    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Oh the flight sim people have some very impressive setups ready for Star Citizen/Eliteangerous, Eve:Valkyrie etc. I know almost all racing games show the avatar moving the wheel, and I remember people talking about how weird to see in the Rift.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I think RPGs, flight sims and racing games are all hugely impacted by using a rift. Especially since immersion is the key force in those games. For online FPS I'd say competition is the key component to them, and a rift is only desirable if it helps you compete (Which may be true with the high...

    Yeah. It's limited by the fact that it's an open loop system with no feedback. When there's no large mass of a sword that gives weight to the movement you're always going to be able to just rotate it with your wrist and swing your sword around 10 times a second. Making large, sensible sword...

    Would anyone else mind if Naruto spent a month giving a one page storyline of each major character in the Naruto universe killing Madara?

    Who thought Vegeta was going to beat Majin Buu? Guy isn't even Naruto's Vegeta (Sasuke is the closest thing and even that's a bad comparison). Guy beating Madara would be like Tenshinhan beating Majiin Buu.

    The directional wifi could be used to support an HMD right? And I agree that the xbone is in perfect position to support an HMD since they have so much focus on the kinect. I don't like using my body as a controller but being able to use the kinect + an HMD is so much better than having to...

    Microsoft: We're willing to "see how the VR space evolves" | Ars Technica Kind of disappointing they aren't at least talking about jumping in with a 'me too!'. I expect they'll change their mind.

    Virtual Reality

    Oh ok, yeah I can understand why that'd be cool. I don't really have enough imagination to think of how good it'd really be. Most movies the characters, plot story etc are the important parts and the director/editors have very tight control of the shot to maximize the impact of those elements...

    Virtual Reality

    I don't really get the theater-in-an-hmd part of the Rift. What does a virtual big screen TV in the rift have over a real big screen TV? I would assume that a real big screen TV has better resolution and a host of other advantages (Like not having to wear an HMD). If the CV1 is 1440 and the...

    Yeah those are all big issues but not really damning. I'm super excited about what they're doing because the question of whether or not they were taking it seriously has been answered pretty well. Now the big question is how much pressure and support they'll exert on game developers to make...

    Reading the Morpheus reviews people seem pretty happy with it. People say it's almost as good as DK2/Crystal Cove which is way more than I expected from Sony.

    Virtual Reality

    Yeah I'm thinking if we don't get a CV1 announcement before July it probably means it'll be a while. A CV1 announcement will reduce the DK2 sales (Which they want to get the DK2 in the hands of real devs instead of just enthusiasts).

    Yeah Oculus changed their story. A couple months ago they said no dev kit, then recently they said they'd do a dev kit with identical specs to the consumer version. Now they're saying they'll do a dev kit 2 and the consumer version will be improved. My guess is that they're constantly...

    Who is saying that body-control is 'LOL KID STUFF'? I don't like it because I don't want to physically move around and my body isn't a very good input device for the games I want to play.

    I think the reason we like Zaraki is because whenever he fights one of these dicks he has the same attitude the reader has, as in he's thinking, "Wow what kind of dumbass character do I have to kill now? This is dumb hurry this shit a long fucking hell" He also has the best 'power ups' and...

    Bro he punched him. This is a huge mirror to the Lee vs Gaara fight. I don't think there's a question that Madara is going to come out of this okay, but Guy is the first person to make Madara look mortal which is the most one could ask from someone like Guy.

    On the other hand their hmds have been awful. A big question is whether the dinosaurs responsible for zero innovation are also responsible for morpheus. I think we will know today if that's the case.

    Apparently the design helps reduce the amount of force on your face. The biggest question will likely be if the solved the motion sickness problem. We will know tomorrow, but I'm betting Sony can match what the rift did.

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    Having worked in many projects where no one was dead weight I completely disagree with this. Yes, there will always be a weakest link, sometimes there's a couple mediocre guys and a couple talented guys and that's ok. Is there ever an instance in your mind that you think it'd be okay to fire...

    It's not just how things work. It's how things should work. The talented employees attempt to leave groups with dead weight in them and if you're a manager with mediocre employees and deadweight your group can't be effective.
