DEVS: VR?

[DAN-di-WARhol]

Any chance of having some degree of VR support? Either full support, or maybe just the image being sent to the headset in left eye / right eye format so that we can play at our keyboards?

Wouldn't a monitor be the better option?

Can you please elaborate what the purpose of VR in a third person game is? I never understood that.

Think about it like a fancy 3d monitor over the shoulder of a character.

See Hellblade and GTA 5 for examples of 3rd person VR done well.

A third person VR game puts you in the world with the character and you get to experience that world from a 3rd person perspective behind the main character. Some AMAZING VR games very similar have been Chronos, Edge of Nowhere and Hellblade.

I don't see how it puts me in the world, cause all it would do is have the screen glued 5 cm in front of my eyes. I guess moving your head is what you think does the immersion? I don't need to change my head all the time to change what I can see, so I don't get that either. In the end, you still use a gamepad, right? Unless you are interacting with the world and your character through VR like in that Alyx Half Life game, I don't get how it can be called VR. It's would just be another depth of 3d.

Try it. You'll understand then.

Can't, get motion sick. Don't want something on my head when trying to relax anyway.

Re: Motion sickness:

I'm a medical professional who uses vr with clients.

Motion sickness is the brain's discomfort with things not matching up e.g. you're upside down in VR and yet your balance sensors are saying you are right way up. Your brain is reacting to uncertainty.

Or, VR frame rate drops / movement lag when you turn your head / low resolution.

For some, that is just about being in VR. Eyes are saying it is real, logic is saying it is not = uncertainty. Brain says "don't like this, stop".

The trick is to keep going. Show your brain it isn't dangerous. Nausea doesn't lead to vomiting for the vast majority. Vomiting has evolved out as the brain's response to danger for obvious reasons (think of running from the tiger and then stopping to vomit).

Remember that exactly the same argument was levelled at the introduction of "3d cards" 30 years ago.

Pointless waste of resources. VR in a THIRD-PERSON game makes no sense at all. VR is for first-person perspectives.

With respect, please do a bit of research on something before you post on it.

VR works fine in 3rd person.

How about stopping enemies from re-spawning in CoS mode? Dungeons are an absolute nightmare... you can't even fall back to regroup or heal. You just run into another gank squad of enemies you already killed 30 seconds ago. Also, Sissna hits way too hard for this mode. It's insane that 90% of people to get this achievement are cheesing or cheating. What gives?

This game is way too easy until the very end when it feels about right. Then if you play on CoS mode it's about right until the very end when it feels like the devs hate the player.

Cool story bro!

Yeah, and add the option to the rolling when it will be succesful only when the player rolls in his(her) room. I wanna see this vr lover who will breath as an old man after 2-3 rolls.

[DAN-di-WARhol]

It's third person vr. What are you talking about? No-one's rolling. This would work fine just like a hundred other 3rd p VR games.

Please do a little research before posting about VR (you're in danger of looking silly). Google is your friend.

Na, I posted everything right. Wanna more realism with ur dumb vr than use ur weak physics abilities too. You like realism, right? Well, let everything be more realistic amd die in every game because of your small limit of strenght too, why not?
