Space Pirate Trainers has sold 16k copies.
Hover Junkers has sold 3k.
This shit is deader than dead, nobody will develop VR games with these kinds of sales figure... Did they just sell no Vives? Or maybe they have only delivered a tiny number of them?
Most people don't even have their Vive yet. 13k for about a few thousand who have it is bretty gud. Fuggen shits trying to force a tortanic all the time.
Basically no one has their HMD yet though.
But yes, it'll not really take off until a year or so has gone by.
>>333604982
>the lab has around 60 reviews right now
I don't know but that's low for sure.
And only 40 people are playing Job Simulator right now. 35 people are playing The Lab. And many people who downloaded the lab are only downloading it for the -novr portal trick
>>333604982
What's for sure is that Valve is doing its best to force this gimmick to everyone.
>>333605245
The headset wont arrive for another month. Chill.
>>333605232
Yeah. Just like 3DTVs
You need to pay $800 USD for the Vive. Your PC needs to be able to actually handle VR output. And you need to clear out an entire room to use it properly.
Just so you can play some shitty Early Access Wii games.
Honestly, I'd be pissed if it didn't bomb.
>>333604982
Can i play Eve Valkyrie without one of those goggles?
so, let me get this straight; nobody liked wagglan, nobody liked kinect, and everybody wants to play videogames using thier xbox controller or a keyboard+mouse, so the corporations peddling their $800 consumer-grade VR gear decided to release it while the only software available is a hideous crossbreed betwixt wagglan and kinect?
That doesn't seem like a very good idea.
>>333605827
False analogy.
>>333605827
I still use the 3D option on my TV. Was it worth buying at launch? No. But seeing as the Vive is more: A headset with tracking for desktop gaming, silly sticks for movement games, a device to watch movies and shows on, porn, waifu sims, there are already headsets used in hospitals. Whereas a 3D TV is just a.. TV with 3D. See the difference ?
I'm just waiting 2-4 years until it becomes cheaper and that treadmill you can run around on becomes available (might already be, I dunno). And when more games come out for it.
Hopefully Bannerlord comes out with a VR patch holy shit, that would be fucking amazing.I'm also gonna play a bunch of h-games with VR.
That might be the worst post I've ever seen. What the fuck is wrong with you? I'm not even going to give that a (You). You know who you are.
>>333605992
>kinect
>with screen on your face with 3D
>and 2 playstation move controllers.
once you start combining everything, you somewhat start to understand how people can get excited.
doesn't really appeal to me at all though.
>>333604982
>>333606250
it hurts
>>333606082
I can't imagine 3D H-games being good. The 2D ones are overwhelmingly shit, and they're extremely easy to make compared to a 3D VR game.
>>333606250
It can't be real.
>>333606250
B-But not everybody got theirs yet!
>>333604982
Why do people think VR games are VR only? Alien Isolation sold well and it had VR support you could unlock.
Retards acting like this is tortanic 2.0 because a bunch of indie shit failed.
>Technology is cool but still limited
>Expensive as shit
>Most games are barely games
>People are already releasing exclusives/timed exclusives and shit and fitting everything into the industry standard for no reason
Maybe in a few years.
>>333606130
>once you start combining everything, you somewhat start to understand how people can get excited.
but kinect while wearing a pair of giant goggles and having to use two playstation move controllers sounds awful
>>333606250
Do these games cost money? Can I try them without owning the hardware?
>>333606582
that's the funny part, a lot of these "games" cost like $40
>>333606653
Then why would people play them at all? If I had a VR headset I wouldn't be playing Job Simulator, I'll tell you that.
>>333606484
>stutter speak
Underageb& get out
>>333606554
i dunno man, sounds great to me.
sounds like a way to completly be IN THE GAME.
sadly current VR doesn't do full body tracking.
vives only started being despatched around the 5th of april, 99% of the people who preordered are still waiting to get theirs
oculus and valve are staying tight-lipped about their sales numbers right now

