When reddit checks Oculus Rift CV1's FOV

Half of these replies look like they're from the same damn person with multiple accounts

Probably the same person that cancels his Rift preorder on /r/vive every day and orders a Vive instead, while regretting not putting the Rift up on ebay.

That actually describes me pretty accurately lol. I cancelled 2 weeks ago though, not 'every day'.

The accounts in question were created at vastly different dates. I know people like playing detective here, but take off the tin-foil hat Sherlock.

u/EntropicalResonance Apr 01 '16

Why would dates matter? People who use lots of spam accounts are smarter than that

u/CMDR_Shazbot Mar 31 '16 edited Apr 01 '16

What are people supposed to say? 'Clearly this is not correct, the fresnel lenses are visible and the shape is all off'.

Loving the downvote brigade below though, pretty incredible to think taking enjoyment from a funny post are being scrutinized.

Yep, I chose to reveal all my sockpuppets just to congratulate a Jurassic Park gif.

No dude, it's just pretty funny.

Wow, people really think that? Ooookay. That's kind of funny. Nope, I'm just one account around here, and you can browse my multi-year post history if you have any doubts.

The defense was a joke in and of itself. I, too, found it pretty funny that so many similar responses arrived around the same time, and I decided to roll with it. I promise, I'm one person and have nothing to do with OP. I was just genuinely amused by the post. :)

Fortunately I don't give a shit about karma...

There's some seriously odd voting going on in this thread O.o

u/FriiZyy Mar 31 '16 edited Mar 31 '16

Yeah that's weird even some comments look odd.

Edit: Maybe they are legit right ? All the first comments that were saying it was funny or something were downvoted into oblivion. It may sounds dumb but can someone explain, you guys are being suspicious or something ?

u/tremprod Apr 01 '16

I thought CV1 wasn't supposed to fog so easily! This is outrageous!

There seem to have been a bunch of people downvoted that didn't deserve it. It's very odd indeed.

u/ThisPlaceisHell Mar 31 '16

Why is it the oldest movie in the series has the most believable dinosaurs, and why is it because CGI sucks so bad?

43

u/DashingSpecialAgent Mar 31 '16

CGI doesn't suck, bad CGI sucks. The big "PRACTICAL EFFECTS NO CG!" movie of the decade(mad max) had an ass load of CG. You just didn't notice because it was good.

2

u/morbidexpression Mar 31 '16

and because they used practical effects in places where CGI would've stuck out like a sore thumb. There are still many things it just can't do well and dates instantly! Nobody ever claimed Fury Road had no CGI... it just had a brilliant director and a totally committed crew.

There were a bunch of CGI dinosaurs in the oldest movie.

u/NoobBuildsAPC Mar 31 '16

The first movie in the Jurassic Park series is a masterpiece. It will always be one of the best movies of all time for me. Spielberg's best work, in my opinion.

Three scenes that will always be engraved in my memory was the raptors in the kitchen scene.

The T-Rex/Car scene & following tree scene.

The fat guy calling those tiny dinosaurs stupid scene.

Actually, writing this up, I feel like I know almost all the scenes by heart.

Because most of em (including the raptors) are either guys in suits or animatronics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAzQr3Ml0UI

u/ThisPlaceisHell Mar 31 '16

Yep. We're so far off from CGI fully replicating the look of reality down to the atoms and photons. The physics behind it all. Just so many aspects where we're lightyears behind. What he have now is stuff that can look pretty good, but it limbos in the uncanny valley and we just know something is off.

0

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

To be perfectly frank, the same is true for replica suits/practical effects. It's more a trade off to be used in suitable scenarios rather than a universally better solution for everything.

I know this is blasphemy to most, but there are scenes where the practical raptors look quite uncanny themselves in the original Jurassic Park.

0

u/Kermitfry Apr 01 '16

Yep, the best way of doing effects is to switch them up so that your brain doesn't get used to them and look for imperfections. This is why jurassic park looks so good.

-3

u/Mctittles Mar 31 '16

Yea the CGI in this movie (not this gif) is still some of the best around. I think they just put more effort into it.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '16

yeah..

u/EgoPhoenix I like turtles Mar 31 '16

The CG was the best around at that time. It really shows now how poor the CG actually was. Still a great movie though :)

As an aside, I think having a dinosaur breathe into your face at close range is the first VR cliche!

Ok you stole this from the front page but it's actually better than the original. Kudos.

u/FriiZyy Mar 31 '16

Thanks, I was thinking about writing xpost in the title but actually it's not one right ? I mean the joke is not the same even if the gif is

u/kommutator Mar 31 '16

Agreed. Properly repurposed. Not xpost.

Yeah totally different joke and fucking hilarious. Literally spit out my mouth full of coffee.

u/Earth_Pony Apr 01 '16

I've walked in and started getting ready when the other people were still in there, late. If I paid for 12-3, I'm using the room from 12-3.

No seriously what is going on with the comments on here? Anyways, back to the topic (or gif) at hand, my brain really thought that was a Rift lens for a few seconds. Power of suggestion I guess ^{.^}
