I mean, a car or a house can count, but a nausea making monitor on your nose? No.

best vr game?
KOJIMBO DID IT AGAIN !
youtube.com/watch?v=bqR-UkZW6XE

Just look at those partners and supported engines.


I'l never imagine an experience 8k unity game would make.

is there any indication that this is a working product, even in the prototype stage, or did they just list a bunch of numbers on their kickstarter and hope people would donate?

Imagine the budget you're gonna need to be gaming in 8 fucking K, and that's AFTER buying their headset and the rest that comes with it.
I can't afford this hobby anymore this is how VR brothels become a thing

WHERE'S THE GAMES!?

Pretty good, still won't make most of the software avaible for them fucking shit.
I'll only even try VR if some autist actually manages to make a viable port of the Xray Engine to it so I can Stalkan and forget completely about this shitty reality.

OP please fuckoff, nobody here wants your kikestarter scam

THE FUCKING VR GAMES YOU FAG. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT STUPID FUCKING HARDWARE FOR NOGAEM.

they have an open sdk so who knows. i dont know if it would be possible for the xray engine unless the devs release the source code or some autists from the ground up develop their own openstalker. like they did for morrowind.

Xray Engine is Open Source

github.com/OpenXRay/xray-16/wiki/Changes

doesn't really look like they made any important contributions and changes.

Ah yes, because clearly what has been holding VR back was that there weren't enough pickles.
And who better to make it than the company behind the innovative Pimax 4k which beat even Google Cardboard to being the shittiest VR headset?
I will never feel sorry for these people.

who the fuck wants your sympathy? I bet you'd even claim electricity was a gimmick if you were alive back then.

Don't you have something to be doing, OP? Like killing yourself?

yeah i have something to do, it's to tell you to fuck off.

It's not a terrible HMD, especially since it cost a quarter of even the Cuckulus that really wasn't any better in any way, but they have some shit to fix on that. Since both the 5k and the 8k run at 90Hz and the 5k exists in the first place for a considerably cheaper option, I think these will turn out good.

I just want there to be a way to port games over to VR instead of devs making shitty wagglen games for it.

So if understand this by 90hz they really mean 45hz per eye and they only draw to one screen each refresh?

Hey, that logic puts bethesda in good light. They ported skyrim and fallout to VR. For full price without dlcs…

Can't find anything about its price outside backing shit
Where is it user?


This


And Croteam is literally doing it for free
Beth is a shit company, thats all

no, its full 90hz but it only renders 1 eye at a time but it's very fast so you see 4k in each eye. this supposedly reduces strain on the gpu.

...

4k is already out and has been for a while, you can buy it for about $270 on Gearbest.

>>>Holla Forums

Its time for you to fuckoff OP
Cukchan is the place for you

No that's different. They are making a "VR" edition when many games can just support VR from the get go like they did at first.

You shills are always so predictable.

It's always nice to guide autistic kids where they belong.

Pimax will save VR. Cap this post and cherish it

VR is a sham that can't live up to expectations. Why would anyone be interested in an expensive product with nogames is beyond me.

What a queer

Why did you come into a thread knowing full well you dont like it just to complain. Get the fuck out.

No your echochamber Reddit
Fuckoff

b-but muh future

there's a difference between an echo chamber and being a fucking nuisance. you're not even talking about the fucking vr, you're going on about how how it's a scam, no one should use vr and how op is a shill Fuck off you moron, i never stated to donate anything. get the fuck out if all you're going to do is complain in a thread no one asked you to be in.

It might actually be a good alternative to common screens though.

Reported for not even trying.

Why did you reply to a comment knowing full well it is a differing opinion just to make a fool out of yourself?

>>>/Reddit/
Seriously GET OUT.

Get the fuck out

Guess what, increasing the FOV in a VR set will look absolutely terrible. The higher resolution should be contained in the optimal field of view that better engineers already figured out. If it were as simple as "lol just put a bigger screen on it" they wouldn't be the only ones doing it or kikestarting it.

Let me know when it costs under $100. Then I'll give a single high-flying fuck.

What an unholy trifecta

...

FOV means how much you can see, the higher fov means you can move your eyes to look at the world instead of looking at it through a pair of binoculars.

