Is VR officially dead? Will PS2 VR be enough to save it?

disgusting

Looks like baby spiders to me

VR is perfect for racing and flight sims.

why would I play either of those.

I've got to reinstall my vr games to check which ones still work and which ones have Big Boss mode activated.

I think its spiders as well. Ive heard of peoples headsets being infested by spiders during cold months because of how warm they get.

It is clearly a spider infestation you moron. A female spider has gone into the cracks to lay her egg sack and they have hatched and that is it.

I have spiders in the same room as my headsets although they are in their terrariums, doubt they'd get out from there.

Practice for track days in your Miata

They have vr for the ps2?

Everyone that bought the f*cebook headset should kill themselves. They killed the most promising development in gaming since the DDR pad.

300 usd for a solid entry level PCVR headset is hard to pass up on. Just use a dummy facebook account with none of your real info to set it up retard.

Isn't meta hemorrhaging money because nobody who bought the quest is actually using their store? The current scene of vr games is dogshit because of snapdragon, but I'm hopeful for what PSVR2 will bring, the last one spawned a ton of cool games (even if they were fucking exclusive)

the facebook headset is nessecary to push VR to the general public
without normiezation VR is just going to remain some niche category that gets meh games

either way at the end of this month you wont need a fb account for a quest 2 anymore

VR is #1 tranny tech

And now every game is going to be targeted at quest users. Forget having graphics that a quest can't handle on its own.

how do you even fix that?

Unironically this.
Imagine if Epic was in a position to try and get up to the shit they're trying now, and you'll see why VR fucking died.
I can't even play Minecraft in VR because microsoft expired my login token AND refuses to renew it since I won't transfer my account and agree to the new EULA/TOS

But VR2 is coming out. Apparently VR1 was not good enough.

Put it in a large Ziploc bag and leave it in a freezer or something. Maybe take it outside and blow it out with an air hose.

I have five facebook accounts and they're all fake. Why spread lies?

Mod list? Please?

VR never died, because its never been at a state you could call alive in the first place. We're still ages away from good tech. The headset I bought in 2018 is still good enough that I can't justify the cost of a newer headset to myself. I just want to see hardware move up in leaps and bounds, I'd easily drop 1k on a headset if it doesn't suck like the Index does, and Facebook has all the good tech at a lower price with the monkey paw of killing Oculus accounts. It doesn't help that the average VR user is someone you shouldn't associate with in person or online.
I am going to start using my headset more, but not for the limited VR exclusive library or dumpster fires like VRChat. I got a racing wheel so I'm gonna start playing sim racers until I've saved up more and can comfortably buy and maintain a nice sports car for myself.

Fumigate the room. You may have to take it apart to remove the corpses.

quit fucking lying on the internet

Just wipe it off. It should be fine, the heat from the headset should kill off anything remaining in it.

ok first off the quest 2 now only requires a meta account and not a Facebook account and secondly everyone knows the quest 2 is only good as a standalone for resident evil 4 VR and everything else is better played on PCVR though the link cable
at least until resident evil 4 VR comes out for PC

ok tard

is this game good to be fit?
how to custom model?

VR has sold enough units total to be considered a viable mainstream console. The development just isn't there for big (mainstream) devs because VR by it's nature is much harder to monetize than (optioanlly F2P) season-pass microtransaction shitfest titles or low-effort gachashit.

Do you need a very good computer for it?

No its not. Current gen console VR from sony or microsoft would do the job better. I like the idea of portable VR, but the quest 2 isn't powerful enough for compelling experiences. Also passthrough camera sucks and it can't track outdoors in sunlight, so AR and portability potential is wasted right now. The price also looks like loss leading to scare the competition away and race to a network effect. The one thing nice I have to say about oculus is it shows how to not fuck up the interface, thing is super easy to use.

if your pc is good enough to run the game it should be fine

All I want is a ryona mod for Thrill of the Fight.

there's no mod community.
what you are seeing in this is clip is just an mocap overlay like the other beat saber clips :/

recommended for vanilla skyrim VR is like a gtx 1070. If you use mods to improve the graphics that'll obviously go up

Debatable, even with a capable computer I prefer mobile, easier to set up and I can travel with it and develop everywhere. Same with the Switch/Deck, graphics quality suffers, but who gives a shit about graphics.

some of the funniest shit i've seen in a long time

Graphics in VR is important, you need constant high resolution and fps or it will look like shit and make you sick.

Who the fuck travels with a VR headset? Give me a high-quality wireless solution to use with my Desktop.

