Physically Walking Across Fallout 4 VR

[@Bonk2027]

There’s a device called the Kat VR that is basically a treadmill you can walk infinitely with so if you have $2000 to spare…

[@cammmy]

I backed the Katwalk C on Kickstarter during lockdown. Spent many, many hours running around no man's sky when I couldn't go to the gym.

[@naturesfinest2408]

​@cammmy is it that good? I want one

[@Dead_Heir]

It is good and it's only $1000 now iirc

[@intensevideogame]

@@BlackMoonHowls I meant when you have to walk irl instead of pushing forward a joystick. Everything feels a lot further, and even the smallest of distances can seem like the largest of tasks.

[@Zegger]

@@BlackMoonHowls Walking in your room makes everything seems so damn bigger. A guy playerd the entirety of HLAlyx like that and watching his videos showed how long it really would take to walk along the world. Its nuts.

[@thesavagenarwhal]

Thrillseeker did something similar in Skyrim, but he at least used a treadmill thingy-if I remember correctly he said it was like a nightmare lol, massive props to you walking the entire map in your room without a treadmill thingy.

[@RedZFlame]

i think the big difference is the katwalk he used (the treadmill thing to help you walk like it's irl) still emulates thumbstick movement, so if you walk in a direction at least you're walking full speed in that direction. habie used his actual feet to move, which really emphasized the distance he walked, and you can see the difference between using his feet to walk and using the thumbstick, thumbstick is like 10x faster lmao

[@randyx007]

Yeah the onnimill or whatever the hell he used would make it a lot easier.

[@harrasika]

Disrupt was, I believe, the first one to do this 3 years ago on a normal treadmill.

[@ward0g415]

Yeah, but a lot of the problems Thrill had with his KatWalk was because he didn't lube up the platform. He was still new to using it, so he didn't know he had to do that until after he shot the video. I use a silicone spray on mine, but it comes with a little dropper bottle for this. There will still be friction when you walk, so it's going to be more of a workout than normal walking, but it won't feel nearly as bad. It also helps reduce the wear on the platform.

[@ward0g415]

@@RedZFlame Yes, but the KatWalk also tries to measure your paces so it knows how far to move the thumbstick for your speed, and how long to hold it there as you're walking. The KatWalk C Thrill used in that Skyrim video really only had an accelerometer for each foot, so it could tell how fast your feet were moving, but not really how far or in which direction. The 2nd gen KatWalk has optical sensors under the feet, like a mouse, so it can actually measure your stride. It's still not 100% perfect, but it's way better than the first gen.

[@yourfriendrayzthor7606]

I would spend 99% of all my time in vr just walking if i had room or even one of those treadmills

[@tartriuspheonixdadam9308]

Look into kat locomotion sensors. Relatively affordable, you walk/run in place. I'm gonna use mine on a mini trampoline, maybe with an anti fatigue mat too.

[@Underqualified_Gunman]

You can get natural locomotion and 2 switch controllers and just walk in place to walk forwards.

[@yourfriendrayzthor7606]

i would get a setup but im broke

[@avokka]

100%, I'd invest if I could for a Kat Vr treadmill

[@adicsbtw]

Fun fact: OVR Advanced Settings has a setting to automate the turning around. It reads in your wall locations from SteamVR and uses them to tell when you should turn. If you have a large enough play space, it can basically make it into a giant loop that you walk around in. I've never truly been able to use it well though because my play space is smol

[@biochemicks2709]

That sounds really cool. How small is your play space? Mine is a4round the minimum required for stand up gaming, would be great if it worked though

[@adicsbtw]

@@biochemicks2709 I'd estimate it to be no larger than 6 feet in both length and width You really need enough space to take 3 or 4 comfortable steps forwards in any direction for it to work well. You basically need a full room dedicated to VR

[@iman132394]

I really feel like Habie should get a vr treadmill so he actually could walk these places

[@toh6261]

I have a great idea. We could nuke Boston in real life and THEN actually walk around 👍

[@abigailwilcox8164]

It needs to actually record the headset moving in 3D space so treadmill would need to map to an input that controls movement

(sees video) "Oh, Habbie got a VR Treadmill, cool!" (watches first 2 minutes) "What the fuck is wrong with this guy?"

[@acheronhades1747]

It hurts even more hearing him call "Concord" Concorde, pronouncing it like the plane, not like the town. It's not even one of the hard towns to pronounce in ma

[@dongvermine]

Who cares..

[@nathanspohn9881]

This whole time, i thought you were going to mention "I got a Katwalk, one of those VR treadmills and did this", not "I walked into my wall and turned around" 😆

[@dasuberpanda]

That seems more fun, but if you have a reasonably long enough room its fine. I used to, and would do lunges in game wall to wall and turning. Really good quadriceps and butt burn.

