This guy always gives good interviews on Tested

The third person game idea is just fucking stupid. I can see some application in affecting the player's interpretation of what was going on screen like at the very end of that insomiac game, but I would put money down on that being more annoying than innovating.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

The Talos Principle would make for a pretty dope Oculus game

 

[stump sock]

so they're going with "Home" huh?

There has been plenty of public demos of Lucky's Quest and they have been almost universally glowing regarding the VR integration.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Uhhh I wouldn't get your hopes up. The kind of games that the PS4 will be able to push at sufficient framerates will be very rudimentary, at least visually.

It might not be as good as the top end PC stuff but I think you're selling it a bit short there.

 

[Archaix]

Oh my god this Rift thing is amazing. Is there any crowd? Are they just not mic'd at all? I'm pretty sure I heard somebody say "I was yelling boo-urns" but beyond that the crowd reaction is death.

if they could pull off Vita level graphics at a good framerate, I would have no complaints

lol at that high five

it's better than having that fucking "WOO!" guy from the Keighleys

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I am definitely not.

VR requires the equivalent of TWO (higher than HD) screens to be rendered at at least 90 hz each. PS4 plays most games at sub-1080p 30hz.

Neh I've heard them a few times, I just think they're pausing too much for assumed applause.

I heard exactly one person clap and I'm mostly convinced the sound was coming from backstage.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Palmer Luckey interviews a stock Xbox One Controller

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Sounds like they're positioning their own controller as an add-on.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I reeeeally hope I can play Eve Valkyrie with my HOTAS setup.

oh, i don't expect anything that isn't just slightly above ps3 quality from the morpheus given the specs they're working with. They're gonna try to basically use some tech to fake +60 framerates on more intense games is what ive read.

I just trust sony as a developer to make decent looking and decent playing games more than i trust an unknown quantity like Oculus

 

[Twin Tails]

Let's clap

 

[Megasoum]

God damn shitty internet at work around lunch time. I can't even watch the stream on "Mobile" quality on twitch.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Lucky is such a likable guy.

Some real gif opportunities there.

about 50% of the projected sales gone

60 hz is insufficient. Frame interpolation adds latency that is not acceptable in VR. It wouldn't work, they have a MASSIVE technical hurdle that Oculus doesn't have.

I am very, very skeptical of Morpheus for these reasons.

 

[Twin Tails]

You have 2 hands

This doesn't have Summer Lessons, so I'm not interested.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I'm not able to watch this at the immediate moment, but the Gaming thread seemed to suggest motion controls for this thing?

It's going to be disorienting enough to not be able to see the controller in my hand, and they want to do motion controls!?

why does nobody ever take my needs into account

 

[Zaph]

"We've built a demo..."

I really hope that doesn't end up chiselled into the headstone of VR's grave.

I guess we'll find out next week then. I imagine if they're going for 90-120 fps that the games are going to be PS3 quality at their best, which truthfully is alright with me.

What i really want to know is if sony will allow for morpheus to be used on PC, like how the DS4 works unofficially.

Because i aint gonna have 2 headsets in my home for this nonsense.

Motion controls would actually be the most natural way to do it though, because the point is immersion.

Why did I not watch that Höme Improvisation QL?

Probably one of the best QLs 2015.

Dude, you're missing the entire point. You can see your "hands" in virtual space. This input method reduces disorientation, not increases it

 

[Teddified]

This is not Science Fiction guys.

...

Right, I need to stop equating "motion controls" with "wiimote." Still, it's going to have to be 1:1 perfect all the time to not be aggravating.

It's still going to be super disorienting to have you hands positioned holding something, and your virtual hands doing something else. This is likely an "experience it" thing like Jeff has been talking about.

 

[BUNTING1243]

i hope that the oculus touch supports one handed mode because otherwise I really can't see how hentai games will be viable on this platform.

Real talk though I sorta like the combination of the Touch and Xbone controller for input. Seems like the best of both worlds.

 

[stump sock]

I'm trying to load a video on youtube and it'S defaulting to 140p...

Oh don't worry, they thought of everything.

Think of it like this:

Your hand feels you're holding a "thing". You look at your hand, and you're holding a gun. That's not disorienting, that's immersive. It might be weird if your virtual hands are doing something more complex, but I don't think many devs will have the player doing odd things.

Fuck. Dusty Rhodes passed away.

That's kinda what I'm worried about. Not every game can have you holding a thing all the time... Well, i guess they can, but then isn't that limiting the market?

Well they don't have to show your hands all the time. Hell, they don't need to use the motion controllers at all. The Oculus comes with an Xbox One controller.

I think setting limitations to something as focused as VR is a good thing. You aren't going to bring every game experience to that platform.

Though they can still use the 360 pad if they want to right?
