So what are the odds on someone falling on their ass tripping over the cable before the stream is done?

Yes, you people are right. Those Valve demos and SelfieTennis just looked like the best.

I dunno, the valve stuff seemed super charming and well written, and anyway isn't it free with the headset?

 

[TheSlySoul]

Seems levers could use some work...

 

[Machina]

hahahah Whhhaaat. Omg @ Jeff loading the stereo and pressing play. This is the future man.

There was a Shark Tank episode where Omni was trying to sell it's equipment that lets you run in place. Sharks did not want to fund it since it was a niche product that cost too much money. Give it some time and it could catch on.

Actually, they changed the ending for TV. Mark Cuban was actually interested and wound up investing in them.

 

[robertlebrone]

These VR games are some serious trash. It's almost impressive how awful they seem to be.

Yeah. The best ones look mediocre at best.

 

[dhonk]

Keep an eye on Job Simulator coming up.

Hes gonna be even more negative about this one I bet, dont bother. Its jett

 

[newsguy]

Guys I have the money to buy this along with a new PC. Should I? Should I wait for Oculus with the motion controls instead?

Oh god they have them in stock.

Who has what in stock?

 

[kvk1]

Man, imagine Cook, Serve, Delicious! in VR.

 

[Z3M0G]

Hes gonna be even more negative about this one I bet, dont bother. Its jett

He looks to be having a good time to me

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Cooking the shell. Dan will be proud.

Neat, glad to hear that. I think it can work great.
Also Job Simulator is hilarious.

Posted this in Vive launch thread, didn't see a GB stream thread. Sounds to me like they flipped stereo in the stream. Anyone else notice this?

They were just talking about this and I thought the positional audio was bad. Put my headphones on backwards and now it's great


[edit] Hmmm on job simulator it's back to normal

 

[T.O.P]

From the reviews so far it seems clear that Vive is the better vr solution at the moment

 

[Antiwhippy]

God, when makers start really realising their worlds like this in VR, I seriously can't wait.

 

[Falifax]

Eggs ala Dan.

 

[Future PhaZe]

i wanna cook some shit

 

[Lemonte]

Cooking egg whites like Dan. Nice!

 

[bloodydrake]

i still think some kind of vest with a horse tail flexible arm that holds the cable behind you but away from your body about 12inches would be great to keep the cable from under your feet
or like a knapsack

 

[dhonk]

Nah, didnt mean jeff haha.

 

[VeryGooster]

Man, imagine Cook, Serve, Delicious! in VR.

literally just had this thought

 

[Kysen]

Cactus juice lol.

 

[Zaph]

God, when makers start really realising their worlds like this in VR, I seriously can't wait.

I want a new Book of Unwritten Tales made like this.

 

[Mihos]

Yes, you people are right. Those Valve demos and SelfieTennis just looked like the best.

I also like apple pie, if you want to crap all over that next.

This stuff is fun and completely unique to the new tech, damn right some people are going to get excited.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Lmao at that blending.

 

[kiguel182]

Job Simulator looks amazing.

 

[AuthenticM]

"job simulator"

I can already picture Dan's Dad cracking jokes about this.

 

[oti]

This is cool.

 

[Machina]

Nintendo must be seeing this and thinking to themselves "we really jumped the gun with the Wii. We could've done so much better if we waited a few more years".

 

[valkillmore]

'Gotta make another one.'

'Oil, menu . . . mm hmm'

 

[Chuck]

whoa 40 bucks...

this looks cool, but c'mon son

 

[BlackBuzzard]

40$!?

Yeah no flipping way.

 

[MiamiWesker]

This is crazy!!!

We need a papers please version of this, it would be one of the best VR experiences ever.

 

[soundscream]

Did they say $40?

 

[taoofjord]

whoa 40 bucks...

this looks cool, but c'mon son

It's free if you buy the Vive.


But yes, most of the stuff releasing today is overpriced.

 

[super-famicom]

Love that Jeff threw everything into the blender.

 

[BiggNife]

This is cool.

It's cool but I'm not convinced this is worth $40.

e: And yeah I know it's free for Vive owners but that still sucks for Oculus and PSVR owners, since this will apparently also be on both of those

 

[DiscoShark]

40 bucks? Think I might pass on that.

 

[Mihos]

First Steam holliday sale, I am going to go nuts on these... if I can fight the urge at least

 

[Tubobutts]

Wow at $40

 

[Krejlooc]

Neat, glad to hear that. I think it can work great.

I'm one of the pathfinders who got theirs early and wrote up my opinions on it after a month of use here:

https://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1195347

I think the omni is a great option for people who want to play conventional games in VR (like using VorpX). It definitely offers a different experience than roomscale tracking. It's also compatible with the Vive. I'm going to try Windlands on my Omni because it has lots of moments where it expects you to walk endlessly in one direction (normally mapped to the vive controller).

 

[TheSlySoul]

Oh, so free with Vive but $40 separately. That is less awful.
Just don't buy a used Vive then.

 

[Antiwhippy]

40$!?

Yeah no flipping way.

Just wait for the market to settle down. Right now it's in the experimental phase, and the market will bear what the acceptable price for the acceptable experiences are.

 

[Raticus79]

whoa 40 bucks...

this looks cool, but c'mon son

Oof, good thing it's part of the launch bundle.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Job Simulator is free with the Vive.

 

[valkillmore]

'I spilled the fucking tea!'

 

[Felix Lighter]

The tracking is spot on.

 

[Mihos]

Wow at $40

It comes free with the vive.... its a pack in game

 

[hamchan]

Jeff just doing all these motions easily, picking stuff up and then placing it, is fucking amazing.

 

[Z3M0G]

It comes free with the vive.... its a pack in game

How many pack in games are there?

 

[Zaph]

I did one of their demos at PAX South, the race car demo was a pretty good workout if you want to win haha

How was the sense of speed? Did it feel accurate as you pedalled harder or coasted?
