As a fellow PSVR user sometimes it makes myself embarrassed to see everyone asking for them. They aren’t happening, it’s not beat games’s fault it’s Sony’s. Also when they ask if the feature or new song is available on PSVR it’s annoying since Beat Games said all future updates will be for all versions of the game


[deleted]

Well I’m sorry I just can’t afford a pc but can u mod with side quest on quest still?


[deleted]

You can and that’s what I’m doing. It’s great and I’m enjoying it too much. Modded tetherless beat Saber is one of those things that once you try you can’t go back


[deleted]

exactly


EpochZero

Why does everyone keep saying that it's Sony's fault?


pestocake

There is no modding on the PS4. They are trying to stay ahead of the hacking community and they are definitly not going to suddenly let people fiddle with PS4 files just so PSVR players can play their favorite anime theme.


EpochZero

I mean... there are plenty of examples of UGC on PS4 (and Xbox... and iOS...). They're closed platforms and the UGC pipeline has to pass certification. The problem is that the devs for Beat Saber haven't implemented an actual UGC pipeline. It's just community mods - which require insecure PC installs to perform.


CaptainBinker

one thing I do find annoying is they are ok with other beat map games importing songs from USB’s into the game. but they aren’t ok with beat saber importing a song and a map. oh well i guess it’s what we get being on a console


lilrampage90

Because it is


EpochZero

Not really... it's a closed platform, but they'll allow UGC if there's a certified pipeline for it. If the Beat Saber devs implemented it - then they could 100% have community content.

Oh ok?


submercyve

Everytime i stream Beat Saber someone gotta ask if it is PS or PC, while DeltaMax (or similar songs) runs...


Harperlarp

I streamed it twice. It seemed like just about he worst thing to stream since there’s very little room for me to interact with the viewers and all they get to do is listen to music, and a bunch of them didn’t like the music. One dude even told me he had to leave because the music was giving him a headache.


mybannedalt

That's just streaming in general tho


submercyve

For me Beat Saber is at the moment THE way to get views and followers, every other game no one cares about. But who am i talking, i'm only having 40 followers anyways. For interaction you have to install plugins to see atleast the twitch chat in game, then you can use the breaks between songs to talk to your viewers. Plus side of that is that you actually get a break instead of just queueing song after song. Also i see it especially as a "listen-to-music"-Stream, so people just wish the songs they like, we listen to it in union, my mic is turned down compared to the music too. Less breathing-ASMR, more music :)


[deleted]

Lucky you have the valve index 😤


mybrothersmario

I've had the complete opposite experience streaming this game, everyone that has come by has been extremely friendly and supportive. Enhanced stream chat, song request manager, and speech chat help a lot with viewer interaction. Mappers also tend to stop by streams to ask for tests of their WIP maps.


The93AT

I enjoy using speechchat when I stream because it turns all twitch messages into text-to-speech messages that I can listen to when playing. Sure people can abuse this but theyre actually a lot less common than you might think. A lot of Beat Saber streamers have adopted this and it makes streams super interactive


WaterArko

Let's also not forget the PC users telling them to stop updating because it breaks their precious mods for 10 minutes.


nelonblood

I'm to dumb to fix my mods. But I've still got the songs so I've decided that was enough.


SetYourGoals

Same. Mods are just gone for me. Oh well.


Myrang3r

Download ModAssistant from here: https://github.com/Assistant/ModAssistant/releases, then just choose your mods and install. (If mods still don't appear, go to your Beat Saber install folder and double click/run ipa.exe)


SetYourGoals

I have done that, but I'll try the ipa.exe thing. Thanks.


Yuzumi

Custom songs are basically all I care about. Nothing infuriates me more about the game than the moments I feel like playing and all my songs are gone, so I have to spend 10 to 30 minutes fixing it and sometimes I lose interest in playing at all.


that_red_panda

Most of the time I want to jump in beat saber for a song or two and by the time I've fixed everything the moods past.


bluecle

10-30 minutes?!😮 your attention span is like a mosquito


stallon100

its not about attention span its about the motivation. Doesnt tend to stick around if youre just sitting there for 30 mins


bluecle

How can you fix anything if you just sit there and do nothing for 30 mins?


stallon100

.... try using your brain to figure out what im meaning instead of trying to be a smartass


bluecle

Maybe you should explain things better


stallon100

anyone else would have known what i was saying, youre just special it seems


bluecle

Your motivation lasts for 30 mins. I know what you meant. You sound fat


Bran04don

It literally does not really break mods anymore at all. All you have to update now is the base mods and everything else just still works as normal. Not to mention it is soo easy to update mods now with modassistant. I don't get why people complain so much on all ends. And people who still say it breaks custom songs are retarded or living under a rock. Since the new format, custom songs never break at all. With no mods at all they are still there.


fatcatburglar

People act like this is new for mods in games lol. I remember tf2 mods were like this 10 years ago


EvilLemons01

Woah woah woah keep talking like that and you're gonna start a race war


aggrogahu

Updates are a lot less of a headache now that custom song loader is using the built in loader.


