    Looking for a game similar to Saints And Sinners.

    When I say similar to saints and sinners I mean similarities in the whole slight rpg element of the game and how much freedom you get. The way I can kill anyone, wield a revolver while puffing on a cigarette, leaving a trail of dead walkers in my wake. Something like that, anything even close to that, I’d be interested in. Yall got anything?

    P.S. Peaky Blinders is another example of the type of game I’d like.

    Searching an apropiate lens

    I'm new to VR and I'm searching for a lens that fits my application, that being:

    1. That Its bigger (or very very close) than 1.39 inches (35.41mm)
    2. Having the smallest possible focal lenght
    3. Being round would be preferable

    At the moment I've only heard from a Google cardboard 37mm lens, but I've not seen It anywhere. If anyway could help me It would be very apreciated Thanks

    How much of a step up is PSVR2 from a standalone Quest 2?

    I currently use a Quest 2, but don’t have a PC to back it up. It’s not the best but it’s definitely better than my PSVR 1, which I pair with my PS5, even though it’s standalone.

    Since I have a PS5, I’ve been considering buying a PSVR2. However, the games are worse than the first PSVR imo, which I already have, so I’d be buying it for the improvement in tech/quality. I assume it’s a huge improvement from the native Quest 2 since it’s newer and uses the power of a console, but I’m wondering how much of a difference I’d actually notice. Like, would it be revolutionary or would the experience generally be the same?

    No room to use VR headset (HP Reverb G2) in new place

    I'm considering my options and did some googling but to no avail.

    I have a Windows 11 desktop PC with a Radeon 6800 XT which runs VR very well, but I have no space for my daughter to play games.

    Options I am thinking of are:

    1. Use my Surface Pro 7 + Steam Remote play. Do you know if it works for this headset?

    2. When my daughter wants to play, plug the computer in the terrace. Can I do this without a keyboard/monitor/mouse setup? How would I set this up?

    Is Quest 2 Hand Physics Lab have a Free mode Sandbox mode from the start to let you just play with objects or do you have to complete all 80 levels before you can use free mode?

    Cause i'm kind of interested in buying it but i'm not good at puzzle games, and i have to complete 80 and i assume they get harder and harder. I will never unlock free mode sandbox if that's the case.

    What headset to get?

    I was looking into buying a headset, but all I don't know which to choose for ma needs. (skip to the end if you're just looking for requirements)

    I'm only going to play pc games so I know I don't need storage, but I am specifically looking at performance and being connected via wire is no issue. I'm only aware of meta quest, valve index and vivo but don't know which would be the best one to get.

    so basically my requirements are: Good performance €1100 max (prefered lower) no need for storage no need for wirless connected via hdmi/usb/dp I am mostly going to play HL Alyx easy to setup (I never used a headset before) 1080p min res (prefered 2K if possible)

    Btw I have a 3070ti so if these standards are too highfor the graphics card (since I want to play at max settings) let me know, ask me any questions if I didn't make something clear.

    Thank you in advanced.

    I have a couple of days to decide between the PSVR 2 (I already have a PS5) and the Quest 3 (I have a gaming laptop with a rtx 3070 mobile, ryzen 7 5800h and 16 gb ram). Please help me decide.

    So, as I already mentioned in the title, I cannot decide between the PSVR 2 and the Quest 3. I would tend to get the Q3 (pancake lens, wireless) but I am really worried about the fact that my laptop (3070, ryzen 7) is barely able to run some of my fav VR titles smoothly on default resolution (FNAF VR, Blade and Sorcery, Hellsplit Arena, Boneworks etc.). I would also play on native mode on the Quest (no PC involved), but I am way more interested in PC VR gaming especially (ik that the majority of native Quest games have ps3 graphics) and not so much in watching videos, working, mixed reality in VR, just gaming (most of the time). As the PSVR2 PC adaptor is coming soon, I find this headset as a very good option as well, except for the only minus (imo) of the crappy fresnel lens. The PSVR2 is a way safer option imo (just plug and play, I own a ps5 already), but not as good as the Q3 in PCVR with a strong rig (im not sure if mine is strong enough, that is why I asked ;) ). Thanks in advance!

    Any VR Games like MegaMan Legends/64?

    The Ruins in those games had a great atmosphere. They were cold, dark, and quiet except for the far-off clanking of reaverbots. They were creepy, but not cheap. There were no bleeding wall pustules, just gray metal. I have Ancient Dungeon which I enjoy, but it doesn't give me the same feeling of constant nervousness that the Legends games did.

    (Robots and lasers not required. Monkeys discouraged)

    AMD gpu any good now for vr

    I’m looking to build a computer for someone and was wondering if AMD was having issues with drivers anymore and if so how bad are these issues. She uses a quest 3 and I’d appreciate any personal experiences with AMD gpu and how good or bad it was.

    Oculus Quest 3 vs PSVR2 with PC Adapter

    Hi, I'm in the market for my first VR headset and - with the caveat that portability isn't a big deal for me - I'm wondering whether or get a quest 3 or PSVR2 with the coming PC Adapter? Opinions?

    Anger Foot VR Gameplay / UUVR - How to Install and Play / Meta Quest 3

    I played the game with keyboard and mouse.
    The gameplay itself felt very good. But UUVR is far from perfect at this moment:

    • The main menu and Settings options were not visible in VR. For this I had to look at my pc monitor
    • Also the menu to select a mission was not good visible. I had to use my pc controller and select the next mission more or less blindly

    Somebody help me please I'm desperate

    So I used a lot of money to buy an oculus quest 2 for me a while back, and it came with the tracking broken like I had never seen before. And I never had the time to send it back so now the warranty is expired and I still don't know what to do. Okay so basically what is happening is that whenever I move my hand irl, my hands in game either get stuck in one place and I can move them, or they move somewhere entirely different than where I'm moving them irl, like for example, I'll move my hands like 1 foot above my waist and the hands in game will be like 3 feet above my head or in some other random places. I've had times where my hands in game were across the map from where I was, and it just makes it impossible to play. What puzzles me is that I know it isn't a problem with my environment or like obstructions, because my wrist movements are perfectly accurate and when I use hand tracking my hands move like they're supposed too and they work perfectly. I looked on YouTube and other platforms but no one has my issue, and I am incredibly sad because it is really hard for me to get any money and I spent a lot of it on my VR, only for it not to work. Please if anyone can help, help please.

    I hope a pc game like Dreams is made

    Dreams was a ps4 game that allowed players to make all sorts of game and you could play such games in vr too. I remember enjoying many people’s creative works.

    If something like this comes up in steam, it’d be a game-changer.
