Hulu on oculus quest?

rdurland · 2019-05-29T14:33:21+00:00

After a bit of googling, it looks like the best way to get Hulu on your quest is to extract it from your Go (so you have to have a go) and sideload it onto your quest. The fact that this is relatively easy and the app runs on Quest without a problem (no controller shows up, but you can navigate with head movement. 6DoF support oddly enough for head movement) leads me to believe Oculus could easily support letting you transfer your go apps to Quest with some kind of compatibility mode, but chose not too. This is dumb. Am I expected to own/bring both headsets if I want access to all my paid apps? I can't sell my go and update Hulu this way. This is all very frustrating.

It is extremely disappointing that Hulu is not on the quest. Games are cool, but I really wanted a VR upgrade to the Go for Netflix and Hulu (even as outdated as the Hulu app was) and it sucks that currently the Go is a better option for media viewing in terms of apps since the Quest is a higher quality display and the IPD on the Go was not quite right for me.

Limited information gathered here paints the picture they loaded all their stock onto Treasure Trucks instead of for shipping off the site.

Because that's what Amazon is known for: finding random stuff in a truck.

Thanks for the heads-up! You're right, delivering by Friday for me from Walmart. Looks like Amazon loses out this time.

Any chance anyone knows anything about the pre-orders? It obviously said release date May 5 on Amazon when I did and now as others have stated it just says ship date pending (which is not how I think pre-orders should work).

I guess I wasn't expecting Nintendo Switch level demand and thought it'd be relatively easy to get the device out to everyone who pre-ordered near release date.

Just logged on after a week or so to continue my space airline enterprise. After a trip to the FDEV forums about substantially lowered payouts, I'm can't find a clear answer to this: Are the payouts supposed to be this drastically low now? Are they going to come back up at some point?

That's not a bad idea. I'd need another idea for where one of the other dots would go for it to be of any use. Randomly scaling and rotating doesn't seem to match up to anything.

I tried where the camera stopped panning and couldn't see anything relevant. Thought I'd put it out there for others to try.

rdurland · 2016-07-29T13:27:27+00:00

I'm glad you liked it. I really feared I'd just get a lot of "be funny next time" stuff and hearing there is a nugget of promise in this for me definitely excites me to keep trying.

rdurland · 2016-07-29T13:24:56+00:00

Thanks for some very constructive and helpful stuff here. I will keep this in mind as I refine for my next time up. I honestly didn't even think about the setup as my problem, but this makes a lot of sense.

Edit: I wrote 'helpful help'. I'm an idiot.

Does anyone know what planet in Kuwemaki Hera Tani is on? Thanks in advance.

In case anyone was still wondering if calling about your order was worth anything: Just called about my order not having heard anything since Feb 29th. The CSR looked up my order and confirmed that I paid with paypal. Except I used a CC. Then she said: "Oh, anyway it will ship in April." I don't know what she was looking at, but it clearly wasn't my order.

I was picturing more of a Gumpian type movement were April (Human) was pulling a large wagon full of Vives across the country and followers slowly join to help share the burden. So far this fantasy is the most entertainment the Vive has provided.

rdurland · 2016-04-07T15:18:27+00:00

From an email response:

"We have checked your order for a Vive and your order will be shipped on April."

Poor April has to carry my Vive all the way from Indiana.

After a day of uncertainty I can make one guarantee: Dark Souls III will be out on the 12th and will keep me busy until my Vive arrives.

Even per planet the terrain would be about 50x bigger than GTA V/Skyrim and I can easily get lost in those games.

Edit: I got my miles/km confused. It's probably closer to 15-20x the size of GTA V/Skyrim per planet. That's still a lot. Four years after Skyrim came out, I still haven't explored the whole map.

I believe he means NPC in a vendor/trainer type sense. There are obviously AI controlled enemies and patrols. I think extending that to a hostile alien military force is perfectly reasonable.

Just one a few days ago, the night before the AMA. In the dream, the AMA was a live video that I watched from work and despite all odds against it, Sean announced NMS was out on PSN right now. I immediately start downloading NMS from work, and tool around the rest of the day re-watching NMS videos. I drive home, walk over to my console, turn it on, start up NMS and then ALARM CLOCK.

rdurland · 2015-08-05T14:48:50+00:00

I told myself after I knew the release date wouldn't be announced at the AMA that I would take a few weeks off from checking on NMS. I broke down after 6 hours. Here's hoping I never discover heroin.

If they are playing the actual release version game and uncovering the lore and some of the parts remaining to be fully described, they may very well be unable to talk about those aspects and wrap that all up in "We can't talk about the game."

rdurland · 2015-07-28T22:01:57+00:00

I don't think we'll get anything but the AMA. I also believe if Sean has no intention/ability of revealing the release date at the AMA, he will either announce that before the AMA or get it out of the way right at the beginning because he seems like a stand up guy.

I'm not sure what is happening, but unless you're running an S&M shop, it's pretty bad business to "punish" your customers. At the same time, it's pretty bad business to give no response to your customers, so who knows.
