, and it sucks.

>>62019064
I like Onward. That's pretty fun if you have a competent team.

>>62017444
Got one a year ago. Barely use it because muh linux and the windows 7 vm doesnt support vr desktop.

vr videos are a fucking pain, almost never work right, and will still require being sorta cross eyed.
windwaker vr is broken as fuck, good luck with the busted ass telescope, cant even get off the fist island. Dont even think of using the vive controllers
oot, dont even think of using the vive controllers
most games are 10 minutes long, in depth as a rugrats game on the n64, and priced the same as a AAA title.

With that being said, the shit you actually do do on it is fucking breath taking.

>>62017444
Would my r9 290 run this or would I need to upgrade to rx 580 or vega 64?

I already got my Vive when it launched.

>>62019098
Are you me? It went like this

>Ok time to kill myself
>BUT I could end up in pure nothingness and never live my fantasy life
>Ok time to wait for VR to get good and give me a small hope of ever living that life

And that's why I'm still shitposting on /g/ instead of being dead.

>>62020424
if you don't use it, you should hook a fellow anon up.

>>62019013
You're missing out. Combat is the only fun thing in that game, and even then.

I also recommend Arena Commander which you can get for free by purchasing the 30 dollar starter kit from RSI. It has leaderboards and multiple modes and maps like co-op survival against waves of pirates and aliens and shit, plus they added in the persistant universe with planetary landings and random missions with PvP arenas, plus they added the FPS combat module and shit, so I mean, there's definitely things to occupy your time.

real gamers avoid this shit like a plague

>>62020758
Oh I've done combat. One of the coolest things was coming out of super cruise in the middle of a massive space battle between System Security and a bunch of gangsters. It was crazy.

>>62020775
us gaymers, amirite?

>>62020758
Didn't realize star citizen supported vr. I may have to give that a go. I played some arena combat about a year ago and it was fun for a few days, tho obviously there were balance issues and op strats.

But for a game that is 10 years from launch ot was ok.

>>62020775
Go back to youtube comments

>>62020547
There's a vr ready test on steam.

iirc, the 290 is a rebranded 7950, right? I did the test with my 7950 and didn't even pass for low quality VR.

>>62020816
Also I mean, not to push it or anything but that fear you describe, for me that's what makes it exciting. But to offset it a bit, I've played Eve Online for years, so I know the whole "never fly what you can't afford to replace" mentality and I stick to it when I do combat. I mostly just fly class-A viper mkIII around, and grinding out the dosh to replace that is only maybe a few hours of sitting at a hostile mining site and camping raiders, or a few rotations of trading rares

>>62020881
Will have to try that. But yeah, it is old. I may cave and get one of those mobo/cpu/vega bundles.

>>62020838
No ,you vr cucks

>>62020883
Yeah I kinda compare it to EVE in the sense the economy is a big deal in the game and that you really should be prepared to pay to replace your ship if you go into combat. I really like the game. It's pretty fun, I haven't done too much though, I only have like 7 hours of play time so far and most of that was just figuring out how to fly, twice. Once using an Xbox controller and then with the HOTAS. I'll say using a HOTAS makes the flying so much fucking easier.

I'd get it just for porn and virtual desktop/watching YouTube videos in a digital theater, but idk if 600 bucks is worth that. Is there anything more utilitarian I can do with it, and can I easily use it for games that aren't a few gimmicks on steam?

>>62020957
I'm using the X55 rhino myself. I kinda wish I had saved my money though and just gotten a twin-stick setup. Glad you're having fun with it, it's kind of a dead game sadly since the launch killed it, but they've added so much content it sucks nobody will see it. If it had everything it has right now at launch it would've blown people away.

So what's the best way to watch 360 youtube videos with my Vive? Also, I'd assume this method would work for porn as well. Virtual Desktop? Google came up with a bunch of different options, what do you guys like best?

>>62019349
Pavlov is where the funs at if you want a good fps experience. Just fun as heck, reminds me of CSS.

>>62021121
It does look like CSS. Seems fun. I just ordered longer cables to get my headset into a better space for room space games like that so I may give it a shot.

You can use a few video players for 360 degree videos, but honestly videos are shit. Videos aren't VR and they just have an awful experience.

If you want porn in VR, watch actual VR porn, not shitty 360 degree videos. Look up Waifu Sex Simulator.

>>62017444
u need to be really enthusiastic to do so, the novelty wore off for me after 5 or so months because the hardware is just too weak, quality VR needs to be wireless and have a much better display

>>62020862
star citizen?

it doesnt?

Neither MS Flight Simulator or X-Plane support VR headsets. And that was my only reasoning for buying one.

Call me back when they have VR that isn't aimed at XXXTREME GAMING

>>62022849
This honestly.

Wait until 2019 when they're wireless, 4K, 120hz, and foveated rendering.

>>62017444
I'd buy a VR headset to play a pinball simulator, and maybe some racing and flying games. Problem is that on top of the gorillion dollars needed to get the thing in the first place, you still need NASA's supercomputer to run it, which in the current fucked up market situation is just outright impossible to get at a reasonable price.

