a classic alone in the dark style game where you move thru the rooms of an old mansion with little combat more about tension and atmosphere would be stellar

Just saw this and it's pretty cool. With a larger space you could do 90 degree rotations instead. Seems like it would feel less teleporty than systems like the gallery uses. Definitely interested in trying it out.

For those who complained about shaky footage, at least Job Simulator has an anti-head bob camera feed now:

but the selfie camera is the real scoop here.
Just a floating headset and hands can be quite expressive.

If that works well I could almost see myself wanting an L-shaped play area, with one long corridor in my room, which is position myself in when wanting to move long distances when exploring

Damn it, I got the wrong VR helmet. That's amazing.
Yea holy shit I thought budget cuts would be gimmicky when I first saw it but right now it is the killer vr app for me.

These are the type of VR experiences I want. Oculus can keep their seated gamepad experiences.

Just an FYI. It's strongly rumoured to be coming to Touch.
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4a44jy/tested_lets_play_vr_htc_vive_demos/d0y5gh6?context=3
Rift support isn't confirmed yet - we do have the kit though and will start experimenting with it shortly after GDC
By all accounts budget cuts is a standing 360 game. A 180 teleport would presumably be an easy solution to make it a standing 180 game for people that don't have opposing sensors... but we'll see what comes out of their work with the Touch dev kits.

and to be fair it sounds like Budget Cuts is a fall release so Oculus touch might be out when the full game is out.
But i do think this open access to these early demos on the Vive by sites like Nodes has really amped up the expectations alot.

Guess you gotta pick your poison until something better is discovered. Teleportation feels like hacking and can be disorienting/confusing, and thumbstick/touchpad inputs cause a physical disconnect and potentially cause nausea.
With Walkabout, you're never disconnected physically, just looking at two things at once- it looks intuitive right away, so that's a plus too. I suppose it will vary depending on the play area size/how frequently you have to reorient.
A lot of people seem excited for omni treadmills, but according to Alex from StressLevelZero, they aren't very fulfilling because leg movements without actual world forces associated with lateral movement still create a physical disconnect.
How did I miss what could probably be the best social VR video so far? I will build parties around such games. It's pure awesome indeed..
90-degree rotations would work, but you'll just have to do a 180 once in a while so your cord doesn't get super twisted. The floating particles apparently guide you on the best way to rotate.

ya everyone one of their Vive demo videos is a hoot, its that Buddys having fun vibe that makes it infectious , but tested and others all seem to have the same level of fun too so its not just the crew..but they really demonstrate how much fun these games can be in a group situation.
I had this exact idea as well. All they have to do is remake condemned in VR

Ah thanks it says May. Worried I don't have the space for room scale
Remember, the HTC Vive also does all the seated VR experiences too.
The minimum space you need is roughly 1.5m x 2m for room scale.
Yeah that is true. I would have to lug my PC down to my living room and I don't know if I want to do that. These videos are making me have second thoughts though about the Rift!

I don't think Vive works with Vita anyhow.

Not necessarily accurate. From Reddit,
TLDR, The person who made that gif is not using the same strict scientific method that the person who originally made the FOV measurements did.

Ok, since things are a bit slow atm, I thought I'd share that with you, Gaf.
My first contact with VR, London, 1993 if memory serves me right. Had been facinated by VR for many years, was collecting newspaper articles about it. It was only thanks to a school trip that I ended-up finaly trying it.
That game I'm playing on the picture was a 4 players, robots with jetbacks fighting in an arena type of thing. Also tried a seated mech fighting game. The teenage me was very impressed, despite the, even for back-then standards, shitty graphics. 20+ years later, my main memory is how small the headset's lenses were (smaller than a cap of beer really).

Haha. "The experience of a lifetime". What did VR feel like back then? Did you actually feel any presence? Wish I had the opportunity to try them out back in the day
Vive looks amazing, I've been thinking about getting a rift because of the lower entry price but the whole included lighthouse system seems too good, it's those kind of experiencies I'm looking forward to, I wouldn't be able to wait for Touch and I have doubts about it working so flawlessly
what attitude? They are going through a launch, snags are bound to happen. Even with PSVR, something will pop off.

Dactyl Nightmare was my first experience with VR too. I played it at some bar at the Mall of America. It was awesome.

Well, memories really have washed out. But gameplay-wise, I thought that game (from the picture) was a bit of a mess, had a much better experience with the other, seated one (a mech game, with a wheel and pedals where your head was acting as a turret). In the end, guess the main satisfaction came from finaly trying it rather than the experience itself (quick play in an arcade).
EDIT: cabinet for the mech game was that one I believe
Sadly ,that's not the game I'm playing on that pic. I knew about Dactyl nightmare from press cuts, but all I got was a rather crappy flying robots arena fighter.
Bummer. There's a sign for Dactyl Nightmare right behind you!

Hah, that looks like the thing I strapped into as a kid at the state fair once around the same timeframe. Can't say I remember anything about the actual experience other than it impressed my child self. Certainly more so than the seated "VR" experience that popped up years later at the fair which was nothing more than a non-interactive screen strapped to your face.

hm, Im reading that the gear shifter add on for the G29 is crap so I'm back to square one. I might actually just go the T150 route and get the shifter and pro pedals.
Why does getting the most outta VR gotta be so expensive

I know, right? I don't even know how the game I played was called >_<
Maybe you could help us kill time and give Gaf the younger you's impressions

Just wondering why they added extra sensors on the headset (edit: I see it's on their shoes and on the kitty dumy also, so for relative position of all these things to eachother?)

Did you miss out on the glut of pre-vive roller coaster demo videos? Turns out the general public can hardly handle the feedback when they're sitting down.

Well it will need your feet to be tracked for balance on the wood padding, hence it rather own tracking system. It seem for arcade designed anyway.

Just measured the space in my office for Vive and it runs ~2m x ~2m if I shift a chair around.
I do have some shelving right on the border of that space. A little concerned about punching or pushing a virtual something while at the edge of the play area and knocking over, say, the Star Wars figures precariously perched on said shelves. Guessing I'll have some lessons with setting up the safe area vs. play area and/or look for a larger, less cluttered space.

Hm. So do I buy Ethan Carter on Steam, assuming they'll provide an Oculus Store code for free when they can?
So am I going to have to re buy this for the THIRD time for Vive Support?
Already own both the standard and Redux versions.
You can't buy the VR version on steam yet. They plan to release VR version as $10 DLC this week ("hopefully") on top of the base game ($19.99). Or you can get it for $29.99 on Oculus Store right now. Don't think they've said anything about Oculus store keys for steam purchases.
You just need to get the $10 DLC, when it's out. And why did you buy the redux version if you already had the standard? I got that for free!