Look at the degrees at the bottom of this image, from 0-200 is the field of view.

the oculus for example is only 0-100.

It was a legitimate question though. There aren't enough decent VR games to justify spending the money on the whole setup, let alone kikestarting one. Your thread and replies just give the impression that it's your kikestarter and you're extremely desperate for positive responses.

the thread was about the vr headset not the kickstarter, Where did i state to donate? you are making up your own conclusions and getting angry.

I'm not trying to sell you on anything, Also there are more things you can do with vr than just play video games, for example have your own theater room to watch movies, or have virtual Monitor for your computer. or use it for work. theres also porn.

...

He still thinks hes on cuckchan
Doesn't even know hwat IDs are while pretending to not be the OP

...

...

Apparently never have you
Wish I still had that OC some based user posted

*neither

so would it have been better if i made some arbitrary comment to appease you autists out there? i see no point when it's already been a couple years since the first vr thread was posted.

I don't think people realize just how little you can do with only $200,000. Most peoples' computers struggle to fucking run 1440p, let alone 4K. Now you want to run 8K, when 4K isn't even the standard resolution yet?

Yeah, we'll buy this fucking headset now on the hopes that in the year 2020 we can actually make use of it. If your computer can't do 120fps in 4K, it definitely can't do 120fps in 8K, considering 8K is 4x the resolution of 4K…

It would've been better if you acted less like an autist and let the retards going
be, you're not helping anything by shitposting along with them

This is objectively the best. Has the best screen res and is only $300.

These kikestarters are market testers, the people working on the product use them to gauge interest and the actual investors, when they see that interest exists, will give them a couple million to actually make the product. There's no way they can develop and produce a HMD like this, nor should they really need a mere 200k that badly after already having released a decently successful HMD.

Pimax is 4K for less than that, although OSVR probably has a better quality screen, resolution aside

im pretty sure the point isnt to get 200k, the point is to show investors that there is demand. companies like disney and bmw are involved.


Why do i have to do that? im getting tired of hur dur where da vido games!

why is it everyone tolerates these assholes? they come into random threads shit on it even though they could easily go to another thread because they dont like it no one can talk about it.

Whoever made this image needs a smack upside the head, at least be subtle with your troll.

Is there even a computer that will be able to run that resolution at the framerate required for VR?

but that's the approximate megapixel and response time of your eye.

you need a gtx 1070 or above i think.

You're on Holla Forums, which is ostensibly for video games. If you want to jerk off about how cool some headset with no games is, >>>Holla Forums is over there.

What is the 8k x? It literally says there's no noticeable difference, but it costs 100$ more.

To be fair, most idiots are running super high res and also using AA. Which is…fucking moronic. You can squeeze a LOT more performance in higher resolution just by turning off AA. When the pixels are small enough (or the pixel density is high enough, whichever way you want to put it) then aliasing and stair-casing are no longer noticeable, esp when the game is in motion.
obviously it isn't a magic bullet, and 4K gaming is going to be a strain no matter what, let ALONE 8 FUCKING K, but it does make a noticeable difference

No, or at least not until foveated rendering is incorporated. Maybe in a decade the average high-end PC will be able to run 8K 90fps.

vr has always been about video games, and you do realize without tech there is no video games.

>>>/tg/

Yeah, I don't really even care about aliasing and stair-casing myself, this isn't the year of 1280x1024 anymore, and typically the game is going so fast that do you really get so fucking distracted and hypnotized when you see artifacts?

I have a Samsung GearVR and despite using my phone as a screen it doesn't look as bad as 3 of the things in the OP. VR has got to be the biggest dissociation between "what people think it is" and "what it really is" that I've ever seen.

I'm not saying OP is guilty of all of these but that gif is some fucking bait. I've used an Oculus crystal cove prototype (whichever consumer model that ended up being), a Vive, and the Gear VR and they're all serviceable. I have never seen less-informed people than the ones in VR threads arguing over shit they literally do not even understand.

OP is just a shill trying to get people to pay for that kickstarter.

I see 3 problems:

I have DK2 (formerly known as "Crystal Cove"), and it's not great or anything. Yeah it's "1080p" (990x1080 per eye), but it's still got the whole noticeable pixels problem. I can see the individual pixels, which is known under the nomenclature "screen dooring."

