First (?) Sega VR footage

What do you think about this video?

 

Absolutely amazing. Where did you get the vid?

BTW, thanks for sharing it and welcome to the boards!:thumbsup:

 

It's a video from a cool YT channel, it's interesting but not very saw because the tags are inaccurate, so I thought that it was better to link it in a right forum, and what forum is better than assembler? Thanks for the welcome!

 

Wow.

I never believed that it was totally vapor...I was sure they worked on it...I just never knew they actually showed it.

 

wow, looks like a moving headache!

 

I have a few of the unreleased VR Games for the Genesis/Mega Drive

 

This is SO fucking awesome!! I didnt know the VR was so far into development that it was actually playable.

Why the hell SEGA didnt release it? this thing was going to move more units that the SCD and 32X combined, even if it gave some headaches.

And the graphics, its looks pretty good for something that ran on stock Genesis hardware. I wonder if combined with the SCD it could run Doom. Do you guys imagine how cool it would've been to play Doom with that thing?

I would've bought one for sure.

 

Wonder if any of these made it into the hands of collectors...

 

so its games ran on standard Md hardware?

which games do u have? how do you control them? (d-pad?)

 

The guy on the video seems to be using a standard pad for targeting, and the VR just looks around.

 

According to people in Sega, they were afraid of people playing it while crossing the street (saw it tons of times with people with gameboys) and senseless stuff like that.

If you ask me, it sounds like an extremely lame excuse made by the Sega VR developement crew while being aimed with a shotgun on the basement of Nintendo headquarters...

 

Quite a bunch of them, actually.

 

Can we get to see some screenshots of these VR games you have DRX?

Edit: or is that a silly request? do these games even work without the VR helmet?

 

that looks awesome! i'd actually want to where that out on the town.

it would be interesting to know the games that they had playable.

 

To drx: show me the games:nod:

And how the hell could people do that? by carrying a Genesis, a car batery and the VR? they would develop a serious back injury before a car would hit 'em:lol:

And of all the crap that Sega was saying about Nintendo at the time that comment must be the lesser one, almost a friendly one...

 

Hasbro Toaster / Immersion / Takara Dynovisor: http://www.secinfo.com/d1dzf.a6.d.htm
Atari VR HMD / Philips Scuba /
SEGA V.R. (better than Virtual Boy, which has nothing to do with VR).
The game looks like walking around with the mech from Soulstar Mega CD

None of them ever happened. People never were ready for it.
Even with the Wii. They don't understand it's value, the revolution.
Most of the people do have symptoms of motion sickness when playing.
Primitive mouse & keyboard. Take a trackball or glove and build TRON worlds.
I think I'm going to buy the VFX3D HMD
Let's go Cyberjobe!

 

I would like one

I wonder what kind of VR could be made with today's tech if a company really invested in it, like nintendo did with motion controllers in the Wii.
