Can anyone confirm if we can use keyboard (for locomotion) + mouse in Serious Sam VR ?

Could be ordered from anywhere at the Chinese e-shop and shipped worldwide IIRC.
I rather doubt that. It supports free movement, but it's still using tracked controllers to wield the guns. If they developed it with that sort of config in mind as an option, the input area would include more than "Tracked Motion Controllers".

You control your guns independently of each other, so that wouldn't make much sense the way the game is set up right now.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Ohh man, Thumper, Serious Sam, Eagle Flight etc in these few days?

As others have said I don't think it's an option but I'll take a look when I try it out after lunch, if anyone has anything else they want me to check for them just let me know and I'll be happy to take a look.

Thanks !
Don't forget Vertigo
Also, cross-posting here. My short video of me playing Lethal VR

Looking at other reviws and videos, it's shocking how many folk don't rapid fire throw the knives :-D
Sorry for the heavy breathing. I should have shut the mic off.
Put the 480 to test and everything I tested works well.
Also pretty impressed by Arizona Sunshine so far. It seems a bit thin, but a really good experience so far. Shooting is satisfying and minus the weird animation now and then, the presentation is also great. Love searching cars for stuff, lol.

It didn't work :/ but the game is really good. It would be great if they added the ability to adjust the trackpad movement speed as the default speed is a bit too fast for me.
I'm on a 1080.
Sorry I can't speak for the 980ti, but the game does seem pretty simple. The 1080 handled 2.0 easily so it's worth a shot.

Do any of you guys have your Vives set up in a room with a lot of windows/blinds?
I'm going to more or less dedicate a room to my VR/game stuff, but its a room with windows on every wall on the second story. Wondering if I'll need to take any special precautions.
The windows do have wooden blinds, but they're painted white and have spots and can get so bright its hard to look at them during the mid-afternoon.
Another thing I was wondering about was the wooden blinds themselves, regardless of lighting. They're prone to swaying slightly if a window is open behind them, etc.. I could see that interfering with the lighthouses projections.
I'm completely into the idea of making slight modifications to the space to get the most ideal experience. Are these things that I should worry about?

I have it set up in a room with many blinds and I haven't had any notable issues with tracking. Good luck with your setup!
My first setup was in a room with massive amount of sunlight pouring and a wall plastered with framed glass pictures. No issues.
You should be fine. Just make sure the lighthouses are anchored properly

I want to see the Giant Bomb quick look of this!
? It's an adult VR game, why so surprised?
Words can't describe how surreal this whole thing looks

Played Serious Sam TFE briefly last night, and it doesn't appear Croteam thought much about water. You can teleport into the pool on the first level, but you can't teleport out, or even really move within it properly. Jumping is near useless other than to catch your breath. Probably works with free movement, but I wasn't testing that.
This is a bug introduced in the day 1 patch that should be fixed in today's day 2 patch.

And looks like Talos Principle is coming with full VR support !

How high can you people downsample Google Earth VR?
Everytime I go above 1.3 something must happen that makes the entire application unusuable, nothing loads in accordingly, only flat planes with extremely low res textures on them.
I assume this to be a specific limitation or problem with the software?

Ah, well that's that then. Gave me an excuse to catch up with the recent H3VR additions anyhow. Silliness with the MTs-255:
After playing with H3VR, guns in other games seem so lacking on the customization side of things. Want a scope on that? Done. Want a scope and iron sights. You've got it. Want to go crazy with a scope, reflex sight, iron sights, laser, flashlight and a suppressor? The world is your oyster. None of this stuff would make a lick of difference in traditional games, but in VR it's huge. Gun modularity in VR is going to have to become a standard thing.
I think I used it at 1.5 this morning with no issue, on a 980ti.
I've been using a set of these since launch, and they work really well.

They go all the way up to like 9ft or something. The only downside is depending on your flooring, if someone steps close to them they may wobble a bit. Thankfully mine are on concrete so don't move at all.
I mainly went with tripods because I knew I was going to be taking the Vive over to a friends house at times and wanted something quasi-portable.

Really? Surprises me... wonder what's off in my set-up, I have a very VERY lame internetconnection but I can't imagine that's the reason why the thing falls apart when raising the multiplier. I have to test that some more.
This trash is what I live for.

Damn, hope this is out by Friday as I'm having a VR party and this looks fun to play.
Also I should probably get Blarp!

Did anyone pick up the new Serious Sam? How is it?
I grabbed Eagle Flight yesterday. I really like the controls. I didn't realize that most of it is handled by just moving your head. Works well. The right and left triggers on the controller just modify your speed.
I feel like this is one of those games I can show to my non-gamer friends and they'll have fun. Just really easy and intuitive to get into.

Granted I was already a big fan of the original, but Serious Sam FE is some of the most fun I've had in VR.
We have a thread about it here with some impressions.
Oh lawwdd, VR is getting games left and right. Makes it harder to wait for that gen 2.
Vermintide is a lot of fun on its own, especially with friends.

Absolutely -- I hope that all games end up having customization options like that. I wanna get wild with that shit.
I would love if in AoF, you could go into an "armory" and set up how you want each weapon equipped, and then save those for spawning in matches.

Heads up to anyone who hasn't bought Superhot because they're worried about Oculus breaking revive in the future--the game is DRM free and will work even if you uninstall Oculus Home, provided you've copied the Oculus Runtime DLL's into the same directory as the game executable. You can backup that copy to a safe place, and the game is guaranteed to work forever.

I tried ripcoil on Revive and everything seemed to work fine but when I went to do multiplayer it gave me an oculus cannot connect error in the game. Is this because the game server is down in vernal or is this Revive specific?