I have to say that part of the problem I would associate with Oculus Rift is the smell. These things show up on your doorstep and they smell like a leather factory, and it's like fucking overpowering, I am physically nauseated by the smell of it. And then strap that on for 3 hours and play Dear Esther or something else, and see how gross you feel.

Honestly, they should have gone out of their way to ship it with a neutral smell, because the smell of fresh leather is just nasty.

Just wait until that smell mixes with your own unique scent of sweat and decay.

t. Fencer

Good to know, similarly the thing I hated about old VR was the awful "theater" effect.
I want the display to be all of my vision with no dead blank spaces and the apparent pixel representation is also an important aspect.
Glad I dodged the 1st wave of this nu-VR.

I don't know if you just threatened my life or called me some really awful thing.

I do hope you hooknosed shitskins bring a second video game market crash with this shit though.

I'm impressed that they're promising to ship this in four or five months I guess. Usually it's a much longer period claimed.


You need AA for looking at waifus, no other game needs it

Is there a display that can run 8k at 90+fps for hours on end inches from your eyes that won't cook your brain like a softboiled egg?

1. I didn’t sage.
2. I am now, because it fucking triggers you.
3. Reported for not even trying.

...

That's because the source code was leaked, and instead of being cucks about it, GSC just said "fuck it, you guys can have it".

Which was pretty much the only good thing that company has done since the release of CoP.

...

If I don't use the money that I earn then why do I work?

I'm still not convinced VR isn't going to go the way of 3D gaming and motion control.
It's just a really expensive gimmick.

They break that shit by years all the time.

Maybe if it had good videogames that fully took advantage of the technology I can see it getting large. As of right now I haven't seen a cool mecha or dogfighting game, that shot would sell me an HMD on the spot.

Also a fencer here; is referring to the unique smell that the inside of your fencing mask accumulates over time it's actually nostalgic for me

I'm ready for this stupid gimmick to die again like it did in the '90s.

That's a funny way to say "rancid"

it just like slightly less shitty

You're not wrong, but for whatever reason your personal mask never really smells bad. Unless you never washed it, then it was toxic

are you sure that's not just your nasty breath clinging to the cloth over time. the carbon dioxide mixed with oil residue sweat and bacteria might be the cause. clean your fucking mask.

...

id want to solve the performance bottleneck with just the regular one first, cut it down for atleast another quarter

...

id prefer the HTC, should I actually use VR for SOME reason, since the colors don't seem to split

Let's contribute to the Xray engine together~!

They use 2 4k displays, not a single 8k panel

No, it's alternating 180Hz, so it's actually 90Hz.

...

...

Most people are idiots who refuse to run settings other than HIGHEST-MAXIMUM-ULTRA-MEGA-GIGA. A fucking phone can run 4k if you hold back on bullshit-expensive shaders a bit. But you know how it is with these faggots, having 10x better performance is not at all compensating for less realistic shine on rat's asshole.

If you didn't know, the gtx 10 series (1070,1080 etc) almost doubles VR framerate from the 900 gtx series and all other cards. They designed a way to render the second screen without any extra rendering.

How can you type when you are clearly illiterate?

The way of 3D gaming? 3D gaming is what using a HMD is, user. 3D monitors made it clear for a wider audience meaning wider than the previously existing very niche HMD enthusiasts how amazing getting a sense of depth in games was, but also how hopelessly limited the keyhole view a monitor gives you is for immersion. That's why when the promise of above VGA resolution HMDs with descent viewing angles that didn't cost $5,000 seemed to be coming within reach all focus shifted towards developing them.

Keep going, I want to know if anyone will ever beat the (105)

It already is dying. Intel just dropped its vr project because the few people who car about vr are already watching other projects.

That just means it's hard to break into the market since there are already big players competing who have it basically locked down, and Intel doesn't have anything to offer that doesn't already exist.

just dropped by to call op a faggot

Sounds great, but not even a Titan XP could push enough frames for that 90hz display.

nothing is gonna be able to fucking run that thing

Games like Q3 can run hundreds of frames per second in 8k.

Can't wait to play all those demo in glorious 8k!
VR HAS NO GAMES

This is blast processing tier.

