Why is /pol/ always right?
>>341197494
They can't. Free movement in VR makes people sick. They don't want people spending $400 and then coating their floors in vomit.
the only VR thing that looks appealing s that social Star Trek game.
That isn't worth spending $2800 on hardware to get it to work though.
>>341197265
Why would you be using VR on a beach?
>>341197690
don't worry, now that cuckerberg owns Oculus, MSM coverage of VR will become decidedly less faggy.

This VR fad is basically bizarro wii.

That's certainly the ad hominem that helps HMDfags rationalize their purchases. I've tried them, and I'm not impressed.
>>341198851
This
Also surprised Microsoft didn't show off their hololense again. Maybe they've hit a snag on development
If anything I'll probably get the PS VR. It doesnt seem to try and push shitty motion controls or standing in a square. I just want an immersive display for first person games
>>341197265
don't worry, it's another mid-gen meme fad made to sell some shit in between new consoles, it will go the way of stereoscopic 3D and motion controls in 2 years
>>341197265
Can anyone honestly say this was a good E3?
15% new games
35% Vr bullshit
50% Shit revealed last year
Sony was the only conference that has shown games people actually want to play. It was day and a half of pure shit.
>>341199560
Agreed it's been awful. If nintendo were announcing the NX they would have maybe saved those e3 but they're not so fuck.
>Implying fallout 4 in VR isn't going to be fun as dicks

>>341199926
Can't be less fun than fallout 4 on TV I guess.
>>341199926
fun as dicks if you're a fag who likes to dry heave. I have every doubt in my mind that they can optimize this shit for vr.
>>341199926
Oh boy, it's the same bland shooter but with headaches and lookin' around.

it's always like this
when was the last time there was 10 or even 5+ AAA games released in a year? You just gotta hope 2-3 hits and they showed some that have potential to be that down the line. Maybe it's just me but I don't give a fuck if most games are "bad" or "pretty gud". I just don't have time for that middle of the road shit anymore. Last Guardian, Mountanblade, Kojimeme, South Park, Resident Evil all look like they could be that great game. What more do you want from blockbuster shitfest devs?
>>341197265
(((Stein)))
>>341200396
An m man, I see
>>341200396
They already have had force-feedback wearables for years, it's just a matter of buying them. Which nobody does, because pretty much nobody wants to spend an extra $250 on a vest to feel bullet impacts.
>>341200409
I suppose. Guess I just wanted one surprise announcement the would blow my mind. Never got that this year personally. Feels like a shit Christmas.
>>341200813
Do they sell a vest to feel a deathclaw's 20ft dick up your ass?
>>341201275
Just sit on a dragon dildo senpai.
>>341198851
>This VR fad is basically bizarro wii.
Exactly.
At least there was only one Wii, VR hasn't even been adopted for mainstream audiences and there are 3 flavors with their own exclusives, Samsung is joining this same year too, so that makes 4 VR headets with incompatible games across each other.
The VR meme killed this generation.
The joke is that the new hardware would be better used on non VR meme games.
There is not even a GPU that allows games to run on two monitors at 1440p at more than 30FPS, and this comes after the kinect was a fucking failure.
Well at least Sony had the vision to make this totally optional, but lol, Neo and Scorpio, what a shit gen.
I hate being of those "hurr hurr you're just poorfag" trolls, but honestly I feel a lot of the "I hate VR" shit is just the price. Pretend the vive was 80 bucks, impossible, yeah, but pretend. At 80 bucks for what it gives you...it's fun as fuck and you know it. Fun varies by person to person, obviously.
That 3D drawing game, tiltbrush, to an artist like me is fucking fun as shit, but if someone hates drawing or is shit they won't get much fun out of it, then actual games like hoverjunkers, space pirate trainer, etc.
On top of that you can use software to VR older games like Skyrim and there's a boat ton of VR porn and waifu games for VR...
For 80 bucks you know you'd love that shit.
But it's not 80, it's 800. Ontop of needing a 1,000$+ computer. Not everyone can jump on with that.
How does this shit work? Can you play a game with a mouse/keyboard/controller and just put the headset on and immerse yourself? Or am I gonna have to move my head like a retard?
>>341200396
>Until they have haptic feedback so I can feel that deathclaw pounding my ass in VR then
You are going to have to ask for a PC peripheral, anon. Consoles don't sell porn games.
>>341201448

