Once the price drops significantly, yes. Companies selling VR for $700+ are what holds back VR. They need to sell at a loss and make money back through software like every console company in existence.

As long as VR remains out of the reach of casual players, it remains a gimmick.

when is this coming out?

I wouldn't go that far, but I will say that it has made it harder to enjoy non-VR games. It especially kills my motivation to play a non-VR game that would have worked well in VR.

Already is.

are people enjoying them so far? I used to spend a lot of time with my Gear VR, would get my phone real hot, kill my battery in an hour or two and the graphics were trash and hurt my eyes but I had a ton of fun with it. Would gladly pick this up for some virtual shooting range bullshit or an animal hunting game (can't remember the game on Gear but shooting deer, bears, and other gay animals in VR put the biggest fucking smile on my face)

Ok, being 100% honest: VR porn is GODTIER. I'm surprised so many don't know yet but holy fuck what an experience.

See people said this but I got VR and VR porn is mostly really dodgy and heavily paywalled, torrents are hard to find and only like 4 groups seem to even make proper VR porn and of them only like 2 are good.

As for VR porn games, there are like 15 in the whole world and again most aren't good.

Feel free to prove me wrong as I would love recommendations but I disagree with this poster.

So which is the best deal for someone looking into getting VR later this year or early 2020? $1000 for the full Index kit seems good due to the new controllers and such.

I think vr porn is the future, shits mad shibby yo, eventually when it becomes more mainstream we'll see more people doing it and the cost will come down, for now if you're single go ahead and subscribe to a couple sites and just understand you won't have content for every day. Fuck if you jerk it that much you've got a problem anyways, go to /fit/ for help

Facebook's got your back because that's exactly what they are focusing on. As a gen 1 rift owner I'm more interested in the Valve Index as I've been waiting for a great upgrade for 3 years now.

>still no yugioh vr game

I follow some VR youtubers. They seem to enjoy it. One said he haven't stayed in touch with the real world in 3 days.

>all this obsession over porn being in VR
No wonder you all have problems mentally, especially you trannies that frequent the site

Exactly I have 4 sensors and the rift S has been a severe disappointment. Valve Index it is then.

I have seen one but I think it's just a mod/room for something

I'm STILL WAITING for this level of VR

Whats the best way to get into vr porno? what games and/or mods?

Yes I'd love to play it but it wasn't supported on Gear, I don't believe it will be for the Quest either, right? My PC is very old and I don't game much anymore outside of playing hot shots golf or EDF on my Vita so the cost of full VR is quite a bit to consider since I'd need to build a new rig. The game I was playing on the Gear VR was called Swat Academy, I'd hold the controller the way I'd hold a handgun and get in to proper stance and pivot around my room, had a fucking blast with it
I'm just trying to figure out if you're saying he spent 3 days just doing VR shit without going outside or interacting with the real world, sounds nuts if that's what you mean

>One said he haven't stayed in touch with the real world in 3 days.
Well that's one way to desperately get clicks.

VR porn vids are garbage but if you're lazy or stupid or can only nut to 3DPD they're your only option. There's not a lot of room for improvement there either, meanwhile interactive porn is only lacking in ambition right now but still being pushed ahead by a handful of independent devs and modders.

i used to blow so much of my cash on ammo and so much of my ammo at the range. one time purchase of h3vr has let me save up on both.

>sounds nuts if that's what you mean

as a youtuber he has to make content. I guess he is not solely playing and fapping. But yeah he probably stayed in his house for 3 days or more doing nothing but VR.
It's not that nuts, people are dying in front of their computers playing MMORPGs nowadays

>It's not that nuts, people are dying in front of their computers playing MMORPGs nowadays
that's the definition of nuts user, sick fucking world we live in. I live in a decent area and on Saturday mornings myself and all my neighbors are out in the sun mowing our yards, washing cars, etc. It makes me sad knowing there are people that either can't compete or are too lazy to live this kind of life and instead live in small dark places where they rent and live through a screen

Once we get proper VR MMOs and Diablo style lootwhore games there will be many deaths
It's actually shocking that we have so many shitty VR dungeon crawlers right now but not a single one with an extensive RNG loot system. Hell most of them have like 5 varieties of sword and call it a day.

And why would I want shitty games that cater to plebs, current vr is fine and it's improving, and cheaper alternative is going to be shit in comparison.

Use a private tracker like EMP and download the 5k(2700p) and 6k(3072) versions of the video you want to watch. 6k is best if you have a vibe/rift cv1, get the content type you like. VR is super popular on private trackers so you get many videos uploaded per day, my only issue is that more niche content is rarer in VR as it is a relatively new medium.

Before this I used tube sites but those suck balls compared to downloading a 6k source video. You can play the content with Whirligig player it is the best vr player around with a shit ton of options.

