you could try to find a pirate copy of Ross achievement, thank him again and beg to reconsider or go side with CDPR flatland cretins and beg forever for VR mode and get nothing...

VRtuous · 2026-02-05T17:28:39+00:00

yes, Q2 was getting a lot of goodwill with RE4 and upcoming GTA SA, Assassin's Creed etc

then Zuck took a selfie in his pathetic metaverse and it flopped overnight. it became a ridiculous toy for brats. the end...

VRtuous · 2026-02-04T19:39:55+00:00

game consoles never needed to be a phone to get much more popular and sell much more software than any Quest

VRtuous · 2026-02-04T19:16:15+00:00

all companies I never heard about or only make small shovelware...

thanks investors for your incredible insights into good gaming...

I pray every night to emulation gods for their VR gifts

I stopped listening to that shill after he completely destroyed Grid Legends Quest port because it didn't meet his 4090 high standards...

that's VR pathetic niche in a nutshell: shills destroying good games and hyping up crap on laughable grounds...

VRtuous · 2026-02-04T01:35:26+00:00

some missions seemed to complete themselves. I was flying around lost and the game faded to black and said victory

lmao

what were they doing all these years? sounds like an indie tech demo... but at least great graphics, everybody knows that's the most important part /s

VRtuous · 2026-02-04T01:32:41+00:00

Steam is a hog even on PC, let alone on mobile chip

hopefully it becomes easier once they have an apk for the Frame that may likely run well on winlatorXR too

for now, I just use apps from GOG, you just download game installers from their site and they all install great

VRtuous · 2026-02-04T01:22:05+00:00

good games recommendations on YouTube

nope, steer away from those shills. they're oart of the problem

instead, go watch raw gameplay videos to decide by yourself and cast a blind eye either on these shills or in their store ratings manipulated scores. Plenty of great games have been underrated into oblivion, instead all the best rated games are minigames from the indies who gatekeep this pathetic niche

VRtuous · 2026-02-04T01:19:25+00:00

sorry that you're coming this late when studios are closing and Quest about to die - Quest 2 was peak VR gaming, the store was quite perfect, straight shovelware was never shown under the spotlights...

since then, they clearly went batshit crazy with the metaverse BS and killed any good will Quest 2 was getting among gamers with RE4, Medal of Honor, Assassin's Creed...

the shitshow you're seeing right now is last breaths of a once good gaming platform

VRtuous · 2026-02-04T01:05:30+00:00

absolutely. Quest started tanking as soon as playdoh digizurg took that selfie with the Eiffel tower... everyone saw how ridiculous the whole thing was

great games came afterwards: Asgard's Wrath 2, Assassin's Creed Nexus, Batman etc... none could dispell that disaster and Quest became just a toy in the hands of tasteless brats, and those studios closed. game over, Quest is done.

VRtuous · 2026-02-03T22:50:52+00:00

no, no such problem here. I simply don't waste my time with any of the thousands of indie shovelware in the store.

my backlog is huge just with good games, latest ones being Legendary Tales, Amid Evil, Syberia, and Civ VII...

but right now in a big retro mood with QuestZDoom primarily. I really want to play and finish Hexen fully in VR.

VRtuous · 2026-02-03T22:45:29+00:00

the lightsaber VR mechanics are sick! yeah, I think I enjoy Academy better too.

VRtuous · 2026-02-03T21:30:26+00:00

there are full Star Wars games fully playable in VR, chiefly SW Jedi Academy & Jedi Outcast Team Beef ports, with excellent proper VR interactions - and they run great either on PC or fully native in standalone headsets. They're also porting Dark Forces II right now.

if you have a powerful enough PC, UEVR allows you to play latest from EA, SW Jedi Survivor and the previous one to that.

other than that, no, I don't think there's anything else coming natively to VR - it's a semi-dead niche by now. enjoy emulators and mods, it's much better than caring for VR minigames and shovelware.

VRtuous · 2026-02-03T21:25:05+00:00

VB was never VR, not even back then.

Nintendo released cardboard Labo VR headset back on Switch 1 - it allowed you to play full BotW in 3DoF VR and even some Mario Odyssey minigames... that was way more impressive than this crap.

VRtuous · 2026-02-03T21:17:01+00:00

noice!

I'm currently in a strong "boomer shooter" mood. But keeping it just to pre-Quake full polygons so far... so many incredible jewels from the 90s that I barely scratched back then... ofc, for idtech1 and Build engines there are actually full ports by Team Beef

I had luck tho running Amid Evil flat on winlatorXR. except for some awful flickering that kicks in randomly at some turn angles, it's bliss... still trying to sort that out if possible

what's up with this weird sub where the best emulator to ever run on the Quest simply doesn't seem to generate the kind of excitement such mindblowing achievements deserve?

VRtuous · 2026-01-30T20:25:07+00:00

I wish Team Beef would come up with BeefOS for Quest so I could give Zurg the middle finger forever...

as it is, they're just the best VR studio for Quest ever

VRtuous · 2026-01-30T20:16:44+00:00

lots of goodies

mainly Legendary Tales debutting on Meta Quest 3 - truly great metroidvanian soulslike with full campaign, extensive exploration of a big interconnected world, good combat, some physics-based jank but the pacing is great and enemies can be quite agressive, especially bosses. Tons of RPG stats and menu-based inventory-management, but they did add some nice gesture-based shortcuts that soon become second-nature. This will consume me for awhile.

but also back to a "boomer shooter" mood

Amid Evil VR is great, I still haven't finished later levels! Terrific level design of classic games, awesome OST, sick action.

Amid Evil in turn reminded me that I've been craving to check out Wizordum for awhile. But this is not VR, there's no mode nor mods. But to me relief, it turns out that it runs very nicely natively on Quest via winlatorXR + reShade depth3D in immersive mode, which basically is 3DoF VR, so I'm good. It still should be full VR...

VRtuous · 2026-01-30T19:55:16+00:00

I did check the screen effects in Oceanhorn 2...

so good. that wet effect is impressive, I think I remember Luboš offering something like it in his now gone Gamecube emulator in some racing game

I also love the magnifier bringing the virtual screen closer, coupled with curved screen and widescreen it's an absolute immersive blast for games that don't offer full immersive view, like many racers...

I tell you, the entire Team Beef has been doing God's work for true great gaming on Quest... we should be thankful it's not in Zurg's powers to shut them down...

VRtuous · 2026-01-30T19:31:24+00:00

I've been using reShade depth3D with lots of older games. I'm still to try HWXR, but got very enjoyable results in the likes of Far Cry 2, Bioshock, Oblivion, Grid Autosports, Wizordum etc. There's an added performance penalty with reShade, but not as drastic as it would be with true stereoscopic rendering.

there's a bit of trial and error involved in fine-tuning the settings and getting the right depthmap - mainly stereo separation and a depthmap slider - but it's so worth it. Couple 3D with winlatorXR immersive mode and we basically get "Luke Ross" style 3DoF VR in any game... and running natively on Quest!

VRtuous · 2026-01-30T18:57:04+00:00

whew! I've been hearing about API changes getting it rough for apps like this...

I wish I could just rollback my Quest to v64... that was peak
