Support NeoGAF

[KissVibes]

From GDC event.

I guarantee almost all those engines will support Rift too.

I just want a great 3D HMD. So I hope we can turn off all the motion crap. I can sit in my lazyboy and have a standard controller and play in 3D.

 

[-Deimos]

Now all they need is a nav controller with a light bulb and we can have proper VR games.

 

[Atomski]

So far two - Unreal and Unity - but their official SDK open source then can integration with many game engine by coding.

Well Crytek supports it as well.. lot of those other engines Ive never even heard of though, besides Havok..

 

[StuBurns]

That looked ridiculously stupid. VR is going to flop harder than Move.

Move didn't flop. Also, that's absurd. It's like judging PS3's success on the ducks tech demo.

15M is flopping?

I think it looks less stupid when seated and holding a traditional controller.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

He was really just testing it..

The Move motion games are one thing, sitting on a couch with a controller will be another...hopefully

Exactly. Get me 60fps, low latency movement in a 3d space with stereo sound and people WILL try it.

Apart from that, this dorkiness will skymurder VR once again.

Nailed it. The best way to properly judge a virtual reality system is by watching a YouTube video of someone else doing it.

 

[Konosuke]

Very interesting how he immediately starts to test low persistence by doing tonnes of quick motions. Haters fail to understand what is he doing. And of course he's barely going to show any reaction, just like Miyamoto when he tests games at E3.

Of course, there will be unofficial (plug-in/mods) or official (come later) integration missing engine for both VR.

VR won't fail.. at least not Oculus Rift as it is already finding many commercial uses and such. It may have a slow start but in the long run and as things advance even more VR will without a double be huge.

If anything I think VR locked to a closed console platform will have the hardest uphill battle. There is just soooo much you can do with OR due to it being on a open platform and being open itself. Hell I was hearing how this quad copter drone is looking to support it.. that just sounds awesome. On consoles though it just sounds like it will be so limited as it will be game only focus.

The point is not for others to see you as you are, but for you to better represent your virtual character and to better experience the virtual world.

It may look dumb from the outside, but seeing someone else's avatar in VR wave back at you is pretty trippy. It feels entirely different from watching a canned wave animation on a screen.

Sony has said it won't just be used for games.

 

[Dragonborn]

Isn't Sony's R&D working on a project with NASA?

 

[StuBurns]

The PS4 is for games, of course it'll focus on that.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

We're all going to look ridiculous in a couple years. Suddenly the fact that VR is a solo experience seems like a good thing.

 

[iceatcs]

Isn't Sony's R&D working on a project with NASA?

Yeah commercial use. To experience on Mars Exploration Rover Mission. Maybe some mini games - Robot arms and driving?.

Just Like Oculus Rift. With Ben & Jerry's or Game of Thrones commercial experience.

From GDC event.

Heh. You realize that most of this stuff is middleware that's routinely integrated into pretty much every major engine and game out there, right?

Yep, what's about it?

 

[Atomski]

Sure, but its still closed platform which will limit the uses.

Unless of course Sony is smart and doesn't limit it to just their consoles, but I have real doubts about that.

Well, just pointing out that your comment about "game engine integrations" is a generally nonsensical statement.

 

[iceatcs]

Oh ok, relax and no problem.

The middleware list mean the integration (VR, PS Camera & Move and 3D audio) came with it. If it wasn't come with it or your engine, then you could add it yourself (not easy method but doable).

You seem really clued in. Do you have any stock tips you can share?

You say smart, I think it'd be absurd to launch on PC.

And given PlayStations moves of recent years, it's safe to say they're much smarter than either of us.

 

[Mermandala]

The headset kinda makes you look like the playroom robot dudes.

 

[McSpidey]

I saw a lot of attempts at synchronous hand/head movements (if done properly should result in no visible lag between the two). I wonder if this is a specific problem case they're comparing?

How's the screen door effect compared to the rift?
