I've seen some tech demos where the VR was linked directly to live action footage (recorded on an omnidirectional camera) and I can safely say that one day that'll be the thing that finally kills movie theaters. Unless they have a giant room of people all wearing headsets as a theater of the future, for those too poor to buy your own (or use whatever gimmicks they try to stay relevant). We're moving to an AR+VR world. We jumped the gun in the 90s.

How was my evening? I'm glad you asked: Clicked the shop open just after it had gone live. White screen. Already b0rked? Ok, a couple of tries later I get in. $599 What the gently caress? Palmer's been talking about a $350+ ballpark for ages now. That's 600 USD! But I'm in Europe, so I'll add Finland as destination country. Ok, let's do that. It switched to euros and gave me a price of €699. And that's without shipping, so it'll be another €40 or whatever for shipping. This goddamned thing is costing €740 to get over to Europe... That's 800 US Dollars! "A $350+ ballpark range"... my hairy (although delightfully firm) rear end!!! gently caress it! I'm waiting until the Touch controllers come out and the other systems too. I've waited two decades for this tech to emerge. I can wait another year! I feel pretty much kicked in the nuts by their bullshit, to be honest.

Honestly the idea that these kind of systems could be a profitable home based gaming accessory is dumb. The money in a system like this is making centers where people go and spend high amounts of money to play on a completely 100% immersive solution. Either that or DRM locking down the hardware and charging out the rear end for software licenses then heavily subsidizing the hardware.

Moridin920 posted:Yeah I'm sure they will but what I'm saying is that they might be able to reach more total revenue by pricing it cheaper and moving more units. I'm going to assume this subsidiary of a company worth hundreds of billions did the math on the optimal price point. This year they will sell it to the people who will pay whatever. The people who buy phones that costs this much every year. Gives them a chance to streamline the manufacturing and work out the bugs (maybe get some actual content worth consuming). Next model all the other people get to play as well, and the early adopters will buy that version as well. NihilismNow fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Jan 7, 2016 |

I did a bit of work developing an oculus VR environment in Unity for a local college over the summer and I gently explained that without an extremely fast PC they'd be wiping sick off the floor every goddamn day. Instead they ordered a PC with an AMD R5 and I cannot wait for the blood gates to open when they have their first cases of motion sickness

I got one for free and while I thought it was pretty cool, it got boring really quick. Mostly because I didn't want to spend any money on the VR games for $5+ that I'd probably finish in less then an hour and never do anything else with them again. I was considering ordering the Oculus if it was $350 or so, but when I saw the $599 price tag I just closed the tab. EVE: Valkyrie looks fun though.
