It is bad communication at their end, as they knew that the ballpark price range was going to be around this point for quite a while, I will say that. But considering all the stuff bundled and the fact that it is indeed being sold at max revenue of "at cost" it is not that bad. You spend upwards of 1000USD/EUR for your tv alone (or similar price of a rift for a high refresh rate monitor) and the Rift is so much more and can potentially do so much more. But yeah it will sadly be for enthusiasts for the very near future. it seems Oculus is banking a lot on good reviews and word of mouth to get their sales up, as the preorders do not lock you in to buying a unit.

I would be very surprised if PSVR will be hacked to work with PC AND give out anywhere near decent experience let alone a good one. I have a pair of PS Move controllers on my desk and still have not been successful at pairing them with my PC even though they have been around for ages. But yeah chances are your buy in price will be ~500USD/EUR cheaper when investing in PS ecosystem from zero.

No I am not thrilled, but I am not devastated either at this point. I am a dev though and for me it is a good sign that they have already sold out the March and April preorders, though some of them might be fraudulent trying to buy them in bulk and resell them.

Not a huge SW nerd here (I do generally like Abrams work though) but I do appreciate the movies. This was my first IMax movie and I really liked it, both that is. I did notice a lot of an service, maybe not as much tension as I would have liked and yeah the plot was not very tight but it did not bother me that much. I was pretty hyped and got spoiled beforehand, but I guess I still did not have very high expectations. Actually I also liked the new leads quite a bit.

the introduction of Kylo Ren with him stopping a blaster shot mid air was the point at which I was in, so I was kinda surprised the route the plot took later on.

Will likely go see it a second time, which is pretty rare for me, though lets see if I take a more critical look at it after that. And I am definitely looking forward to ep VIII after that.

But maybe I am a hipster-hipster as it seems to be cool to hate mainstream things and I just want to be ahead of the curve. But I already know I do not have the perfect taste in movies, for liking Prometheus for example.

^Sweet!

This might have circulated through here and I do know actual maps of these exist, but it was a interesting for a casual like me so I thought I'd share it.

R8volver anyone?

Getting my first IMax experience with the movie, but I might be going as late as the 27th D: Will awoid all (social) media from the prerelease day forward.

So what exactly must I do to get an invite around here? :v

Looks pretty freaking fun with buddies

This is a VERY relevant talk from the developer, might be considered spoilers even? Might not. I experienced the game beforehand, if someone does it the other way around would be interested to hear their perspective.

Watched it last night. The sci-fi part of it was excellent (with the caveat of extraordinary luck but I don't really mind it as long as the plot goes forward)! The acting, plot and emotional impact, didn't hit me as much as I would have liked, but maybe it was just me. If you like sci-fi and for example Apollo 13 this should be right up your ally!

Been working on a vr demo for a while and presented it last Saturday at a local gaming event. Will do some more work on it based on the feedback and hopefully that post it online as well.

not sure if this thread is for asking questions but any Zbrush users know how to approach high-to-low-poly when there's a bunch of holes that you have to convert into an opacity map? (colors are the desired low poly)

Baking pieces separately, but that would be my general advice not in any way specific to Zbrush..

I planned to watch it tonight, but I wanted to ask anyway: does it live up to expectations? (I mean, it was rated 9 stars on imdb, while it wasn't even out yet for instance...)

I first heard about the show from a fb wall post, so I had little to no expectations, but yeah imdb ratings persuaded me to give it a go and I was not disappointed (in the first episode) as in: it was worth my time. But I would off on further evaluation until a later date.
