5:1 ratio on display here, 80% of the frames are synthetic and don't take any user input into account. Absolute madness. If this works, I'll be gobsmacked.

I am totally guessing here, but it may work the same way as the Time/Space Warp in some VR headsets.
They generate synthetic frames based on the last frame and the most recent position/orientation of the headset.
But in this case they would create the new frames based on the most recent mouse/controller position.

I also didn't get to choose my name at the beginning. I just assumed it used the one from FH4 since it was the one I setup in that game. Or just coincidence.

Also, I think the avatar has a British voice since it seems that you are already famous and visiting from Britain (from FH4).

I still don't understand how a company can sidestep Apple's commission regardless of the payment system they choose. In effect these are just digital consignment stores. If it was a physical store that's like saying someone can bring their own shit in, use your space and resources and not have to give you a dime for it. In what universe would that be remotely fair?

That is not really the same though.
It is more like buying a Sony dvd player from Walmart, where Walmart get their cut of that sale. And then Walmart expects to get a cut of every dvd you rent from the local dvd store.

Didn't Microsoft have it in their contracts with some developers that if they wanted to put their game on the xbox, then they were not allowed to have the game on another platform with better graphics then the xbox?

Maybe they have a similar deal here?

That said... I highly doubt that Microsoft will make them switch engines, especially if TES6 is already in mid development.

Maybe Chris Roberts can teach them how it's done. Actually, maybe he shouldn't.

John Carmack seems quite happy about it.


It may allow him to work on the open source id games like doom and quake (for Quest VR). He mentioned in one of his VR hallway Q&As that he couldn't because Zenimax still hated him.

Carmack tweet:
"Great! I think Microsoft has been a good parent company for gaming IPs, and they don't have a grudge against me, so maybe I will be able to re engage with some of my old titles."

I don't get what's going on with that. There are cards on eBay with dozens of bids and currently sat at over £50,000 ($64,000). Is it fraud / money laundering or just really rich people that must have it now?

Maybe people are purposely bidding very high with no intention of paying. As an FU to the seller who can't sell it until it is relisted.

Well, not exactly a decade, more like four years. The Oculus Rift consumer version only came out in 2016.

For an early Half-Life VR fix you can now play HL1 (Lambda1VR) which has been ported to the standalone oculus quest headset.

With the bonus being that you can now connect the quest to the PC and also play PC VR games on it. In theory that includes the next HL:A as well.

I know, you're right. I can't really remember stuff that happened that long ago. It was a feeble attempt to poke at those complaining.


But having invested in most of the oculus vr hardware since the DK1 days I'm kinda biased.

Reminds me of when Quake 3 was one of the first games requiring a GPU.
There was lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth by those not willing to buy an expensive hardware device just to play a game.

I'll wait a few days for people to beta test this.

Just yesterday a Logitech options update made my Logitech mouse disappear from the options and GHub software. The mouse works (not well, though) but is no longer shown on the list of logitech hardware.
I tried everything (uninstall, re-install, use a different usb port, install the software with admin rights, and so on) but nothing worked. The mouse does work with standard microsoft drivers but it feels VERY different. If there isn't be another update to fix this very soon, I will go for a new mouse - but not one made by Logitech.

I had a similar issue. I received my mxmaster 3 mouse yesterday and the logitech software that I then installed did not pick up the unified dongle. After about 15 minutes the software updated itself and then everything started working properly.

Streaming just removes one kind of cheating. The user can still run a program on his machine that monitors the stream and controls the mouse aiming etc.
