Doom VFR |OT| Go to Virtual Hell!

You will be totally absorbed already with those games, But RE7 is a must buy. Rec room, Batman are also worthy shouts, Even Star Trek if you have a friend with psvr.
i´ve RE7 already but i don´t think i´ll play that in VR xD
I would wait until you have the gun before you get FarPoint. They go hand-in-hand.
If you've ever played the Rocksteady Batman games, get Arkham VR. It's sweet. However, maybe you might want to wait for it to go on sale the whole game is like two hours long.
And I wish PCVR players were given the courtesy to play Skyrim and not have to wait a year for Resident Evil -.-
M-Maybe the fact that WMR is less resource intensive will save my ass in this regard? I really want to play this damn it.
I'm not expecting Capcom to transform RE7 into a robust physics sandbox on the level of Job Simulator, but not having motion controls on such a high profile PCVR game in 2018 would not be a good way to stand out.
Great, gonna download them now.
Can't wait to see what Bethesda VR on PC is like.
Not that I've heard. I think I may just take my chances and in the extremely unfortunate case that support is really bad I'll just get a refund
Holy shit, I just saw that the minimum graphics card spec on Steam is a GTX 1070. I hope my 980ti can run it...
The game runs well on PSVR, so I feel like they're just being overly ambitious w/ the min spec. Luckily I just upgraded to a 1070 to try and future proof my VR pc, I really hope games don't start requiring 1080s til at least Vive V2 comes out.

i think it is rather obvious that it is praised not because it is a good vr game, considering it lacks motion control and room scale. It is released in the early days of PSVR, so it stands out easier and left an impression on the PSVR owners.
But when PC VR already have multiple titles that has matched or surpass RE7 like Lone Echo, Robo Recall etc it will be harder for RE7 VR to stand out next year on PC like you said.

I've played every major VR game on every platform, and I think RE7 is still the best VR game to date, regardless of it's lack of motion controls. It is amazing.
I'd say my top 5 list in order is:
RE7
Lone Echo
Skyrim (with moves)
Elite Dangerous
Budget Cuts
Lol, their FAQs are basically a list of bugs, in question form, with the answer "it's a known issue..." for all of them. Hopefully they'll just fix the bugs instead. Keen to hear some first-hand impressions, Amazon UK shipped my copy today and should arrive tomorrow, hope the others in this thread got the same notification.
Supposedly the game doesn't launch to the main menu with the rift:

So its worth waiting until theres a fix for it, it could be an isolated issue too, will have to wait and see on more rift users that try it out.
EDIT: Yeah, same reports coming from multiple rift users on reddit now too

Glad I did not preorder on GMG or anything.
I'd suspect it was an artificial block if not for the Payday 2 first day issue and the small few OpenVR games that don't work on Oculus (which people have dismissed me on in the past).
Hope it gets sorted out either way.

I don't think it will take long. Payday 2 was fixed a day later, google earth(steam version) originally was done within 24 hours so I don't think Doom will be any different. Still its a shame for those who did want to play straight away.
Damn that sucks for Rift owners. I'd be more surprised if it wasn't for Oculus and Bethesda's relationship. I hope it wasn't intentional though.
And awesome, it doesn't work at all. It doesn't even launch like the Rift owners have. I hate this so much
Like what was the point of this hardware lock that is just going to be bypassed soon anyways? Total waste of time really.
When it is bypassed, are we going to need to do a workaround every time we boot it up or what? Maaaan I shouldn't have gotten myself hyped to play at release
Just set my review live after finishing the game earlier if anyone's interested:
http://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/doom_vfr
I kinda liked it, but none of the control options really fit PSVR properly. The game's built on very strong foundations and it looks stunning even on PS4 Pro (can't imagine how good it looks on PC). But yeah, it just doesn't feel like it was designed with any of the PS4's controllers in mind really, although I did end up playing fine with the DS4 in the end.
Also, here's my PS4 controls video from earlier just in case anyone missed it:
Bethesda's really tried to make DOOM work in virtual reality, but despite supporting all three of PlayStation VR's control options, it doesn't really feel like the title was designed with any of them in mind. That said, if you can ignore the flaws with whichever peripheral you choose, then the over-the-top action of id Software's series translates well, and this is arguably one of the better looking virtual reality titles to date. It's a little on the short side, but the price point reflects that, and the gunplay is still as intense as it's ever been.

When this happened for Google Earth it was just a dll file that you dropped in the game folder.
What was wrong with GMG? Got my key earlier today, plenty of time for preload.
If this is honestly an intentional lockout of the Rift and Windows MR headsets, I will refund my purchase of Doom VR and cancel my preorder of Fallout 4 VR. And yes, I own a vive.
Absolutely no patience at all for this type of bullshit. VR doesn't need this shit. It wasn't cool when Oculus did it, and it sure as shit isn't cool when Bethesda does it.

I'm seeing a lot of questions asking where the locomotion option is. Also bethseda posted this in their FAQ on reddit and on steam 3 hours ago:
If they limited the locomotion to a gamepad, I won't be buying it even if the rift issue is fixed. Anyone playing the game on pc, can you confirm if locomotion is possible with the vive controllers?
Mother. Fucker.
Yeah, I'm playing it now on the Vive and only have this dash... checked all the options several times and nada.
I think I'm going to refund this until A) the rift issue is fixed (and I'm sure it's probably just an accident... or at least, it better be) and B) AL is added either via mod or officially.

Its late and have to be up early but wanted a quick go. Played until the first end of mission screen using the DS4 (batteries on moves needed charging as they ran out playing Skyrim just as it hit 12) and I have to say I'm feeling it so far. At first seeing some arms sticking out from your jaw with the DS4 is a bit strange but once in the action I couldn't care less. Immediately switched to locomotion, smooth turning and made that as fast as possible. Watching some of the videos I thought it would feel quite slow but actually felt quite quick. Don't have an aim but I could imagine it being a lot of fun with that. Visually it looks really good, thought it would have been much worse (on pro) but very impressed.

So some complaints I'm seeing that are common on steam and vive reddit (this is for the pc version):
- Weird angle of the guns (some are describing it like trying to aim with a banana)
- Locomotion seems locked to a gamepad, Its teleport/dash only with the vive controllers (I really don't understand how they came to this decision...)
Also the gun angles are wayyyyyy off with no way to adjust as far as I can tell.
In the options department, aside from graphics this game is sorely fucking lacking

Basically. To compare to Arizona Sunshine, for example, If I shot at that set angle which I feel is about right in this I would be shooting the far ceiling. You have to point it very far down. It's not terrible but JC give us some options here.
