thank you to Logitech and Discord for bringing us to pxi 2016 this year my
0:04
voice is gone but if you want to see their stuff click the link in the video
0:07
description down below all right guys welcome to the Intel Booth we are
0:10
checking out raw data from CIO this is hands down the best HTC Vive demo I have
0:15
tried yet and it is far from completion which is super cool it is an active
0:20
combat game so that means you're standing up you're moving around you're
0:23
trying to deflect things with swords and shoot things and go into bullet time and
0:28
God it's awesome the concept is fairly basic we've seen it before you stand in
0:33
the middle of the room you defend yourself and the things around you and
0:36
you kill waves of enemies that's not super complicated but they add in some
0:40
great stuff that comes with VR like you get basically a lightsaber it's a sword
0:45
but it's basically a lightsaber and you can deflect incoming projectiles you can
0:49
physically Dodge them you can go to Bullet time and Dodge them you can
0:52
bullet time and shoot people in the head you have to hold on to different weapons
0:56
you can drop them pick them up using the controller and you have to reload by
1:00
using your movement which is actually super cool they do plan on adding things
1:04
in the future like traversable levels and full Locomotion so you can actually
1:08
travel through a level as you complete it which is fantastic none of that like
1:12
teleport around kind of stuff which is not super great in my opinion it's great
1:17
for immersion because of the intuitive controls and the fact that you just kind
1:21
of expect something like a gun to be on your hip and to reload pulling it down
1:24
back behind you feels very natural to shoot a shotgun you have to hold it with
1:28
one hand pump it with the other hand again feels very natural the whole game
1:32
feels very natural which is extremely extremely important which is the reason
1:35
why I just said it so many freaking times you need to feel immersed when
1:39
you're playing a game things need to make sense and they do which is great
1:43
right now it only supports land but they are actively working on online
1:46
multiplayer and they will get it working the game will be in early access
1:50
sometime in the summer and if you're kind of like me and are probably going
1:53
to wait for the full version that will be coming hopefully before the end of
1:56
this year so powering all this awesomeness is three different systems
2:00
first of all we're going to check out one of the clients which is an MSI
2:04
gt72s this is an official like Vive VR
2:08
rated laptop which is pretty badass it has a core i7 6820 HK 16 GB of ddr4
2:15
memory and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 not a 980m this is actually a fully-fledged
2:20
desktop graphics card that's part of the reason why it's rated for VR next up we
2:25
have the server this is a full-fledged desktop machine it's all water cooled
2:28
Hardline badass stuff like that it has an
2:31
i76700k 16 gigs of ddr4 memory and a
2:35
gtx980 TI setup which is pretty insane
2:39
it also has a 750 series 400 GB SSD now
2:44
you don't need this you want to play this game you don't need a dedicated
2:47
server at all you can have one of the people host the game the other person
2:51
connect to you that is completely Okay the reason why they have a server here
2:56
is so that they can have a spectator view someone who's able to look around
2:59
the level independent of the two players and look at things externally which are
3:03
up on these TVs up here and look super awesome at an event but isn't actually
3:07
required to run the game and the last system is the client for the second HTC
3:11
Vive setup this is a custom zyex PC
3:15
hopefully I'm saying that name correctly it has an
3:18
i76700k 16 GB of ddr4 memory dual NVIDIA
3:22
GTX Titan x's and another 750 series SSD
3:26
again pretty badass Hardware you could probably get by with less than this but
3:31
I don't know if I stretched that far one way to check your VR capability is to
3:36
run steam's VR check utility thing it's actually pretty great I would recommend
3:41
