Will they offer a way to get the headset alone?
Sure, and seemed to be enjoying himself. However, at the end when Drew asked whether he'd be returning to it, he responded, "Eh, I don't know. Maybe?"

It's a shame no one found uses for the PS Move that really resonated with people. The controller tracking was nearly as impressive as this (minus the whole "can't turn around" thing). My mind was blown in the Start the Party demo when I dropped the controller to let it dangle from my wrist and the tennis racquet mapped to the ball continued to track perfectly as it twirled around.

Pretty much the same but with more technical issues and shitty demos.

Ubisoft has been messing with it with some tech demo style games publically. I'm sure the other big budget publishers are playing with it internally as well but none of them are going to start a huge AAA budgeted game before there is a significant install base outside of maybe cockpit style games that they plan to launch without VR anyway.

You can't be watching the same stream as us.
These Vive games are far better than what was on the Oculus stream.
What stream are you watching because it isn't this one. There is some of the usual steam shovelware but already several solid games
Don't forget the high prices of said shitty demos!
The Last Guardian hopefully
Now, that would be an incomplete product. Tossing a gamepad in the box won't fix it.
You still need lighthouse for tracking and the controllers for motion controls. Motion controls is a different thing than room scale.

How many archery demos did we see today? 5?

Also I feel so disconnected about the want for AAA gaming. I haven't played an AAA game in... 2 or so years now.
Personally more excited when the smaller devs start learning to design with VR instead of for vr.

That worry was more with PSVR than Oculus and Vive, right?

That was awesome. You can tell Jeff's awareness is much higher in the headset then for us seeing through his eyes.
Yeah these are some simple-looking games, and according to Jeff and Drew they suffer from framedrops still. I think Sony had the right idea in going with re-projected 60fps to 120fps. Running stuff at 90fps is hard unless you have a top of the line GPU (or really awful graphics.)
For VR sure. Now whether they incorporate room scale is the question.
There are over 100 games available on Steam for Vive. You do realize that you're not forced to buy all the games, right?

He said:
"That's fucking great."
So...continue on waiting, I guess?
I commented on this earlier, but this is most likely because Jeff is not setting up Vive in his home in the near future.

Just because a PC is more powerful than a console doesn't mean it's going to get higher-budget experiences. I know, crazy, right?
3? One of which was only a part of a set of literal tech demos by valve. So only two games

Lol, well that would explain it i guess. I hear the *ssraping in those prisoncamps is really something else...
But still, if he'd only smirk like once in a while...
Somebody suggested to watch pewdipie but i hate that fucking guy. This is the other end of the spectre though. But enough about him,let's get back to the Vive-goodness.

What does this have to do with what he said?

he said "well thats fucking great" and he sounded like he meant it
Same feeling here. And Uncharted 4 will spoil monitor gaming for 2 years anyway.
Higher highs and lower lows.

Oculus already implemented the same tech in their SDK. Valve is working on something similar but I guess it's not quite ready. Elite Dangerous supposedly benefits from it a good bit, to smooth out inconsistent framerates.

Two?
Technical issues wise, the Rift stream was way worse thus far. Granted, the GB team have that experience to try and hide issues as best they can.

Sure, both would be the ideal in a few years time. Don't see it though because as shown in the demos movement is still a problem that needs solving in vr.

I am actually really excited to attempt to use the UE4 editor in VR. If it is just as fast to blueprint script in VR as it is with a mouse and keyboard I may try developing an entire game IN VR.
I obviously wont be able to C++ in VR but hey, I can do most shit in blueprint and then convert my blueprints down to C++ for speed if I need to.
Ehh, you can only play so many VR Mario games before they get old.
Now if this was FZero Nintendo...

I liked when he was in that hover shooting game and he felt like he was running up and shooting someone. Just a cool application of the tech.
Everything seems kinda janky, but you can really see the potential. I'm really curious to see how VR interfaces and hardware evolve.

This is Drew:
You can't expect to put on that performance for a stream that is...7.5 hours and counting...!
You clearly didn't see what how ATW looks really shitty. It is good for a stop gap, but it going to look really gross at times running all the time.
Actually it is already live for Steam VR too:

It actually causes some issues to some of the launch games because the developers were caught by surprise by its sudden implementation. So that's why if you have a good enough PC is recommended to disable it. (at the smallest drop in framerate it is activated and it actually causes the games to render at 45 fps)
