lol

 

[shanew21]

Holy shit. Is that how far away they are sitting? No wonder they are having problems.

It's recommended that you sit at least 6 feet from the camera. They're just following the instructions.

 

[MUnited83]

Holy shit. Is that how far away they are sitting? No wonder they are having problems.

It's under the max recommended range Sony themselves have set, so that's more on Sony for not having set the limit lower. They literally followed the instructions, and it fucked up.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Holy shit. Is that how far away they are sitting? No wonder they are having problems.

Except it's within the safe distance Sony themselves recommend. And when they tried the VR demo disc, Jeff's head fit just fine into where it was supposed to.

 

[Sou Da]

PSVR killed Dan

 

[Novocaine]

Alright that's pretty fucking funny

 

[The Omega Man]

Look at that Robot go OMG

 

[Tagyhag]

They're being waaaay too jaded right now.

I don't see any pissing of pants.

 

[Salarians]

PSVR is worth it now

 

[GlamFM]

OK, this robot stuff is AMAZING

 

[robotrock]

I don't know what people were expecting? Super polished experiences? This is VR in it's infancy. Jank is a part of the deal. A majority of GB's VR streams and VRodeo's using Vive and Oculus come off feeling the same way as this one.

Honestly expected the headset tracking to be reliable. I had already prepared subpar expectations for the move controller tracking.

Games are more or less what I expected, but Rez changes everything for me.

 

[repeater]

So jaded

 

[dlbeast]

Guess ill wait till next year. Pro and 4k tv for me instead.

 

[stump sock]

That's not how fun works, dude. If you have to try, it's not fun.

no, no, just repeat to yourself "I am having a great time."

 

[chogidogs]

This is great.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Holy shit lol

 

[Data West]

look at these jaded assholes. don't they even like stuff?

 

[skynidas]

i don't see what's so funny. and dan laugh is fucking obnoxious

 

[Vlaphor]

Holy shit. Is that how far away they are sitting? No wonder they are having problems.

They've lowered the lights, Brad has tried it also sitting at a different place, Jeff is within the allowed range, they've claimed the same issues at home, and other reviewers have had the same issues.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

WEll yeah that's a different issue that needs to be addressed for sure. I mean more the general underwhelming-ness of the software experiences.

 

[daveo42]

Now this is the kind of stupid I love.

 

[The Omega Man]

I was about to cancel my pre-order, but now, pre-order kept!

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Well this took a great turn.

 

[Quonny]

The jaded jokes are slowly getting to be more annoying than the people actually saying they're jaded.

 

[stump sock]

i don't see what's so funny. and dan laugh is fucking obnoxious

oh, now they're having too much fun

 

[Savantcore]

It's recommended that you sit at least 6 feet from the camera. They're just following the instructions.

Did it say that during set up? This is what the PS Blog says.

The recommended play space measures approximately 9.8 feet by 6.2 feet total, with the user in VR sitting about 5 feet in front of the PlayStation Camera / TV.

[Zaph]

VR is great so long as you don't try to make a 'real' game in it.

 

[Enordash]

What are you talking about, he's cracking everyone up

Yea, seriously. People are just seeing what they want to see at this point. They also praised the hell out of the hardware design before we got in, but maybe that was so they could set people up just to knock them down, right?

 

[GeoNeo]

This is like some crazy shit. 😂😂😂

 

[Iriscomeback]

omg this game is fantastic for party's

 

[bjork]

this robot thing is spectacular

 

[The Jackdog]

Yea, seriously. People are just seeing what they want to see at this point. They also praised the hell out of the hardware design before we got in, but maybe that was so they could set people up just to knock them down, right?

this entire livestream has been set up to be a long con take down of PSVR and all things sony.

 

[Novocaine]

They're being waaaay too jaded right now.

I don't see any pissing of pants.

Maybe they should just have fun.

 

[Beckx]

I don't know what people were expecting? Super polished experiences? This is VR in it's infancy. Jank is a part of the deal. A majority of GB's VR streams and VRodeo's using Vive and Oculus come off feeling the same way as this one.

For me biggest surprise were the parts where the tech just wasn't working well in a way that increased physical discomfort. The streams for the other headsets were showing janky games but the tech was solid.

 

[pizzacat]

I'm already setting up a patreon for them if they're not going to be jaded anymore. Jadedness brings the real $$$$

 

[Pharaoh 117]

That's some funny shit.

 

[Wiseblood]

What are you talking about, he's cracking everyone up

You got me dude, I was being totally serious.

 

[valkillmore]

Yea, seriously. People are just seeing what they want to see at this point. They also praised the hell out of the hardware design before we got in, but maybe that was so they could set people up just to knock them down, right?

huh?

 

[MassiveNights]

That one looked cool.

 

[Death Metalist]

DJ cake is a stone cold killer. DJ stuff is fantastic in this.

 

[Violater]

This looks like something that should be free with the system.

 

[Easy_D]

Jeff said something's cool, from the most jaded man in the universe, that's high praise indeed.

 

[Slurmer]

Giant Bomb tries to make everything I love look bad. It's sad because so many people follow them and let them decide their opinion for them. First Shenmue, now this. I played PSVR and had no issues.

Shenmue IS bad though, to be fair

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Alright now this game isn't as good. A visualizer isn't that cool.

 

[stump sock]

This looks like something that should be free with the system.

You could say that about literally 90% of all VR "experiences" though

 

[OverBlood 3]

i don't see what's so funny. and dan laugh is fucking obnoxious

God tell us how you really feel

 

[Zalusithix]

VR is great so long as you don't try to make a 'real traditional' game in it.

FTFY. New medium, new design rules. Rules that are still be ironed out.

 

[Wiseblood]

The only reason they had fun with that game was because it was made by their FRIENDS at Harmonix, which overrules their burning hatred of all things Sony.

 

[robotrock]

The last time Giant Bomb played an online game with a VR developer....well

 

[DrArchon]

That Harmonix game looked like a neat time-waster. Would be nice to upload a bunch of music and just chill out.
