So damn excited for the Vive stream tomorrow, I really think they're going to find the games are far more worth their time as long as they have a reasonable space for room scale movement. If they limit themselves to stationary standing, it will do the headset, themselves, and the viewers a disservice.

Oh my gooood.

Room Scale VR seems like a really cool thing, but I know full well that I'll never have a really good space for it. I'm curious as to how many consumers do.

Yeah unfortunately most probably don't. Many games I've seen are actually pretty good at accommodating smaller spaces though. I'm fortunate enough to live alone and have an apartment that I can rearrange to have a large space in my living room. I'm so ready.

Right now, my office that my computer in is fairly narrow and long. Not a great space for room scale VR. I could theoretically move it to the Family Room which has decent floor space, but I'd have to move furniture, move my PC in and set up the sensors probably every time I played. That's impractical to say the least.

That is far from ideal! You gotta try it at least once though right?

Anyway, time for Adventure Zone and then sleep. See y'all in the dystopian VR future!

When VR gets cheap enough for me to easily afford or some games come out to really justify the full price, I'll definitely try it at least once. I moved shit around to try kinect and full wii motion games, I can certainly try it if I get a VR set one day.

Well kinda, but as someone where room scale is unrealistic atm I would like to see how the vive is without it.

The Beastcast is superior for the COLECO Chameleon coverage.

Yes. They need to talk about this. I trust everyone has tweeted then a dozen times already.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I'm not even done with the Oculus archives! D:

 

[pizzacat]

They need to start ordering stuff in VR.

Pizza Hut ordering from a few extra life's ago was 👌🏻

 

[DamnBoxes]

Oh no, I'm coming down with a cold. *Sniffle Sniffle*

Better stay home from work tomorrow huh.

 

[Guess Who]

Can't wait to spend 10 straight hours watching other people own a Vive and not me

 

[Archaix]

I'm real worried I end up with a Vive ordered before the stream is over. Halfway hoping for a busy day so I can't catch any of it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm not worried that I'll be tempted to own a VIve by the time the stream ends. Mostly because it takes a lot to tempt me to spend $1400.

I'm honestly speechless.

You know they aren't doing room scale, right?

That answer didn't say they weren't doing room scale. It just said they aren't going to mix Room Scale with green screen output.

Geofflr said they made space for that shit.

Yeah, that just means they won't be able to do something like this

Well that looked pretty dopey, and not in a super fun way.

The contrast of the VR world and people and the people without the headset and the person with the silly thing on their head and controllers was a bit much to be entertaining.

Mixed reality is a neat idea, but definitely still in a concept stage.

Are you guys going to mute the stream when the podcast goes up?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I'll listen to both

at once

and I'll stream myself doing it, titled 'Man who listens to two things at once'

That's a really bad metal gear boss.

HIs fight was kind of a pain in the ass.

 

[yami4ct]

I wish I could bet on the VR stream not making me feel super motion sick like the Oculus one, but I'm kinda suspecting it'll be the same way. I'll start it up and bail if I see a couple games that mess me up.

For those that can deal, hope you have fun!

I really like those streams. They make me feel like a friend owns it and shows it to me.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I'm going to miss a lot of the stream tomorrow.

 

[broncobuster]

If I'm being honest with myself, I'm dangerously close to buying a Vive and want the stream to cool me on it

 

[Tubobutts]

I don't want to buy a Vive and I have a feeling the stream will make me continue to not want to buy a Vive.

 

[oti]

I only care about the stream.

 

[Lunar FC]

Stop foolin, none of yall bums are getting a Vive.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It might make me want to buy a Vibe.

I already have one tho

On the contrary, I think it's immensely important they show how this thing functions at not room scale.

This thing's a PC headset after all.

I assumed you already had one for your "art"

I cloud use one of them right abouy now.
