>0 threads

I thought /v/ loved Thief

I guess VR + Thief 4 world = 100% dead then
>>
/v/ doesn't actually love these games. They just pretend to so they can fit in. Same goes for shit like deus ex new vegas soulshit etc. They really only play tranny nintendo games and other gay shit like silksong.
>>
I saw the trailer for it and it looked comfy, but yeah, I don't do VRslop. If I did, that'd be one of the few that looks somewhat fun, though.
>>
>>727616703
Nah Thief 1 and Thief 2 are great. The Dishonored games are great too. I just never bothered getting into VR because it looks like a meme.

And Deus Ex is my favorite game of all time.

New Vegas is overrated as fuck, though. Fallout 1 and 2 are better.

We complain about the, at any given time, most popular games because acting superior gives us a cathartic sense of control in an otherwise chaotic and seemingly meaningless world. We also lack social skills so being mean about something serves as a replacement for having an actual personality as it's the only trait we actually master.

VR could actually be great for Thief but I'd rather have a mod for the original, good games. Then I'd also have a ton of FMs to play instead of some shitty thiaf campaign.
besides is this even for PC VR or it it just questslop

>>727616598
VR has this trapping where when they make a VR game in a series it's always some subtitle spinoff with an alternative protag because nobody has any balls. Alyx needs to get more shit for this. Use your main character at least for fucks sake. It can be a contained story and not a numbered titled if nobody plays it. But don't just advertise to everyone you never had any confidence in it.

Meanwhile VR conversions of classic games don't have this problem. You're playing the real thing and not some shitty facsimile mobile game production values on your face.

4 was a reboot, they just shoehorned him into the VR game because no one liked thi4f. No idea what paper thin justification they have for it since I was never going to play a VR game.

>>
>>727619273
You're talking about the normal person, so I will too. VR isn't like flat gaming where your group of friends are always revolving through different AAA mainstream multiplayer games. No one you know is going to refer you to VR games. People underestimate how much of the games they play are referrals, so when none of their normie friends are telling them about a game, it might as well not exist.

You have to actively use a search engine, youtube, watch VR steamers, ask in a VR thread to discover VR games. Or actually, just listen to people in VR threads when they post lists of games you can play instead of forgetting the names in 30 seconds like a gold fish. There are thousands of anons like you, I will tell them they can play forefront almost every day like I do, but no matter how many anons I tell forefront will never exist. It's impossible to make games exist in the collective conscious by posting them on 4chan. So TLDR, if you are a normie or never leave 4chan don't expect to know anything about VR. It's a cult hobby.

VR headsets are shitty so the best headset is $500 new quest 3, $350 refurbished, and its only slightly better than the $150 used quest 2 in the grand scheme of things.

VR isn't like PC hardware that makes a bell shaped value curve where you are best off buying midranged prices. The cheapest VR headsets are both the best and most dominant ones. I wish there was a proper midrange. The expensive headsets have better specs but retardation in product design makes them less useable

The source code needs to get released so people can port it into a modern engine and add more features and better hardware support.

They do but it depends of what the game could already do, there basically 3 levels of mods
1. Vorpx like stuff, it basically just renders stuff twice so you can see shit in 3d, not worth it.
2. UEVR, due to how standardized that shit is you can pretty much make any ue game into a vr game, with full head/body movement, how much 'VR' it is though, it depends, some games have profiles so you can aim with your hands and shit, while others you are just a floating camera with 6dof. Can be fun to play like this, stellar blade was great, though most games require tinkering.
3. Full custom mods, like the outer wild ones or hl2vr. Those do add full vr interaction, grabbing stuff, reloading with your hands and so on... But they are rare.

There are enough vr native games to give you a year or two of gaming before you have to start looking into flat stuff.

>>727623960
Does HL2VR have the same level of object manipulation as Alyx, and is the gameplay/design changed at all to account for it? I loved what Alyx did but I'm not interested in replaying games I've already played multiple times if they're not really taking advantage of what VR is good at.

Such a weird choice. I understand the need to humiliate the IP like Baldur's Gate or Homeworld but making it a VR game sounds so weird. I guess they just needed a gimmick.

I'm not sure Thief would work in VR. You'd think as an isim it would be a good fit but I'm sure it gets old fast. I'm also not sure how well stealth mechanics would translate since they probably need to support teleportation for people who get motion sickness.

>Does HL2VR have the same level of object manipulation as Alyx, and is the gameplay/design changed at all to account for it?

Kind of, you can grab everything that could be grabbed in the original, some minor clutter would bug around a bit when you rotate it but nothing major.
It is still the same game though, you must reload with your hands and aim in VR, everything else, opening doors, turning valves, pushing levers, all that is done with just pressing a button in your controller.

I still would recommend you to play it though, I prefer it over alyx, way more fun and challenging, it's funny how it feels like it was made for VR with all the cover and small holes to shoot from.

There is a also the hl2vr unleashed mod that lets you dualwield and melee with your weapons.

>>
>>727625072
>it feels like it was made for VR
If it doesn't have the object manipulation and ensuing puzzles, then it's not really made for VR. If I'm giving up mouse and keyboard input and movement, then the game needs the kind of 3D object manipulation only VR can do as a core gameplay mechanic to make up for it.