Is that a FAMAS?

That's why I'm asking, I don't have VR right now. You don't really need the controllers, but you would probably want them? Same with the tracking, you don't need it but you'd probably want it? Are VR games still pretty fun without the LH and Knuckle Controllers? Cause if those don't add much to the experience then the $1000 isn't worth it.

This. Porn is boring, I spend maybe 3 hours a month looking at it, most of which is in a single session.

VR will be good once it emerges from its Net Yaroze phase. Until then, it's pure gimmick.

Find a good private tracker and you won't have issues with paywalls. I hope the amateur/home vid scene becomes easier to get into, I prefer real people to actors and sets.

Yea the tracking is critical to the experience. If ur looking into an index you could piece meal it and by the headset first then the controllers and lighthouse 2.0. But thats a big jump going from no vr to an index, I'd say try out a crappier experience like a rift s or even cheaper like those often on sale windows mixed reality headsets.

From what I've seen the index is awesome but if you don't already have lighthouses it's expensive.

Nobody has Knuckles right now except for devfags, they don't ship for like a month. Also everyone's scrambling to add support to existing games, which is going to be patchy and forced.
My guess is that Knuckles aren't going to be "worth it" for months unless you're a hardcore enthusiast. Not to mention they're sold out and will likely sell out within hours every new batch for months so good fucking luck getting on the preorder list.
As for inside-out vs external, the former is adequate but the latter is the only option for people who want zero tracking issues. There's a lot of small details, do your research.

its not cynicism for vr. its cynicism for cancerous facebook vr

Lighthouses are objectively the best tracking system currently, but it's a matter of personal taste regarding games.
You dont need to move around when playing elite dangerous for example.
Likewise with the vive waggle wands in that they work fine for most games, the oculus touch controllers are a step up from them with the knuckles being a step further.

If you just want to experience VR for the first time, go for the cheapest facebook option and see if it tickles your fancy since it's standalone, then think about upgrading if you want more.
'more' being higher quality visuals, immersion and the like.

>Also everyone's scrambling to add support to existing games, which is going to be patchy and forced.
I've heard that it's easier than you'd think to add knuckles support, in that they'll work just fine for games if they already recognise the wands, they just probably wouldn't take advantage of the knuckles features like finger tracking and such.
I heard that here though so grains of salt and all that.

If you think that's worth paying extra $600 for - go for it. There's options for everyone.
We still need a some 600$ option, I expect Vive Cosmos to fit between Rift S and Index both specs and price-wise

based

At least it's not already dead anymore.

I'm sure adding knuckles support is relatively easy (inevitable SteamVR bugs aside) but as we all know VR devs are incompetent and lazy aside from the few outliers that everyone hangs all over for a reason.
The big issue is that Valve in their typical inability to capitalize on clear advantages dropped in their laps, have no knuckles supporting games lined up other than some vague promises of tech demos in the far future of Valve Time. Anyone who buys knuckles on a lark right now will have nothing to do with them for quite some time.

Already have my Index pre ordered. I'm going to pick up a Quest too just because I know those fuckers at Oculus are going to have Quest exclusive shit.

I've steered away from getting something cheaper cause I could put that money towards my PC instead. I've tried a Gear VR once but that's it for my experience with VR. Now my PC is finally good enough to drive VR so maybe I'll pick up a rift or something when it's on sale to give it a shot.

Understood, I think the finger tracking stuff is really impressive. I've been watching a few videos on VR and such but it's always nice to get a users' non-shilled opinion,

Yeah a lot of people recommend just going with the cheapest shit first. I guess I was mostly worried that the cheap shit would turn people off from VR.

I don't even understand Nintendo anymore, it's like an alien culture

Why is she so god damn cute?

Why? Just use revive.

I've never used it myself on account of not wanting to bother with awkward control mappings to the vive wands, but now that knuckles are basically a superset of the touch controllers why would you buy a second headset for access to facebook's (poorly) walled garden?

Buy a pre-owned unit for half the retail price
Or at least go to a VR cafe to see if you even like it

>I guess I was mostly worried that the cheap shit would turn people off from VR.
As long as you go with legitimate VR with 6DOF you're fine, even cheap ass $120 WMR is surprisingly decent. It's stuff like Google Cardboard or 3DOF mobileshit that's not even worth the effort.
A Rift S or Odyssey+ when it's being sold for $300 are probably good ways to get your feet wet while experiencing legit VR.

Not that I advocate giving Zucc any money or giving a single shit about Oculus exclusives but Revive is far from perfect and liable to become even more broken with any arbitrary Oculus update. Personally I uninstalled since there was too much judder or misaligned optics to bother with the headache, nor do I want Facebook software on my machine for any reason.

