Honestly I haven't really looked into many VR games other than Alyx and Beat Saber. I'll figure it out when it gets here LOL.
I'm also very intrigued by the whole "spacial computing" thing.
I certainly hope to get a lot of use out of the Frame as a glorified monitor for basic computing tasks, but from what I can tell reading reviews and whatnot, it's not all that great compared to the Apple VR thing. I sure want to give that a fair shot, though.
Year I don't expect it to be as good as the Apple one
This is what I wanted when getting 'quest 2' years ago but low resolution and jittery UI/text hit like a truck. lol
I wish I had a way of trying out better headsets to see what they're capable of...
The Steam Frame doesn't have that much higher resolution than that, so I am not all that optimistic that it well be noticeably better. The Vision Pro resolution is much higher. According to Wikipedia:
I am still going to give it a fair shot and try.
That's pretty much my plan. I'm saving some of these comments for later, but basically yeah. I've played beat saber on friends systems before and FRIGGIN LOVE IT. Like, I'm legitimately concerned about how much time I'll spend on it 😅
And I wanted to play alyx but nobody has it. So that'll be my first foray into "real" VR gaming
It is so exciting how many first time headset owners are in this thread, really hoping this will bring and keep more people in VR.
Same here. I'm going to be a first time headset owner and also excited for the boost this might give VR.
I think the whole wired lighthouse thing kept me away...
I've been looking for a wireless one for years that's not made by Zuckerfuck
@artyom@piefed.social @hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works I went looking for full body trackers yesterday and learned about SlimeVR trackers. Have you looked into them? They don't require any lighthouse and seem to be better in some ways than the lighthouse-based trackers (no occlusion), although worse in some other ways (drifting). Also cheaper and open-source though, like, you can apparently build your own if you want. I did read that if you buy them pre-built, make sure you buy from the official source or at least look for good quality ones with good chips etc.
It's definitely the wired lighthouse that's the problem, for me. And the PCVR requirement instead of option.
My brother in law bought a system, I don't remember which, vive maybe? Somewhere around covid. He used it a bit, and then all the parts sat in his basement in a pile. For years. I guess it just wasn't for him. He lives several minutes from me, and repeatedly offered it to me, to at least set up and use long term, but I never had a good place to set it all up, and then when I did move into a new place, I still didn't want the hassle.
That sounds crazy I know. Maybe even privileged, but like, I just didn't want to mess with it.
But now I'll have the option to use the frame whenever and wherever I am. Wire free. Lighthouse free. PC free. Meta free.
This is very very common with VR haha. Mostly because it has very few practical uses and is cumbersome to start up.
Hopefully not for me!
Someone posted here on Lemmy on another thread about the Steam Frame release and said that they're the number one ranked worldwide player in hours played. It had a link to the rankings and it was the same nickname. I recall it being something like over 3,000 hours. He said he plays 1 hour every day, and he's 48.
