Lmao

Holy crap lmao

 

[Trago]

First person lightsabers please!

 

[WadeitOut]

So basically $499 with the move peripherals. Too much when it's being pushed by sub par hardware and with no good software. Will probably play the wait and see game.

 

[DjRalford]

I paid $1 for a brand new PS camera at sears years ago lol, so all i need are the controllers


Battlefront VR D: SHIT , the commercial is real

a PS4 camera? Or a PS3 one?

 

[Sidewinder]

Porn is in from the start? That changes everything, I'm in!!1

 

[Boke1879]

OH LAWD BATTLEFRONT VR!

$400 is a good price but not enough for me to go all in. BUT BATTLEFRONT VR!!!!. Gotta see what that's about but that's tempting.

 

[Slackerish]

Day One.

Oh, Battlefront VR! Can't wait for this.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Ugh I want a PS4/PSVR now. Gotta hold out for that bundle potential.

 

[Pancake Mix]

The Last Guardian reconfirmed for 2016

Thanks Mr. Andrew House.

 

[friskykillface]

For a PS4 Camera? You bought a PS4 Camera for a $1?

lmao thought it was the PS3 camera bummer, that was the $1 I paid for

shouldn't have gave away my $15 PS4 camera to a friend then , fuck

 

[EvB]

I paid $1 for a brand new PS camera at sears years ago lol, so all i need are the controllers


Battlefront VR D: SHIT , the commercial is real

PS Eye isn't compatible with PS4 is it?

Don't you need the PS4 camera?

 

[shira]

lol, HTC and Oculus have much much better hardware

5-6 month head start

 

[DangerMouse]

Still talking about Horizon (and TLG) as this year. Nice.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

If this event has them announcing the price I'm going to go with $499. I know it seems about $100 too high, but so far these VR headsets haven't been cheap. I think people have continually expected them to be cheaper than what's economically feasible right now. I'd say I'm about 60% confident in that being the price, the other 40% going to a price of $399. I believe a price of $399 would have better greater market appeal, though still be a little too high for wide spread adoption.

My prediction from earlier in the thread. If I had put the caveat of my prices being in Canadian I would have been 100% spot on!

 

[big fake]

The Last Guardian was spoken about, interesting, not all hope is lost.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Wow star wars battlefront psvr exclusive

This is huge.

Lmao

how the fuck is he always so on point... He must work at Sony and know about the announcements...

 

[Ultryx]

I doubt they have Battlefront built from the ground up to support a full VR experience. I'm willing to bet it's a small addition that will be placed into the game, similar to a mini-game.

 

[DiracSea]

LOL,

Spoiler

idiot

Ad hominem attacks now? Classy.

And I agree. This was Sony's chance to become the face of VR.

Sure, they'll beat OR and Vive. But VR isn't an established market. OR and Vive are not the ones to beat. It's the general public, the mainstream. At 399 (for the base model) a widespread success is already impossible.

This is very disappointing. I might still get it, when launch crawls closer, but it'll be nothing more than an enthuasiast niche device.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Wait, TLG confirmed for 2016!

 

[PodcastFips]

That's it? Lol, best press conference ever!

 

[FHIZ]

Amazon, please

 

[AmyS]

The Last Guardian reconfirmed for 2016

YAY. best news so far.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

Battlefront VR?!?!?!?!!?

SOLD!!!

ALL IN!!!!

 

[CarbonFire]

Star Wars Battlefront VR "Experience".

Guys, you shouldn't be expecting normal FPS games in VR, it doesn't work. At least not well enough to be sold to the masses without major nausea issues.

That account is the best thing on the Internet.

Star Wars Battlefront EXPERIENCE

Don't get too excited lol. Though I'm sure it will be awesome.

 

[TurboButts]

I spy Polytron logo. Fez 2 on PSV when?

 

[Ellite25]

I'm gonna need to know more about this Battlefront game before I get excited. probably will be some lame on rails thing.

 

[Doc Holliday]

PSVR for me i guess, no need to buy a whole new PC. It will keep me busy until i decide to upgrade for oculus.

 

[AncientDiety]

So basically $499 with the move peripherals. Too much when it's being pushed by sub par hardware and with no good software. Will probably play the wait and see game.

No good software? You know this how? Impressions of PSVR have been impressive.

 

[mikefrails]

I'll get it for the sake of finally being able to own VR, but I don't think 400 bucks is what's going to win over the mainstream.

 

[farisr]

last guardian and horizon reconfirmed for 2016.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

That's how you do a press conference.

No fluff.

 

[ShaoranWright]

LOL, it's over.

15 minutes was all they needed to build the hype.

 

[EVIL]

Who cares if no one can buy it

10.000 preorders in the first 15 minutes for the Vive .. is hardly no one Also looking at adaption rate polls, oculus is selling 1.5 to twice as much.

 

[BigTnaples]

Battlefront VR.


Could be really awesome. I wonder if it will be space battles? Rendered in Frostbite that would be amazing, and it already runs well.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Was No Man's Sky in the montage?

I lost the feed while it was playing.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I feel like if you think $399 is too expensive for this type of tech maybe VR just isn't for you.


not everyone feels like they should shell out $$ for a 4K TV either...

 

[Kyolux]

I'm hoping CAD value goes back up by that time, so maybe we might get something like 450 instead 500.

Also, possibly NX, Zelda, FFXV and some more around same time. :/

 

[muzzymate]

where is the live feed?

It's over now.

 

[cebri.one]

399 standalone

My guess

499 psvr + camera + 2 move

799 psvr + ps4

 

[-Horizon-]

Where is summer lesson?!

 

[akidnamededdy]

$399 will be attractive for enthusiasts, but it's too high to be successful at large IMO.

Feeling like this too. And this is $399 without the totally necessary camera? Ugh.

 

[kennyamr]

where is the live feed?

https://www.periscope.tv/w/1BRJjaXVRDVGw

It just ended, you can replay it. it's only 13 mins long.

 

[LuuKyK]

Nice Horizon artwork there.

 

[tuxfool]

My prediction from earlier in the thread. If I had put the caveat of my prices being in Canadian I would have been 100% spot on!

You were only 50 USD off though.

 

[friskykillface]

blah , thought it was the PS3 camera, egg on my face
Now I regret giving away my PS4 camera


Battlefront VR is the killer app B^) I can be Luke the god