My card only has 4GB of VRAM but the Index's recommended specs list a 1060 6GB. How much do you guys think that will cripple the framerate?

Attached: big mommy.webm (1000x563, 2.08M)

A lot. Also depends what game you play.

Should be fine once they implement foveated rendering through a firmware update.

A 1060 6GB is only decent for VR to begin with, going lower is certainly possible but at that point you're probably not going to be getting the advantages of Index's high end specs. I wouldn't do it unless you're planning to upgrade the card within the year as well.

That's not how that works

The future is bright.

Attached: 1556838300736.jpg (1200x924, 988K)

>foveated rendering
You need eye tracking for that and only HTC is actually confirmed to be implementing that, probably at a ludicrous enterprise-level price point which means that almost nobody will be inclined to support it

Like another user mentioned support is spotty as shit and I'd rather not have any facebook software on my new computer. The Quest is standalone so that's fine and I'm sure there are going to be Quest only games since Oculus is funneling all their money into right now.
Also it'll be nice to take it places and show people VR who have never tried it.

How is VR porn on cheap headsets like cardboard or samsung vr gear?

VRAM size never affects frame rate l in anything (vr or not) until the worst case scenario in which you completely run out, where you begin swapping and everything goes straight to hell.

Outside bethesda ports, nearly every vr game I've played seems to repeat a very low number of blurry 512x512 textures though and I have no idea why they'd recommend a 6GB card.

It's fine if you're just watching the videos. Don't expect to play any porn games

What kind of phone do you have user? I have an s8 and it's ok, I love the idea but in execution it isn't quite there; then again I could never find full res movies back when I used to fuck around with it. Another issue is there's a lot of pov shit which is kind of lame, I like dyke shit and vr doesn't really cater to that well

The only non gimmicky vr is obviously stuff like racing games, flight sims etc

I don't wear a harness but when I play a standing up game like Beat Saber is attach the cable to my waist using a belt. I feel like those things should come with the headsets.

Thanks user

well like I said, I had trouble finding free content because this was a couple years back, the one or two high resolution videos I found looked great and the 3d effect was pretty good. I imagine everything's a lot easier to get to now and I'd totally recommend you try it, especially considering getting something like the cardboard costs what, $5? Give it a go friendo

The potential for it to not be a gimmick is absolutely there. There's times when you put on the headset and you just alternate environment and start getting kind of comfortable there, almost as if you've left the real world... but there's nothing to do. Everyone's just pumping out these overpriced and empty cash grabs. If people put in the kind of work that normal games get, it really could be something at some point.

This annoys me too. It is really rare that we actually get something new that changes how we play video games. Being able to experience from the early stages and see how it will evolve is really amazing. I can only compare it to when 3D graphics started to become a thing, which was about 20 years ago. Missing out so you can maintain your pessimistic image on Yea Forums is a shame.

I agree. There actually are some phenomenal games like VRChat that you could easily soak hundreds of hours in.

Nothing against what you're doing, I'm beyond sick of VR shootytooty games. Everyone makes a shooter because it makes sense to do with VR, so we're literally drowning in gun games and crappy archery simulators.

MMOs being a dying genre doesn't help but you need a substantial player pool to draw from and VR doesn't have that
In fact VR dev being so obsessed with multiplayer right now is a bit retarded and just results in countless ghost towns and very few worthwhile single player experiences

Have you not been keeping up with VR? Valve has revealed they are launching a VR "flagship" game by the end of the year. I don't believe we've ever seen a game defined as a VR flagship -stuff like robo recall while quality don't seem comparable to things traditionally referred to as flagships- so I expect it to be as high quality as Valves typical AAA games if that is the case then that is a big breakthrough for VR.

>Yea I actually stopped watching flat screen porn*

If you think about it, that initial cost isn't as much a gatekeeper as it is a deal breaker. The majority of normies are only predisposed to spending that amount of money on something that can further their social capital. Parents aren't likely to latch onto VR as easily as consoles either, since it's more obviously socially isolating for their children. This leaves only niche appeal. It comes down to market share and public interest, and VR currently does not have that mass appeal. Oculus is trying to counteract this fact with their newer headsets but it's an effort that will likely be in vain. It's basically denying the ability to convert people who might otherwise be on the fence about the prospect.

My humorous side likes where you are going with this but 3DTVs don't do those things. If they did maybe they wouldn't have been pointless.

There are several inherent issues with VR but I don't think the price is one of them. The shit normans will buy to increase their "social capital", as you put it, often cost well into the thousands. Shitbird Apple computers, smartphones, jewelry, etc. They just won't get into it until they see that a lot of others are into it. Then they will HAVE to, as is hardcoded to their instincts.

And then they will ruin everything about it. Because that's what happens.