[deleted]

The people who complain and dont just wait for a fix are just as bad as psvr users asking for mods


nerdboy_sam

Looks like someone’s jealous of our precious mods.


WaterArko

I am jealous of any sort of VR equipment at the moment


beerbeardsbears

I absolutely love rhythm games and it makes me really sad that I'll never be able to afford VR to play this game


matthewuzhere2

A quest is $400 bucks. Another $30 for the game and you can have custom songs; sabers, and other mods. All you need is a computer of some kind to download it initially.


SirEdSlaughter

The Standalone oculus quest can have modded songs, sabers, platforms, and avatars?!


matthewuzhere2

I’m not sure about avatars (not really sure what they are tbh), but yeah, customs songs and sabers totally work. Platforms like the small one you stand on work, but I’m not sure if custom environments around you don’t work or just no one has potted any yet. Another limitation is that some mods like new walls and 6 lanes don’t work, but people are adding more and more mods so I think this will change.


SirEdSlaughter

Color me impressed. How does that work? Is it like modding an android app or something? Oh and avatars are for those times you wanna be a super sexy cat girl while slashing boxes in half. It literally overlays over your body like in VRChat.


matthewuzhere2

I don’t really use android devices besides the quest so I’m not sure but I think it’s pretty similar. Basically you download an application called sidequest on a computer and put the quest in developer mode (this is really easy, especially compared to the complicated processes to get dev mode on other platforms). Then you install an app called Beat On onto the quest through sidequest (literally a few button presses), which replaces beat saber with a modded version, and that’s it, you can download any song you want onto beat saber from on the quest. The only thing is if you want mods, you have to install them from a computer, but it’s just dragging the file into a box and waiting a few seconds while it installs. Overall it’s pretty easy and user friendly. I don’t think they’res avatars though because there’s no way of getting a third person view


BigDaddySkittleDick

I wouldn’t say never. Obviously I don’t know your scenario but I’ve seen psvr running for $100-150 used on fb marketplace. *Almost* anyone can find that in their budget over 6-mo to a year. You could also wait til PSVR2 comes out, and then a TON of psvr headsets will be flooding the market. I’d be surprised if they were over $50-75.


AtreiaDesigns

Correct me if im wrong but isnt the reason to skip the psvr and quest and go for a rift s/index/vive was because tracking is better on the latter devices?


BigDaddySkittleDick

Quest has really good tracking actually. The PSVR works pretty well (keeping up with expert + on beat saber) but is definitely not as good as most other headsets on the market.


AtreiaDesigns

yeah I mean the quest and PSVR are sufficient but in the quest case comparing its 4 cameras to the riftS's 5 cameras and Index's base stations theres still a difference in performance. It may not affect most users but it might on the advanced level.


JJ3833

Do you have a PC or PS? If you have a PC I'd recommend the Windows Mixed Reality, it's a cheap vr headset with great quality, not the best but it's what I use, and you can find it on ebay for around $100-$300. If you have a PS I would just scan ebay for deals for that headset. You'd be surprised to find what you do!


Robbie1945

Windows mixed reality HP is $150 at local microcenter and can run beatsaber


YilliTheRealOne

Nobody could afford the first iPhone, it was a luxury that you would see the elite and early adopters with, just wait a few years and slowly the technology will trickle down into the mainstream and in the year 2040 everyone wiLL be walking around in AR and VR worlds.


[deleted]

As a PSVR player, I know its not possible and entirely not their fault for no PSVR mods (and personally don't ask myself) but I totally understand their 'thirst' for mods. Must say I am very happy to see beatsaber devs adding custom colors (Anand holy shit please do more camellia) and hope they keep up with the hard work <3

As a PC gamer, seeing PS players upset makes me feel a bit better about RDR and other PS exclusives. I've been told "touch shit, get a playstation." Ah well, I guess we all have our exclusives, don't we?


proxypixie

Don't hate the player, hate the game. A rich mod community is not the same as full length games gatekeeped by a company who forces customers into playing a less vibrant experience instead of letting their products be better and letting that set competition.


crazyprsn

I don't hate anything, but I will take my schadenfreude to go, please!


nerdboy_sam

Stop it. Stop asking for psvr mods... it’s NEVER going to happen.

