maybe if vr systems didnt cost like a 1000 dollars on their own :/

I'm almost 60 and an avid gamer. My only fear is that I'm not going live long enough to see all the cool tech that's going to happen.
MatttMSI
No, the way we play and visualize games is changing but the games themselves are the same
shbk
I'm actually wondering if having a screen this close to your eyes for an extended period is bad for your eyes in the long run.

Yeah these static games look so interesting.. not.

The day I have to move to play video games is the day I dust off my Wii and play Wii Sports Resort.

In 5 years This footage is gong to look crap. Roshan was cool tho

I'm so glad somebody else noticed him; I genuinely thought I was imagining it after playing too much Ursa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ0JTkBZdyw Here's why we need to give VR a few YEARS.

Something people have been saying for the past 30 years.

Kinda makes we wish i still had stereoscopic vision...

If you do in VR you die in real life.......

I was wondering the same... Giff VR doto Gaben

Oh how I wish I could get excited for vr
ShaLovee
If you lived by me I'd put your ass in the Vive and you would be excited for VR
love4everyone
So what if I do live by you because it shows we do
ShaLovee
You live in Salem Oregon

Damn no
reineseele
the problem is still the mobility (roll etc.)
InfinitusEquitas
For the moment the problem is resolution.
ozjuggler
The problem will be all the injuries from people tripping over the cable that they can't see.
mechanimated
There's the Omni, which solves the issue somewhat elegantly.
Thatllbuffrightout
A good VR space sim would destroy what little of a social life I have left.
mnss1997
Just make a 40k VR game and I will scream 'FOR THE EMPEROR' until my vocal cords jump out of my throat
InsaneFirebat
Try AirMech Command. It's like a tabletop RTS game with transforming mechs :)
shyriath
YES
SluttyToast
Dude, 4k is already out of reach for nearly everyone. Why would you do that to your poor GPU?
zelgadiss44
SluttyToast
40k is so interesting. Have you read the Guardsman stories?
flexpertHamilton
I think he's referring to Warhammer 40k, not 4k resolution.

Commenting for later.
iprobablydontlikeyou
Pornhub already has a VR section...i havent left my house in weeks...
DesertFlaneur
It looks cool, but in reality VR is not good right now.
GuanglaiKangyi
VR is about as good as it's going to get for a while. It will get cheaper, better optimized, and the headsets may get more comfortable 1/2
GuanglaiKangyi
But if you're expecting to wait a couple years and get some fantasy shit that plugs into your brain stem, then that's not happening.
erischilde
i say.. 30 years? yeah. if humans surivive that long and we don't get wiped by robots... 30 years *nods*
esgedi
Nobody mentions the latency problem. Unless you have a cream of the crop graphics card, you'll get a headache after a few hours.
sgv1
Build a nice $1000 pc and you'll be okay
DesertFlaneur
I'm not even talking about computing power, I'm talking about the games.
Froghourt
That is not realistic for a lot of people.
Lamech777
If someone can afford the $800 price tag for the HTC Vive, they should be able to manage the PC for it.
erischilde
It's first gen, these prices will drop, hopefully fast. but that's not true either; i can budget 7-900 dollars for a set, not necessarily /1
icookfoodandfightfire
idk what you've used but after trying the Vive and the Sony VR i gotta say they were both amazing
ktheman
The only difference in these shots from real VR is that the players are superimposed into the game they're actually playing in the scene
IamNotAshamed
VR is incredible in reality. The vive is mind-blowing. Of course if you only tried dev kits or cardboard it's meh
oneillwith2ls
Amen. Tried Vive and I have cardboard. You sir know what you're talking about.
AMonkeyInASuit
WOW! VR got 3rd person mode?! /sarcasm
QwertyMcGiblets
Just wait to you see what the porn industry does with this tech
NamelesSalutation
OMG! Porn and videogames doing a joint venture!? We could be actual James Bond!
HermanManly
porn will be the reason why VR succeeds
Hybris51129
If video games don't fund this tech enough the porn industry will.

I heard from a friend that there is a category for VR and @pornhub has the tweaking booty that syncs up with the video.

All you have to do is look at GIF #7
AirshipEngineer
VR hasn't learned the lesson of motion controls. Immersion without physical feedback doesn't work and I just give up and use a controller.
timecookie
Man Elite: Dangerous in VR must be amazing.
Sesseth
#4 in this dump is Elite: Dangerous.
GoldenPornProject
Star Citizen.
WheelOfBitchSlaps
And? Why is Man Elite dangerous in VR ? Tell us!

and holy shit have you seen the Eve Valkyrie demo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I76ylK7iEX4

That's an old demo too.

