Oculus rift...

[Tsakali]

well it's improbable that it will continue to disappoint every time. The need to create more realistic mediums (at least in gaming) is an obvious driving force. It will get done right, at some point...

It's not going away so you might as well quit your ignant trolling on the subject.

It will evolve, negative Nancy.

maybe, Plan Bender - or maybe it'll be like 3D movies: something that pops up every so often with plenty of fanfare, but somehow disappoints every time

something like your penis

Yeah, maybe this or that.
But *probably* this is the next step in how we perceive media.
I don't really understand this resistance to this obvious innovation.
Did you heavily invest in some 2D stock or something?

ignant 2D stock

by the way, has anyone actually tried these things? what's the peripheral vision like? that's something that could really be improved, to get us away from the current running-around-wearing-a-box-on-your-head-with-a-hole-in-it experience

[Plan B]

Heh, it's a bit reminiscent of how my gran didn't see the advantage of colour tvs over her steam powered b/w tv

[seremtan]

your grandma had a steam-powered TV?

rad

[Plan B]

Yup.
And she beat that steam-powered TV over your troglodite grandma's head to announce the coming of 3D experience.
Sweet old grandma

Plus lick my sour balls

Extra vinegary

[seremtan]

Yup.

a beautiful story you can tell your grandchildren once you've translated it into mongolese

the view is actually a respectable 110 degrees, which is a significant improvement. the real question is, with such a wide FOV, if the 1900+ pixel resolution will be good enough.

Actually in that Mirror's Edge video, he said that the peripheral vision was lower than the original and caused him such problems as making one of the puzzles more difficult to do

you're either full of shit, or they are false advertising.. either way, not my fault.
