Ascendor, do gaming w VR is an absolute game changer for racing games

Welcome to 2016. Sorry :[]

Haha I got my Oculus Rift CV1 in 2016. It absolutely blew my mind in Elite Dangerous, when all the building sized ships ACTUALLY were building sized.

VR has come a long way since then.

Ascendor,

You’re right. But the kind of immersion, the turning of the head stuff was the same back then. Elite: Dangerous is a good example for it.

Just finished Alan Wake. Not what I expected from the game but overall interesting. Somewhat like the idea of making it like a TV Show. Short but story was decent.

Started playing Amnesia: rebirth.

Kept me hooked for way longer than I planned for the day.

Ghost of Yotei. I’m not far in but it’s very good so far if you like Ghost of Tsushima.

Is it just more Ghost of Tsushima or does it add any new mechanics?

nogooduser,

It feels very much like Ghost of Tsushima but there are a few small differences.

I only have two fighting stances unlocked the second being dual katanas.

You have a wolf that pops up and helps every now and then.

I’ve only played a few hours though and I can see a lot of unknown unlocks.

teft,

I’ve beaten the game. There are new weapons (i think you get 6 main weapons and 5 ghost weapons) and a wolf companion but it’s pretty much the same. I really liked this one and the original. The story is weaker in Yotei but i enjoy the combat enough that it doesn’t bother me much.

I agree, sadly racing games are the worst for vr motion sickness for me. Wish there was a way around it.

Most can get past the simulation sickness with time. The key is to never let it get so bad that you get sick or experience pain. Only do small sessions of activity that slightly push the envelope, and be patient.

I don’t recommend racing games to anyone new to VR.

Ive got pretty decent vr legs and I experienced some nausea after about 30km of rally racing (around a half hour). Went away after a few minutes. I’ve got a very strong pc so there was zero lag and it was buttery smooth but the nausea still happened 🥴

Wlm,

If you think it’s worth the investment you could keep on trying. It does get better over time. What helped for me initially was only turning my head on straights, and keeping it straight ahead on turns. I’m guessing because then you’re not mixing real and fake acceleration. It defeats the purpose a little, but might be worth it. Oh and also what other people said: quit while you’re ahead. Recovery can take hours if you really push it, similar to seasickness. Oh and don’t do accidental donuts in your Ariel Atom all the time. That was fun until it wasn’t 🤢 😉, back with Driveclub on the PSVR 1.

Also - close your eyes if you are about to crash or spin!

… I should try it out again, see if there are enough games out there to make valves new headset worth it.

I had to share this because no one else in my life will listen.

I’m listening, but more importantly, I completely understand 😭

Also, if you think this setup (with the Xbox controller) is great, wait until the Steam Frame comes out with the new Steam Controller integration (it has IR LEDs on the front of it so you can see a virtual representation of it in the menus). You also won’t need to plug it into your PC as the Steam Frame itself is basically a full PC.

I’m so hyped about it! Finally, a real Linux OS we can customize TF out of instead of locked-down versions of Android that look like they are designed for toddlers.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Very hyped for the steam frame but not optimistic with the ram prices and subsequent shortage of every other pc part due to AI.

I wonder how powerful the Steam Frame will be. I’ve got a steam deck and I understand it will probably be similar in power. Wonder how it will handle pc racing games.

artyom,

Not even close. Steam Frame has basically a phone processor in it. It’s a “streaming-first” device.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Ya so I’d need to use my desktop for any vr games

artyom,

I mean it’s no less powerful than the Meta Quest.

priapus,

The Steam Frame is mainly aimed at displaying games running on your PC, it’s specs won’t be as good as the Steam Deck.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Ya I can’t imagine an ARM processors going to push that much power. I’m surprised with the meta quest 3s though. That’s what I’m currently using

priapus,

Yeah it’ll definitely still run decent stuff. From what I’ve seen it seems to be able to run a lot of the games that can run on those headsets. The tough part is that a lot of those games only have their ARM version on the Oculus store and are shipped as android software. Hopefully devs will be willing to release a Linux ARM version for the Frame.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

My understanding is that it can run apks which is what the meta headsets are running

priapus,

It can, but it runs through a tool called Waydroid to run android containers on Linux, so the compatibility might not be as great as running natively

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Ah I see okay. I have Waydroid on my laptop and it works fairly well. Haven’t tried gaming on it though. Not a lot of standard Android games I want to play on my laptop haha

Depends. How are you defining your art style?

purple_mimosa,
@purple_mimosa@lemmy.world avatar

I have some vague concepts of an idea, but they seem to change every once in a while. I’d like a modern vaporwave rusty industrial pastel fabric 80s lighting look.

