GDC: Microsoft Has Worked on VR 'For Quite a While'

[John_Blazini]

im just not that hype for it honestly .. think it might be at least 5-7 years before its any good

I hate microsoft soooooooo much I really do , there products are just pure shit watch this VR machine end up giving people eye cancer or some shit.

I hope everybody who buys this shit gets the blue/black/red/green/yellow/pink / brown screen of death.

 

[Bazz-B]

^^^^ the hatred is real.

VR with a game like Bioshock would be the shit.

I've actually talked to someone on the inside and trust me Microsoft is going to another level with this VR shit. There are going to be plans to where you can feel and touch shit. This person also told me we have technology to fit 9 processors into a finger and were still working hard on nano technology and I was surprised to find out how soon some of this tech is actually going to be released.

They been playing with this shir for a while? Yall remember illumiroom? Kinect? Yeah all that shit is virtual reality...Microsoft selling dreams

VR with a game like Bioshock would be the shit.

The shit would be great for anything that's typically played from a first person view e.g., shooters, wRPGs (like skyrim), racing games, etc... I could even see sports games implementing this pretty well.. Imagine something like Madden but instead of that sky view, you're actually playing from the QBs perspective.

I saw a lol... What I'm saying isn't a joke technology is moving fast, read a book like Michio Kakus physics of the future. I've been told quite a bit about things you might see coming from Microsoft.

Nothing you said in that quote is novel honestly. They've been working on that stuff for a long time. That said, I seriously doubt Microsoft will be able to market that stuff anytime soon. It will be a push just to get these VR helmets down to a price point where people will actually buy them. It will be impossible to do with with a VR suit or whatever this is supposed to be.

 

[Alkinduz]

Im the only One that feels this is coming lol?


anyway, oculus Rift new dev kit is like 350$, its 1080p goggles everything....sony's morphues coming for around 250 tp 300$...one of the Valve heads just started working at oculus Rift, shits gonna be steam supported vr madness my friends.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

I think Sony has the advantage right now. The headsets will likely end up being comparable in quality. There will likely be differences in performance in various areas, but all in all they'll probably be similar overall. However, the Move and PS4 cam integration will be important. That should lead to much better body tracking and integration into games.

0 interest in this

Have you ever tried out VR? I don't really see how anyone can not have any interest in it at all if they have. The shit is dope. I'm not saying that everyone has to want it or feel it's necessary, but if done right this would open the doors for a lot of interesting gaming.

It's sort of like what IMAX theatres are to regular theatres. It's understandable that you might not care enough about the IMAX experience to pay the extra money, but there really isn't any debate that movies in those theatres are much more engrossing than in the standard format.

i actually thought oculus rift was MS' VR stuff, which was why Sony was making its own.

OR just got bought by facebook, so someone must really believe in this.
