Corrected December Steam Hardware Survey Shows Large Oculus Rift S Growth

At the start of this month, we reported that the December Steam Hardware Survey seemed to be anomalous. Four weeks later, Valve has now corrected the data. In the previous version of the data, the usage of most VR headsets had significantly decreased, which we recognized as a probable anomaly.

running SteamVR, and I really want to completely disable the chaperone system (don't want to see the floor either). I downloaded the Advanced Settings, but they seem to be ignored when I try to zero out the visibility/etc. Also tried editing the chaperone config file, but this still doesn't work. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[Alexios]

Sorry, dunno, I have Oculus and its boundaries take precedence over Steam chaperones even in SteamVR games and can be turned off (but I really don't advice that).

Is it just me or does this look way better than the initial release?
(Anyone know if you can disable the body that just got in the way at initial release?)

• Changed obsolete Neck Length to Neck Offset in options.It changes how much your body is moved down or up from camera. Default to 0 (personally prefer -5)

So, maybe?

Someone updated the not-shit-mod?! \o/

For some reason, Moss on the Oculus store appeared to be free for me, even though visiting the store page online doesn't show it as free and I see no announcement regarding this whatsoever on oculus/dev twitter/blog. Check your Oculus apps and see folks, it's a cool little game worth having.

Edit: so it was a store mistake, it was only meant to be on discount as it showed on the webpage. I hope Oculus compensates them for this error (although it may have been a mistake on their part rather than on Oculus, I dunno, but it showed discounted online) because the game is worth buying.

[HermitSperg691]

I decided to look into VR and I haven't found it worth buying yet.

Cons:

Picture quality is still bad and there's still the issue of the screen door effect.

There are some if not most VR games on PC that don't allow the use of controllers or mouse and keyboard where I'd rather use them.(ex. Skyrim VR). The PS4 version does but why not PC?

This is how I'd rather see VR used in certain games:




Pros:

It's still somewhat immersive despite the poor picture quality. I can easily see it being used really good in tactical shooters like Squad and ArmA 3 if they had official support and still allowed me to use my mouse and keyboard.

-----

Right now I'd rather have a 3 way monitor setup with TrackIR

 

[Alexios]

Did you look at a lot of 2015 Oculus pre-release dev kit hardware videos with hackjobs to support this or that not-made-for-VR game during your time taken to "look into" VR? Like that one you embedded in your post? I do hope not, it doesn't really represent the state of VR as it stands, even for non-VR games.

VorpX allows you to play loads of non-VR games in VR with just headtracking if that's your thing so you basically already have your ideal form of VR right there. As for picture quality you can get higher res/fov sets like Index, Pimax, XTAL and naturally every new year brings higher resolution models to market.

However, thankfully most VR developers are going all in with hand tracking and offer unparalleled immersing experiences with next level gameplay, not relegate VR to being Track IR v2. If there ever is an actual ARMA VR it would be so disappointing to not see it incorporate elements of Onward & VTOL VR


After all, cockpit games like DCS and DiRT Rally and Elite Dangerous and recent IL-2 Sturmovik games and their expansions support VR but do it in that same barebones vorpX style manner which, fitting as it is for cockpits, is barely talked about compared to all in with tracking games like Saints & Sinners.

Valve index looks amazing and I haven't noticed the screen door effect at all compared to the Vive.

Because PC has motion controls that actually work? Actually throwing a fireball is a lot more fun than pressing a button. Throwing two fireballs at two different targets is even more fun and apparently not possible with a controller. (Referencing Up is not Down's review here, as I haven't gotten to Skyrim VR yet )

I never said it wasn't, I only called it shit.

 

[Alexios]

He said not possible with a controller, not PSVR. Move tracking is still sub par and lacks convenional inputs like analog sticks requiring wonky work arounds for those functions for games that even attempt to utilize two of those for dual hand tracking (and aren't almost on rails like Blood & Truth).

Why the fuck would I want to stand up and play video games?

Valve index looks amazing and I haven't noticed the screen door effect at all compared to the Vive.

If I payed $1000 I'd say the same thing.

The primaX 8k VR headset is 4k resolution in both screens and it stills comes nowhere near the quality of a of a regular monitor.

VR is "somewhat immersive"? I've never had a anyone say that of the people that I've demoed it too. It's the absolute pinnacle of immersion in games. The 3 screen setup doesn't even hold a candle in immersion, pro race car drivers will tell you that in a heartbeat. It's not even close.

At least Gorn won't put you to sleep like FS will...

FS is more like a job to me because I am in charge of the upkeep of my friend's PC and simulators, (who is the FS maniac but does not know anything about computers) so I have to keep up with the everchanging world of flight simulators since it's a nice source of extra income.

Over time I've grown interested in the stuff on a casual level. It does help a bit that I liked Pilotwings on SNES, N64 and Ultrawings on PSVR. Or maybe I've always had the bug and it was just reawakened?

Seriously though, thanks again!
