I want to hug and punch whoever came up with that name.

 

[kingocfs]

I kind of have to agree, but we'll see today if the games are worth a damn or if they're in the same trouble as the Oculus games.

Doubt it, but I hope there's better potential out of it at least. Oculus stream left me feeling pretty cold on the whole thing.

Probably Jeff or Vinny.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Please tell me they put up both lighthouses.

Why wouldn't they?

When it comes to data usage which is better? Mobile or Low? I would assume Mobile, but who knows.

Mobile is the lowest bitrate, AFAIK.

[Pedersen]

Thought the last one was just going to last 2-3 hours and ended up watching nearly the whole thing. Looking forward doing the same now that I'm more mentally prepared

 

[Data West]

You Say Goodbye I Say Halo is still the best GB sub title

 

[Z3M0G]

hahaha epic music to Caribbean style elevator music

 

[piratepwnsninja]

This image makes it look like they might be doing room scale stuff?

I hope so, because that is really what sets the Vive apart from Rift at launch.

There doesn't seem to be any kind of "killer app", but simply having the Vive controllers+roomscale makes the experiences far more compelling than anything on the Rift right now.

Why wouldn't they?

I just don't see the second one in that picture.

 

[Hasney]

The VR world is still tardy! Hopefully not driver issues again.

 

[Ghost Dad the Whip]

ALL DAY BAYBAY.. Let's go!!!!!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

From Jeff's car stream it sounds like he is a big fan of Audioshield.

Yeah. And I think they'll do a stream break just for that game as it'll get zapped on YouTube.

It's all so very YMMV though. I love my DK2 (even more so with the jump to 1.3). I watched the GB Rift livestream, had a few laughs and went back to loving my Rift. For some people the honeymoon phase doesnt end. I'm still amazed every time I put a headset on.

Steam's special brand of filth when it comes to shoddy ports and new releases is going to mix deliciously with VR. I bet a lot of games are just people trying to get in on the early gold rush since there won't be a large amount of quality games to choose from yet. I wonder if we'll see someone get sick from a bad VR game?

 

[jediyoshi]

Are you actually wondering this?

 

[Renpatsu]

I just don't see the second one in that picture.

Probably out of frame?? That's what I reckon at least.

I've got a Vive Pre so I know you're full of shit. Have had no performance issues except out of a Valve title no less. (Secret Shop, which they've since fixed.)

Anything else you want to ask?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

If it's out of frame, then they have it positioned incorrectly based on the placement of the other one.

looks like it in the background - another light stand

Huh? I'm talking about all the new VR titles popping up on the store, not the Valve games. The actual launch lineup and marketed games won't run the risk that all the random VR ports do.

Are you able to run Vive room scale stuff without both set up?

 

[Lunar FC]

Reporting vive from the gutter, I will buy this motherfucker. It's not even a discussion. Woo!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Everyone should check out the top video on the SteamVR page. What a great way to convey VR.

Good work, detective!

You can, but there would be occlusion issues.

 

[Justin]

Yeah if you are doing just seated you can put one in front of you but if you turn too far it causes problems.

 

[Raticus79]

Oh man, maybe they're going to try doing the mixed reality greenscreen technique with Fantastic Contraption. That'll blow people away if they pull it off.

(probably just for normal show production, but it would be cool)

Thought I saw on twitter that it was Jason.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Vivekick.

 

[kAmui-]

Does the Vive output regular 16:9 or will we get all kinds of outputs this time too?

 

[Hasney]

Woo, black screen cut. We ready... ish!

Does the Vive output regular 16:9 or will we get all kinds of outputs this time too?

Think it's still software dependant.

 

[neshcom]

That fucking shirt is getting keyed out. Yesssss.

 

[TharpDaddy]

We can see through Jeff's shirt into VR.

 

[Chuck]

Brad's awake what the fuck?!

 

[RepairmanJack]

With steam itself being able to stream I would think that would be something Steam has at least thought about ahead of time.

 

[Data West]

Heihachi hair already

 

[Raticus79]

Here we go! Unleash the zillion games

 

[Tubobutts]

I like Jeff's VR ready shirt.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

That fucking shirt is getting keyed out. Yesssss.

Or everything else is getting KEYED IN.

Think about it!

IKEA confirmed!

 

[tuxfool]

yasss, IKEA confirmed.

 

[Ghost Dad the Whip]

already cracking up

 

[Jintor]

his goddamn shirt is leaking reality through it

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

This launch day is already way more exciting than the Rift's.

 

[repeater]

"My hands are fucking HUGE"

I've heard that about you, Jeff

 

[Jintor]

this production reality is amazing

 

[kAmui-]

This looks fucking weird.

 

[libertytoast]

They're getting pumped over tron mode and the chaperone. Can't wait to see what reactions the games get.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Jason seems like he's living a nightmare right now. lol

 

[kinggroin]

I feel like these guys feel ashamed to be gamers and hide insecurities by tinting their presentation with a shade of jadedness


But I appreciate the insight and time spent, all the same.

 

[jediyoshi]

room scale + motion track controllers going to lend itself to much more ridiculousness

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

This is fucking great already!

BTW you can change the color of the Tron world.

 

[Raticus79]

Wonder what they'll draw in Tilt Brush
