Man, I really enjoy how the VR glasses change the way you interact with the game world. The possibilities are truly endless and the future is bright for games, don't you think /v/?
It really feels like wearing a window to the future of interactive media, a portal to a time of complete immersion, unlike anything we've ever seen before. $400, $600, $800... how can you put a price tag on innovation?
VR: Waggle 2.0. Now with screenface.
I'm glad Jeff gets posted more lately.
>>333386315
It did seem to do its job for budget cuts. The problem with VR now is the fact that almost every game is shovelware produced by people who want to be one of the first VR games out so that people are more likely to buy their otherwise trash game. I still think VR has potential, but only if developers actually try to use that potential. If not, VR is going to end up like that motion detector by microsoft for the xbox.
>>333386871
It's like you get a burnt face.
>>333386938
Just don't take them off during mid session or bad things might happen.
Years of technological advancements have led us to this. The most intelligent human minds have concocted this for our enjoyment.
>dead eyed 40 year old ecelebs
Why don't they just take ANY decent fucking FPS and port it to VR? No bullshit waggle. Sit in your fucking chair, put on your display, normal M&K and shoot some niggas in decent 3D perspective.
Jesus, if I wanted a "immersive & lifelike" wagglin' experience, I would have bought a Wii 10 years ago, and then proceeded to kill myself for wanting to waggle anything that isn't my dick.
>>333387486
Because they want to eventually come to this.
>>333387704
SOON™
All the have to do is focus on games where you're playing as someone sat down, it's not rocket science.SECOND COMING OF THE MEK GENRE!
They won't of course, because they want gimmicks to sell units.

That device doesn't possess the force necessary to jerk you off with a fleshlight.
Notice how you have yet to see a single nip actually using these devices for real?
This "VR Waifu Porn" shit is just a pipedream that will end in vaporware.
>>333390328
Will took his VR set off, it was trying to map his "body" as he put the controllers down and removed the headset.

Son...
>>333387486
Motion sickness prevents that from working well. Sitting when your character stands is odd, rotating via mouse is instapuke.
The most practical scheme for FPS is stand up and use the motion controllers as a gun. Ideally, you could even have an addon that's shaped like a rifle.
So basically you stand, aim and turn using your physical body and move around with the touchpad. The touchpad/stick locomotion is suboptimal but less shitty than teleporting.
>>333390276
He doesn't come to /v/ and really doubt he goes to /b/ anymore.
>>333390659
oh wow
How hard can it be to make something immersive that makes me escape reality.
>>333391047
I don't get motion sickness.
The point is I want to use a VR device to play video games, not to "immersive" myself in gimmicky tech demos.
>>333391047
>>333392619
Additionally, you could easily make the motion tracking work on the VR device for looking and still use the mouse for aiming and orientation. That would take time getting used to, but I have no doubt it would have a lot more lasting appeal than waving around a cheap plastic gun for some gimmicky and input lag plagued and inaccurate as fuck FPS experience.
>>333392619
>I don't get motion sickness.
Lots of people do. They want to prevent people's first experiences with VR giving them motion sickness and then discount the technology entirely
>>333392459
>first wave of VR headsets come out
>WHY ISN'T IT PERFECT
let the idiots spend their money on the beta versions of these things. wait a couple years and get the shit that actually works well
the wiimotion+ is a pretty good comparison to make. Though nintendo is fucking stupid for not including that shit to begin with
>>333393281
I might not have a couple of years left in me.
>>333393440
Not with that attitude you won't
>>333393281
Wii controller with wiimotion+ was still shit, though.
>>333390472
kek
VR is going to be fucking amazing. used to be you needed a wall at least the size of the tv you wanted to fit on it and now with vr you can fit an entire cineplex in a broom closet. all these motion controllers are gimmicky as fuck desu. I just want to play just cause/prototype/infamous type games in first person
I just hope the normies finally get into realistic cockpit simulators. They're perfect for VR
another thing I always wanted to do in VR is like an elder scrolls type game where the magic is actually cool. Like you are picking ingredients and doing rituals or hand signs and doing sick magic spells and raping bitches
the sword combat sucks because either you can waggle nonstop or else the animations don't match your body
>>333386315
Man thats a poorly implemented melee system.
Some effort and you could make the damage be relative to the swing involved instead of doing full hits on contact.
>>333394992
why the fuck would you ever want normies to get in on your niche? You filthy magic user.
>>333395323
so we get more games
I want cockpit mech games too
>>333389570

