Watching your heroes get torn down is a part of growing up. For some of us it was finding out that Optimus Prime existed to sell toys and that wrestling was fake and full of drug abuse, for others its finding out that the man responsible for a game that was made before you were even born has bad opinions on Twitter.

Lurdiak posted:I don't even remember that one. I do remember this though: I can't find a video that isn't buried in 20 minutes of garbage but basically in the Tubba Blubba chapter when you go to the outside of the woods and Bootler greets you he fades away then jumps back with flash + loud noise + his sprite being all blown up and it comes out of nowhere, it made me jump last time I played it. The jump scare in Bioshock Infinite totally wrecked me, too. Any game that just throws in one or two is the worst because you totally don't expect it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLm7ZAJUe5o

Looper posted:I would like to know more Went to a little VR expo sort of thing after work, Playstation VR being the real headliner. There was also a keynote I didn't bother with, but when I glanced in the auditorium the slides were standard tech-conference stuff: way of the future, market disruption, how apps can solve all of society's ills, etc. Anyway, the PSVR waiting list was too long for me to have more than one go and I played Eve Valkyrie since it was the most "gamey" game and I wanted to see if I'd get motion sick. Anyway, it was cool to experience but VR really isn't there yet imo; the visual quality was sort of bad, low-res and blurry, the FOV was really low, and of course there didn't seem to be much to the game itself, after you get past the initial rush of "wow, it's like I'm almost in a spaceships cockpit kind of, not at all. One aspect I was disappointed with is the fact that the VR doesn't seem very 3D, only a little 3D. Sure I could look around me but there was very little sense of depth; my 3DS seems more impressive in that regard. I do regret playing E:V instead of The Heist though; the fact that it uses motion controls might have made it more immersive to me since you actually have reason to spin around can knock crap around. In addition to the PSVR stuff, I also watched a couple of short "narrative VR experiences" and tried "Athlete VR" for a little bit. The former was essentially a pair of 360° videos except strapped to your head (they used GearVR) so it was like watching 1/4 of a movie because most of the film would be "offscreen" at any one time. The latter was first-person, gopro footage from a downhill skier that I had to put down because using it while standing made me a little dizzy. Probably wouldn't have had the same reaction in a chair tho. All told, I think it's telling that the longest lines at the whole event were for the free pizza.

Yeah, like I said I regret not doing the Heist. They had an infographic that for all of the demos they were showing and Eve was listed as the most intense and interactive so I kinda wanted to dive in headfirst.

I really like VR and I don't think it's going anywhere. It'll be around for a long while even if it doesn't go super mainstream. AR will replace smartphones eventually, though. Also, the best tweet from Notch today was when he said he invented indie games.

At least, at the time, people working at a college and having access to state of the art computers is the closest you're gonna get to an independent release. Healbot posted:VR will die another unceremonious death and be forgotten for two decades, again. I think VR is here to stay, but I think a lot of that has to do with non gaming applications. I know gear VR and the oculus are very, very big at medical conventions and other instances in which getting a live feed of a POV camera is important or useful.

What most people consider "indie development" currently though is just how video game development functioned prior to the 3D era, with the key difference being that people actually finished the games thy made instead of ripping people off with Early Access

Well basically, but I think an important distinction to remember is that it's not like they are acting as if the technology doesn't exist, it's that they don't have the necessary access/time/money and sometimes knowledge to use the technology.
