For people worried about covering the screen with their hands, my idea is that the field of view, FOV is the center part which matches what you would see on your normal rectangular TV screen, with other consoles. Anything else would show you extra information like the difference between watching a 4:3 tv and 16:9 tv. Imagine the camera pulled out just a little bit backwards.

This is what a screen renders for VR:

So the oval screen isn't to accomodate FOV for VR as a rectangular screen woudl do just fine, although I admit you could fit the above in the section between the analogue sticks.  I googled what the maximum refresh rate is on mobile screens, as you apparently need 120Hz to stop people from vomiting.  Turns out that 120Hz mobile screens do exist and have been shown as early as mid 2014, so it could be possible.

On the other hand, how will you be controlling the VR experience with the main controller stuck to the front of your face?  It just doesn't make sense GG.

If I had to guess, I'd say we'll be getting something more down the line of a GC controller, with a clamshell design screen in the middle part.  The screen could be organic in shape, allowing it to sit right next to the analogue sticks, thus allowing for easy access with your thumbs, while still featuring regular buttons.  Also, with the sharp screens, there is near to no bezzel, meaning that the clamshel could fold out to form one uninterupred screen, instead of having 2 seperate screens as is the case with the DS/3DS.

Quick & dirty perspective overlay ( close enough though ) ...

BOOBIES ! ! !  

Did someone say, "BOOBIES"?

Tropical Freeze is wonderful.  Probably the best selling, most enjoyed game people love to moan about.

PS4k coming. New updated specs PS4 so it can run 4K. Rumor at the moment but pretty much real.

I saw the story on this. The only thing I can think of is that either Microsoft or Sony got wind, of the one of the others plans to release a beefed up system mid-gen and decided that they would have to do the same to compete.

The team at Telltale hit the stage in Austin at the SXSW Gaming Expo today along with Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller, to come out of hiding and talk details about the upcoming series based on BATMAN for the very first time. While development has been moving along swiftly over the last year, production on in-game visuals for all of Telltale’s series always tends to come together closer to launch, as the writers and designers spend their time focusing very heavily on the story and script first and foremost.




It’s still too soon to show any scenes from the game, but the team was happy to confirm that players can expect to see it closer to its upcoming premiere which is slated for THIS SUMMER! Additional details gathered from the panel were as follows:

• Batman is the perfect character for the studio to explore in a Telltale series, giving the team the opportunity to dive deeper into the mind of the man behind the mask. Each night, Bruce Wayne chooses to change Gotham for the better. The team wants to explore what the consequences are of the player’s actions when decisions made as Bruce have a critical impact on his nightly crusade as Batman, and vice versa. Certain key situations will give the player the decision to approach a scene as Bruce or Batman, with consequences for both sides.
• Fresh interpretation of the universe set in current times, not tied to any existing iteration of Batman in games, film, or comics. Story will focus on Bruce and Batman, not an examination of the extended 'Bat-family,' (Robin, Nightwing, etc.) Fans can expect certain series staples such as Alfred Pennyworth, Vicki Vale, James Gordon, and Renee Montoya. Telltale is looking to keep the villains more tightly under wraps until closer to the premiere.
• Certain characters will have a deeply personal relationship with Bruce in his private life, and decisions made as Bruce or Batman will affect their paths towards corruption or redemption.
• The player's actions will help shape the Gotham that Bruce deals with during the day, as well as the criminals that Batman faces at night.
• Team is committing to a non-photorealistic interpretation of the universe, enhancing engine and technology to deliver a more seamless living comic book art direction. Taking inspiration from the works of over 75 years of artists such as Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, and Neal Adams.
• Like some other Telltale series, the game will be landing at M (Mature 17+) rating, and the cinematic approach will feel more akin to an R-rated film.

Happy Frigay, Pokken edition.
