The textures are so not worth the space. Sounds? Sure, we are still making progress with audio design that can be noticed and enjoyed. Graphics? We are way passed the point where we can meaningfully improve on those without making concessions that just aren’t worth it.

Look at all that good will. Capcom built up is now gone.

Every non-VR game that has VR support tacked on has been terrible in VR.

Resident Evil 7 VR was pretty awesome

Wasn't that game made for VR, though? Like, it came out officially on VR, no?

Strepto,
@Strepto@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh we’re only talking about modded VR modes?

In that case yes. I thought we were talking about games not designed around VR

iAmTheTot,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I mean that's my point though. It was designed for VR, no? Like it was even originally demo'd in VR, iirc.

Dieterlan,

There have been a lot of RE remakes recently. Maybe they got confused and thought RE7 VR was a remake of an earlier game?

Strepto,
@Strepto@sh.itjust.works avatar

I wouldn’t necessarily say it was designed for VR. That would mean it was the primary focus of development.

According to this article it was pitched to the executive producer of the game approximately halfway through development: gamerant.com/resident-evil-7-vr-wasnt-planned/

iAmTheTot,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Something being pitched halfway through development doesn't mean it isn't tightly integrated. I dunno, I just think we have different views on this. The game was demo'd in VR, released in VR at the same time as the non VR version, officially supported, and plays well. Seems made for VR to me.

mordack550,

Elite Dangerous is fantastic!

SkyezOpen,

Game kind of lost me with the learning curve and feeling lost, but I can concur the vr felt amazing. Like just looking to the side to open ship menus is simple and feels futuristic as hell.

Summzashi,

That was made for VR from the start though

Have no idea what you are talking about. The fan VR modding community has been the primary reason why VR hasn't died on PC. Mechwarrior 5 vr, Resident Evil 2/3 VR, 7 days to die vr, Half Life 2, Deep Rock Galactic, and many more titles. VR is an immersion enhancer and I am glad there is such a vibrant community for it. The library of possible VR games are also going to expand rapidly once Praydog finally release the Unreal 4/5 wrapper.

Edit: Can't believe I forgot to mention Mother VR (Alien Isolation)

Wait wait wait, Deep Rock Galactic VR? Ziplining and grappling and shit, whew, I gotta check this out.

SkyezOpen,

Mechwarrior 5 vr

Holy shit. I stopped playing early because I was frustrated I couldn’t set my weapons groups like MW4, but if I can sit in the goddamn cockpit and use a flight control system in vr sign me the fuck up.

ThunderingJerboa, (edited )
@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

Unfortunately don't think there are motion controls. Works great with Hotas though. I wished we would have motion controls but can't ask too much from modders who are doing this on their free time.

Edit: You also may need to elaborate on what you mean change your weapon groups like MW4, it has been quite a bit since I played that one.

SkyezOpen,

Yeah don’t care about motion controls, those are best left to standing games.

In MW4 you can assign any weapon to any group, so you can have granular groups like one for short range one for long or individual weapons as well, but also an alpha strike shoot fucking everything group. When I started MW5 I could only assign a weapon to one group. I think. It was a while ago but that’s what I vaguely remember.

ThunderingJerboa,
@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

I don't have MW5 installed anymore but from my memory you can assign a weapon to multiple firing groups. The only thing I think they did remove is it doesn't use a select fire active group button anymore.

Yeah don’t care about motion controls, those are best left to standing games.

Not sure if you have tried it but VTOL Vr may change your mind on that. It will never beat HOTAS but its far more immersive than relying on your keyboard or controller.

Maalus,

Payday?

This ended up being entirely false. This post should either be edited or removed.

edit: while there have been users doing personal research into this matter that casts doubt on it, there is no proof backing up what i just said. going to leave it here with an edit. my apologies.

CrayonRosary,

Got a citation?

lets see what i can find…

thats a reddit thread of someone posting their own results lemme see if i can find a more ‘verifiable’ source

seems i can’t! hey! so i retract my original statement. i would still cast doubt on this but i now have no actual legs to stand on, my apologies.

I’m sure this makes sense to the CEO-brain. It doesn’t make sense to virtually anyone else, and it really just serves to make Capcom look like dicks.

Nachorella,

Yeah, they get talked into it by some salesman and insist they use it even though it’s almost always poorly received and never seems to have an impact on piracy.

Katana314, do gaming w Bigger Than Godzilla: Why Are Games Using So Many Gigabytes?

I wish not all content was voice acted.

The eight main heroes are receiving an alert about the empire starting its invasion, and the hero’s cousin is leading the charge? That scene deserves good VA. It’s dramatic, plot important, and can get you invested in characters.

A farmer is giving you a radiant quest to kill an optional boss? That kind of thing absolutely doesn’t need VA. It even means that people cycling through content can speed-read his introduction, and aren’t forced to listen to horrendous voice acting.

You can already play it in VR with Vorpx.

I’m more interested in a VR remake with path tracing.

WiildFiire,

AFAIK Vorpx just ties the camera to headset tracking, you don’t get independent movement or interaction
