Wow. Sounds painful. Make-up/mascara reaction to an enclosed space?

The game I want to hear experiences about is Trackmania Turbo. I'm a big fan of the series but the games features pretty much everything that developers have been warning about not featuring in VR, so it would be interesting to hear some impressions.
What the fuck? This has never happened to me in DK2? Maybe something in her makeup? I do notice that if I put on the DK2 after showering that the lenses do fog up though.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the wipes they used to clean the headsets.
If you like head lice, sure.

it's good, from what I read around, Morpheus is the most comfortable headset around.
That's good. It's ultimately very glasses friendly and easier to use as you just lift it on/off instead of 'strapping in'.
Ding. Ding. Ding. When I was standing at our booth promoting our VR product last year (on DK2) I kept maintaining the lenses with wipes and sprays (same with controllers).
Most likely she got a cleaning product on her eyes.
Has this been on here yet? A video of someone playing the Heist demo, screen and player visible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMI2Swxc1EM&feature=youtu.be
Also, a probably more interesting video with Rigs by the same channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHX7XXWaA4A

Maybe that's the problem? I have somewhat sensitive eyes when it comes to wind, air pressure and lack of moisture, etc, and my eyes will water just a little bit in certain situations like if I walk into a room that has drastically different air composition than before, or on a windy day or something.
I don't know. It's weird though and I certainly would *not* go around saying this is some issue with Morpheus.
Gotta say, for glasses wearers, I'd still highly recommend wearing contacts for VR if at all possible. I know some people wont want to do this, it will be impractical, or cost too much, or they just cant handle contacts, but wearing glasses in VR is never going to be ideal. Even if you can do it comfortably, it still means a slight reduction in FoV. For me, FoV is important enough that this is something worth trying to avoid. Not that it's a deal breaker, though.

Ok, now that looks impressive. It's basically Virtua Cop, but the interaction with how you reload and how he can look around (and out of the care) is amazing. A few games like that and an interesting non-game application (like travel or explore stuff) and it could worthwhile.
... how about a new Afrika?

Damn, I loved what I've seen from this video! My dad is gonna go crazy over this game also =D
And I really, really want an Africa sequel in VR also. That would be perfect.
Got to love the part in Battlezone when the player checks out all the hidden details in the cockpit: https://youtu.be/aYwAtfCAjwM?t=322

I don't know if he was joking, but I remember a feedback from the Vive underwater demo, where the journalist who was trying the headset asked if he was going to be eaten by a shark (and that if he did, he'd never wear that thing again), and the guy from Valve said "no, we were afraid people would die for real".
That can shaking in the gif above is impressive, by the way.
Your brain will melt.
VR isn't impressive from a graphics or image quality standpoint. Not in the conventional way, at least. What blows people away is how god damn convincing it is in terms of a sense of place. Even if you don't achieve the magical 'presence' that people talk about, it's still immersive in a way that a flat screen could never ever be. It's not just some gimmicky effect, it is well and truly a revolution in how we experience a digital world.
Haha, nah I'm sure they were joking. People aren't likely to die or else the liability concerns would basically be a deal-breaker for the technology.

And an Aquanauts Holiday while we're at it.
Indeed, the real liability concerns are for "non-seated games"... AKA 'walking around a room, blindfolded, with a cable attached to your head'.
This is impressive. For some reason, the game reminds of the Freeway chase scene in The Matrix.
I agree. And I think it is one of many major reasons why 'room space VR' wont take off anytime soon and wont be seen as a viable market for larger developers/publishers. It's just littered with limitations and liabilities.
I think the best we'll get is standing experiences that have a very small area of movement. True room space VR will probably be fairly niche.

And people doubt the size of the market for VR.
I'm convinced the vast majority of the vocal minority of doubters haven't tried it, are chronic pessimists, or simply don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Speaking of falling and stuff, I found this video of a guy playing The Heist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqo8t8ojMjc
At 5:45, he falls over in real life after trying to lean on a virtual desk. He's the second guy I've heard of that did it, but this is the first time I've seen video of it. As a bonus, at the beginning of the video is footage of him actually donning the headset, which I don't think I've seen on the new models yet. Looks pretty simple. The assistant basically just plopped it on the guy's head, twisted the knob at the back to cinch it up, and said, "How's that? Good?"
Oh, and I found this video of a guy playing The Kitchen. No footage of the game, as that's being kept spoiler-free, but it shows his reaction to the experience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfoq-zBOigM
Content Warning: He swears a lot, and loudly, so mute it if you're watching at work or something.

lol the Kitchen demo is hilarious
my vision became blurry as the headset screen was covered in condensation. The moisture from my breathing probably made this happen but Id think this was a problem that Sony would have addressed early on
It was like playing a video game in a sauna. Nonetheless, the game was still entertaining and really showcased the Morpheus potential as an entertainment device for parties and group gatherings.
But when I tried the second game, Battlezone, a reboot of the Atari classic from 1980, my eyes just lost it. I teared up uncontrollably throughout the fast-paced game and ended up just blindly shooting at any vague object that moved. Ever tried opening your eyes in a swimming pool with no googles? Thats what it felt like.
When I pulled off the Morpheus headset, the tears were still streaming down my face. Sony staff must have thought I got emotional shooting virtual tanks.
After I cleaned myself up and clarified that the tears were triggered by the Morpheus headset itself, one of the staff members said this has not happened to anybody else who had tried the demo. But that doesnt mean this problem wont happen to others who use virtual reality headsets.

could this be that the headset wasn't adjusted for her eyes/eyesight properly? Like some impressions further back.
the music in this level will remind you also
What's your favorite Morpheus game (that we know about), DemonNite?
all the 3 scenes from London Heist... its the whole VR package done right when paired with the Move controllers
That was strange, the game is very crisp we run on an higher resolution (x1.5) to preserve details.
We use a colour splitting postprocessing effects to preserve the Futuridium look, it's basically a very exaggerated colour aberration, so you can see the colours splitting in your peripheral vision. Don't know if we'll keep it for the final version.
One thing we noticed is you need to adjust the Morpheus to have perfect focus, if it's a bit off you can get a blurry vision. Sometimes it requires a bit of trying.
Thanks for trying out the game!

It's playable at the show.
OMG!!!! This looks so good. We need video of thsi.
Folllow-up question: What's your favourite Morpheus game that we don't know about?

I hope they announce Hot Shots Golf will support Morpheus. It's a no brainer too me. Golf is a slow enough pace with one avatar and the artistic style of Hot Shots golf 60fps would be easy.

Never thought about that, but that would be awesome. Especially with a Move controller.

I really hope they work with YouTube to allow VR support. Check out these videos filmed in VR (note, unless you have a VR headset, the only other way to interact with the videos is using a Google Chrome browser):

OMG that would make the PS4 sell like hot cakes in Japan. It might be accurate enough to be a real training tool also
Thanks!
Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like occlusion would be a problem in a golf-type game; as you swing, your body may get in the way of the move wand and then the camera can't track it for a certain amount of time. Unless... you were standing facing the camera (instead of swinging the move toward the camera)... then it would probably work. OK, we're good to go again!

Already Use the Move On the PS3 to play Tiger woods Golf and it works pretty good.

IIRC The glowing ball on the move is to keep it calibrated, as they tend to drift but a brief period out of the camera's sighting shouldn't be a problem.
It was mentioned earlier about aiming / steering in VR - I think Rigs using the headset for both steering and aiming (they talk about slight movements of your head changing your direction of travel) whilst battlezone uses headtracking for movement and the right stick for aiming - be interested to see which of these feels better to play.