holy fuckin shit, stop dragging anything to TORtanic level. It will not die when it has porn potential
>>333606582
The Lab is free but why would you want to play them without VR?
>>333604982
It won't take off until next gen consoles come out
Next gen consoles will probably have a 980ti equivalent and sell for $100 dollars more than this gen
That's the only way they'd be able to play games at 60fps without making people vomit
Probably will have a bunch of VR triple A launch titles
>>333606736
Whats confusing is there are plenty of AAA games that work with VR if you use third party software but people still choose to play glorified tech demos.
>>333606829
To see what they are like. I have sworn an oath to not buy first generation consumer VR, and no matter how much I am baited I will keep it.
Still, I imagine I'll get one eventually, and I'd like to see what people are doing for it now.
>>333606820
3D had porn potential, and that never caught on as far as i know. granted it's not "dead" either but 3D isnt really a big selling point on TVs anymore.
>>333605867
>Honestly, I'd be pissed if it didn't bomb.
I wouldn't. Let the people with the money to waste it on unfinished tech have fun with it to allow the companies to make a few more generations and bring it to a point where it is actually worth it.
>>333606582
Vive comes with Tilt Brush, Job Simulator, and Fantastic Contraption.
But, yeah, obviously pirate the games first to see what you like.

Kek.

>>333604982
what do you expect when shipping has been a fucking disaster and gamewise it's anotther disaster with shitty indie games that cost $30 because are made for VR
>>333609298
Wow thirty whole dollars?
>>333606001
they're exactly the same.
>>333605827
>>333609137
Not an argument
>bitching about the Vive
The Oculus watches you masturbate and they make no apologies about it:
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/04/oculus-brings-real-and-pervasive-data-mining-to-virtual-reality/
Anybody who said facebook wasn't going to do this is completely BTFO.
>>333609603
It is an argument. Just because I could be doing something "for free", doesnt mean I will.
It isnt free, its a waste of time, that could be spent doing other things.
As in, I could take a walk through the park, its free, but I'd rather post on 4chan instead.
And I own hundreds of games, but there are some that I dont play, despite there being no cost associated with me playing them.
Guys hear me out.
I don't get the whole motion control thing, why not just buy an oculus or whatever and use a controller for games that are just kick ass first person games. Not these shitty Wii tier games.
Elite Dangerous
Modded Skyrim
Any good FPS
Any good walking sim like the forest or any of those survival type games.
Why do we need this motion gimmick.
Has anybody played any normal real games with something like an occulus.
Shit like Metro last light or any racing game, why do people shit on VR when you can play these kind of big budget awesome games with head tracking and immersion.
Why is that such a bad thing.
Motion controls look like it still sucks ass but my other points I still ask, I don't own this shit so maybe I'm missing something?
Please enlighten me.
>>333607882
Keep waiting negro. Doubt we are getting cards powerful enough to play it with AA any time soon.
>>333609783

>>333609372
Nope
>>333609882
Being able to interact with 3D pointers is more fun than just being able to look at things
>>333609882
so check this out.
in vive VR you are actually grabbing something in a virtual space, it will look to you as if you are grabbing something off the floor.
while with the wii at best it looked like you were grabbing for nothing in thin air.
you are INSIDE the game basically.
it's still gimmicky, sure. but it also offers a shitton of new possibilitys that weren't there before.
to you it won't look like you are waggling the wii remote while looking at a TV screen.
to you it will look like you are actually swinging the sword with your own hands (granted it's still missing the weight and the feedback) but it will be quite realistic.
>>333606653
I'm not defending them at all, but, if you can afford a VR capable PC plus a VR headset, I think the 40 bucks price tag for games is hardly a problem.
>>333610067
>>333606871
>That's the only way they'd be able to play games at 60fps without making people vomit
They actually need to hit 90 FPS for VR, and that's stable 90, not with huge drops like consoles have now.
>>333610225
>Fallacy of relative privation
Okay.
>minimum $1500 PC, something every normie loves
>$500-800 VR hardware
>lots of room in your home/cuckshed to flail around like a retard (more than usual) if you're using the Vive
That's all you need for some overpriced minigame collections? Damn, this is going to take off better than the Wii!
>>333606749
>sounds like a way to completly be IN THE GAME.
This is what people said about the wii, kinect and everything else
before long it's minigames and shovelware because control schemes only function as abstractions - there's no way I can keep up with the superhuman movements of almost any videogame character and i'm not even a fat schlub like 70% of americans.
>>333606749
You're talking about combining the worst controllers ever conceived. Nothing good will ever come out from that.
>>333610000
I don't get this meme
>>333610078
Yep.
You can cry and stomp your little feet all you want. But it wont change the fact that 3D tv and vr headsets are literally the same shit.
>>333610297
Welp you just proved that you're a retarded meme poster.
>>333610447
let's take a simple bow and arrow game for example.
with the wii you try to replicate the bow and arrow movements in front of your TV screen and then try to hit a target that is also somewhere on that TV screen.
with the vive. the bow will be where your hand would be if you would be holding a bow in real life.
and the target might be behind you so you turn around look at the target (not at the screen with the target) and aim your shot at that target (again you don't aim at a screen but at an object within the 3D game world)
comparing VR to Kinect/Wii is underselling VR by a lot.
>>333609882
Any game where the character walks around (except for those where you are constricted to a tiny area that is tracked by the system) is basically forbidden territory, it creates huge amounts of nausea.
This is why VR FPS games are always shooting galleries. People would just vomit if they played a traditional FPS. Not to mention that in FPS games, Skyrim, etc. targeting and vision are not separated. So you'd have to look at the point where you want to shoot. Shit's retarded.
>>333610576
I'm only here to shitpost, you should have seen that from the beginning, but you just kept going
>you haven't even tried it, I BET you haven't tried it, you can't possible know this is shit