Most of the people strapping a screen an inch from their face with the intent of pursuing immersion want graphics. Now that isn't me saying realism is the end goal, but having a consistent world without jarring elements that take you out of the experience seems to be a bit difficult for modern devs when given less powerful hardware, because modern devs are retards who can't design for shit and can't optimize for shit. Yeah, for flatscreen games I don't really care about graphics as much either, but this is a VR thread.

Not true, "graphics" are not important, of course vector graphics don't make the cut, but stand alone VR has reached a good level of graphical quality, textures are crisp and models are smooth, dynamic lighting is present, physics interactions. What sells VR are the systems and how they pull the player into the game.

It will be enough to save it if you can use the PSVR2 on PC as a SteamVR headset, through either official or sufficiently high quality unofficial means

Also with a standalone system you are always going to be battling comfort/ heat issues. I use the Quest 2 with a Vive DAS and Virtual Desktop it's not Ideal but it's the best we currently have.

I really wish they would have kept focusing on the Rift. If Sony was smart they would make PSVR2 compatible with PC.

Visuals are the easiest thing to develop, just set the build texture compression to a lower value and done.

Oculus has engaged in rampant anti-competitive shit starting from the point Facebook acquired them
At the start Valve was happily collaborating with them and Zucc completely fucked them over, Questbabs have no idea how hard VR has been ruined

>things are bad
>is not noticeable

It's 2022, and still the only things worth doing in VR is alyx, phasmo, vrchat and minecrap

Would you be willing to tell me what worthwhile VR games released in 2021, 2022, and 2023? Also what new headsets released in that time period.

What are the problems that have arised? VR getting more support? Better dev tools? An actual solid installbase for devs? The only retards bitching are the vrchat sissies that spam the same crap here all day everyday and Kotaku. Devs are completely happy they can develop VR without risking losing everything in the process.

>The users see it's complete and total garbage, but DEVELOPERS are getting paid

VRchat is pretty diluted these days.

No, retard, not "getting paid", being able to sell on a specialized store, where there's a high chance the game will sell. Aside from that, a standarized platform.

realistically I'm sure zucc would get his VR monopoly kingdom either way.

I know, but this fact doesn't matter to this faggot because he's not arguing in good faith. I'm just gonna stop giving him (You)s.

Until they get powerful enough to run games like Skyrim VR, Half-Life Alyx, etc standalone at reasonable settings without any sort of connection to a desktop then they've hit a plateau. Quest 2 is great hardware for the price, but their store is 90% shovelware so to get the most out of it you have to use the link cable or airlink and stream PC games.

Skyrim runs on the Switch, of course it runs on the Quest 2, just a matter of porting it.

store doesn't matter because how easy it is to pirate every game.

Questbabs are fucking delusional

Skyrim VR uses a lot more resources and would have to run above 720p at 80-90 fps for VR.

This. I want to do weird shit in VR. Freaky VR anime stripclubs populated by AGPs and high res VR porn. But I know Facebook will track every little bit of data they can on it, compiling this massive perverted profile on me that they'll sell to every single scumbag with a few bucks.

Most normaltards aren't going to pirate or use side quest, though.

The thing is incredibly powerful, it can be ported, but it wouldn't be pretty, they would probably need to make new low res textures to accomodate the stereoscopic rendering.

They do the same stuff as you except they bought a different set

The majority of the people buying quests are the same people who bought wiis and played wii sports for five minutes before stuffing it in the closet. Which is proven by the abysmal software sales which is causing meta to bleed money by the way.

Don't kid yourself. VR was always good enough tech. Even in the 90's, overacheivers managed to make headsets deliver a worthwhile experience. VR is niche thing for niche users. It will always have a place in the simulator world where it belongs.

Attached: VFX1.jpg (1024x768, 98.86K)

That sounds exactly like other VR users.

and the same people who talk up Quest as the savior of VR are the same ones who said console gaming would kill PC and mobile gaming would kill everything
They're like the missing link between mouthbreathing retards and midwits and they never learn a fucking thing

That sounds oddly specific, did someone wreck your ass and now you are mad or something?

I've never had sex before, is this really how it works when you're a chad

yeah its how I fucked your mom yesterday

The controls for modded skyrim vr are baffling me

VR was oversold as some sort of gaming revolution, when it's really just a neat peripheral that allows you to play games a different way. It's no different from pilotfags buying sticks to pretend they're really flying, racefags buying wheels and pedals to pretend they're really driving, or fightfags buying decks to pretend they're really good at fighting games. All that shit is expensive and has limited use, same as VR headsets. They're not meant to play every game on all the time, they're just fun to use on occasion.

