am i the only one who is not bothered or excited by this at all ?
-
sure dark souls is pretty inaccesable BUT all the other points you made ... lead me to think that you are high on crack sir !
-the world structure is awesome
-the feeling of progression is super strong
-the controls are "satisfieng" although totally unintuitiv
-atmosphere and visual design UNMATCHED
also battlefield vs dark souls thread page count:
playing dark souls beats talking about it

-
i agree with everything you said except for lizards and mist walls
i don't remember both of those behaving any differently?
-
i am almost done (2 more bosses left i think)
game design and usability wise i think its stronger than dark souls 1
but "STYLE"-wise its a step down not a big step though
so if you want to get into the whole "dark souls thing" id say play dark souls 2 first to learn how to play it and than really fucking enjoy the spectacle that is dark souls 1.

rather than making textures individually for each characters cloth and face you should figure out some clever system so that thousands of procedural generated chars can all use the same material/shader for cheap drawcall changes ... because i am assuming these are intended for background crowds right =?!=

tried a occulus test kit at work 2 weeks ago
1) yes MUST have higher than hd (retina) resolution what I saw was a scanline pixelated vignetted depth of field mess. i was also dissappointed that i could still see a black border from my periphery.
and doing that for 2 eyes/images ... FILLRATE killer ... better optimize your shaders and transparency in your scenes

2) i don't have glasses but i read in many places that these devices are glasses compatible even if you cant push your glass between your eyes and the device those transparent spheres that occulus comes with probably can get swapped out based on your prescription.
3) i got motion sick within 5 minutes but i think a) devs will quickly learn what to do and not to do b) people will get used to it ... so shit will meet in the middle and be no problem
4) yeah we had big trouble setting up the machine on most computers luckily it worked pretty much out of the box on mine. Its borderline impossible to setup without having 2 people: one manning windows and the other one none-stop looking into the occulus shouting ... nothing, nothing, just black, WAIT now it says: "no signal" on the right eyes ... now its black again. a tiny low res display on the front that shows a preview of the two eyes would already remedy this.
5) I am with steppenwolf depending on who you ask this could totally be its appeal! I like to make RL fuck off every once in a while.
I am predicting this is gonna be a niche product. Mostly based on how much people hate wearing 3D glasses and the discomfort of that is multiplied factor 100 with vr headsets.
and the real game changer will be transmitting images directly to your visual cortex without going through your retinas/optical nerves first.

I have done 3 London trips so far in my life and thoroughly enjoyed all of them ... but I was always hanging out with some locals who knew everything so I recommend you do the same!

I would kill for the opportunity to buy the apartment that i am renting right now.

i want to buy real-estate too
but having lived in my grandpas house for half a year (dealing with all the up keep and costs bullshit... also retarded neighbors) a house is not an attractive prospect anymore for me.
