I tried the tutorial and couldn't figure out how to reload the gun. I don't dare take it online for fear of being an embarrassment to myself.

You can do the trainning in coop so next time we're on we can try that out first. I spent a bit of time figuring out all the controls and how to reload most of the guns before I jumped online. Don't be afraid to ask people online either because most understand when someone is new and are happy to help.

Played about a bit with elite but got confused between the games super sampling and editing the steam file. I keep meaning to get elite going but with setting up the stick and the graphics it seems like too much work.

Try it with the pad first and gawp. Then you'll not be able to set the HOTAS up fast enough.

Children depending I'm up for that.

I see Valve have offered the Onward dev guy to come and work at their headquarters.

Gorn is amazing, absolutely hilarious.

I'll try for about 9.15. Do you lobby up through steam?

I might be up for this although the hangover might have other ideas.

Sorry to be rubbish but I'm bailing on tonight, feeling knackered after work.

Anyone up for Onwards (or something else) tonight?

Have you lot seen the latest film from Oculus Studios called "Dear Angelica"?

If not, drop everything and fire it up - the oculus app will more than likely have downloaded for you and it should be ready to go.

In all my days I've never ever experienced anything like it - it's simply spellbinding.

It may not be interactive, offer room scale shenanigans or presence, but man it's the best thing i've ever experienced in VR.

I was almost in tears by the end, just simply beautiful.

It was good, I really enjoyed Pearl as well. It will be interesting to see more narrative experiences.

I was trying to figure out how VR made it so unique. Probably sheer sensual overload.

That looks good .

Some interesting news regarding what Sony can do with existing navigation controllers and move regarding games like Onward . Fingers crossed they're working on something like this .

NICKED FROM UPLOAD VR


PlayStation VR is a very capable headset, but it does have one glaring weakness: the PlayStation Move controllers.

Sony’s positiontally-tracked wands bring your hands into VR with relative accuracy, but they pale in comparison to the HTC Vive’s wands or Oculus Touch controllers. A lot of that has to do with occlusion, as turning away from the PlayStation Camera tracking your position will instantly lose tracking, but there’s also a noticeable lack of a dedicated navigation feature on the device such as a control stick or touch pad. That makes movement in the few first-person games that do use two controllers stiff and awkward, as seen in titles like Loading Human [Review: 4/10].

Winnipeg-based Playhouse Studio may have accidentally stumbled upon an ingenious solution to this problem five years ago, though.




Take a look at the video above for a system called DualPLAY, which was published in November 2012. It shows a peripheral that links the Move to its companion device, the Navigation Controller, that launched alongside the main unit in 2010. In theory it’s a pretty simple add-on for the kit, but here’s the important bit: each Navigation Controller has a DualShock-style analogue stick fitted to it.

What it doesn’t have is its own light for the camera to positionally track, but by tethering the two together you get a workaround that gives you the best of both worlds. As seen in the video, the player can move through the world with the intuitive controls they’ve come to master over the past two decades of gaming while still accessing the full range of tracking featured in Move.

It’s not an ideal locomotion solution; artificial movement with sticks has been known to cause simulation sickness for some VR users, but it certainly gives PS VR owners some much-requested new options.



The video was shot long before PlayStation VR would be revealed, though its creators have gone back to make mention of the headset in the title. It features gameplay elements that have become commonplace in today’s VR industry.

Of course as a third-party experiment and not an official Sony peripheral, it’s not likely that DualPLAY would gather a lot of software support on PSVR in this day and age. But it’s definitely something Sony itself could consider as an inexpensive way for players to further enhance their VR gaming experience without having to release an entirely new controller.

Blimey.

I wouldn't - he's very rich now and IIRC gave money to the Trump campaign, so fuck that guy.
