JSparks (DayZ) 109 Posted June 13, 2013 Or you could just continue to play it on your pc. In that comfortable chair you love, in your study rather than your lounge room.Call me conservative but I feel very little attraction to this at all. It will just make gaming harder, and I'm sure there will be exploits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kra 151 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) It's not about whether its harder or not, its all about the immersion, its about literally putting yourself inside the game.I don't see myself buying the treadmill for home, but I definitely see myself going down to the local VRcade with some mates and running around like idiots inside an almost tangible virtual world.Regarding multiplayer, as someone using Rift+Omni (or even just Rift) you wouldn't want to be in the same servers are KB+Mouse+Screen people. It's like comparing PC multiplayer to console multiplayer. The same level of precision is just not there (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Greg-UK4 31 Posted June 13, 2013 yeah, imagine the 45 minutes of constant running to get to stary, also - what would you do for vehicle transitions? walk to car, get out of omni, sit in chair, enter car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoulHunter (DayZ) 233 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) A known tech and product. But yeah, it can also be used with only those glasses, so u can still play with mouse+keyboard if desired to.. =) Edited June 13, 2013 by SoulHunter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoik 415 Posted June 27, 2013 I ran across this omni-diectional treadmill the other day while druling over the occulus rift, this definatly needs more attention on the dayz forums - its quite amazing where things are heading!heres someone playing TF2, while I don't think that this type of shooter is where this type of divice shines, I think TF2 has really good support for the Occulus rift which is probably why they are experimenting with it.

terminal_boy 860 Posted June 27, 2013 Unless Oculus tripled the resolution of the Rift, fixed the "screen door" problem and improved the optics so that the whole screen is in focus for each display panel since I got my hand's on a Rift last month; I call bullshit on all those videos. Don't forget the motion sickness it causes either. I don't get motion sickness, but I was ready to lose lunch after 10 minutes using the Rift Dev Kit.Yes, the Rift is an amazing piece of technology and it may just deliver on it's promises some day if R&D is properly funded, but it's not playable today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feral (DayZ) 622 Posted June 27, 2013 Mo Farrah's agent announced that the long distance runner will cease training on a track and start playing DayZ on the Omni.ps - be sweet if the base tilted to match hills, imagine chasing some fat kid up green mountain =) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drayson 158 Posted June 27, 2013 This is obviously an idea for people who want more exercise while playing games than those who just want the traditional setup. Even in limited use it would be a pretty fun way to get some walking/jogging in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was so they could churn out the massive amount of dev kits requested. The newer kits have 1080p screens, and that's only going to improve in the consumer version. Your motion sickness complaint isn't right either. You get motion sickness because you're physically not moving yourself but your brain is telling you that you are moving, often at high speeds -- this can be overcome by easing into the oculus little by little. It's actually a compliment when you think of the fact a bit of hardware and software is evoking true physical responses, like vertigo and motion sickness.Motion sickness is pretty much eliminated when playing with the omni because instead of your brain just thinking you're moving yourself, you're actually moving yourself.You have a very fast and loose definition of "not playable" by any standard. :rolleyes: Edited June 27, 2013 by Nihilum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RollingLizard1 33 Posted June 27, 2013 Omni- that's one way to add fatigue to DayZ. I'm sure after playing DayZ 4+ hours a day not only would you be able to enter the Boston marathon but also win it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aporis 422 Posted June 27, 2013 was thinking this a week ago, just with the oculus rift it would be so immersive to play DayZ on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de4dcert 246 Posted June 27, 2013 At the very least I'm going to be picking up a retail oculus rift. If the support for the omni is there too seriously considering it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thehero 119 Posted June 27, 2013 I honestly think if they buffed out all the kinks and such with these two products I would get it just because I know dayz sa will eat a lot of my time and this would be a great way to get a lot of cardio training in! Hell maybe when the real zed Apocalypse happens I will be able to out run the zombies! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmashT 10907 Posted June 28, 2013 Are people really going to buy a huge ass treadmill to play games with? I'm excited for the Rift but the Omni just looks ridiculous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
