Farlands - free game from Oculus Studios they haven't shown before:
http://uploadvr.com/farlands-review-rift-launch/

Too lazy to go through all of them - any reviews with LFS?

Quote from Flame CZE :

any reviews with LFS?

There won't be any until Scawen updates LFS to Oculus SDK v1.3 and that should happen soon.

Only one opinion, But Rock,Paper, Shotgun are usually fairly well researched and this is after playing for over a week.
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/03/28/oculus-rift-guide/

"But the absolute worse thing is that after prolonged use – say five hours non-continuous use in a single day – I had sore eyes and a later a splitting headache. I’d compare the feeling in my eyes to the same I get after watching long 3D movies with 3D glasses; the feeling that my eyes are physically tired after hours of focusing and strain. In fairness to the Rift, I experienced the exact same feeling after prolonged use with the Vive. This may prove to be a software issue, and may grow better as developers get better at avoiding the headset’s weaknesses, but it seriously reduces my desire to use any virtual reality headset when there is a chance, however small, that I’ll have to lie down in a dark room for the remainder of the day afterwards."

"The Oculus Rift does not come with its motion controllers, which means it can never feel so natural. It’s also not designed for ‘room-based’ experiences, which means that you’re met with an awkward compromise (and awkward controls) when playing a game like Farlands. It feels less like being embodied in a world than being emheaded.

None of the games I’ve yet played in the Rift have felt like they were improved by being in virtual reality, in fact. "

"At the very least, I don’t think it will feel worth owning till it has software by designers who have worked out how best to make use of it. None of the games available yet offer a compelling reason to put on the headset with all its myriad downsides, because they don’t fully make use of its upsides.

Yet it does have upsides. The Oculus Rift, like the HTC Vive, feels like a first step, but it’s a strong first step. I’m still convinced that virtual reality will find its place alongside traditional games. I will experiment with it more, and look forward to using it in slower, cockpit-based games like Euro Truck Simulator 2. But unless that £800 in your pocket is really burning a hole, you’d be best waiting till at least the autumn to see what quality of games have come out for it, and probably even until there’s a second or a third iteration of the technology."

Still betting I'll be happy I took the plunge. Sounds like maybe he was expecting too much and that's the first time I've read about any discomfort of that sort.(edit: though I've only been keeping an occasional ear to the tracks) Then again, I can play games in 3D Vision for hours and it doesn't bother me at all, I personally find my eyes more strained when they have to keep focal depth AND convergence point locked all the time on a 2D monitor like at work - tired eyes at the end of the day, but roaming around in high depth 3D in The Witcher 3 does not bother me.

I'm mostly pumped about using AC, ETS2, ATS, LFS with it anyway - driving sims are probably the most suited thing to it at this point so as long as that works OK for me great - if I enjoy everything else it has to offer then all the better. Guess I'll find out in a couple(ish) weeks.

Was this posted yet? http://vr.mkeblx.net/oculus-sim/
Simulates view through the various VR headsets, can compare resolutions.

I think these "helmet-cam" videos maybe give idea of things to come? They are not from videogames but they might as well be.
It shows how drivers/drivers move their view around.

Try to do this with fixed forward view, without ability to move your head:

For games that simulate such situations VR will not only be about better imersion or graphics, but actually give an advantage.
All the reviews totally miss that. They test with jump&run games or such, that feels like playing Starcraft or Counterstrike to test gamepads.

These things are cool. No way I'd shell out what they want for it, but Man! I haven't tried LFS, but I have played a racing game. Roller Coaster sims. That is insane. If any of you get one of these things, try to watch a roller coaster sim standing up. Think of what you could do with one of these gadgets and hypnosis.

New Google headset announced!

That's virtually real reality!

Pre-ordered 2, I like this radical but natural design!

Quote from Racer X NZ :

Only one opinion, But [...] third iteration of the technology."

To be honest, I can't currently see the point of it outside of racing sims, where it has become as essential as a force-feedback wheel now. My dad was initially sent ill by the thing, and for the last 6-8 months, he's on it for hours every week without issue. But all the other little demos and things we tried got old fast.

I'll go for the pink headset, guess it will help me to find something positive in my virtual reality...

You have this?

We need support in LFS for the Plastic Google Cardboard as soon as possible!

Easy feature for next Test-Patch. There is not much to be done to support it.

Quote from Scawen :

It looks legit, but as soon as I saw the video, I thought it must be April 1st.

I'll be glad to be wrong, though



Eric

@Victor & Scawen: we know it's you guys posting from Eric's account

I knew it's april fools but you still got me. For a second I thought it's actually Eric casually posting on the forums

Er, yeah. let's not derail the topic to patronise the old joke that I never post. It's pretty boring now to be honest.

I feel your pain Eric, tried to create a fictional track for another game and it's not a fast task at all....

Just tell Scawen to hurry and make some progress on multilayers texturing and track shaders .

So let me get this straight, LFS is sticking with DX 9, still supporting Windows XP, and still waiting on physics. But, it does support, VR, because those who cannot afford to upgrade from XP or buy a decent GPU can surely afford to buy an accessory that costs well over 500 in most currencies.

Good game, LFS Devs win. Happy April 1st. LFS = Worlds longest April fools joke?

Turtles reproduce 10 times faster than LFS is developed.

Why did you then bought the s3 ?

That's a proof of support from you, nice try for a joke.

It was meant as an inocent (albeit not original) joke . Sorry.

And isn't it ironic? Don't ya think?
