Lmfao! You got a much better chance of breaking the OR than a TV!

This announcement was a Megaton alright!

Stream your Xbox 1 games to a pretty decent spec PC to then stream to the OR so you can play in a virtual room in your actual room. Lmfao!

Megaton right there!

This is so ridiculous and stupid! So to make this cinema bullshit thing working you need a PC capable of running Oculus in a decent way (let's say 1000 euro), an Oculus (not less than 300-350 euro) and an Xbox One (350 euro). Total: 1650-1700 euro.
And on top of that a good internet connection to stream.

Oh yes, I can definitely see a lot of people that can afford this stuff, a truly selling point for Xbox One!
I swear, this is 2013 Xbox One reveal level of stupidity.

I think it's a pretty big deal.

However, the Xbox demo was not what I was expecting. It projects it like you are playing on a big screen - not like you are playing through the eyes of the character. At least not in anything they have shown, yet.

Come on sales2099, i thought you will be better then the rest of us seing you are the ex Microsot presiden in this forum. or maybe you must be jocking right

From another thread on the matter but felt it needed posting here too:

that last gif was pretty cool... is there a long version video on the morpheus with that studio japan demo?

thanks for those links :)

i didn't like the deep as much, seemed much more limited than the others. one thing I could take from this is I don't want standard controlers in VR. picking up the gun and the ammo clips with the move seemed way more fun than pressing a button on a normal controler to reload.

i'm sure the first great vr games will be 'cockpit' experiences, be that on a spaceship, airplane, car or whatever... but as soon as body movement is solved... then there's no more stopping vr

so damn pumped to see what sony will bring... 99% sure no man's sky will be the first big vr title :D

I actually prefer if they would stick to normal controllers.... unless theres a very good reason not too.

of course there's a good reason not to. it's much more immersive when your hand movement translates to the character's screen movement. we're talking about 1st person vr experience of course. for example if you're swinging a sword in front of your face, you'll want the object to react to your real movement. 

the disconnect comes from people assuming VR will be the same experience we already have, just with a screen strapped to the face. of course if i'm playing a character on the screen the standard controller would be the best way to connect to that experience. but if your brain is tricked into thinking that's not a character, but actually it's really you inside that game there's a complete change in how you perceive the same experience.

I'm glad sony are aware of this and looking into ways of improving our input methods. oculus did the same with oculus touch at the end of their presentation
