I don't know if I'm even interested in an upgraded headset, money aside, unless it has foveated rendering or some other magic to boost performance. I think/hope the people behind the scenes at HTC/Valve are smart enough to realize they can't just release a higher resolution headset and hope for the best. Wireless is a great feature as well, but if I can just buy it as an add-on, why would I buy an entire headset for it?

God I hope we get to see a polished version of that new Vive Wand prototype..
HTC have denied the CES report
[QUOTE]There is no truth to the rumor of launching Vive 2 at CES 2017,” the official statement from HTC reads. “At Vive, we are laser focused on building out a strong and growing ecosystem for current and future Vive owners so they can experience the best room-scale VR with the most compelling content available.”[/QUOTE]

They denied anything at CES but then now they are teasing something "big" a week later
[quote]
The Taiwanese electronics maker on Tuesday sent out press invites for its "next big announcement" on January 12, 2017. The date comes after CES 2017 and before Mobile World Congress

Haha... 2x4K, and not only that, a jump from 90Hz to 120Hz. That is literally like that slide with VR predictions in 5 years. Who gives these people their jobs ?
I'm part of the Rift family now. The touch controllers are awesome, and being able to do roomscale and try Job Simulator and Accounting was just wonderful
Looking forward to making my own VR stuff and sharing it here
I'm really looking forward to Robo Recall, hoping it works with Revive.
swung by best buy to look at phones today and ended up walking through their vr section. noticed they apparently sell VR covers for the rift there now, picked one up for 15 bucks and it actually fits + works pretty well. pleasantly surprised.

Oh, I need to stop by Best Buy!
My right touch controller just ran out of power, whereas the left one hasn't even dropped a single bar yet. :huh: Can anyone explain that to me?
I haven't changed batteries on either one since I get them
The power bar that shows up in the main menu is a bit glitchy, since it can stay at 100% and suddenly drop to 0%. As in, the power bar only shows 0% and 100% and nothing in between. Your left controller will run out soon as well.
Are you right handed? Your dominant hand will probably be using the vibrator more.
So POSTAL is apparently open source now: [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1546824[/url]
How long until the VR mod?
So I tried Gorn. I can understand why people would dent or break their room/wand; The grabbing seemed a bit OP, but it makes for ragdoll shenanigans.
Also, it needs a full-fledged version and/or sequel.

That's just for the first Postal which is a 2D isometric game, not exactly VR material.
RAW DATA 50 CENTS PRICE ERROR
it gone
Blocks me because of geographical location, could anyone buy it for me?
I can pay back those 50 cents using Paypal.
edit:
Some people on r/vive are giving away keys for free, just got one.
Bought 3 just for lolz, already got the game. But probably will give it away.
Edit. Now when I think about it, not even one of my friends can afford Vive. Oh well.
I just bought it.
I don't even have a VR headset :v:
I bought one, but still don't see any key in my order area.
Damnit, I'm too British to buy it.
Anyone got a spare gift? Please? :v:
[QUOTE=Shadaez;51595620]RAW DATA 50 CENTS PRICE ERROR

Damn I wanted one.
I'll trade someone 200% worth in games if they grabbed draw data.
How quickly does it take to get a code?
I bought it, it's in my order history as purchased. But I see no key code in the game library area.
[QUOTE=Lolkork;51596722]you would probably have to sell your eyes to afford a computer fast enough to run that though.[/QUOTE]
If you sell only one eye you will have enough money for the computer because you'd only have to render for the other eye! :v:
how in the fuck do you use the spear and warhammer in gorn? it feels more like my inputs are suggestions for where they should go
had a vive for 2.5 hours and I've already walked into a wall and also hit a wall with a controller
thanks gorn
So. just finished the gallery episode 1. and holy fuck if this is just a glimpse of the future of VR adventure games / story telling then i REALLY cant wait for the tech to mature a bit more and truly be inmersed in a whole different world

You have to use two hands, one close to you and the other farther up the handle for both weapons.
Bit weird and wonky in my opinion but it feels satisfying to use atleast.
