Greens Duby Posted November 3, 2014 Greens Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hey Greenies It seems that VR is going to be a big thing in the near future and within the next year or so we will see the first generation of consumer products. Some may know I am a big VR fan and I thought it would be a nice idea to make a topic for people to ask questions and share their experiences! So I guess I will go first and with the most obvious choice for a game near the top of the list. HalfLife2! Visually and the feel, its a totally different experience to looking at it on a monitor. It is awesome! I kinda felt really ill after playing 20 mins though. But for a port this was pretty fantastic and a really nice way to look at such a detailed game, in a more detailed environment.

Jeremiah Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I tried the Oculus Rift DK2 yesterday, it's amazing but the resolution still need big improvements. Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 4, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 4, 2014 Indeed it does! Did you also find that the range in which you can move your head around wasn't enough? I kept going out of bounds when trying to explore objects. Quote Link to comment
Jeremiah Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Really? You can look all the way back, I think it's one of the best features. Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 4, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 4, 2014 I meant with the positional tracker. The range needs to be bigger. >< Quote Link to comment
Jeremiah Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ah right, yes but of course still development phase. We'll see some big things upcoming years though. Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 5, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 5, 2014 I hope so! What demo's did you try out? Quote Link to comment
Jeremiah Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I played Project Cars on it. Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 6, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ooh? Never heard of it. What is it about? Quote Link to comment
SkyBlue Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 how much costs an Oculus Rift on this days? Do i need a good pc for it? I have a laptop with this: AMD Radeon HD 7670MIntel® Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz4 GB RAM Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 6, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 6, 2014 Its more of what games/demo's you are trying to run. You could just about run some basic games on low specs. Its around £300 But honestly unless you really want to develop content for it I would wait for next summers release of CV1. If you can go to a convention and try it out, do it! Quote Link to comment
lame shot Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 imagine bhoppin with it Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 10, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hmm I wonder if I could get css working for it. I mean if hl2 l4d portal work then why not right. Quote Link to comment
SkyBlue Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If you can go to a convention and try it out, do it! Mexico its starting to born in gaming environment, we dont have too many conventions about this stuff, the most are just a lot of consoles connected to play xbox games, cod, guitar hero or dance dance revolution :/ Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 10, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 10, 2014 I see, it does kinda suck then from your point of view. I am sure you will come across one! I mean its going to be the next big thing, that's for sure¬! Otherwise buy one now if you are going to make something or wait until next year for CV1. ^^ Quote Link to comment
Braindawg Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 you are aware that every Source game is now compatible with the Oculus Rift right? Quad_Tube 1 Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 16, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 16, 2014 Ya but games not designed for the rift and are ported will always be inferior. I may try out portal soon and see what its like. Quote Link to comment
AfuSensi Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I need to get me one aswell, very exciting technology, Quote Link to comment
Braindawg Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 the DK1 has very poor support for SteamVR which is very saddening, I'll probably just get the CV1 when it comes out Quad_Tube 1 Quote Link to comment
Greens Duby Posted November 17, 2014 Author Greens Share Posted November 17, 2014 I do wonder what the dk1 is like. Then again I want to try cv1 more! xD My VR sickness is pretty much gone now so working with UE4 for long periods of time is pretty good. ^^ Quad_Tube 1 Quote Link to comment