...

yeah because nothing is worse than replying to your own thread. or would you have me post and dash.

Lets be civil here leave the guy alone. What'd he do to you?

So is VR trying to be relevant again? I thought it was dying already, they starve if they go one month without game journos reporting on the amazing advances and features of VR that nobody else seem to notice or like. Anyway the obvious matter here is , how can this enhance my porn games ?

Wasn't the (105) from one autist single-handedly fueling a wallpaper thread?

The technology for VR is there.
The biggest problem is that almost NOBODY HAS A COMPUTER POWERFUL ENOUGH TO RENDER TWO 3840x2160 DISPLAYS AT 90 FUCKING HERTZ EACH.

Your statement is like saying your monitor doesn't have games

The only purpose I see so far is for various contractors who can afford a powerful enough computer. The aforementioned Disney and BMW can use it for VR rides and car simulations; I can also see the military using those for training sims like embed related.

I haven't even bought the vive yet. That said this 8k VR headset, isn't even a 16:9 full sized 8k screen. It's half that size. But hey, at least it's the wide half so it's technically right, and you can convince normalfags their getting something better than they are.


With their last product they tried claiming other VR head sets are pixilated messes. Pic related.

Basically, their 8k headset is them slapping 2 full sized 4k screen side by side and calling it 8k. This is easier to demonstrate with actually numbers. So we're all familiar 1080p which is 1980 x 1080p or 2k. If you slap to screen side by side, you get 3960 x 1080p or 4k but it's also still just a 1080p screen. Don't get me wrong, this is a interesting way to make a better product, it's just marketed in a scummier way.

Also i think that second pic is deceptive. It looks extremely zoomed in, intentionally showing the other headsets in ways you will not. For gods sake, with the HTC Vive you see a scan line. Get a fucking better camera or synchronize it!


While i did just blow up at these people for being sac of scum, they already have a VR product out there, which is a 4k headset. I don't know how much i trust the specification since it's easy for someone to see 4k, and fill in the standard data; but assuming the sales site i went isn't mistaken, it uses a full 4k panel. They also showed the devices at some convention and got feed back if the kickstarter trailer is to be believed.


How much does it cost to game with 2, 4k monitors being treated as one?


I don't trust, but at this time i don't have evidence to say any of this is false.


Electricity was a gimick. Do you know how long it took the light bulb to become mainstream?!


Wow… It actually was OP.


hmmm… Isn't think saying 75, to 90hz per screen? It's just that, you're updating the screens asynchronously?


Because he wants to know why people would paid for even more expensive device when the current market is already failing.


Well their kick starting it because they like money… No serious, does no one understand that people use kickstarter for free money? How many successful game developers have returned to kickstart to kickstart their sequel? They currently have a 4k version on the market. By 4k i mean it has 1 full size 4k screen in it. With that, they don't need kickstarter.

twice the resolution. It's 8k in width only, not height.

Anyone responding to this shit thread after this is a fucking retard who either is a shill or doesnt read the thread before posting.
You dont get more shill than getting triggered by jew memes

Why? The majority of people's hardware can't run 4k at a high enough framerate for VR.

oh look another vr headset that is going to be fucking expensive and we still don't have any games for it

...

Many (regular) games can be played in VR if you're willing to spend hours setting them up

I have more fun making VR games than I do playing VR games

I feel like I got my moneys worth out of the meme. I also made some back selling assets (not this) and might make a VR game still.

The limiting factor was less the keyhole view / limited FOV but the missing headtracking. Normal stereoscopic 3d displays just feel wrong when you move your head as the perspective doesn't change accordingly. That's the main benefit for HMDs with positional tracking, there's much less irritation preventing the feeling of presence. Stereoscopic 3d on a normal display could provide an experience almost as good as VR if it came with a headtracker, you'd perceive the display as a window into the virtual world.

Wow an even more expensive version of that incredibly expensive and niche peripheral that no developer will ever make full use of since they can't even code reflections in mirrors anymore.

Oh boy!

but those displays are tiny, it doesn't matter how large the display is as long as it's the size of a cell phone you can easily render it.

You had my hopes up, I thought it was a VR remake of simcopter by maxis until you whipped out the AK.
