I got The Climb with the touch bundle, it seems cool enough. I want Chronos, but Ima wait and see if it has a daily sale.
Anything less well known? I grabbed Dreadhalls, because a friend wants to play it.

Of course Arizona Sunshine would go on sale a few days after I buy it. Oh well, it was one of the better games I've played so far. I'd recommend it especially for coop. The other players are far creepier than any zombie in the game, lol. Although a front-facing sensor setup is doable, I'd definitely suggest having 360 tracking for the best experience.

I hope the daily sales do rotate but I have to admit, I prefer the new Steam method. I just don't have the time to check every day.
Edit: Just my notification that my Touch controllers are shipping. They should be here Friday! Woo!

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch

Smashbox Arena is so incredibly fun! It is so polished and plays so well! I can't recommend it enough!

Got my Touch from Best Buy today.
Not sure what I should play first. Anyone has tried them all and can recommend the best titles?

My favorite so far:
Space Pirate Trainer - Wave shooter where you shoot flying droids as they shoot shit at you, time slows down when bullets are close for you to block/dodge, you have an arsenal of weapons at the flip of your thumbstick and timed abilities that have a chance of falling from a destroyed foe. This game is addictive and just active enough to get your arms, legs and fingers tired after a few games.
Ripcoil - Tron-style disc throwing, lean left and right to slide to catch incoming disks (if the discs get past you it's like a goal for opponent). It's fairly simple, but there is a deeper level of knowing angles of outgoing and incoming discs along with slide/catch/punch timings. Love this game, I hope they expand on it, I would love to see spin feel more like the ping pong ball in a table tennis game. The catching and punching mechanics can also be weird (especially at first); you have to know the limits that the game structure allows (It may feel like you're punching through a disc but you weren't in front of it so it doesn't register). Anyway I went to far...fun game for the few asking bucks.
Super Hot - Makes you feel like a dude in a simulation that can change the flow of time, dodge bullets, and shatter faceless enemies. Not much more to say there, it's just an awesome game that's well worth a few playthroughs.
Most of the free things that came with the touch plus already existing Steam games are great too (The Lab, play the Lab). These are just some highlights of mine.
So I have had a Rift since like August and still don't really have any core games to play on it. Mostly have only played free content.
For someone without Touch (for now), what are some of the best games on the Oculus Rift worth checking out? Looking for something that really shows off the immersive capabilities of the Rift. Anything from this sale worth while?

I just received my touch but i dont have 3 usb 3.0 ports the set up seems to not want to continue without it what can i do ? i thought you could try without three 3.0 ports
You don't need a 3.0 port for the headset itself.

Member
Oh ok i'll try this. Weird even when i put the sensor in 3.0 usb port it tells me that is not good. The weird part is that was "green ok "for the sensor when i had only just one sensor and the headset in the 3.0 ports.
Edit : hum i plugged them in other ports and it seems good. Really weird.
So before i buy SuperHot i only have a playspace of 1 Meter by 1.5 meter, some of you that play that game did you have the recommanded space or smaller playspace ?
StudioTan
Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Chronos (3rd person but some very cool VR moments and a great 10-14 hr single player campaign)
Edge of Nowhere (also 3rd person but still great in VR and some amazing sense of scale)
The Climb
Elite Dangerous
Obduction
Damaged Core
You should get Touch though.
My space is about the same and it's fine for SuperHot. You don't have to move much, mostly standing in one spot is fine, but you need room to extend your arms and occasionally duck.
For that matter, I have my HMD and 2 sensors all on 2.0 ports and I have no issues.

If it wasn't third-person, maybe. Luckey's Tale was cool but it's camera was nauseating.
Yeah, definitely enjoyed EoN. Stood out to me as a game that actually had a strong ending, which I find rare in most single player games.

Is Edge of Nowhere still messed up when using revive?

OK SuperHot is freaking amazing !
So there are a bunch of great non-Touch games, but if immersive is your criteria, I have to recommend Obduction. The atmosphere, level of detail, open exploration, and relaxed pace really let you "live" in its world. I got more presence from this than anything else without Touch.
From what I recall, the camera in Edge of Nowhere doesn't shift too often, and when it does, it doesn't sway around. It's definitely not like Luckey's Tale.
Not sure if they are on sale but my favorite VR titles are DOOM 3: BFG Edition and Penumbra: Overture. Both can now be patched with Oculus Touch + Roomscale support.

It wasn't mirroring the in-game display to my desktop unfortunately. I didn't see an option for it either.

Smashbox Arena just added a free multiplayer demo. No reason not to check it out now. Touch owners should own this game
Play it non-VR for screenshots?
It's amazing and the community is great, just as friendly as in Rec Room.
I guess cartoon graphics attract the nicer people?
It's the $600 barrier of entry that's keeping most of the assholes away. Cartoon graphics isn't saving any regular games from toxicity.
I guess you're right.
The community at the moment is very much like the early days of xbox when you didn't mind playing with randoms and having people on your friends list you don't actually know. Long may it continue as I only friend and play with people I know on PSN.

I couldn't agree more about the community. I've played with the devs a few times too and they are as nice as can be and are really humbled by the reception of the game. This game produces nothing but people laughing the entire time and just enjoying themselves

edge of nowhere is my favourite game on VR so far, well worth it at that price

Steam sale is up now. Anyone know if the prices are equal or better in comparison to the Oculus sale?
During the Summer sale the discounts seemed to be equal with few exceptions.

I don't have any USB 3.0 ports on my 2009 PC but the Oculus setup tool said they're just fine. My newer PC has 3.0 ports but Oculus didn't like the one I plugged the sensor into. Yet it worked just fine anyway.
The touch seems pretty much mandatory at this point.
Robinson: The Journey, which debuted on PSVR, is coming next month to Rift. No Touch support - gamepad only.
The free title, 'Dead and Buried' is actually a LOT of fun. Just play that for a while.

Nice! Sucks that there is no touch support though. I tried it on the PSVR and it was a blurry mess. I cant wait to play at 90hz and supersampled

I think it will get it eventually. The PSVR version didn't have motion control at release either (not sure if it ever got it actually).

I really like the Basketball game in VR Sports Challenge, but my god the challenges get difficult. Scoring 30 points in a game requires hitting a 3 every single play and you have very little room for error. It feels really unbalanced since those challenges are required to progress.

Awesome list!
Anyone else have anything cool to add to this? This and the Oculus sale are going to be rough for me, haha.

I heard Touch doesn't work that well with Raw Data, can anyone confirm this?
Do it.
