LA Noire is (was) one of the best 3D Vision games available, the implementation was/is excellent, if you have the material required (120mhz screen + integrated capture & glasses).
I'm not surprised that it is the first Rockstar VR production, I will definitely buy, once sure that it works for us Rifters.

Good news for VR in general, Vive in particular.
Get a Grasp, get a Grip, get Rifting.

No reason this won't work with the rift, shame the controls will be gimped down to the Vive dev kit... I mean commercially released wands, rather than use the full control the touch and probably knuckles will offer.

This is why this year will probably be the last year that Oculus announce another $250m for developers next year. The AAA titles are now starting to appear. Great news.

Come come now. Devs have Knuckles. No gimping needed. If anything Rifters will get the gimped down Touch version lol

But they're not appearing on OH where they need to be to make OH sustainable. 


Seriously... this thread isn't about Vive vs Rift; you lost that battle. Don't be such a sore loser, time to move on mister 😉

Also, all VR titles playable by the Rift will appear automatically in OH. I've downloaded external titles like the Tomb Raider 2 VR Mod and Resident Evil VR... both are now in my OH Library. You have no idea what you're talking about.

They're not appearing to buy on Oculus Home is what I meant. You lose.


That's not what you said originally. Per usual, you lose one battle and then try to move the goal post. It's never worked for ya in the past, and aint gonna work for you here either. You lost, move on 😉

Having never played LA Noire, everything I know about it is from Gamer Poop videos, so my understanding may be a bit off. 🙂

I'm sure the game will be cute n' all, but it is just a remaster of an original game. As most folks are saying on the related Facebook pages...
So instead of making a new la noire, they took the cheap route and decided to remaster

At least you are working on LA NOIRE. What about making a new game called LA NOIRE 2

Stop remastering all your games and make a godamn sequel

I haven't seen anyone mention this on the forum yet, so might as well talk about it here (if Shadow doesn't mind). We should all expect to start seeing Vive exclusives popping up over the next year; as noted by the 2017 VR/AR Innovation Report, which can be downloaded here:
http://reg.vrdconf.com/VRDC-2017-Innovation-Report

I grabbed a copy and read through it. I thought about creating a new thread to discuss it, but the contents are prime for a "VR HMD War" which has been highly overplayed.

The thing I found most interesting is the fact that Developers are actively planning to make exclusive content for the Vive, as shows by these survey results:

Now, before this goes flying off the rails, I want to say that I believe this is a good thing. Platform Exclusives are a very healthy way to use competition to drive innovation. For example, if La Noire remains exclusive to the Vive... my first thought is, "that's okay because Dead Secret 2 is coming to the Rift."

It's not about competition wars, it's about looking forward to the resulting innovation. Then maybe Rockstar Games will finally make an LA Noire sequel (as fans clearly want), and then Rift owners will look forward to Dead Secret 3! The cycle of fun continues. And that's what it's supposed to be about anyway: fun.

More exclusives are coming, and if Rift owners want to play them then we may have to do what other folks have done... download Revive to use its OpenXR Layer:
Revive Creator Joins OpenXR Initiative ‘to help create a truly open VR standard

If I ever use Revive, it certainly won't be for a Remastered game.

Windows HMD's are not a platform, they are fancy monitors. It is not reasonable to argue that an Acer monitor exclusive is a good thing nor is it reasonable to argue the same for the Rift, Vive, Pimax 4k or any of the others.

Except monitors don't require that games are written with device specific sdks to run on them.
