SBS 3D Games

Can anyone tell me the best way if there is one to get games that support SBS in the game it's self to work in 3D on the Vive, I'm thinking Crysis 2 more than anything.

But SBS 3D isn't VR. Let's be clear about this. You can see like movies in 3D SBS but any time you move your head you'll get nauseated because the image won't move with you.

This isn't like seeing them on a tv, monitor or cinema because the image stays still on the front while you move, with the HMD this won't happen and it won't feel natural. And I'm talking movies, imagine in a game where you have to move your player. It will be unplayable.

But responding to your question only game that supports sbs like you ask is HL2, you throw your game to the other "screen" that is the HMD (disabling direct mode) and then the game is split in half, one for each eye, but this is some kind of VR, as the movement of your head in the HMD will move the view of your player.

Yeah I know it's not VR, I just wanted to get Crysis 2 running in 3D on a big screen in front of me through VR, just as a curiosity more than anything, also I don't suffer from any kind of nausea or motion sickness never have in VR or life.

There are a few games not many though that have SBS built in to the game.

I am nausea resistant, but on VR the effect is strong. I was thinking about VorpX. That (paid) app let's you play lots of games that are not designed for VR on a HMD. If you have the means to buy it you should try crysis with that.

Good Luck!

I could check if Crysis2 works on VorpX in 3D (theater)

But it's going to impact the performance a lot.

Yeah might try Vorpx, here hit and miss stories about it though, does it update often? Just wondering how much there putting into it.

[RED-FROG]

VorpX is basically a waste of money. you cant play any game serious with it. Only peaking what it would be like.... but often with a lot of flaws to deal with. Bad HUD , cant read text, broken menus, weapons/hands stuck to camera etc etc.

HL1 for example can be played with VorpX but it is MUCH better to just use Valves native VR support.

It doesn't update at all...
30 or 40 dollar for something like this is a bad joke. But I've forgotten about my mistake. lol

Ahh think ill skip that one then, shame on paper a good idea.
