The game always felt it was meant to have VR support with the gesture support & images, and now it has it. The mechanics, no joke, felt ready for VR, and now it has it. They were also fiddling with NMS when I last noted it earlier in this thread.
https://www.roadtovr.com/five-nights-freddys-vr-land-major-vr-headsets-april-trailer/?platform=hootsuite
Releasing on all platforms of VR for you to enjoy in all its jumpscaring glory. Note: Horror games are far scarier in VR than they are in desktop mode because of how immersed you are.

It's a good time to go VR :)

Valve is releasing Valve Index VR headset in a similar light to HTC Vive (PRO) while also being able to mix and match accessories between the two brands. It's supposed to be a high quality headset aiming for the higher end of the VR experience allowing you to see and do things on a higher side of things.
The controllers are also seem well designed with the grips holding your hand onto the controller. Everything is also backwards compatible so you can play every game before it.
I honestly want to upgrade to this Valve Index headset hoping the Valve Index has non-tangling headset cable. The one on the Oculus Rift is a nightmare. It's an absolute nightmare wondering how Valve made their main headset cable.
I'm hearing only good things about this headset so far.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryvsAjCaKKk
Oculus Quest has released gaining high praise from everybody. It may indeed be limited, yet highly accessible making it the "Go to" headset for your quick VR fun. You can even hook it up to battery packs for longer play time, and etc, allowing for VR play anywhere, on a flight, and in general.
I'm also planning to pick up the Oculus Quest so I can play Beat Saber, VRchat, and etc with ease for when it's too humid for standard VR Oculus Rift usage. Great for the summer, great for pick-up-and-play fun, among other things.
If Rising World ever goes VR, Oculus Quest "may" be the ideal device to play it on, unless we gain further generations of cordless VR devices to do such. Oculus Quest gains my support by having 64GB & 128 GB of space, whic was noted to be enough size for your gaming needs.

Surprisingly, Spice and Wolf VR surprisingly is going to release on Nintendo Switch and Oculus Quest for some more VR fun. It's making itself highly accessible allowing numerous of people to enjoy their content.
Good time to grab an Oculus Quest to have your fun in VR. Everybody who tries it keeps praising it highly.

