Anybody hyped about that Ratchet release? Graphics for Uncharted don't do much for me but that game looks gorgeous.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postshocking news – valve + vr is godlike

oculus doesn't stand a chance if valve increases their software output

By Smokey Go To PostHuh

The thing with vive is you need damn near an entire room dedicated to it.

From the results we're getting it can be assumed that the game is using the same resolution reconstruction technique as on XBO. Thus when you select 1080p in game's settings what you're really getting is 720p+MSAA4x reconstructed into 1080p by a shader program. If you select 1440p you're getting something akin to 1707x960+MSAA4x reconstructed into 2560x1440 and if you're selecting 4K you're getting 2560x1440+MSAA4x reconstructed into 3840x2160.

By Xeno Go To PostWhen you say "entire room" do you mean a room that can clearly only be used for VR, or a living room area where you just move the coffee table?

This isn't meant to be snarky, it's a legit question. I haven't been following the VR stuff very much.

By Smokey Go To PostUWA is some how worse than GFWL. Quantum Break PC looking like hot trash fuking hell

Are you shitting me

On consoles AND PCs. Come on.

By Smokey Go To PostShameful af

Reading up on vive, the space needs aren't as large as I thought, but still more than the rift. Contemplating canceling rift pre-order and going with vive pending more user impressions.

Image quality: While we are impressed with the filmic appearance, that doesn't mean the image is as sharp and or clean as we'd like. As rendering budgets and visual complexity increases, the need for creative approaches to image quality arises. We've been impressed with techniques such as the temporal re-projection used by Killzone ShadowFall in multiplayer as well as the MSAA 'trick' employed in Rainbow Six Siege. Quantum Break's approach renders the game at 1280x720 with 4x MSAA while using four previous frames to reconstruct the image in such a way that resolution appears higher. It's different from the re-projection seen in Killzone in that the image must be re-constructed every time the camera moves - it also varies from Rainbow Six Siege which used MSAA samples rather than past frames, as we see in Quantum Break. The issue here is that while the effect looks very nice in stills, things break down somewhat in motion. Obvious stair-steps become evident whenever the camera is touched and gameplay appears chunkier as the action heats up. In addition, texture filtering is hit or miss with a number of surfaces appearing rather blurry from the gameplay camera angle. All in all, this is one area we expect to see improve on the PC.

By data Go To PostNothing legit about a game where I can buy an advantage

By Hitch Go To PostClash Royale is legit btw

By vire Go To PostWhat's everyone else enjoying so far this year? Can't wait for "nothing, this year sucks"

Increasingly, this is just how games on Steam evolve, inside and outside VR. It’s become more and more common for developers to launch unfinished projects through its Early Access program, and the best way to think of the Vive for consumers might be that it’s an Early Access season pass for VR. That pass will give you some great experiences, like the frenetic cooperative shooter Raw Data and survival horror game The Brookhaven Experiment. But it’s just enough of a taste to make you hungry for full versions that often have no hard launch date, although a number of them are slated for some point in 2016.

The longer it takes for developers to polish these experiences, the smaller the Vive’s advantage over the Oculus Rift becomes. Rift owners can already buy games through Steam, and if Oculus keeps its promise to release Touch controllers later this year, it makes sense for developers to include support for both systems, since HTC and Valve have rejected exclusivity deals. A single Rift camera already tracks several feet of floor space, and Touch’s two-camera setup could support most of the Vive games I’ve tried. We don’t know how much Touch controllers will cost, but it’s unlikely that they’ll bring the Rift’s total price above the Vive’s $800. For most people, the biggest differences between the Rift and the Vive may ultimately just be aesthetics, ergonomics, and personal philosophy.

GOOD STUFF

• Lots of innovative motion control-based games and experiences
• Emphasizes motion control and body movement
• Rich, customizable user interface
• Solid construction

BAD STUFF

• Heavy and ungainly
• User experience can be glitchy and confusing
• Many games still feel unfinished
• Highest total cost for a VR headset

By Spengo Go To PostHow's the input lag?

By GQman2121 Go To PostFinally I'm done-done with MGS V. Had a good time. Best Buy offered $17 and I took it.

By 90tilinfinity Go To PostEnter the Gungeon is definitely worth it then? After Assault Android Cactus (amazing game) I wouldn't mind hopping back into the genre.

By vire Go To PostNot bad at all! But it's worth noting I am on a wired connection for both devices and I get around 90 mbps.

So probably ideal circumstances.

The stream quality compression is more noticeable than any sort of input lag.