>the kind of 3D object manipulation only VR can do as a core gameplay mechanic to make up for it
But it does have that, in having to reload manually and aim manually, plus the original hl2 puzzles already required you to manipulate stuff, now you just do it with vr.
Not every game must be a puzzle game focused in your hands, just like not every pc game is focused only on mouse movement or whatever you think defines PC gaming. Are total war games, stellar blade, undertale and visual novels not 'pc games' because they all have different control schemes?
>>
I mean half-life 3 came out but it was vr so nobody cared. Or more like straight up ignored it.
>>
>>727625906
Aiming in VR is cool, but I already aimed a gun in games 20 years ago at arcades, and it actually felt more like a fun. Reloading in HLA felt amazing, but that's not enough to carry a game's design.
>Not every game must be a puzzle game focused in your hands
You absolutely need that kind of manipulation otherwise it's pointless and saying things like "HL2 is actually more if a VR game" is retarded. HL2 also had lots of fast precise movement, which VR can't do like mouse and keyboard.
>Are total war games, stellar blade, undertale and visual novels not 'pc games' because they all have different control schemes?
False dichotomy. VR is PC or console that already exists but with a new control scheme well suited for certain kinds of interaction. Saying that a game like HL2 is better with VR despite not focusing on objective manipulation puzzles (in ways that require 2 hands moving in 3D space) is like saying and RTS is well suited for controllers, or third person action games play better on mouse and keyboard.

>Reloading in HLA felt amazing, but that's not enough to carry a game's design
And that is my point, hl2 game design is so much better than HLA that with just weapon handling it already feels like a better made for VR game than alyx.
>is like saying and RTS is well suited for controllers, or third person action games play better on mouse and keyboard
I mentioned stellar blade specifically because I played that with mouse & keyboard (and in VR but that is unrelated).
Your argument is if a game does not use the control scheme of the platform fully (and exclusively), then it should not be played there, should stellar blade not have been released on pc then? Hell what about emulators, should I not play an old game in 4k and 60 fps or whatever, just because my pc input can't replicate the OG controllers?

And saying you can't replicate fast movements in vr, in a single player game, that is just retarded.

>then the game needs the kind of 3D object manipulation only VR can do as a core gameplay mechanic to make up for it.

The best doors in VR are hitman WOA because you just touch them and every door is an automatic door. Some things about VR can be better than real life. I don't miss turning door knobs and fucking with doorhinge inverse kinematics at all. Maybe if this was some kind of swat team simulator it would matter, but don't start thinking everything has to be full simulation autismo in VR.

Perfect, then we're done arguing. On top of playing shitty Korean games, you play third person action games on mouse and keyboard. That tells me any opinion you have about control schemes is completely retarded and everything you just said about HL2's design is wrong.

A series like Thief could lend itself incredibly well to a VR game, but apparently actually using VR controls is a gimmick and what VR games should be is flat games ported to VR.

Notice how this poster went from asking the most basic questions about HL2VR that you would know from watching a few seconds of gameplay and it's been out for years. Yet he's completely unfamiliar with it, which is fine so far. And then when you answer his questions he pulls out this deep idiosyncratic philosophy of VR controls that VR games must adhere to even though he's never even looked at HL2VR, let alone played it and gotten direct experience with what he's condemning. This is the definition of pseud. They just sit around making complex speculative opinions about things they've never played. The mod is free if you own HL2 and a potato can run it. There is no amount of time that will pass that will make this anon play HL2VR and get his real opinion of playing it himself. Instead he will argue for hours against people who played it for no purpose whatsoever.

Want to know how to spot this personality type? They can never accept an informed answer despite asking from a position of ignorance on the topic. The only reason he asked about HL2VR is so he could tell you his opinion about it without having played it. If you don't believe me, keep replying to him.

>>727628798

No, I compared it to HLA, said what that did well in VR, and then asked how HL2 does something comparable. The answer I got was "It doesn't but it doesn't need to because it still feels like it was designed for VR." At that point you're not explaining why HL2 is good in VR, you're just saying VR is inherently good, which is fucking stupid.
>There is no amount of time that will pass that will make this anon play HL2VR
I will, and even if I say it's not a good VR game you'll still get upset.
>Want to know how to spot this personality type?
The same way people can spot redditor pseud armchair psychologists.
>The only reason he asked about HL2VR is so he could tell you his opinion about it without having played it.
I asked how it's a good VR game specifically, like the other Half Life VR game. I didn't get an answer. I got someone who plays Stellar Blade on a keyboard trying to explain good controls. You're not the brilliant judge of character you want to pretend you are.

I may not agree with your opinion after you have played it, but it will at least be your opinion and not made up shit in your head that you shit up threads with. Stop wasting your own time. I didn't get in a conversation with you about HL2VR, those were other anons. I made it abundantly clear I don't talk to retards like you about games because I have described you down to a science.