Yeah. I know.

frongt,

So you probably want a top-down image of a piece of equipment then? Neither a blob nor an icon.

justdaveisfine, do games w Dying Light

Against the Storm. Its a roguelike colony builder where you’re trying to establish colonies and ship resources back to the queen before she loses patience with you.

Its not so roguelike that bad rolls ruin a run but also you have to deal with a bunch of fantasy races who each have their own needs.

Its pretty good.

How about construction vehicles with a cute little indication of their status… some suggestions:

“tired” becomes a little tornado cloud coming out from the bubble.

Idle is zzzs coming from the bubble

You could use these kinds of marks, as inspiration.

This is an awesome idea. And then the lightning symbol when it’s charging. Thanks.

realitaetsverlust, do games w Dying Light

Dying Light 1 is the best one anyways - DL2 was a big step down and DL:TB was fine, but wasn’t able to really “connect” to DL1 either. DL1 just had everything - great combat, great parcour, creepy nights with an actual INCENTIVE to go out (to kill bolters) - I honestly don’t know why they are unable to replicate that success.

To answer the question - Rimworld and Project Zomboid. As always.

Nelots,

Rimworld. As always.

How’s the Geneva checklist coming along?

realitaetsverlust,

I’m currently raising children in life pods to put them into the ripcore scanner to convert their brains into subcores to advance my mech army.

Nelots,

Nice. Last I played, I recently found out colonists’ moods are locked the second their enter a coma. I of course abused this by turning my colonists into unaging sangophages, getting them as happy as possible, having them deathrest permanently, and then giving them a psychic harmonizer.

Eventually I got my hands on a modified sangophage gene with psychic hypersensitivity, and it was smooth sailing from there. My little meat joy batteries would each give my colonists up to like +40 mood in a massive radius around my base.

IWW4, do games w Dying Light

Dying light is number two on my list. I am replaying factorio then I will play factorio space and then Dying light.

How is the dying light campaign?

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Good so far. I’m doing a lot of the side quests, but the prologue was good without being unduly difficult, and did force me to think a little creatively.

IWW4,

Awesome, thanks.

What racing games are you playing?

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally 2, Assetto Corsa Rally as well

HER0,
@HER0@beehaw.org avatar

I recommend trying Automobilista 2! It has decent VR support and decent VR performance compared to most sims, and makes it hard to race elsewhere for me.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ll have to check it out! I’ve seen it around but haven’t heard much about it :)

@termus@beehaw.org avatar

If you want to test your vr legs or puke on your legs, try GRIP: Combat Racing

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Oof I played that in 2D and it was bonkers. There’s no way I’m trying it in vr haha

Lfrith,

Have you tried flying games? I’d imagine that would feel really cool in VR.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Oh yes! Elite Dangerous, XPlane 12 (and 11), VTOLVR, Aerofly FS4 are all the flying games I play in VR. It’s incredible.

Or go the much cheaper way of standard rig + head tracking.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

You’d still need to keep your eyes locked dead centre of the screen while you move for that. To each their own though. Natural movement and tracking is a game changer

KokoSabreScruffy, do games w Dying Light

Guild Wars Reforged, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, Trine 5 and Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution(on the deck). I find it hard focusing on a single game.

vrek, do games w Day 528 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

I’ve never heard of this game. What kind of game is it? Based on the screenshots it kinda looks like undertale and a bullet hell made a game together.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s like Undertale. There’s no combat though. If you like Undertale I’d say it’s well worth picking up

missingno,
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

It's a purely narrative game, the original version (this is now a remake of a remake in a new engine) was made in RPG Maker but without any RPG elements. Walk around, talk to NPCs, watch the story unfold.

The one big thing it has in common with Undertale is that the less you know going in, the better. If the art style and vibe is enough to get your attention, go ahead and give it a shot, go in blind.

vrek,

Is it rpg? Fps? Rts?
