That’s a great point, but there’s no way they’ll get a new title. It means we’ll be seeing some new edition of DS3 or Bloodborne, at best.

That said, I cannot imagine trying to play a Souls game in 5-10 minute bursts while having to contend with the outside world in any capacity....

True enough. I don’t think N has tried to compete with anyone in decades, and this looks like the same type of move. Again, I have multiple devices already that can do exactly this, but I can’t play a new Zelda game on them... so, take my money.


Hah, no knock on Nintendo, as I want one of these.. but they have’t exactly “figured anything out” here. Said it above, but this is an Nvidia Shield with Nintendo games on it.

Apart from having a dedicated dock rather than just an HDMI cord, it’s basically the same exact thing. But hey, I freaking love my Shield, so

It’s really closer to an NVidia Shield (in both design and specs from what I’ve read)... Shield basically has the same functionality as Switch, but it can also play the entire Android game library and function as an open-ended tablet that can run emulators and homebrew stuff...

The only really special thing about this

Except, didn’t we kind of learn from the Vita that people don’t want to play console titles on the go?

I’m not crapping on this thing, I’ll buy one just for first party games, but speaking as someone who loves the Vita, I virtually never play the “console titles” on it. I can’t see this being much different... Playing

I’m not attempting to change your mind on Snyder, or argue any problems the movie may have in your mind... I’m just trying to get you to understand that just because this is how you personally interpreted the scene’s meaning, it’s not necessarily what it meant. (Which granted, could certainly be considered a flaw in

Please. Enough with this, internet.

I’ll admit, I really like Snyder’s work, but I’d like to think I’m pretty objective in general, and this whole Martha thing just seems like such an absurd misunderstanding to me...

I’ll grant that this is just my personal take on it, but I did not for one second get from that scene

It’s hands-down my favorite experience of anything I’ve played in VR yet, on any platform, ever. It’s short (like, less than an hour if you plowed through it), but the Riddler challenges extend it quite a bit.

It’s in the top couple, if not the single most immersive experience available on PsVR, and not nearly as

Good point. I was forgetting 90% of that game was all preexisting assets...

Hah, but yeah man, leaning over railings is a trip in that game. This was not my first VR experience by a long shot, but it was the first one that actually gave me a feeling of vertigo or fear. Hell, just that elevator sequence when you’re

Well, that’s kind of a different argument; now you’re talking about why VR development is not important enough to major game developers/publishers for them to concern themselves with adding support for it to their existing games, and for that you just have to think numbers/logistics...

Couldn’t agree more. I sincerely doubt we’ll see a follow-up, and we definitely won’t see a full-scale Arkham game (as the dev costs would be prohibitive for how small the VR user-base is), but man alive would I love to have that. So many missed opportunities...

The fact that they implemented the whole batarang system

Because we’re still in the infancy of commercial gaming in VR?

Yes, VR has existed for decades, and there’s been games, but this is the first time there’s been a concerted effort by major developers/publishers to crack into it, and frankly, they haven’t really figured out what works yet.

You can’t just shoe-horn

It’s amazing how subjective VR sickness is... Not even just on a basis of who is prone to it, but more on what causes it per person.

I’ve played a good 10 or so races of the DriveClub VR demo, and not felt even the slightest hint of sickness, but the 3rd-person platforming in PlayRoomVR literally took about 20 seconds

That’s not really true... It has always been a word in English (apparently based on the Latin word for seasick), it just used to mean something else.

Originally it meant something that caused nausea, but now it is also accepted as meaning feeling sick, by most dictionaries. Language continually evolves.

I’m not exactly sure what the difference with Cardboard is (as nothing on Cardboard has ever made me sick either, but I’ve felt it in PsVR), but I’d have to assume it’s from the significantly less pronounced 3D, field of view, depth of field, etc...

The difference in them is immediately apparent if you wear glasses

I never suggested comparing his level of celebrity to hers...

I agree he doesn’t have the world-wide renown of a Kardashian, but I’d certainly consider him as “A-list” as any internet personality could possibly be... He is consistently listed in the top influencers and is I believe the hands-down, highest earner on

I agree; I don’t bother in 99.9% of cases, but I still don’t understand the concerted push to stop people from doing so. There’s no risk to the end-consumer whatsoever. You want out, you cancel it, end of story...

Granted, in large numbers you could falsely inflate the projected sales of a title and cause some trouble

I’m sure there is a “first!” mentality to it for some people, but I could see real use-case for it too...

Games usually release on Tuesdays, and I work 60+ hours during the week. If you said to me, “Hey, sign a non-binding, easily cancelled contract to purchase this game, and I’ll let you play it the weekend prior to

Um, apart from a much lower barrier to entry, what’s the difference between YouTube and TV, radio, movies, books, etc? There’s “crap” that’s risen to the top in every medium...

I don’t personally have any interest in his content, but I put him on the same level as a Kim Kardashian... IE, someone who offers nothing that

Hah, I would not hold my breath on that... Was just discussing this with somebody else, but from everything I’ve read, if it’s possible at all, it’s going to take a Herculean effort and a whole lot of time.

Even beyond drivers, you’d need an adapter for the camera, firmware updates, some interpreters or apps to sit
