Waaaay ahead of its time. In 2009 most people still had slow DSL at best, and a lot of people used dial-up. Playstation NOW is a better idea but it's useless for twitchy games due to latency.

There will never be a point where playing games on VR is as effortless as playing them with traditional mediums. People play video games to relax and do shit when they don't have to do shit. Getting VR setup and organizing your room to make it usable is a chore that gets old fast.

God damn, I'm a dubshitter casualfag and this couldn't ring more true with me. Until VR reaches a level where reality is supplementary to virtual reality, there's no point.

>>377755995
Thats because none of the vivre / occulus devs had the idea of making a generic directx / opengl to 3D render conversor. Whats the point of having a vr set if all i can use it for is porn and shitty tech demos. Why cant i play some older favorite game of mine in vr?

>>377755454
What it would let game developers do is keep their hands on the game and its code while only distributing its appearance. No piracy, no cheating, no modding, a total stranglehold on the code of their game. At the same time, 10 seconds of thinking is all it takes to figure out some potential issues and flaws (maybe they will throttle you after a few hours by increasing input lag).

>>377758126
How many of them are so deep into it that they actually deluded themselves into thinking the game is as great as it was hyped to be?

>>377755684
PS now is also overpriced as fuck.
I don't know why Sony is so retarded that they thought $4.99 for FOUR HOURS of steaming for one game that game out years ago would be acceptable.
Sony could've done something really innovative and cool but the problem is that it's Sony who're completely fucking incompetent and can't handle a new market product properly to save their lives.

OnLive wasn't live streaming so you could watch it, it was live streaming so you could play it. Like if you were watching a twitch stream but actually controlled what was going on. It was meant to allow playing console games without the console.

Shoulder view really ruins the game though, the maps were designed with low visibility in mind. Suddenly being able to see around you easily without sacrificing control (like first person mode does) renders all the detection gimmicks the game was balanced around pointless.

the software just didn't evolve above the gimmick 3D was. With VR it's not quite clear yet. But no one is going to buy a Rift or some other expensive piece of hardware so they can walk around in some virtual map with no gameplay and terrible textures.

If VR is ever going to take off it needs to get a game that is insanely good and also clearly only playable with a VR device. The other possibility is that VR porn becomes interactive and realistic enough that it basically becomes a glorified masturbation aid.

>>377755454
onlive actually worked really well technically, even on absolute ass connection and a netbook videogames were extremely playable

the problem is that it's not better than playing on an actual pc/console, so the only people that want to use it are the ones that are too poor to buy one and aren't gonna spend much money on onlive bullshit either

Maybe, I would imagine that our brain's perception of time is at least somewhat affected by outside stimuli, but I don't really have a fucking clue. But to simulate a lifetime in an hour I don't think so, because you'd basically need your brain to be working something like 700,800 times as fast as normal wouldn't you which I mean I have no clue if it could or not, but it doesn't sound likely. I don't even know if that's physically possible given it's dependant of the speed of electrical signals.

>g-good games will come, I swear!
Alright anon, sure. As of right now VR is an overpriced meme with nothing of substance. Come back when it's actually worth it and not Wii tier waggle shit.

>>377763973
Dude, I'm not that guy but claiming that vr has been a success for gaming so far is disingenuous, at best.
Multiple devs have come out saying that the only way they can make money making vr games is if a vr company subsidizes the development, which is the equivalent of saying: "This platform is dead".
The final hope is that some modders make something so mind-boggling that it resparks the mainstream interest in vr.
Weather or not that will happen remains to be seen, but so far buying vr to actually play GAMES rather than experimental toys is a ridiculous proposition.

>>377763752

>Come back when it's actually worth it and not Wii tier waggle shit.
I'll give you that it isnt worth it right now, but wii wagglan is nowhere close to the vive wands. you've never experienced 1:1 99.99% accuracy with motion controls before, and thats what the vive wands do.

Theyre already doing this, doom 3 was modded to work in vr with full motion controller support and it is awesome.

I agree, which makes it even more weird you seem to invested in it. Video games are fickle and volatile as hell, plenty of games/consoles/peripherals have bombed hard on way less hype than VR.