Curious, you seem to be especially upset by my post
By chance do you feel targeted somehow

I want to get into vr is it still possible?
What should i get?
Do i need to make a facebook and add family and stuff
Will getting banned tell family and co?

I think savior of VR is a bit much but it's definitely helping the industry more than hurting it. Having something the average consumer can afford with decent specs is going to help bring more people into the hobby. It's still niche and the average normie gives 0 shits about meta or vr in general but now it's no longer for rich neckbeards only.

>u mad for making an observation about my post
Huh, anyway, continue bumping the thread with your bitching about it, it's tradition at this point.

No the portal to the VR realm closed last week and isn't scheduled to reopen until the next solstice

no longer possible, you should get a real hobby instead, maybe gardening or something outdoors

>Do i need to make a facebook and add family and stuff
No, they just removed that requirement, you make a Meta account instead

nature is healing

VR porn is still being made, when that dries up you'll know it's really over

I will buy PSVR2 and you can't stop me.

HIGGS, VRIK, and PLANCK are what make the game actually fun in VR. If you know how to mod special edition VR isn't that much different, it just needs different versions of certain mods and any esl files need to be converted to esp or esm.

Don't use wabbajack unless you have a 3080 or better. I have a 3060 and ryzen 5800x and I need to forgo enb and avoid certain mods to maintain stable 90fps at my headsets resolution.

If you can find a Vive for cheap you can play pretty much everything worth playing in VR, since it's the original spec for SteamVR.

Gotta hand it to Facebook, they somehow managed to make everyone but Qtard grannies and the oculus subreddit hate them. In such a polarized time that's impressive.

Attached: 1629751886427.webm (640x720, 2.47M)

Hopefully they'll support it for a while. And if they release PC drivers you'll already have a really nice headset for that option.

>Things like Sidequest feel like they are ALLOWED to exist rather than rights inherent to using a headset you bought
This one is a major one. The idea that they can ban your account because they deemed it fake or for whatever other reason, you lose all your games and everything else, but also get locked out of your fucking hardware you paid for until you call Oculus' help center to remove the account.
If they had been more reliable and trustworthy, they could have set up their own Steam/Uplay/Blizzard, thing but FB/Meta's name brand is worth shit, and no one would give these people money rather than just pirating if you give them no incentive or trust to do so.
Hell, they don't even trust their own userbase.

No they're both shitty at base level, Skyrim just gets more love from modders like the flat version
FO4VR actually got "impossible" mods like an IK body and the shootan gameplay is well suited to VR

Are you trying to say that a Meta account is different and not held to the same standards of being randomly banned that Facebook accounts are?

Population One is fun

i need a resident evil 4 VR Calibur game for PCVR

now if only i could find a viable torrent for fallout 4 VR i can only find an old version that does not work with most mods

I feel like a monkey, a few minutes ago I read VRIK and wondered what it was an acronym for cause I was reading it like brick, but its literally just VR IK.

Spamming political views on facebook is anything but random but yes. VR games aren't being surveilled so it is full of teenagers screaming nigger every second

I think it was okay for just a straight portover, and a lot of the flat version mods just work without having to do anything. You have to jump through so many hoops to get Fallout 4 running acceptably and not looking like a shimmering mess it's not worth it, although things might have changed since I last fucked around with it over a year ago.

>so it is full of teenagers screaming nigger every second
gee I wonder what headset they disproportionately use

I know Skyrim VR got proper Index hands/interaction at some point but did F4VR get it too?
Only issue I see with giving f4vr that though is that it would also need a mod to make doors, containers, objects that spawn from loot lists in those containers etc work like a proper VR game instead of you just pointing to it and pressing the A button.

Quest games don't have crossplay with PC games user.

I mean Skyrim is the same way, the forced TAA gives everyone such a bad impression its like the top troubleshooting question. And then you disable it and the trees shimmer so bad.

No, but the medium is in a rock and a hard spot.

Uptake of the tech is on the increase, but the rate is slower than say...a mass market gaming system. So there's enough incentive for tech companies to continue investing in and improving the technology (like the new Quest that's coming out later this year, and the PS5 headset), but it is still relatively "niche" in revenue returns so the incentive for software developers to invest capital and time is low. Most software devs producing something of worth, small or large, will return a profit. But the profit relative to a mobile/console/PC game is much lower, so big publishers have lesser incentive to build teams and spend millions on software that won't make as much back as those same teams and money elsewhere.

