Kickstarter's TERRIBLE and DANGEROUS virtual reality MISTAKES! - SGR

[@ian_b]

I've developed a really powerful loathing for people in funding videos pretending to be designing things. The "meeting room" shot, the "looking at drawings" shot, the "pretending to be an engineer" shot, the "contemplating a mockup while looking thoughtful" shot. I hate them all.

[@Lucy_Ford]

"Pretending to be a superstar engineer "

[@ian_b]

@@Lucy_Ford Aye

[@nesamdoom]

This is still a plague of bullshit. Show yourself drawing the design, and then show go to someone that can do something with it. Easy. Every kid has ideas, show that you've got more than nothing more.

[@S4ns]

"It might work, it might not" CROWDFUND BUSTED

[@diegocella6791]

This video took a pretty sharp turn to wierd town...

[@TheNzFox]

*stares at you*

[@thatfield977]

I'm not sure if I just had a really good day, or a really, REALLY bad day.

[@L3ttuc3]

That is a dramatic understatement of whatever the hell happened in the last minutes of this video. I'm not sure sharp turn adequately captures whatever the hell that was. That was a steep dive into a dark abyss.

[@ScorchLawson]

Before developing / purchasing VR Sensory immersion devices it's important to take a step back and ask yourself these questions: Do I really need to know what anything in Half Life Alyx smells like? Do I really need to know what anything in Doom VFR feels like? Do I really need to know what anything in RE7 feels or smells like?

[@felicityc]

absolutely.

[@Eltnum421C]

I just completed RE7 for the first time in PSVR and let me tell you, the last thing I want is to smell or physically feel anything in that game. Survival horror does not need to become pure sensory horror.

[@Meximagician]

_Including_ the insect bits, or _especially_ the insect bits?

[@volundrfrey896]

There's actually a lot of research going in to the field of virtual smells, and it is kinda possible today. Smells would make virtual experiences more immersive, but does seem a bit redundant for gaming and to me a bit pointless in general. The eventual goal though is to be able to eg sample fragrances online, or be able take in the smells of your virtual holidays. Quite dystopian imo.

[@theprimestskeletron676]

Honestly I think being able to smell stuff in VR would open up a whole new kind of horror game.

[@doctabaldhead]

I can't tell if the Jaimie entry makes me sad or if I am just happy to see him again. Edit: the Stare Off video makes me want to die.

[@blunderingfool]

I didn't think I'd be seeing him going full "Damnit, grandad!" today.

[@taranyalvexx7420]

I can tell you that seeing Jamie like this makes me cry inside.

[@cheekbonestrenchcoat]

Wait for the unicorn video...

[@OmnipotentSeal]

It made me realize Mythbusters needs Adam Savage's showmanship to work. He could actually sell me on stupid VR roller skates!

[@taranyalvexx7420]

Yeah...I saw it. Some things cannot be unseen...or unheard. That jingle will follow me in my nightmares lol.

[@mostmelon]

Just taking a wild guess here, but I'd say the lip-sync lady was probably a foreigner hired to be a pretty face and someone else entirely was dubbed over her.

[@AtrocityPress]

Yeah, most likely ADR

[@GameHammerCG]

That’s exactly what’s going on here. They’ve gone for a pretty face and a pleasing voice combo; just not from the same lady.

[@EXbobomb]

It gave me PGS vibes, any time I see kickstarters with bad lip sync I think Russia now.

[@pferreira1983]

Exactly! 👍

[@rijjhb9467]

I definitely heard that voice before

[@ashkitt7719]

It's weird since I had a dream with Jamie Heineman in it, albeit just as a subject in a magazine article.

[@Formoka]

The Stare Off one actually made me laugh. It’s just so ridiculous that I couldn’t help it.

[@FallenGemini]

Gosh! I am disappointed in Jamie. His wife was my 9th grade science teacher some of the experiments done in Myth Busters were done in my high school - I graduated a couple of years after Mythbusters became a thing.

[@defaulted9485]

Seeing that last kickstarter, I pulled my pillow head rest so that my head get it's medicinal dose of concussion to forget that video.

