Not really.
If there's more than wii style shovel ware possibly.

I happy enough without it for now.
Just standing up watching the dream deck demos I can get twisted in the cable. Still think roomscale needs a wireless hmd. And I'd rather a 4k one before we start sacrificing for wireless.

Only game that has ever given me motion sickness is the xbla release of Marathon.

Sonic Adventure. That level where you ran down the side of a building. Also, Crazy Taxi, where you launched down that first of the big hills.

Have you got it working with steam vr?

[Kangawallaby]

I haven't played anything using it. Just using my steam games though that have Oculus support.

[Cletus]

Grab that OR version of Elite, Candy. I need some

Not that you'd be biased Kanga, it might be better to hear some impressions before buying space euro truck simulator. I can only imagine it being amazing if you love the idea of space flight and dog fighting and fucking smashing it out there in the expanses of our galaxy..or avoiding populated areas and never seeing anyone (real) EVER, but living with the possibility. Or finding out where people do go and landing on populated orbital stations or planetary outposts and pretending you're kind of a big deal over in the Yavin system.

[Kangawallaby]

I plan to grab ED in the next steam sale. Space flight games just aren't me enough to spend more than a lobster ($20) on it.

[flipswitch]

This may be worth getting.

'Plays many games in stereoscopic 3D.

vorpX - VR 3D-Driver for Oculus Rift - 3D Driver for the Oculus Rift and similar Virtual Reality headsets


vorpX – Virtual Reality 3D-driver and more
vorpX let’s you play many existing DirectX 9-11 games on your Oculus Rift in Stereo 3D today. Many features are specifically tailored towards VR for the best possible experience on your VR headset.
Full VR Mode
First person games are best played in Full VR Mode. For the best possible immersion. With full head tracking for most games and stereoscopic 3D for supported titles.
Virtual 3D Cinema Mode
Optionally you now can play third person games, strategy games, sports games etc. on a huge virtual cinema screen. In Stereo 3D for supported titles – almost as immersive as in full VR.

Yeah I'll give it a crack at some stage maybe once I get my new GPU.

[Ambrose Burnside]

I've ended my month-long dummy spit and cancelled my concurrent Vive preorder haha. Back on the Rift bandwagon. Cheaper, more exclusive games, can use it with the Vive's SteamVR but you can't use the Vive with the Oculus Store without hacks that I'm sure they'll crack down on hard.

The wait is hard.

[flipswitch]

Tempted to buy one off eBay, but I think I'm going to hold back - he said he could do it for $1750. I don't even have the gpu ready for it.

[itch]

I'm going to get the vastly superior Vive instead .

[Candy Arse]

Oculus gives you a tracking number...but no way to track the delivery. Idiots.

[Candy Arse]

OK so it's with Fed Ex, and the only reason I know this is because Fed Ex messaged me saying it's being delivered today!

[flipswitch]

Awesome! What are you going to try out first?

[Cletus]

Well that was confusing. I'd thought you'd posted a picture of my birthday present on Facebook.

[Candy Arse]

Awesome! What are you going to try out first?

Porn.

[Candy Arse]

I'm your birthday present big boy

Project Cars oculus rift video in link.

We’ve been witnessing a prodigious heat increase among gaming enthusiasts ever since Slightly Mad Studios announced the adoption of the Oculus Rift VR headset into Project CARS, introducing the breakthrough of virtual reality technology into the world of driving games. The tried-and-true method of comparing still images isn’t sufficient these days; here you have to monitor vehicles in motion to truly perceive the magnitude of this technology. We recently reported about Oculus Rift experiments on Assetto Corsa and DiRT Rally and now it is time to see how this virtual reality item works in conjunction with Project CARS.

Youtube user GamerMuscle openly shared personal hands-on impressions of the hardware and its utility in Project CARS. If you would like to see how open-wheel machines thrust through the air, all while the driver is being immersed in the action to an almost-unbelievable level, watch the video above.

Candy, impressions of the porn vr or whatever else you tried?

[Cletus]

Well that was confusing. I'd thought you'd posted a picture of my birthday present on Facebook.

I'm your birthday present big boy

excellent. Wear the headset. Nothing else.

[Candy Arse]

Holy fucking shit are my impressions.

I've been gaming since the early 80s and nothing has had a first impression like this.

And that's just the demos at the start after you've configured it!

Stunned. Blown away. Amazed. Insert hyperbole here and it's accurate.

[Candy Arse]

I'm downloading a few apps/games and installing SteamVR.

Impressions to follow later tonight once I've cleaned up this mess. Gonna need a lot of tissues

Someone's selling a used for 4 days oculus rift cv1 for $1700 on gumtree. He didn't say why he's selling it.....

Good old-fashioned scalping right there.