[@jayknox8072]

This is literally the only way I move in VRChat. I have unbound my move key and I walk infinite figure 8's, just counterturning my controller. It's insane how much it improves a VR game just to walk IRL through it.

[@Barons_Trash_Heap]

totally, if you got good vr space, almost a whole living room tbh, its a great thing to try out. it makes many worlds and places feel more memorable and immersive. with the quest 2 i just walk big circles, you can almost run in a way too if your careful enough... and uh arent affected by motion sickness to badly

[@Hundredthldiot]

This brings back all the stories of friends who've travelled to the US and tried to walk places without "fast travel" by car. Locals thought they were insane.

[@gsyt2356]

American urban planning really is hot garbage.

[@karelpgbr]

As a European who cycles to school, and can then walk through the entire city, without having to share a road with cars, I get a bit annoyed/angry at car-centric planning. Look, I understand that intercity travel has to be by car, they are that far apart. But surely the cities can be greener, more bike and pedestrian friendly. It also helps if the local government stimulates no-car zones and/or emission-zones in city centres where certain emission-levels are banned. This results in less emissions overall, which leads to cleaner air, which leads to healthier citizens. Everybody wins, except the car, but does that really matter? (I’m a massive car guy, I love ICE’s and know a shit ton about cars)

[@ULTRAOutdoorsman]

@@karelpgbrAmericans also get pissed at car-centered planning but if you have anti-oligarchic thought in America or stay unemployed for longer than 100 hours then your life is over

Walking in circles in real life and slowly turning in game worked really well for me in pavlov when i was bored. Always having to stop got annoying really quick.

5:51 very obviously a securitron. "sentry bot-ing intensifies"

[@Krystalchan2009]

Hey Habie, there is actually an option to help with this kinda stuff in the OVR advanced settings (a free application). Effectively how it works is if your playspace is large enough, It will try to rotate your game slowly without you noticing as you walk towards your bounds. So you end up walking in circles irl, but the game walks in a straight line. There are even some VRC worlds to show this in action.

[@mackemar]

We all thought he got a treadmill, but no, he did it the oldschool way

[@alexmueller9837]

i wish i could get the same amount of joy from fallout 4 now as i did back in 2016. now i just mod the game for ten hours and get bored after 45 minutes of gameplay

[@boomdaddymaxwell]

Painful truth. I wish the VR mods would get the same kind of love that skyrim got

[@Here_is_Waldo]

@@boomdaddymaxwell From my understanding, Bethesda in their infinite wisdom made such a hack job of the F4 VR conversion that most of the mods made for SKyrim VR just wouldn't even be possible in F4. Such as having a full-body was one of the first Skyrim VR mods, but there's something about F4 that means it can't be done.

[@PyroManiac3761]

Watching Habie doing anything that requires a brain is like having a mid life crisis over a dry peanut butter sandwich.

[@MegaJman143]

“I was absolutely swimming in my smooth brain urges to walk through the woods with a gun” Habie is one step closer to just enlisting in the infantry. Or just walking through a national forest with a gun

[@SammScripted]

This literally why I love Fallout 3 so much. The vast amount of nothingness sets the apocalypse mood, and when you find a point of interest, even if there's not much there, it's an exciting time that makes you feels so damn immersed.

[@ezze-does-it]

Isn't this Fallout 4 lmao

[@eternalmiasma5586]

btw the official name for this technique is redirected walking

[@ward0g415]

I just ordered a waifu cup so someday Habie can afford a Kat Walk. This was a cool video, but pacing around your room and turning around each time you hit a wall must have been a pain, lol.

[@doublelunch24]

Fun fact: This technique is called "infinite walking" and it's really hard to make look good with full body tracking!

[@astro_saturn]

i do this in vrchat with full body tracking, but my trick is walking around in a circle and finding just the right rotation in the opposite direction to counteract the spinning, making it so you can perpetually walk forward. it always confuses people because it looks like you just have a massive playspace. its so funny

[@thegethconsensus393]

Thanks for your lovely video. I would honestly be happy to watch all of the footage - like have something running in the background

A strategy I've heard is walk in circled in real life and use smooth turning to "walk straight"

the is an infinite walking technique for vr which is basicly walk in a circle around your room clock wise while rotating your in game character counter clock wise so that your always moving straight forward

[@JISHBOSIN]

When I play Skyrim VR I don't allow myself to fast travel anywhere (I don't physically walk) but allowing yourself to see all the sight along the way as well as being more present in the world. Enriches so much of the thing Bethesda games used to get right (the world/atmosphere).