[@Hammerhead547]

Those NS Glasses basically amount too strapping a switch screen too a pair of cheap binoculars.

[@slopesgameroom]

Yep, quite literally

[@vivisect53]

I was thinking the lens in it reminded me of Wide Gear magnifier for the Game Gear.

[@alexrushdy2751]

I actually tried the mask thing at GDC back in the day. It sprayed you with water, heated your face, and blasted smells at you. I hated it.

[@awzthemusicalreviews]

I'm convinced that last guy is the greatest satirist of our time, making fun of people who shill shit on Kickstater. I have to believe that, because I can't live in a world where somebody seriously thought either of those would entice people to give him money

[@Kattywampus]

That last section is really just Tim & Eric trolling us

[@BrianGreigRWD]

I must have missed the part where you had to remove your teeth in order for the unicorn nipples to work.

[@F40PH-2CAT]

No, its British Eric Cartman.

[@aimwell8813]

Fun fact, Eric from Tim and Eric I'm pretty sure made it into a series of commercials for the original oculus quest. He played reality (who got worried over his point in life because the Quest exists). I made a playlist of all those commercials on KZbin if you're interested.

[@TheLastComa]

I'm like 3 years late but no, that skit was nothing like Tim and Eric's works...even their purposely weird shit has some substance 😊

[@1MoreSonicRobot]

I feel that the most immersive VR experience could just end up being an Iron Man suit.

[@vivisect53]

So instead walking into walls, you will just crash through them...lol

[@AeroQC]

Somehow, that last one physically hurt to watch...

[@TheBattlesword]

Is StareOff secretly a performance art piece by a British parodist, kinda like that MLP visual novel by Sam Hyde?

[@7seatea7]

The lucky unicorn nipples makes me think it is a parody.

[@KernelLeak]

Oh come one, next you'll be telling us that Jonathan Pie isn't real...

[@newguy371]

I think so. I was laughing uncontrollably after the unicorn video. That guy is awesome!

Okay the VR stuff makes a little sense but the smelling your video games no no no no no no you how many sewer levels are in video games I'd rather not smell it

[@doctabaldhead]

Seriously. That is one sense I am perfectly fine not experiencing when playing a video game. Imagine smelling a Souls or Doom game.

[@Aereto]

@@doctabaldhead Who knows the smell of blood might be for the shark people.

[@vivisect53]

What's wierd is that anyone would give them money since none of the VR smell devices could work with out games supporting it, and even then it's bullshit that wouldn't work.

[@gotgunpowder]

@@vivisect53 because you say so, right? lmao.

[@kaijinu]

"Are you scared?" I have 911 on speed dial, yeah, I am.

No wonder Adam hated Jamie at the end of Mythbusters if this is the shit he wants to shill. Do love Jamie's split window bus though.

[@WickedPhase]

thats exactly what i thought lmao

[@wandererreece9540]

OMG! I can't believe Jaime Hyneman actually made that campaign! The funny part is it appears most people who discovered that believe he is being used as a figurehead and is not actually involved in making the shoes.

[@cheekbonestrenchcoat]

"Usual mess of Kickstarter campai.... what the hell?" That last video man. That last video

[@mattwo7]

6:54 The best part is that Nintendo even made their own, the Labo VR as seen on the eBay pages shown.

[@vivisect53]

That Virtual Dolls "the chest you slap on the wall" is mouse pad with wrist rest....lol They sell those all over, no wonder it wasn't funded.

[@gabriellsan]

Dang it! Almost spitted my coffee all over kitchen table hahaha. That unicorn song was pure gold

[@TheP0rtalNinja]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of paywalling videos and teasing them off like that, no matter how controversial they seem to KZbin's algorithm. There's got to be better ways to monetize stuff like that...

[@kaydwessie296]

I love how you're roasting that No Touch Key thing in the beginning of the video, but I literally just saw an instagram giveaway form one this morning

[@joshkaid]

They called it "Fish On Wheels" and not the very obvious "Fish Tank"?

