Super Mario Odyssey Labo VR Update Will Add A Theatre Mode To The Game

I will definitely be getting the VR kit and can't wait to see what all they do with it. Very excited for the BotW update as well.

Like a wise man said once, Pauline in VR, i'll take three.

Yes, I love seeing Pauline's form in VR!

25th, eh? That's awfully coincidental.

Also, PLEASE let us take a guitar to Guitarist Rosalina!!!

@Venus_Adept wait is that me? Am I wise? 😂

Pauline looks bloody gorgeous in that screenshot.

@ShadJV Yes you are. 😂

I think I've said the same in other threads but I'm keeping my expectations fairly low (until we know more about it) that way its hard to be disappointed

@Marios-love-child Same here.

People seem to forget that Virtual Reality needs high resolution displays to provide a great VR experience.

We had VR goggles for Samsungs mobile phones and people were quite unimpressed with it due to clearly being able to see the pixels and Samsungs phones had 2K resolution OLED screens already during that time period and now Samsung has given up on VR.

The Switch screen is only 720p and while it's fine on that size screen in handheld mode when you keep an average distance from the screen of roughly 30cm.
It becomes an entire different matter when the screen is going to be split in two for VR and magnified via the goggle lenses.
It will be one blurry pixelated experience that will quickly give you a headache when used in longer sessions.

Does the VR have a full 3D effect or is it just 2d first person?

@Jeronan It's a £30 VR toy. No-one is expecting Oculus-quality results.

I'll probably give this a try sometime. Once Labo as a whole becomes much cheaper. Still don't think this stuff is worth as much as they're selling it for. But once it becomes a more REASONABLE price, I might give at least the VR set a chance.

@Yosher you can buy the same version that Im gonna get which is the basic set that includes the vr goggles and a gun labo mini game for $40. No need to spend 80 on the whole set if you just want the vr goggles

@Moonlessky Honestly that's still a bit too much for me for what is essentially cardboard. The amount of time I'll probably end up using it would not justify a $40 price tag for me personally. I appreciate the input though!

Pauline in the thumbnail? You've got our attention.

@chardir So was the Galaxy VR headset from Samsung, that with it's phones offered more than double the resolution due to its 2K OLED displays.

I have even tried the "real" VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive and was not impressed with those either.
Hence, why I never invested in one.

Have fun playing Zelda BotW with a 300x200 resolution per eye lol. It will look like a mess.

Can't wait for the reviews and first impressions.

It does seem like some are letting their imaginations get away from them, wrapped up in the idea of VR BotW and calling people who point out the screen quality or the fact that the headset is cardboard you have to hold "haters" or "against the future." VR BotW would be cool, but being skeptical is somewhat reasonable for several reasons.

The interest in this waned as soon as someone pointed out it doesn't use a headstrap for motion control, so you're just holding it up like a ViewMaster. Ugh.

Note that I don't mean people shouldn't be excited to try Labo VR. They're not wrong to be excited. But this is one area where a reasonable human being who is not a "nintend00med h8r" could be skeptical.

Of course, seeing shirtless VR Mario in a terrifying pixal nightmare world would be an experience by itself.

@Jeronan I actually really liked my Samsung VR using my Galaxy S8+

It's genuinely unbearable lol.
