Yes @CrashFu - I agree with the replacing of the executive pool, we saw new thinking and we had a more open and broader reviewing process. Though we did see some selective placement - what we see with all PR agency business. Valve is a different k…

Hiro_Protag0nist said: .... I just don't think they have been ported yet. They will need to be updated for the controllers i should think. More cost for us? Probably. .... Yeah, the cost and the level of interest - but also I think there wil…

RuneSR2 said: .... Fully agree - using high levels of super sampling I really don't have a lot of problems with image quality even in the now low-res CV1 HMD, it generally looks awesome. .... Fully agree, I have used that image in the past…

Looks to be some other solutions in the wings - we will know more around E3,

Hiro_Protag0nist said: ..... My fault, i didn't manage my own expectations and should have known better. It's no problem, the main purpose is mobility. I was kind of expecting to be able to play all of my old Gear VR games - they are completely a…

Hiro_Protag0nist said: ..... Textures! Playing Rush on the Quest after playing it on the Rift - my heart absolutely sank. There's no way i will be able to play the same games on the Quest that i play on the Rift. I expect the lenses will fog up …

There are a lot of issues, and performance is impacted, but this could be a gateway to High-end VR for some users!

Luciferous said: Yeah I think they are going to add a lot to immersion. They look pretty clumsy but I hope after a while it will just become second nature. They work surprisingly well compared to what they look like - I think its the …

pyroth309 said: This was cool too, a walk through the evolution of knuckles. .... Thanks for sharing - that was a really interesting look at one side of the evolution of the Knuckles (INDEX Controllers). I think these are a revolution …

RuneSR2 said: TheRealCyber said: Yeah, everyone's head is different. Exactly and let's not turn this thread into a phrenology session from 1820 Ouch! We use to use these to store our headsets on:

falken76 said: ..... I only trust user reviews, even the Youtubers are paid shills now. They don't want to be assed out of the next product offering so they can't give bad reviews, they'll bullshit their way through the review because free…

Luciferous said: Like most things these days, advertising does not play as bigger role as it used to. Word of mouth, you tube reviews etc seem I believe fuel the sales. I would rarely look at Oculus's official advertising like the above. In f…
-
TheRealCyber said: I agree, but it's a hard problem. It is like trying to sell something most people don't know they need, or may not even really know what it is. How do you explain that in an ad? For me back in 2013 it was simple - us…
-
I think the connection was not my point, but what the "message" the representation was selling - but I am willing to wait and see how well the initial sales number from this and the E3 advertising campaign work out @TheRealCyber. Appreciate all the …

RedRizla said: @RuneSR2 - I don't hold out much hope given they have had time to get these headset and software ready. Nobody told them to release these headsets now and nobody was even expecting Rift S. But why are they selling games like this…

TheRealCyber said: I like what they are doing. They should try to advertise to a wider audience. Especially to hit 1 billion people in VR. But is not the point being made that you have to know VR to be able to get what the poster(s) ar…

Shadowmask72 said: On a more serious note. Well where does one start. In reality she probably couldn't KO that ripped dude, so the title is correct but it plays heavily on sexism and tropes. It also suggests women can dominate men in VR but not…

I think we can see the style they were going for:

Thanks for sharing @Shadowmask72 - filled in a lot of holes, and also explained how the small group is utilising its resources - we wish them well, and look forward to the new launch.
-
Following the supply of the Kickstarter units to the backers, the company is finding it hard to define their position - and are beginning to see the reality of the consumer VR scene - they hope that modd'ers will save them (and offer free publicity …

TheRealCyber said: I don't recall seeing that before either. I agree - strange as it sited the number of Oculus Go sales speculation and I normally am all over that kind of speculation - CNET does not figure in my normal info search bu…
-
Not so sure @snowdog - well not at the start anyway, MS seems focused on getting the system out rather than another Kinect2 gimmick to weigh down the launch! That said the "Nextbox" (Xboner!) will how a powerful kick so maybe one of the remaining Wi…

They can be overdone @JeremyC85, end up being a crutch to bad story telling. But I am a sucker for good particle effects - the bigger the better

Just came across this, and did not remember reading this here (or anywhere) at the time - if it was already covered in depth here at the time, then I will delete the post.