[@AtemiRaven]

I have basically given up on Kickstarter. I have backed about seven things on there that I thought had potential. Only two of them ever made it to the distribution point, only one was actually successful and made a new company, and five of them just took my money and either failed to use their funds properly and failed, or just took the money and ran. It's basically a platform where people who don't feel like saving and properly investing funds go to beg.

[@MrBizteck]

I only back 3d terrain models and bord games .... so far 22 backs and 22 fulfilled.

[@HoboGirl09]

I don't know what the stare off guy is on but I want some because he's is hilarious.

[@thecodex0994]

And I'm here waiting for a vr headset I can use with my glasses

[@Artista_Frustrado]

why do so many people are obsessed with adding smell to games?! people make fun of every game having Swewer levels for a reason! wait, was the last guy just making a racist Kickstarter?

[@yearls]

Thanks, I'm gonna have nightmares now, that last one and the staring. I'm scared someone like that exists.. :(

[@slopesgameroom]

[@newguy371]

The guy is real, but the videos are parodies. You weren't meant to take them seriously.

[@Kalvinjj]

@@newguy371 that's what he wants you to believe

[@ReFriedNoodles]

I play "Vicera Clean up Detail". Great for VR! But the last thing I want is to be able to feel or smell anything from any of those places. Motion sickness is bad enough as it is.

[@covcova]

The only Kickstarter I ever backed was the Reading Rainbow one If these represent what else is out there, I feel I made the right decision

[@jsmith3946]

Ya but that company made some stupid fucking choices like putting their app on pc first before Smartphones when the studies showed that low income families the people they where going after had easier access to smart devices then computers

[@vivisect53]

Schools and libraries had computers too, that might have been part of the reason.

[@leebumble]

17:16 Well I found this funny as fudge mate. It was slightly awkward to begin, I agree, however the idea of gingers absorbing souls and collecting them in their freckles, is genius. In other words it clearly a joke piece.

[@LendriMujina]

The UnlimitedHand seems like one of those things that's an awkward first step towards an actually-well-functioning technology. Sort of like the Virtual Boy which, with all its problems, *did* eventually pave the way for modern VR headsets, and as a bonus was the first controller to have the kind of dual movement that became industry-standard with the DualShock three years later. ...and that unicorn *_thing_* seems like it would be some kind of in-universe product in South Park.

[@Lionheart-tu4zs]

The upgrade I'd want to see to VR is convincing my ears that I'm moving to match the visuals and, in theory, preventing the nausea caused by the mixed messages 🤔😆

[@Anophis]

4D stuff is cool tbh. We have arcade machines here that move around, blow air on you when you're moving fast in the game, vibrate when you shoot/get shot, things like that - I do wish they'd do the smell stuff but I can't imagine how it would work very well.

[@cartmann94]

I remember an old Kickstarter for something called a Turris. Which was a small stool seat. For Virtual Reality games. Which require you to be standing up and moving.

[@Clay3613]

So like a standup coaster, the worst type of roller coaster.

[@CaspisSinclair27]

Wouldn't the "FeelReal" mask fog up the lenses? Like... immediately?

[@vivisect53]

If not, it would, if it worked like vapes, leave a sticky film all over the insides of them over time and just piss people off

[@tahustvedt]

Vape mask. Brilliant. The one thing I've always felt like I need more of during VR is moist air on my face.

[@theprimestskeletron676]

On one hand the way you're talking.about VR as if it's a trend that died a few years ago.in the intro makes me think this cant have been written after HLA. On the other hand, this video is probably only released because VR is such a hot topic now.

[@vivisect53]

VR is still a bit of a niche product

[@FreedomFighterEx]

Me : One last video before I go to bed. It should be alright Me later : I have made a grave mistake.

[@gunsniper0018]

on the multisensory vr mask. There might be a kernel of believability to the FDA claim. Recently NPR did a story about how some at home CV-19 test makers are having a bitch of a time getting approval (completely legit company, not crowd source or anything) because of how archaic the FDA approval system is. Basically FDA breaks things down into multiple tiers and don't bother to tell you what your device might fall into. On top of that each tier has it's own standards for efficacy or viability that have to be proven for approval. In the case of the home test guys, they admitted it as a gadget since it didn't need as high a bar since it's meant to be a benchmark of if should you see a doctor. FDA turned around and denied them saying it's in the wrong category. So they resubmitted as a tool which has a higher standard as it needs to be able to give definitive results. I heard they didn't get approval again because wrong category as it isn't accurate enough for a medical tool. They're trying again but i don't know what class they went for now.

