What do you think the real ones cost these days? At least you can get some variety with the virtual ones.

You ain't raining on my parade. Everyone already knows it has a small field of vision. That's why I said G2 would be cool. ;)

e: Even with a small FOV, I think it's more impressive than head tracking devices with screens attached.

They skipped Morpheus because they knew that's the only trick Microsoft has at the moment and Occulus already proved how boring it is. Right now, the winning strategy is to avoid whatever Microsoft attempts right now, wait for their meltdown to blow over and then sell it when the controversy already happened.

Still, the Nintendo conference should be goddamn foolproof at this point.

FFXV won't be at E3. They're saving it for Gamescom. So if anyone's in the thread's waiting for more FFXV info, well uh, don't. That's when the promotional campaign for the game will start off, so we should at least get a release window then.

Robots looked super cool but the main character narrating everything sucked and something about it just feels off.

I can't get enough of that $150 controller.

It's me, I'm the market for high end controllers. People already spend more on a gaming keyboard and mouse combos and good arcade sticks cost about that much, whereas the controller market is only first party hardware and cheap knockoff poo poo. I'd definitely be willing to ship out 100+ for a controller with as much quality as a TE stick.

That being said, buying the very first high end controller from microsoft of all people doesn't sound like a safe bet.

Red ring of death on a $150 controller seems like a lot of fun.

The Steam Controller is coming out for $50, so I fail to see why the gently caress I'd shell out an extra $100 just for a controller.

What's the most awkward moment for the show this year? I missed the Ubisoft presentation, but to me it's been the Oculus guy coming onstage at their event out of breath trying to hype the crowd.

Or maybe all the weird eye contact and the where-do-my-hands-go moments after the Best Buy World Championships were over.

Honestly? Most gaming news sites. Since there's so much info released at once, they don't have time to edit stuff, just go "this is announced"

I think Oculus VR kit (which comes with a XB1 controller and some other junk) is rumoured for about $400, no idea about the Oculus Touch controller.

Yes. And Scuf has, in fact, been doing just that for years (as well as some controller modders who cater to disabled individuals), although you're right that this is the first time a first-party company has done it.

Yep, that's what's going on. The buttons are remappable to what you want and the face plates interchange so you can switch out the analogs and D-pads. BTW that was a feature on the Intellivision folks. We've gone so far we are back to face plate switching!

Thanks.

It's showing what area of your vision will be able to display a hologram, and what won't.

The UI demoed on screen isn't possible in that view area.

The cameras are hooked up to the same tech as the Hololens. What you are seeing is from the Camera's FOV and not the actual headset. The headset itself appears to only have an about 45 degree angle out from each eye fov. So if you were standing in the same spot as that camera the lit up part is actually all you would see from that distance.


E: My rebuttal to people complaining about that is... "it's loving holograms that you can walk around!"

I don't know about you guys, but I've been waiting for something like this since that lame cowboy time travel arcade hologram game that basically was like Dragon's Lair. I assume by G2 the HPU they made will be powerful enough to handle full FOV.
