Sambob Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ive just been looking at this, and some of the concepts and screenshots for games looks pretty good. Does anybody know any details of where you can try VR stuff, if its launching in October then im guessing in the summer there are going to be some exhibitions.

Sambob Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Worth pointing out that the PS VR needs a camera which isnt included in the price of the headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I presume that since the camera has been available separately since the console released, they need a basic package for people who have one already. No doubt there will be bundles available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm sort of tempted by this to be honest, need to try it out first and I'm also pretty tired of being an early adopter too so will probably do the smart thing of waiting a year until its both ready and affordable.

retroed Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Remembered I have a PS4 camera from when I bought my Player Edition console bundle at launch. Might look into this VR lark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey_chaser Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I actually received a free Samsung Gear VR with my new phone on Tuesday so have been having a bit of a play around, and though it's more on the cheap and cheerful side, i've been pretty blown away by it to be honest. The sense of scale you get from stuff is amazing - there was a cool national geographic sampler, where your in a woodland glade with not much going on - i turned around and there was a fucking great bear about three foot from my face. Also downloaded a Squarepusher music video which was great, and tried a cool short vr film called Sonar, which put you in the cockpit of a drone exploring an asteroid. It's really got me quite excited about this whole vr thingy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 HTC Vive, Lakitu, it's mentioned extensively on the previous page, c'mon man Also, no idea where you've got that info about having to buy the 'VR edition', I've not heard anything about that I must say, got a source for that?

DisturbedSwan Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Ahh ok, couldn't find any info about this for a while I must say. Did a bit of digging, and as far as I can tell you can play the game on your Rift if you own the game on Steam, but the game will also be available on the Oculus Store on March 28th.

Hendo Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I caught bits of their stream yesterday. Defense Grid 2 in VR is like some crazy table top game. Also they were messing with Brad as he was on the green screen with the set on. They shrunk him down and had him sitting on Drew's knee while they poked him and stroked him, completely oblivious.

Duck Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Watching some of the Giantbomb's coverage of the Vive. Their launch line up looks a lot better than the OR's. The Lab stuff Valve made looks real good. Job Simulator looks a laugh too. But they just seem to be the sort of thing you would play for a day or 2 and not touch again. 689 pound sterling is a lot for something like that. But it's does look fun.

DANGERMAN Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 AMD have just revealed a 'VR Backpack'. Basically, a pc, capable of running VR, all contained in a backpack, with battery (I think). So, theoretically, you could play VR in the middle of a sports hall, outside, or more likely, in your room without cables to get in the way No idea on the price, cool idea, no one is going to buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