It's why the VR landscape is still largely dominated by experimental third party software, eternally early access games from small teams, and very little in the ways of big budget full game experiences. And why the software output has blips of excitement when something big and original or impressive comes along (see: Alyx), but then quickly dries up. Publishers/devs just don't really want to follow through with the time/money required to make a small return when that time/money is perceived as better spent elsewhere.

Sony's PS5 headset will be the same. The tech looks great (apart from the lack of wireless signal). They'll get a front loaded 12 - 18 months of small and large software. A lot of guided spin-offs (like the Horizon game). And then the rate of software will dry up, including first party, as the uptake of the hardware and revenue generated by the software plateaus.

So yeah. VR isn't dead. It's bigger than it's ever been and will only get bigger. But it's still in decisively niche/enthusiast/gimmick sphere and is not going to have the rate of software output and publisher investment seen elsewhere, not for probably at least another decade.

On that note Unknightly is on sale, I hear it's...serviceable. There's also the VR port of darkmod though it sounds far from ideal, hopefully the dev will get back to it.

well i work from home permanently, and shes been a stay at home mom to wrangle the two we have now if i need to focus on work. she said to me one day 'i miss being pregnant' and i thought house is paid, cars are paid, first two have been a net positive so far so why not roll the dice again.

Apple coming into the game may be big big news. Media drives the normal market. And iPhones are known for their cameras. We're probably only a generation away from the iPhone having an embded 3d 180/360 camera to watch using their vr/xr headsets

your fucking suicide. shine on, crazy diamond. i shit talk you all, but if you can do it, you freakes.

Do yourself a favour. Get Outer Wilds, download the mod manager, install NomaiVR and play the hands down best VR experience on the market.

thanks man i appreciate that, have a good night

The market is stagnant. 'Tech demos' that are rehashes of same tech demos that have been released since 2014 and mobile tier mini games are 90% of games coming out currently. Bone lab looks promising at least. The real innovation in vr is coming from people making vr mods for existing games.

shit, good point

VR is fine and even growing, the problem is HOW it could grow. High end VR has always been niche, and will be until we get to the "VR/AR glasses, powered by your phone" stage so its actually closer than it looks in some regards. The issue is how proprietary or open the system will be, who controls it, and how it is to be monetized.

As usual, Valve is leading the charge for open VR gaming opposed to the other shit, with all the open source SteamVR/OpenVR APIs and whatnot. The Valve Index is still the best all around HMD and platform with the best tech (putting aside niche $1000+ HMDs or whatnot that basically increase resolution and not too much else, or fall short of experience vs paper specs - Pimax is a good example here). On the other side is the Oculus Quest 2 which between Facebook selling it ultra cheap and its wireless "basically powered by a proprietary phone OS locked down bullshit" makes it "accessible" but ignores a lot of issues and is setting up a worse future because of their policies and monetization.

Right now we're most limited by other elements of VR/AR technology, notably stuff like movement. While there's a fairly impressive amount of fuckery you can do with just a couple square meters of play room, the immersion and playability factor is tons different if we are to get beyond the "teleporting and shooting galleries". For this we need advances in immersive technologies including omni-directional treadmills - look at something like the KAT Walk C2+ for a promising at least somewhat affordable next step kat-vr.com/products/kat-walk-c2 - the plus version even lets you sit/stand. However, it depends on its own drivers which kind of intercede as an input style; one reason I didn't buy is because of lack of Linux compatibility. Valve's our best effort to standardize and open some of this stuff, but VR has a potentially great future - if it doesnt get locked down and shortsighted by morons.

and before

What the fuck? Source?

Why would you want to join the meta? Continue using it offline.

if you play it on anything but oculus or vive the default controls suck ass and need to be rebinded

Corporatizing at all killed it. VR is to escape the real world, not fall into one controlled by fucking blackrock

Don't they just have a Deck?
Or are there actual Valve Deckards out there in devs hands right now?

What is stopping you from building your own VR set? To create your own community? You have this place but most users are huge faggots that can't get along with the kids that like other thing. Are these corporations stopping you? Fucking do something.

why not just your own world instead, sheesh

I my own word.

My VR sickness came back because I took too long of a break from VR

Are you forgetting about Playstation or something because PS VR 2 will be the best VR headset that offers the best value because it only requires a 500 dollar console to play high quality VR games.

I didn't know it could do that
Did the sense of immersion and disassociation come back too?