>>341197265
>VR would look awesome for horror games and FPS
>let's use it on walking simulators without walking
poor luddites
>it's NEW so i HATE IT!! CHANGE IS BAD!! BAD!
>>341201732
It needs games made for it and all we are seeing is tech demo kinect tier crap. There barely anything to justify $80 let alone their price now.
>>341201798
>Do I have to use my head to move in VR?!
Remember 3D tvs? Or the Kinect? This is going to happen
VR has been amazing. It lacks proper games. Job simulator was incredible and ran well on my 770. The tech works, but software needs to catch up.
Apparently the HTC Vive is better than the oculus.
I suppose if you have $1500 to blow and not feel a sting, then it's a great buy.
If you simply can't drop that amount on VR yet, I'd say wait a few years till the hardware storm settles.
I contemplated on investing then I saw that you pretty much need to build an entirely new computer specifically for VR.
You require an authentic USB 3.0 motherboard. Apparently early usb 3.0 and cheaper boards use some sort of half as usb 3.0 setup that doesn't actually reach the speeds advertised.
This also means, new cpu likely if you don't have the latest socket/MB chipsets
You really do need a 300+ plus video card.
So in all fairness, you are probably going to drop $2500 on the full setup.
>>341202129
>It needs games made for it
Fallout 4:^)
>>341202190

>>341199112
What? Hololens dev kits are already for sale. Some POO IN THE LOO on /g/ had one the other day.
>>341202589
Cool. Was just wondering why they wouldn't show it.
Sword Art Online VR fucking when???
>>341202348
Do you not also need to set up cameras/sensors all over your room?
>>341201732
What kind of argument is that? Something that is really fun for 5 hours and then gets boring or even cumbersome might be worth 80 bucks but not 800? Yeah no fucking shit.
Maybe the critics aren't poor. Maybe the critics can tell its shit and you're a rube who bought into it.
>>341202763
.hack style VR is sci-fi. will never happen.
>>341202724
I think they are currently targeting business users instead of gamers. They said it is five years out either way.
>>341199112
>Also surprised Microsoft didn't show off their hololense again. Maybe they've hit a snag on development
It's available. But it is pie-in-the-sky expensive. Worse, it doesn't work THAT well. It still works but not so effective that anyone would actually play videogames with it. It is marketed to companies for buisness and research purposes and they are the ones who can write off thousands of dollars in their expense reports.
So how else can they do long distance movement in VR if not the teleport option?
What can you honestly do?
just use a regular controller? you need both your hands for the vive controllers, in FO4 one is for your pipboy and the other your equipped gun.
Also then you get the motion sickness pussies whining.
An OMNI treadmill is a solution, but that's literally a niche gimmick ontop of an already niche gimmick. No one is going to buy 250$ fucking treadmills.
>VR actually catches on
>Multiple ones available
>All have their own exclusives
>Need to spend a shitload of cash to play all games

>>341200409
2015 felt like a better E3.
>Nintendo Championship + Treehouse + Direct + Keynote.
Too bad Nintendo fanbase decided to shit on the unrelentlessly. That one fat fucker insulting Reggie live made me realize that I am completely disconnected with Nintendo's fanbase, the suspicion had arrived when I did not shit my intestines inside out like most people did during the reveal of Federation Force, I thought the idea of Metroid ODST was neat, and I liked the keynote for what it was. I know, I might be an hypocrite for complaining about that, and the behaviour of other jaded manchildren, but they did ruin a nice spectacle, and this was out of /v/. I expect that sort of shit here, but not elsewhere, and it was also the last year for many publications I followed.
Ms, and Sony keynotes were enjoyable. EA and Ubisoft were not as bad as this year, and pulled a decent show. Bethesda last show was better. This year they shown card games and DLC.
Let me correct myself by adding, that I do not mean to imply good games were not shown, just that the spectacle of it all was gone. I watched most trailers outside the keynotes, I liked DR4, and most of Sony's Keynote. Prey and Dishonored look enjoyable, but it was really tedious to sit through all of it. Ubi keynote was just retarded, there is a point where that buffoonery is not even enjoyable.
>>341202865

>still believing the "VR will make my waifu real" meme

I will pardon anything that comes of VR as long as we get a faithful remake or sequel to Harvester using VR with the most realistic graphics possible.
>>341203016
Just to add, it is basically a headset with a PC built into it. That's why it costs $3000.
>>341202190
>>341202482
Pretty much, and it's all due to the demand of the hardware with the price tag attached.
I have USB 3.0...
Guess what? I still require a different motherboad.
I have a ATI R9 270
Guess what? I need to upgrade to the 290+
I'd say the majority of people who play pc games don't even have a $200+ video card
They usually always buy the bang for buck deal of price drops on the mid-high in between cards.
>>341198603
Ive tried both oculus and the vive.
It's just a gimmick. A very unimpressive one so far. In my personal opinion, the field of view needs to be a lot bigger in all directions for it to actually be better because right now I feel like a chink every time I put the headsets on.
>>341203296
>he plays elite dangerous all the time
sounds like a guy with great taste, I guess we should all value his opinions, thanks man preordered Vive right now
>theres people STILL butthurt about VR
kek, first it was 'no content'. Now we have AAA games being optimised for VR and you hopeless faggots are making up new sour grapes.

