hmmmm games may go to a scary place one day

sonarus3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Never used the Oculus Rift but i will say this. If this is less precise or more of a hassle than playing games with regular controller and regular tv then i am not interested.

That being said i have said it before that i would rather see virtual reality gaming in this gen than some more lame as motion tech that wii started 7 yrs ago. I was however hoping for real virtual gaming like in the movies and i seriously doubt this peripheral will be able to do that or any peripheral for that matter at least not for a couple yrs.

I really don't want to have to wear this big ass device on my head.

An HMD and a mo-cap camera could be what is needed to really put you in the game.

On a side note, I hope you can have multiple HMD's work with the system. Having to share one is a bit of an inconvenience. Nothing deal breaking but you just got to sit there and wait your turn.

kingmushroom3887d ago

i did at E3 its some crazy tech and this will put you in the game, i can't wait to get my hands on these for pS4

Its all about immersion. The mini screens which simulate watching a movie in a giant theater combine with the move would be great.

I was actually going to pick the sony 3d personal viewer a year ago, but held off due to price tag.

I got to try it at a Sony store in Las Vegas and it was cool, but I can see it becoming heavy after a while. I think it was also only 720p. I looked other personal viewers and the one below 500 USD don't really show HD and some even have the screendoor effect most common with LCD screens.

All I can say is I'm looking forward to when virtual gaming is perfected and I can look back and say to my kids, ''when I was your age we had to play games on a TV''

Viper73887d ago

Wait till the Japanese get their hands on it.
Oh wait!

ForgottenProphecy3887d ago

Better than Oculus Rift? Hmm. Let me play this thing with PS Move and Killzone, and I'm sold

inmusicutrust3887d ago

That would make my ps sharp shooter for the move that much better. I dream of the day.

pyramidshead3886d ago

Sony are aiming for a better specced system than OR apparently. So it should be a bit of a beast when it comes out. Price is gonna be a bitch though I bet.

ForgottenProphecy3886d ago

I'll pay $200 for a device like this no questions asked. $300 I'll probably strongly consider buying it, maybe after trading some games at Gamestop, and anything over $300 I'll wait for a pricedrop. I'm sure many gamers have a similar take on this.

Gamingcapacity3887d ago

If they can get the price right it could be huge.

kneon3887d ago

I expect it to launch along side the first version of GT for the PS4. These would be ideal for driving games.

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows902h ago(Edited 2h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot53m ago(Edited 51m ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel198928m ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot25m ago(Edited 24m ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw2h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno2h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
