Still a blip by AAA standards. Sony PSVR has the biggest install base (5+ million). Half Life Alyx broke a million units.

But given that the headsets are finally getting past the screen door effect, and big budget studio games like Star Wars: Squadrons and Half Life Alyx are (coming) out, VR will probably start to move further towards being a mainstream thing.

I’m trying to resist the urge to preorder a Reverb 2. But it looks really good. Better than The Index for $400 less.

Plus I want to experience the behind the velvet rope Million Mile High Club VR nightclub experience Chris and Red Pill will cook up!!! (Time to befriend Miku so he can get me in!)

they wouldn't turn SC into anything, just use existing assess and resources to help with their new venture (or use it to secure even more funding)

I don’t assume that. That’s a big leap from where we are.

But I like two ultra shady LA fraud machines chasing hypes dreams and maybe coming into orbit with each other. That gives us all kinds of tinfoil to run with.

Example:

Jared got his first VR headset very recently.

CIG and this Red Pill VR thing getting/being involved with one another would probably have amazing potential for comedy.

Microsoft and Sony are both launching their new consoles without VR support, and both are hazy at best on any details about adding support/making new headsets in the future, which is pretty telling about the state of the market.

I'd hold off on the Reverb 2 till we see some more reviews but it does look like its a pretty big jump in quality.

I just got a Rift S and holy poo poo things have come along way. Alyx is amazing and creepy as gently caress.

It’s niche to say the least and looks set to remain that way. It’s growing slowly on the PC, but has kind of died in the console and mobile markets. Half Life Alyx was a minor hit, but there aren’t many big titles for VR to really drive interest and sales. Squadrons and some other next gen games could change things, but we’ll see.

Elite Dangerous is not going to support VR with its Odyssey update, which is a shame. When I played ED (I don't any more), I used a Rift DK2, and couldn't go back to playing it in 2D

I think VR has some cool experiences to offer but i think alot of people play games just to relax. thats why consoles are a huge hit they are played from the sofa.

When you live some where hot, and you got to put on your VR hat, fire up the Air con so you are not sweating balls, then move the coffee table in the living room and setup the room for VR it think it starts to get a bit to hard unless you a really into it.

My (27f) boyfriend (23m) tried to throw out our bed so he could play a video game

Me and my boyfriend have been living together for about a year now and for a while he's been really interested in virtual reality. Now the problem is that our tiny studio apartment isn't big enough to jump around in. He knows this, I know this, and we've had multiple conversations about how it's a shame we don't live in some huge house where we could dedicate an entire room to something like that.

I went out yesterday for a walk and a picnic yesterday and came back to my boyfriend dismantling our bed. I assumed something had broken and asked what had happened. Nothing was broken. He'd managed to order an oculus quest headset and had made the executive decision that we could swap our double bed for a Japanese futon??

There is no loving room for this. Even if we lived on the ground floor (which we don't), and I was willing to sleep on the floor (which I'm not), the room just isn't big enough. It would dominate the entire room. Am I supposed to crouch in the kitchen whilst he plays? Our entire home is being compromised for what is effectively a video game.

I honestly don't really know what to say. He thinks he's being entirely reasonable to do this without involving me. I don't even know what to say to him here since the whole thing seems so ridiculous and he's so obviously being unreasonable yet is oblivious and keeps saying I'll really enjoy vr and it'll all be worth it. I told him I was worried he'll damage the TV or my art supplies and he is convinced it won't be a problem as they have sensors for that.

I love my boyfriend and he's always been entirely reasonable and level headed until now and we always discuss everything. How do I get through to him about this? If it wasn't so difficult right now I'd be considering moving out or leaving. I told him I'd throw it out the window when it arrived unless he was going to sit down and have a serious conversation about this but he just won't take anything I say seriously.

TL;DR My boyfriend bought a vr headset and wants to remove our bed to play it in our tiny studio apartment and can't see this is unreasonable.

If Redpill x CIG really happens, its going to own.

Also virtual ticket for attending ShitCon 2020. I dipped into the sea of poo and found out that some of my real life friends have been "investing" in star citizen ships during the lockdown period. They both spent close to $10K each during that hacked together shitfest a month or 2 back.

The bartender is a test bed for all AI in game.
I can tell you more for what the devs wants to achieve with the bartender but not all those features exist yet in the actual bartender. I will try to test which one have been done.

The bartender manage real stocks (bottles in fridge for instance). Every element used is counted. If the fridge is empty he should say he can't do your beverage and launch restock order to the server (the bartender AI will do it, not a script tied to the fridge)

He had no scripted routes. He will search the fridge and go to it by himself from where he is when needed. When he takes your order, he should seek you to give it to you when done. If you have moved and took a sit 5 m away, the bartender have to detect the small door closing the bar, open it and pass the bar to give you your order. All those events not predefined. He have to recognize all its surroundings, don't collide with others NPC/PC and put the bottle in the right place where you are (the table if you have take a sit for instance). He should be able to get back the empty glass too.

When you command a multi elements beverage, he doesn't execute a full script but follow a recipe (whiskey, next ice cube, next water). The animation suite is dynamicaly launched.

A part of the animations are not in mocap or hard scripted but calculated. Ex : the movement to the fridge should be natural from 2m, 2.1m, 2.2m, 2.3m, 2.4m, etc (no moon walk). I have a good video about it from SQ42. I will post it later.

He constantly detects pnj and players in its surrounding and their localisations. For ex, if you pass behind the bar, he shouts at you to get out (seen in video).

He will be able to show emotions and analyze you. If you stink (no shower since several days), he can refuse to serve you.

He can queue orders. If 2 npc ask beers before you, you have to wait, you will be the third to be served.

The bartender and the NPCs will interact by themselve. We should see bartender getting orders from NPC.

He can be used as a mission giver or receiver and should have a good stock of sentences to say.

That's the plan. Dev have said that some of those features are already used for combat. For instance NPC will seek soon for ammo box when out of ammo (shown in video).
