I got to play around with a Vive for a few hours and painted a Mew and Mewtwo. Mewtwo Is huge, I think he’s roughly 6 feet tall in person, while Mew is like a medium sized dog.
If only it didn’t require a what, $400+ graphics card, i7 series CPU (or better) (and the $400+ pricetag for the hardware as well)
(To “Get VR Ready”, I’ve got to get a stronger card, [750ti won’t cut it] spend another $100 on filling in the other 16gb of RAM slots so I can multitask better[streaming], then $500+ on the Vive. Sure wish they sold it as pieces so I can slowly and affordably buy it. The wands, the receivers/emitters, and then the main headset itself.)
Please tell me you got to play with the Pool Nation VR and break beer bottles with reckless abandon?
Yeah this was at a friend of mine’s place, my comp can barely handle WoW lol. It still lagged after some play and some games glitched quite a bit but…I just can not get over how immersive it was. Videos don’t do it justice at ALL.
I also played:
theBlu - The whale swimming by legitimately intimidated me. Just seeing one swim by in scale was just…wow.
Audioshield - Fun but I lack rhythm so I wasn’t very good lol.
A Chair in a Room: Greenwater - FUCK FUCK FUCK NOPE FUCK. Seeing a video lets play just does NOT do this justice. I couldn’t get over how real even the lady behind the medicine glass was to me, the TV looks so REAL in person. I got legit cold sweat I was so scared seeing that cop with a shotgun outside the hotel window.
Vanishing Realms: Took a minute to get used to teleporting around but holy shit the combat is SO GOOD. Parrying and blocking with two blades or a shield…the bow, being able to literally duck for cover….it felt like what skyward sword WANTED to be. I hope I can finish it next time I visit. Downside was I kept getting too immersed and stepping too far out of the circle.
Waltz of the Wizard - more of a tech demo but very fun to play with. Beth poofed around as a skull and shot things while I kept lighting things on fire and air drawing dicks.
Home Improvisation - Ikea furniture building, with FRIENDS! Didn’t glitch quite as much as it did for Griffon, but it was fun figuring it out. We did 2 player with one on the desktop.