Quest 3 or 3S, the 3s has a bit smaller resolution and fresnel lenses which means you must keep your eyes straight because anything not in the center is blurry, but it costs only $300, quest 3 has pancake lenses which are way better, it costs $500 and is the best quality you can get at that price.
Both can do PCVR of course but you may want to factor in a new router if you have an old one or it is too far away from your pc.

Yeah that's the point. I wouldn't want you to play a shitty teleport game either. I completely disregarded VR in the teleport era until alyx came out and had smooth locomotion which they only added in the last 2 months of development. VR teleport is like paintball in wheelchairs. Sure people can "play" that, but they really need to be playing fun wheelchair games instead like getting their dick sucked in a wheelchair.

>>727650843
No price on the frame, valve cheaping out in some features might mean they cheap out on the price too

Do not underestimate display port quality video, light weight and comfort, and binocular overlap. The audio situation remains to be seen, a frame can't sound as good as an index, but the quest 3 to my knowledge never had any satisfying audio solution at all. But all this improves VR substantially without getting into zuckshit vs linux PC.
>>
>>727647163
I might be crazy because I can handle smooth just fine but I played with teleport for Alyx. Smooth motion just makes the game so easy especially with how you can combine both, and the combine barely pressures you as it is. It's clear that the game was balanced for teleport. That said, while I prefer it I don't think smooth motion is a perfect answer as it removes some immerson. VR has no great movement solution imo

Most of the worthwhile games are Quest standalone games, I'm not sure which ones of them are exclusive but I believe that most of them are. Frame isn't going to get games. It might sell million systems if lucky and that isn't enough for exclusives. Quest sales are counted in tens of millions

>>727654962
utterly confusing comment because teleport is spammable and instant, and I imagined the game would be easier if I could spam teleport to another spot when my position was shit and I was getting squeezed, or just outright retreat. You are stuck with slow walking speed in alyx so abandoning cover and exposing yourself to get somewhere else isn't viable unlike HL2 where you have sprint and it would just be a HP chip. That's probably why you didn't feel pressure because you could just yeet out whenever you got pressured. I had a totally different experience. The enemies were bullet sponges that would could close in on you and you had to kill them before they got 2 or more flanks on you, or pick a good spot the first time where they get funneled.

Smooth locomotion isn't natural like walking yourself in a gymnasium but I don't find it much less immersive than using smooth locomotion in a flat game. Really the only thing odd is your brain expects headbob when there isn't any. At least with smooth locomotion I move from A to B in a contagious way where I witnessed it. I don't see how you can dismiss that but give the screen flashing black and you appear someone else a pass. One is clearly better than the other and just refusing to call either "great" doesn't explain why you like teleport better when I see it was worse in every way. I'm not calling you a liar or retarded or anything but this makes no sense to me. One of has probably has a weird idiosyncratic opinion and I don't think it's me.

>>727655812
Frame is ARM and valve says the translation layer generally runs android games unless it calls meta specific APIs or something. There's no reason to think porting quest games will not be easy and it seems like a priority from valve to make it that way. It has better specs so there's more overhead. It just won't get zuck funded exclusives under contract or something.
>>
>>727656037
Anon... if you choose smooth locomotion you can still teleport, you can move at double speed, it costs you nothing
>>
>>727656482
Yeah I didn't use it. Just like how you can use smooth locomotion you generally didn't use it. It costs me teleporting which I don't like for the same reasons I wouldn't want teleporting a general movement method in flat half life.
>>
>>727656673
That's fair. Another reason I switched is that I found that with teleport, I would actually lean around cover and shit while with the stick I'd become lazy and slide back and forth to use cover like a flat fps.
Again I'm not thrilled with either but I felt like the game was balanced and designed around teleport (because it probably was). It really could've used more aggression in general though, things like the grenade fuses were insulting when if anything you should be able to throw grenades back faster than in HL2

>>727657218
Yeah I have similar issue where if I get lazy and don't physically turn I'll use smooth locomotion to strafe or walk backwards casually in a way I'd could never do in real life. I think what would help you use natural locomotion to pop cover is to imagine that your body is your hitbox and you're leaning out for a reason. But the hitbox in alyx seemed to be just your head so it didn't matter.
>>
>>727617349
You can complete it without any fetch quests, just stack some boxes at the park with zombies, where you met quest giving ghost first time. Then climb on top of the buildings with boxes or through stacking items on top of each other then jump on the high wall and get back to where you came from, it can be completed in less than 2 minutes.

VR and keeping it in Thi4fs setting aren't doing the numbers any favors.
That said thi4f probably has my favorite character moment in the series. The sheer confusion and deflation in the baddies voice after you nick the stone from while he's in the middle of sermonizing was great. Shocking natural and human moment. He's genuinely so confused as to what's going on for a moment. A shining gem in a pile of dogshit.

Is this a new character? It's fucking weird to introduce a sidekick and give them their own game in one stroke. Imagine if alyx wasn't a character introduced in half life 2 and just invented for half life alyx. It would be really obvious that this character was made just so you wouldn't be playing as gordon freeman and no other narrative reason. The character being female isn't even the problem. It would be just as dumb and serve no purpose to introduce a new male character instead just using the main character. Kojima at least admitted that for when he made raiden for MGS2 and it's always been divisive.