'Viva Dev' is an indie game adding Shinobu (Vampire loli) from the Bakemonogatari Anime series as something 'cute' for VR. It's meant to be light hearted, fun, and interactive allowing you to hang around with Shinobu doing cute things. You can headpat her, make her angry, feed her donuts, hand her items (she also grabs items from you), can be given a bath, shall eventually sleep, among other fun cool stuff. Even able to change clothing style.
New updates shall even allow you to have her take pictures, go fishing, and day night cycles, among more. It's constantly being updated so keep a close eye on it.
----------
This game is insanely adorable that "we" love it. People I shared it to love it, it's adorable, and it also makes nice use of VR to allow you to interact with NPC characters. The AI reacts nicely to your gestures, does their own thing, and shall also eventually allow for other models to swap with Shinobu. You can play the game for free, or you can even purchase it at whatever price you desire; The higher the price, the more you'll get out of it.
This is a must play game just to have fun chillin' in. You can relax, have fun, and just be "goofy" heh. To those that may find it "creepy", it honestly isn't. It's simply free, something you'll find most games struggle with because everything has to be "offensive" (look for my 'Butt kissing" thread for examples). In a world where you're not allowed to express yourself, this game honestly needs to be supported and cherished <3
Reminds me of the AI in Illusion game games such as Artifical Girl, Artifical Academy, & Koikatsu. Basic, yet lively. They do their own thing.
-------
Side-Note - To run the game you have to add it to your steam library then run it using SteamVR while it's running. It's what is noted, thus do it that way, unless otherwise specified.
Been out of the loop because of how hot and humid its been. I also am highly HIGHLY agitated that Oculus once again blocked me out from using my Oculus Rift. I can say (without a doubt) that it's their software application just blocking my headset after a few days of inactivity.
'No HMDI Connection'
All the usual tricks just don't work. The unplugging & plugging things in, manually checking through all the USB in device manager, the rebooting of the application, among other things. Nothing wants to work, except for the Nvidia update. I have to wait 14 f***** days for my Oculus Rift to function again.... Half a month, each and every time.
I'm not the only one that has this issue so I can vent freely. I paid $700 CAD back in December of 2017 and it STILL works fine. A few mishaps here and there, BUT IT STILL WORKS. It's only an artificial error on THEIR end, not mine.
Maybe it is my error, yet I haven't been able to pin it down. It always leads to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless (and narcistic) Oculus Application you which you need to boot the damn thing up with. I'd rather boot up using SteamVR, not Oculus Program.
----------------------
Don't let my vent scare you. Even with these issues, you'll still have a wonderful time. You'll still have fun gesturing in VR, exploring worlds, playing VRchat, and etc. If you know where to look, you'll have fun in VR. The magical moments I've had in VR (and VRchat) outweight any cons I had, except for this crippling issue. Can't play if your headset won't run......
If you want to get an Oculus Quest, get one. Same with the Rift S, the Valve Index, and etc.. Just know what you're getting into. RESEARCH! People buy blindly and that's their fault, then they whine on the forums that crap hit the fan. They didn't bother to find proper sources and information. Screw them, this is you. You have fun with VR leaving those brainless fools in the dust.
I want to play VR! I want to hang out with my friends in VRchat.
Oculus, get your childish nonsense in order and allow me to play in VR again. Allow me to have fun playing VRchat, among other games.......
------------------
I"m genuinely livid right now........ Venting on all my channels...... Twitter, Discord, Steam activities page, Tumblr..... Everywhere. A $700 Canadian shouldn't be artificially blocking me from playing games.
I also updated Shinobu Project to be called 'Viva Dev' because of their name change. They constantly update on a regular basis. View previous posting.
I did try a cheap headset once before but it was like looking at a 50 inch TV from about 100 feet away down a dark tunnel. My 3D shutter glasses and 21 inch 120Hz monitor gave me incredible 3D that made me feel like I could put my hand behind things on screen, but it was simply looking out of a window with a limited view. A full surround vision would be nice but, having been let down by so-called "advanced tech" before, I don't feel comfortabe parting with that sort of cash just to look at it once and then have it gather dust forever more.
You also have to consider that VR games with good quality graphics are very thin on the ground right now. Many VR games have cartoon graphics (much like Astroneers) and they really don't appeal to me at all. At this early stage and given processing power of modern PC's, I don't expect graphics to leave me feeling like I'm standing in a forest for real, but something like the graphics of the mid to late 90's would be good. Something like the RW graphics or even down a bit to Wurm graphics.
They're there, you have to look. They're there waiting for you to play them, you just need to find them. I've caught people in VR threads not openly looking for them while being lazy to the core. People don't look so they don't find them. It's like people standing at the door of a retail shop complaining they can't find what they need when they should walk into the damn store to seek them out. I've done it, I've linked games. Just need to go exploring. I've caught many people indenial not doing the same thing whining "VR is a gimmick" and etc. Just to clarify, I'm not calling you lazy... Or implying it. I'm just saying in a semi-venting manner.
VRchat is my 'go to" game (main game) because of how many genres of VR worlds there are in there. It's like a tech demo showing what VR is capable of and people are insanely skilled. They should be making their own VR game. There are some worlds which are hyper realistic, others simply "realistic", and others scanned. Then there are the cartoon ones, and then the joke ones for humour effects. VRchat is what you make of it, and I love it. Though, I do tend to branch out to other games when able.
Pavlov, Gargantia, Arizona Sunshine, Blade & Sorcery, among others. I want to play the games people claim to dislike because they're genuinely awesome. Just need Oculus to stop holding my headset hostage......
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1073390/Aircar/
A tech demo of VR from 2017 showcasing what VR is capable of. Shows you how to fly a futuristic flying behicle while also being scenic. It's more of a "chill" game. A tech demo. If you're new to VR, try this. I stumbled across this (oblivious) because a friend of mine favourited it on Steam.
This is one such thing which you can find in VRchat, and vice-versa.
Seeing latest tech, I am very surprised at the sheer size of these headsets. There are companies working on developing a contact lens that can handle a screen so you can overlay a full screen of data on the real world like a cyborg.
https://edgy.app/sony-video-contact-lens
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_contact_lens
If a video screen can be put on a contact lens with tech we have now, What the hell happened when they developed VR? They should have been able to put full VR into something the size and weight of a pair of wrap-around sunglasses EASILY. Especially now that we already have flexible LCD displays. A PROPER pair of glasses too, LCD goes clear when not in use so you can see normally without even taking them off. Used with partial LCD coverage so you can see your environment as well, they could act as satnav and other things.
On the subject of NMS.
I liked the game in VR but the movement just threw me out. No ability to actually move properly like in Skyrim. You have to teleport everywhere, immersion killer in the extreme.
----------
To "fix" my Rift I keep having to repair my graphic drivers to allow me to play the Rift which is frustrating. The Oculus application is stupid that way.
-----------
Was curious so I went to see what new VR games are out on the market to try out.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/895870/Project_Wingman/
A game similar to Ace Combat, but VR. You fly modern jets while doing various missions.

