i think its good to wait. i rather there be a lot of game support and less having to manually set up things. also i want the headtracking to just “work”. both tridef and perception just arnt there yet. and for 50 bucks i rather wait for a bit to have a driver that works…..that doesnt feel buggy that feels like a polished driver with many features. i griped before of it taking forever but seeing how both the other solutions in my opinion fail right now (more so tridef considering it costs 50 bucks they should have did more interial testing rather then rushing out a half baked beta that only offically suports nearly as many games (few) that perception does). i can wait a bit for someone to finally get it right. i hope Vorpx will be awesome!
What the hell Mr.Geddings, just a week ago you were screaming at Ralf and calling him a dick for not having a release yet, now you are saying it’s good to wait?
I think you better prepare yourself for disappointment because it doesn’t sound like you understand the fact that ‘retrofitted’ drivers (which is what VorpX is) will never be perfect.
Tridef never ‘pushed out’ a half baked beta, they make it clear on their website that the beta is ‘experimental’ and in a very early state. As well, for those of us who had already purchased Tridef for it’s stereo drivers, the Oculus Rift support is a nice addition to an already great product.
You could almost guarantee that many of the games that VorpX officially ‘supports’ will run at about the same level as many of the games that you can play with Tridef but are currently listed as ‘unsupported’ due to the amount of tweaking that are currently necessary to get them working just right.Yep, as much as I don’t like your attitude on these forums Mr. Geddings, you are right.
If Ralf is going to stand to make anything from his drivers, he is going to have to release them now or he is going to be left in the dust.Now’s your chance Ralf. There are people here willing to give you money, but if you don’t jump on it and take it you are going to be left with nothing but a fading dream. Don’t let that happen, the time is now.
The only dick here is you Mr. Geddings; Truly.
I don’t think you should get any version of the VorpX software because you are acting like a self-serving asshole just because you can’t play your favorite video games on your developers kit yet.Has it occurred to you that something might be wrong with Ralph? Maybe he is very sick, perhaps he got in some trouble, or maybe, just maybe he just wants to hold out on everything because you are acting like such a prick.
Take a minute to calm down and read over your posts, twice. If you heard somebody talking like that to you, would you want to give them anything at all?
You can’t apologize one day, and be an asshole again the next and expect anybody to take you seriously.Suck it up princess because the wait could be long indeed, and there is no point in blowing your gasket and filling yourself with negativity for a product that may indeed never see the light of day…
What exactly do you think hurling insults is doing for you other than helping you release some steam? There are much more pragmatic methods to vent that don’t injure your reputation, and you are certainly not going to be receiving any help from anybody here with that arrogant attitude.
I truly hope you aren’t taking out your frustrations on people irl as well… :/
Personally I wouldn’t let you an inch within any of my software if you had that attitude towards me.
I am going to make the guess that you are either very young (< 17) or that you suffer from some form of autistic spectrum disorder or the like, because your attitude here is truly nothing more than childish and trite.Just because you feel like Ralph is purposely holding out on you, doesn’t mean he is; and again, you are acting foolish to be screaming for a product that by all means could hold off on a release until the consumer version of the Rift is out.
I do think the Man owes us an update though. Here’s hoping he’s ok.
I am as frustrated as the next guy, but you know Mr. Geddings, developers have feelings too.
Maybe Ralf is having Family troubles. Maybe the guy is having a hard time dealing with all the attention (I used to suffer from anxiety disorder); Maybe he realized that there was a huge problem in his code and he is struggling to figure it out for us.
Or maybe he just figures ‘fuck all of you’ because he keeps reading disheartening comments and angry thankless statements like the ones you keep posting all over these forums…The Man doesn’t owe us a thing really. Nobody has lost any money; and we can’t expect to have support for a product that doesn’t even really exist.
In fact, people are amazingly lucky to have some 200 or so demos, as well as a few commercial titles already to play on their developer kits.
Don’t expect anything software-wise outside of development tools until there is a consumer release (although Ralf (Ralph?) did say he would have something released by now so I can empathize a little)P.S. I flipped it rather good on the OculusVR forums a while back when I found out our Rifts were being delayed by customs and it just resulted in me feeling and looking like an ass.
Mind you I was nowhere near as rude to people there as you are being here to Ralph, but Man was I ever cheesed.
lolI have to agree. While I don’t think that berating Ralph is at all the right thing to do, I do think his choice to keep it closed and sell it is somewhat contradictory to the way he is treating his future clientele.
It is his right to hold off on a release (who knows, perhaps there was a deal breaker of a bug in there and he needs to rewrite half the code?) but leaving ‘average joe/jane’ in the dark does nothing to help his credibility towards the future, and he should be letting people know if there are problems.This isn’t some console fanboy crowd that are going to be buying his drivers, it is going to be filled with PC savvy users who know better.
Perhaps he is sitting on a deal to buy out his code, or perhaps he just isn’t very good with people and suffers from some form of anxiety disorder and all of this attention is getting to him; it happens.
Give your people an update Ralf. You would be surprised how quickly an angry mob can be turned into adoring fans when you do things right. :)
^? This is the internet, really the guy can request whatever he wants to, why do you feel it is necessary to correct him?
Sometimes I get the idea some people get worried when they see people making such demands because they are concerned that the complainers will ruin it for everyone else.
You can’t really blame Mr.Geddings; the ranting is somewhat unnecessary, but he is right to say the lack of communication between the dev and the people is a little harrowing to those who are waiting.
