Doesn't sound like you got far through Astro Bot. It only gets better as time goes on. I'd advise you play more of the game before making a judgement.
Just FYI: Moss, Superhot and Beat Saber are all on the Oculus Quest too.
Finished it. Why do people assume I didn't? Because I didn't think it was the second coming of Christ? It was solid.
With sufficiently high pixel density (the so called retina-DPI to borrow Apple's PR) you wouldn't need mechanical adaptation as it could be done entirely in software (eye-tracking sensors are already low-latency enough to accomodate for eye movement). Though anything that involves eye-tracking may have other problems.
There may well be other issues at hand as well. While 90hz refresh (or 75/below for mobile headset users) is sufficiently high to alleviate discomfort for most part, it's not enough to fool everyone's brain equally (and I'd even argue as you get accustomed to it, that barrier rises). FOV restrictions also have a variable effect on the perceived sense of presence, and obviously so does the pixel density. All of these are probably going to be solved earlier than variable FOV though.
Oculus Go? It's only 3DoF.... Of course it's a bit underwhelming. You need to get a 6DoF headset.
The part where you said it would work as a non-VR game. It would be extremely different.
I don't think anyone would seriously agree with you. The developers themselves said it would never be as good if they made a spinoff without VR.
I know I'm the outlier here, but to me it's painfully obvious it would absolutely be possible. I just can't agree with you guys. But it's clear we'll never see eye to eye on this matter so I think I'll just leave the thread, I feel like I'm in bizarro world anyway.
What about Beat Saber? Would you say that would be as fun without VR? If so, then it probably means you're not getting anything from the immersive nature of VR.
Most of the games you played are static sit-down experiences aside from Superhot. Most of the best PSVR exclusives fall in to that category.
If they were getting it for the rate I did during the Kickstarter I'd say absolutely. But I think they are priced too high now. Especially with the Index realistically doing 120° probably and 120-144hz low persistence. Either way though the Vive ecosystem is a good choice. Especially if you can pick up an original Vive from someone on the cheap.
With some adjustments sure, it's possible. But kind of like how Rock Band is possible with a regular controller. It could be done but wouldn't be as fun and would be sort of missing the point.
You should be fine if your IPD is correct, you are running at 90 FPS, and all movement is done via your body. So games like Beat Saber, Moss, and SuperHot should be fine.
Lol.
after VR there is no telling who we are anymore. I'm Ethan, you're Ethan.
