Yes. Good. Skip over the UK. Thats fine. Thats fucking fine. HRAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH.

Spoiler

Not sure I believe Vive is coming out this year anymore.

I'd expect it at EGX. With a queue so long you miss all the talks.

 

[Nzyme32]

I guess the Portal thing is important to them

"World Tour"

"No Canada locations"

God damn it.

They specifically say it is what they have "currently" and then state:

"Please note that tour dates and locations are subject to change, so we will provide updated information in this post throughout the length of the tour."

 

[Helznicht]

◾July 25-28, specific location TBD, Kansas City, KS, USA

Ahh Yeah!!! But 2 weeks away and no location set?

 

[Sky Chief]

Why would you live there?

East coast is the least coast

 

[Train of Midnight]

Please come to Michigan :C

I'm going to be at The International this year, so I'm excited to get to see the Vive too!

Jelllyyyyyyyy

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

I mean having Kansas City, but the East Coast doesn't exist apparently. lol

Yeah I realized that's what you meant after I posted, hence the derp. Like someone else said they'll surely add more dates, tour as it is now is too bare bones to get the on the street word out there on a big enough scale.

so yeah, only Lousville requires tickets. Otherwise they'd noted it for the other events.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I guess I'll check it out at PAX.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Not coming to LA it's only 2 hours from San Diego

Just drive to SD? It's a lovely city

 

[ratcliffja]

Just drive to SD? It's a lovely city

It's a little late now I think.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Just drive to SD? It's a lovely city

I know it is. Been there many times. If I had known ahead of time I would have gone

 

[ashecitism]

They posted a FAQ: http://blog.htc.com/2015/07/htc-vive-world-tour-faqs/

 

[ashecitism]

Didn't notice at first, but seems the Kansas City event got cancelled and they're doing Chicago twice.

 

[BlazinAm]

Damn I'm going to Pax but I was hoping to see it at NY Comic-Con.

 

[Maximo]

Its a small world afterall...

 

[Shizuka]

Three countries doesn't make it a world tour just because you name so.

 

[Vlaphor]

Can they be a bit more specific of the Kansas City places/times? Would love to go. Only VR experience I've had so far is a quick cell phone demo at a Best Buy and I still found that amazing.

NM, just saw that the KC event was cancelled...

 

[Alec]

Someone give me an invite to Louisville

You just need a ticket to Forecastle, I asked on Twitter.

 

[hwy_61]

See gaf at the Chicago event!

I wish. I work those days

 

[theeraser]

Looking forward to the Chicago stop!

How early are you guys gonna get there? I think it starts at 10, and I was gonna try to be in the area for 9:30... Hopefully that's early enough. Not sure how much of a crowd this event is gonna attract.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Holy shit, Porltand!? Definitely be going. August is going to kick ass, Flugtag, then this.

 

[Mushroomer25]

At most stops, the truck is in operation for 10 hours each day. We can run 6 demos in an hour (3 demo bays x 2 half-hour slots in an hour = 6 demos per hour). With a little wiggle room, we can complete about 60 demos in a full day. Of course, depending on how the day goes, that number can decrease or increase slightly.

Man, only 60 demos a day? Feels like they're a tad under equipped for this sort of thing.

 

[ChopstickNinja]

Man, only 60 demos a day? Feels like they're a tad under equipped for this sort of thing.

I was at Comic-con and did the demo there. On the first day they took appointments for a 30 minute demo. By the second day they just had people line-up and shortened it to a 10-15 minute demo.

There were a lot of unhappy people in the long lines - so maybe they are just taking their lessons learned and saying up front what to expect.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I somehow missed this thread.

I totally would have gone to the San Diego showing.

See gaf at the Chicago event!

It's good to live in Chicago this upcoming week, i am headed to Navy Pier on Thursday myself. And Theeraser, i plan getting there 2 hours early if it starts at 10. I can't go till the last day so i want to make sure i get a spot. And if i can, if it is slow i will try to go again!!

Woah, i just noticed that HTC is basically keeping the Vive tour in the Chicago area for nearly a week, what is up with that? I guess Chicago is important to HTC lol. It will move to North Shore Beach for the 25 and 26th after Navy Pier, how odd.

Ah so by world they mean US and EU :-\

I'm just salty it's not coming to my country or even a country near me. I'll be waiting for your impressions gaf

 

[Circinus]

That's very poor for a 'world tour'. :l

 

[UrbanRats]

EU barely qualifies in the first place.

That hipster colour filter.

Anyway. Very positive impressions. I can't wait to try it.

 

[Lyriell]

World tour you say...

Australia is a damn continent and it's not on the list.

Skipping PAXAUS then, eh?

 

[luffeN]

Oh nice, I will be at Gamescom! Hopefully Morpheus too.

 

[Usobuko]

World Tour as in World Championship for American centric sports.

 

[bobbytkc]

The world according to americans it seems.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

EGX will almost assuredly have some VR experiences. Just maybe not Vive.

I'll see if I can take the time off to check that out.

 

[Keyser Soze]

This s a World Series version of a World Tour

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Didn't notice at first, but seems the Kansas City event got cancelled and they're doing Chicago twice.

Yep! That's super disappointing. I was planning on the trip since the 10th, but it seems they couldn't nail down a location.

 

[ashecitism]

you can now register to get chance at Gamescom: http://www.htcworld.de/en/vive

Jelllllyyyyyyyyy

See if you can get a pic inside

 

[DouglasteR]

Come to Brazil, plox !

But seriously, i´ll buy it day 0 anyway.

 

[Kaako]

Damnit HTC, please bring this shit to VA/DC so I can try for myself.

 

[schlongdog]

"World Tour"

 

[Scuba Steve]

I'm in line to see the Vive in Chicago right now!

How were the lines? I'm going tomorrow and any tips would be great

 

[TalonJH]

Son of a B, I missed the Louisville date. I'm sure I could of got a Invite if I knew.

 

[PolishQ]

How were the lines? I'm going tomorrow and any tips would be great

Well, I'm still in line. There are probably only a dozen people in line, but they can only do three demos at a time and each demo is about 30 minutes long. If you get here right at 10am, you'll probably have a shorter wait, but otherwise plan to wait 2-3 hours.

 

[ss_lemonade]

I can only imagine the lines at PAX for this. Oculus was tough to get try out there, you had to have either good timing or patience to wait a long time in line

It might have a registration similar to how Gamescom has: http://www.htcworld.de/en/vive
