Tried the beat saber with 8KX today, it was awesome

Finally, I got some time. So I thought, hey, why not play a game with the 8KX?
My friend Miracle told me the beat saber is very popular now and it is easy for someone like me(who never played any games with VR headset before) to take a start.

It was really awesome! :laughing:

The FOV was large and things were so clear in the view. I almost lost myself in the game. It just felt so real! When the door( the rectangular glittering thing, what is it by the way? ) came, I was freaked out, never succeeded in dodging that. :expressionless: So I lost the game again and againā€¦sorry~

Although Miracle seemed to have more fun than I did by just standing by and laughed at me the whole time. He was like, ā€œWhat are you doing?!!! You canā€™t be so slow! Move! Move! faster! God, you look so funny! hahahaha!ā€ :no_mouth:

Anyway, I really had a great time in this game. :smile:
Does anyone have other recommendations? No violence, please. I am just afraid of guns, fighting, blood, or something like that^^

Download ValveĀ“s ā€œThe Labā€. Free experience, looking awsome on the 8kX

Edit: Some more: Nvdia VR Funhouse (Free), Subnautica could be interesting (Exploration mode without fighting or story) Underwater feels awsome. The Blu, Tilt brush (if you are into arts/painting), Google Earth VR to feel Superman (-Girl :wink: ) and fly through the skyā€¦

Here are a few from my Steam wishlist. I havenā€™t played any of these yet, but they sound like something you might enjoy.

  • IL DIVINO: Michelangeloā€™s Sistine Ceiling in VR (Itā€™s free.)
  • Aperture Hand Lab (also free)
  • Nature Treks VR ($9.99 US)

Why havenā€™t I played them? I only recently got some VR controllers (Index), which are required for these games/apps, and currently Iā€™m playing Half-Life: Alex.

Hi Hammerhead ^^

If you have a chance you can try :
Job Simulator
Richieā€™s Plank
The Blue
Meditation VR

And just in case you like arts, like Painting/Sculpture/Architecture you can check 3 VR museums :
The VR Museum of Fine Art
IL DIVINO: Michelangeloā€™s Sistine Ceiling in VR
VersaillesVR | the Palace is yours
I made a video about them a few months ago :

Of all popular VR games, Beat Saber strikes me as a title that doesnā€™t benefit terribly from the 8KX (especially the lower refresh rate). But hey, itā€™s good that it works fine.

(Since everyone else is giving recommendations I thought I would too)

If you like museum like experiences some friends of mine have developed a photorealistic representation of the Titanicā€™s near identical sister ship the Britannic. The experience has several modes, you can tour the interior and exterior and also experience the sinking in real time exactly how it happened. They are historians and very talented modellers who have created a near lifelike experience that I think will look absolutely amazing on the 8kx. Here is their game- Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean on Steam
