Is it just me or is he making movements that aren't being reflected in the game? Like he side stepped there but in the game he didn't appear to move to the side much at all.
 
Well 1 out of 3 interesting tech demos seems okay so far.
Slingshot demo was lame and so was Tennis. The shmup looked fun though.
 
Yeah, I was never convinced about this Selfie Tennis game. Cute idea, but impractical, because you don't have enough time to react. Maybe if they would have implemented a slow down when teleporting.

Only seems that way from our perspective for whatever reason. Trust me. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of playing selfie tennis
 
Just got PR for that tennis game:

#SelfieTennis is the creation of a freewheeling group of jammers who have gathered under the banner of VRUnicorns. With absolutely no knowledge of tennis beyond that it involves rackets and some balls, VRUnicorns have recreated tennis: you play with or against yourself in virtual reality and record your fancy tricks with the #SelfieStick for the world to see.

“#SelfieTennis will change the way people think about tennis and playing with themselves” offered VRUnicorns’ #ChickenBitch, Julie Heyde, “Recreating one of the world’s most popular sports in VR by removing 50% of the players and altering pretty much all the rules makes perfect sense when you don’t think about it”.

CEO, CFO and COO of Devolver Digital, Fork Parker commented, “I did not get to own 14 mansions, 6 helicopters and more yachts than I can possibly count by not knowing that all successful hardware platforms are powered by porn. When the marketing department told me they had a VR project that was all about playing with yourself, I was 100% behind it. Now I find that those clowns were talking about tennis.''

#SelfieTennis is available for HTC Vive via Steam but does not support Virtual Boy…yet.

From what I see the ball is recalled back in time to the other side of the net when you're teleported.
 
They got all these cables hanging from the ceiling. Should have just hung the vive cable down from the ceiling as well like they do in self-service car wash places.
 
One of the Headmaster devs said to the Tested guys that you have to re-think a lot of traditional game mechanics when making a VR sports game. One example was completely removing the random ball spawn location because your physical location and movements add enough randomness as it is.

Seems to be disagreement if that's a good idea. Some people who've tried said it break immersion more than stepping over the cable.
 
#fuckyourselfietennis

also, that cable is going to hurt someone. Remember the wii strap/wii condom thing? FOX News are going to have a field day.

The game seemed to roll back in time a little when you teleported.
