The only thing holding me back from buying the dlc is that I'm hoping for an announcement for the Quest. I don't think we'll get cross buy and I'd rather have everything on that platform if I'm going to get (I'm pretty sure I will).
Yes download the latest release and hit update.
https://github.com/lolPants/modsaber-installer/releases/tag/v1.4.2
It doesn't let you download songs in-game right now but you can still manually download them from beat saver and use the custom songs you already have.
Yeah updated to get existing songs back but not browser
Can I still download with a chrome extension or have to do it manually for now?
Edit: hold on, i'm Using Beat Saber mod installer - latest is for December I think. There are different mod managers? Argh. Anyway I got custom songs back for now
It will be interesting to see what the Oculus Rift S ends up being (to be formally announced next week) : https://uploadvr.com/oculus-email-rift-s/
"Rift S was first revealed in a TechCrunch report in October of last year. The report revealed the headset would be an iterative update, increasing resolution and changing to the same inside-out tracking system as the upcoming Oculus Quest VR console. Last month, we discovered references in the Oculus PC software code to a 'Rift S' with onboard cameras. Our findings also suggest that Rift S will have software-based IPD handling, as opposed to lens separation adjustment found on the current Rift."
Will it include chipset for processing the camera feeds? If not then this device is doomed to be wired. No way there's bandwidth to send camera feeds in both directions. Releasing a wired-only device now seems pretty short-sighted and would signal that Oculus is not taking the PC market that seriously.
If it includes chipset however for internal processing: Will there be a wireless option/add-on from day one?

Kind of want a Rift just so I can play their games more natively without Revive. Very curious to see the real details and price on this. Personally I don't think it will be cheaper though.
I may end up getting both but a little conflicted over whether to get S or Quest depending on how final feature specs end up shaking out on the former. S is certainly looking more tempting if it has inside-out tracking plus a wireless option or add-on.
Also potential Knuckles release (or pre-orders) this week too is making me feel giddy about VR release hype in a way I haven't felt since CV1 for Rift/Vive. That alongside Google console reveal is making for one exciting GDC.

Did you find it odd that every single major player was quoted minus Valve. Joe Ludwig was basically carrying this thing on his back when it first started and there's not a single quote in that press release. Very peculiar to say the least.

Going from OLED -> LCD; 90hz -> 80hz; lesser tracking system; lower quality headphones...
Seems like an out & out downgrade, or rather a lower-end grade. I don't think I'm the target audience at all. Hopefully Oculus has a high end HMD somewhere down the line. But I wasn't one scrabbling for a new headset anyways.

I'll wait until they release a full list of titles that will be cross buy but this makes me a lot more interested in picking up the Quest.
Space Junkies open beta is really fun! I played the closed beta and it's much improved, highly recommend it. People are rating it low because they don't know how to link your ubisoft account...like, just look it up, lol.
Me 1 hour ago: Let's try Knockout League, looks like fun and I could use a workout.
Me now:
What ... the hell ... was I ... thinking?
I legitimately had aches and pains the next day.
Oh sorry my bad, didn't know it was even coming out for PC?
There were hints of it:
https://www.roadtovr.com/borderlands-2-vr-come-pc-headsets-five-months-psvr/
Basically one of the videos showing Borderlands 2 VR had a blurb at the bottom stating it was exclusive to PSVR for a minimum of 5 months from release.
Next day I could barely lift my arms over my head... Next couple of sessions weren't so bad.
I shilled for that game pretty hard while in early access, I absolutely love it and think they did a fantastic job of making a punch out equivalent in VR.
Edit:. Accidentally quoted the wrong post - was meant for Knockout League.
It's a simple shooting gallery where you spend a lot of time holding down the button. I don't think it's good at all. But I love Serious Sam FE & SE...
GDC was a bit of a bummer overall for VR news, the Rift S is a whatever upgrade aside from the inside out tracking inclusion, and outside that HP headset nothing looked that great. We already knew general impressions on the Quest from the last Oculus Connect, and I was hopeful for at least pre-orders to go up for it. Also Valve being MIA yet again for Knuckles or anything VR news related is frustrating. Grain of salt obviously but reading a supposed dev's post in r/vive earlier gave me some hope, they mentioned Knuckles was pretty much in the final phases of testing and outside some breakage issues with straps and clips it's more or less ready for primetime. With Valve though who knows.
It threw me for a loop reading earlier that the last Steam Dev Days was in 2016, and then Valve said something along the lines of "nobody will be disappointed" by what they have to show for the following year's Dev Days wrt the three VR games they'd been working on. Valve Time amirite :/

Personally I'm worried this may be the case, although I'm not sure. I'd suspect the Rift S is a lot more profitable.
They say Oculud Rift S is replacing the Oculus Rift now
Seesm stock is depleting from Oculus too
made a quick overview and impressions video on space junkies open beta was wondering if anyone here has played it and if so what did you think? i really enjoyed my time with the game its very well polished but i certainly hope theres more content at launch, 6 maps is well in the low end if you ask me but over all it felt really polished and more importantly i didnt get any sort of motion sickness playing it
Same as you, I really enjoyed it, but won't buy it unless there is considerably more content. Even if there is more content, the price worries me. Ubisoft doesn't seem to know how to price their VR games; all the successful multiplayer games with decent populations are about 20 bucks and under. I know people don't like microtransactins, but I think they could have struck a better balance. Maybe 20 bucks for the game, and purchasable skins and characters that would otherwise take some time to grind for. At least it's cross-play, that might help considerably.
I also wish the game was at least 6 players. 2v2 works fine, but arena shooters are supposed to be crazy.

the 4 player limit really lets me down and i just found out that the psvr version dosn't support move controllers... so they have to play with dualshocks. i cant imagine thats going to go well with most of the player base there
You can't really project growth for VR from looking at data that currently only reflects 3 year old headsets and their respective price drops and slowly growing libraries. Standalone, wireless, inside out tracking, and bigger games are a necessary step to be able to observe a change in sales data.
Move controllers are a such a blight on PSVR. Shitty tracking aside, if they would have just added analog sticks the games would be much more cross-compatible.
From what I read the DS4 is used as a pointer, and dual wielding is ironically easier because you don't have to bother aiming two hands independently. This isn't the first time an inferior input gets a competitive advantage on console- see gamepads with autoaim.
Skyrim PSVR released in November and PCVR was announced in March and released in April. Since BL2 came out in December I'm guessing it'll be announced next month and release in May.
Not just looking at sales data (which has been and remains not great). Also looking at player engagement data we collect via 5k sample size survey, and even looking at peripheral numbers like Google Trends. Interest peaked in early 2017 and continues to fall off, despite innovations and lower priced headsets entering the market.
Maybe those things you mention will move the needle. Guessing none of those are going to make gaming VR a mass market success. Doesn't mean it can't find a nice niche in the market. Just a whole lot of money still being dumped into gaming VR and I can't figure out why. That money could fund a whole assortment of gaming products that have a higher likelihood of ROI.
Consistency is key. Means my analysis has been on the right track for some time.
