Not sure if real or just another Project Milo

 

[Zero-Crescent]

I could see that "play on your wall" thing being pretty useful.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I would love to play a Rollercoaster Tycoon game with that lense.

 

[Megasoum]

It's cool on a demo but they don't tell you that you have like 15 degrees of FOV in those glases.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Looks cool but I'm not sure why I would play anything with that.

 

[Archaix]

Not communicated: Guy with hololens is seeing it through a postal stamp sized window.

Yep. But look at all of the people in here who are falling for it. The average consumer is going to buy into the lie completely.

 

[firen]

That is pretty fantastic. I don't care for Minecraft but excited to see more cool stuff like this.

 

[Electret]

Not sure if real or just another Project Milo

Real but misleading (FOV).

 

[ratcliffja]

This is all very doable with AR. The problem with AR without wearables is that you have to constantly look through the window of your phone or tablet's camera. With stuff like the HoloLens or Google Glass, you just have to look at the AR target. I think the biggest hurdle will be lighting.

 

[Twin Tails]

Looks cool, but I would never play a game like that.

 

[piratethingy]

Not communicated: Guy with hololens is seeing it through a postal stamp sized window.

Like... you can only see out of the glasses that much or it only projects its VR mumbo jumbo in that small area?

 

[xxracerxx]

Closing with GoW..nice.

Also I thought MS was only going to go for an hour and a half, but this is hitting 2 hours.

 

[Zaph]

The quote I remember reading was "looking at an iPad at arm's length".

Yeah.

 

[wenis]

Looks cool but I'm not sure why I would play anything with that.

Basically.

 

[FiggyCal]

I guess I don't understand how hololens is different from VR?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yep. But look at all of the people in here who are falling for it. The average consumer is going to buy into the lie completely.

You think people will buy this without testing it out themselves?

 

[SlowRevolution]

Flower 2!

 

[Fox318]

looks cool

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yep. But look at all of the people in here who are falling for it. The average consumer is going to buy into the lie completely.

It's so much easier to lie about hololens than it is VR stuff.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I would like to play an RTS that emphasize building and gathering with the hololens.
Like Black & White III for hololens

 

[LurkerPrime]

Not gonna lie, HoloLens as presented looks pretty cool. Definite potential for something like that in regards to games. Could be a next generation of strategy, simulation (god games) or even D&D DM-style RPGs.

I'm not holding my breath that it'll work as advertised, though. Wait & see.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Like... you can only see out of the glasses that much or it only projects its VR mumbo jumbo in that small area?

Full field of view with the glasses, but the holo stuff is only a tiny window in the middle.

 

[m_shortpants]

I guess I don't understand how hololens is different from VR?

It's AR, meaning it projects onto the real world rather than being completely closed off.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Full field of view with the glasses, but the holo stuff is only a tiny window in the middle.

That's misleading as fuck.

 

[wenis]

This is Nathan Fillion right?

 

[Proxy]

Screen tear out the ass.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

That sprint speed is really slow.

 

[m_shortpants]

It's not gears of war until I see some Walk n Talk

 

[riskVSreward]

Full field of view with the glasses, but the holo stuff is only a tiny window in the middle.

That sounds intensely underwhelming...

 

[Myggen]

That sprint speed is really slow.

Seems like GoW speed to me.

 

[hamchan]

Is it Nathan Fillion?

 

[Archaix]

You think people will buy this without testing it out themselves?

Of course they will. Most purchases are made by uninformed people, and the people who see "demonstrations" like these stage lies will think they're informed.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Metal Gear Solid V trailer in five minutes!

 

[xxracerxx]

Is it Nathan Fillion?

I can't tell. I don't think so.

 

[Twin Tails]

GOW looks amazing.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That's misleading as fuck.

That sounds intensely underwhelming...

Right? I'm more skeptical of hololens than I am of Morpheus because of this limitation. That demo showed how easy it is to mislead consumers in a way VR can't.

 

[piratethingy]

Full field of view with the glasses, but the holo stuff is only a tiny window in the middle.

So basically not at all like what they just implied by showing that giant thing right next to him on the table.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Seems like GoW speed to me.

Yeah, I'm just saying slow in general, I never liked how slow you move in Gears.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Rate those frames

 

[xxracerxx]

So far, their on stage demos have been boring as shit.

 

[Zaph]

That's misleading as fuck.

Yup, and the FOV plus occlusion means you can't actually get 'close' to things. This sounds like a technology that's way off (with great potential) but being marketed as something ready now.

 

[RE_Player]

Man the games might be good when they launch but all these demos are super boring.

 

[Xeteh]

Girl sounds like Laura Bailey and it sounded like she was in the Halo demo too.

 

[stump sock]

I like that they're arguing which one of three voice actors this guy is

 

[Santiako]

I really hope the girl's name is Turk.

 

[wenis]

This demo is super dark right? I can't see shit in this thing.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

This demo is super dark right? I can't see shit in this thing.

Yeah. Them crushed blacks, what the hell

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

How many demos this year will end with the player character getting fucked up?

 

[stump sock]

This demo is super dark right? I can't see shit in this thing.

yeah it is. it's almost too bad because it looks like a kind of good looking (visually) game

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Gears 4. lol
