Miyamoto checks out the oculus rift

Holy shit lmao.
Fuck.... That is embarrassing. I guess if anything highlight what Miyamoto is really like, that was it. I guess he is definitely a traditional, and "quite" typical, a strict Japanese boss. Definitely, if you are Japanese, don't slack nor forget the minor details if ever you work for him for he will blatantly let you know about them.
Can you imagine how they would have behaved when they heard he wanted to try it?
"Jesus fucking Christ! Put this demo on!"
"No no fucking no, put this demo on!"

I'm sure Myamoto enforces a strict worth ethic on his employees, but I don;t think that would necessarily make him an asshole.
Lol! I can easily imagine that if Miyamoto visited them for the first time.

He can't be that nice... I'm sure he's like Ma' from Futurama.
No, it definitely doesn't. As I said, he is like a typical strict Japanese boss and if you are Japanese, it is likely he will be more strict on you compared to a westerner.
Good that you understand that Sony and Nintendo (and the latest to join them, Oculus) are actually moving into the same direction. And as it turns out, motion controls are an important part of VR, a stepping stone so to speak.
Read these impressions of Morpheus and OR:
www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=835814
The "bad-looking robot" game provides better immersion because it contains both the visual and the tactile aspects. Something the tech by Oculus is lacking.
Who knew, the pricey Wii U was actually Nintendo's attempt to keep the move towards VR affordable.
You honestly don't think they've been toying with this tech for years already? They're not that insular.
I wouldn't count on it
Nintendo too cheap to buy anything...let alone Oculus.

I don't think that's how that works

I can assure you the Gamepad isn't in the same universe as the OR.
They're comparable, although each is lacking an important aspect of immersion. With the gamepad you see the world through a window, like with previous TVs. With the OR you see something that you aren't actually doing. Both are obstacles to full immersion.
The Wii U is also much less expensive than a PC and OR. Price always has held back this kind of tech, OR and Morpheus seem to be able to finally make the jump. But only consoles already have the controls for VR in place.
I'm also sure the follow up to Wii U will be the N64 to Morpheus' PS1.
It would have been nice to learn what he thought of it. It's always interesting seeing how the competition evaluates each other in a more personal way.
"Bow now or I will slap you so hard!"
i bet he's a strict guy.

Ha ha, Bill is very well trained.
He will probably say it's behind the curve. Even the Virtualboy was stereoscopic 3D and that was nearly 20 years ago.

Pure animal instinct.
Still the best Miyamoto demo reaction
Looks like Miyamoto and the other dude are having some sort of telepathic communication here.
"Is he really..." "Yeah.."
Look at this happy motherfucker
It is really hard not to like the man.

I think that's just the Japanese culture.

Most probably the reason why his "Too Reasonable" tag got removed.
I mean why would you give it back.
If you're interested in VR, I suggest taking the time to look up what's involved in the process and how it works. The Wii U certainly doesn't have the hardware to properly support VR. Hell, I don't know what Sony expects to pull off with the Morpheus, quite honestly. (though I am excited that they're trying, and so long as the companies take it seriously, the more the merrier)
and having a boss like Hiroshi Yamauchi for 30 years.
Yeah seriously, if you thought Steve Jobs was strict. This guy instilled respect from EVERYONE when he walked in the room. And I mean the fearful kind of respect.
Slightly off-topic, but from what I've heard Steve Jobs wasn't that strict at Pixar at all, he just let everyone get on with it and trusted their judgement. Whereas at Apple he was (started to apparently mellow out a tad though).
I know. I live in Japan, after all. Of course, you don't need to be in or from Japan to know that.　However, it really does depend on how the person was trained, i,e. who was Miyamoto's boss. All of those are factors but let's not get too deep in this.
The guy doesnt look his age at all. He is 61 and looks like in his 40s...
Hope he has some more years of games in his body before he retires
Hopefully Sakurai can become the "new" Miyamoto
At least I guess we can agree that Sakurai must have the same anti-age stuff inside of him as well because he's still looking very young!

Steel Battalion (or any other mecha game) with Oculus (head trackings) + Steel Battalion controler = drool
Winner! That game or THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWnNtUCngXw
After playing the Oculus mech demo at last year's gamescom, without a doubt, Mech games will rule on those devices.
i bet he's a strict guy.
Nah. In that situation he needed to bow to greet. That's just the Japanese etiquette. But he was super nervous, they even said that during the livestream, so he forgot. Miyamoto just reminded him. But who knows, maybe backstage Miyamoto whipped out his belt or something...
Still the best Miyamoto demo reaction
I'm still one of the few who notices bonus Tiger Woods in this photo.
i bet he's a strict guy.
ROFL
Miyamoto's constant wide open smile can be terrifying at times
Haha, that's great. What were they demoing?
i bet he's a strict guy.
Project Guard. The game with the camera's.
That was Shigesato Itoi for his first draft of MOTHER. He's not exactly a developer, but a famous person on his own right.

Codename STEAM might just be a perfect VR concept. Perspective plays such an important role in it.

Bodes well for Metroid Prime U.
I've heard the exact opposite. He shut down ideas he perceived as bad quick and hard. I have nothing but respect for the man though. He was really good at picking ideas that would make good consumer products. Come to think of it, that's the mark of any good business leader, so it doesn't come as a surprise to me that Miyamoto exhibits some of those traits as well.
That's some fine trolling there, chum.
Unless you're actually Shiggy himself, then it's excellent trolling.
Also please make Pilotwings VR.

Yes, this seems to be the case.