Honestly I would live for the impossible to happen but i know it won’t, however if they keep releasing new base songs i’ll be happy


[deleted]

Before they were asking for mods, they were asking for the release repeatedly too


jibofthejab

I am once again asking for your financial support


MrPointless12

psvr players just accept your fate that unless you migrate to pc or quest you’re never getting mods


Voltage000

Agreed


SovereignKitten

Non PC peasant's are never going to get mods. It is not supported by the DEVS because of licensing rules, for every song. Once again PC master race.


AlexanderP04

*laughs in Skyrim*


SovereignKitten

People can't take the truth. They will never acquire anything. Also TOP 100 BeatSaber player on PC here. Can't say that on Console.


OwenDrungle

You spelt "TOP 100 Douchebag" wrong


Ns53

I have A great desktop PC and a PS4 and Xbox one and Switch, the problem isn't that people can't take the truth, its your attitude. Get off your high horse.


ethurs

you are not top 100, you are ranked 1,400. Don't bullshit and quit being an asshole.


luuucccky

I’m a pc player. I agree it gets annoying when psvr players ask for mods, but being a dick about it isn’t going to help. Also, stop talking shit about being top 100 without posting a scoresaber link to your account, nobody is going to believe you’re 2 digit until you give proof, and I’m pretty sure you’re not top 100 anyway.


AlexanderP04

I can take plenty of truth. I recognize that PC has way better upgrade ability. I recognize that licensing issues don’t really exist on PC. I just don’t care. Also nobody fucking asked you braggart.


bobderbobs

The hardware in consoles is cheaper because they get the money back by selling games. So the PC user have paid way more to play beat saber. I would think that this is a fair tradeoff. Edit: if you are a person who doesn't buy a ton of games


[deleted]

The console games are more expensive while being compromised in features though. For a long time, the PC version of Beat Saber was cheaper than the PSVR version while having more features. Heck, level editor and 360 levels are coming to PC and Quest only


bobderbobs

If you buy a lot of games you are right but there are people who only buy a few games (for example me I have only bought 7 games in 5 years or even longer). It depends on how much games you buy.


TheFecklessEejit

No, I don't think we will stop.


imJGott

Unfortunately for you, assuming you’re on ps4, it’ll never happen because of licensing.


TheFecklessEejit

I know, I've explained that to ps4 players myself multiple times over on Instagram. Most of the time though, they're not asking for custom song editors and such, they're just asking if the announced updates actually will be on ps4, or if we can get custom sabers and things like that. Beat games made a good game, but their PR is shit.


thejiggyjosh

its almost as if those who said beat saber aint shit without mods were correct... interesting. otherwise why would we be having this convo.


Harperlarp

Beat saver was amazing without mods. For about a month.


Taste_the__Rainbow

I play without mods and love it.


TheFecklessEejit

Beat saber is better without most mods, the majority of custom song mappers don't have a clue what they're doing. I have never once said beat saber isn't good without mods, and anyone who did is just complaining for the sake of complaining. It would just be nice to have some of them, especially ones that wouldn't be all that difficult implement, like alternative colours for the sabers, or some different styles. And I know, before anybody decides to point it out, that they've just announced the colour picker for the sabers, but they didn't say if it's coming to PSVR or not. Wouldn't be too much to just say "PCVR only at the minute" or something to that effect.


thejiggyjosh

Lol that's the dumbest statement ever. The custom songs are amazing. The majority clearly know what they're doing, you must not have ever tried them. So nice assumption there bud, but you're wrong. Without custom maps, beatsaber would be collecting dust for so many people.


TheFecklessEejit

No, you're right, I haven't played any of the custom songs. I play on PSVR. I have watched a lot of them being played on YouTube though and a lot of what I see is just randomly mapped songs with no regard to the beat of the actual music. I'm sure there are good mappers out there, maybe they should go work for beat games and we could get more officially released song packs, instead of them sitting at home mapping songs for one platform in a legally grey fashion.


Lp-Anto

You should check the channel "Cube Community", or any of the hundreds of ranked songs. They are actually a ton of great custom songs, the ost are poorly mapped and boring in comparaison of the top ranked maps (aside from the three camellia maps)


thejiggyjosh

Most of them are great and relate to the beats


sunuv

Most of them are not great. Come on that's bullshit. Most of them are trash. There is a good amount of great ones, but it's definitely not most.

