VR Spacewalk is nice.

Not had a sniff around the OR Connect site for a while, need to have a gander.

I've go to try AI at some point.

I've merged a few threads together on non ED related Rift discussion, feel free to continue the chat in here. :)
 
I put in my order today and got the payment taken, order preparing for shipping email just a few hours later. Thought I'd share for people who have been considering ordering one but didn't because they figured they wouldn't be getting it in time for Xmas. Obviously I haven't gotten the 'shipped' email yet but what I got made me pretty sure it's going to be shipped tomorrow'ish

Ordered mine on Saturday (29th Nov) and it turned up at my UK delivery address on Wednesday lunchtime.

If you want one before the new year you may well still have time :)

I ordered some Savvies 40mm protectors off Amazon at the same time and they have yet to be delivered :eek:
 

Then I've been mistaken. It might have been 20k in some perior of time I havent noticed.

Alien Isolation?
Dolphin VR?
The humble book bundle? ;)

I would **** myself plying Alien in OR. Even the Deep sea demo gave me bad feeling when shark was suddenly behind me attacking me.

And Battle of endor is suprisngly well modeled X wing. Your suit, R2D2 unit behind you. But after 10 minutes I felt kinda sick. But that might haven been the effect of that roller-cosater demo I've been wasthing before.
 
Alien isolation is great in 2D, absolutely stunning on the Rift. Unfortunately I quickly get nausea playing it

I love Alien Isolation on the Rift, even though it scares me to hell! Just being able to "be on" Sevestopol station and look around is so cool!

Yes! Played Alien Isolation 2 Weeks ago in the Rift. Frickin awesome. Thick great Atmosphere!

I love actually "peeking" around or over something instead of pressing some button to do it; you feel like you are there.... WITH THE ALIEN!
 
The games I play in the rift are

E: D of course
Assetto Corsa - Great experience, few issue that mean you can't play the game properly (i.e. campaign mode).
Grid Autosport - Better game than Assetto corsa but the cockpits are a bit rubbish and the driving is more arcadey, bumper cam is mental :)
Alien Isolation - Intense and I can only play for a short while before it's all too much, implementation of Rift support (not official) is a bit wonky.
Team Fortress 2 - Oldie but goodie, good rift integration and I actually seem much better at the game in the rift than a normal monitor, can make you feel a bit queasy
Half life 2 - Good rift integration but makes me queasy relatively quickly
Lunar flight - Excellent rift integration, nice game but there's not a massive amount to it.

Games I've got that I don't play a lot of.

Euro Truck sim 2 - last time I tried it there was a fair amount of stutter, weirdly likeable game if you give it a chance.
AAaaaa for awesome - OK game, good experience, find I get bored quickly though
Timerifters - excellent implementation, half decent game, not a great deal of depth though.
World of diving - performance is a bit spotty last time I tried it, still in development though, nice experience.
DCS world - looks pretty good but the menus are a bit wonky and I can't seem to get into it.
Star conflict - Free to play space dogfighting game, one of the best looking rift games out there (looks better than E: D IMO).
Snow - Skiing game, want to like this as I ski in real life, rift implementation was a bit wonky last time I tried it.
Trackmania games - Good implementation, can't seem to get into the game very much though.


Other stuff I don't try myself anymore but I show people that come round
Sightlines the chair
Titans of space
ZVR

Two words...Alien Isolation.......

Sheesh......
 
Two words...Alien Isolation.......

Sheesh......

Jesus Christ...! that is my reaction to this recommendation!! I just picked up the pre release "ripley" editon with season pass

Well I can say it works well with the newest NV drivers.... but not sure at what point being nervous in a game stops becoming entertainment.

1st time I died i nearly cr@pped myself.
Not tried the main game yet just played crew expendable. Hats off to the devs tho, they nailed the feeling of tension in the film alien and playing in VR makes me realise..... I aint no hero!. once I finish this I then have the 2nd bonus content to do, escaping the ship.

Alien scared me as a child.... badly, which is why today even now it is up there with my fave movies and finally this is a game to match the film...... and like i said i am just talking about the "bonus" content.

Doubt I will play it on a monitor. Much like elite, why play the game when you can be in it?
 
Alien Isolation is awesome.

Playing on a game pad induces alot less sickness than playing KB+M. This is true for most FPS games, fyi.

Assetto Corsa is awesome in DK2.

Oh and there's this space sim I play from some lads 10 minutes up the road in Cambridge. It's awesome.
 
These work with the DK2, not sure about DK1

AirDrift if you wanna feel like your flying in a wingsuit. You are controlling the direction with your head.

Sena Preso, not a game but it's one of the best short VR experiences
https://share.oculus.com/app/kite-amp-lightning-senza-peso

Sightline the CHair, another good VR experience
https://share.oculus.com/app/sightline-the-chair

Alien Isolation overall is awesome but it has few bugs like the screen going black sometimes when you are close to a wall or in a locker and sometimes radar and text can get obscured.
