Do any of you lads have a VR set up? I'm seriously thinking about getting a Rift S. VR is now at a price point where I think I could justify it to myself, but the question is - will the novelty wear off - are there enough engaging experiences yet or will it be a cool toy for a bit that then doesn't have anything else to offer? |

Just some warning for the rift, all future Oculus devices will require a Facebook account now. I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up covering current devices too, sooner or later. |

I'm a huge fan of VR. It's a fundamentally different experience to gaming or watching video on a flat display, which has really been highlighted by lockdown. If I spend an hour in VR, I feel mentally refreshed like I've been out and had a change of scenery. |

Don't waste your money. You don't need a VR set-up to play HeroQuest. |

I've convinced myself to go for the used Rift S at my local CEX for £340. I'll eventually got a FFB steering wheel and I know I can at least use it in Assetto Corsa if nothing else. |

I've had my Vive for a few years now and while I don't use it daily anymore I'm far from bored with it. There are a lot of "experiences" like art-project music videos (e.g. "Surge" or "Icarus Six Sixty Six"), VR "films" (e.g. "Allumette", "INVASION!), or gimmicy "games" like "Richie's Plank Experience" which don't really have much long-term appeal but, for me at least, there're are a handful of games I keep coming back to. |

Thanks lads. In a momentary lapse of reason I just bought the Rift S from CEX today. |

There are tons of great demos of VR; but it's a bit like 3D TV, cames back into fashion every 10 - 15 years or so, everyone tries it and goes, "That's cool, but now I feel a bit dizzy" and then goes back to normal interfaces. |

I want a VR set specifically for sim racing, and I suppose the occasional jaunt on flight sim. I feel like most "made for VR" games still sort of feel like tech demos, and I'm not super interested in beatsaber and things like that, so it just doesn't feel worth it right now for me. Saying that, I do like the idea of having a virtual desktop, I love having a load of screens for work - though I do not think I would get away with wearing a matrix wanking helmet in work just yet. |

I should have known from how fucking bad the 2D version of SUPER HOT was that the 3D version wouldn't be any better, but I gave it a shot anyway. |

Paradiddle is a VR drumkit which works far better than I expected it to. Gonna get a cheap USB pedal. |

Annotation 2020-09-04 224103.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Assuming this calorie tracker is anywhere near accurate, it's been a lot more fun than burning 650 kcal at the gym. I'd probably say from feeling wise it's closer to 400, but still not a bad cardio effort. |
