Right now there's Technolust.
Project Cars for %50, but everyone should already own that. ;-)
Go buy cheap
er
Not much that I hadn't already bought, but might tip me over into trying out some of the edge cases.
House of the dying sun
Holoball
Flight control (maybe)
Universe sandbox (maybe)
Crystal rift (maybe)
Any impressions on my maybes?
Also a bunch of games on sale on the oculus store - Chronos and blaze rush are great
Edit: perfect angle zen edition looks interesting and is cheap. Anyone tried it?
I like House of the Dying Sun, solid for Early Access. I hope they turn it into something truly exceptional.
It's arcadey space dogfighting for those not in the know.
Flight Control? you mean Final Approach? Also considering that, seems to have gotten positive reviews.
Also considering Universe Sandbox 2, but it's a bit steep for something I'm going to play around with for like an hour max.
Was considering Crystal Rift, 'till I read up on it a bit more and checked a few more videos, and it didn't really appeal that much.
Also on my consideration list:
Hover Junkers
Cyberpong VR
The Gallery
Vanishing Realms
The Solus Project
Any input on those?

Vanishing Realms is one of the more fully featured VR games I've player, but it looks like complete ass (even by VR standards) and the melee combat is a bit simplistic.
Ordered a Vive today and this was one of the games I was thinking of buying. Is it worth playing on a 980? :/
Vanishing realms is great.
only if you meet their space requirements.
Even then I really dislike that it's teleportation only. Makes the combat feel really dull unless you have a really big room.
Space requirement isn't any different from most other games. If you have a lot of space you can walk around, otherwise you teleport - like pretty much all games. I quite like that you can only teleport a short distance. The combat isn't great but it still got me pretty well towards the end of the first story chapter

do you prefer multiplayer shooters with lots of replayability or single player dungeon crawl thats only a couple hours tho?
they're both premium products

if you had to pick... 2 of these, which 2 would you get and why?
pretend you like all games and don't have a preference
battle dome is pretty popular too isn't it?

Ended up getting vanishing realms it looks like a more full featured game
Vanishing Realms and Hover Junkers both look like pretty awesome games.

House of the dying sun is some good seated VR shit.
Cloudlands minigolf is also very fun. Especially in multiplayer when I win by a hefty margin.
Battle dome is eeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxtremely alpha but the game is already more fun to me than hover junkers. I would buy it over HJ in a second.
After that I would get Holoball. vanishing realms is great from what I've played but people say it's short and I assume it will be fleshed out more in the future.

i'm super against holoball as it is the game that breaks controllers/walls/tvs/ceiling fans/lamps the most
and by most I mean it's the only game I see where people do this

Maybe this is a good platformer for the Vive?
Any impressions?

No Vive support yet
It's here: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/wiki/Compatibility-list - but I don't know if Steam version of technolust is compatible with ReVive.

Interesting... a new version of Revive was just released. CrossVR is saying that Oculus has just removed the headset check from their DRM. Hopefully that is true. That is at least a step in a positive direction for them. It also means Revive doesn't have to fully bypass their DRM.

Do you think it's worth the 12€ for the Vive?

Would require me to install Oculus home and the Oculus SDK to get it working. Not sure I want that software on my computer as it is right now.

That would be a good thing for them to do. Hopefully they keep it this way.
They've updated the game to allow the player to limit the boundaries where the ball can travel on return. This way you're not swinging so far out to get a hit

On the bright side, most of the VR games take up barely any space.

Yeah outside of a few games they're all about 500 mb, but all of my standard reality games are 10+ gigs.
And they have a sale on.. Is there a list of which games don't work because of denuvo? Or would even those games work? Mainly thinking about edge of nowhere as I already have chronos and blaze rush which work fine

So then I don't need to do any weird bullshit with having windows firewall block the application or unplug my computer or anything if I want to use revive again?
will probably reinstall, then.

Woo! Let us know what you think of Waterbears VR!*
*full disclosure, the title was created by my studio, Schell Games.
Did you guys recently update the space requirements for this? I had previously disregarded it because I'm pretty sure it used to say 3m x 3m, but now it's 2.3m x 2m, which I can actually do. That's a hell of a drop.
Anyone else tried this game at the lower end of the space requirements? I'm around 2.5m x 2.7m.
By the way - I love the fact that this game has a Steam tag of 'Psychological Horror'!

The CrossVR guy on Reddit just mentioned he got confirmation Edge of Nowhere works though it has some graphical glitches. Kind of want to wait for some other guinea pigs to test it out first though.
Already had some earlier in the thread. I'd say that it's not a very good VR implementation. The world scrolls with the character's movement at a sub-90 fps.
It's different because if you're under the space requirement there are going to be many times where the game will pause because you cant reach something due to it being outside the Chaperone bounds.(This is even with teleportation to get you close to the object) I pretty much stopped playing the game because of this.
And then you have the fact that the combat is pretty terrible if you dont have a big space to move around in.(Even then the combat is pretty bad because enemies are extremely static) I wouldnt recommend Vanishing Realms to anyone that is under the space requirements.

Indeed we did. We were being super cautious when we originally decided on the space requirements, but since then, we've reevaluated the experience and found it to be completely playable in a smaller space.
We also all had a good chuckle at the tagging.
Not just yet, but if it becomes super popular, who knows.

Sweet - thanks. I'll check it out while it's on sale then.
It's a great game and works really well with room scale, but you *really* need to change your system of forcing people to stand on a predefined spot. It unnecessarily increases the minimum space required. Steam says it needs I think 3m X 2m, but I managed with 2x2, although by world 3 I was squashing my face into a wall to register in the correct spot to go to the next level
Yeah, I agree with all of this. I know it isn't trivial, especially with the level of polish that Waterbears has, but it'd be really convenient to have an optional teleportation feature. I'm lucky to have the space, but some of my Vive-owning friends don't.

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience in some instances. The portal system was created to give the player the best view of a puzzle upon load. In addition, we wanted to return the player to a baseline position to avoid the surprisingly unpleasant experience of appearing in a new puzzle with a pipe impaled in your stomach.
I sincerely hope the rest of your experience was enjoyable.

Uhhh....supposedly Oculus removed the DRM block for Revive? O.O

Luckily I have the space to play (and really enjoy it!), but I think a teleport option would go a long way. You could have the player teleport to the same spot in order to exit too.
yup, here's hoping that is here to stay, or even more optimistically, baby steps toward real Vive support for the Oculus store.
