The Index thread (please keep to subject)

When is yours due mate ? I'm so far swinging 70/30 in favour of keeping after exhaustive testing this weekend.

Whoaa. I asked the question awhile back when I saw that it was listed as Index supported game if it was still alive... Guess I got my answer. It's still one of my favorite VR games. 

But quite strange why Vanishing Realms is under NDA... That does increase the odds that this game may have something to do with the Index launch - we'll see in 12 days. Because if Kelly Bailey was the sole responsible person for this game then NDA wouldn't make sense, right? Then again, other persons have been asked not to judge Index before June 28, maybe that's all there's to the Vanishing Realms NDA (if Bailey has implemented Index support)...

Who knows, maybe Valve subsidized the update to get it finished finally.

That would be awesome, like - Gabe: "Sit tight, Kelly, we're sending a team of 25 guys, we'll have those walls textured and shining in no time - and round shapes for the coins and more" 

Ok, probably not exactly like that - I'll keep my fingers crossed though ;)  

BTW, Assetto Corsa was pretty horrible - first the game didn't start in VR, had to google that I needed to choose Oculus in the in-game options menu, and then my gamepad didn't work (spent quite some time on that, sigh), then I found out I needed to use the mouse to start a race, and first then I could use the gamepad, double sigh. Lesson learned, no more sims with lackluster VR support, I'm going for the hoverbike, it's downloading right now  o:)  

Yea I wasn't impressed with Assetto Corsa either, it's a pain to get it going. I enjoy Dirt Rally and Project Cars 1 & 2 more. 

Is it despatch day today @pyroth309 ??

Another cool demonstration of knuckles in action. Actually probably the best I have seen.

Today and tomorrow the Index embargo on certain pieces of information drops so expect to see some really cool videos.