Oh boy I can't wait to see what west coast Sony has dreamed up for us
Maybe twerking niggresses in full immersive VR

Felt a bit more immersive but went back to normal fairly quickly

>Continue using it offline
You still have to merge your Oculus account with it to do so.

>and its wireless "basically powered by a proprietary phone OS locked down bullshit" makes it "accessible" but ignores a lot of issues and is setting up a worse future because of their policies and monetization.

I don't get how all this matters if you can literally play any VR games on PC. A majority of PCVR users uses a Quest headset. You can completely ignore the locked down OS shit and just play exclusively steamVR.

Is VR cooming really all its made out to be?
It feels like a real rabbit hole. I think I could become one of those weirdos that spend hours standing in front of a mirror that Any Forums talks about

I don't think it was facebook, or platforms changing hands, or any other dumb shit that is strangling VR, it's motion sickness babies.

We could have had more games like overload, boneworks, vtol vr, jet island etc if only you fucking people didn't get sick when pixels rush past you on the screen, I do not understand.

HL:Alyx could have been a full body simulation where you sprint over rooftops manipulating massive physics objects and being thrown all over the place in combine vehicles. VR games should be extreme and weird, but they can't be because people get sick when nothing is happening to them?

>I think I could become one of those weirdos that spend hours standing in front of a mirror that Any Forums talks about
Do you feel like this would improve your life? I think its fun for sane autogynophiles who know where to draw the line but if you turn into a VRChat slut you should be executed preemptively

the fact that there's been zero improvement over Alyx and the Index in a quarter of a decade tells you everything you need to know.

Yeah but we have 2000% squeaker population and mobile-tier shovelware so obviously we're flying high
Just wait for Meta, nobody quite knows what it is or why it should exist but it will surely save VR

>Do you feel like this would improve your life?
Not at all but I still want to do it. I sure am glad these things cost too much for me to justify purchasing.

Meta's sole existence is to normalize weird reptile faces so the zuck stops getting questioned about his every time he does an interview.

Valve has a huge team of people that artistically focus onto something, that is why Alyx hasn't been surpassed in terms of polish, the gameplay is way too forgiving and Valve shied away from many systems, you can see the remnants of melee weapons, physics interactions with enemies, dynamic chases, that makes it less appealing than it is.

I think people stand with their feet even with their shoulders when they should be default standing with a leg forward like you're bracing to move

>you’ll need to create a Meta account and Meta Horizon profile to continue using your Meta VR device.

Yes, online. Use it offline.

nigga please, some of the most popular VR games have fuckall for comfort options and full smooth movement only and sickfags are treated like the babies they are
Also you're fucking retarded if you think Alyx was going to be anything but catering to the lowest denominator, Valve playtesters are a known quantity and theyve been ruining games longer than you've been alive

Not sure what currency or location that is, but that's nowhere near what it costs normally in the US. On Steam direct its $999 for the whole kit (HMD, + knuckles, + 2x lighthouses) and that's about MSRP - I've seen it go for lower on sale at times on other stores etc.

gaben... show me your deckard...

Jesus, it's practically 3 years old and it's still a thousand dollars?

Can you play the VR version of Resident Evil 4 on PC? No, because Oculus is pushing for their exclusive platform bullshit.

They have the money and installed base to get enough people to "just use the lock down OS" because its there. The fact that some people use it with SteamVR and a cable connector is good I guess, but the problem is that the platform is normalizing proprietary bullshit and that is not what VR needs, especially with one of the massive FAGMAN level amounts of investment. There's absolutely nothing stopping Oculus from saying that certain apps or features would only be on Oculus either direct on native hardware, or require the Oculus PC application etc... and they can say its a "security" thing that you need to be attached to a Meta account . Sure, there may be a few who are willing to hack shit to just work with SteamVR, but if it meant losing access to something (think the equivalent of an Android phone failing security checks if you rooted, installed a custom ROM, unlocked bootloader to do so etc... and so certain apps wont work anymore unless you go back to stock )or other cumbersome shit fewer will do so

>linux with vr
you have my attention. Don't miss this chance brother.

The funniest thing is they aren't even fucking using real good vr, it's just fucking stereoscopy phone lenses

Nigga I have like 6 facebook accounts just for shitposting

I was under the impression they weren't actually seeing anything and just pretending to have vr sex.

Thumbstick sucks for immersion.
It's awkward as fuck to both interact with an item with your hands while using the thumbstick to move at the same time. No two-handed weaponry, no catching a ball with both hands, and so on.
Thumbstick is far less than ideal for VR. It plain sucks.
