Getting Immersed in VR with the HTC Vive

CGM Writes: Gaming is constantly evolving, trying to provide a more engaging and more immersive experience. Limitations of the medium have restricted immersion to remain mostly in the realms of storytelling and character engagement. Which is in no way a bad thing, but personally, I’ve wanted TRON to be a real thing for almost my whole life.

"Well, there’s a couple of different ways to think about it. You can think about it like quality tiers, per-say. So you’ve got your entry level, very accessible things like Google Cardboard. Then you move to something like the Gear VR which still uses a phone but much more premium, higher fidelity experience.

And then you get into console-based VR, which is going to be PlayStation Morpheus, and one of the things there is that you’re somewhat limited by the capabilities of the hardware inside of the PlayStation. You can’t actually expand and make the PlayStation more powerful to give you a more immersive experience. It’s going to be the best it can for the hardware that’s inside that system.

And then you have PC-powered VR, which is Oculus and HTC. It’s the highest fidelity, most premium, most immersive experience possible. But what separates us from Oculus is the Room Scale. And so, from a resolution perspective, and refresh rate and latency perspective, Oculus and HTC are very similar, but what sets us apart is the ability to move around and explore the virtual world."

well there you have it, as i said all along

It's wonderful to see studios investing in virtual reality concepts. Maestro, Coaster Mania, Dixotomia, and Bounce Arcade all seem quite intriguing. Miracle Pool would be my top pick.

It seems this confirms that the N4G community's interest in VR gaming only matters when it's about PSVR2, as I appear to be the only one who watched the entire presentation dedicated to VR gaming.

I watched. But don't worry about the reaction of N4G.

I'm getting there...jeez, give me some time lol

No problem, it's an impressive showcase with a plethora of intriguing ideas, such as the inclusion of mixed reality. My only complaint is the absence of platform games similar to Moss or Astrobots. Regarding my comments, they're a playful dig at the idea that I posted the story on June 26.

I just finished it. I'm afraid to comment because I'll probably fit the stereotype too well lol

LOL no worries, not all games can have the budget of Resident Evil 7 or Halflife Alyx :)