>>333395565
that's like getting a roach infestation and calming that they're tenants
normies are always plebs, they'll sand away any finer points and once you get them you cant get rid of them
The video of it on steam looked really fucking cool, why'd they play just garbage games in the demo yesterday?
>>333387234
That's probably the dumbest shit Jeff has ever said and deservedly got tons of shit for it.
>>333396347
They streamed for like 10 hours and played pretty much everything they could. Naturally, people only made webms of the shit parts. I didn't get to watch most of it, but there was a multiplayer shooting game on scrap metal boat platforms things and a stealth game called Budget Cuts that looked really fucking neat.
>>333396672
>multiplayer shooting game on scrap metal boat platforms things
Hover Junkers
pretty sure it's being developed by that guy who used to make videos with freddiew
did anyone make a webm of brad just giving up on that fun as fuck looking gun sandbox? or just a compilation of every time brad's given up on his segment would be fine too.
>>333396939
>>333396672
>multiplayer shooting game on scrap metal boat platforms things
That's one of the jankiest VR games out there. It's terrible, I can't believe some of you like it.
>>333397954
It's one of the closest things to an actual video game I can see myself playing repeatedly so far.
I'm in it for the sims. Fucking VR Mechwarrior whenMy vive is getting delivered today
>>333399449
I'm hoping a racing sim gets released for the Vive in the next couple of months. My Vive arrives late April and I already got my racing sim setup. So far Oculus got Project Cars...
>>333399449
This. The only problem is, the only game that Steam lists having Vive support for is Elite Dangerous No word on other games I play like Dirt Rally or Rise of Flight
>>333390857
I'M FEELING IT
>>333399730
>>333399785
I give it a few weeks before someone manages to get their Vive/Oculus interface working. There's already a few people working on it.
>>333399449
>>333399730
>>333399785
Do you guys really have the space necessary to accommodate the Vive?
>>333399948
They're sims. Cockpits and driver's seats don't need 5x5 meter areas
>>333386315
This is such a shitty strawman. I'm not a big fan or supporter of this tech but it's so fucking new. I'm certain the technology will become more sophisticated the longer it's in the market.
In fact, I'm so certain, that you can screencap this post, and if it hasn't gotten better in five years, someone post it, and I will paypal them five U.S. dollars.
>>333399948
No. But like I just said, I'm in it for the sims.
The Oculus "exclusives" probably aren't gonna last long. I doubt Oculus has enough Facebook cash to throw around for that. It's all timed exclusive bullshit. CCP finally announced that Valkyrie is coming to Vive later this year. Since the damn things are so similar I'm betting it's contractual obligations rather than actual implementation time.
>>333400203
Nobody needs to screencap it, everyone already knows. Even the people playing the game in that webm had plenty of complaints about it. The stealth-ish game they played after it much better, and used the mechanics and shit pretty well.
The hovercraft one was kinda neat but even then it's pretty much laser tag inside a video game
>>333399948
Most people can make the space. The question is whether or not it is worth is. Personally, the wiring is a bigger problem for me. I don't have outlets in convenient locations.
>>333386315
oh is that goggles for the wii lol
>>333400203
The technology will only get better if they invest more money into it, and what retard wants to spend more than five hundred dollars for this wagglan?
>>333400486
>>333400203
OP is just cherrypicking the worst of the shovelware shit.
Water is wet and bad games are bad games on any platform.
Where are all the closeup pics with text underneath, and gifs, and general WebMs of blonde guy's face of despair?
>>333400607
The base stations run next to nothing. I think the Node guys experimented running them on one of those portable USB battery packs and got over 10 hours with it.
>>333386315

LOL @ all the poor fag children who lives with their mommy at /v/ who can't afford something like the Vive and resorts to handpicking the absolute worst Early Access indie trash shovel ware to show the worst side of VR. Fuck you.
>>333396586
Why? It was clearly a joke. It's not half-bad.

Because that's what it is. They're literally seeing another reality that you don't.
Except they're not crazy, they're just playing vidya.

Actually, someone who lives with their parents would have an easier time saving up for this shit than someone who has to pay bills.
>>333386315
im going to buy catheters and a shit ton of tubes that connect to my toilet along side my new VR head set. There is literally no reason to ever have to leave VR again. I can work from home in VR. I can shit in VR. I can order my groceries and have it delivered through VR. I can pay my bills or taskrabbit people to physically do it for me in VR. I will never ever have to take off my head sets. If I ever want to go anywhere I can just virtually visit it or create it.
The future is here
>>333404871

Fucking HTC just sent me the tracking information; AFTER fedex attempted to deliver and failed because I wasn't home.
So I called them asked if it was okay to come pick it up from the depot today and I was told I could. Luckily only 10 minutes later when I'm driving over I get a call (which I answer over speaker phone connected via bluetooth) saying that apparently I'm not authorized to request a hold on the package and I'd need to call HTC and have them request the hold. So I called HTC and asked them to do that and they told me they're not authorized to do that and only the fucking recipient (me) can request a hold through fedex.
Fedex is going to deliver tomorrow since apparently they're fucking allowed to do that but they need me to be home between 11am - 5pm on a fucking weekday in order to accept the delivery. I'm apparently not authorized to let them leave it with security.
What the fuck HTC?
>>333411034
HTC selected a bunch of dumb options for the shipping.
As for super delayed tracking number: sign up for fedex delivery manager. They automatically alert you and send tracking info anytime someone sends you a package by FedEx. Won't help now but might come in handy in future.

He's a cuck because he's a Canadian but he's not a cuck for not signing up for a service not offered in Canada.
I feel like the deciding factor for VR is whether or not the porn industry backs it. Online credit card payments, VHS, Bluray and 4k, were all brought to the mainstream by the power of dick.

Full body 1-1 force feedback is critical for a completely immersive experience. You need to be able to lean on virtual surfaces, feel the weight, shape and texture of virtual objects.

Pretty sure they already did with 360 cameras and shit.
Unfortunately most of the games out right now are just cash grab garbage to scam early adopters out of their money.
Some games like Budget Cuts look like they have potential. I like the idea of having an area to walk around in with the Vive, but movement is still pretty much going to restricted to the teleporting shit you see in most games.
I'm still going to wait a year before I consider it. Well I need to save up for one anyways. Even if it turns out to be shit in year I guess I can spend the money on something else.
>>333411996
Plenty of sites are already doing VR porn. The quality is still a bit mediocre, but it's getting better. You don't even need fancy headsets since you can watch it already with google cardboard.