Well shes a fictional character so it doesn't matter but if she had fair skin prior to that sun exposure you can expect her skin to go to shit real fast(premature wrinkles, moles, liver spots, skin cancer etc.). The darkening of the skin is a sign that significant skin damage already took place, so roasted skin like that can come at a great cost. Now if shes some native whose skin is naturally darker due to centuries of adaptation then it's not as bad a situation but generally sun exposure = bad past a 10-15min period for vitamin production.

The thing is buying VR is purely for the completely different gaming experience that you wouldn't get from regular gaming...

>the completely different gaming experience

I think I'm going to get a rift S, I just can't afford the Index and they don't sell it in my country for the time being.

My big question is are my HD650s going to fit around the headset like it did with my CV1?
I shouldn't have fucking sold it fuck

People buy it for different reasons but the one thing we all have in common is that we want to use the gear to experience all these different gaming experiences. The problem is that you very quickly run out and nothing else seems to be coming on the horizon. It's very stagnant.

This, it's amazing how little you need to change the game entirely when you turn it into vr vidya. Take ordinary counterstrike, copy it into a shitty one-person dev team project, call it pavlov vr, suddenly a simple action of shooting bullets from your gun becomes ridiculously fun because you're doing pretty much the same things you do on a shooting range. I can't wait for future vr vidya, boneworks intends to set a new standard and i love what i see there

Fucking cringe, keep your pants on.

VR isn't even close to being ready for the mainstream, maybe when Valve's "flagship" VR title actually drops but not a minute sooner because nobody else has the balls to really invest in VR to the extent it needs to bootstrap it into the normalfag sphere.
Otherwise the best you're going to get is Faceberg's slightly more polished tech demos and walking simulators
This platform is 100% not for people who just wanna play polished games right now, it's for people willing to suffer and pay out for a taste of the only real innovation vidya has seen in decades.
And that's fine because with normalfags comes production value but also the usual cancer.

Sure, they may use VR for different things but at the end of the day, what makes it appealing is the fact that it's virtual reality.

Well it's certainly virtual, but it doesn't look much like reality yet. Or one that we would find appealing at any rate.

I agree with the rest though.

Odyssey+ goes on sale for $300 regularly.

Lenovo explorer refurbished for $130 on eBay when it's in stock.

Dude, people spend 300+ dollars on a console just to play a few exclusives. At least with VR, you have a shit ton games that you can only experience in VR. Despite me not spending as much time in VR compared to others, I'm still very satisfied and glad with the games I've experienced. Normies spend hundreds to go skydiving, traveling, or scuba diving for a short time and they feel like they got their money's worth. I feel the same as that but instead, I get a better deal because the content is unlimited.

What on Earth made you think this was a good hypothetical

Forget about the mainstream, VR isn't even ready for people with taste yet. It is so basic right now. You have to be a hardcore tech enthusiast or a businessman to even remotely care about it in its current form. People who want to play good games aren't interested yet because non-VR games are still way better.

I'm saying that's where I am with VR atm. I own the Lamborghini. You know what it is now? A gazeebo. It's been packed up in my closet for some time now and I'm gonna sell it off to get the Rift S.

Blade and Sorcery is pretty fun, I just wish there was a game like it with an actual storyline and content.

Yeah anyone going on about how we NEED bigger and better VR adoption is a retard or oculus shill.
There's no doubt that VR is totally amazing in its current state but also completely user unfriendly. Even still everyone with an ounce of sense sees the immense potential and knows it's here to stay.
You could give every person on Earth a free index and the majority of them couldn't do shit with it because VR isn't ready to cater to absolute ADHD retards. And that's fine, there's plenty interesting shit going on for those who actually care.

This.

Lots of people argue with the naysayers like myself on here, but we really just want VR to grow, become more epic in scale, and meet the expectations we've formed over decades of playing games from developers who have decades of experience. I don't just want to slice and dice some niggas in a coliseum repetitively and pointlessly, I want to be fucking Russell Crowe in Gladiator, if you get me.

Right, you're braindamaged.

>El retardo with the DOA webms got BTFO

Have DOAVR/SL and VR Kanojo and Kanojo is literally so superior is not even funny

Someday but for now we get next to no AAA titles. Hell I'd be happy to see some 1ma devs team up for a half decent open source title that actually has shit to do. I'd even contribute to that shit.

It's tech demos like B&S that are showing everyone especially the mainstream what VR is capable of. Self-declared smart people think we can just skip that step or something and instantly usurp the 30 year old flat games industry. But we can't, flat vidya didn't skip it either and in fact it took over a decade for something as basic as wasd+mouselook to become the norm.
Meanwhile VR has adopted a standardized system of realistic gun handling/reloading within a year of motion controls being introduced to the ecosystem.
I totally get the impatience but at the same time we have to recognize that shit takes time and even still VR is moving faster than the most independent low-overhead devs can keep up with.

