Unfinished: Out of Ammo 04/20/2016

oh boy video games

Hello Dan 'head bob' Ryckert!

VR is here.

Quite a thumbnail.

Why isn't this an hour and a half long?

being able to move around (a little) in a VR game is great...but dealing with cables like that makes me wanna steer clear of the vive.

Sniper Elite would be awesome in VR if they did a similar thing with the scope.

This is a game I'd get VR for. I love tower defense stuff.

thanks for helping Dan's unsteady ass not eat shit Jason! this looks super fun

Unity engine represent, the VR gaymes are flowing forth.

Might be worth mentioning that this is made by the new studio from Dean Hall, the guy who created DayZ and worked on Arma games before. I like the idea of him using stuff about realistic game mechanics learned from games like those and using those in a much more arcade-y style of game to just make the simple act of shooting more interesting and fun.

If you like the gun stuff you guys should check out Raw Data. It's got a ton of weapons which all have cool, intuitive ways to reload them.

It's weird now that VR videos are just commonplace parts of our culture now. And how Jason has to come in to assist in damn near all of them.

Always be ammo'ing

You need to get your own Jason to manage the cables for you.

It was 13 minutes! I knew there had to be something wrong. I was convinced this was a 30 minute video and couldn't get over how fast 30 minutes flew by. Turns out it was a 13 minute video, my faith in my sense of time has been restored.

you could say it's... quick...

do you think it would make it better or worse to run the wire through your shirt and pant leg?

Put Dan in a VR headset and sure enough chaos will ensue.

Game looks okay too.

A quick quick look :p

@naion: The thing that's tripping up Dan is the extra cable they're running for audio. They don't seem to have attached it to the headset's cable in any way, so it separates and gets wrapped around him. It might also be too short. The cable has been a non-issue in my experience, except when I put the Vive in a huuuuuge room and walk to the other side, and even then it's just a gentle tugging at the back of my head.

it's going to be a hectic game

The more I see the GB team take a look at VR games out now, the more I don't want any of these games. For my tastes, VR still needs to cook for another five years.

Oh man, more crappy VR games!

It seems so dumb that the Vive exists with those wires to trip over. Especially in America where everyone sues at the drop of a hat. Glad it does though. ;)

Seems like that's always the way for VR sadly.

I think clipping the cable to your belt would help with the management as you wouldn't have as much weight pulling on the headset. Maybe use one of those streachy key holders that stretch out and then retract when tension is removed.

Is that a nod to Prince their by Jeff, "I don't believe in watches"

One of my favourite recent trends in videos on Giant Bomb has to be Jeff's genuine amusement to Dan's adverse reactions / experiences in VR.

There is something about this that reminds me of playing with little green army men in my bedroom as a kid. I think I might be OK with that.

This makes me want a modern Black & White game.

I like the concept of this game but am really disappointed that they went with the generic and terrible "middle eastern" type for the enemies. Game Devs, you can do better.

But you just shoot the bad guys! It's easy for modern audiences to understand!

The Vive technically only has one wire going from it, as all 3 wires that come out of it are attached into one big wire. They're only having trouble with it because they have extra cables because of their audio setup.

That's a VR game I could get behind.

"I'm God now"

-Ryckert 2016

ISIS brought middle-eastern enemies back into vogue, and Putin's shenanigans have done the same for Russians. I think God ran out of ideas for the human race and just handed off the reigns to Tom Clancy's ghost.

I can't wait for VR to go cordless.

Looks like fun, can't wait to try it out.

I can hardly put into words how not fun it is to watch other people play VR games. Hopefully this fad dies off soon and we can get a GB video product worth paying for again.

This "fad" will die off when the "fad" of video games dies off. So, probably never. VR ain't going nowhere, it's only just barely getting started.

@picklebucket: If you've been paying for Quick Looks someone's ripping you off.

As has probably been said, you really do develop a sixth sense for the cable and it stops being an issue real quick. It looked like they just had some funky issue on set due to their weird studio setup, because the audio cable, for example, should never, ever pop out for any reason.

Even in a game where you spin around a lot, you'll "unwind" maybe once an hour at most. It's a super minor issue once you actually use the thing for an extended period.
