Heath posted:I was in K-Mart once (lol) and a young couple came up to me and asked me what I recommended for their kids since I looked like I "knew video games" and I said Smash Bros because they'll play that game for years and it would be the same price as the 3 $20 shovelware pieces of poo poo in their hands. It took some convincing but they ended up going with it so I hope the kids had fun with it i didnt own a wii until years later so when they would ask me what games to get i'd just say mario

Boneworks was such a godly VR experience. Great music too. Shame the sequel was a huge letdown...

my vengeance upon the seagull was swift. He and his kin would not have my hot dog now or ever. End simulation. Thank you for playing Boardwalk Simulator!

i think what happened is most goons got on board when vr was absolute dogshit and it was being promoted by this guy but thankfully zuckerberg fixed the problem now all you need is a $200 quest 2 and a non kowloon amount of space

Walk around historical landmarks or like fly through the amazon or something. I remember doing something like that on a field trip but it was a massive screen with moving seats etc

There was some full immersion gimmick VR place where you'd basically go through a giant gym sized room that's set up like a maze to guide you a long and it'd have puzzles and props and stuff that are like a stick but in VR looks like a torch etc. with vents and fans to simulate like walking near magma or w/e but covid completely destroyed all the locations I'm pretty sure lol. Cool use of VR imo though.

That was basically how it was in Neuromancer except that poo poo was plugging directly into your brain so it didn't make your semicircular canals implode

Frank Frank posted:VR sickness is a real thing and it disproportionally affects old people lol: its called getting your sea legs. i wouldnt invite anyone to play alyx with full movement if it's their first VR title even though it has good accessibility options. that game is absolutely meant to be experienced unrestricted, and that doesnt even mean shelling out for $1000 equipment, a quest will play alyx fine. something interesting about alyx specifically is it addresses a unique question to VR in regards to: how can player get thing they see quick? blade & sorcery gives you telekinesis, i dont remember what boneworks did but it sucked. anyway alyx solves it with a wrist strapped device you waggle like a whip, invisibly lashing bullets across the room, health, chair, etc. like the way i try to sell alyx on VR skeptics is that it seeks to make the act of shaking down a room itself fun. like the experience wouldnt make any drat sense in 2d because it'd just be hl2 gordon smashing a couple boxes and bouncing out. and no waggle. alyx is about scroungin like a survival horror, upturning boxes and shoving bodies to reveal desperately needed shotgun shells. id like to know what anyone used to VR who played alyx and didnt like it thinks if they lurk

a Myst-like game feels like a great use of VR and instead Cyan Worlds made a VR game where you push a minecart around with a laser attached to do light puzzles

My company owns the booth that was built for the Occulus announcement at whatever trade show it was. It’s used for in-house tech demos and experiments with our products. It is incredibly creaky and scary to stand on the second floor because it’s poorly made but I like to think it’s probably because Palmer Luckey stomped around in it when he couldn’t eat more tendies.

I remember playing the steam release of half-minute hero and seeing that there was a vr mode for it; since it was a 2d game and this was released years before the most recent VR interest spike I got curious and looked up pictures of it in action.
