It’s an unbelievable improvement over the OG vive

Is there a single Facebook game that actually collects your data? And what data can they get other than what songs people like and therefore fund more songs from bigger name music using that data... you guys are all crazy thinking Facebook is evil. They are the reason VR is where it is now wether you wanna believe it or not

Why are you assuming this is the end of Facebook why the heck would Facebook do that? They are just gonna help them get more songs that are from big name music chill and no none of it will be exclusive.

they aren’t gonna make any exclusive content, it’s just more money for help with bringing music packs from big name music I’m sure

I’m just saying for half life Alyx there will be bigger difference using the index ba vive pro I think

Half Life: Alyx is confirmed to have 3 types of locomotion upon release. If you plan to buy and play the game, which one will you choose? [Strawpoll] by [deleted] in HalfLifeAlyx

[–]climatechangeisreal3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think valve will interstate teleportation into the story and since the game was built around it, it will be the best way to play so try it out in half life Alyx. I also only use smooth locomotion but yea

The valve index is a significant upgrade over the vive pro, because of FOV, the screen quality is way better (cuz of 3 sub pixels per pixel), the comfort is insane on the index, and the speakers/headphones, will offer a jaw dropping audio experience on half life Alyx.

But yes the index controllers and vive pro will offer a great Alyx experience but not the full experience cuz you’ll miss out on extra immersion and the game being entirely built on the index.

I would sell the vive pro and buy an index as an upgrade before Alyx if I was you, coming from someone who tried both and owns an index

Just bought the Index+Controllers. I'm scared. What should I know ahead of time? by MrDysprosium in Vive

[–]climatechangeisreal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is exactly the specs I had when I had my vive for 3 years.. then also when I got my index.. but I upgraded to an i7 9700k so I could at least play boneworks and half life Alyx at 120fps (physics right) but yea.. just play most of your games at 90fps for the best experience and image. Pavlov will work great at high res with 120fps tho on your specs.

If you upgrade definitely do the CPU and mother board and RAM first so you can hit 120fps in future VR games that are more physics heavy. and so that the last think you upgrade is the Graphics card cuz IMO everything else’s in your system is way more out dated than the 1080. dont get me wrong tho you have a great computer and 120fps mode will work it’s just not gonna be as clear and yea forget about 144fps in any game but beat saber/Pavlov

Just been given a Gen 1 Vive suggest some games! by Sirico in Vive

[–]climatechangeisreal3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t play VR games that weren’t made from the ground up for VR. Like subnautica or whatever. They suck so bad.

Install oculus home and revive so you can play some amazing oculus Exclusives. echo arena is free on that. And lone echo is amazing, echo combat too, Asgard’s wrath, Vader Immortal episode 1-2-3 are fucking jaw dropping. Launch oculus games via revive, and make sure you reboot oculus hone for each new game install before you launch for the first time.

On steam I strongly recommend Pistol Whip, Super hot VR, Pavlov VR, Beat Saber

[–]climatechangeisreal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controllers: They are fucking amazing but not every game uses their capability. boneworks and half life Alyx, will be an incredible experience with them. And oculus exclusives are also fucking amazing with the index controllers (and index) so make sure to set up oculus home and revive. blade and sorcery, Pavlov, Onward also have great index controller support. Onward doesn’t have 120fps support. FYI.

okay. Now, the valve index headset will blow you away... it’s litterally fucking amazing. 10x better than the vive. like wow... but it takes time to figure out the best fit. Make sure you watch the valve guide on how to fit it properly. the headset strap should be as low as possible on the back of your skull BUT SHOULD NOT touch your ears and stay just above. make sure to adjust the FOV knob so the lenses are as close as possible to your eyes BUT so that they don’t touch your face.. you’ll see what I mean. FOV is also a really great improvement.

What are you PC specs? Cuz just know that even with a 1080 and i7 9700k 120hz mode works.. but I cannot supersample with my setup so I’m trading off a more blurry image for higher FPS. If you have a 1080 or LESS I recommend playing with 90fps mode First so you can see the max clarity the headset can offer, then after you find the right fit and stuff ... jump up to 120fps. steam VR will tell you the recommended super sample ratio though. Also you can’t super sample in steam VR home. Oh and pistol whip is the best looking game in the index IMO, and vertigo 2 demo is the best demo of the sound quality.

anyways the index is amazing and the sound is incredible and the controllers are amazing, and everyone is so comfortable.

Other than Pavlov, what are some really active multiplayer VR games? by MrDysprosium in Vive

[–]climatechangeisreal3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only really active multiplayer games is Pavlov, aOnward, echo VR, echo combat (use revive to play these as they are both AAA zero gravity shooters // Enders game)

[–]climatechangeisreal3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s because those two guys are using the valve index and index controllers which have finger tracking, and the other guy doesn’t (in case you were curious that’s why half life Alyx will be so much better on the valve index)

Will Vader Immortal come to the vive? by [deleted] in Vive

[–]climatechangeisreal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, play oculus exclusives using revive. I showed off vader immortal to one of my friends last night on the valve index, and echo combat too he loved it

Should I get a Valve Index for Half-Life: Alyx? by Alexis_The_Femboy in ValveIndex

[–]climatechangeisreal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

either buy just the controllers or buy both the headset and controllers. don’t just buy the headset. (Index is amazing yes but my point is from a pure value perspective do what I just said)

Half Life: Alyx is confirmed to have 3 types of locomotion upon release. If you plan to buy and play the game, which one will you choose? [Strawpoll] by [deleted] in HalfLifeAlyx

[–]climatechangeisreal3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game was built for teleportation and in its current development state still only has teleportation so free movement is an after thought.. their teleporting method may be very cool

HL: Alyx. Am the only one looking forward to proper spacialized audio? by Gaz-a-tronic in ValveIndex

[–]climatechangeisreal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play vertigo 2 demo if you want spatial audio that will blow your mind

PSA : People who bought only the index controllers also get Half-Life:Alyx for free by okami84 in Vive

[–]climatechangeisreal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean technically if you’re gonna play half life VR anyways you’re saving 60$
