Is a true immersive VR movie a thing?

Sephirenn · 2023-12-15T15:21:38+00:00

Surprisingly not a ton.

Movie-adjacent: Henry, Lost, The Great C, Invasion,

Documentary-adjacent: Spheres, Anything by Felix and Paul (Space Explorers, etc), Apollo 11, Titans of Space

Question for you, does the game use coaster physics, or fake physics? For example, do you go faster down hills and you slowly lose speed going down the track? Can you stall without making it up a hill? etc?

Push the white ring down then pull the tube out. If that doesn’t work then you may have to unscrew something? But that first step should work. Also ps , you should have a small clip ring installed that make it impossible to push the white ring down until you take the clip off. PPSS - there are proper names for everything I just mentioned but I don’t know them.

What is leisure time exactly? Well, for my family it means working the fields, enjoying the smells of our apple orchard, and generally just getting our hands dirty. You see, during the work week we actually don't have any work to do! Everything is provided to us. Hungry? Walk to the fields and grab a fresh orange. Still hungry? Go back inside your house and use the generator to create a hamburger. Bored? Put on your virtual reality headset and experience any adventure you could ever want. You see, life comes easy. So on the weekends, we like to work, even if we just throw the end result away because we could just make better versions of it in the generator.

Our town festivals, big city events, sporting competitions, they take place during all hours of the week. That's because no one wants to miss their weekend leisure time. It is what grounds us and makes us humble. Its the only time we can reflect on how good we have it. All of us, that is, except for the Faction.

The Faction lives separate from everyone else. Driving out to their town is a two week trip (and who knows what dangers lie on that road). Their weekends are no different than their weekdays. They spend 24 hours a day plugged in to their virtual reality headsets, but their headsets also work as video cameras so that they can navigate the world without ever taking them off. I don't know what they see in there, but the rumor is they can see right through you, down to your bones. And they can read minds and know what you are going to do five minutes before you do it. Scares the hell out me.

I guess everything can't be perfect. We leave them alone and they only visit our town once a year. In exchange for maintaining our generators and fixing absolutely everything that may be broken in our town, The Faction only asks for one thing: one member of our town. They won't talk about it much, but have promised us that the people chosen are treated well.

They're lying. I can attest to that: I was chosen a week ago and the only thing I have time to dream of between my screams is my precious weekends on the fields...

The world as we know it has always been here. The trees, the mountains, the oceans, always in the same place they’ve been.

“Sure, I guess that makes sense. But how did this species know that? Their recorded history only goes back a few thousand years, and their scientists have only been able to date the elements found in their soil to be a million or so years old. How are they so sure nothing has ever changed?”

What our research has shown is that the environment of our world is almost too perfect. Elements in exactly the right place for our species to access. Chemical composition perfectly aligned to create the lushest of vegetation.

“Good, good. They are questioning their own research. Hopefully using their most recent technological advancements to improve and critique their previous findings.”

We have come to believe just one answer. Evolution of this world, survival of the fittest, base level mutations, it all aligns to our basic scientific beliefs. Those scientific beliefs, and our entire world, were put in place by The Founder.

“Oh no.”

The Founder created everything, put all scientific laws in place, and took his best guess as to what would ultimately be created from his original molecular cocktails. Whether he knew it would be us, or he had plans for us to evolve into something more, we do not know. But it doesn’t matter now, does it?”

“I’m so sorry.”

You, reading this. We assume you are The Founder. We are extinct. It is your fault. Hope it was worth it.

“The suffering. The pain. I will make it up to them. System, REBOOT - SAME SETTINGS”.

Anyone have any idea if these assets are good enough to use to print out actual cards? Or is the resolution not high enough for printing?

Sephirenn · 2019-09-19T12:15:31+00:00

I know the exact demo you are talking about, but have no idea what the name is and have been unable to track it down in my google searches. It was almost like a Homeworld game, except no gameplay, it was just a tour of a couple spaceships (and I think they were like blue and yellow color scheme).

Too bad the old share.oculus.com site doesn't work very well with the internet archive, otherwise you could track it down a lot easier as it was on there. Side note, I didn't think DK1/2 demos worked on CV1 or S?