Golfing while playing pool in space, on the moon, and other levels.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/858260/Until_You_Fall/
Cool sword & slash game in VR.
----------------
Still heavy into VRchat.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/943150/Nostos/
A VRchat buddy of mine made me aware of a neat game called Nostos where it would be a free-roamy survival game. An MMO, or similar to that. Ever since he kept hyping it I kept trying to keep it on my radar to try it out of curiousity. It's similar to how you survive in Minecraft & Rising World by gaining supplies to then raise a village, and etc. Other players can join, even have NPCs follow you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i50DMOErdA
It's both desktop mode & VR with VR Mode having neat VR specific gestures for almost everything. It's neat. Combat seems promising, as does resource gathering. Everything about it seems cute and charming for a more relaxing play style.
Note: There are flaws noted with the beta. Expect some hiccups.
-----------
I'm also posting this posting because I also stumbled across this overly whiny and moany article lacking any passion or interest in the game. Guy must have had a dramatic situation in his life or at the workplace, thus taking it out on his game, or something. Must have been a dull day at work.
You sure? Yes, there may be flaws if you hastefully tack on VR mode, though Nostos showed it has polished VR with gestures and such. Your complaints should be forwarded towards to polishing the game to stutter less. You know, optimization? It needs a heavy dose of optimization.
Ironically, your "friend" does a better job at reviewing the game than you do.... Ben Lang needs to try focusing more on the game than their own feelings.
Who the hell urinated in your cereal? Why are you so cranky? Take it easy.... If you don't like your job then get someone who loves your job to do the job for you. Honestly, what the hell kind of review is this? This is more about your personal feelings than it is about the game.
"is a dull affair in VR".... Like, what the f*** is wrong with. Honestly, I'm being 100% serious here. What is your mental damage?
Maybe people want to play chill games after a long day at school & work? There are times you want enemies & bosses, then there are times you may want to chill and enjoy the environment. There's something for everybody, same with Rising World.
Combat may be wonky, but it is what it is. It can use tweaking, yet it still seems promising enough as is.
You were already judgmental.... Kinda being a hypocrite here.... Yes, I know I'm not the best with my wording either..... Just.... What.
---------------
In Short: I'm in favour of playing Nostos because of my VRchat buddies, and because of how harshly Ben Lang views Nostos by viewing it poorly in their blog posting. I'm keeping Nostos on my radar, also because of how charming I saw it being. Sure, it may have flaws. What game doesn't? Every game as some sort of flaws you have to live with. What I care more about is if Nostos can mature & adapt with time by polishing and adding onto itself. Can it stand the test of time? Show us.
I'm going to try out Nostos because of my friends and the 'media' (one source) negativity aimed towards it. My curiousity simply grows with people being whiny.
Also, I may have over-reacted on Nostos, or I may have been correct in my assumption. I riled up a 'nest' on RoadtoVR with the site's moderators & people assuming I'm a 'villain' now because I questioned them. Alright,.... Maybe I crossed the line, maybe I'm genuine....... If anything, it just proves you can't go against the grain because people have to think the same way. You're not allowed to say anything going against the flow. I admit 50% fault because I hastefully posted my comments which were then taken out of context. I set myself up and it was then used against me...... Awesome. Very mature of them. I screwed up and they used my words against me. Weeeeeee~
I riled up the 'Road To VR' people, they now probably won't take anything I say seriously. Sucks to be them then....... If we can't speak on human levels then I guess they'll constantly be bashing their head on the wall :)
This is why you also don't needlessly apologies because it shows people can trample on you. Formally, sure, but even then people will take your kindness for granted.
-----------------------
Found more games worthy of attention. The more VR games I see the more I can point and laugh at people who claim "VR Is a gimmick", or that "VR is dying". Go to hell. I'm on the tired side so I'm a bit fighty right now, especially with how more disagreements causes people to be on edge. The more people disagree with one another the more on edge people tend to get. But yeah, have fun playing these games if you have VR :)
All, but the last one, are chill games. They should allow you to relax, something I need to do. I can't because Oculus application once again locked me out from playing in VR, thus why I'm also cranky again. I paid $500 CAD back in December 2017 and it constantly acts up. People noted having no issues with Valve Index.
- Horizon Beyond - A chill sailing in the sky game:

- LADS (Little Awesome Dudes) - You apparently live in your mom's basement playing retro games, going on the computer, and even taking care of your little dudes to RPG grow them. You're trying to grow their settlement while using your computer to expand them in a D&D manner, in certain ways. It has a nice 90's feel to things.

