Tested's last podcast was actually pretty good and had a long segment dedicated to VR - one area of tech where they're really informed, having demo'd pretty much all the major technologies multiple times. I remember Brad making a couple omissions during the last weeks' bombcast regarding what was annouced, so check it out if you want the full story.

tl;dw - Valve's solution seems to be the most fully realised/immersive.

who gave the duck dynasty guys VR

 

[Basileus777]

I feel like this paparazzi game would make more sense if there are decoys that the paparazzi have to differentiate from the real person.

Or if there were limited film.

 

[stump sock]

the paparazzi missions in GTA V were one of my favorite parts and I kind of wish there were more of them.

like, just have an entire campaign based around Nightcrawler maybe?!

I'm actually kind of interested in FFXV even though I haven't played one since IX. I like the idea of a story about bros being bros with their bros and broing out. But it doesn't look like they announced it for PC which I assumed was a shoe-in given Square's recent PC porting.

I'd be pretty surprised if it didn't make it's way to PC eventually.

Yeah Valve's look like the most interesting but god dammit I don'T want to have to setup laser crap all around my room.

Hell I don't even use a 5.1 setup because I don't want to have to setup speaker around my room.

Yup, I'm the same in that regards - I don't like speakers/cables around my living room and not fussed enough to go to the expense of wall mounting and running the cables into the wall.

That said, as cool as the idea of walking around in VR is, I think the vast majority of consumer experiences that make it to market will be the sit-down variety, with lots of head turning/chair spinning. You probably won't need the laser emitters that far away just for that - putting them either side of your desk/monitor should suffice.

Brad also alluded to some type of VR podcast/roundtable thing, but I guess the chances of that are getting slimmer the further we get away from GDC.

Been wanting Brad to do some type of semi-regular tech/dev focused thing for years - he knows quite of few really smart people who would be great on it. But I'm not holding my breath

True.... Only reason I'm interested in VR is for cockpit stuff (I play a lot of racing games and flight sims) so I really don't care that much for the positioning stuff.

Same. Star Citizen and A-10 Warthog alone will pretty much justify my VR purchase. Anything else worth playing is just gravy.

 

[Megasoum]

Paparazzi sure look like a terrible game.

Edit: I guess at 5$ it's not too bad...

Aye. I'm in it for the space, flight, and racing games.

Maybe spectating some Dota 2 matches as well.

Yup, basically a more immersive TrackIR. Plus, cockpit-based experiences avoids VR's big movement/control issue. Switching between 1:1 movement and input controlled movement immediately breaks presence and can cause motion sickness. But unless you have a huge VR-dedicated room, I don't see how it can be avoided.

 

[strafer]

rest at a bonfire......nice.

This FF looks pretty cool. Not sure about the combat though.

 

[TraBuch]

Paparazzi seems like it could be fun if it was balanced better. Camera shot size needs to be smaller, and either have a limit to the amount of pictures you can take or have the missed shots be penalized more harshly.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Combat seems like it could be pretty cool after they tighten it up near release. Brad wasn't using his techniques very much, I would be spamming that dragoon leap. Messing around with context weapons could be interesting, i'm curious to see how combat evolves over time in the full game.

Combat is fun. The demo doesn't let you get new techniques when you level tho so full game should be more dynamic.

VR ecchi for daaaaayyyyssss

 

[funkystudent]

Testeddotcom's Will Smith's beard sure is going places.


If I was him I would keep it going until they do another 24 hour podcast (if they still do those) and then go full clean shaven if they reach X goal.



Also is it me or does Final Fantasy XV Douche Version have way more content then Ground Zeros? Its a shame Konami didnt have a game they could have bundled that with. Konami should maybe make more games.

 

[Kimaka]

FFXV is looking like a must buy. It is about time for me to get a current gen console since I can finally justify it.

EXCELLENT

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Then license their properties out. No real risk there so long as you don't just give the licenses to the first gamemaker newb to show up at your door and maybe we'd get a good castlevania game again, or a rerelease/remaster of more Suikoden games or anything.

At some point, they have to be making so little from their games division that selling it and/or their IPs off makes a lot of sense.

Were you able to do this in the demo?

you have to find 4 the pieces for it but yea, you can get that move in the demo. I guess it was supposed to be a secret but everyone knows about it now. pretty badass.

 

[chogidogs]

I think killing the transport ship of nuns and orphans being driven by a puppy just sealed the deal for me that Alex/Vinny is the best QL team.

 

[popo]

This might sound like vanity, in reality it is more laziness, but VR is a non starter for me as long as the goggles fuck up your hair every time you want to play a game. In the far future when the glasses look like sunglasses then maybe, but until then the game will have to be pretty damn special for me to go for a Ryckert cut.

it's almost like most people are complex figures and not just two dimensional caricatures.

the first time I ever heard of Dan was someone talking about Air Force Gator so I have to say that following from that, everything about him makes total sense to me.

So Luke Smith designed the cover of Dan's new book? I'm guessing that's Bungie's Luke Smith?

Everyone in that video looks like someone that would make You Don't Know Jack. Glad it's already funded.

I funded this but I'm not sure if it will be as great as Fibbage and Drawful. Those both have the competing dual axis of putting in things that seem like the correct answer to win and putting in funny answers to win the most likes award. So people can play how they want without being forced to try to be funny if they don't want to. This one seems like it is just "funniest thing" and it also pits people's answers directly against each other. So someone that isn't good at coming up with funny answers will get explicitly shown this by the points and votes. So it could cause some bad feelings.

 

[Einbroch]

Brad's awfulness at games is usually amusing, but that FFXV demo was rough. Game looks alright, will have to see how it ends up being.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

"Episode Duscae" is the most Final Fantasy name I can think of. And here I thought Fabula Nova Crystalis was the pinnacle. It's so Final Fantasy it actually took me a few seconds to realise that Episode is just a normal word.
