Tetris Effect was on sale on Epic Games for $20 and works with Quest Link.

If you own Robo Recall (x-platform) version looks loads better, Rez is relaxing, Google Earth is still the coolest damn thing. Windlands is cool. Shattered Lights looks really cool but I haven't tried it yet.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

There are a bunch of games for the Quest on sale starting today. I think this is the first time they have discounted individual games for that system.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

Thanks, you two. I'll take a look at those, and the sale. I see Moss is discounted. I've been interested in checking that one out for a game I could actually play sitting, and now it's $20 instead of $30.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

I wish there was a demo for this on PS VR. I kind of want to play it, but I know, in the end, it's just Tetris, and I'm not sure I'd be into Tetris with fancy effects for very long.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

I just bought it and have played it a bit on my Rift. It really is wild, but you're right, at the end of the day it is just Tetris.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

So I just realized that you can watch 3d videos on youtube in PS VR. The few I've seen seem pretty low rez though. Anyone have any favorites?

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

I just got an Oculus Go and was wondering the same thing. They look like 8 bit graphics they're so bad.

Like this video looks fine on the computer screen but terrible in the Oculus Go.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

That Quest sale was hit and miss. A lot of games only had like a dollar or two off, but a few half decent with $10 off.

I see that The Climb came out for Quest and wondered if anyone tried it yet. This is one game I am looking forward to.

I notice that a couple of games that recently came out are very pricey. Arizona Sunshine is $40, and from what I have read nowhere near worth it. Game prices need to be kept low, unless the game has a lot of hours gameplay behind it. I would pay that price for a Skyrim type game, but not some mediocre shooter.

I recently tried the new 180 and 360 modes on Beat Sabre and it's a nice addition. Not sure it's better than the original style, but for a free update its great.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

This is the one I was excited about when I found it. It's based on the Electric Sheep screensaver, which is just computer generated fractal type graphics that are super fun to stare at while stoned. Someone made it into 3d which should have been AMAZING, but it's so low rez, it's just kinda "meh" :(

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

Yeah, YouTube VR and full screen video in general needs work. The lense resolutions are high but just not high enough. That's doubly true for the PSVR, that resolution is just painful.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

The creator of that video posted a response to your comment on Youtube:


So that's a single 180 degree 2D image that's being split up and zoomed in to provide a stereoscopic image. Also, due to the way the 180 degree video is stretched into the square 2D image, anything other than dead center is going to have lower resolution.

Watching a "traditional" 3D video like a theatrical movie may look better, since it's not trying to stretch the movie to fill your view, it'll just present it in a "flat" window.

I tried that video out on the Quest and actually it is more compression artifacts than anything but it's cool when it clears up from time to time

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

I picked up Thrill of the Fight during the Oculus sale. That game is a lot of fun, but I found it really hard to pace myself. If I was playing Mike Tyson's Punch Out I wouldn't care if I lost, but your survival instinct really kicks in while using VR. I did two fights a few days ago and I'm still a little sore.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

I thought this launch video for Elton John's "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour was really impressive and well done (especially the first 6 minutes):

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

I fully expected VR to evolve, but this is beyond what I expected and very awesome!

I wonder how long it'll be before the glasses can adjust for vision impairments. It would be awesome if you could have user profiles, take a vision test with the VR glasses on, and have it adjust what you're seeing to your prescription.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

That would be nice. The insert i 3D printed to hold my prescription lenses in my Rift broke last night. The fun part will be trying to figure out the correct orientation of the lens that fell out once I get a new one printed

Space Channel 5 en route to Playstation VR (and potentially others later.)

Half Life Alyx Metacritic

Half Life Alyx is out, and is getting great reviews. I have it installed but I honestly don't know when I'll get around to playing it, but I'm hoping to get started this week.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

Tried SteamVR on my Quest via link cable and it was pretty cool. I already had No Man's Sky on Steam and I think I'll be more inclined to play it now that I can do it in VR (got a little burned out on it). After I finish my Black Mesa playthrough I'll pick up HL Alyx!! I think the link cable makes the Quest the most versatile headset out now.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

Messed around in Half Life for about 45 minutes today. So far it’s a lot of walking around, and trying to pick up everything you can just to see what happens, as one does in every VR title. Haven’t even held a weapon up to this point.

But holy shit it is a fantastic looking game, and it runs really well on my machine. I hope to put in another hour or so tomorrow, and I think I’m at a point where the action may be about to pick up.

If more publishers committed to putting resources towards VR titles of this quality, then I’d gladly invest in a nicer headset with a higher resolution and FOV.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

If you haven't tried it, and you played/liked Zuma the VR version on Steam called Zooma VR is pretty fun. You get dual "pistols" and the puzzles now wind through 3D space and can intertwine. I think I played for over an hour yesterday.

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

I just looked briefly at the review of Alyx that you linked to... What's with the yellow feet for moving? Can't you just walk around like you normally do in a FPS?

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

Yeah it's an option. There are a few different choices, people have different preferences since some feel sick playing FPS in VR, others prefer it because then you can just walk around (if you have roomscale + enough room) the room. And some prefer it FPS style (especially if seated)

Especially if you're doing something like:

it's definitely easier to throw yourself in the middle of the room and roomscale it. :lol:

re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)
 

Ah, okay. At least there's an option. I think it looks too primitive with the method in the review.
