Oculus + Kinect + Skyrim

Get rid of those controllers with this new mod that allows users to truly immerse themselves in the world of skyrim.

This is a small preview of what to expect at E3

Muffins12234009d ago

Thats a little to much for me Hahaha

DA_SHREDDER4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

agreed, dude looks like a total douche, lmao

konnerbllb4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

Who cares what he looks like, are you looking for a date?

malokevi4008d ago

I think its a cool idea. The way he moves forward would destroy my neck, though.

Jyndal4009d ago

Jeez...when are people, as well as game designers, going to get the idea?

When I want to do something physical, I go outside and hike. When I want to veg out on the couch, I game.
Simple, really.

Bigpappy4009d ago

I got an idea. Just don't buy the game.

SilentNegotiator4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

Great idea!

SilentNegotiator4009d ago

No wait, buy the game (on PC), but not the other stuff.

elhebbo164009d ago

I have to disagree, some of us like the immersion. and sometimes real life is just, well, boring.

malokevi4008d ago

Yea and when I wanna go to war I just hop on the next plane to Syria with weapons and ammunition.

Shadonic4008d ago

Then do that there really not forcing it unless the entire game only works with kinect. your speaking as if bethesda didn't release the game without any kinect functionality a year ago. Stop hating on anything that's motion controlled and open your eyes you still have your base options you love to play with, you just want to complain. I love crashing out on the couch for hours playing games and eating snacks as much as the next guy but that dosnt mean you should just totally cast away the ones that do enjoy that style of playing the game because it gives them a better sense of immersion of walking through skyrim then your normal couch and controller does.

Hmmm, these fads often come back every decade or so, I remember in the 80's virtual reality was big, in the 90's it was big again, especially with movies and things like Virtual Boy, and now I guess it's time for it to come back for a bit.

Scenarist4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

hopefully tech has advanced to the point where it can be done proper ..

the way I see it , we are to the point were we just need to get latency down to within a few ms and all is looking good

fr0sty4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

I think it's here to stay this time. This is the first time it's been tried where the hardware was actually powerful enough to render a convincing virtual world that wasn't a bunch of untextured polygons or monochrome 2d or basic wireframe 3d with no textures.

Not to mention the first time true head tracking without nasty lag has been available in a commercial VR kit.

chobit_A5HL3Y4009d ago

this stuff is always better in theory lolz having to play actual games like this is unpractical and a novelty at best. imo, anyways~ this is the stuff you'd show off to people when they come over to your house, but i'd say the majority of people just like to sit back and play their games rather than lean and wave their arms around~

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast21d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22921d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko21d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave21d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan21d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