- Battlewake: Battle using Pirate ships against creatures.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/814400/Battlewake/
I feel Battlwake used Furious Seas as inspiration to get to where it is now. It plays similar, yet does so much more.
---------------
Again, if someone says VR is a 'gimmick', or "dying', they're uninformed. They don't know what they're talking about. I'm not saying this as a fanboy of VR, just..... Simply look at the games available for VR and you'll see where it's at. Don't believe the naysayers.
I hoestly feel that VR headsets don't need to be as big and bulky as they are. We have VR units that can now track full body movements using inverse kinematics without having sensors all over our bodies to do it.
https://hackernoon.com/behold-the-next-generation-vr-technology-part-2-full-body-tracking-1210ab27ebe4
That elimitates the need for the head trackers in the headset, add in the flexi screens as I mentioned above, control electronics in a box clipped to the waist with a thin cable connecting to the screens. Headsets could then weigh just a fraction of that they do now and still have a much wider FOV, eliminating the borders completely. Why do we still need, what is effectively, a mobile phone mounted in a huge heavy plastic case in front of our faces for VR? Carbon fibre would have been lighter and probably stronger too, but even then, with todays tech, there is really no need for it.
http://www.nanoid.co.uk/smallest_screen.html
https://www.scmp.com/tech/article/2155661/chinese-company-makes-ultra-thin-bendable-tv-screen-works-sticker
And yes, we do need a realistic and serious survival sim game. Maybe (again) cyubeVR should be up your alley. Keep searching. Maybe you'll find something I haven't........
Also, yes. What you've noted is the future. Oculus could have mended the 'No HDMI connection' easily, yet refused. They could have braided their cable, yet haven't.
But as you're implying, Tryst..... If there is a will, there is a way :)
--------------------
I had to let off a blog posting noting my experiences with Oculus & Oculus Rift. I got fed up that I tried my best to make note of everything all in one go in one single blog posting.
https://arcticukitsu.com/Blog/?p=5699
(Please view my blog posting to gain more of my full thoughts. I'm genuinely furious with Oculus constantly bricking my headset. It's not a fun experience)
It has my take on VRchat, Oculus, and the various games I played. I'm also looking into investing into the Valve Index once it becomes available. I just want to VR. Look, I spent well over $500 Canadian, it should work without getting bricked software wise. I honestly believe its the software, thus it needs to work :)
It's shown it can keep working, thus it should keep working naturally. Oculus is far too hand holding (too much of an overprotective parent) that they keep bricking their own headset.
VR still doesn't work on my end because 'Oculus', and I haven't bothered to do the driver repair thing. View blog posting in above post.
-------------
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082750/Wacktory/
Requires people to play because it's a co-op game. Seems fun and highly enjoyable for local co-op. My buddy found out you need people to play with so bring some desktop users to have some fun with it, if able.
It's free.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1124070/Tower_VR/
Your standard Tower defense game where you focus on it in a VR manner. Set things up, shoot ships, and manage things your way. :)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1098100/OhShape/
Think Beat Saber, but dancing. Try and match the shapes to progress. Seems amusing, though something I won't really play. May test it out to be informed, though people could use this for exercising, as they have done with Beat Saber.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1088950/Touring_Karts/
Touring Karts appears to be inspired by Mario Kart while doing its own VR take on things. Contains its own sense of humour, reference to pop culture and media, among other amusements. Have motion sickness? Play in an alternate way.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/868150/Takelings_House_Party/
Another co-op game requiring players while the main person chases down the other players. Give it a whirl.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1041680/Wave_Circles/
Everybody seems to want to cash in on the Beat Saber hype....... Over saturation ftw. Seems promising though.
--------------
https://store.steampowered.com/app/926220/LA_Deadzone/
Keeping my eye on this game. It may be meant for VR arcades, though if it contains VR locomotion it could be a worth game of picking up.
-----------
https://store.steampowered.com/app/740250/Neos_VR/
Similar to VRchat, if more youthful. Similar concept, different vibes. It handles different while doing different things.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/963400/SCP_Blackout/
SCP - You're a new D-Class personal personally tasked with surviving and escaping the facility while avoiding entities around you. Make sense of the facility, those around you, while fleeing everything. This is a horror game, treat it as such. Play only when you feel its safe to be spooked.
Be wary. (For Desktop & VR users)
-------------
Yeah, VR is dying so harshly..... I mean, look at these additional games proving how dead VR is. Sarcastic jokes aside, I'm amused. From these batch of games I think I'd find myself playing Wacktory, Tower VR, and even Touring Karts.
Well, onto more VR greatness! I can't wait to see how Rising World would handle in VR. I hope the controls would be like VRchat and not like other games :)
