This is sweet, but I really hope we get a tabletop mode similar to that RTS shown on the Rift at some point.

Imagine taking in the entire game at a view.

Imagine a table top Starcraft and Warcraft game.

I really, really want to play Magic The Gathering in a table top form like this, beats the shit out of the crappy MTGO client.

The guy wearing the headset just said differently.

Are you referring to when Jeff asked them if it was jittery? He said that out of concern for them watching (certain games last week were particularly susceptible to invoking motion sickness from stream watchers, and Dan's head movement was particularly erratic).

 

[TheMrPliskin]

This is rad.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

VR BULLETHELL

Kreygasm

"It's fuckin RAD!"
-Jeff G.


please ship my vive

 

[Zaph]

 

[RepairmanJack]

Shit man, my work productivity just dropped about 80%.

Same...

About to take an early lunch.

 

[bloodydrake]

Its Fucking Rad!

 

[Jintor]

This is insane. Oh my god

 

[GitarooMan]

Man, the bullets coming at him in 3D, that is fucking cool. I really want one of these..

 

[Krejlooc]

lol he's so into it that the's ignoring his questions

This looks nuts

 

[Kimaka]

this is like phaser practice in TNG

lol it totally is

DO IT.

Climate change awareness core just won HTC the vr race.

[T.O.P]

this just looks awful. terrible juttery movement and these "games"... ugh

These "games" are one free collection of mini games

 

[RomanticHeroX]

So I've never personally used a VR headset so I am 100% speaking from my ass, but the point and click method of movement in larger spaces seems like an early, unrefined solution for how to interact with larger spaces in these games. I really want to try one to see how disorienting it actually is to have movement that isn't directly tied to the way your body is moving.

He also said that it could get jittery for him when a game was loading.

 

[therealminime]

YEP

This all looks fucking amazing.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Damn. This looks great.

 

[Window]

This is very impressive.

This is exactly what I want from VR. All the other stuff is awesome, not saying I don't want that. But I really want fucking insane tabletop style rts games.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I believe you already know the correct answer and you've only seen 2 minigames.

 

[Mihos]

This is a good demo because it is something that couldn't have been done in any other format. I can't wait to see what 'new' genres are created in the future

These guys seem a lot more hyped for the Vive than they did for the Rift

 

[Animator]

I WANT THIS SO BAD!

 

[Death Metalist]

Fantastic synth score.

 

[MassiveNights]

Oculus already obsolete

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

"These games look good" is not a phrase that was ever said on the Oculus stream.

 

[ultron87]

Being able to duck the ship under the curves of the bullet lines the boss is shooting is super cool.

 

[Chuck]

So did they start the show with a showstopper? There's no way any other stuff is as good as this Valve stuff

 

[Glitchesarecool]

This looks amazing. Also Jeff just casually saying "die fucker."

 

[Future PhaZe]

 

[ElNarez]

I'm picturing what some company like Cave could do with this and

holy fuck, this is the way to do VR, no contest

can't afford the vive or the computer to run it, but when I do, and the tech's all worked out? this is what's next

 

[Moaradin]

This looks fucking awesome. I'm already sold on the Vive.

 

[Arulan]

Wow, bring on the VR shmups.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Wow I wasn't "choosing sides" in VR but this is so much more impressive than last week.

I wish I could buy one now.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

He also said that it could get jittery for him when a game was loading.

Ah cheers, I missed that comment. Most regular games do that anyway!

Its a hard problem to solve certainly, and is currently the least disorienting method for large movement.

Can attest that if stuff moves without you doing it, it is pretty fucking disorienting. Dunno how much of that one can get used to.

Devs are going to need to get very clever to solve this issue.

 

[TheChits]

I want to play this

 

[Jintor]

The only thing I'm weary about is that fucking cord

 

[Salty Catfish]

Fuck me, I might legitimately buy one of these now. Someone stop me.

 

[Mihos]

like how he is stepping over the Mines LOL..

That is like tilting the controller in racing games.

 

[hammertomb]

I need a vive.

 

[Krejlooc]

this is exactly what I've been saying. The Lab has been my most anticipated game this year since it was first unveiled. People completely missed that Valve had a polished game coming out this year, filled to the brim with experimental gameplay.

 

[Guess Who]

This has already sold me on a Vive 100x better than the Oculus stream ever did

 

[Window]

This is so good.

 

[Antiwhippy]

This looks legitimately awesome.

 

[Kysen]

3D bullet hell, oh shit.

I really want to try one to see how disorienting it actually is to have movement that isn't directly tied to the way your body is moving.

I am also 100% speaking out of my ass, but from all the creative ways of moving around the teleporting one seems by far the most intuitive. From the little experience I have with movement in VR (from DK1 days), I absolutely see why it is a problem. It still has it's place for people that are not motion sickness sensitive and for traditional games ported to VR, but I wouldn't want to design a game around it.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

So relieved this stuff looks great.

 

[Quentyn]

I have been watching for 5 minutes and this already looks better than anything I saw in the Oculus stream.

 

[cheezcake]

I think this is the most compelling VR experience I've seen so far in terms of gameplay. You just can't do this on any other platform.
