hey chris who did the motion capture for the sex scenes

also did you need a dedicated mocap studio for them to conform with decency legislation

I'm afraid that all sex scenes are played out in real time, and involve mashing your crouch button over the prone body of your victim partner.

It'll also involve an unskippable animation. Fortunately, since Chris is directing these with a focus on realism, it'll be the shortest animation in the game.

Hey Karl, someone who paid in the UK for a game in 2012, with an expected delivery date of November 2014 (that still isn't out yet), isn't going to have much trouble getting his money back in court in 2016. That's even without the advantage of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2014 or the Consumer Rights Act 2015, sorry to break this to you. That's why CIG will settle, though I hope they don't.

Consequently, it won't really be a problem until and unless someone new to the game encounters it. From their interaction with CIG, citizens will already be far too familiar with both the movement itself and the feeling of not being in control over it to even notice anything.

Thing that gets me is how Chris will say any old poo poo to milk a few jpegs even if it's completely incongruous with his current game design.

How's that going to work with his to hours of cut scenes never mind all of the lovely view stealing animations when you're playing? Cultists lap that poo poo up though, none of them are saying "hang on a sec" or even wondering why at this late stage they're making sweeping changes still.

They'll just post how they've always liked procedural generations and buy more jpegs.
I wrote an effort post about this so I won't belabor it (much). But watching the Best drat Space Sim Ever sit out the commercial birth of VR while all those "wannabe" Space Sims like Elite, Eve:Valkyrie and No Man's Sky give players truly "immersive" space experiences is going to be really rich. Chris will have only himself to blame for this unforced error-- so of course he will blame other people.

Mocap sex scenes.

You are all now thinking of Chris in a skin tight black spandex suit with a ping pong ball on his dick.

And do you think they have to redo scenes when he gets half a chubby and the mocap data for his dick is out of synch with the last scene?

Anecdotal evidence from a single play session from back before they accidentally broke the Rift support…

Yes. Very yes. It is/was arguably better integrated than in many made-for-VR games I've seen. A fair amount of Elite revolved around staring at and manipulating various screens in your cockpit, preferably while also maintaining some situational awareness of what's happening in space around you. VR works spectacularly well for that task. It also manages to convey scale, distance, and speed — pretty important things for a space game — in a way that doesn't quite come across in flat 2D representations.

As G0RF said in his old effort-post, by eschewing all the nonsense minutiae and “fidelity” that plagues SC, Elite + VR manages to actually be hugely immersive in a way that must be driving CRobber insane with jealousy.

I've got a DK2 and Elite is easily the best commercial game to play it with. The menus feel like they were designed for head tracking, and the sense of depth it gives to the world is incredible. The text resolution is a little low and makes doing some tasks kind of a pain, so I tend not to use it for long trips or for trade runs, but for combat it feels like a significant advantage. The sound work in that game is also incredibly immersive- just loading into the docking bay and suddenly feeling like you're in this cavernous space hangar is a really cool moment every time the game starts.

They stopped supporting the software because Oculus was changing it so rapidly, but now that the 1.0 kit is out they're supposedly catching up at the usual glacial pace they do things. In the meantime the game is on steam and so has integrated steamVR support, which works pretty well if you fiddle your settings around.

Isn't there no persistence at all to the universe in any form, so it doesn't even matter which server you get on in the first place? How is it "Live" except in name only?
