>>1256381 >"omg so you got to use the character creater in real life" holy fuck that video. what the everloving fuck

>>1272723 My problem with pro controllers is that there's no aftermarket knuckles-like strap that won't block either the charging port or the cameras.

>>1260921 or you could join the chan group that plays vrchat

>>1292386 Maybe. I had bad experiences joining up with any kind of "chan" organized games in the past. Not bad, per say, but it was just a bunch of spergs shouting memes and a few try-hards trying to "trolololol" at each other. Drop the room name, maybe I'll stop by sometime, but it probably won't be until early in the morning on the weekends.

>>1227272 Seems to me they advertised VR to the wrong crowd. Pandering to just gamers was fucking retarded. Had they focused more on a "moving away from the desktop" experience would have been a better game changer. VR offers luxuries not even laptops can pull off. Outright replacing monitors period would be for the best. Not needing Windows, Linux, wifi, or bluetooth installed and can use your headset out of the box and do other shit like going into your BIOS whenever you wanted. Typing is still really wonky from what I hear but if they could focus more on that too you'd never have to get a keyboard either. Sure as hell beats sitting all day in overpriced office/gaming chairs(which is another shitty market).

>>1227272 If it is not cheap, it is automatically shit. VR was always dead on arrival due to the price.

VR is perfect for driving sims, where your controls are simple and your hands never have to go anywhere, but only halfway for flight sims. Something as complex as DCS, where all the controls are modeled in the cockpit, loses the tactile, haptic feeling of flipping switches and twisting knobs that requires you have eyes and hands on controls, but once it's dog-fighting time, nothing beats being able to look over your shoulders and above and track targets naturally.

>>1259668 >Virtual hotas/joystick emulation using vr controllers has to be the most retardedest thing ever it feels like fuck Eh VTOL VR's implementation is great. For some reason no one else seems to know how to get it right. All they need to do is look at that one game and copy everything it does.

>>1356672 Until they can make a headset that's comfortable enough to wear for longer than about 40 minutes that's not going to work. Even for gaming that's a bit of a fail if you're not a casual like me who is okay with playing in short bursts and taking long breaks.

>>1254686 valve game design has been lowest common denominator since HL2. Go over the dev commentary again if you don't believe me.

>>1266567 Nope, I know people who bought 5-10 year olds quest 3s.

>>1227272 It's a meme, but it's a neat meme you can get into inexpensively (unless you MUST have the most high end headset, then you either don't think it's a meme or don't care).

>>1393668 >VTOL VR's implementation is great Any VR flight sim where you don't have a tactile stick to grab onto has been shit for me. Having an imaginary stick you grab onto with your VR controller ends up with your hand continually drifting and not having the full range of motion or accurate response when you need it the most in the best cases - at worst, tracking issues on older headsets can cause the stick to become worthless. The cockpit button layout is nice, but because everything is so spaced out, it ends up looking like you're flying a Fischer price toy. Functionality is more important than aesthetics, but still, you lose the aesthetics. Been wanting to get a HOTAS for a while now, but my priority is in replacing my G29 wheel with a proper Moza Truck wheel and turn signal assembly next month or so. My current one is all jacked up with a bunch of cheap 3d printed Chinese shit that's breaking down the cheap American made 3D printed shit I used before didn't even last half as long. So after that... maybe? I have a yoke and throttle system that's great for flying Cessnas in MSFS, but are shit for dogfighting. But I also want to get a proper rudder system. I'll probably go for a HOTAS first though, because maybe I'm just a retard, but the rudder only seems useful for turning when you're on the ground. Everytime I try to engage it while in the air like it was Ace Combat or something, my plane just flips the fuck out and I borderline lose control. Not sure if that's because the current switch I'm using for rudder control is digital - making it go full on rather than a gentler analog input, or if you're just not supposed to use the rudder in the air. >>1432831 What's pissing me off is that there doesn't seem to be any good mid-range solutions on the market. Either you're stuck using Zuck's Meta Slop or you're going to be dropping over a grand on a headset that you can't properly use at a decent framerate anyhow unless you have a 5090. Pimax Crystal Light seems to be the best option, but apparently they're sketchy as fuck and if they send you an out-of-spec headset, then you're just fucked. When I got my Reverb G2 v2 with my unwanted Biden Bucks a few years ago - it only cost me $299 on sale and it blew most other headsets at the time out of the water, and still has advantages over lower-end headsets now. I'd just keep using that if Microsoft weren't intent on bricking it because fuck you, I guess.

>>1409637 >a children's toy bought for children means it's acceptable for everyone >compares a Wii to a flight simulator Are you intentionally stupid or is it an accident like your birth?

