the goofy looking accessories actually do a great job lampshading how silly people look playing VR too. I honestly feel like “VR as a toy” is a better way to sell VR than some kind of high concept virtual experience thing

also getting major prop cycle vibes from the bird game
I’m a little conflicted on this one, since it looks pretty cool to try out. But having bought one of the previous Labo kits, I know that they basically amount to about 10 hours of fun building time and then playing around with the tech demo-like software for a bit before the cardboard just goes to the corner to gather dust.
Lucky this time you can buy a starter kit, and then get the other kits separately so it’s not as much of a hit to the wallet

it’s a shame virtua racing itself was never that great compared to outrun and daytona other than as a cool megadrive SVP tech demo (is this a bad take???) but gotta love AM2
awful!! I love virtua racing. It is very good, maybe not as good as outrun 2 or daytona but still
Port scud race + arcade daytona 2 pls I haven’t played either

this is the worst goddamn take and you should be shamed for it
almost as much as M2 should be shamed for not including any of the 32X or PS2 tracks

I wonder if a Nintendo-published 3D viewing mode will be a hook that can later be used to export a 3D image in an emulator for something like VR at higher resolution. I wonder if Breath of the Wild would play nicely with framerate hacks like some Dolphin projects…
Huh. Did not expect that would work.
The WiiU version emulated in CEMU does fine with 60fps. I don’t see why the Switch version would be different. And their is a Switch emulator which already has BoTW in pretty decent condition. I bet by fall, it will be running BoTW as well as CEMU. If not better, due to some differences which may require less hacks for the rendering.
Check out first person mode in CEMU
oh and a new 100fps mode

this video isn’t showing up for me. is the implication of the image here that i can…use my PSVR with…my Switch, somehow???
it’s a twitter video so try the direct source
But yes, by following that chart people seem to be saying that you can plug your Switch into your PSVR and use the headset. The only real practical use for it seems to currently be if you want to play BotW in 3d since the motion controlled camera that you’ll be missing out on isn’t very good anyway and you can just use the right stick as normal, the Switch will actually be in docked mode so you’ll be getting better performance then with the Labo and the PSVR OLED display looks way better then the Switch screen anyway.

Also, you could lay down in bed. Which is a dream of mine for gaming.
The first person mode for BoTW in CEMU, would be amazing in PSVR.
not yet! tbh, that flow chart and the descriptions of the set up on that Twitter thread are all too vague for me. i feel like i can figure it out, but it would maybe take a couple hours, and i didn’t
have enough free time to dedicate to it this weekend.
Digital Foundry hacked an old switch to bring us some insights

having done this same thing, but on a Vita, I am not all shocked that overclocking the GPU makes games less shitty
is there a tasteful minimalist slip case for the switch out there? or do I have to carry around a literal toybox everywhere I go if i want a little protection