This is very true. I'm a VR dev who unironically has probably made more VR prototypes than anyone on the planet, and when VR first came out it was really infuriating how most games weren't adopting the obvious control systems.
Now, those systems are everywhere. Locomotion is the norm. Most games know what it takes to feel solid.
Yeah, it's going to take some time, but if you don't think VR is going to shape into something great, or that it's going to die, or that it's just a meme, you're just wrong. It's a new technology in it's baby stages and it's already amazing.

It's not a binary switch and Oculus is willing to burn bridges with enthusiasts to chase the casuals, force the casual market to pop into existence and save them from Valve.
Obviously it's not impossible to gain adopters especially if you're willing to subsidize your HMD like Oculus is but we'll see how many they can keep in the long run.
I love VR but we all know that the novelty diminishes significantly after a couple months.

I don't deny VR has great potential. In fact, that's why I'm such a belligerent naysayer towards current VR. I don't believe that it's "already amazing" — it's nowhere's near the level of amazing it could be. Which is why I refuse to call its current form amazing.

Obviously something like this isn't just going to be amazing overnight. If you think the naysayers think this, you're wrong. But it helps nobody to say that current VR is already amazing. That just sounds like marketerspeak.

I'm not one of those fags who want VR for the masses or whatever. I have more fun tinkering with the horribly outdated Dolphin VR than playing any of the top rated commercial VR releases and I hope vrchat/beatsaber casuals get cancer.
VR is going to improve incrementally and at a much faster rate than naysayers think, but still too slow for the whining brainlets. That's fine, meanwhile all the big tech companies are pouring money into it because they too understand that VR is here to stay and it will be the battleground within the decade.
VR in its current state is a tough nut to crack and completely inaccessible to most of you brainlets, it's too bad (for you) you don't find it already amazing. Wait for facebook to save you with some faux-AAA garbage I guess.

There are a few like Subnautica, The Forest, Skyrim etc but people just dismiss them because "I can play that without vr".

It's a completely nonsensical argument because it doesn't stop the VR version being good to play and it's really stupid to think any big game company outside of Oculus is going to make a full blown game that's VR exclusive.

You're just sounding like a resentful nerd now.

Struck a nerve huh?
Harp on normalfag VR all you like, if you spent 5 seconds thinking about the logistics of it and what normalfags actually care about you'd realize that VR is going to be a niche novelty for 5-10 years at a minimum and the only people who are having consistent fun are the autistic enthusiast crowd.
All that's left for people like you is coming up with excuses and gazing longingly at VR adoption charts and hoping Beat Saber Quest doesn't fuck you over too hard.

It might stay niche, but right now it's a niche that only STEM nerds can love. I'm an art nerd. I want it to migrate into my niche, and I'm not all that concerned about the logistics, although I'm fully aware of them. Keep acting like a child though.

If an art nerd, You really need to try out those 3D painting applications. You can paint in the air, all around you, in all directions. You can even animate to some degree.

There are some people on here who have interests beyond video games and computers. Surprising, I know.

I preordered Rift S and definitely want to check out Subnautica and The Forest. Skyrim is shit though. Not only does the game itself suck, but I played it on PSVR and hated how slippery the movement felt. Doom VFR had a similar problem although that's a better game. I don't trust Bethesda to make good VR content because they can hardly make good video games.

First, everyone look at the first seconds of this video. No explanations are needed.

youtube.com/watch?v=F_brnKz_2tI

Now you have your answer. Scientists are decoding the way the brain works and adapting said signals to actual machinery, that's how prosthetics arm work and they're making HUGE advances. So, the very possibility of putting on a special helm that controls the movements of your character in the virtual world it's a reality that'll take... what, some 10 years? This is already being done for prosthetics, so cut it down to 5 years for experimental VR sensors. In 2 decades it's a guarantee.
I can see companies making you a custom character. That is, you order a model that's properly rigged to be controlled by your brain, since I think that stuff needs to be calibrated for each individual body. At least prosthetic arms currently take 40 hours to be custom made for you.
Science aside, look at the facts. This shit started in... 2011? With Kinect. Kinect was shit, but it was a serious attempt to make immersive games controlled by movement. And from that we came to this, actual VR that people seem to enjoy. So yeah, 5 years more and current VR tech will be seen as trash just like the Kinect, and the newest thing will be gorgeous.

But 20 years tops and we'll have full-on virtual reality like Sword Art Online and Megaman Battle Network.

