hahaha no gun

*flips off Kevin*

 

[Compsiox]

I knew they were playing Hover Junkers just based on your comments

 

[Wunder]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

THE ALIENS ARE HERE

 

[Death Metalist]

What's this game called?

I keep updating OP so, always check. Also, RIP headphone users.

 

[davemyers]

Can someone sum up the impression? Did they at least like this more than OR?

Jeff has said that the experiences between HMDs are pretty comparable, and he expects the stuff that is Vive-only right now will work just as well when Oculus Touch comes out.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

He's being mind-drilled!

 

[skLaFarebear]

Damn class making me miss the stream.

Im graduating in a month why am i going to classes.

 

[robotrock]

How can I get a vive this month

 

[patapuf]

Can someone sum up the impression? Did they at least like this more than OR?

They like it quite a bit, but there's also plenty of bad "early access" apps.

and the games seem quite expensive, even the good ones.

 

[Mihos]

Flipping the bird in VR is the future.

 

[Karak]

*flips off Kevin*

Its funny how many games have some mechanic like that right now. Its become sort of a dev injoke now. I know a couple games are tracking how many birds are flown per match in a couple future games. Cracks me up.
Our childlike expression at work.

The Hover Junkers devs have been very vocal in their preference of the Vive.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

I backed Hover Junkers on Indiegogo and got my copy. Just waiting on my Vive. This looks so fun.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Just POINT at them, Jeff.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Flipping the bird in VR is the future.

It's the NOW!

 

[tuxfool]

and look at that, he's actually moving around WITHOUT teleporting

As previously noted, you can do that if you do it with vehicles,

 

[Felix Lighter]

Then he played Hover Junkers.

 

[kAmui-]

I mean, if there's no mandatory attendance you could just stay home.

 

[Mihos]

If your mic dies in VR, it dies in real life

 

[Visualante2]

I think they're priced reasonably based on how small the install base is. I don't expect we'll see heavy discounts on VR titles when the Summer sale rolls around either.

 

[Hot Coldman]

This game seems dope as heck.

 

[robotrock]

Then he played Hover Junkers.

The Hover Junkers guys said they'll support the Touch when it's out yeah?

 

[Karak]

Then he played Hover Junkers.

Jeffs pretty realistic. Can't see this suddenly making him say jump.

We already saw massive sales recently and some prior to the retail. Doesn't seem that will stop with the summer sales routine.

 

[Alec]

Jeffs pretty realistic. Can't see this suddenly making him say jump.

You're right...but then again, all it takes is one killer app for a person to really "click" and fall in love with the potential.

 

[Burt]

This needs to get giffed with some Terminator-esque red tint targeting overlay

 

[patapuf]

I don't disagree, but still something one should be aware of.

This is all stuff that's going to correct itself over time.

And if the titles don't sell at current prices we will see sales.

 

[Karak]

Like i said Jeff is pretty realistic and potential he already stated prior.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Unfortunately there is. Mandatory attendance in college is the actual worst.

 

[Felix Lighter]

No but it makes a much better case for room scale than the previous games.

 

[Krejlooc]

the end of that hover junkers round when the guy he was fighting stopped and waved to them, and they both didn't know how to respond at first.

So fucking awesome.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Jeff is getting down

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Seems Jeff could really use some tutorials. He needs to know how to mount junk on his ship and it's been like 20 minutes and he still has no idea. Perhaps burden of knowledge? But I do wish they had come into this with at least *some* knowledge of how the games play so that they can play them to their potential.

Never said it didn't.

You might not be live. He has put stuff up a couple times.

 

[Croatoan]

So left analog stick might be okay?

Of coarse, but like I explained, we need a way to extrapolate forward position separate from where you are looking with the head set. That way we can accurately turn the body.

With only two tracked controllers that is an impossibility right now (unless you sacrifice one of them to use as a simple forward vector sensor) .Next Gen VR needs to have more trackers included in the base kit.

Full VR suits would allow the best IK tracking for limbs as well, but no dev is really going to support a peripheral. It needs to be packaged along with the controllers and lighthouses.


Hover junkers sort of does this. It only turns the in game body (third person) after the head reaches a certain distance away from "forward". When in first person the way you are looking is the way you are facing.

I have a feeling their hit colliders(triggers) are not even close to correct positionwise but it is good enough for their game.

Hell they may just be using a single capsule that changes it size based on head position.

The above may be confusing because hoverjunkers seems to do exactly what I am asking. The problem is accurately tracking a skeleton in space for things like positional hit tracking (ie headshots, arm shots, etc.) or allowing you to look down at your body (notice no VR games are doing this right now).

He did mount some stuff on his ship. He had barriers and such, but they were all shot off.

?? he's put stuff on his ship, he just doesnt know how to recover stuff since once you die it seems like your starter inventory is gone?

 

[RPGam3r]

Don't listen to this. Go to class and just watch the archive later. Not a big deal to watch it now or a couple hours later.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Now picture this: You can get much larger Junkers and have multiple people on them.

 

[Karak]

I like that jeff is playing this ducking and such and is doing great energy wise. I have seen some people get a bit tired quickly lol

 

[TheSlySoul]

I am getting tired of the death guitar jingle...

 

[Hellsing321]

Have they shown Hover Junkers campaign? I don't think any footage of that has surfaced but the devs have said its like Oregon Trail in VR.

 

[Karak]

Haha. Now he is talking about getting tired though

 

[kinggroin]

Have they shown Hover Junkers campaign? I don't think any footage of that has surfaced but the devs have said its like Oregon Trail in VR.

Wait...there's a campaign??

 

[Lunar FC]

Finally home to watch with some grub. Lets go!

 

[Myggen]

That poor robot.

 

[Death Metalist]

The robot is just fucked at all times.

 

[Burt]

Ants in my eyes Johnsbot?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Now picture this: You can get much larger Junkers and have multiple people on them.

Who drives? Is it like Trackmania Turbo?!

 

[Hellsing321]

Wait...there's a campaign??

Yeah don't know if its actually in the game yet.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Who drives? Is it like Trackmania Turbo?!

Whoever picks up the driving thing!