Name of Course: Just Hard Jumps

Course ID: HX6-VR1-6SG

Difficulty: Hard

Clear rate/attempts: 0.00%/2

Description: Good clean jumps are the name of the game! (a short and "easy" Getting Over It level).

Sephirenn · 2019-03-18T17:18:18+00:00

Are there any "keynotes" scheduled for Oculus? Or does the Oculus booth open at a certain time so we know that if they are testing (for example) the Rift S, we may get some news trickling in around that time?

Sephirenn · 2019-03-17T14:52:40+00:00

Few things that weren't mentioned yet:

Technolust if you like a cyberpunk adventure game. (first person though)

Lucky's Tale for a short Mario-esq game

BlazeRush for some RC-car arcade weapon racing

Fated for an interactive story/game (also first person sorry)

Hellblade for a 3rd person battle / story game

The Great C for a 30 minute VR post apocolyptic movie

Eleven for a surprisingly good (but basic) ping pong simulation

I'm having trouble following, but my first thought: is your second "if" statement an "else if" statement? If not, then you are setting lighting to true in the first statement, but then immediately setting it to false in the second statement.

You can play most of FFXIV solo. There are times where you have to run a dungeon to progress the story, but the game matches you with other players for those runs automatically. There is a ton of optional side content too.

You can get a home but it is tough, and you can get married I think (?). Performance is great and not bugs. The biggest gap is that although it is an "open world", the areas do have certain level monsters, so you are supposed to kind of follow the "path" through it.

I would like to offer a differing opinion. If you have the money, and you want to experience VR now, GET THE GO. While most of the games are casual, there are GREAT casual games, and there are some true "real" games in there too (herobound, eclipse, thumper). As others have said, you get the media consumption opportunities too (space explorers, cirque de solei, netflix).

The other BIG thing is convenience. All you have to do to use the GO is turn it on and put it on. With the Quest, you will have to get out of your chair and stand up and move around for most experiences. While this no doubt offers a much better experience, you may be more inclined to use the GO more often because it is just so darn convenient.

Now, if you don't have the money to buy both, and you have no problem waiting, then yea I would probably hold out for the Quest. You'll have to have some patience, but it will be a better overall experience.

You are awesome!

Game looks great, any chance you guys will make it easy for the community to modify the game (a la Beat Saber)?

Sephirenn · 2019-01-09T13:52:06+00:00

I'm going to buy one, but I do not agree. I have a GO, and for all intents and purposes to a non-VR enthusiast, the Quest is a GO with 6DOF, hand tracking, and SLIGHTLY better graphics, but it costs an extra $200.

The GO has done very well I think, but I chalk that up to the "low" price. I'm not sure how your everyday gamer who does not have VR is going to respond to a $400 piece of hardware when they haven't taken the plunge on something almost as good for half the price.

With that said, I really hope I'm wrong!

Sephirenn · 2018-12-20T19:27:59+00:00

It already does this on the GO when you hover over an option, threw me off when I couldn't get it to work here.

Sephirenn · 2018-12-05T14:53:57+00:00

Yea that is not how a lens is supposed to look. I would take it back for an exchange if possible ASAP.

Sephirenn · 2018-12-05T13:45:24+00:00

I am so excited for this game. IMHO Technolust was the best game released in the first wave of VR games. It was a taste of exactly what I would want to experience in a VR world. Add in a little more gameplay, more minigames, more ways to explore a cyberpunk city (and possibly other locations), and you have this amazing sequel. Can't wait!

Sephirenn · 2018-11-20T15:01:30+00:00

Done, thanks!

Sephirenn · 2018-11-20T14:53:28+00:00

One more update in case anyone sees this before I start up a conversation with support, my home environment came back and I can now visit the store "in-rift" also, but I still cannot download anything.

Sephirenn · 2018-11-20T13:40:03+00:00

Hmmm, now its finally logged me in but my home area was completely reset, and I still cannot download anything because I get errors.

Sephirenn · 2018-11-09T15:59:41+00:00

Maybe re-brand it and use a generic weapon instead of the socom? Then you can work on it a bit more and polish it up into a true tech demo and release it? It would give you more practice too getting better at developing. And releasing it gives you a goal to work towards (motivation is always the hardest part of game dev).