The devs are complete pieces of shit who wouldn't fix their own shitty VR but fortunately someone did it for them, there's a VR fix mod on subnautica nexus page

Yeah, you need to mod Skyrim before it's any good and even then it's more visuals.

the forest vr is pure kino, and crossplay makes it a lot of fun to play with non-vr friends.
exploring caves and getting into fights with cannibals is fun as fuck. The player hitboxes are pretty decent, I've done some pretty crazy moves dodging attacks from the natives.

Fuck Skyrim. Port Morrowind to VR and I'll care.

If anything, current VR is making people look more favorably on the kinect
Their mistake was trying too hard to force it in a context where it was detrimental to the experience, just like what Wii did to motion controls. It all makes perfect sense in VR.
Leave it to Microsoft to let the tech languish along with WMR however

>and even then it's more visuals
Nope

Someone was working on that and there's an ancient beta for Oculus, haven't tried it
Oddly it seems there's someone working on Daggerfall Unity VR though I'm not sure what the status on it is

>Yeah that's why I'm asking people who have it if they feel they add to the experience. Not sure why you're being a prick instead of just saying "Yeah the tracking adds a lot to the experience" or "No, in my opinion not enough high quality VR games use LH 2.0 to make it worth the investment."
Because that's a retarded question. When you go to try and buy the Headset it says "Requires Controllers, Base Stations, and PC." at the bottom and above it says "FOR PEOPLE WITH VIVE OR VIVE PRO".
It says this for a reason, and that reason isn't that they think you're stupid. The Headset doesn't have any kind of Internal tracking. You will NEED Base Stations for it to operate in the first place. I don't think you can play without. Whether those are 1.0 or 2.0 Base Stations is up to you.
Similar thing with the Controllers, you will need Controllers to interact with like 90%+ of VR games, whether those are Vive Wands or the new Valve Knuckles Controllers is up to you, but you will require a full package of Headset+Base Stations+Controllers to be able to properly play.

>Not to mention they're sold out and will likely sell out within hours every new batch for months so good fucking luck getting on the preorder list.
Knuckles and Base Stations are actually the two products still available to buy for June 28. It's all the other products and Kits that are sold out till August.

Thinking about all of the shit required to play it... I'm thinking we might see a revival of Arcades. But this time they will be expensive as shit, on high-tech facilities. I'm imagining some place with dozens or hundreds of designated cubicles sponsored by Microsoft you rent to play for some hours with the latest VR tech available. Kinda like subscribing to an MMO, but you have to drive there to play.

They'll be open 24 hours a day and maybe they'll have a cafeteria in the same building for people who are taking a rest. And a free water bottle.

Things like Kinect and Move failed because they were (officially) limited to consoles. The few games that support them were rarely innovative, probably because they were just following instructions.

VR has fared better because there's been an indie dev community experimenting with it since the first Oculus devkit and anybody can download unity or UE4 and just start making something for it.

are you using the old .sx domain extension? they dropped that recently. use .me instead

What you think they'd have been good for flat gaming on PC? Lol no. The problem is that you don't need 3D movement recognition to interact with a 2D screen sitting a ways in front of you, in fact it gimps you and feels terrible, especially when memes like waggle are pushed on devs because the tracking is too cheap to be precise enough for anything but gesture-activated inputs.
You absolutely need it when you're actually plunged INSIDE a fully 3D environment that doesn't recognize your body at all without it. Body awareness is a huge issue for immersion that isn't getting enough respect. WMR could make itself very competitive by officially implementing kinect but MS doesn't give enough shits about it compared to the enterprise AR side even the tech is already made.

Sony would sell 5x more VR sets if they made it PC compatible so people could use it for porn and games.

>Sony
>porn and games

Sony won't even deliver xinput drivers for their dualshock, i wouldn't expect anything from them. Nerds, on the other hand, could probably figure out a thing or two. I'm using Move controllers as my PCVR motion controllers, i wouldn't be surprised if there would be a sony headset steamvr support available somewhere on someone's github

1. It's already PC compatible if you're not stupid
2. Sony absolutely doesn't want you livestock straying from the paddock and they hate the PC because they have no control there

These guys are oblivious.

Look, I’m a damn idiot and I just want to play Borderlands VR. Can I still use my PSVR to watch porn off pornhub? Would it still work like that? I just can’t imagine downloading 10 gigabytes of one video to pound off and then be done with it.

>Sony won't even deliver xinput drivers for their dualshock
They did but only because of that shitty streaming thing.
Hell, Steam supports PS controllers by default now. Even the PS4's gyro and touchpad.
>I'm using Move controllers as my PCVR motion controllers
I can't even picture how shoddy that must be. With a bit of work lighthouse-based controllers can be made HMD-agnostic so would probably work with a PSVR. Then again it'd cost more than the HMD itself so whatever.

Don't know about Kinect but I remember somebody getting a Move to control a sword in L4D2. It would follow the angle and position of the controller. The key word here is experimentation. Consoles rarely allow it.

