I actually just played it on my smartphone with the screen about an inch away from my eyes. It's blurry as gently caress, but it works. Holy poo poo. I need to go find some other Rift videos.

3D movies suck and it' just blurry poo poo for me too. The rift on the other hand is literally a screen for each eye with fisheye effect completely dominating your field of view. It's finally virtual reality and I'm extremely pumped and it's currently taking all my willpower to not buy a development kit just to play games with it and not actually use it for testing and development.

Zsinjeh posted:May I ask what you have that won't let the Rift work for you? I was born with a lazy left eye and it didn't get corrected (read: kid me hated those patches) and ended up amblyopic and stereoblind, so I've only got inferential depth perception techniques like parallax to go by. Makes trying to take a left turn at night without a stoplight suck total rear end, I tell you what!  Normally the left eye is effectively "off" (it's not, really, but it's like trying to explain color to someone blind from birth, so vOv), but with the Rift it wouldn't have a choice. My guess would be the two disparate images would refuse to combine and I'd get a violent fucker of a headache, so the immersion part would be a bust too. But I'd love to find out for sure!

Zsinjeh posted:I see what you mean with lack of 3D, but it would definitely still be interesting to see how it would work for you with a rift. From what I understand the biggest part of 'fooling' your brain is the quick head tracking and how smooth it responds. Especially since the resolution is so bad in the devkit that making out detail is pretty much impossible. Yeah I actually thought of that patching idea about five minutes after I posted. It still cheeses me off that the 3D can never work for me, but maybe the Rift itself isn't a total loss. Need to find me a way to demo one. Get out to PAX next year or something. I'm genuinely curious what it'd do, considering reports like that one guy who straight up got cured of stereoblindness from seeing some 3D Pixar movie or something.

I'm not sure on curing steroblindness (but how cool would that be if it happened again) but I would definetely think it would give a a pretty good immersion. At my local museum there's a huge spherical IMAX theater and I would always get motion sickness and butterlifes when they played rollercoaster movies or airshow photography just because the screen was so large it completely dominated my field of vision. And this was years ago before any sort of 3d glasses, so just the fact it was dominating my field of view non-3D felt like I was flying. Once the rift is out for release I'm sure goons nearby would be glad to demo them for goons that ask around. That or PAX like you said. e: Here's the Rift thread for a bunch more info from goons with first hand experience http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3500989&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 Zsinjeh fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Nov 30, 2013 |

In Planetside 2 the New Conglomerate ASFs have the option for a giant shotgun as their projectile weapon, it's pretty funny.

ghetto wormhole posted:In Planetside 2 the New Conglomerate ASFs have the option for a giant shotgun as their projectile weapon, it's pretty funny. Shotguns are awesome, no matter how goofy.  Since collisions are deadly in ES, they end up pretty balanced. AI are a little skittish about collisions when they need to get that close, making them less aggressive. I will have to tune that. When I fix that I think those encounters will get pretty tense. I am going to add cloaking devices too, so a faction might have cloaks + shotguns + super weak vitality. I also need to do some sound design and work on interior firing sounds for the shotgun. I didn't want to peruse SoundDogs and order poo poo online while the stream was on though.

In the X-Wing games, one of my favorite things to do was to load up a Y-wing with those super slow space bombs, plow all my energy into propulsion, and get real close to a destroyer and let 'em all go. They were so slow, they'd always get shot down, so that was the only way to make any use of them. So, yes, I would like a ridiculous space shotty.