[@Aix_Plainer]

Yes, yes. *waves dismissevly* But what everybody wants to know: What about the Fish on Wheels Kickstarter? Did it got funded?

[@JacobHillSBD]

The Ultimate hand is literally just a TENS unit, and I really don't think you want to strap that to your arm voluntarily.

[@slopesgameroom]

Hahahaha it literally is isnt it

[@diegocella6791]

Have to do a little correction, at 15:05 that's not IKEA furniture...

[@NoeLPZC]

Who cares?

[@hossdelgado626]

The ginger stare off for your soul> betting your soul against a fiddle made of gold. Also, I genuinely thought you were having a laugh with the end there, it sounded like a joke skit from like KND, Brickleberry, etc (any cartoon with high pitched joke ads)

[@richardatthegate]

I actually own one of the Whirlwind Vortx. It works great in some games. Fps with lots of explosions and fire is pretty epic. My favorite game to use it with is Far Cry 5. The fan is actually pretty powerful, but noisy, so headphones are a must. Driving in a car feels like the wind is blowing through your window and anytime you are near things on fire or explosions it is pretty immersive, in my opinion.

[@reptilez13]

I like how Daniel just talks smack to us and about everything possible in all his videos from start to finish lol. Like, "these things suck, you suck, everything sucks."

[@lambsauce5312]

Feel real really should have just sold and shipped everywhere but to the US and to then refund the people in the US

[@aimwell8813]

He forgot to mention the Nintendo Labo VR. That was Nintendo’s official VR thing

[@Shenorai]

Doesn't Ashens own a version of that 3D stand, except it straps to your head?

[@CormDaCrow]

I saw a vr headset thing for the switch on ebay I figured it would just function the same as nintendos Labo vr thing, Would it not?

[@reido387]

The track of the mythbusters hosts is odd to see. While Adam is still insanely popular, running Tested, making lots of youtube videos, and interacting with fans, Jamie has...not. Dude went TOTAL private sector, last I heard of him before this was him making tech for military usage. Rather sad to see in my opinion.

[@crystalgoddess4085]

Yeah... the whole smelling the game thing, these people clearly have no idea how bad games like Resident Evil would smell, I mean, a zombie-infested locale wouldn't exactly smell like a bed of roses now, would it?

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

16:05 Serial interface! Why?

[@lapzidorus1786]

I haven't seen an episode of Ren & Stimpy, but I believe the Rainbow Unicorn Nipples would fit into that world; after all, I know the duo themselves went around selling rubber nipples one time, and weird products such as Cans Without Labels exist.

[@ccateni28]

Completely forgets about the gamevisor who lied about having old people from commodore and ran off with all the money.

[@henstar337]

9:05 already mostly exists as the ambX system that supported far cry 2 and that was about it.

Holy fuck I busted a gut laughing at the incoherent rant about gingers!

[@zigazav1]

That stare-off guy, when I saw his trailer for the thing I was laughing on how stupid he was looking like with those words and long delays. Had a laugh, but in short bursts. That awful campaign trailer song though I had to take off my headphones due to it being so bad.

[@mightyfilm]

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

It's a voice over from when she spoke live, but if that was the case, they should've just used the audio of her in the room, then used the booth audio. Don't go in the booth and fully voice back over what you just said in the video, lol. Unless a part needs it. But if the whole video needs it, then just reshoot the video.

[@MaakaSakuranbo]

Eh, it's not like theres a rule of crowdfunding that says that the rewards have to include the product, even if it's a common practice. I can see an argument to get money to develop a product. And if you're unsure it'll work or not (but still need funding for R&D), why not? Better than to promise a product and then crash and burn with it.

[@otakubullfrog1665]

It looks like the Ruxtoncorp guy is just joking around here.
