So basically this is a Kinect like experience but it's goggles instead of a camera over a TV. No thanks.

Yup. The Rift though; that's the truth

dude in the video seemed impressed

I'm not sold on VR anyway. I think it's the video game equivalent of 3Dtvs. There are uses for VR but not likely as a mass market product for gaming.

You see me on these forums. I buy everything new in this space. Hell I got a second Xbox One still sitting in the box that I've never played and this VR isn't even a blip on my radar. For someone that blows a lot of money on bullshyt to not even really be paying attention to this is telling.

never mind...

@Ciggavelli you check out "Chunks"?

Save 25% on Chunks on Steam

shyt looks like VR Minecraft, plus you can build, and ride, roller coasters. it's made by Facepunch (Garry's Mod, Rust) so there's definitely some potential. the best part will probably be the Workshop support, and all the crazy shyt the community will build

Yeah...I think I'mma have to pass on this. I was thinking more of the educational aspect of VR for my kids. Hopefully they create a lot of educational games and apps.

All Oculus games now work on Vive But I can't get people to leave me alone, I've done about 20 hours of demoing for friends and family since Friday. This shyt is a hit.

Does the Vive not support control pads?

Depends on the game but you can just plug in your xbox controller and play oculus games with today's patch and also some Oculus games work with the Vive touch controllers.

it does, but they're mostly pushing room-scale with their dual controllers, since that doesn't make people sick

 

[daze23]

You're about to find traditional gaming boring and limited

VR is the future, and you're about to experience it. Enjoy breh

Edit: Oh yeah, get Audioshield if you're into music at all. It's one of my favorite Vive games (I think you even suggested I get it)

It's fun in person man, but again I only had a few moments with it since I was working at PAX.
