GTA1/2/Chinatown Wars-style top-down wacko 3D with roofs of buildings almost poking you in the eye!

Like, shit, just Animal Crossing-style weird rolling world unfolding in front of you would be so pleasant, or side-scroller with stupid levels of parallax or or or ...

Rez is like peak VR experience. Such a rich fucking vein, I'm sure it runs deep

I feel like VR really suffers under the weight of its own fantasy, the idea that it is VIRTUAL REALITY, this immersive thing that simulates a space you inhabit, when I actually just want to make a shmup that you play on the inside of a sphere that you sit inside with particles spraying in your face

I'd hella want to dev something for VR, though. I am probably completely deluded about what the market wants, but there are so many things you could do that are not hardcore FPS stuff that would be so goddamn cool and interesting and different and fresh and delightful ...

The big question is which SKU it'll be cheaper than. Cheaper than the stand-alone headset at 539? Extremely sold. Cheaper than the full kit at 1079? Hmmmm-hmmm, well, certainly try before I buy

The Frame looks pretty decent, though. If it's sub-€1000 I just might finally get a goddamn VR headset, if it's more like ~€500 I will definitely get a goddamn VR headset

Nothing prevents you from being immersed in the realization of the fundamental stereotypical except all the violence you have wrought upon yourself in order to protect yourself from it

There is nothing stopping you

just

letting

A cage so big you can not see the bars until you climb the highest point and let your eyes rest until they can glimpse the infinite glimmering faintly in the distance is still a cage

"Is this the dying gasp of an increasingly irrelevant form on what is already an irrelevant outlet struggling to sustain a top-down model of authoritative meanings disseminated not for any useful purpose but simply to provide grist for the endless content mill of modern post-economic publishing?"

Ah, you just need to git guud bro, level up, what good are you if you can't turn slop into gold, just relinquish control bro, just let it happen, surrender, submit, it only hurts because you are fighting, shhhhhhhhhh

Well, in one sense it's kind of a tender mercy since it prepares them for not going to college, not having stable employment, not having social mobility, not having a family and not owning a home. Sets them up real nice for the future!

Ahhh, yeah, that explains a thing or two. Was that running on GPU as well?

Always thought the tension was that it's not entirely clear what is being celebrated, in true British fashion
