Did you ever get Star Trek to work, by the way?

I got it to work fine, yeah. Played with Marlon Rando and his mates. Was fun but would be better with a Grim…ordering me around

They don't look to bad from that angle but they're really thick, hence my VR worries. I mean my eyesight is fucking terrible (-7.5 If that means anything to anyone) but the real issue here is that I didn't pay for thinned lenses because I'm only ever wearing them in the house so they're THICC.

While browsing the Steam store I noticed an announcement of an update to "I Expect You To Die" which adds a new level; something that's also been rolled out to PSVR:

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/09 ... new-level/

It's pretty old news actually but I never noticed at the time somehow.

Picked up Farpoint with the gun for this fairly cheap from Game. It's great, the effect in the game is marvellous and it's just a really nicely designed thing. I hope lots more stuff comes along that makes use of this accessory.

I rattled through the new IEYTD level last night and it was awesome. Arguably slightly easier than the previous levels but some really nice touches.

I thought it would be really naff like PS Home (remember that?) but it's actually really cool, packed with neat touches, and has a surprising amount to do (we tried three of seven or eight activities, and each of those has some options and sub modes.)

We did indeed figure out private games, BTW.

Is it all multi player stuff or is there anything to do on your own? I think I saw pinball mentioned somewhere.

Nothing we saw would work solo, but as I say, there's a lot we didn't see. However... The Steam reviews all say the community is lovely and everyone I (briefly) interacted with seemed nice. The first time I appeared in a public lobby, people were waving to me and high-fiving me! I'd be open to trying it with randos.

Also it has cross platform play so if we can get it working you can join in with us.

I didn't get as much chance to mess around this as I hoped but it compares very favourably to the Gear VR. The lead is annoying and with two Jack Russels in the house the chances of cable disaster are high but that's the only downside vs the GearVR that I can think of.

The biggest difference I am finding is a much greater sense of immersion, the wireless controller appearing in front of me and small touches like moving my head forwards bringing things closer to me. Some time on Arkham VR was pretty astonishing but now I really want to try it with Move controllers. One for Santa methinks.

Spent all my virtual winnings on this gorgeous AC Cobra and took it for a spin in VR. Excuse the crappy, slow driving but this was my first go with this car on this track and also I was using the clutch and H pattern shifter which I'm really not used to in a game so I was fluffing gear changes all over the place.



But wow, what an experience.

Brands Hatch. And there's really no rush to get going. That's one thing with the VR aspect of this game that I really wish they would improve. You get one opponent car and I'm fairly sure it's being driven by my mum. I can understand the compromises to get it running at all but I don't see why you can't have a faster AI to race, or even just a time trial scenario where you can race your ghost.

That looks fantastic. I think if I was playing with a pad that’d mess up my immersion though.

Shame that the trees are just flat 2D models but I suppose you wouldn’t notice it much.

iRacing has 2d tree and crowd models too. I'd much prefer dynamic tracks and tyre models to wasting resources on scenery that you don't have time to look at anyway.

The crowds in GT Sport are actually 3D but in VR on the base model PS4 there aren't any, just a few marshals dotted around the place.

Post subject:  Re: PSVR

Lots of modern racing games have trees as two textures in a cross but this looked like it was just one lonely flat texture. I might be wrong but it just looked odd.
