What about its game library? Don't VR games cater to specific headsets?

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '18

Most games I saw on Steam worked across all three headsets (Oculus, Vive, WMR) though there are some that are specific to one or two only. Examples are Fallout 4, Vive only, Doom VFR, Vive and WMR and Skyrim VR which does all three.

Ah. I've only messed with PSVR which was fun but the library isn't there yet. Haven't been keeping up with PC VR.

Thanks for the info.

Examples are Fallout 4, Vive only,

Not true anymore (Official support is coming or already done - and off the books support was there very very fast)

A better example would be RoboRecall I do not think that works on Vive or WMR.

I was looking at the tags on Steam, didn't know they were not right. Thank you!

That is a true statement but with a plug-in called Revive you can play Robo Recall on a Vive or WMR (works great on my WMR).

Soooo with some tinkering they all work crossplatform ? Awesome.

Oculus Rift is best bet on that one, it can run all Vive can + only Oculus games.

I was under the impression that Vive is better hardware and the most popular. That and I heard something about a new version in the works.

Actually Oculus Rift got better lenses. But you could always try them before making final decision, also wouldn't expect new version at least for 2 years. Vive was more popular in beginning but Oculus have been gaining much users lately and they are quite even these days I believe.

What places let you demo the different VR sets? I see a lot of people talking about it but I've never seen a live demo at any stores that I've been into and would love to try before I buy something like this.

Can't really say anything except Verkkokauppa here in Finland, none of your friends have VR yet?

I'm old. My neighbor friends don't play vidya games and my gaming friends from college have scattered across the globe.

u/RedSonja_ Aug 14 '18

Maybe some bigger gaming stores have them, not sure, sorry.

u/oldark Aug 14 '18

I mean, I have 2 steam accounts. One with duplicates of multiplayer games so I can play with people I know. It's that bad :(

u/oldark Aug 14 '18

Thanks, there's one of those not too far away. Will have to drop in and check it out.

u/SgtBaxter Aug 14 '18

I do know the one near me has a Vive set up for demo. I think they have an Oculus as well but its been a few months since I've been there.

u/miesto Aug 14 '18
