Just announced at the Oculus conference.

 

[arab]

did she crash? is that why everyone laughed?

 

[FZW]

Yes Lordt!

 

[DNAbro]

Don't get excited lol

 

[AlStrong]

What if 60fps Halo 5 is about streaming to oculus rift?

/flees

 

[robotrock]

did she crash? is that why everyone laughed?

hahaha

 

[dragn]

why would you turn your head away like she did lol

 

[Nickle]

It's like you're sitting at home and playing a game!

 

[coldcrush]

not sure what to make of this... was weird that they only showed xbone games being played in a virtual cinema rather than in full vr

 

[Hoo-doo]

So stream non-VR games into a VR living room. While actually in your living room.

Yeah. I bet people can't wait. What a silly concept.

not sure what to make of this... was weird that they only showed xbone games being played in a virtual cinema rather than in full vr

It's just streaming a video feed, The xbox isn't receiving motion inputs.

 

[DeadlyBunny]

Confused... Is it xbone -> PC -> rift or just xbone -> rift

 

[NotLiquid]

Don't get excited lol

I made an audible "eeeeeehhhhhhhhh" when this happened

Disappointing

 

[Qassim]

It's a small thing but it might be cool, can't really be negative about it.

 

[GHG]

Don't get excited lol

What am I looking at here?

 

[Sakura]

I don't get it. It simulates the experience of sitting at home playing an Xbox One game on the TV? Or they are Xbox One games in VR? If it is the former I don't understand the appeal.

 

[Kalor]

I'm curious to see if there is proper support for other games or if this is the only way to play Xbox One games with Oculus.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Better than nothing at all. Means people with an Xbox only have a small reason to pick one up now.

 

[Killthee]

So stream non-VR games into a VR living room. While actually in your living room.

Yeah. I bet people can't wait. What a silly concept.

Yeah I really don't get the point of this. If you have the cash for a PC+Oculus+XBO why wouldn't you also have the cash for a TV large enough to make this virtual room absolutely pointless.

What am I looking at here?

The virtual theater you play Xbox One games in on the Rift. This isn't like playing native Rift or Morpheus games. It's like watching a screen in a virtual living room.

 

[Sai-kun]

What am I looking at here?

Playing Xbox One games on a wall of a virtual reality room

 

[robotrock]

oh jesus christ

i just realized that the room was a virtual one. thought it was just a shot of her tv with the motion of moving her head

 

[chadskin]

Don't get excited lol

This is hilarious lol

 

[EBE]

I don't get it. It simulates the experience of sitting at home playing an Xbox One game on the TV? Or they are Xbox One games in VR? If it is the former I don't understand the appeal.

maybe you live in a shitty-ass rinky-dink home and wanna experience a nice one.

 

[Stumpokapow]

What am I looking at here?

instead of playing forza on her xbox one on her tv in her room, the woman streams the xbox one game to her pc and puts on the oculus rift so she can watch her avatar sit in a room playing xbox one on the virtual screen in the room

which is something no one would ever want to do

 

[Tenebrous]

What am I looking at here?

Streaming from Xbox One to Oculus Rift. The woman, sitting in her living room, can now sit in a virtual sitting room with a virtual TV!

 

[Savinowned]

I'm so confused.

 

[DNAbro]

What am I looking at here?

A virtual room, where you stream games. Instead of you know, sitting in a room playing a game.

 

[razgriz417]

Jeff sums up my reactions quite well...

So I can sit in a fake room and play streamed Xbox One games on a fake wall?

…?

Is that… what?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

so you have to play in a virtual living room? thats rather lame

 

[Cat Party]

This isn't very exciting, but it is could be a precursor to actual oculus support for XB1. That would actually be worth getting excited for.

 

[chubigans]

Finally, a reality where all Xbox One games are 1080p.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I want to play Xbox One games on a TV sitting in the open on the surface of the moon. Make it happen, Oculus.

Wow...

And there was me thinking this could be something big when I clicked on the thread.

Never mind then.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

uh...

kekeke

1080vrp.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Don't get excited lol

This is perfect for me, since my real living room walls aren't green and beige.

Finally, a reality where all Xbox One games are 1080p.

Daaaaaaaaaamn.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Finally, a [virtual] reality where all Xbox One games are 1080p.

fixed

Lol. That's...interesting. Can you at least skip the virtual room and have the game running in full?

 

[nobodyshero]

Wait, so streaming doesn't make it VR in anyway, it just simulates a TV?


...what?

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Do you people not understand? This is the Inception game we have all been waiting for. IMAGINE BIGGER

 

[Sakura]

maybe you live in a shitty-ass rinky-dink home and wanna experience a nice one.

Finally I can know how it feels to play video games in a nice room.
I hope I can spend real money to upgrade my virtual room.

 

[Bgamer90]

Not really interested in VR. Could understand this feature being used by people who travel or people who live in (very) small places though.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Terribly disappointing so far :/

 

[Addnan]

So I can pretend I am not sitting in my shitty bedroom?

 

[OnPoint]

Finally, a reality where all Xbox One games are 1080p.

Oh damn

 

[flkraven]

Who is this for? People that can't afford a TV + TV stand for their Xbox One but somehow have high-end PC + Occulus money?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wait, so streaming doesn't make it VR in anyway, it just simulates a TV?


...what?

I have no idea what they were even thinking with this concept. Who would want to play this if they own an actual Xbox one.

 

[kittens]

Why would anyone use this feature? I don't get it.

 

[Kayant]

instead of playing forza on her xbox one on her tv in her room, the woman streams the xbox one game to her pc and puts on the oculus rift so she can watch her avatar sit in a room playing xbox one on the virtual screen in the room

Looool what is the point of this??

 

[Corpekata]

Couldn't this possibly simulate playing the games on a much bigger screen to you personally? LIke if you have a dinky TV, I can kind see it?


Then again if you have a Rift, and a powerful PC, and and an Xbox one, you probably have a good TV.