>>333610546

>just weight
Post invalidated, utter retard detected.
>>333604982
I'm waiting for a future version.
It seems to me that the Vive controllers desperately needs vibration to add an extra level of feedback so I'm waiting to see if either the next version or some kind of compatible third party device releases with it.
>>333610957
This. VR is a shit gimmick that is completely overhyped. A screen strapped to your face isn't even virtual reality anyway and is on the same level as the Virtual Boy.
These VR headsets will be remembered the same way we remember the Panasonic 3DO and Philips CD-i: shitty, overpriced machines that don't even have anything on them worth playing.
>>333611340
Except they're literally the same.
VR is a 3Dtv taped to your face with some cheapo motiontracking.
I did a thing.
>>333610957
Imagine a 3d TV that was so large that it encompassed your entire field of view. Every direction you looked in was a 3d tv.
>>333611570
so its just a 3D tv taped to your face with cheap motion tracking.
Wew lad, I'm sure this fad wont die a swift death.
>>333611525
>VR is a 3Dtv taped to your face with some cheapo motiontracking.
>taped to your face with some cheapo motiontracking.
but that's what makes it very immersive and interesting for videogames, compared to just 3D TVs
3D TVs didn't add anything new to videogames.
the VR headsets headtracking adds a new way of controlling a camera in a videogame.
"new" being relative here because it is somewhat close to what a TrackIR does, just more immersive with full 360° support
>>333611564
>drill holes into your walls
what?
Is there a hidden track about fucking you're waifu?
>>333611784
>the VR headsets headtracking adds a new way of controlling a camera in a videogame.
dude lmao
kinect can do that
>>333611890
you can't turn around in kinect and still face the screen while doing a 180 ingame.
>>333611784
So its just a 3D tv taped to your face, which is a gimmick, and you have to use motiontracking, another pointless gimmick, to control the camera, when I could do that much more efficiently, and without the strain on my neck, with a mouse.
W E W L A D
Fad confirmed.
>3D tv didnt add anything
>but THIS smaller 3D tv will.
>>333611792
>drill holes into your walls
>what?
You need to mount the sensors.
>>333606743

But what you said is way better,

You think he's gonna save us?
>>333609882
Non-wiishit games I play that I feel like VR would add to without detracting from anything:
Elite Dangerous
Dirt Rally
Mechwarrior Online
War Thunder
Euro Cuck Simulator 2
Asetto Corsa
Space Engineers
DCS A10C
Star Conflict
Custom Maid 3d
Trackmania
People act like those shitty, shitty games like Vanishing Realms are all this thing is good for
I've said it multiple times, VR is just a gimmick just like motion control (wiimote, Kinect, PS Move, etc)
Give it 10 years or so and VR will be in the same place as any other passing fad, dead or dying
>>333612354
is this dumb nigger seriously pretending I cant control a camera better;faster and with less strain, with a mouse?
>>333612413
Wait CMD has VR support?
>>333612153
>>333612118
You can mount things to your walls without putting holes in them
>>333612473
yes, your mouse only does X and Y axis.
your head does pitch, roll, yaw, moving forward, moving backwards, going up, going down.
i would like to see you do that with a mouse, must be a real fancy mouse you have there.

Unless you're buying a video card that costs over $1000, then that claim is false.