VR will make the jump when a truly midrange PC (aka consoles) will be able to run it.

>>62023509
PSVR?

Its a gimmick like 3D monitors and 3D glasses. If someone offered me a nvidia 3d glasses kit I would just laugh in their face. Same deal here. This is a fucking joke.

>>62023666

No decent GPU's to drive it.
Nvidia are overpriced fucktards and AMD followed their lead.

Wait for Vive 2 and Navi (superscript TM)

>>62018610
I mean the virtual gun range seems pretty neat. I wouldn't buy vr if that's the only game though. But yes, porn and shooting shit.

>>62024242
anything higher than a 970 is enough

most VR games arent demanding at all

>>62024242
My 980 runs everything without issue. It's fine with the current high end cards.

There's some worthwhile titles. But my current problem with my Vive is that the room where my PC is has 6ft tall ceilings and some titles you really do need 6.5 feet

>>62027652
That fucking sucks. We have 9ft ceilings and Im still smacking the ceiling fan light covers when Im not paying attention.
I almost put the controller though the glass side panel of my computer a couple times.
Im just in the habit of moving very slow in vr now lol.

Ill give those games a try.

>>62020714
Your living the fantasy, idiot.

>>62023695
Omg I remember making gta iv 3d and having glasses

Holy shit

>>62017444
I had some for a few months. 2 things are stopping me from buying and that's the resolution is just not quite good enough and there is pretty much no content apart from little demos.

>>62020714
just admit you're too much of a pussy.

>>62027652
> Fallout 4
Are you referring to the PSVR thing that will come out?

Or is there a way to get it working with the current version?

>>62027652

oh wait, that was skyrim, my bad

>>62023379

Hahaha wireless headphones have heavy latency. I can't imagine how bad a vr headset will be

>>62031828
tpcast has no noticeable latency

any other model to be announced should follow their lead

>>62031828
tpcast doesn't have latency on any of the test models that people have been using. I assume the retail release will work just as well.

I just bought a rift its pretty sweet.

Just got a rift, what video player do you /g/uys recommend?

>>62022808
Maybe it has better vive support or I set up something incorrectly, but when I tried it with a rift the movement controls on the touch were complete shit. I'd take teleporting over what they have any day of the week.

>>62034448
I used DeoVR, it seems ok.

>>62034448
If you're into space sim type games check out Elite Dangerous. It's awesome and fully VR. I ended up getting a HOTAS to play it and I'm addicted now. I've only played without VR once and it was only to learn the control scheme on the HOTAS.

>>62035352
>HOTAS.
That seems like a fun game, i'll look into it.

>>62035380
nigger

>>62035380
Elite dangerous is fucking euphoric in VR, that anon is right on. Also check out Eve Valkyrie.

>>62018503
>Will Ace Combat 7 have VR content?

AC7 will have a VR sidemission mode for PSVR, but it appears to be PSVR exclusive.

>>62028118

Then the original me had a pretty shitty fantasy. Perhaps he was a masochist.

>>62020969
Also wondering this, are there good programs for using VR as just a cheaper way of having more desktop space?

Was considering getting a 43" 4k TV mostly for productivity first (no scaling at that size, open VM OS's in 1080p windows). Also to run games in 1080p windowed mode (dont have the GPU for 4k games).

But if a Vive allows good productivity...I know it has a front camera for the keyboard when needed.

>>62037634
>Was considering getting a 43" 4k TV

Why would you do that when Korean monitors exist?

>>62037787
Found one for under $400

Which Korean monitors are 35-45" and on amazon and under $400?

>>62038492
>on amazon

Bruh they're all on Ebay.

>>62037634
>productivity
Unless you're making 3d models you're not going to be more productive, reading text is still a problem and might still be a bit of a problem for gen 2 as well.

>>62038666
Even then they all seem over $400 and difficult to filter/search for.

>>62037044
>Eve Valkyrie.
I got that game for free because I bought my rift from best buy

>>62023254
that would be AR

>>62018503
Its a small project that lacks the polish of games like ED, but I enjoyed VTOLVR far more with interactive instrumentation that uses nothing but the motion controllers, it works surprisingly well.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoDvxHAZ5yk

I got ED back when it was on sale and tried it with a cheap Tflight hotas wasn't my cup of tea.
Tried warthunder as well, it was interesting to see the instrumentation inside the cockpit but both warthunder and ED didn't look right scale wise.
Can't wait for more interactive cockpit flight and mech sims to start popping up.

Vive is super useful for productivity. There's a lot of utility software out already, and the virtual desktop screen space is massive. Watching movies is phenomenal in VR, and multitasking is on a whole different level since you have an infinite virtual space to work with.

With vive you actually have a virtual bedroom where you can move windows around. Next year they are releasing the new lighthouse 2.0 system that lets you map physical objects into your VR space and manipulate them.

>>62041303
>With vive you actually have a virtual bedroom where you can move windows around. Next year they are releasing the new lighthouse 2.0 system that lets you map physical objects into your VR space and manipulate them.

Gimmick.
Totally useless.

I can comfortably use a window manager with unlimited tags without going blind and getting face cancer and neck pain.
