I can't tell if handibot is an actual bot or an actual person roleplaying a tutorial bot.

I don't know which one is better.

Welp. I should have kept watching.

 

[Hellsing321]

All Giant Bomb content must now be done in Rec Room.

 

[Lunar FC]

Haven't watched the VRodeo yet, is rec room actually cool? How have I not heard of it?

It looks cool. Go try it out and report back.

 

[sonto340]

It's part of the prologue though lol.

This is such a poor excuse I see brought up all the time.

 

[Sou Da]

"I hear your friends laughing at me btw"

If only he knew.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

This is such a poor excuse I see brought up all the time.

I mean, it's part of the marketing. It's not against any kind of rules to discuss what's freely available in trailers.

 

[petethepanda]

Oh my god, Jeff behind the counter in Rec Room. I could watch that forever.

this is the best.

The way that child came to him for help.

 

[Twin Tails]

Rec Room brings people together.

 

[kai3345]

joining a party in rec room for 2016 best moment or sequence

 

[Antiwhippy]

The way that child came to him for help.

And how you can see a child corrupted by adults in real time.

 

[petethepanda]

Oh god what is happening

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Rec Room looks pretttty fun. Like legit fun. Alot of VR games I've seen seem tedious, but Rec Room looks like...it's actually fun.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Like honestly, I believe VR's greatest potential has very little to do with gaming.

 

[Lunar FC]

Oh I can confirm this 100%.

Enjoying the FIFA 17 demo, I only get these games every three years so this feels like a nice refresh. Anybody in here planning on getting the game, I never have anybody to play online.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Oh I can confirm this 100%.

 

[m_shortpants]

Wow, that Rec Room demonstration is what I needed to see from VR.

Great application and Handibot was just too good. you can't write this stuff.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Also man gotta feel bummed out for the people who got an occulus over a vive.

 

[Lunar FC]

Also man gotta feel bummed out for the people who got an occulus over a vive.

I stressed over this decision for months, now it seems so fucking obvious.

 

[Tagyhag]

Nah, they should have seen it coming as soon as Oculus got bought out by Facebook.

At least some people got it through the Kickstarter.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Though the social aspect shown by rec room should be facebook's forte right?

Maybe that's the end goal.

Though being silly buggers with weird random internet people is more appealling than being in VR with your aunt.

 

[derFeef]

Goddamn this Yakuza game looks wird and awesome. So I guess my best shot is getting a PS4 and Yakuza 0 in January?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

That Insomniac game looks like a totally competent brawler that I still probably wouldn't even buy for 10€. But 50€? Seriously? Damn

 

[Jintor]

if i want to play yakuza games where should i start anyway?

I mean I won't have time because persona 5 is arriving on tues and translating/playing that is going to be... fun, but for the future. since i finally hooked up this ps3 and all.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Oh wait.

I thought you were a yakuza person for whatever reason.

 

[Jintor]

i have no objections to becoming one

 

[fleck0]

So Handi-bot is a shoe-in for character of the year. I'm ready to see what I believe is a human to win that award.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Goddamn this Yakuza game looks wird and awesome. So I guess my best shot is getting a PS4 and Yakuza 0 in January?

That'd be easiest, yeah.

If you just have a PS3, then 4 or 5. I prefer 5, but it kind of leads off from 4 so maybe that's a better place to start. Just don't start with 3 because it's super boring. And if you have PS+, then you probably have 4 and 5 already.

"we need to figure out how to kill handibot"

It's that Hitman training coming out

 

[Antiwhippy]

Is anyone else really bothered by the voiceacting in the insomniac game?

Sounds like a reading done by a high school theatre group.

 

[Doop]

Rec Room looks great, and Handibot was hilarious. But jesus christ those "triggered" jokes just get even worse when you hear a dude say it out loud.

 

[Jintor]

triggered is just shorthand for 'haha look you reacted to something i said'

Yeah everyone in Rec Room seemed pretty cool except for that guy...

 

[Aselith]

Yes, it's the verbal form of when someone moves quickly at you like they're going to punch and shouts "made you flinch" like that means something.

 

[Tubobutts]

I don't get why Dan and Brad are against the idea of third person VR games. I think you could do weird stuff like insanity effects or do the dumb thing where it's revealed that they weren't talking to your character but to you.

Really I just think VR should be used to mess with the person playing.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I want a 2nd person VR game.

 

[Tubobutts]

I want a 2nd person VR game.

Like Summer Lesson but you get to see how creepy you are.

 

[Plesiades]

Like Summer Lesson but you get to see how creepy you are.

New feature: hidden spectator camera.

Too late.

Would you say

you were

Spoiler

gotcha

 

[Jintor]

there's something profoundingly existential about having to pretend to be an npc

probably something similar to theme park cast members but one level of reality removed

 

[Antiwhippy]

Doing it recreationally, even.

 

[Jintor]

oh my god they joined a party by fistbumping

 

[Jintor]

i'm willing to put this vrodeo and that last shenmue episode on the all time greats of giant bomb

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I hope whoever Handibot is will eventually see this video and know it was all worth it.

 

[Death Metalist]

There's something beautiful about Jeff beating the fuck out of this dummy while some guy is singing Nursery Rhymes.

 

[oti]

This Insomniac VR games screams "we don't know what works but here's a game give us $50 plz".

Funny how now all hopes are on Sony to make VR actually cool.

Except for that VR chat room of course. That's amazing.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

How is this game free.