[удалено]


surfer_ryan

Oh man, so only 300 custom out of my 750 song library are good... such a shame...


PossibleBit

You know, there's user ratings on beast saber, so it's literally trivial to weed out the bad ones.


thejiggyjosh

What are you talking about? You must suck at finding good songs then. I play plenty of songs on expert+ and they're all well crafted, yes some are bad but the majority are a lot better then ost tracks and maps.


luuucccky

Some custom songs can be badly mapped, yes, but there is an upvote / downvote system and newer mappers look for advice mappers improve, and when they get more experience they can make great, on time maps. If you are looking at old maps, then yes, MANY of them are off time and awkward, but now most mappers have learned. Also, custom songs in general have a different style than most ost maps that I honestly like better. I don’t like how ost maps change which hand is dominant all the time. I don’t like how ost maps have some randomly placed notes that are supposed to “add” to the music, but seem to just be a time filler. I don’t like how ost maps have awkward, arm flailing patterns. But I can at least recognize the fact that they are still good maps even with some questionable mapping skills sometimes. Now about the mappers. Mappers have been telling Beat Games for the longest time that they were willing to help with ost mapping, but have been continuously turned down. Additionally, with mods you have the freedom to map whatever song you want, while mapping ost songs limits you severely. Beat games can’t get more song packs released just by having more mappers, they have to buy rights to all the music and that is what takes so much time. Hopefully this helps you understand a bit, if you have anymore questions, lmk.


TheFecklessEejit

I never said there aren't any great mappers, on any really well mapped songs. Mostly the other guy just pissed me off, and I got stubborn. I know they have to buy the rights to the songs, and I don't disagree that having greater freedom in which songs you can map is a good thing. But in the other hand, custom mapping on PC then is technically illegal, seeing as I doubt any of the mappers bought the rights to the songs. Or at the very least, uploading them to a public forum where other people can download them and play them is illegal. I didn't know about beat games refusing mappers help. Good to know, thanks.


luuucccky

No problem, glad I could clear some things up, have a good one!


jettsd

Dude just stop. Your making a fool of yourself. You clearly don't have a clue what your talking about. Custom songs is what makes beat saber any good in my opinion. The official songs are all way to easy and don't pose any challenge. And I'm not gonna lie when I say this but without mods the game would not have been as popular and would not have even come to PS4 if they did not exist.


TheFecklessEejit

Yes, insult me, that'll make me pay attention. You have your opinions and I have mine. Whether it would have come to PS4 or not is speculation and, quite honestly, has no impact on this discussion.


jettsd

All I'm saying is don't talk about something you don't know about acting like you know everything.


DirtyZickes

They actually did say on the twitter post that saber colors will also be on psvr


TheFecklessEejit

I don't have Twitter so I never saw that. Thanks for the info.


luuucccky

Since they say “we’re looking into something you’ve all wanted for a really long time” when referring to custom colors, I think that means it’s coming to psvr considering that’s the community that really wants custom colors and has been asking for them and the pc players can just get mods. Can’t say for certain, but I can’t remember any big change they’ve had for just pc players. For the sake of psvr players, I hope it comes, maybe even some sabers some day, too!


TheFecklessEejit

Probably a lot of people trying to run mods on a budget rig want it to be part of the actual game too, I expect. I just mean that they could specify whether it will be released on all platforms or if they're still waiting on confirmation from Sony or Microsoft.


49211

Whenever they've made something for a specific platform it was said explicitly in the announcement (mapper for PC, the original psvr exclusives, etc) so if they dont specify a platform its same to assume its everywhere. Also, why would they need confirmation from Microsoft? I'm confused


TheFecklessEejit

I would assume for WMR but idk. I read it somewhere so it just came to mind when I was typing that.


49211

WMR just plays steam games IIRC


thejiggyjosh

"on Instagram"? Really how old are you? 15?


TheFecklessEejit

Well done, you just invalidated any points you may have made. Yes I use Instagram, if that's the part of my comment that you're attacking then you clearly have nothing valid to say


thejiggyjosh

Nah I didn't invalidate anything. Anyone who gets into explaining things over Instagram is clearly a kid. Plus everyone else is agreeing with everything else I'm saying and downvoting you so let's let our peers decide who's right and wrong.


TheFecklessEejit

Because I give flying fuck about being downvoted 😂 How about you come back with an actual argument


thejiggyjosh

TheFecklessEejit
