Oculus Deals & Offers

We all have a backlog, so, yup! I still have DoomVFR, Arktika, Wilson's Heart, Talos Principle and more.

Wait 7 months to save 4 quid, now that's frugality to the max :D

Ta, I'll wait till then, still got elite and doom (which I'm finding pretty hard!) for my VR needs

Yes mate you will need revive thats a free download and runs oculus games for the vive, revive runs with the steam vr panel or you can use vive port which has both my steam and oculus library's and will runs games with no special program.

If you have the patience to wait, it'll be much cheaper at Xmas. I picked it up for £3.99 during the last xmas sale.

Agreed. Demoing is best. Really hoping LIV gets Oculus SDK support, or better yet, Oculus / Vive get official implementation to support mixed reality recordings. They definitely give a better indication of what it's like, but even then, like the difference between watching a footy match on ITV Vs being in the stadium

I don't think standard videos do any VR games justice TBH. Far too immersive for a video to reflect on a flat screen.

My wife said yes to a PC gamer, she knew what she was getting herself into haha. We have 2 living rooms, the key to all successful marriages (lol) But yes I can see how Elite Dangerous can engulf your life, so immersive in VR. Videos really don't do it justice. When you are sitting in your ship, it looks huge and the Galaxy is just there in front of you like a big black sea of intrigue. It's amazing.

Hahahaha

I hope you've said a proper farewell to your wife and family. Actually most players do emerge after a couple of hundred hours playing - but only to order an upgraded graphics card.

Any one interested in buying new oculus go 32gb

Superhot works so well in VR, not too demanding graphically, makes great use of tracking for those matrix moments when you are dodging a bullet and can be consumed in small chunks...

superhot is amazing in VR

Do it now.... try beat saber....

Similar situation for me. VR pulled me back in. Been a massive shooter fan and Pavlov VR has got me gripped ATM. I can highly recommend that if you don't already own it. I'm sure it's only £7. Plenty of user generated maps and people have recreated maps from Halo and CoD etc. It feels incredible shooting people in a map you have already spent hours in years ago!

I have a GearVR for what it is, very impressive. However once you move to the next level such as an Oculus and you have hand interaction in the environment it really feels good.

No, this is room scale and you paint with your hands via the controllers.

Unreal that mate. Honestly problem is with VR is people watch stuff like that and because they see head movement they think that's it's like in 2D. But when the headset is on and you're within that environment with proper depth perception there's nothing better. I've had people who have tried psvr and gearVR who said it's terrible. I fired up robo recall and they are then interested In how much everything costs. Superhot VR is another example on what sets people off. I've had some many people saying VR is bad but when I put them in the game their opinion changes very quickly :D

Actually this is really what can be done with this software if you have some talent >

Would this app work with the gear VR?

It's been one of the VR games I regularly go back to. It's a pretty good workout and although there's little variation and no depth - It's still fun.

Or spice :/

Probably stoned out of his mind. ;)

I have tried the latter, rather than a fight, it almost ended up as a Cuckold type scenario :S

You can get a realistic experiance, all you have to do is go into a bar, take a sip out of someone's drink alternatively you can go up to someone's wife and ask her for the succy succy long time

They work but not great, the default setting are just terrible, trying to aim the bow makes it feel and act like a kango hammer is straped to it. lol

Played through skyrim twice before I bought the VR version for 40 quid and it was worth every penny. You'll spend most of your time modding but it's in a different league. 🔥

One can indeed, the Touch controllers work in-game with no workarounds required. (it even works on the DK2 though you're limited to a control pad and head aiming).

Can one play on oculus rift? Best way to?

Not played skyrim (although I have the game on steam from somewhere, not got round to installing it). How does it compare to say, witcher 3? Fancy another VR game to get in to after star trek and doom, was going to be this or fall out 4, which I haven't played either

Can anyone install games - I keep getting errors

I'm partnered up with hurk and his mam. Lethal them two but if it's missions you need to save something ie. A helicopter, you've had it. I've had to get rid of them both on some missions. Far cry 5 is going down legendary for me along with creed origins. Ubisoft has come out of nowhere to become my favourite devs/Publishers. I don't even mind Uplay :D

I am currently addicted to Far Cry 5 and in love with Boomer. I want a Boomer game now.

Nice one, thanks for that

Get that rift back out of that box! 8) There's been some amazing games released over the last year. Mines been tied up for a few weeks mind, due to creed origins and far cry 5, but can't wait to get stuck back in :D

I actually haven't, I didn't think it was possible?

Do we know when the store sales will end?

Anywhere doing the £50 credit with any discount on the £399 price? eg Currys have 5% quidco but no mention of this deal

Have you actually tried using it? Apart from the onscreen warning it ran fine on my old GTX760.....

I'd try and get a cheap 970 to set up your rift, they are sometimes £130 You should contact Facebook about when the offer expires to claim your games.

This is fantastic. Well worth 6quid.

I spent a couple of hours playing this at EGX a couple of years ago. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. It was on a 14" monitor and I thought it was brilliant then. In VR it must be amazing.

It's a strange game this, although excellent. I really enjoyed it.

Oh, I'm getting this. Thanks. Must admit, since getting my rift a few weeks ago, I've bought more games than I've played.... Thank you preschool son and 5 week old baby

Seemed they had grand ambitions but just like CCP are now dumping. They've removed the IBM Watson voice support now, no updates etc ..

You can play this on your Tod, but it's really, really dull

Do you need mates to play this or can those lacking social skills play with the AI ?

No, you should wear a cycle helmet and safety specs in case of Klingons :S

Can I play this just on my PC without a helmet?

These both look good, for Zelda and Myst fans

Thanks for sharing - looks a decent price :)

Didn't know about their bundles. They're doing Superhot VR (£18.99) with Arizona Sunshine (£29.99) for £21.99 I highly recommend Superhot VR (once you get past the stupid shoot yourself bit)

Yep completely agree. I knew the risks. I only really wanted the climb so had checked revive for its compatibility before buying. My only complaint was the level of customer service from Oculus. I guess I've been spoilt with Amazon customer service and steam offering refunds if you play less than 2 hours.

Didn’t you try to use ReVive or whatever the software is to use Oculus stuff on other headsets?? At the end of the day you can’t complain about compatibility for a headset the oculus software should not support. I own the Rift and I knew the risks about buying LA Noire but I still bought it and it didn’t work well, I was disappointed but I knew the risks. Oh well...

I bought this to go with the Samsung Odyssey. I wanted the Climb so Job simulator was a bonus. The climb I enjoy, it looks nice and works well with the Samsung Odyssey. Job Simulator doesn't work. It forces you to have an Oculus Rift plugged in. I contacted Oculus and they simply told me in there T&Cs that they do not allow refunds on bundles. Worth noting this as it's put me right off using them if I can get away with it. The Climb is an Oculus exclusive so I had no choice but now knowing how un-helpful they would be I dont know I'd I'd risk it again. NOTE.... my comments are based on using a non Oculus headset however they didn't know this.

I've got the £11 compensation payment for my Rift account at work. Any recommendations that I can get for £11?

This is a great game - works on Vive with Revive no bother. https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/wiki/Compatibility-list

Thanks OP, added to collection.

Cool thanks for the info would have been nice to get both in one package but mainly want to try out the vr

To my knowledge the steam version is 2d only. So pretty much. If you own it from previous to oculus store releasing the dev did at one point give keys out for oculus store.

is vr exclusive to oculus then?
