Guest Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Yeah see id dig that but would prefer it in an augmented reality format where you could turn up and down the degree of visual hallucination and potentially hook it up to some kind of deepmind tech where you could feed it image banks to incorporate into the hallucination yeah even better idea. just like a video filter on top of reality and you can select your doseage even just a winamp visualiser through vr would be tight. you know what would be really sick, a fractal music visualizer but it tracks your gaze and it zooms in to the fractal at the spot you're looking at it’s solved, it’s called drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I have no explanation why, but I bought an Oculus Quest. Data talked about a space exploration app at one point. No narrative, no nothing. Just him floating around in space looking at planets. Does anyone know what app this might have been? Or can anyone recommend other similar apps?

ambermonk Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I've had my Valve Index for about three weeks now. Works exceptionally well with HL: Alyx (go figure) and I used it once with No Man's Sky VR. Starship controls are awkward AF tho. And I'm too much of a chicken to try it with Subnautica. Finna try Boneworks soon too, but otherwise there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of VR-specific titles on the market right now. Although I'm sure more are planned and/or in development as we speak.

luke viia Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 the ship controls in NMS get way easier as you get used to them. I could barely fly in a straight line at first, now I'm out here bobbin through asteroids & ghostin bogeys There are other good games (try Vox Machinae if you like mechs, but don't expect a campaign)...just gotta look for em. Lots of the better ones are oculus exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hijexx Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Doesn't really seem enjoyable to me. When I play games I just want to veg out. Can't imagine finding strapping goggles on my head, holding controllers, and flailing around as something I'd want to relax with. Also seems like the industy standard consumer grade headset is Oculus which is owned by Facebook and they are going to force you to use Facebook to use the headset. No thanks.

Yeah Oculus kinda shot themselves in the foot with that move. Good thing I don't have to worry about that with my Valve Index. VR is pretty damn immersive, but if you're more of a casual gamer and just do it to unwind that's completely understandable. TBH I mainly got into it because I wanted to play Half Life: Alyx, which in itself is quite good. Boneworks is next on my VR list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijexx Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Alyx looks amazing. Still holding out hope for Half Life 3 but for all practical purposes it seems like that's what Alyx is. Maybe they'll release a regular game version of Alyx at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After playing thru HL: Alyx, ...not to reveal any spoilers, but an official HL3 is still a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
