not really
virtual boy was horrible even back then
Modern VR is way better but jews are pricing it for 800€
i mean...it's just a cellphone screen
>it's totally different this time, I swear!
The reason why nintendo didnt jump into the VR train.
Probably for the best.
>>323024138
What?
Are you too poor to affort 800€?
What working person can't affort 1000€?
1500€ is a steal for such top notch hardware revolution.

totes the same thing senpai

So 95% of all movies ever made give you migraines?

goodnight i love you too

i think you severely underestimate how old vr is.
>people are going to spend more than $500 on that shit
>i'm struggling to justify paying $350 for a used ps4
>>323026802
>people are still comparing game and movie fps as if they're the same
This is age old bait
>>323026802
Movies use different techniques than games to, and you don't watch them on VR. 60 FPS is absolute minimum for VR. The Rift is 75FPS/90FPS for a very good reason
>>323026950
The 3D of games in the Genesis wasn't real 3D. They used sprites and techniques, they weren't rendering polygons and shit, you know. So VR wouldn't be the same at all, compared to moving in a fully 3D room, or for racing or a flight cockpit.
The Virtual Boy was a badly executed concept, that was not only rushed, but way too soon because the technology couldn't utilize its strength properly, which is first person 3D rendered environments.
>>323027149
>and you don't watch them on VR
3D movies?
>>323028003
Cardboard effect
Not the same thing as playing a 3D rendered environment at all.
Also the VB didn't have head tracking, which helps the immersion. Imagine if you're playing a flight simulator, and you're looking around the cockpit for enemy planes. It really is a big thing for games that have good immersion and atmosphere.
Imagine VR with STALKER, that shit would be tense as fuck.
>>323028156
>Not the same thing as playing a 3D rendered environment at all.
Actually it kinda is. A 3D rendered environment is still displayed on a 2D screen.
>Imagine VR with STALKER, that shit would be tense as fuck.
Against all odds it will work quite shit for FPS games, because having to move your head 360 degrees will be impractical.
>>323028594
It isn't. Are you stupid? Looking at a flat screen with cardboard 3D isn't the same as navigating a fully 3D rendered environment where everything you see is the game.
>because having to move your head 360 degrees will be impractical
There will be ways around this. You don't think having to turn 180 turning the player away from the controller/mouse+kb was thought out?
>>323029407
>You don't think having to turn 180 turning the player away from the controller/mouse+kb was thought out?
I don't. Kinda how like the Wiimote was "thought out". Or the Kinect was "thought out".
>>323028594
Do FPS games like TrackIR, easy. Mouse still aims the gun but head unit moves the head independently.
Not that hard.

and see possible applications of those controls

>allowing lean and blind firing the way you want

This isn't wagglan friend

Only thing that popped into my mind when I read that.
>>323030213
That looks clunky as hell
>>323030213
I'm not that dumb angry guy you're responding to, but that was awesome.
Nice video, gave me a boner
>>323030213
How would he spin 360°? Turning the body around looks lame as fuck, like looking at a console player.
>>323026950
I ACTUALLY HAD THAT THING!!!
First time we plugged it in it billowed out tons of red smoke. I never even got to try it.
