As someone who wears glasses and runs into a little bit of trouble with the PSVR (light bleed from underneath) how comfortable is a rift in that regard?

Round small frames are okay, square frames are a pain. I cant wear the Rift for longer than 15-20 minutes with my glasses, because the rift pushes the frame onto my face. I can loosen the straps, but you loose clarity/get a smaller FOV like that and it feels too loose.

You're missing the very best VR game released so far - Superhot VR.

 

[Imur]

You're missing the very best VR game released so far - Superhot VR.

Thats because I already own and finished the normal Game. It's the same game "just" in VR right? It's kinda expensive and only 20% discount if you own the original.

I have only played a few titles but I would recommend the following:

- Bigscreen
- Rec Room
- Landfall (co-op campaign is good)
- TITAN SLAYER if you like Arcade rail-shooters with a VR twist
- DeoVR
- Elite Dangerous

I forgot about Landfall, thank you. I already have Deo and Bigscreen. Titan Slayer could be fun, too

 

[artsi]

Is there a better music game than Audioshield yet? I didn't like it with Vive as the beats felt they didn't really match the music.

I'd like something more precise like Osu, Stepmania etc.

It's a different campaign. Kinda short, but totally worth it.

Heard good things about Airtone and I've played a lot of Soundboxing (was recently hit with an update bug/saving, hope that gets patched soon) which has user created beatmaps that are hit and miss, mostly they are hit tho.

(I still prefer Audioshield even with the algorithm created beat maps, have played that over 100 hours already, it can be more of a dance/fitness game than a beat matching game)

 

[MazeHaze]

My motherboard is an MSI z97 PC mate, will this work with occulus as far as USB goes?

 

[Dave_6]

Finally ordered one from Best Buy; going to pick it up on my lunch break.

 

[Super Rookie]

Heard good things about Airtone.

Airtone is the best rhythm game, closest thing to Samba De Amigo in VR, as long as you enjoy J-Pop

Otherwise Soundboxing is fantastic too.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I grabbed the extra USB 3.0 card. Big motherboard, and I'm using pretty much all my USB already including like an 8 port hub for 2.0 stuff. I *think* I'm ok with the HDMI. I'm using a displayport for my main monitor on my GTX 1080. Then I have a DVI on there as well, and another DVI going to another video card that is just there to drive the third monitor. I'll figure it out when it all gets here next week. My computer might be due for a teardown/cleaning/rebuild anyway.

Planning to hit up Elite in VR first. I have played a ton of it with head tracking so I'm interested to see how much it adds to the experience. And then probably that robot shooting game that everyone is raving about because of the Touch controllers.

Oculus literally JUST had a sale on almost all of those games.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

My motherboard is an MSI z97 PC mate, will this work with occulus as far as USB goes?

If you are looking to use room scale you will need one hdmi and 1 3.0 usb for the headset, two 3.0 usb for two of the sensors, and then 1 2.0 usb for the third sensor.

If you are looking just for 360 tracking you will need one less usb.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Oculus literally JUST had a sale on almost all of those games.

Also Steam also has it and if you already have Superhot e.g. you get a bigger discount on SuperhotVR.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

I'm reading a bit about the weird exclusivity situation between the vive and rift. Generally speaking, I can get vive games to work on the rift?

I really, really want Doom FVR and apparently it's vive exclusive

edit: can someone link me to a good 2-sensor roomscale setup? is that even a thing?

You need 3 sensors for roomscale. 2 only tracks 360. most vive games on steam works on the rift with touch.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

At the end, is it comfortable for the glasses users ?

It's not that great to be honest.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

I was happy with just my PSVR. Why did this have to happen...

Help me be strong, guys.

Give in to the VR world. I have both and enjoy both of them. At this price it's really a no brainer. You get a headset, two sensors, an xbox one controller with wireless adapter, two touch controllers and like over 10 games for free for $399. I wish i waited for this but still happy with my set.

 

[MessieurCouchon]

For those in europe is Amazon Uk's 399GBP the best current deal? The official website doesn't ship to Portugal so it seems I must resort to other sellers.

I would pass on the climb. That's too much for something too one note. Personally rockband vr as well. That's 100 euros saved. I recommend space pirate trainer, job simulator, accounting and rick and morty vr if you like the show.

