Rift is apparently for "video" and "experiences" rather than games according to their CEO.
In other words; it's a platform for fucking walking simulators.
I want to walk around akihabara without leaving my house. Google maps aint good enough. Fuck videogames honestly.
It's the same as a PC except the monitor is on your face you retard.
>>322992336
It's an Ad platform.
>>322992569

>>322992336
IT'S FOR FUCKING PORN DON'T YOU GET IT YET?
Damn it, these kids...
Super good for tourism
Its retarded too because its literally being bundled with 2 games, nothing else.
That combined with him saying it has a lifetime of a phone, i.e. 1-3 years, and Facebook being involved is why i'm waiting for the Vive and Sony.
>>322992786
This will KILL tourism

Ready Player One shit will never happen.
And what did you think was going to happen when goddamn Facebook bought it? Now normies are looking forward to Rift because they can use it to talk to people in VR using avatars and shit.
Did you think it would be anything else? The tech demo was walking around a house. In the end, it'll mostly be a porn machine that only people with too much money'll buy.
>>322992569
This is also my only hope for VR, and the only thing of worth I expect to see from VR in the next two decades.
Virtual tourism. So many cool places that are unfortunately filled with unhinged people. I want to see the Blue Mosque, but I'd never set foot in Turkey, I want to see a lot of the architecture in the middle East, but I ain't going there.
>>322992336
No shit OP,It's for porn and shit.
The VR has a fantastic amount of potential for educational purposes. Such as experiencing museums or cities from other countries. But, as far as video game potential were really limited to horror games and sim games.
>>322993165
Do you also think monitors are gaming platforms?
>paying $800

>>322992336
so why are we still having threads about this shit
go to /tv/
Simulators for training purposes.
>>322992862
same here anon, sort of just useless tech in it's current state. I was really excited for release. But now that the retail product is here after so many years. I don't even want it.
fuck, barely any porn being advertised to use with it. I don't even think Blu-ray was this useless at launch.
>>322993402
If said monitors were sold as gaming platforms, with inbuilt platform stores, and there was literally no reason to get one outside of it's platform offers then yes.
Now that isn't the case, which is why your analogy is reddit-tier retarded.
when will we create a cyber space that can suck your soul into void?
>>322992336
there is no good way to control your movement using keyboard and rift at same time. Every man already knew rift purpose is HD porn, dont deny it!
>>322992569
lmao kill yourself pathetic fat fuck neckbeard virgin weeaboo
>>322993565
Even chairs are sold as gaming platforms, they'll say anything to get stupid people throwing money at them, even heard about shit like "gaming" mouses?
VR is just a display, the applications are in no way tied to games
You'd have to be LITERALLY retarded to fall for the VR meme, especially after Shekelbergstein bought it out.
>>322993414
>porn is banned
Fuck OR for that horseshit. I hope another company makes a better and cheaper virtual reality system, and encourages porn.
>>322993765
gaming mice are actually different, in that they have like 30 fucking ITTY BITTY buttons lain out across the mouse instead of the typical L/R/middle button.
I don't understand how anyone has enough fine motor control to actually map those buttons and use them effectively, though. Maybe pro Starcraft players with their tiny asian hands can.
>>322994335
>bought a gamer mouse
>has a button on the side for "sniper mode" that makes the cursor/crosshair move as slow as possible
>mfw I've never ever needed it for sniping
>mfw I push it accidently when doing something else
>>322992920
Probably not KILL it.
I imagine most people who travel are still going to want more of an experience than a monitor strapped to their face
>>322992336
>I didn't/can't read
He's saying that most use of the offshoot Gear VR isn't for games, which makes sense with how Samsung is pushing that platform.
>>322994537
This won't even scratch it, people don't travel just to look at pretty landscapes
>>322994482
Your gamer mouse is shit.
>>322994335
The 30 button ones are stupid gimmicks, but I love having three thumb buttons and a "pinky" button on my otherwise normal mouse.
>thinks experiences means walking simulators
Kill yourself memer
>>322993414
>porn is banned
That's the first I've heard. Why? How would you even go about doing that?
>>322995450
It's not allowed on Facebook's official Rift Store. Which people care about for some reason.

>he said, on 4chan's videogame board
>>322992336
Why did you ever think it would be isolated to just videogames? It's a display technology, not a gaming peripheral. VR is a lot bigger than just videogames.
>>322993341
>The VR has a fantastic amount of potential for educational purposes. Such as experiencing museums or cities from other countries.
Look at this shit:
http://www.gizmag.com/vuze-3d-vr-camera/41174/
>When combined, the footage from these eight cameras can be used to generate 4K 30 fps (frames per second) VR content, and users can easily switch between 2D and 3D 360-degree spherical images and videos.
>The Vuze camera is currently on show at CES and is due to be available in August 2016 priced under $1,000.
There's going to be shitloads of VR content up on youtube once these things come out.
>Monitors and TVs confirmed not a gaming platform

>>322997357
Did you even read the article?
>‘Oculus only distributes developer content that meets their terms of service, which forbid pornographic content from being a part of the Oculus Store.’
They just won't have it on the Oculus store
Whatever. None of this shit us real VR anyway. Until you can't tell the difference, and you can touch, smell, and taste things, then it isn't even close to VR.
Full dive, plug-your-mind-in type of shit is what real VR is supposed to be. Like SAO, the Matrix, .Hack or Snow Crash. We're 100 years away from something like that.

You keep posting this in every thread and leave once somebody corrects you.
It's time to stop trying.
>>322992336
That's what Facebook told them to say. They don't actually believe it, least of all Carmack.
Who cares?
The creator of .gif confirmed that it's pronounced "jiff" but that didn't stop everyone from calling it "giff".
>>322998780
>SAO
>>322999383
pfffft. Carmack is the number 1 "we want experiences" guy on the team. Because he sees the potential. He doesn't give a fuck about politics and corporate shit, he just does what he wants, he doesn't need Oculus, Oculus need him, he can fuck off to SpaceX anytime, Elon Musk calls him every day offering free blowjobs if he'd to return.
VR\HMDs are bigger than gaming. But right now it's a limited market.
Thing's already going to be used primarily for first person games.
>>322992336
Fundamentally, it's a screen strapped to your face, so it's going to have general purpose uses. It's not strictly for gaming, sure.
at the moment, it's primarily going to be for games though (and I expect that to continue to be a primary use case for VR)
>>322992336
Had a DK1 for 6 months, used the virtual cinema to watch movies probably 20x more than playing the games for it.
>>322992754
This
>>322993414
bring back the porn
>>322993565
>there is no reason to get a VR display besides video games
This is why everyone hate gamers
>>322992336
That's all any of the VR shit was EVER going to be.
I don't even give a hell anymore. PC is just constantly shooting itself in the foot.
My console ultimately nets the better games and so dose my VR. My priority is to play games hits generation, not tinker with expensive hardware and hoping Rift offers good games while I wait for console ports.

Most of it's POV so it's technically not really like watching other people fuck
>>322996620
Fucking awful.
Rather than curate an experience that is straightforward and laid out in front of you on purpose they'll just stick you places.
I don't give a shit if I can look around. I care about what's in front of me.
