If there was a definitive release date, I would share it. All I can say right now is: as fast as possible, or in old ID Software speak: when it’s done. Might take another two or three weeks, but might also take just days.
VorpX 3 confirmed!
Just for perspective, regarding Sickness and Skyrim. I have logged over 100 hours on Skyrim in Vorpx on my DK2 with no motion sickness. Yes it really depends on the individual but I also think it is something you can acclimate to.
Now GTA is another story. That one can catch me at random times even though I do not think the frame rate is that much different. Probably the fast motion vs plodding in Skyrim. Oh and Vanishing of Ethan Carter also doesn’t go too well even with my iron stomach.
Anyway I am looking forward as well to enjoying Skyrim with both the CV1 for its supposed improved visuals as well as trying out the Viv. It would be neat if someone created a teleport mod for Skyrim so you could walk around. As it is you can stand up and DK2 tracks you somewhat. Your head can move anywhere your wire can reach while walking. It just that your body doesn’t follow..lol Now someone should be able to fix that? right?
Nice. I am happy to hear that about Skyrim, maybe it won’t be an issue for me also. As for a teleport mod they actually have one, you point and cast as a spell and you teleport like you do in the photogrammetry thing.
Thanks for the heads up on Skyrim! :)
I saw Sirchancealot made an account just to post so I figured I would too. Just like him ever since Vive release I’ve been lurking for news. I’m so excited to play legacy games on Vive with the VR twist.
I know they’re not roomscale and don’t have motion controls, I would actually prefer they didn’t. I don’t think a majority of people who want Vorpx for Vive want that stuff. Two members of my family and my close friend all have Vive’s pre-ordered and they’re all excited to play Fallout and Skyrim in VR. So am I.
I won’t ask for a release date or anything, I’m sure you’re working on it and it will be ready when it’s ready but a hint of a timeline would be a nice treat.
I didn’t make an account just to post ;) I am a proud owner of Vorpx :) just waiting for my Vive update :D
Thanks for the warning and the tips, but I will risk throwing up all over my computer if that is what it has to take to play Skyrim on the Vive!
Hehehe fair enough :) then tip number 2:
Disable all mods, specifically ENB. They can make VorpX either not work or they cause issues in the game
PSA for everyone waiting for Vorpx Vive support:
If you have not tried a FPS in VR before as a seated experience ( Vorpx will not and will never make Skyrim roomscale for those who did not know ), motion sickness is a very real possibility, even if you have an iron stomach. I never used a DK2 or had any other experience before my Vive came and have absolutely no problem with Motion sickness when it comes to native Vive games (no history of any prior motion sickness IRL either). In preparation for Skyrim VR, I tried The vanishing of Ethan Carter VR sold on Steam and from the beginning of the game something just felt “wrong”. I wanted to experience a similar situation that I would find myself in with Fallout and Skyrim. I , more or less, was fine for the first 15 min. I thought I was good to go until I stepped inside a house and then I had to take the HMD off. Everything in my gut, neck and back of my head just felt “sour”.
Long story short if you don’t have any experience with VR motion sickness, read up on it. Buy some ginger Ale and Ginger chews. I bought some Dramamine just in case because I don’t want anything to ruin the fun. Just trying to keep anyone from having a bad first experience if they aren’t prepared. :)
I thought I’d have my Vive before vorpx supported it, now it looks like Ralf is crushing the code and will be done before my Vive even ships!
This may be a little off topic, but on Thursday i got my “pre-order authorization” email saying to call my credit card company and tell them to expect a charge blah blah blah.
Well i took this to mean my Vive would ship soon, but it’s already Wednesday. So if anyone here got their Vive, can you give me an idea how long after the pre-order authorization email you received shipping notification?
I fear the hype may kill me.
I got my “It’s in the Works!” Email on 3/26, and received my “Your package has been shipped” on 4/4. I hope that helps =) It depends on if you mean the processing or Pre-order confirmation email. My Pre-order confirmation I received on 2/29.
Amazing news since that’s my configuration! I’ve already installed a dozen games for Vorpx, anxiously waiting for release.
Yeah =D same here, that is my setup too. Great news!
At least give us the benefit of the doubt that we have researched what Vorpx is and how it works.
I actually know little about how VorpX works, spotted someone talking about it on the Vive steam forum and was excited to think it would give me a way to experience my library with the VR headset.
I didn’t honestly think I would be physically running around in games with room scale or using the wands considering those really would require a game be built specifically for that. But beyond that, I’m not sure. The 3D part is pretty much a given (otherwise, what the hell does this thing do if not!), the part I’d like to know is, does this do head tracking?
As for the other topic of G3D vs Z3D, again I know little about this, but from what I can gather, one is the convincing method but a performance killer and the other the lite version that gives you a decent shot at FPS that won’t make you vom. If I understood this correctly, then I certainly appreciate the option and tbh it’s down to the individuals machine to drive the game at good FPS. I may know little about these VR topics, but I have been gaming at very high res for a long time, I’m aware what it takes to push around so many pixels.
For sure, and my apologies if I spoke on behalf of you/someone I shouldn’t have, I really can only speak for myself. There are a lot of great forum posts here and videos online that are great education tools, I really like a youtuber named ImmersiveGamer83, he is very thorough and helpful.
From my own experience in the post I was responding to I simply had not heard the promise of VorpX making games roomscale, and the opinion that was projected was not my opinion. I wished to clarify that of all the Vive postings I had read and the general consensus that I gathered, what I wrote reflected what I had seen. The original posting seemed to imply otherwise. I hope you find the info you are looking for!
Awesome :) thank you for your impressions. That was a concise write up. One way or the other, VR here we come!
I have a hard time to see something that actually enables you to do things you couldn’t do otherwise as a disadvantage in any way. If you don’t like it, just don’t use it. For you that’s the same as if it wouldn’t exist at all, which apparently you would prefer. Noone has a problem with that. Meanwhile others can still use it to make games playable in a decent way on their machines, which could not really be played otherwise.
Yeah, well let’s just see what people with the vive think about Z3D when they try to do room scale and walk around. A lot of people won’t be happy!! The amount of hate that is coming your way if you don’t explain it to people is something I don’t want to see
Why would we try to get up and walk around in skyrim? At least give us the benefit of the doubt that we have researched what Vorpx is and how it works. We are just excited to experience our favorite games in a new more immersive way. Give us some credit that we know all of our Vorpx experiences will be seated ( unless we get the omni virtuix )
Sweet!! My wife asks me about 3 times a week when can she play Skyrim in VR. I will pass along the good news that it might be soon :) She may want to send you some wine Ralf :P Keep up the good work
Well that’s a simple fix. Just let him put on the Vive, kick him in the nuts and ask him what he learned. That when Daddy’s home, it is his Vive! =P
That’s fair, I am also looking forward to 3D movies and 360 videos, photogrammetry etc as well, there is a lot of potential all around. Still, I appreciate ya, keep up the good work!
