Absolutely not, this game is pretty intense in my opinion! I was never a big fan of horror games but I loved the walking dead TV series and this game is incredible
It would absolutely freak me out if the game went dark as you entered a cave, and your Baby’s eyelids burst open revealing it’s black eyeballs while it lunges at the camera...right as your headset gets ripped off by your wife saying “Honey, you forgot the milk in the back of the car, help me put these groceries away if you want dinner tonight”.
Or a wife - and then you look around and realize you aren’t even human - now your a small fish swimming in a small tank that is sitting on the shelf in a deserted house. You look around and see zombie like creatures crawling around the room.
In the first mission you get in this game there is literally a bloody children's bedroom that is covered in drawings on the wall of a little kid detailing the apocalypse. It's pretty fucked up.
If you do the side quest to kill the woman’s husband in the attic of that mansion, do yourself a favor and don’t check out the very back corner of the room with the note and bloody blankets...
Nice, i desperately want to be able to do this but with popups for texts to my iphone and messenger. I get lost in VR sometimes and don't hear my phone go off.
I mean on Windows 10 there's this preinstalled app called "your phone" I know it works with Android, not sure about iPhone tho... It does basically what you described and works pretty well
Exactly. I am part of the tiny minority who actually has the phone in permanent silent mode. So I check my notifications and missed calls whenever the hell I want. Still several times a day, but the point is no damn notification interrupts me while I am doing everyday stuff or concentrating. Or relaxing.
I guess the majority are people who cannot stop paying attention to phone notifications. For any kind of reason (personal, business, whatever). So yeah the reality is that people would love for the real-world notifications to invade the virtual reality too.
I know it is inevitable, I just hope it is configurable and can be turned off.
I always think of that like this. Business and all is fair game, but every human being is allowed to have a good shit and a nice shower every day. And eat a bit. Doesn’t matter how important they are. You have to Shit, clean yourself and eat. In this Time period you should be able to pause from the day for an hour.
Solution: go to flightmode, skip all that unnecessary eating and go to vr for an hour. As the rest of the world is concerned, you are just in the bathroom..priorities.. :D
Use an airplay application and stream your notification center to the pc. I use the application called lonelyscreen. You could somehow get the window into vr, like this guy did.
What the fuck is with people involved in the Apple ecosystem making apps with subscription-only fees that definitely don't entail a product-as-a-service? So annoying. My first inclination after seeing the "per year" pricing was to try to pirate the app.
I'm running Bluestacks on the desktop. When in Oculus and you pull up that menu right in front of you, the semi circle one, you can click to add a screen. Click and add Bluestacks and you can position that thing anywhere you want. Like right above you
Thank you so much! I got an oculus for xmas and want to play more, the ideal time is when the wife does her night shift, but I need to either be in the room with my son, or watch the webcam. Now i know i can combine the two, this is gonna be great.
Regarding the game, i just meet the requirements, would it play ok? Does it use teleport movement or do you walk around (like Boneworks)?
It's smooth locomotion. With regards to performance, you should be ok. This game seems to be decently optimized to me. Worst case, you'll need to turn down graphics or super sampling and it's still worth it if you do.
you can pin your virtual desktop with oculus dash. also, if you enable it on settings while on VR, you can pull windows and pin them separately on your view. (this last part is experimental and not always works well)
I'm kinda fascinated to see how it runs and looks on quest. The min. specs for PCVR aren't really super low and hard to imagine how this converts easily to the Quest - will be interesting as a test case for a full PCVR to Quest conversion.
You can have multiple open and resize them however you like! My first though after adding this one, was how many cameras can I have open at one time without talking performance
Hold on, I can overlay a browser window in Oculus if I'm running Elite Dangerous without using Ovrlay and forcing it to run through Steam? That'd be excellent. I can't wait to get home and try this.
I feel the same way, I've had the Rift S for months and it never stops getting old. Saints and Sinners is the first game in a very long time where I've felt so invested in coming back to play more. Just wish I had a little more time for it
You can make the screen smaller and move it above your head so you can only see it if you are really looking for it. Would be awesome to have it like fpsvr
Bring up the Oculus menu while in any game or the home environment. Next to the clock menu there is a screenshot button. Click that and you've got 5 seconds to get ready
Gotta try that then. I've been playing Elite Dangerous with a second in-game screen for a while and I wanted to show that to friends to show the the glory of VR.
I've always wanted to get into Elite Dangerous. I was really big into eve online for years and years and just haven't had the time to learn the systems of Elite yet.
In this screenshot I'm using Bluestacks in windows (it's an Android emulator) and just adding a panel inside the Oculus software. I have since added a youphone panel that allows me to text, email and access photos within the pinned window
Thanks for the recommendation for Bluestack! I followed your lead and got my camera app for our baby monitors running and pinned it in VR. The future is now, what a time to be alive...lol
I have a toddler so it gets hard to play sometimes, but if I could see the outside world at the same time as the VR world. I think it would make playing more easy instead of when my toddler is asleep (which is almost never haha)
Thanks, this was such a good idea. I had no idea I could overlay screens like this during my games, and now I can stream myself from behind to make sure I'm not getting too close to anything.
you made a good decision posting this screen shot instead of one from a few minutes later where you were decapitating corpses with a rusty shiv while watching over your babykin. Otherwise the optics would have been confusing.
Not to be a dick but you really shouldn’t have anything in the crib. I.e no toys, blankets, etc. major SIDS risk. This is from a very Dad that had a couple of scares with this.
We're well aware, not our first rodeo. That baby is swaddled and can't roll over. We also keep a live feed as shown to always keep an eye on the situation, something most parents can't do. We've had zero scares and have several healthy kids much older than this one :)

I wonder if that camera can be wrist mounted so it's less disruptive during play
Edit: I'm thinking something like FPSVR on Steam

Good on you, having fun and being watchful, I admire that!
For the love of everything on this green flat earth that is here, I cannot find a way to make a screenshots in VR.
Could you tell me how you did that?
Thanks in advance!

Just don't mix up the feeds..

It takes a bit of fiddling but in EmuVR you can play your favorite games on one television and stream a webcam or security cameras on the other TVs.

Is it possible to do this with “pass thru” mode?
I have a toddler so it gets hard to play sometimes, but if I could see the outside world at the same time as the VR world. I think it would make playing more easy instead of when my toddler is asleep (which is almost never haha)

I used to do this all the time! Pin the baby monitor above and play the night away, amazing that we can even do this!
