RORIE

 

[saveweyard]

Rorie!

 

[Bsigg12]

God, why are they so down on VR? These guys just hate moving around and are a bunch of curmudgeons!

I would be too after playing/watching VR for 9 hours straight.

 

[Myggen]

Burning man simulator.

 

[Dimmle]

Mall Kiosk T-Shirt Studio 3D!

420 Blaze it Simulator.

 

[Kinsei]

This looks like a really neat art app.

 

[theSlacker]

Welp, that is what I was waiting for.

 

[Myggen]

Nice touch on that penis.

 

[Lunar FC]

Ew Rorie, don't bring the chat on set with you.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Sorry Drew, no that is not how the tracking works.

The lighthouses are dumb. They are emitters, not sensors.

 

[BigAT]

Are they using the same computer they were for the Oculus stream?

 

[Bsigg12]

Yes

 

[mrklaw]

I don't think they've shown Cloudlands mini golf or Realities? Surprised if they don't play Cloudlands

Which is just about the most genius and elegant thing about them. The oculus method is a brute force approach to tracking.

 

[robotrock]

Damn Valve really pulled it together for this launch IMO. Including Tiltbrush and Job Simulator is so smart.

I'm surprised at how many of these game support the controllers too. They must have got devkits a good while ago.

I can only pray Oculus has already handed out Tocuh devkits.

I was skeptical at first, but the more I read and see the clearer it is that the Vive's tracking solution is objectively better in every way. Oculus CV2 will be using lighthouse-like tracking.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Asynchronous gameplay is BACK!

 

[Brinbe]

this is confusing

 

[Brinbe]

this one's better. Definitely Wii U shit here

 

[Dimmle]

This looks like Pac Man Vs. That can only be a good thing.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Sorry Drew, no that is not how the tracking works.

The lighthouses are dumb. They are emitters, not sensors.

Durante would explain a lot better than I ever could about why it's an advantage to configure them that way.

But he's likely busy playing with his own Vive

What is this game called?

 

[Myggen]

What is this game called?

Ruckus Ridge VR

Ruckus Ridge VR

 

[jett]

People always trying to make asymmetrical multiplayer happen.

It's never gonna happen.

This game is okay for what it is.

Ruckus Ridge VR

Ruckus Ridge VR

Thanks!

Is VR the new DS/64/super and get attached to every title?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

That face when...

...Pat Tuesday.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This game looks good.

 

[jediyoshi]

Thanks!

I wouldn't mind the DS method of making VR acronyms.

 

[Fitts]

I dunno about Blacklist because I haven't played it, but Chaos Theory spies vs. mercs was the business.

A lot of the best multiplayer games are asymmetrical.

Just think of the amount of extra data the Oculus needs. They need a USB3 port just for one camera. Touch is going to require another. If they need USB3 then one should presume that there is a not insignificant amount of data to be processed by the PC.

The Vive only needs USB2 ports. Will have to wait for teardowns but I suspect that all the processing is being done by a low power microcontroller in the headset.

Apparently if you want to use the pass through camera for Chaperone it says to use a USB3 port.

 

[Dimmle]

A game about a family of plague doctors torn apart by war? I'm into it.

 

[Wunder]

VR Xcom?

That's a huge difference. I'll bet Carmack would love so much to be able to experiment with (and talk publicly about) lighthouse tracking.

 

[tuxfool]

Ah yeah, true. That was before they added the camera. Still they can use processing budget for chaperone that the Oculus doesn't have as it needs that for tracking position with the two cameras.

 

[kinggroin]

They're not liking Quar?? Aw man. I LOVED it. Crazy immersive, and so much fun walking around to different angles.

 

[Cimarron]

Did they already play legend of lucca?

 

[Lister]

Can't see games like that having the budget of Halo, Uncharted or Gran Turismo.

And yet they are better games than those.

Also, I doubt budgets are super lopsided, unless you include markeitng, because yes, marketing for those types of games is on an order of magnitude higher.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Jeff just subconsciously stepped over an obstacle that isn't real.

 

[Brinbe]

holy shit lol

 

[Dimmle]

This spy game.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Just got home. How is the vive stream been compared to the rift?

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Started the stream from the beginning. Now the wife wants one. I'm tempted to just buy a 970 now and put an order in for the vive.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Just got home. How is the vive stream been compared to the rift?

A lot of similarly shallow in-progress junk, but the highs have been much higher.

 

[xanavi]

Man, ideally you'd have a cable suspension system so you're not constantly afraid of where you're walking.
