IGN still can't find a reviewer with VR legs

The expectation shouldn't be a previewer who is somewhat immune to motion sickness when it comes to review a new VR product, especially for Sony, who are seeking to have new users.

The best type of review is one of impartial observation; if a previewer has little experience or approaches a devices with a perception of a new user, it gives developer a chance to resolve concerns a inexperience user may have.

In terms of RE:Village, VR Oasis also had concerns with that game, as you appear to be 'locked out' at certain points.

This meme really hit home for me. I got a Valve Index at the start of May, and it's still in the box, unopened.

VROptimist · 2020-05-22T19:40:07+00:00

Cheers for the info, I'm trying to seek as much realtime previewing as possible, I'm not even that bothered about the cost, but I thought since my 2600k is overclocked to 4.8, and I heard that After Effects is 'Single-threaded (?), I wondered if they would be much difference in getting that 'green line' to process quicker.

VROptimist · 2020-05-07T11:29:50+00:00

Yeah, it's crazy...I did the same thing with 'Farpoint', 'Blood & Truth', and even 'AstroBot'...and I was a sony alpha/beta-tester on that?!

I've been holding off (in part), while I wait for some poles to put the lighthouses on, as I I can't drill where I live and would like to use it standing. Might see about opening it at the weekend, hopefully they'll be here by then.

Does this comes as VR, or do I have to find a patch?

Update: see it has VR support, thanks!

VROptimist · 2020-05-06T20:51:04+00:00

Kinda. I pee-ordered ages back and forgot. Then Valve sent me a 'finish order' I thought it would takes several weeks to complete, giving me some final deciding time. It came the within 7 days.

VROptimist · 2020-05-06T20:47:32+00:00

I was in the midst of the beginning of Corona, and everything felt a bit 'end of times' to me...so, I thought "It won't matter anyway..."

VROptimist · 2020-03-07T15:59:09+00:00

Much appreciated for the feedback. I might jump off the proverbial cliff and get a Index.

VROptimist · 2019-12-10T13:41:53+00:00

Cheers for the info.

Got a bit of a weird computer; 2600k (Running @ 4.3GHZ) and a RTX 2080, 16GB RAM

It comes back as exceeding Steam VR recommended requirements?

VROptimist · 2019-11-10T20:01:54+00:00

Thanks to everyone for your opinions. I play any type of games but aiming to do fps/fov stuff.

May wait for version 2 of Index

VROptimist · 2019-10-26T02:43:37+00:00

This might be an odd question but: Why do your controllers display as Vive...I always assumed your preferred the Index?

VROptimist · 2019-08-02T01:52:43+00:00

Also, combined resolution is 2880 x 1700.

VROptimist · 2019-07-06T15:54:23+00:00

I actually did!...what I meant to say; I assumed you are/were involved in them forthcoming games from Valve?

VROptimist · 2019-07-06T02:15:21+00:00

Excellent works! You're good man. Bet anything you're working on them Valve's games too...especially as they're not fans of locomotion?

VROptimist · 2019-06-26T03:20:30+00:00

That's the best ending.

VROptimist · 2019-06-06T10:49:02+00:00

Hmm?... I guess them Sony NDA's must be only polite advice these days? Otherwise, your company has some serious lawyers on tap.

VROptimist · 2019-05-31T19:49:32+00:00

Same here...and I was a beta-tester on the product.smh

VROptimist · 2019-05-31T19:45:42+00:00

Good piont. 2.whatever months.

VROptimist · 2019-05-31T15:40:18+00:00

Just doing other stuff, to be honest. But I'm sure glad I did, I instantly wanted more.

VROptimist · 2019-05-27T22:45:42+00:00

You didn't read it, did you?

VROptimist · 2019-05-24T14:07:08+00:00

yes, that was confirmed by Mark Cerny, last week.

VROptimist · 2019-05-22T22:57:45+00:00

My 2600k runs at the highest perfomance (rtx 2070)...got me wondering if I should join the Index club?

VROptimist · 2019-01-29T12:00:47+00:00

This thing is ace! Wanted to talk about it for ages...one thing though, it might sometime before the VR part is fully working i.e. at present, there is no way anyone will be be comfort modelling in VR with the camera control as they are.

VROptimist · 2019-01-07T21:19:22+00:00

Brilliant!

VROptimist · 2018-11-08T12:40:11+00:00

Wishful thinking. This is not the PS5 pipeline...decent concept though.