Morton Heilig (not Helig)'s machine wasn't VR. It was a 3D movie viewer with shit like smells and sounds, wind blowing in your face and a rocking chair below your ass. There wasn't any interactive component to it.

Sutherland did develop the first actual VR, since he had an interactive 3D environment, but it was literally just a cube with the four cardinal points/directions displayed that ran at 20FPS and they didn't have computers strong enough to solve the "hidden line problem" in real time, so everything was see-through and you couldn't see which lines is in front of another.

I don't even know what "Furness" is and the years are wrong. Morton Heilig displayed his "Sensorama" in 1962, not 56 and Sutherland developed his "Sword of Damocles" in 1968, not 65.

VR porn is the future.

Does anybody know if there's any 3D capture porn yet? It all seems to be 3D fisheye vids and games with bad models.

youtube.com/watch?v=efsIoso5KQU

>Thinking about all of the shit required to play it...
You really just need the Headset to display the graphics and play the sound, a Tracking system (either something like Base Stations or Rift Sensors from the outside, or Inside-Out like WMR or the Rift S/Quest have with respectively 2 or 5 Webcams - which is a shittier and less reliable system) and a pair of Controllers for your hands (which could be literally anything).
For the first year of the Oculus Rift release people were using an Xbox One Controller that came with the Kit, if you play something like Elite: Dangerous or Euro Truck Simulator 2 or similar you might want a HOTAS/Joystick Setup or a Wheel/Pedal system.
But for most (e.g. 90% of VR games that aren't ports of flatscreen games) you'll require some sort of VR Controller, for the Rift Ecosystem it's their Touch Controllers, for the Vive Ecosystem it's the Wands, for WMR it's that awkward cheap shit that comes with it and for the Valve Index it's the Knuckles.

Not that I'm aware of. People already balk at downloading 10GB vids, volumetric video is exponentially worse, looks like shit and is still firmly in the research phase as far as I know

>I can't even picture how shoddy that must be
For a $40 nigger-rigged solution, it works surprisingly well. I'm using four eyetoy cameras and my biggest issue now is room geometry/camera placement rather than quality of tracking itself. Lack of touchpads/analogs is a pain too, walk/rotate touchpads are being emulated with a button press + change in controller position. It's more or less okay for pavlov, i've even won a 1v4 when i found a proper nwebie server.

Attached: 211.webm (900x380, 2.52M)

Are you seriously implying WMR controllers are worse than Vive Wands? fucking lol
Thank god those are going extinct

The Virtual Boy was a Monochrome 3D viewer with like two simulated depth levels and not in any way VR. Just because you look into something with both eyes doesn't make it VR.

There's a Emulator for Virtual Boy games using Modern VR HMD's though so you can see what it was like: github.com/braindx/vbjin-ovr

That's dumb. Motion controls function as your hands in VR.

Does Pavlov even have any fucking maps?
I have literally only played on custom looking ones.

he's fat and just wants to strap a screen to hisk face

Not him but dressing up and roleplay are a common thing for couples.

He can literally do that and play games with VorpX if he wasn't a retarded fag

It does, but they're made by Davevillz himself and they suck huge ass. Everybody plays the custom maps from CS or TTT, and since Oculus is a closed platform the only way playing online would be viable is to either publish free custom map packs on the Oculus store, create a way to download custom maps within the client (without the Steam workshop), or to do some scuffed side-loading shit when it comes out.

Keep in mind this is assuming Pavlov even comes out for it in the first place, though there's no decent reason why it shouldn't even without custom map support.

In Zucc we trust amirite

That list is even more underwhelming than I expected
Furthermore it's going to be a lot of "hey I can wiggle my fingers now and that's it" rather than any real implementation. Which is fine but it's going to be funny to see the buyer's remorse from those who bought into the hype.

Whenever the next generation of GPU's mainstream graphics can reliably do VR. This means something that costs under $200 USD, preferably under $150 (something that occupies a niche that the RX 570 currently occupies). Either that or when console gaymurz make it mainstream.

A lot of them experienced ego death when the Index fucking smashed expectations and got booked passed August.
So now they switch from "No one's buying Vr, it's dead, you wasted your money"
to
"THERE'S NO GAMES, DON'T POINT OUT THE PORN, THE DISPLAY APPLICATIONS FOR THINGS LIKE MOVIES, THE SOCIAL APPS, I CARE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES SUDDENLY BECAUSE IT'S Yea Forums"
So when you point out the social aspect of a game like say, Pavlov, where you can point out someone's height in real time, or tbag IRL when you kill someone it doesn't count because "I-it's just ported CS I can play CS" When most poorfags collectively shat their pants at the crowbcat video showing you could toss mags, cancel reloads, steal ammo from teammates, take out enemy mags.

