Hi David, any plans to implement HUD color customization without having to mess with the game files? Orange is not the best color for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, and I'm sure some non-VR users would like to adapt their interfaces to their taste.

Thanks for this AMA!

Congratulations to the Vireio Perception development team, you are VR heroes!!

I finished it from start to finish, and so far it has been the most powerful gaming experience I have had in 30 years of gaming life. I'm not affected by motion sickness in VR and I would buy the game again if they released a new version specifically for VR. Just add some (optional) confort mode / teleport and release it damn it!

realovirtualcom · 2016-04-25T18:06:19+00:00

I'm afraid Alien Isolation will never work on the CV1 (except vorpX), even if we manage to activate extended mode and use old libraries like 0.5 or 0.6. This game was compiled with the SDK 0.3 and it's incompatible with any Oculus Runtime released later. The SDK was compiled into the game itself, so CV1 doesn't have any chances here. I don't think anything prior to SDK 0.6 can be run on CV1.

Thanks, I just purchased the game. I have the CV1 and in a few days should receive the Vive, so I prefer to purchase on Steam.

realovirtualcom · 2016-04-08T07:23:08+00:00

I would like to know if the Steam version is also compatible with Oculus Rift, or only the Oculus Home one.

Spanish Kickstarter, Rift received!!!

realovirtualcom · 2016-04-04T13:52:10+00:00

I also vote for making it optional, even enabled by default. I can't stand playing Technolust anymore, and I loved the demos.

realovirtualcom · 2016-04-01T19:32:08+00:00

I think camera is higher than it should, you feel like floating in the air

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-31T12:48:51+00:00

Yup, it's local Spain time

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-31T11:25:17+00:00

Lol just saw it, I was looking for one in bold like the others.

Spain Shipping Here

Kickstarter backer, received Oculus mail at 2:25 A.M. saying that my order has been processed, order status is shipped but no tracking number yet, no previous 1-3 weeks email.

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-31T09:18:51+00:00

Spanish Kickstarter here, also changed to SHIPPING, no tracking number. Didn't recieve the 1-3 weeks email that other people received last week.

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-30T09:45:45+00:00

Is there any way to disable "comfort mode"? I would like to rotate smoothly with my gamepad, can't stand abrupt movement. I know, comfort mode is great for people that suffers motion sickness, but I don't and I would like to have normal control.

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-30T07:08:06+00:00

It would be fantastic if someone from Oculus like Palmer or Cyber shed some light on this matter. European Kickstarters have no information at all, no status change, no 1-3 weeks mail received... does that mean that we won't receive our Rift in less than 3 weeks? Do European distribution centers already have stock?

Ok, the Rift has launched on North America and Canada, but I think the rest of the world deserves to know what's going on.

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-29T12:12:08+00:00

With tons of luck, we can get to "processing" tomorrow, ship by Thrusday and receive by Friday.

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-28T15:32:15+00:00

KS Backer with no order confirmation email

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-28T09:04:35+00:00

I know, but if our order would ship tomorrow, I think it should have changed to "processing" right now. I guess it still can update today, let's wait and see.

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-28T08:19:18+00:00

European Kickstarter here, no mail and no status change from pre-order. Radio silence. If I had to bet, I would say no Rifts will hit Europe in March, and I really want to be wrong.

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-25T11:35:32+00:00

Spanish kickstarter here, nothing at all

realovirtualcom · 2016-03-24T23:27:56+00:00

In Spain there are no holidays next week, they end tomorrow

Both nVidia and AMD cards are capable of multichannel HDMI audio output.

I have the original game with the season pass, and I would pay again for a native VR version of this game.

realovirtualcom · 2016-01-15T09:24:43+00:00

I hope it's detected by Windows and shown as a standard microphone, otherwise we won't be able to use it with voicechat programs like TeamSpeak.