>>341197825
That's complete bullshit. I have a Vive and can do roomspace shit for 6 hours without any discomfort at all.
it's another dipshit showfloor meme tech like 3D and motion gaming
only worse this time because the massive kickstarter/preorder wave already put a bunch of retards into pre-emptive damage control mode
>>341202876
He means that our general lack of excitement might come form the fact that 50% of the E3 is locked behind $399 to $1,200 USD worth of new hardware.
In the case of MS and Sony it implies buying a new console and headset.
VR on PC is still terrible, and very experimental.
I used to be a fa/tg/uy, the moment I transitioned from card games to vidya was when I realized that my hobby was getting too expensive, and I could not reason spending $60 to $200 worth of TCG shit every month.
If I had that kind of money avalible for a hobby, I would not even be here.

Only thing worth looking for is hololens, but I guess since this is the games board and hololens isnt developed towards a video game market you guys dont consider it worthwhile.
Oculus and Vive are stupid fucking gimmicks that will die within 1-2 years when people actually get to try the damn things and realize it's gimmick shit.

>>341204083
I wouldn't doubt it but the price tag is way to high.
I was expecting $400 tops with use of a mid-high end video card.
Not fuckin 800+ Plus a new high end video card and motherboard/cpu.
Wtf were they thinking? It's like valve with their steam box. I saw advertisements all over for this shit in walmart, like people were rushing out to buy a fuckin linux distro.
99% of the people who walk into walmart don't know what a fuckin linux distro is, why the fuck could they think they could sell that steam os shit?
You would have better luck selling afrosheen to white people.

I believe VR is now viable, but they are targetting an audience that thought a $599 console was ridiculous.
Not to mention the hardware is not there. The moment a single GPU can do 1440p at 60HZ in TWO monitors, then it is time to move. Right now, on Pc, VR does not look like it is suitable for anyone but enthusiasts.

It is 3000 dollars, anon. That isn't the kind of money you expect any househiold to spend on gaming for their kids. And since Vive and Oculus setups, including their PCs, are still cheaper than a Hololens, it means they would almostcertainly STAY the affordable options compare to Hololens over time.

>>341207195
>That's what interested me about the hololense minecraft display last year. Seemed a lot better than this year's oculus first person display
Except the fields of view sucked and the simulation they showed you was fake. And it costs 3000 dollars right now, with that money you could buy a VRcapable PC with both Vive and Rift, and still have change left over.
>>341205405
Like I said, hololens isnt aimed at the video game market.
If you need/have use of a hololens, 3000 isnt going to be too much. It's not something you get for entertainment purposes like you seem to think it is. Professional hardware and software cost a lot of money and it isn't trying to compete with the oculus or the vive for the consumer market.

Carmack made Minecraft VR from the ground up for Microsoft, working for free. It will be a Win10 exclusive and unfortunately all the old mods would not be compatable. The Gear VR version is out but Microsoft is not ready to release the PC version yet.

I always wondered, how do VR mods work for games like that? do you just start the game, then start a seperate program and it just automatically starts up in your Vive headset?
or what?
What happens if I just boot up Diablo III and put on my headset? black image?
I don't own a vive so idk how you "Activate" VR with games.
>>341207815
Exactly.
>>341207694
>Yeah I'm not saying right now it was just an interesting concept of a new way to play an old game. Rather than having a screen strapped to your face.
You are still going to have a screen strapped to your face. Worse, you would have a whole PC strapped to your face too. What, you think Hololens doesn't have a screen?
>>341197265
it's just like the 3D gimmick meme

>>341207903
Minecraft has a mod specific for it. Most games you need to use a 3rd party driver like Vorp-X or Vireio perception and have to tweak it a lot and it works kinda shit. Really you need mods specifically designed for that game like pic related.
>>341208317
Unlike 3D tvs and kinect, though, this is actually fun.

Well I agree that obsession with FP view is silly and 3rd person works just as well or better. But that can apply for VR just as much as for AR. It is just depending on the developer.