Yes, when it stops requiring a headset. So good luck with that holodeck.

Your idea of epic adventure is extremely weak if you aren't joking.

Meth and masturbation has never been the same since vr porn.

why do japs fetishize whites so much

>It's another 'I didn't look but I'll say it's bad anyway' reply.

If none of them count then the game you want just doesn't exist yet.

Because whites have invented nearly all of mathematics, and east asians like math

I have HD650 as well and i don’t think they will fit. Rift S has a crown-like strap, just like the PSVR.

So now that FO4 has a mod that turns all the girls anime, is it finally worth playing in VR?

>If none of them count then the game you want just doesn't exist yet.
Duh.

no because its too expensive to get into and its mostly just VR chat being a weeb none of the games are actually good.

As in anywhere. Like it being technically impossible until machine learning can just make games for us.

Be honest user, anyone with a brain read it this way

Skyrim, Hellblade, Robinson: The Journey, Moss, Chronos, Red Matter, The Solus Project, Alien Isolation, Asgard's Wrath, Stormland, Obduction, XING are all "Epic Adventures".

Did this game ever come out?

Jesus fucking christ I'm buying a headset just for this.

I'm pretty hyped up for Borderlands VR, No Mans Sky and Stormlands. Looks like some fun times

None of them are epic enough besides the ports, but they're just ports. This doesn't mean I think they're all bad games.

I'm pretty sure if you can get 100 or so people under the same roof and a significant budget to work on a VR game for 3-4 years, what I'm thinking can be made. No "machine learning that makes games for us" necessary.

Gotta be honest i was kinda bummed out when Valve released the price for index, i can’t afford it so now im stuck with Facebookolus. Not like that is gonna stop me from enjoying VR, but id rather not put more money in their pockets.

Totally agree my dude, at least there has been way more VR threads than there has been for years on Yea Forums.

Makes me glad I copped the Vive, to be honest.
I can get the knuckles, new HMD when I upgrade my 2070 in like 3-5 years, then there were probably be 3.0 base stations that work with everything

I actually own a vr headset you nigger. its literally just VRchat and beign a fucking weeb.

Imagine claiming to own a VR headset and claiming you only play a free game.
If you do own a headset you're a fucking retard.
If not you're a double retard for even entertaining your retarded opinion

Oculus Rift is a great device and the Touch controllers are simply the best in the industry, but if I could choose again, I'd buy Vive, and now would just upgrade the headseat.

Better tracking system (not talking about accuracy here), less USB ports used, can plug into any electrical socket, can actually buy more trackers that you can put on your legs or another objects, trackers aren't actually video cameras controlled by Facebook. Software isn't actually walled garden controlled by Facebook.

I think oculus facebook memes are kinda unfair. Oculus behaves like a separate entity, you don't even have to link your facebook account to oculus account. I'm pretty sure that facebook knows exactly what kind of terrible terrible things i have fapped to in my rift because this kind of data is what puts food on facebook's table, but other than that it's really fair system. Plus rift api is great and performs much better than steamvr in many games (assetto corsa for example), so it's good to have native access to it, especially considering that good guys valve keep their API as open as possible so you can run it as well.

i think i know the story user, i'm into this shit since the beginning and i still own a development kit. i'm not saying that oculus haven't been bought by facebook, i'm saying that oculus behaves like a separate entity and won't annoy you with facebook integration of any kind. some money and some information is going from somewhere to some other place, but from user's point of view there is no reason to be afraid of facebook in a rift. no user would ever notice any relation between oculus and facebook if he wouldn't know about it from other sources. rift software won't even ask you to use your facebook account, it encourages you to use separate oculus one.

Welcome to every successful business on the planet? They absorb and spy on everything.

>Oculus Rift is a great device and the Touch controllers are simply the best in the industry, but if I could choose again, I'd buy Vive, and now would just upgrade the headseat.
I have a Rift and a Vive and that's basically what I'm doing. I'm keeping the Base Stations and Ordered the Valve Index Headset + Controllers Bundle for June 28.

I don't see any appeal to any of the new "Oculus"/Facebook products, Rift S is a downgrade in almost everything aside from Optics and slightly higher resolution screen that I wouldn't want to trade against my OG Rift and Quest is a worthless Mobileshit console.

Also definitely don't want a 280° Facebook Webcam Surveillance System + Microphone in my house and bought almost all my VR games on Steam cause I don't want to be locked into their locked up Ecosystem.

Source and model i beg you

Yep, I regret all the games I have on Oculus store that I could have bought from Steam. Maybe a bit less hassle to have them directly in Oculus, but in the future if I ever want to get out of their walled garden, a lot more hassle.

>and won't annoy you with facebook integration of any kind
