VR so 0 interest

I literally went half and half on an index with my brother in time for Alyx's release. Best decision we've ever made for one of the best games ever made. Hell of an entry into VR for us (and nothing sadly has come close to that experience)

So you just came to troll. Got it.

 

[Gamer79]

this sounds awful to me to be honest. There’s a reason why everyone bounced off the Wii quickly.

If you haven't tried it, don't knock it

It’s really top notch! I borrowed a Quest 3 from my friend since I own an Index and Batman was pure fun, it’s not perfect though. Too bad it’s never coming to PCVR, just imagining what they could’ve done without being limited to mobile hardware :/

 

[drotahorror]

Not violent enough for me. I ONLY play this VR game. No other game exists now.

I played s few hours of this on the Oculus CV1, after getting a Quest 3 for Christmas I restarted it, wow the clarity is amazing as is the interaction.

I've not played Batman yet but looking forward to it.

I didn’t knock it. I said it sounds awful TO ME. Not my thing. Relax.

You dont literally have to try everything to decide if you’re interested in something. Think about every movie you don’t watch or game you don’t play.

 

[Tygeezy]

Holy hell, this game is amazing. Most fun I have had with a game in years! Everyone on GAF needs to play this game.




I agree, completely. It does feel like VR hardware is still 5+ years away, but it already is pretty good if done right.

Quest 4 will definitely be welcomed, especially if they can increase the FOV and refresh while making these headsets [much] lighter.

Micro oled and eye tracking over wider fov in my opinion.

Its all about cost. They don't want another apple vision flop in their hand.

Or Index and PSVR2 for that matter. It's pretty clear that $300 is the sweet spot for impulse buys. Even the Q3 was hardly making waves when it was $650.

I’d add RE4 to that. You can dual wield a knife and a gun or two guns. I had out my TMP and Red9. I am passed Mendez and into the castle atm. It’s a whole other feeling fighting the giant in VR. You feel like you’re living out the game. You can stand there and watch dust fly in the air, throw the gun in the air to catch it, and small details.

I will say this, it feels like it could have come out a decade ago. The graphics are from the HD version. You feel like you’re in a fine tuned version of the GameCube version. Best part, you feel like you’re there. I feel like it’s reliving the original developer’s work. It’s the ultimate version of the OG RE4.

Odd because I have no issues. Maybe factory reset your quest? I know that is a pain in the ass to set back up but sounds like you have some kind of bug or software issue causing problems.

I got it working. There’s 3 accounts on the Meta 3. When my daughter went to install it the first time, she did something that corrupted the data. So everyone else showed a 80 MB download for Batman and not 19 GB. I had to remove the installation from each profile, reboot and then it showed 19 GB download on my profile. I just did my first fight as Batman. I love the immersion. I played all the Batman games on PS3, PC, and PS4 when each game came out. I’d absolutely buy each Arkham game remade in VR. It gives the game a fresh feeling.

That’s probably my biggest compliment to VR. You could make a lot of classic games and remake them in VR. You become immersed with the environment, the feeling of actually being the character, and you feel the impact of your actions. I’m looking forward to playing more since I haven’t scratched the surface with Batman yet.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say VR has what it needs for someone to just switch over completely. There’s aspects to it that you can’t get with physical movements. The controller is what I’ll play most games with, but VR isn’t a bad addition.

That's fair but comparing it to the wii reveals how far off base the opinion is. It's a much different experience and videos don’t do it any justice. Wii? Yup, you could watch a video and get a great sense of it.

And VR has outsold wii before by several magnitudes and kept going.

 

[drotahorror]

fair point

When you're 500lbs the only counter punching you wanna do is when Mcdonalds fucks your order up.

I’m comparing it in the sense of me moving my arms around to punch. That experience isn’t going to be better just because it may be Implemented better or have better tracking. When I game I just want to chill on the couch or in bed, not punch my arms out in the air repeatedly.

Its really not about it being better implemented than wii, its a completely different experience. That's my point. If throwing punches is a deal breaker though that's fine too.

But again, I don't see people dropping it for this reason. It's literally outselling every game console on Amazon with Batman as the pack in game. This has been the case for awhile.

You hope the cost is driven down on that tech by the time q4 gets here.

Heck no. I hate looking through a diving mask. You need full human FOV for full immersion (about 210 degrees).

I am ready for that Three body problem show vr headset but we are miles away from that.

Definitely not happening this decade or early next. Can you imagine the crazy advancements in panels necessary for that? Not to mention the crazy amount of processing you need to handle it.

YEARS ago a research engineer for Panasonic told me that based on their research, VR tech really needed to get to a point of 210 degrees FOV with 360hz refresh (which he said is where it almost won’t be perceivable to the human eye) with 12K per eye.

I just don’t see that happening in the next 5-10 years. At the time, he said they felt they might be able to achieve it by the early 2030s.

Now make that into a small comfortable package? Ouch.

I DO believe (and hope) it will be “good enough” for mass adoption before the end of the decade.

I know it'll get better but when I put on the headset and get immersed, all that goes out the window for me. I'm inside a videogame. With quest 2/psvr1 I got taken out of the experience because of the low resolution but for people like me it's already good enough. Quest optimizer is a game changer too. I got batman looking like a mid tier pcvr game.
