I don't get it. Everyone has conversations all the time in all kinds of multiplayer games, either with voice or text.

Why just not have a real conversation?


Because a real conversation has no value for datamining and is not interrupted by ads....

Reading stuff like that just confirms for me that this technology is no longer for games

We don't want a 2 billion person mmo, aka facebook VR edition. We want VR in our video games. That's what you were initially backed to deliver

http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Tools-and-Technology/Second-Life-s-Oculus-Rift-Integration-is-Ready-for-Beta-Testers/ba-p/2544572

Also, Second Life was popular because of sex and stuff. Facebook is NEVER going to allow any x-rated content (which is the main draw for the Oculus I can assure you) so any VR world they attempt to make, will most likely fail.

Do you have any idea how many alternatives to Second Life have popped up over the years with better tech and graphics only to fail because they didn't allow freedom of content?

They did - he just looks terrible on purpose and has his graphics settings all the way down. You now got proper custom mesh, the ability to add normals and speculars on textures, formfitting mesh, physics, etc.

@red_avatar Wink

I logged in just to see what would happen.

I am quite surprised that after almost 8 years of inactivity I succeeded Very Happy
Both my Kobolt and Wyvern (dragon sorta) avatars still loaded pretty well.

But, the only landmarks I knew still alive is Svarga Isle which remain almost unchanged but turned into some sort of relic place.

[Off topic mode OFF]

Nevertheless, Second life with Oculus Rift support should be interesting, I will keep an eyes on this.

I got to visit a local VR studio earlier this week and got to try the pre-crystal cove hd prototype and their game.
The jump to full HD screen was pretty significant and while the screen door was still there, it no longer bothered me.
It's still pretty low res, but still a big improvement.
This information isn't very useful though since it's not the same screen DK2 will have.

Their game was an adventure game set on a colony on mars or titan or somesuch.
It looked like it could be pretty interesting.
They just released their first screenshot recently:
 Spoiler:
 


I also got to try the steam controller.
Compared to an analog stick controller, it's better but still shit for fps games.
But for any mouse controlled 2d games or games where fps-like speed and accuracy isn't required it should be pretty good.

It's rather sad but Second Life has a ton of potential for creative people. Combined with the Oculus it would be a fun platform for people who want to get into 3D design but the community has dwindled and Linden Labs should have dropped prices for land ages ago to stimulate people to join up. As it is, a small home costs $15 a month which is ridiculous. Servers costs are maybe 5-10% of what they were 10 years ago in terms of power so they could easily slash those prices in half.

If they also upgraded the mesh models on avatars, it could draw in a fresh crowd.

Looks kind of retarded. I'm guessing 10 years from now though, they'll have some pretty cool stuff.


I think it'll progress even slower, but yes.
