If you can compare the rift to a smartphone at all, the S5 costs $256 in parts to make and sells for 3x that. The rift has two oled screens similar to the S5 which are undoubtedly the most expensive component, costing ~$150 in total. Anything below $4-500 is selling at a loss, but who knows what the actual price will be. I expect $499 myself

one thing I've wondered about the oculus rift is when they say woah you've gotta have a good computer for this do they mean to be able to play the most graphically intense games at 120fps or are developers already adjusting the lod for the oculus as part of integrating support

considering, for the price of the vr and peripherals you can get a little roadster or a vw beetle and have all the exhilaration of going really fast without actually going fast also your not playing video games, which is a plus

the whole point of the bundled controller is to get everyone using a standardized input to allow devs to target that standardized input. if you want your bespoke artisanal vr experience, you can still do that. this will ensure that everyone who gets the headset gets the appropriate controller. nerds complaining about $10, smdh

Shaggar posted:rear end creed's navigation control system was designed around the boxy environments of the first 2 games where consoles couldn't deal with object complexity. then in ac4 (and maybe ac3) they started adding more detail to the environments but forgot to disable certain things for navigation so you end up with your dude trying to run on a dock but then he randomly jumps sideways onto a decorative lobster trap and then off the dock onto random debris in the water. eh, better than just randomly jumping into the water for no real reason, but its p accurate regardless in ac3, they redid it so basically all the non-vertical freerunning was a lot more effortless and would autopath, rather than the player manually running mostly so they could accommodate the wilderness frontier areas which were a first for the series they did actually rework vertical controls to be better in unity to autopath as well, so you can just climb onto a wall, and arno will go up if you hold A, or go down if you hold B in syndicate, you get a grappling hook, which even further simplifies things Al! posted:video games have a lot of scenes where you, the biggest single-handed murderer of human beings in history, condemn the bad guy for their violent and ruthless methods far cry 4 has pagan condemn you for killing a ton of people, he's a good character

the 360/xbone controller is already the standard input layout for windows controllers so including either controller would have been fine but using the xbone makes more sense cause just cause its newer.

elite devs have stated it'll be compatible with both on release it'll be down to driver support rather than hardware improvements, the only substantial hardware difference between the vive and the rift are the motion tracking tech, and the differences are whether the sensor is on the device or around the room; it's more for future expansion and edge cases as they both work fine for you either sitting in a chair or within a 2x2 meter space the screens are identical and probably sourced similarly Bhodi fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jan 4, 2016 |

The only way to make a game that works with the Vive is to use SteamVR, and then the game will automatically work with the Oculus with no extra effort. All VR games will end up using SteamVR except the few that Facebook bribes to be Oculus exclusive.

i mean, room-scale vr is a cool idea and i hope it works. but HTC and Valve aren't the ones to bring it to market. they delayed it because of what they said was a big breakthrough in the technology so we'll see what that is. but i'm real skeptical
