I'll never get what people see in FEAR, the environmental destruction was cool but I thought that every single gun felt like total poo poo.

Most of them were really inaccurate and had crazy recoil.

Nevermind the level design was just endless office spaces, industrial basements, and what I think were sewers?

At one point in the game an invisible solder appeared, drop kicked me, then jumped clear up into the ceiling ventilation and ran away.

I guess that's dumb AI or something but it was one of the most simultaneously hilarious and sudden things I've ever remembered in gaming, and I loved the immense pressure that the enemies in that game put on you if you tried to hide in cover.

No. If you were clever maybe you could hack it to let you, but the thing is... VR is not really about VR. Like, the VR part of VR is cool and important, but what lots of people who aren't into VR don't seem to realize is what's really impressive about VR games is that they've finally pushed motion tracking to the level where everybody wanted it to be, and that's AWESOME for gameplay.

So the real problem is you can't play Doom VFR without motion-tracking controllers. If you have those, you probably have a HMD too.

The thing is you don't aim the gun by moving a mouse, you actually wave your arms around. You can fire under your legs, or behind your back. You can shoot straight or you can angle the gun gangster style, and none of that has to be programmed by the developers, its just emergent gameplay from the ability to freely control objects in 3D space by manipulating things in real life in 3D space. It feels fantastic.

All those things they advertised you'd be able to do on Wii, which didn't work right and ended up being lame? In VR, they actually work. You can fire guns with perfect accuracy using point-and-shoot, and you can swing lightsabers around.

Its just gonna take awhile for more games to come out for VR and for the hardware to get cheaper for it to really take off.

This is fine, but I don't want the physical limitations of 1:1 accuracy. That all sounded cool as a kid but once we got anywhere near that I realized I wanted 1:1 mental response, not physical, and mental feedback.

VR lacks force feedback so it feels too airy to me, and feedback is going to be a whole additional equipment and expense hurdle.

It's definitely come a long way and it's way more viable now, and it's great that developers are playing with it and that a market for VR experiences is emerging for people who dig it.

I mean, you can do both independently. Comparing a mouse shooter to a 1:1 VR shooter is like comparing an RTS with a racing game. They're just... fundamentally different experiences, even if they ape the same theme and setting.

I love that you can actually kneel down in VR behind cover and blind fire your gun above your head without just pushing some button that does it automatically for you. You can feel out how high the cover is and just barely pop your gun over it, its just a totally different experience and level of control.

And there's not really any way to practically give people that level of control on mouse & keyboard, it'd require a million keybinds and you'd have to be a savant to control it all in real time.

Which is why I think its cool there's both Doom 2016 and Doom VFR, two totally different games that deliver wholly different experiences, even though they even use the same assets.

Reminds me of the Police 911 Arcade Games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_911

From my understanding, Avalanche has two major teams: their New York team, which made Just Cause 3 and their Stockholm team, which created Mad Max.

Rage 2 is developed by their Stockholm team (the Magnus guy on stage at E3/QuakeCon was the Director of Just Cause 2).

Bethesda was founded in 1986, formed under Zenimax in 2001 under Robert Altman, and Robert Trump first shows up as a BoD in 2007, I believe.

This isn't true. Doom MP was developed by Certain Affinity. BGS Austin was previously Battlecry Studios.

Before Hugo's Statement XP Boosts were mentioned all over the internet as being available to help progress through the game quicker. What else would these boosters be needed for?

If this wasn't Bethesda I wouldn't think it would be nefarious. FYI.

I'm going to rent it from Gamefly but we will see soon enough what the ambigious term "Boosters" mean in short order.

All over the internet here is just folks seeing the word Boosters in the Giant Bomb video and calling it XP Boosts. No one has seen XP Boosts, a store, or anything like MTX.

From a Reddit post referencing the Facebook group I'm not in so I can't confirm:

"On Facebook yesterday Hugo explained what boosters are. Boosters allow you to "sponsor" up to four other players and passively gain XP based on how well they do. The better the players you sponsor, the more XP you get. It's something new that hasn't been done in a game before"

* The Witcher 2, Witcher 3, and Street Fighter V** are exceptions

If you're interested in playing Master Levels, to my knowledge the only way to receive one of them at launch is to get it from the "Rip and Tear" pre order bonus (that gives you the Doot skin and Doom 64).

It says 1050ti and 1060 now instead of 970, I thought those are higher end than 970. Newer at least. (edit: ah, I didn't know that 970 is faster, just looked it up.)

A 970 is more powerful than 1050 ti.

I'd say substantially, but that's up to your definition of the word. It's about 40% more powerful.

Spiderdrake posted:

The requirements for PC games with the proper settings support id is offering are harder to quantify, but I think listing a slower card instead of the 970 would imply lower requirements?

I could also be wrong, but I didn't think most games listed their minimum spec as 60 fps/1080p. Usually I expect minimum to be 30 fps/720 or the like but I haven't researched min specs for new releases in a while.

What's the memory on a 960?

Min reqs (1080p/60fps/low settings) list a 1050 ti which is about equivalent to a 960.

But the game on PC also supports dynamic resolution scaling, so if it gets a little tight you can lock the game to 60 fps still.

Just increase your FOV a little. Run speed is same speed, pre-dash as 2016 and enemies move faster.

Ironically, I always save the marauders for last since I found that moving full speed around the arena lets you outpace them just barely enough to keep them from attacking. Also trying to get close and bait them into doing their counterable attack tended to open me up to getting hit by everything else on the map.

This is generally my approach too. I'll fire off some rockets or grenades in their direction but a running Marauder is a disabled Marauder
