    Has giantbomb played any of the better more fuller games?

    Fantastic contraption/Budget Cuts/Vanishing Realms/Starseed

    Or even the better looking short things like audioshield?

    Or has it been a buncha nothin?

    I saw them do fantastic contraption and audioshield for a bit. Definitely starting to get frustrated that I haven't gotten any shipping info in yet :(

    Can't wait to start building 3D models in VR instead of using mouse and keyboard shit with Blender.

    It's so much more natural, it's a game changer!

    What we need is a set of VR pencils and sculpting tools that we can use at desk scale to make miniature stuff too

    Well HTC sent me my code for the launch bundle of games you get with the Vive and Job Simulator is not included. Not happy about the last couple days.

    Man that video is so good. 4'30" on why motion controls are so important to the VR experience. Everything about that just looks like a ton of fun.

    I'm curious about this; do the codes show up once you register the device?

    We know he's within driving distance of a FedEx shipping center in Hawaii, so at this point I think we can just fly there and start going door to door until we find someone that presumably looks like a cartoon owl.

    You can drive across the big island in like an hour. Basically any place there is "within driving distance."

    I dunno about that. Getting around to a lot of places on the big island is kind of a pain.

    Headset came, I set it all up and it's not working. When I display in mirror mode my monitor shows everything that I should be seeing, but when I put on the headset it's just dark. The light on the side is green and everything is tracking. HELP what do I do?!

    did you go to htcvive.com/setup or whatever and ran that?

    orange cables out of breakout box to headset, black/blue side goes to computer? the HDMI from breakout box is plugged into your video card HDMI and not the motherboard/other's hdmi port?

    Never thought that, having placed a :02 order, launch day would come and go without me getting shipping info or even the actual product. Looking like that's going to be the case.

    I'd actually say that either headset is good. It's honestly up to whichever company is able to get a disgustingly good high quality screen that has a ridiculous PPI first at this point.

    yeah, 05 here and I'm in the same boat, also annoying since I'll be out of town Fri-Mon so at this point it's unlikely I'll even be able to set it up before next week if they did ship it at some point today.

    It doesn't have any right now. But more then likely it will later when the Touch controllers come along. You can technically load the game on a Rift, it's just that SteamVR won't read the second watch tower or wands.

    If I can just launch it and look around, that's good enough for me. My wife has been more impressed by videos of this game than anything else VR I've shown her, so if possible I'd love for this to be her first Rift experience.

    Unplugged and replugged everything, rebooted a couple of times. It finally decided to work, all good now.

    How does the whole headphone situation with the Vive work?

    There's included earbuds, but they're in-ear ones, which are very love-em-or-hate-em, so if you're using actual headphones, which lots of people will do - how do you deal with having the huge loop of headphone cable?

  • CabezoneCabezone Registered User regular
    I figure they just get velcroed up top with the rest of the cables.

  • XeddicusXeddicus Registered User regular
    I assume the same way you do the cable for the headset- you just do.