Check out GB's vrodeo where they showcase a lot of these vr games.

I'd pass on Space Pirate Trainer. It doesn't do anything that you can't get from the free Bullet Train, or Robo Recall.

I got it @ $15, and felt soooooooo ripped off.

(But...you could always get it and then ask for a steam refund if you don't like it.)

i'll let you know tonight if no one answers you. just picked mine up last night from BestBuy...I gotta admit, this VR is crazy!!! i'm running on an i7 6700k with a gtx 1080 and so far so good. i played Lucky's Tale and Robo Recall so far. definitely worth the money!!

 

[shawnbuddy]

Ah that's probably why, I haven't played a game where I have to jump yet.

I'm tall enough and my ceiling is low enough that I have on multiple occasions accidentally stuck my hand into the running ceiling fan when changing my shirt in the bedroom. No jumping for me.

It's also crossplatform play with Vive and PSVR so there should be healthy multiplayer userbase.

If you can handle movement - Sairento. Honestly I could add like a dozen games to that list for various genres, but I'll leave it at that one.

 

[UrbanRats]

Kinda bummed that i bought Dead Secret on GearVR, but i have to rebuy it on Oculus, if i want to play it there. :\

 

[jrcbandit]

So is Apollo 11 experience worth it, both of my parents worked at NASA during the actual mission so I wanted to get it so they could play it.

Going to limit myself to just a few games initially. Definitely getting Superhot VR and I already bought a semi replacement for Rush of Blood, Ghost Town Mine Ride and Shooting Gallery. My final game (until some sort of sale) will be something from Oculus store, either Chronos or A Mage's Tale. Which RPG is better?

I also have a cheap Thrustmaster HOTAS collecting dust in a closet, is it time to get it out for Eve Valkyrie? Got that free with BB deal.

 

[vanfanel1car]

It's more of a cinematic experience than a game but it looks perfect for your parents. It's a must try for anyone interested in NASA/space. There's also Mission:ISS which is free and right up their alley but you may need a hardened stomach to make it through that without feeling sick. But definitely get Apollo 11.

 

[Auto-Reply]

...

I can't think of a better reason to get this game than in your case... unless your parents hated their job lol

Iirc one run of the "game" is about 45 minutes and you can decide to just sit back and watch, or actually do some of the things in the game like rotating/flying the orbiter and lander... I think it's better to just let them play/watch it passively than to give them controls because it can ruin the first impression a bit if they don't get it done right for the first time.

 

[Effect]

How does the eve valkyrie code come? Something you have to remove to reveal the code? Wondering if there will be an issue returning to Best Buy if I decide to order this before the sale ends. I've always wanted to try this out and $400 is a more do able price then the normal.

Also how does VR look for full feature games? I know Fallout and Skyrim are getting VR ports. I have Elite Dangerous I can try this on. Other bigger games?

Thanks. I just ordered it from Best Buy. Should be here Saturday as it wasn't for pick up at my local store. So guessing it will be emailed to me then if it's printed on the reciept. If I have to unfortunately eat the cost of game if it gets returned then oh well. Been wanting to try this out for a long time now. $399 down from the normal $599 is to hard to pass up and I can use it with some existing stuff I think. Curious if the experience will make me keep it.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

So what is the best way to mount the sensors on top of a monitor?

I've been looking around for a monitor mount that has the right threading but can't find anything.

I have two ways of mounting them that I can think of.

One is on top of the monitor (similar to how a webcam or TrackIR mounts. Just a bracket that clips over the top of the monitor and has a piece that rests against the bottom with gravity holding it on.

The other is with some sort of adhesive mount. I'd rather avoid this if I can.

The other option I have is mount them off the monitor rails on my Erogotech monitor stand but I can't think of a good way to do that. Ergotech doesn't sell any of the mounting clips just by themselves.

I picked mine up at my store earlier this week and they still emailed me the code for Eve.

Edit: I just went back and looked and they emailed it to me right after I ordered which was a full day before I picked it up.

I am not sure. I would love to play Subnautica too, but I have problems with motion Sickness even in some normal shooters. I am afraid that will be a problem.

btw: Doesnt the Oculus Store have a wishlist?