>>1356778 I mean, what do you define as cheap? The $300 price of the Quest 3S is, all things considered, a pretty decent deal. Less than any major console for what is essentially a game platform in itself - and software is easily pirated. I think the biggest dearh knell for VR is just the medium itself - it's hard to convince some to play games requiring standing up and moving around when sitting and looking at a screen is often far comfier, which is why a decent chunk of people who have Headsets stop using them after a few months. I still like the medium and play every so often, but I don't think entry price can really get mucg lower without big concessions.

>>1260902 Fucking Katwalk. I bought an original Katwalk when it still used accelerometers and the lag between movement and recognition of movement was so fucking bad. Total waste of $1000. I thought if they changed to better foot tracking I'd be happier with it but I can't find any solutions and I'm not going to buy an entire new C2 just to find out it's still garbage.

>>1292386 >>1354563 Every time I try to interact with anyone in VRChat I get anxiety and bail. Lately all I've been playing is modded Bonelab and Blade and Sorcery or Into the Radius. I think VRChat is cool I just can't get over the social interacting part even though I want to socialize. Maybe if the discussion was a creative endeavor about ttrpg's, worldbuilding and writing or something it'd be more entertaining and I could get a connection with someone, I don't really have much else to talk about these days.

>>1505126 And I am a full on reality escapist fag too so I do get enjoyment out of being anyone but myself and being in another world.

>>1253182 >Vrchat is the porn game Ok but what if I'm straight?

>>1514021 Then you can go straight to jail

VR news: apple is going to sell controllers for their apple vision pro. And in true apple fashion, they cost 250 dollar. Despite just being playstation vr 2 controllers. For comparison, buying ps vr 2 including controllers costs less than 500.

>>1880180 >Apple fashion The company that makes the product sets the price, dipshit.

>>1514309 How they were allowed to aim firearms at people, in a courthouse, with their fingers on the trigger and not get immediately disbarred is still beyond my comprehension.

>>1227272 I hope I can use the superior resolution of the Galaxy XR with that Linux distro that Valve is making.

>>1880258 So? He didn't say they didn't, retard

Thoughts on the new Galaxy XR?

>>1902424 >$1800 >ai ai google gemini ai >controllers not included 4K micro OLED is nice I guess, but gaming on the thing seems more like a afterthought, and the price is high even by non quest vr headset standards. I also don't know what google ai does better on this than on an android phone.

Saw more videos on the Pimax Dream Air and they still didn't even have the head strap ready. The micro OLED panels in combination with lenses that are on par or better than the pancake lenses on Quest 3 is insane. They're really cooking with their own lens design, but fuck me if you wouldn't die of old age by the time you can actually get the damn thing. Delayed and price hiked repeatedly.

>>1883146 He literally did.

>>1903589 >Pimax Dream Air It looks cool, but I also kinda wish it had a WiFi option.

>>1252853 Index Compound, and blade and sorcery almost made it worth the purchase, also a fun boxing game Apparently Skyrim VR can be modded into a fun experience but I didnt have a spare week to set everything up and then troubleshoot Valve Index 6/10 Lots to setup and needs a lot of space and good pc specs, not a scam but not enough good games

>>1908371 I MUST add hotdogs horseshoes and handgrenades, H3vr any anon who spent money on an index at least get some value out of it

vr headsets are so bloated with unnessesary crap and their inflated prices show it. Just give me a small headset with 6dof gyro ffs. No ar, no gay controllers, not self contained OS, no facetracker, no forced SASS storefront, no integrated cpu, no heavy battery, no ai, no social vr shit, no standing vr crap. Just give me a good resolution screen and lenses so i can play my damn simulator games. I am so fucking tired of everything needing to be a glorified nintendo wii. Half the "games" in vr don't even need to be in VR, social VR makes zero sense since you can talk to people without a headset. What is the fucking point other than to appease insecure furries and trannies? thats all these shitboxes do nowadays.

>>1919237 For what it's worth, and as much as people shit on it here, the Reverb G2 is still a decent headset - especially for sims, and it's generally pretty cheap on Ebay now that it's been depreciated in Win 11. If you run Win 10 still, it runs fine, but if you're on Win 11 there are "Oasis Drivers" on Steam that cut out all the WMR bullshit and hooks the headset directly into SteamVR. I tried it for a bit on Win 10, and while I got a slight performance boost, it became unstable and crashed my PC after an uninstall to compare performance metrics. But that is just Win 10, which is specifically not supported and I was just getting lucky for a time until it fucked up permanently. If you want a decent headset at a reasonable price, it's not a bad option - though it is well past EOL so don't expect much in the way of support if anything goes wrong.

>>1227272 >Is VR still a fucking meme? Short answer: Yes, unless you want to jerk off. Long answer: https://inv.nadeko.net/lHLpKzUxjGk?goaway_challenge=resource-load&goaway_id=3a8d8d2669490dc2ba141ff9aea9e7df&__goaway_referer=https%3A%2F%2Finv.nadeko.net%2F&t=1193
