It only really works for first person games.
Plus isn't it quite expensive?
its mainly for the camera perspective so basically you would control the camera with it. so when your looking at things with the camera its like your there. it'd be like your looking down on things as your building
Like trying to make a baby?...O_o"
Slightly longer answer : Noo...
But seriously, I would rather see the team work on making a ready and stable game packed with new ideas and content rather than have them waste time basically rewriting the coding for the camera just to incorporate something that, if you actually look at it, is an expensive piece of equipment that not many people have. Sure, it'd be great for those who want it, but that is presumably only a small minority of the community. EA is most likely going to be creating things that will satisfy a lot of people rather than just a handful.
I also feel that the Oculus is just a waste of money at the moment. If I wanted the game so close to my eyes I'd have my nose pressed up against my monitor :roll:
i dont see why a lot of the original stuff would be taken away?
and it should t be much work for them at all since all it would be is adding an oculus rift camera where the normal camera is so people dont have to worry that it will take them longer. should take them merely 5minutes. they dont have to add movement to it at all you could do that with the keyboard. all am saying is i hope they add an oculus rift camera so i can watch my game in amazing 3D. they can leave out the motion controls of the oculus rift
If it is only for the camera movement and not actually looking through the sims' eyes, I think it's kind of pointless. Even without the headset, you are still in the prescriptive of the camera.
its mainly the case of you need to try it to know how it feels. when your designing the house the walls will seem like they are in front of you and the chairs everything will seem like your actually there looking at it rather than flat against the screen. i know i'd love to see my sims walking around as if i am there. they could easily make it so you could control the sims like in a console version.
best way to see how imersive the oculus rift is is by watching this
plus with oculus rift support we would in theory have a better quality game. house builders could see their houses in a more realistic view and build them more to perfection. objects would have to be designed properly to look right on the oculus rift. and couldnt just be thrown into the game like most seem to be that kinda stuff
to be honest am surprise people dont want to be more immersed into the sims i know i want to be. oculus rift would allow everyone who plays it to see it in a whole new way. when you can see the worlds and houses like you were there. and there is no reason that mac support would be delayed since oculus rift is basically a camera. unless stated otherwise it should be as simple as adding an oculus rift camera to the normal camera.
also i doubt it will be just a phase. the oculus rift has been in development for like 10 years and there are others now making VR goggles. its going to come. and its going to stay. this is the next advancement in technology. to be honest now that i think about it sims 4 is going to look outdated without it if they are going to continue it for 5 years. its probably best for them to just put it in even if it doesnt get used.
if 3 years down the line practically all games are using VR then yeh
I have been waiting for true VR games for decades. I would be completely surprised if we were there in just three years. But who knows?
Maybe for Sims 5.
ETA: I have been following development of the OR for the past few years, and while it does look like fun for some games, I just don't see it working well for Sims 4, at all.
we could have it way sooner than i thought. like i said i dunno how simple it is to add oculus rift support. i really hope its something they could just slide in and be done with it. something like a few minutes work even if they could patch it in later. or put it on the list as something to patch into the game. not saying it has to come right away.
nothing would make me overhyped more than hearing sims 4 has oculus rift support but i guess thats just me. i did see a mirrors edge oculus rift video and i dont think thats had a patch so it could be oculus rift will by default support the sims 4 camera and such.
so if anyone has any info about it please share here
on a side note with oculus rift i really hope they fix the fast camera movement above floor 2
Then you can watch the sims do stuff in game in first person, it's almost like being inside the sim it's self, would be fun to do in Roleplay, that's for sure. :P
It's a little idea that can work with the oculus rift. :P
I always wanted to observe the sims first person.
if you get the console versions you can actually control them in 1st person :Pthats how they work and you look at things and click to choose to do things like siting on a chair. i really dont know why pc doesnt have the option to control a sim in 1st person
Consoles do not have a keyboard.
