What Virtual Reality games are you playing?

[Ur round next]

Out of curiousity, I tried an hour of Unreal Tournament 3 on bigscreen.
Quite fun but, when I took the glases off, never have my 3x27"screens looked so tiny. Quite a weird feeling

lol yeah my ultra wide monitor looks like a portable TV after coming out of Big Screen lol

Hang on, you can play UT3 in VR ? or you watching a film in VR ?

Just tried propogation. Shouldn't have played it this late, and didn't play for long. Would much prefer to play it 2 player, hate turning around to find a zombie almost on top of me!

yeah that's annoying really, having to turn using the thumb pad, you can probably turn around yourself, but in my small room + cable i'd rather not risk it

I was the same. Didn't want to get snagged in cables. Amazing for free, but very very smart of them to charge for the Coop version!

yep

You can fire up games in Bigscreen and play on whatever size, screen or angle you wish. Really cool for exploiting 3D vision games like Tomb Raider, or playing games in a room with friends or random people.

Just tried Propagation VR for the first time, and it's the scariest zombie game I've ever played. They get right up in your face.
I think I need to try this wireless on the Quest 2 'cause you turn around a lot.

Started Asgard’s Wrath tonight. Genuinely enjoying it a lot!

 

[ShiWarrior]

nice
i play that most nights for about 4 hours

Skyrim VR.

Did a whole lot of work installing mods so feel I need to spend time playing the game. Once you get it setup it's way better than the pancake game and beats the Vanilla VR version easily.

Not playing a huge amount in VR at the moment. Looking for a multiplayer game i guess, but fairly casual.

What a great zombie shooter and free.

It's like having the biggest monitor screen ever

My intention is to see how well old school sim racers (Race 07, GP Legends etc) work on it since my wheel is nowhere near my screens.

Still playing mainly Skyrim VR Ultimate Essentials (crashses a lot) and Alien Isolation with the Mother VR mod (doesn't crash at all but can only play it in short bursts as it's very intense in VR).

Started Asgard's Wrath but can't quite get into it. Have Doom 3 VR and Doom VFR to play as well and still haven't compleyed HL Alyx but I should.

Been playing Phasmaphobia for the last couple of nights. Great game with friends, you can play with or without VR but there are laughs to be had for those playing in VR

I have been really lucky, only had one crash. My battery on the Quest 2 was running really low so I wanted to see could I make it back to Whiterun before it died. I will never know as it crashed just as I was crossing the hill overlooking the Honningbrew Meadery. So close!!

Played Synth Riders for the first time today, a couple of normal, then one on expert. Even though I've only played 3 and I'm not sure if it's the excitement of a new game, but I think I can see myself enjoying it more than Beat Saber.
Songs just flow so well with the hits, the rails are pretty cool, especially with the coordination with both hands when they do their own thing. It just felt overall more involved and enjoyable!

I prefer it too. Get on https://synthriderz.com/ for custom songs.

You can also make your own using "Synth Riders Beatmap Editor" which is free on steam.

I got back into playing Borderlands 2 VR, after having had it for a while.

I'd had had some performance issues (even on a 3090!) and realised it was because supersampling was set at an effective 225% as I had both global steam supersampling and application specific supersampling both on - I didn't realise the two settings were cumulative. Now it's set to 150% and runs very smooth at 90fps.

From a controls and interactions point of view it's a pretty poor VR conversion. The button mappings are all over the place (the UI for your backback is a nightmare, but it wasn't great in the pancake version either). There's no dual wielding, or manual reloading, and the sniper zoom is unusable.

BUT it's still a fun game, and the sense of scale from the environments and enemies is great. As with all the games that I've played before in 2D it's amazing to be standing inside the game rather than watching it, and experiencing the game in a much more immersive way.
