Giant Bomb Vive stream | What a Time to Be a Vive!

Hordes of low-budget devs furiously typing up clones to sell for $9.99 as we speak

Somehow someone will make a twin stick shooter that uses lighthouse
 
Yeah, The Lab and Lucky's Tale are two games that I think show the potential of VR. Everything else needs work.

Nah, Budget Cuts, Fantastic Contraption and Job Simulator are pretty good too. If anything they show more the potential of VR than Lucky's Tale. Lucky's Tale is nice, but it doesn't use the strenghts of VR all that much.
 
The only observation I'm gonna make today. I watched the entire Oculus stream, there are WAY more smiles happening in this stream so far.

Yep, this is me today...I already went in on a PSVR last week and Oculus failed to impress via impressions and streams, but what I watched this morning of the Vive...do I click???
 
I'd love to see them try out traditional games on virtual desktop. Is the whole stream going to be about room-scale experiences?
 
It's just a matter of time before the concepts and mechanics of these early games are refined and combined to make much richer experiences but you can absolutely see the potential right out of the gate. Goddamn it, fuck this wait.
 
Yeah, these first few games are definitely going to be more arcade like. Not that I mind. It makes sense that the arcade is where people will go as they first explore new technology.
