LOL tossing the coupon in the recycle bin like an basketball player

 

[Chuck]

Man, this sure does look cheap.

Job Simulator looks like the most fun VR game I've seen. Like, not 550 bucks fun but fun.

I didn't enjoy it playing it by myself. Having people watch you makes it good because you can get a reaction from them

 

[kinggroin]

do I have to play Job Simulator standing up? can I play it while sitting down?

Uh...I guess, but considering how much vertical movement is asked of your controllers, and how much spinning around is needed...that would be, not optimal.

Jeff's folks owned a tyre place/auto shop, Jeff is a proper mechanicsman.

PSILY guys didn't mention anything either. It's different experiences across the board. I don't get the obsession with GB here, it's detail reviews of the device, are people not reading?

- One of the most comfortable VR
- Move controllers are outdated but work
- Screen not as clear as PC VR
- Games are smaller in scope and scale
- Great potential
- Fair price
- Ok to wait for a true must have
- Tracking can be wonky game-to-game basis

When does the PSILY podcast go up to download usually?

 

[Enordash]

There are actually objectives to complete with various levels of success (which they're kinda ignoring). It's also, again, a game that is MUCH more fun being IN it than just watching.

You really have to make your own fun in Job Simulator though (in my opinion). Simply following directions gets old incredibly fast regardless of how silly you are being with it. Of course this all comes down to my personal experience.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Job Simulator seems like a thing that's fun to mess around with for like 10 minutes and then fall into a deep despair cause you just spent 500-800$ on VR.

 

[kiguel182]

It's a great introduction to VR. The writing is really great, too. It's legitimately funny.

Of everything they have showed in all of these streams is the one thing I've thought "Yup, I would play this". It just seems like such a clever idea with great implementation. And yeah, it looks like it's really funny.

This exact comment was made about the exact same game in the HTC Vive launch thread, except it was "not $800 fun".

Was it me? I wouldn't be surprised if I'm on a loop. I'm really curious about what Google will do with VR since it's so cheap compared to this and way more portable.

 

[robotrock]

The Job Simulator guys are making a Rick and Morty VR game which is basically this but you just dick around Rick's garage lab.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Jeff puked on stream. I can't believe this shit.

VR is fucked.

No, I agree, but just clarifying that it isn't just a sandbox

Job Simulator seems like a thing that's fun to mess around with for like 10 minutes and then fall into a deep despair cause you just spent 500-800$ on VR.

1) It's not 10 minutes if fun (more like 2-3 hours :-D)

2) I hope you don't drop $400 on a PSVR and only buy one $20 game for it, heh

 

[Pedersen]

Glad there is still fun stuff like the other VR streams haha

 

[ShadowKingpin]

Someone PLEASE make a GIF of Jeff barfing in his hat in-game.

 

[Salarians]

Jeff puked on stream. I can't believe this shit.

VR is fucked.

uwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

Time to get on localizing that Namco Bandai, you're sitting on a money pile.

beverly hills cop come on man

You may have just sold me on VR.

 

[Kinyou]

I do wonder what happens if you move your head inside the character

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Lol

 

[Zaph]

Dan is so bad at being Dan sometimes

 

[akileese]

Job Simulator is still the VR title I want to play the most.

 

[chogidogs]

I want to vote off Dan from Giant Bomb.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

From what planet is he.. he saw Beverly Hills Cop 3, but not 1 or 2?

 

[DangerMouse]

LOL bananas in the tail pipe, and now it's smoking

 

[kinggroin]

If it's designed "right" it should black out.


If it's like these early access games I've played, get ready for some jarring looks at her model's innards.

Man, Dan Ryckert suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Dan would also like his 2 cups of expresso.

It gave me two VR 'firsts':

- Pouring liquid from one cup into another cup is just fascinating.. I could do it for hours.

- When I opened the fridge, I could swear I felt a real chill.

 

[Sidewinder]

Yeah smh, must have title right there and they just don't care! Next up they'll cancel Ace Combat VR ;(

 

[androvsky]

The thing is that Vive's room-scale tracking (besides offering accurate positioning for movement) also ensures that the actual core stability is extremely solid.

If PSVR has problematic tracking (due to Sony's strange decision to use the old motion controllers/PS camera?) it is basically DOA. Any type of micro judder or involuntary movement will cause intense nausea.

It's strange seeing people discuss PSVR as if this is the first time anyone's used it. I've used it three times at Best Buy, saw other people use it there, there's a big thread of people on gaf that's used it at Best Buy and Gamestop, it's been at trade shows, no one's had a problem until today.

The difference is today is the first time it's been set up by end users, and it's apparently pickier than expected. Hopefully it's not too hard to get working right.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Have they played Driveclub yet?

Have they played Driveclub yet?

embargo'd till next week

Voodoo Vince Remaster! These are REAL BREAKING NEWS

 

[jet1911]

Voodoo Vince?!? :O

 

[Gtagentleman]

now THIS can save VR

 

[Salarians]

Voodoo Vince Remastered whaaaaat

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Voodoo Vince Remastered for XB1/PC?!

 

[Fantastapotamus]

HOT SCOOPS

 

[robotrock]

Jeff married Voodoo Vince. Who better to be the best man than Phil?

Ninja Scooter did you know about a new Voodoo Vince before everyone else did

 

[sprinkles]

This stream has convinced me to forgo PSVR and just save up for Vive.

I just came home from work so I did not watch the stream yet. But I might just do the same, save up for VR with no compromises.

 

[Death Metalist]

lmao, holy shit. Voodoo Vince remaster.

 

[Aerocrane]

Yeah smh, must have title right there and they just don't care! Next up they'll cancel Ace Combat VR ;(

They won't cancel the new Ace Combat since it is a numbered title so it will not be a VR only title.

 

[repeater]

What's a Voodoo Wince?

 

[Soi-Fong]

Man this Jim Sterling review is nice. I can see why he's real popular around GAF.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

I'm still going to get PSVR since I don't feel like building a $1,000 PC and paying another $800 for the headset. I want Vive, but I can wait for a while and deal with Sony for the time being.

 

[Zomba13]

On a bit of a delay as I took a break but Thumper looks fucking insane. Like some kind of crazy extra dimensional high with fractals and super complicated maths and space bugs.

I dunno how hard or how fun it'd be to actually play and not so much a fan of the "music" (percussion really), but damn, if it doesn't have a style and look visually interesting.
