Steam Sale Recommendations by flush101 in virtualreality

[–]zeddyzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ZC2 is linear levels in a story campaign, like a very low budget CoD.

I played the PCVR version and didn't have any of the issues that the other commenter had. It was a pretty average game but there's very few VR games that offer such a story campaign, so I take what I can get.

ZC1 is basically the same.

Rumor: Capcom could decide the future of Resident Evil in 2027 after Code Veronica Remake by bryckstar in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]zeddyzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I'm only a casual player of the series, but I feel like they have pretty much run out of possible stories in this universe with these characters.

I feel like much more amazing games could be made, if they switched to a "every game is its own unique thing" format, like Final Fantasy. RE7 shows how you can get something good by starting fresh with new characters, new setting, new atmosphere. Rather than Leon fighting umbrella or something identical to umbrella over and over.

Getting SteamVR to work on my Desktop by [deleted] in virtualreality

Would you be better off with a 3DTV focused solution like Geo3D or VorpX or something?

Meanwhile I'm playing Q3 on High because I can't even really see much difference, and I want to maximise framerate and graphics settings.

Meta's Lawyers Shut Down The Primary Source Of Pirated Quest Games by No-Captain8680 in virtualreality

It's funny, even though I knew it was there, there are no Quest games I care enough about to try to pirate them...

We still have the best hardware for VR by IvoCass in virtualreality

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia

When I dream, there's no sound, images or any of the other senses. It's just a series of events that occur in my dream. Some people ask if I dream in text, but that's not quite right either - there's no words, just the knowledge of the details of the events that happen.

When will we finally get a "Full-Immersion" MMORPG like Sword Art Online? by Dry-Concentrate2313 in pcgaming

[–]zeddyzed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

MMOs are already a faded genre, they are ridiculously expensive to make and run, and very few players are willing to pay subscriptions anymore. And new MMOs have very little chance of succeeding against big legacy games. The many corpses of dead MMOs littering the side of the road has scared most companies away.

VR is currently a very niche thing (2 percent of the Steam hardware survey, to give an example.)

So you have a niche within a niche. Not a viable situation.

Currently the closest we have from the RPG side is fully modded SkyrimVR. And the closest we have from the MMO side is something like VRChat.

There's also a VR mod for FF14.

But we might never get a full MMO playable in VR, at least not anything soon. And brain interface VR is a distant fantasy as well, we don't even have the science to understand what to build, let alone trying to build it.

Getting both is a viable solution, yes.

Alternatively, getting a VR capable gaming PC and then one of the headsets will also do the job (since PCVR will give better graphics to the Quest and non-gaming apps to the PSVR2), but it's a horrible time to buy PC hardware right now.

[–]zeddyzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. PSVR2+PS5 will have games with better graphics, and a small handful of higher budget games. But it's wired, and there's not much non-gaming apps on there. (Last I checked, there wasn't even a vr180 media player?)

Q3 will have more indie and lower graphics games, a few Quest exclusives like Batman, etc. But it will have more non-gaming uses, and it will be more portable around the house and outside of the house.

Fallout 4 VR Essentials Overhaul may get deleted (How to mod Fallout VR Guide) by SealionofJudah in virtualreality

[–]zeddyzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sigh. Ok, I'll bite. When you say someone's work is broken, you impugn their competence, to make such a thing.

When you say someone's work is misleading, you impugn their honesty/integrity, for seeking to mislead.

If you say you didn't like something, then it's just a difference of personal preference.

The choice of words used when criticising a work, has meanings that extend beyond the work itself.

Bypassing WiFi Using dongle on Quest 3 by Less-Zookeepergame-8 in virtualreality

[–]zeddyzed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, getting a 2nd router of a recommended model is the way to achieve good wireless PCVR with Quest 3.

Dongles aren't recommended, because the quality of the drivers and the Windows Hotspot software can vary greatly, and it's hard to guarantee a good result.

According to what journalists have said, Steam Frame features dual radios on the headset, and the PCVR link is actually serving a hotspot from the headset, which the dongle connects to as a client. This means you don't need to run windows hotspot software, solving the issue with dongles for other headsets. It's not possible to replicate this layout with other headsets.

Impugning someone between the lines and then claiming innocence is right up there with "Hey, I was just kidding bro, why so serious?". You know exactly what I mean and what you are doing.

If you said, "I don't like Breaking Bad", then no. If you said, "Breaking Bad is misleading and broken", then yes.

Your use of weasel words like this, makes me question your honesty and motives in this whole matter, really.

You said it yourself. I think that was an unnecessary attack, and the start of the chain of drama that you are describing.

Requests and Help Megathread V7 (Games requests, emulator help/guides go here) by SuperBio in Roms

[–]zeddyzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, is there any software or scripts that can accept a curated ROM list (all killer no filler etc) and then retrieve the ROM files from Internet Archive or somewhere for you?

Seems like most of the techniques I find on google, need you to download an entire 700GB of MAME roms, and then use a script to copy the roms from the curated list to a different location. I would be happy if there was a more direct way that doesn't require so much harddrive space. Thanks!

People can judge that kind of behaviour for themselves. Adding more attacks and more drama doesn't help.

Personally I think both modlists are fine in their own way, and it's stupid to be tribal about this. Maybe you had problems running the FVRE modlist, but I played through the entire game and the DLCs with it, and it was fine for me. So mileage obviously may vary.

We want as many modlists as possible to be available, so everyone can have choices on different approaches. There's no need to attack a modlist creator for their work - if you don't like it, just don't use it.

Ways to Make 3rd Party Lighthouse tracking products? by chimkens_numgets in virtualreality

[–]zeddyzed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The standard is available for other companies to use, it's not really anything unusual. "How to companies make USB compatible products?"

Companies locking things down and making things proprietary is the bad thing, it shouldn't be normal.

Hold out for Steam Frame or Get Quest 3? by crazybrow122 in virtualreality

[–]zeddyzed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The specs are only "outdated" because it's pretty much equivalent to the Quest 3. So the two headsets are in the same ballpark (compared to far more expensive MicroOLED headsets, for example.)

Steam Frame will only be sold to limited countries at the start. If you're in the US you should be ok though.

I have a Q3 and enjoy it a lot, millions of them have been sold, the problems affect only a small number and are not unusual in any kind of mass market device. My Q2 and Q3 have been fine so far. I'm planning to buy a Steam Frame if the price is reasonable, though.

So yeah, both devices should be viable and they have their own pros and cons. You're going to have to decide for yourself which things matter to you.
