The VR thread

[Rich..]

It's awesome but needs a fairly top spec machine and is definitely inducing

I think I have my VR legs now, I already have a flight sim, Aerofly FS2, and have no problem with that, I tried positioning the camera outside of the plane and flying standing up when I was getting a bit bored, that made me feel a bit giddy but still managed to keep my dinner down.

You’re such a nauseating human being.

I’m not concerned about what games I’ll have because I’ll play it for 10 minutes then get bored. I’ll put it in the cupboard and play it for another 10 minutes in a weeks time. Etc.

Sounds like you need the Samsung Gear VR, can buy one for about £20 and it has loads of free content, games demos, rollercoasters etc, and you can do VR p**n on it too.

Did you get one in the end?

Recently got myself one, bought an aftermarket head strap for it, identical to the Oculus elite one but £15 instead of £50, it arrived today and wow what a difference, really shows how s**t the original strap is.

Yes mate, got the Oculus thing, the one with the biggest memory. Used it twice and not looked at it since. 😂

 

[Jonnio]

I got prescription lenses to fit in my PSVR at the start of the year.

Used it twice and not looked at it since. 😂

That happened again though. 😅

I already have a Rift S but love how this one just works on it's own, have you tried all the free demos like creed boxing and beat sabre? They're good fun, and guessing by your lack of use you've not discovered VR p**n?

 

[Rich..]

Oh and whoever it was told you to buy the biggest one owes you £100, you definitely didn't need more than 64gb

No not yet. And there’s good reason… I’ve got a very addictive personality and I’m genuinely scared I’ll be on it all the time. Everyone I’ve spoken to says it’s amazing and I’m petrified it will ruin my life. 😂

Should try having VR p**n and a very laid back mrs like mine, she's quite happy to replicate what I'm seeing in VR, ultra immersive

 

[Rich..]

Couple of great free games on the Quest (these need to be sideloaded they’re not on the Oculus store).

Pavlov Shack - good fun in normal mode, scary asf in zombie mode




Gorilla Tag - simple but fun game, great for a work out, made me sweat buckets!

Assetto Corsa makes me chunder in short order.

Doing flips and s**t in Flight Simulator? No problem.

Getting solid 80fps in Assetto. FS I could be down to 30-40fps and still not be queasy, so I feel like it’s motion or something. Any tips?

I’ve never experienced it in a racing sim, but I had a Gear VR for my for my phone before getting a more serious set up and I think I got used to it on that, doing VR rollercoasters etc. It’s just something you gradually overcome I think, and also something that some people get worse than others, it maybe helped me that I actually liked getting it as for me it added to the experience, maybe I played through it?

The main thing I’ve seen mentioned to combat it is to have a fan blowing on you while you play, maybe try that.

Just bought a Valve Index purely for Half Life Alyx and then I'm going to sell it on. I've just played for 30 mins and jesus christ it's amazing... Problem though, I just nipped to the shop to buy some cigs and my head was totally ruined. I kept trying to move like I was doing in the game, which is like a teleport movement. I just totally felt disconnected with the world and it's still lingering a bit now. Does this feeling pass? It's weird as hell lol

 

[Jonnio]

Sounds like you're broken forever now 😵

Mate, I kept trying to teleport everywhere IRL

Medal Of Honor Above and Beyond is getting released on the Quest 2 today. Oculus sent a 30% off code a week or so ago, but of course it expired 2 days ago so can’t use it on this, b******s.

Didn't know there was a VR thread.

Bought a quest 2 the other day

Have you done VR p**n yet?

I don't know what you're talking about, Richard

Why do you think I bought it....

This explains why you didn’t know we had a VR thread, been in a coma for 3 days

I’m really enjoying VR now. Still really only playing racing and flight sims, but it adds a whole new layer of immersion.

I think I’m done with my Rift S though. The experience is good, but the resolution and field of view just isn’t good enough. I think the ultimate step will end up being a Pimax 8K X, or whatever succeeds it (likely, because that will be inside out tracking and therefore not need lighthouses), but those headsets give huge FOV and the resolution you need. I think everybody needs to at least try a decent VR experience, everybody I’ve let have a whirl has been blown away.

I ordered ‘The walking Dead, saints and sinners’ at Xmas and I can hand on heart say it’s the most stressful game I’ve ever played.
It’s terrifying. Both me and my son managed about 15 minutes before we had to take the headset off.
Its scary, it’s stressful, it’s gory… it’s one hell of a game but I’m far too weak for it.

 

[McGherkin]

You can’t say that and not post a video of you cacking yourself.

 

[ChrisR]

Thinking I want to pickup a Quest 2 now, not too expensive to give it a try.

 

[Ray Gin]

So is the p**n good or not

Get this for a nice relaxing change of pace.

My Reverb G2 arrived this morning. Not set it up yet but its primary purpose is to use with iRacing and my racing cockpit.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I got in from work this morning and decided to check out this Quest 2. I watched a few things on YouTube in 360 and I was pretty blown away.

Just had a go on some shooting game called sandstorm I think. It’s bloody amazing and I’m sure there’s far better games available.

All in all £300 well spent I think,

If you think I get adequate privacy at home to don a VR headset for a w**k you are very much mistaken. Just you wait until you have kids 😂

Just wonder into the shed to 'fix a few things'.
