I won't be here or watching live but check later for the actually new stuff (not trailers for games we've seen more than enough of if they're only done to have something exclusive - if that - for the showcase or to promote upcoming ports, which are cool to get but we already know what to expect).

So, there was a TON of stuff so I edited below with what I think a) wasn't part of it b) was an actual release of something just so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, of course it's far from the biggest stuff shown (like DEFY!!!) so watch the thing/read the UVR article detailing all that was shown there.

Pond Scum looks like a fun indie platformer, don't ignore it just because of a plain release tweet, I posted a trailer earlier on Dec 11 but there's no new one now.

Is there a way to get a big 3D screen in PCVR?

I want to play some non-VR games in VR, but I’m not a fan of any sort of conversion. I just want a big screen that has depth to it. I hacked my 3DS recently and got to appreciate the 3D effect, and I think it’d be pretty cool for PC games too.

Any programs out there which do that? Or is it just vorpX?

It's been a long road, but we're finally here.

This is the initial release of UEVR, a universal tool for enabling VR in UE4 and UE5 games.

Supported versions
Unreal Engine versions 4.8 - 5.3

The MechWarrior 5 mod is a neat (first?) case of a mod made to work alongside Praydog's UEVR injector as that handles the VR rendering functions and what not but the game has been further modified to accomodate VR best with new cockpits, 3D HUD and other gameplay & visual elements. Can't wait for more🔥

So against my better judgment, I bought vorpX.

It's a bit of a mess to get a game running, and I hate it when it tries to make a game something it's not (aka turning a game designed for a screen into a game that can be played as a "full fat" VR game), but the theatre mode is exactly what I wanted out of a 3D conversion.

Take a game, stick it on a big ass screen, make it 3D. It's pretty awesome. £35 is a lot for just that, but you know what? It works. On some games. I definitely recommend giving it a look, because the extra depth of your games in 3D is pretty cool. It kinda reminds me of how excited I was by 3D on the 3DS back in the day.

Cool stuff, though personally I'm in this hobby for the spatial gaming (lol) and other platforms seem more fully featured towards that aspect of XR and are more budget friendly to boot (yet I'm still just saving up, lol). But you can't ignore Apple I guess, even if this clearly isn't aiming to be the next iPhone, maybe Mac Pro.

$3500 is a lot for what Apple’s asking, but the price will come down in iteration 2 or 3.

I don’t think Apple will ever do VR gaming, because they don’t have a controller for this, nor do they seem interested in allowing one.

I think at most, we’ll get gaming with a gamepad on a big screen in the Vision Pro. I don’t even think we’ll get 3D gaming.

Happy to wait this one out indefinitely.

More emulation releases for VR are always good, CitraVR wasn't what I expected but sweet! The 2.0 update mentioned for Arcade Time Capsule is available too! I imagine you already know about EmuVR but if not just google for that and enjoy it too. VR does everything, it brings the future & revives the past as well!

Also, this guy putting a variety of full OS on Quest. Somehow. Pretty impressive but I don't have a way to try it and see performance and utility, go check it out.

Also, Disney made something that could be pretty revolutionary for VR. I don't get how it works :shrugblob:

Cool new trailers in this showcase (and some more stuff you missed by not following me too, jerk).

New stuff from Zero Caliber 2, The Obsessive Shadow, Silent Slayer, Bow-Bots, Exoshock & more...
