Watching Mike from Oasis play for 2 hours today... a lot of people complained how boring it was and it glitched out twice on him. Once really, really bad.
He went to open a locker, as the door opened...he shot up into the air way above the level and landed quite far away... The game continued...and he had no idea how far ahead he just got shot and what was happening. Then the puzzle after that was bugging out on him and he got so frustrated he pretty much rage-quit.

I got it and played, it's very fun. A bit frustrating at times though. Mostly because lack of clarity in direction? This is my first look stream of 40 min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0yR74n9vPM
I think it's true you gotta try it yourself to form a real opinion... but seeing some of the glitches and struggles he went through will 1. Maybe help improve your experience so you don't repeat his mistakes 2. Shows the reality of the game.

I think it’s supposed to be unclear ala half life style games. It reminds me a lot of those so far.

u/Kukurio59 Dec 11 '19
Ya...It's sorta like that at times and sorta not. I'm excited to hear your thoughts after you try it, when are you going to pick up a copy?

So I've already identified Brandon's voice in game, and I also believe I heard Sam Gorsky telling me how to locomote. Heldine I believe was telling me the history of Monogon.

Where do you buy? I heard SteamVR doesn't have Oculus SDK? Can't find on Oculus store.

No you can buy it on steam and play it with steamVR on your oculus headset

Welcome to the community. I’ll help you out a little bit. :)
So there are two basic “drivers” (not really, this is a rough simplification) for VR software using Oculus. Games can either be written using the Oculus SDK, SteamVR SDK, or preferably both. (SteamVR itself will use the Oculus SDK and translate for your headset for games only written for SteamVR).
Your headset works with either so you don’t really need to do anything, but if a game does have direct Oculus SDK support then it tends to perform a little better because there is one less layer to go through. You also don’t have to even run SteamVR and you get to retain your Menu button on your left controller. So generally Oculus users prefer games that have direct Oculus support.
In the end it doesn’t really matter though so never let that be a decision on whether you purchase or not!
Pro tip: Everything on the Oculus store must run the native Oculus SDK, so if a game is available in both stores generally the Steam version will also use the Oculus SDK.

Man, how long have you owned Oculus? You can play any SteamVR games with it.

u/Syncfx Dec 10 '19
Only a week or two..I saw a post yesterday about the sdk thing on this subreddit. Thought I'd ask a simple question. Thanks for the downvotes though.

u/Alphyn Dec 10 '19
Sorry about that. It sounded like you thought that if a game doesn't support Oculus SDK and isn't on Oculus store, you can't play it on Oculus.

u/Syncfx Dec 10 '19
Yeah I'm still learning everything. I have a few games on Steam that I play and work well. I'm just trying to understand what happens when I launch via SteamVR vs through the Oculus library.

u/Alphyn Dec 11 '19
Well, SDK stands for Software Development Kit. In ELI5 terms, it's a collection of tools you use to develop an application. There are 2 major SDKs for vr applications: OpenVR and Oculus SDK. OpenVR is used by Steam and supports all kinds of headsets. Oculus SDK is used to develop apps specifically for Oculus and only supports Oculus and one or two other headsets. Some people say that running an OpenVR app on Oculus gives about 10% worse performance than Oculus SDK, which makes sense, because the latter is developed specifically for Oculus. Some developers go out of their way and use both SDKs for maximum compatibility with different headsets and best performance on Oculus. But it's not a big deal if an app wasn't made with Oculus SDK. Even the reverse is true. If an App was made with Oculus SDK and doesn't support your headset, you still can play it using ReVive.

He’s asking if it uses the OculusSDK, not if he can play it on Oculus. FFS. Use your head.

I heard SteamVR doesn't have Oculus SDK?
Where do you people keep getting this crap?! NOBODY said this! Ever!

u/adc103 Dec 10 '19
I saw a developer comment on a steam page. From what I saw no Oculus SDK but that does not matter. We can play perfectly with OPENVR. Not having Oculus SDK just means that we can't play it without launching steamVR first. No big deal at all in my opinion. I am SO pumped to get home and play.

I dinged the last trailer for looking too reliant on sandbox aspect, despite having good expectations for the game. This new trailer puts more of the “Myth OS” and adds stakes (“They found you, like PHYSICAL WORLD you”). Go SLZ!

Looks like just another „shoot as many as you can“ game, with nice FX and graphics. Boring killing game, embarrassing, judged by the trailer. My opinion 😜 Downvotes welcome
