So I ordered an occulus and touch setup, with two sensors. Comes Saturday.

Arizona Sunshine seems like a no brainer, but what else is "good" with vr?

I figure if you're here reading this, you have similar tastes in games, so discuss.

I know 7days doesn't yet support vr, so I'm looking for groundbreaking experiences.

I love the Wii and Wii U so I'm down with the cheesy, as long as it's fun.

Are there real advantages to more sensors?

Good, glad to see arizona sunshine in there... Here's hoping it goes on sale quicker than my ability to hold out from paying full price gives in.

 
Ho. Ly. Crap.

This thing is awesome. From the games that I got with my bundle to google earth to friggin' minecraft. Just... wow.

 
So, Arizona Sunshine. Wow. Just wow.

But pretty much requires a 3rd sensor (for the rear) since the zombies come from behind on that one, and when you turn around w/o a rear sensor, your gun disappears. Not a fan of it's "movement" either, but I found some advanced options to disable to teleport. I also don't like the "holster" button, as I end up hitting it quite a lot, so I hope key rebinding is an option somewhere too.

I'm in a 5' x 5' space and finding I need/want more room to move around.

 
Weird, 2nd time I was asked that today...

A friend had one (yes I have real life friends) and he's who talked me into vr; he said it didn't really make a difference, that it was just a platform, and the hand devices had great reviews.

Looking at vive now, the 100 buck difference would have made me choose oculus.

 
I tried the Rift twice at a Best Buy and while the tech demos were interesting I felt more like I was looking through a porthole window into the world than being in the world when playing the Rift. I actually liked the PS4 VR better for feeling more open and less tunnel vision. Maybe I just had a couple of bad demos.

You sound like you really like the view though you complain a lot about zombies sneaking up behind you for someone who is a veteran of this game. We should be the world's elite force for dealing with zombies that suddenly appear behind us.... ;)

 
They don't teleport either, they actually sneak up because you're busy with the ones in front.

...haptic feedback would be nice, to let me know when I'm being gnawed on from behind.

 
To be clear, Arizona sunshine is a gem in a field of berries.. Berries are great, But a gem is a gem.

If that makes sense.

If I were to demo vr it would be with Arizona sunshine, Google earth, and pr0n.

The tunnelvision is different for everyone, depending on your face or eye I call it symmetry now. The Rift have a smaller field of view but thereby it have better graphics. The sensors are better with the vive.

 
@Guppy

Audioshield is a fun one imo. It is a rhythm game where you listen to songs and got to hit different colored balls to get points. You also can use your own music XD. Depending on song it is harder.

Vanishing Realms is a great RPG in VR.

Both of these are available for the Rift. Sadly two others that i wanted to recommend which are Zombie themed are only available for Vive. They are Horde Z (Coop) and Zombie Training Simulator.

 
Oh? I was under the impression the games weren't hardware specific. Damn.

I hope Rift wins now. =)

Some games are. The steam page for games will state that. It sucks but maybe with time someone will figure out a way so it doesn`t have to be hardware specific or that conversion is easy. Honestly VR is still 5 to 10 years away from really taking off. Right now it is more of a gimmick and cool toy.

Maybe there is a tool that does that already. I know there is one to be able to play Rift games on Vive.

 
What makes the difference? Like, the mask is just a screen, and the hand thingies are just controllers, so what differentiates them I wonder?

Honestly not really sure. Maybe software. Like PS and Xbox have different OSs maybe same is true for Rift and Vive. it is a good question
