Oculus Rift

Haven't seen it yet, but since The Man has moved over this company I think it will fit

 

You've got such an hard-on for Carmack which is totally understandable!

lol

Tried the oculus yesterday for the first time, I have to say it was a bit of a downer, the resolution is clearly inferior to any display.

All the other considerations about functionality depend on the game, which in my case was not a game to port over (an fps platformer) – I started feeling sick after 5 minutes.

I would love to make games where you have to throw up

Really recommend this demo if you got an Oculus, it runs well and looks amazine!

Cool, but man they have the (obvious) problem of making VR seem really hot and really selling it when you're watching something like this in 2D. I know the something like the EVE Valkyrie demo is probably absolutely incredible in VR, but it just falls a bit flat in a presentation like this.

Anyway, I'm ready for dis shit. Probably gonna end up being an "early" adopter and get 1st gen one, just to fuck around with it in UE

[Pampers]

did they say anything about the specs?

​Yea this is going to completely rely on word-of-mouth and trying it out yourself in a store or at your friend's place. In the case you mentioned, personally, I have a bigger problem getting excited about VR in games that are not first-person.

​Exactly. Two of the three titles they showed off were third person, unless there's some clever twist on it them I'd say that's not exactly the best way to sell and communicate the best sides of VR early on, but maybe it's an antiquated point of view that VR has to be in first person, I donno.

About the third person thing, the couch knight demo from Epic still has some weird charm that few others (fps type games) have managed to replicate for me and that definitely has something to do with the perspective.

I wonder how you will not get motion sickness from 3rd person VR, very interesting.

 

Was Palmer on something during the presentation?