What needs to happen for vr to become successful?
>inb4 good games
Nobody is going to invest serious money into something that has an install base this tiny and almost nobody is going to buy an expensive gadget just to experience games they can already play without vr.
By the time vr is cheap enough to become widely available, we'll already have AR, which is a much more interesting thing, with far greater potential.

it was growing up WITH /v/. I found /v/ in 2007 and I'm 25 now. I'm the only person I know who is this jaded about video games in general. I'm also the only person I know who has been to 4chan long-term. Everyone else left because 'all they do is search for something to hate'

We ruined ourselves anon.

>>377765959
Well yeah, but when AR comes out it'll be as shitty as VR is right now so no one will buy it straight away anyway.

For VR to succeed, I think it needs a couple of things

>Standalone console
As it stands, VR requires you to have a beast of a computer or a PS4 with accessories no one cares about, and even then you probably want a PS4 Pro. VR costs as much as or even more than a console, but you still need another machine anyway. If VR was its own console that would make it easier to use without having to worry about specs and easier to buy.

>Motion sickness
A lot of VR has you just standing still. Either the games don't require movement or you can simply teleport everywhere. That really limits what you can do in the game, and apparently a big factor for this is that moving when you're not in real life causes motion sickness for people. You're going to have to solve this before VR can get any better or more popular

>Price tag
It's just too expensive for most people to want to spend money on. It's not just a case of whether you can afford it, it's also if you're willing to take that much of a risk. A good idea might be to lower the price of the headsets just to get them into homes and introduce people to VR and try to make back your money long term with games.

>Exclusivity
Its way too early in the game for consolewarring. It's making everyone stop and wait to see who the "winner" will be, but at this rate everyone will be a loser instead.

>>377758164

It sold less than the 64 version mate, and you have to consider the growth in the console market in the previous 20 years.

>>377776476

At least it wasn't quite as bad as ME3. Still garish though.

>Also Encarta wasn't free, more over in 95 it was a very rare commodity to even have enough disk space to store it.

Encarta was two CD's, you overstate its vastness. The WAD's for Star Wars Dark Forces could take up more space then that.

holy shit, I had that! what a piece of shit it was!

>>377776937
That doesn't make it a failure. The game sold great, even considering Wii U userbase numbers. By your shitty logic Double Dash and Super Circuit are failures too.

>>377776937
>it sold less than ten million units
>that means it sold like shit
Hi EA.

>>377770032
God damn. Just looking at screenshot makes me realize why the Wii U didn't do as hot.

>>377755684
Pretty much this. The guy who made this just repeatedly sets up these businesses with the intention to sell them. He was way too early with this one though, even now interactive streaming is pretty distant.

I got kicked off the mediaminer forums for questioning it's inevitable dominance.

From this article:
http://www.relativelyinteresting.com/comparing-todays-computers-to-1995s/

>Hard Drives: One-gigabyte hard drives are common this year, compared with the 400-500 megabyte drives of 1994. The price difference between the two is only about $200, and it’s worth it.

Two CD's had the capacity of 1400 MB, windows 95 required only 55 MB of free space on the hard drive, consider that.

Trash, knew it would be dead before it was alive.

The atmosphere of TS and Firestorm can't be reproduced because hearts for dev like that don't exist anymore. Just people who don't care and people who think they have the heart but are just chasing the heart.

The problem with SteamOS was that you couldn't dual boot it.

>>377777253

They were.

>>377777261
Considering the reach, and market allowance, yes, selling less than 10 million units is a failure for any big publisher.

Whatever happened to gametap? I remember playing the first fallout on it for free one time

>>377762839
I have a friend who swears by the Steam controller, he says that the trackpads + motion controls feel much better, and are more accurate than a regular gamepad.
Can anyone else confirm this? Personally I've tried it and absolutely hate it for regular play, my Xbone controller w/ PC adapter feels waaay nicer.
But I also hated motion controls on the WiiU so maybe I'm just crazy.

Could MN9 been good?

It's not the worst selling in the franchise as the article points out, though.

Anything by michael pachter

and you're speaking like someone who feels the need to justify their purchase.

Funny how it works out, huh?

>mfw todd howard actually does shitpost about his games

>>377781527
Not employees, but "journalists" with "inside, trusty sources" that spouted "what they have heard" on twitter, possibly to signal boost their patreons and get a bigger payout.

They got some information right, like the Switch's specs but were completely wrong in the games department, so their reputation is shady as fuck as it stands

Personally I like to think that they actually did have contact with inside sources from Nintendo, but they trolled them into having completely wrong info to smear their reputations
