hmmm, I want to test VR but can't really afford it, how good of a PC you would need to use this thing?

You can check by this performance test tool
https://store.steampowered.com/app/323910/SteamVR_Performance_Test/

Minimum specs is a GTX970 , 4GB ram, 1 USB slot, 1 HDMI & display port slot, but you will want better specs to run VR games at better performance

Congratulations you own a VR headset. You can now be in VR Chat 24/7.

Apparently there's a way to get rid of the added motion blur. Top comment here has some details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyS2XVEYLPk

Definitely throw Distance on your wishlist if you don't already have it. That game is really good in VR.

Aztechnology · Mar 4, 2019

I wish you could experience Superhot VR. Is there motion controllers you can pair to something like that separately.

Probably tbh

Bumping this because a friend of mine is offering to sell me his Samsung HMD Odyssey headset; am I correct in assuming this is a quantum leap forward and an easy decision to upgrade? It'll come with the controllers too so I will be able to punch people in the nuts in Superhot VR

I haven't tried the Samsung Odyssey, but it is apparently a great VR headset.

Yes get that, I just got a WMR acer here for super cheap and it is miles and miles better than the Walmart headset.

IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad if you like flight sims. Get a glimpse into the future.

PopsMaellard · Mar 19, 2019

The Oddyssey is great, jump on that for sure. The tracking alone is going to be life changing.

I will freely admit I didn't like that I couldn't move my head forward in the Walmart one

That + the controllers means I can slap someone in the face in VR and that is very appealing to me

hi hello

I bought this (now expired) deal for a VR-Tek VR headset with a 20$ Steam card for 45$ here: https://slickdeals.net/f/12879139-v...ift-card-29-99-44-99-fs?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

It's now here, and besides a few lingering issues (and a hell of a lot of motion blur when I move around) I think this thing is actually usable

So tell me some stuff to try/buy with this Steam card so I can fall into VR hell

Be careful so your eyes don't became like the creature on your avatar!

u haven't lived until you've slapped someone in the face and thrown a chair at them in a VR barfight.

If you get a 6DOF headset like Odyssey:

Superhot
Gorn
Drunken Bar Fight
Creed Rise to Glory
Knockout League

I cannot suggest Beat Saber enough. I have it on PSVR and it was my GotY 2018. I put more damn time in to playing Beat Saber than any other game on my PS4 now.

If you get even a SHRED of enjoyment from rhythm games, buy Beat Saber. I hear the PC version has incredible community support for additional songs, too.

so right now:
Superhot
Drunken Bar Fight
Beat Saber

Any other true showstoppers?

Big Screen Beta might not be completely terrible on a 60hz screen.

If you're looking for a shooter, Pavlov is $10 and is basically counter strike.

Aardvark Barber · Mar 19, 2019

Seriously, the difference between the walmart headset and even the cheapest mixed reality is night and day. Took me ages to find the tiny tiny sweet spot on the walmart headset, takes 2 seconds to get completely immersed in WMR.

SigSig · Mar 19, 2019

Thumper should work well with 3DOF. Not so sure about SUPERHOT. Basically look for seated VR stuff.
Are you into retro games and emulation? Maybe set up a virtual arcade for your emulators in New Retro Arcade, which basically is a 80s arcade hall frontend for your emulators.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a blast with a couple of friends, Polybius is hella dope, too.

B4mv · Mar 19, 2019

Beat Saber is always the right answer.

Hugely. I got a Lenovo - also WMR - for £109 on sale and it's fantastic. On par with Vive/rift in many ways but easier to setup due to internal tracking

When you grab Beat Saber be sure to check out ModSaber. It's super easy to set up.

Yeah not gonna lie the main things for me not getting VR were:

Price (I was thinking PSVR, but still too high)
Setting up those tracker thingies

It's a mod manager that lets you install mods for beat saber with a click or two. It makes updating mods super easy as well. Custom songs, sabers, platforms, and a bunch of new features. Mods make a good game one of the best games.
