I feel like this reinforces the idea for some that VR will not be mainstream for quite a while

...it's on the cover of Time magazine.

 

[schlongdog]

Are people saying this is a good cover joking?

Please be joking

What the heck is this?

...it's on the cover of Time magazine.

Look at the cover, though...

 

[Guevara]

Time would never report on something unless they were really sure it was the next big thing you guys. I can tell you: if it's on the cover of Time, it really is going to change the world....

Oh gotta run, I'm late for Satanism midnight mass. See you all there I assume?

This is some wretched prose.

Why "kill me now" in the thread title?

You've never heard the phrase "kill myself from embarrassment" before?

 

[chadskin]

Perfection.

Why is he floating in the air, looking up at the sky on a beach

cuz it's so real, mang

 

[WinFonda]

Like, the guy is a genius. But he's really not helping the negative anti-social stereotypes surrounding virtual reality. I lost it when he conducted an interview with Geoff Keighley with the headset on the whole time. He was oblivious.

Ahahahaha wtf

 

[-Horizon-]

lol what even

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Should have just used a shot of the VR from First Kid.

I always feel bad that the first thing I think of when I see actual virtual reality games is a Sinbad movie.

Johnny Quest's is way too high tech for my mind to make the association. It was basically your mind in the game.

...it's on the cover of Time magazine.

Not in the best light for some

I honestly didn't think it could get worse than that cover, but that writing was bad. Guess it was take-your-child to work day at the Time offices.

Just tried Google cardboard for a couple of hours and a few different apps and videos. I am onboard the VR train! I know cardboard is barebones and the real experiences are much much better, but if cardboard is so good, I cant even imagine how good actual VR would be. My hype and excitement is through the roof!

 

[scorcher59]

What is this? early 90's fantasies of what VR could be in the near future? yesterday THPS5, today TIME magazine(!)

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Doing god's work.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

This is some wretched prose.



You've never heard the phrase "kill myself from embarrassment" before?

Yeah but I didn't think the cover was that embarrassing.
I mean, it looks silly and terrible but so do most modern magazine covers that I see posted on Gaf.

 

[Dynomutt]

Time magazine or not. that's not a flattering cover.

 

[Neiteio]

I love it

 

[The QBComics]

Hilarious.

 

[Krejlooc]

 

[Darksol]

If somebody told me to make the dumbest, most gimmicky looking cover I could envision -- that would be it.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

...it's on the cover of Time magazine.

Just because something's being supported by Time doesn't mean it's destined fro greatness. Remember when they chose the 3DO as their Product of the Year?

looool

@LudwigK I never thought I'd say this but I really regret learning to read.

looooooooool

 

[JMDSO]

Could they have made it any more geeky? Damn...

The WTF of this article is turning me off to getting an OR.

A nerd who speaks in "normal sentences"?

PREPOSTEROUS.

 

[Kinyou]

"Palmer, you made it onto the cover of the times!!"

"Not like this.... Not like this...."

 

[Krejlooc]

Just because something's being supported by Time doesn't mean it's destined fro greatness. Remember when they chose the 3DO as their Product of the Year?

Was the 3DO on the cover of every news stand in the country?

 

[qa_engineer]

I want to make a fake book cover out of that image and put it on every book I read going forward. Similar to these Harry Potter disguises:

I don't understand what I just read. Like, who would approve of this?

 

[Heel]

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

It's over. Virtual reality is finished.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Should have just had him floating in a fetal position with his thumb in his mouth. The birth of VR!

 

[SocksAndShoes]

God damn, that is one punchable face alright.

 

[Wreav]

No better human encapsulation of cringe than Luckey.

The part about his feet being "black" is gross.

 

[Obliterator]

The potential for photoshop here is straight up incredible

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

Cover is awesome. Y'all have no sense of irony. Or humour.

 

[The Lamonster]

This is really unfortunate for TIME, TIME's photographer, for Luckey, for Oculus, but mostly for the VR industry.

 

[quickwhips]

The guy is so passionate about it. I really love his enthusiasm. But its always cringe.

 

[Drencrom]

Are TIME's covers usually this... amateurish?

 

[Train of Midnight]

This can't be their final cover.

Who approved this?

 

[Kaako]

Ahaha that is great. However, this cover just set the VR movement back 6 years.

 

[Crayolan]

Convincing the mainstream VR is just a way to make an ass out of yourself one magazine cover at a time.

That didn't take long.

 

[spekkeh]

Ayy lmao

There's some way to go still.

If people cared about not looking stupid they would not have bought the Wii. This is a device used in your own home.
