COOKING

 

Personally I prefer cooking in real life - but maybe there's inspiration to be gained here 🤔 😁 

 

 

Get it here - 50% off until August 5: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1358140/Cooking_Simulator_VR/

 

Graphics look nice, and devs recommend at least a GTX 1080:

PAINTING

 

I think I'd like this one more than the cooking sim:

 

 

This sim will later be available for Quest, but only PC supports 2048x2048 res, while devs said the Quest version will be 75% reduced to only 1024x1024. 

 

The painting sim is 10% off until August 2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1608400/Vermillion/

 

Devs recommend a GTX 1060 - and this app does look awesome:

Seems both sims are getting great Steam ratings - 91% of 170 Steam ratings are positive for the cooking sim - but this does also look kinda awesome:

For the paining sim 100% of about 70 ratings are positive - thus can't be better.

 

Btw, I never liked the Steam rating system. What does positive mean? Would a score of 6/10 be positive? Would a score of 4/10 be negative? 

In theory, if 155 users each rated Cooking Sim 6/10, then it could match the "91% positive". In comparison I greatly prefer the Oculus Store rating system, where you easily can see if a game has an average rating of let's say 6/10 or 9/10, even if both ratings may count as positive experiences. 2c.

This does look interesting! - Painting using the VR app Vermillion:

Nice point on ratings. They are too simplistic.

So comments are better to know what the game is.

I would like to see community based ratings like "Simmers community is rating this game 90%" or "RPG community is rating it 10%". So I know what to expect from it. 🙂

UploadVR just posted an interview with the maker of Vermillion:

Honestly speaking, I'd lik to join here because this talk seems to me quite close. Besides, once I made a decision to open my restaurant and recently I started to renew equipment there. Therefore, I found out Stainless Steel Shelves which you also might buy for yourself to make your kicthen's space better. It's worth buying it to have better equipment.

Finally bought Vermillion - I'm not much into painting, but this app is a 10/10 and beyond awesome. I could use the highest in-app res settings - and then apply SteamVR res 500% - and still got solid 90 fps. 

The app has ultramersion textures - like Boneworks and Alyx:

And another shot, this time the floor (like the old Chinese saying - "if the floor is good, everything is great" 😉

Vermillion may be part of the small collection of VR apps that we may call "realistic VR experiences" - where devs try to make everything look as real as possible. And using extreme res with highest-end PCVR, the result is very impressive. 

 

If you want to paint without getting paint on the floor or in other inappropriate places - or don't want to buy paint, brushes etc, this app may be the closest you can get to painting in real life. It perfectly fooled my brain - the difference to painting in the real world felt so little that I would not worry about it. 

 

Vermillion is on sale right now - 35% off:
