I hope Occulus isn't blocking crap again. Hopefully Revive gets updated, I want to play this and Stormlands when it comes out.
Saw this on revive page, you could try it and see if it helps
"
Newly installed games will give you an Entitlement check failed or Oculus Rift not found error until you reboot the Oculus service.
The quickest way to do that is through Oculus Home by going to Settings > Beta > Restart Oculus. If it still fails, try rebooting your computer.

Came to post this. I'm super psyched. Also in other news just over a week out for index! I'm giddy.
Yo I played the free version of this ages ago. It was really cool and I'm looking forward to see how they've expanded on it

I've been looking forward to Respawn's VR game more than anything in the VR world since the actual initial wave of consumer hardware. Part of me hopes it has multiplayer, but I'll understand if it doesn't. Honestly, I think its going to come out on the Quest as well...which could be why we haven't heard anything about it in so long. I could go either way with that prediction though; the deal was made fairly early and while it could have changed since then, the original vision was likely to take full advantage of PCVR. The Quest is just so power limited in comparison.
I love my Rift S! Second night with it. I figured I'd stay up a bit later to try it more. Aside from the blurry text at a distance and streaky white font on dark backgrounds, I don't have a single complaint so far.
That moment when you take off the headset and you're in a different part of the room than you expected to be....
I focused on Skyrim VR tonight and it made me smile many, many times. Last night I played Batman and Superhot VR. That moment in Superhot when you realize you can actually duck behind the desk and shoot over............simply incredible! A feeling unlike any other I've had in gaming that I can remember. Also, getting shot and punched still freaks me out! Shooting in VR feels sooo good. Even though it is familiar to a shooting gallery, it just can feel so good!
My partner had a blast too, who isn't exactly a "gamer." I think that speaks volumes to the intuitive controls and design. She was blown away and jumping up and down just playing the Oculus tutorial app with the robot in the trailer! I am so much more excited for this medium now. Cannot wait for the steam sale! I'm a little tempted to just buy from the Oculus store now for ease of use but it's really not that bad to launch apps from within.

They said specs information will come next week.
I feel like I got trolled. The fuck is that reveal.
Yeah basically all this. Its like the quest is out, the index is out next week, and HTC are still screwing around like everyone is just waiting to buy a Cosmos or something.
I really think Superhot is the single best inplementation of VR we have right now. I've played through the campaign at least three times, it's just so well done.
They worked within the limitations of the medium instead of trying to do too much, and that makes the experience super accessible.
Defector launching on July 11 on Rift
July 11th? Already? Holy shit. Im so in.
20$? I expected 60$. That's cool. But that makes me wonder about the length and the production quality.

You're probably right that it will be overpriced, but if it also has the potential to be semi-wireless (linked to your phone) AND a PC headset, it will be the first of its kind as far as I know. I don't know how the smartphone aspect would work, although it would surely have to adhere to minimum specs. It seems like it could have the potential to be lighter and have more graphical capabilities than the Quest in its mobile form, and it could also have the potential to have its own apps that take advantage of that phone to HMD connection. It seems like a variance in smartphones could bring up all sorts of weird requirements for developers and consumers, though.
It seems they also added two more cameras (high and low) so it could be more inline with Rift S tracking. If tracking really is that good and the HMD specs are somehow better than the Quest, I could see myself being interested. It would be a sort of Rift S/Quest hybrid...and if that is the case, I think even if the price is around 600 it may be worth it depending on how they handle the mobile ecosystem. If it offers all that I mentioned though including better specs, I could imagine it being significantly more, like 800 or so.
Yeah they've only showed two levels so far, I hope it's because they're keeping the rest of the game a secret but it makes me think it just isn't that long. I'll buy it day one still, I've just finished Blood & Truth and it'll be cool to play something similar but with better tracking.
Just finished Virtual Virtual Reality.
Man there were some mind-bending moments. And the ending, god damn.
Are there some similar games around? Will try to wait for the sale lol
For now I've played Accounting+ and Job Simulator, and I have Virtual Rick-ality already but haven't played it.

just passed that game the other day and i gotta say its such a fantastic experience that deserves some more attention for sure
Yeah, it is short. Took me 2 hours, but there's a new mission coming next week.
Cosmos looks like it's shaping up to be pretty good, probably won't be under $800 though.
Just a heads up, No Man's Sky is on sale for $30. As far as I know, the big VR and multiplayer update are coming out sometime this summer. I was never too interested in the game until now, definitely picked it up for VR and online.

I actually re-bought Arizona Sunshine in that same situation. It should be worth another go with Index controller support and updated locomotion options.
Anyone have any impressions of good Steam sale games? I'm looking at In Death and Dungeon Knight specifically, but I'd love to hear other favorites!
Arizona Sunshine is great especially if you have someone to play through it with. It's still one of my favorite VR games, albeit a little short. Superhot VR is a no-brainer if you haven't played it yet. If you can stomach it, Sairento VR is a lot of fun and includes both gun and melee combat. Like all games with melee, be sure to have enough room to swing your arms around. I broke a Vive controller not too long ago playing Gorn.
currently trying to decide between the cosmos and rift s. Probably gonna wait for the reviews of cosmos to come out to make my final decision.
Can I get some impressions on the following:
- Star trek bridge crew - £10 (and £6 for the TNG DLC). Would be unlikely to play multiplayer so does it work ok single player?
- Talos Principle - £5. But I've finished the flat version ages ago - is it worth revisiting in VR?

I would not buy Bridge Crew to play it alone. The game is really built around playing with friends.
I didn't personally like Talos all that much in VR. It was highly recommended though so maybe I'm an outlier on that one.
Went to a UI/UX AR/VR meetup tonight, literally just got home to grab the index controllers which arrived today. So a bunch of us got to try out the index controllers I brought as well as Cyan World, developer of the firmament who brought theirs and lets us futz around in their new game. It went so quick. I just love talking to people about this kind of tech and being in that kind of environment.
