What do think this about this current gen of HMDs, in particular the G2 and Quest 2? From my experience, using my G2, when I have indulged myself and pushed the slider up to native, it's pretty crisp! In fact, playing Assetto Corsa and ED, I can pretty much read the same dials as I can in pancake using my desktop monitor.Let's just say my Rift S has been in its original box for a few months now... Meanwhile I'm having more immersive gameplay with games like Space Engineers and Red Dead Online, despite these games being 2D. If VR gave me the visual clarity of my very nice 2D monitor with the FOV of my natural eyes looking at the real world, I would be more addicted to it like some of you are now, assuming the games available for it were compelling.
100% agree. Defo a long way to go before it is truly mainstream.People say VR is the future. Perhaps, but not like this. Today's VR may be a stepping stone in that direction, like the Atari 2600 was a stepping stone to the PS5, but there's still a long way to go before it's truly mainstream.
Sadly I've not played for some months now, it's just become too boring and SSDD. Having a go with XRVR and, for about the 17th time, SkyrimVR ( That just never gets old ).What do think this about this current gen of HMDs, in particular the G2 and Quest 2?

BUT
my monitor only goes upto 1920 x 1080, which probably explains the minimal difference between the two. I guess even these devices are far from what 4k people are now used to now??

Just saw this. WMR does have a built in keyboard you can use in ED but I think you need to use a controller rather than a mouse to type. With WMR you can embed anything from the desktop into a game, browsers, explorer, the desktop itself, a potted plant, ornaments ( yes, seriously ). Can't recall the damned command to open it but to close it you just say 'close'. All the WMR commands:This game is only worth playing in VR, shame it sucks!
Let me explain:
The good bits:
- I use a HTC Vive Pro, so the headset is fine and the graphics are good too.
- I use a Trustmaster Warthog stick and throttle and I have Logitech paddles for my feet, so actual flying is fine and immersive.
The bits that suck:
It just kills the game for me and I have tried hard to "like" it with the obvious shortcomings for VR. I could for a while accept the issues, considering development time etc. and frankly I don't care about there priorities any longer. You want me to play and pay for stuff, then don't make have to exist VR for anything but going to the loo.
- The need for 3rd party tools to do anything meaning full (examples if the station don't have that 4A module you need & search for best prices to sell.buy your stuff)
- No build-in keyboard you can pop up and use your mouse to type with.
I managed to get a 3070, by being stubborn and hitting F5 until I could order one. Even that struggles feeding my G2. Keep trying. They are out there. The 20 series is also worth looking at. Otherwise it's assumed that the situation will normalize in 2023The shortage of higher end graphics cards is stopping me from getting back into ED. I only play in VR and have a HP G2. It doesn't look like I will be getting a card anytime soon either.
The way it's going I may as well skip this generation of cards and wait for the next one. Whenever that may be.I managed to get a 3070, by being stubborn and hitting F5 until I could order one.

Yeah. Just tried the Odyssey thing which I get with my lifetime pass. Wandered around for 2 mins, booked a shuttle and then turned it off. 2d isn't for me.I really like the resolution, but at the moment, the VR immersion is worth the tradeoff.