Maybe the games are changing, but war... War never changes
kuemmel
Or does it? The war has changed. Did it?
coolmcdude
All these VR games seem to be confined to a small space with no actual exploration. This concerns me.
Redefiningme
https://thevoid.com/ VR Tech + Real world "courses" So stoked for this to finish up.
N0ticeablyFAT
Dude, give it a minute.
terribletech
First gen baby. You gotta walk before you run, literally.
raptorclawhandshake
And crawl before you walk.
stou
This is at least 3rd gen, maybe even 4th (view-master, Virtua Reality, Sega / Ninento VR solutions...). all "neat" at the time, all dead.
shadowmaster004
While true, those don't come close to what this VR is accomplishing. I feel this is the first real solid attempt at it rather than a novelty
stou
Sure. It's _better_ but doesn't solve any problem or "accomplish" much. It's like the 3D TV trend from 2 years ago. VR 2nd life? no thanks.
NS0229
im sure a some remotes will come with cmall joysticks so all you have to do is move and youll run where youre looking
forrealzpeople
Remember, the VR itself can't move your or you will experience Simulator Sickness which can force you to puke or worst black due to nausea
eroso
I wouldn't be concerned about some very first beta demos. This is just the beginning
Dekacube
Pmuch, first gen VR, ALL of it, Occulus/Vive are pretty simplistic games, gonna need a few iterations to be worth more than a novelty.
MisterLemons
Elite dangerous has to the the exception here. You take your spaceship places.
Preservesaremyjam
Even with room-scale games, VR movement is really hard to do while keeping it immersive but also safe.
Preservesaremyjam
http://store.steampowered.com/app/400940/ Is one of the most creative workarounds I've seen so far.
FreedomTownUSA
...stop. It will get there.
InvadingYourSpaces
Elite: Dangerous is #4, and is using it to best effect here. Seeing as you sit in a chair for the entirety of the game.
InvadingYourSpaces
Also, the in-game menu systems react when you look at them, both in the VR and in Mouse-looking with PC.
BlueDsc
That's the only game I've seen that made me think VR would actually be perfect for it.
hairyroos
I have enough jaw dropping moments by just using the mouse to look around. Think I'd jazz my pants in vr
InterruptingA10
Any game where you stay seated would be perfect. Hell, simulators have been around for a loong time and are used by industry.
Xycron
Just go out and buy a giant empty building. Done.
gunn
I can see how that would be concerning if you had absolutely no ability to envision the future
TinyAngryDog
Seems great for any vehicle combat games! Tanks, planes, ships, Star Wars fighters! Also strategy games like the Total War Series
SankingDragon
VR works best when people are stationary or restricted to small spaces, like the bridge of a ship. Its too jarring to move but not move.
byohzzrd
And finding real world walls unexpectedly, sucks.
SankingDragon
Hahaha
byohzzrd
I had a Forte VFX1, old school vr with head tracking, 3d motion mouse. Played original Doom. Face -> wall. Pain, nausea and disorientation.
ThatBatmanFappingGIF
10/10 would get brain damage running into a wall.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
There's going to be a lot of action games where the protaganist gets confined to a wheelchair in the opening cutscene.
MikeAlvelais
Imagine if we got WoW working with this technology.
OverlyCynicalImgurian
"WHY ISN'T VR PERFECT ON THE FIRST DAY IT CAME OUT, WHY DOESN'T MY PS1 RUN AT 1080p" Shit takes time to perfect, broseph.
hunglikehodor
What I've seen most take place in a space similar to the size of your room. Devs can add door transitions or moving with controllers. (1/2)
hunglikehodor
The only thing Is it's hard to make it entirely submersive due to real word physical limitations.
ApplesdaKitty
give it a bit of time, changes to how we interface with the hardware will also change.
LizardEnterprises
There are reasons none of the previous VR revolutions actually happened. That is one of them. Still good for flight sims though.
TheAnteaterKing
The games are not actually confined, some use what is called blink to help teleport you around in the playspace ie budget cuts, the lab, etc
ApplesdaKitty
give it a bit of time, changes to how we interface with the hardware will also change.
PineapplesArePeopleToo
Just the headset and hand controls are already so expensive as to be turning away customers. Dont try add equipment now.
ApplesdaKitty
2/2 srry hit "enter" the promise of the simulators (flyin/driving ect) sound amazing to their potential they hold.
temotodochi
Also these first games are fucking boring.
Doopapotamus
I'm hoping the Virtuix will somehow combine with the Vive and make some sort of VR uber-baby-game-periphery.
Painteagle
Do you remember when the wii first came out? It was even more limited than this.
japsidious
Look like they've already opened up warehouses and I bet eventually buildings dedicated to VR. https://www.zerolatencyvr.com/
InsertOriginalUsernameHere
It's a lot harder to make the game immersive if you include whole body and leg motions. Plus, if you think about it, do you, or most (1)
InsertOriginalUsernameHere
gamers, have the stamina and agility for that? Think about the stuff you do in, say, Skyrim.
Afreeman81
I'd be a damn fun workout. :)
InsertOriginalUsernameHere
Good point. I know I'd work out more if it involved this kind of thing.
TheTechDweller
You're never going to be in an mmorpg world, not unless we get a full dive system like sao.
Afreeman81
Is that even possible? I've never studied it.
TheTechDweller
Not with our technology, it would only be possible if we could have computers able to understand and compute signals to the brain.
Seven25
Most of the gameplay i've seen is just static spinning shooters. I'd much rather a non VR game i can run around and explore.
TheTechDweller
Experiencing VR is like nothing you've experienced, it's easy to make an opinion after seeing gameplay, try it out if you can.
Seven25
I'm sure it's exciting, but I feel like novelty will wear off. For now they're really restricting the capabilites of the tech with poor gams
TheTechDweller
VR is not a novelty, it's a way of experiencing games, some games will be fun to pick up and put down but great VR games will be great games
