I was kind of surprised this didn't get announced at E3.
Excellent. I've been waiting on this.
Glad to see this game is still being worked on and excited to see how it's expanded. Especially if the rumor of Index support is true.
It's alright, got a few issues many of which should be solved due to PC. How the guns work may take some getting use to for some as they use the mechanics from the original, which means holding down a button for improved accuracy and causes movement penalty and vital for many weapons.
I pulled the trigger on an oculus rift s. I took advantage of green man gaming's and steam's sale to pickup:
Fallout 4 Vr
Skyrim vr
La noire vr case files
Doom vfr
Super hot vr
Batman
Star Trek bridge crew
I already gave elite dangerous too. I can't wait for my shipment to arrive on Wednesday! I just admitted to myself that I'll never justify $1000+ right now for the premium vr and that I'm happy to compromise with what seems to be super quality kit.

excellent news. Loved it at the launch of the Vive. Strange about the NDA since as he says himself, he's the only developer on the project, and he can't have put himself under NDA, right? :)
The only theory I've heard, that makes any sense, is maybe it's one of the showcase games that Valve is featuring for the journalists and their final Index review? Otherwise, yeah, it's a very puzzling statement.
It's fantastic now because it got Aim support, The game still needs it's MP added and DLC which should come soon enough hopefully.
No announcement, but someone claiming to be a dev on Reddit said it should be out within a few weeks after someone suggested it would be months.
If you have a roomscale set up, but have never tried Unseen Diplomacy because your space is too small, give this a shot:
void-room.itch.io
It doesn't hide the trick as well as Unseen Diplomacy does—likely in part because of the much lower play area requirements—but it still works surprisingly well. Clearly very early in development, but a good demo of the concept.
I realliy, really, really want more games that work like this.
Tea For God by void room
vr roguelite using impossible spaces / euclidean orbifold

Oh, weird.
They are adding and the DLC though? Do we know if we'll have to buy it?
Haven't mentioned that but considering its already a full price game and has no co-op, They would have a right cheek to charge for it when Skyrim VR came with all the dlc.
DLC is coming in the Summer for PSVR. No word on if CoOp will but I doubt it. Maybe the PCVR will be different but who knows? I know they tweaked some of the perks on PSVR to accommodate for it being single player only. IIRC there's a perk that slows down time which wouldn't be possible in a MP setting
So I've having some shakiness on my left wmr controller. Only that one, I've changed the port of my bt dongle to be closer to me, I've changed batteries, but for now no change.
Does anyone know how to fix it, it's not gamebreaking at all, but it's annoying how it shakes.

Picked up Pavlov VR and same with my buddy who just got his Rift setup.
Probably the best $10 I've ever spent on VR. This game is so good and the Steam Workshop support is fantastic. We were playing 1v1 on plenty of old Halo CE, 2, and 3 maps. Walking around Guardian and The Pit in VR is such a strange but amazing feeling after the hundreds or thousands of hours I've spent there over the years.
My friend just built his first gaming PC without intending to even go VR. He is using an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with a AMD RX 570. All together the PC was under $500 CAD and he got the original Rift off Kijiji for $250 including a 3rd sensor, and a VRCover!
Turns out that machine runs most VR games just fine! I was astounded. The video card was like $120!

I'm still unclear if this is going be their new flagship HMD? The site says "premium" so I assume it is? If so then I expect higher res. than Pro/Pro Eye + Eye Tracking + maybe higher refresh? I will absolutely upgrade my Pro if that happens.
New trailer for Cradle of Sins which is a first person VR MOBA. Not sure if this is the one to pull it off, but this is a concept I've been waiting for someone to really try in this way.
I think we only know its targeted for consumers , but no idea if its for mainstream or enthusiasts. My gut feeling suggest its for budget mainstream similar to Rift S.
Croteam VR bundle is dirt cheap now, and if you havent buy this, this is a must-get bundle at this price
Pretty sure that means it has "official" Oculus support, but it doesn't mean it's using the Oculus runtime. For instance, The Lab shows Oculus support, but uses SteamVR.
If that's the case I'm going to be disappointed because it means the Pro Eye is still the best version but same res. as my Pro and HMD-only purchase isn't even available. I'm not dealing with having to sell everything and paying 1600 for eye tracking.
I have been wondering this. The Valve Index Controllers look pretty amazing but how much do you think it will impact the games coming out? If a developer makes their game rely on them, they then shrink their market pretty heavily. So I imagine most will try and implement them, but make them not required which then makes the implementation more fluff than anything. That's not necessarily a bad thing. A beefy video card could be argued the same way. You can play the same games, but playing at 4k vs HD does enhance the experience.
I am just really curious how the Index Controllers will impact the landscape. I almost feel like their impact wont be seen until Oculus releases something similar (if that ever happens).

At least to start it will definitely be that way with a few developers playing around with it more fully. Like stress level zero. That being said the comfort/QoL bonus will be so huge I don't even care. Just going from Oculus to Vive was such a huge downgrade in terms of controller. That I'm psyched.
I think they will be implemented in most games going forward, most of the big ongoing steamvr games have already started updating, Arizona,onward,h3vr,etc updated before they even came to consumers. They have similarities with touch controllers , just more finger control. If anything index will just provide flexibility of more finger control even if it doesn't matter in context of picking something up vs say touch controllers. A lot of reviewers liked that even though it changes nothing except feeling more natural seeing all the fingera move.
It will probably be just another option on top of what we already have. I imagine they'll be widely supported, but very few games will actually rely on it's exclusive features. I do think we'll eventually see a decent amount of games that will be enhanced by those features though. Like in a "best way to play" way.
That said, I do think it will overall impact games in that we'll see more use of thumb/index/middle finger tracking outside of Oculus exclusives and might see a decent amount of games that do rely on that as a core feature. The Touch controllers probably have a significantly larger market than the Vive wands when you take Quest in to account so if adoption of the Index controllers is decent, it might be worth it with that in mind.
The latest SteamVR API's make it really easy to implement finger tracking. I would expect this to be standard for all games released going forward. I wouldn't expect any of this to have actual impacts on gameplay/design, but it'll be nice immersion boosters for games with hands.
Last Labyrinth VR has been delayed from Summer to Fall 2019.
They also made their Japanese commercial available for viewing worldwide.

I've been unable to play this on Revive :( Getting the "You have a pending hardware issue" message that I haven't seen since The Climb.
It doesn't look great, but either way my parents will be buying it on their quest so I will get their review early july lol (they don't get their quest until july 3rd :P)
I set up my rift s tonight and had an absolute blast with it. My fiancé actually enjoyed it too and she's pretty new to games in general. The touch controllers are so intuitive and do such a great job at emulating hands.
Super hot is unlike anything I've ever played before. That moment when you realize you can duck...or when the bullet is coming right for your skull!
One thing I noticed was that white text on backgrounds sometimes leaves streaks behind. This is especially apparent if It's not in my immediate line of sight and somewhat distant. It's sort of like 3d cross talk if I had to compare it to something. I've only noticed this in menus and is forgettable during gameplay. Is this normal?
I'll have to figure out how to easily switch from room scale to desk chair because it's nice to have the keyboard at arms length from time to time.

Yeah, apparently a side effect of them using fresnel lenses. It sucks, always makes me think my glasses are dirty even though I'm not wearing them.
wow man I just realized this game exits early access today
ROGAN: The Thief in the Castle is up for pre-purchase right now. They are also throwing in a 33% discount and the following incentives for pre-purchase
