Vive Demo

Hey, thanks for helping spread the word. Do you have VIVE and tried the demo? It's great, isn't it? I never really paid attention to VR stuff before but 2 minutes with this game in VR and I am sold. There's nothing like it, it is really like being at sea on a U-boat.

And welcome to Subsim.

Thanks! I've lurked for years (since Jane's 688i!) and found that my account wasn't being recognized, but it probably got purged.

Could I add my excitement at this development.

Surely VR has to have a significant future for simulation gaming? It's one of those things that you can't explain to anyone. You have to try it. It's like Neal says. A couple of minutes with a piece of good kit and you wonder why the whole world isn't beating a path to its door.

What a great opportunity for someone like Neal on the inside of a development team to drive this forward.

Thanks, David.

Yes, after 5 minutes of VR in the North Atlantic, I can see the return of the military simulation, a new round of tanksims, helosims, flightsims, and subsims all utilizing the new VR tech. The military sims have been dormant the last few years, but this tech is screaming for a resurgence.

Yes, that's it. Things had plateaued. It was a case of doing the same things but a bit better - no difference in any of the basic game concepts. I thought 3D might have offered an opportunity but it still seemed to lack something. I guess that something was actually being inside the 3D using VR.
