Why is the bar set so low? It seems to me that most of the big publishers have games with minimum specifications higher than "$600 Walmart laptop with integrated graphics."

As RedEye correctly attributed, hyperbole. The point is that the barrier to entry needs to be low enough for mass adoption. It needs to be plug and go.

Every time I read someone post something along the lines of "Hurr durr only stupid/poor people don't have/don't want/resist VR" what I see is "Hurr durr I'm too stupid to understand how market economies and economy of scale works."
VR just isn't there yet and, as I said previously, it may never be in its current guise. I'm glad you have a very expensive, niche toy you can run a handful of games on. I genuinely am and I am also glad you derive enjoyment from it. But to bury your head way, way up your ass and claim breathlessly that "VR is the future and the rest of you are suckers" isn't just ignorant. It's monumentally stupid.

Are you positive? Unless you can just go off the rails and explore the level this really looks just like a bit of decent programming.
Also nothing that couldn't be done on a PC.

Just watched the whole 1hour+ long video on Youtube and my first thought was: "That's it?"

Well... after Unreal Engine 5's demo, that was underwhelming.

And I didn't see anything there that can't be done right now on a PC.

*shrugs*

Watch the Ratchet & Clank stuff again, with the rift portal mechanic. They're doing exactly what I recall someone on here said they wanted to see, where you can teleport between two enormous and completely different levels with a transition time of literally 1-2 seconds. It happens 5 times in a row in the reveal trailer, which I assume is a pretty early part of the game where they really show it off.

Yeah I saw that, wasn't impressed, Serious Sam had portals like that decades ago.

Whoa, they are doing the games within the game(s) thing again? I wonder what the install size will be. HITMAN 2 is already 150GB with the first game included so we'll probably zap well past 200GB with all three games combined in HITMAN 3.

Black game developers are underrepresented. This is probably because the minority as a whole is disadvantaged in this country. This would support more black game developers.

If you are white, I think you have to accept that your opinion is biased when it comes to how badly we hurt black people and how much we should help them get out of the situation we put them in. Maybe you could shut up for a minute, at least.

You'll notice the only people offended by this our the usual "sad" suspects.
Therein lies the rub

It seems pretty obvious to me it would help a disadvantaged group.

Maybe you should write a lot about it and reveal your true self to all of us, yourself included.

He kind of has a point though. Are blacks the only race that are discriminated against? What about Asians? Where's their fund? Indians? Chinese? Japanese? Why even bring color into the realm of software development? I'm sure they had all kinds of different races working on all kinds of different software. So, are they going to print the race of every developer on new releases of software products? Then people can scream RACIST one more time when everybody doesn't buy the software because maybe it sucks? This just seems weird to me. ALL LIVES MATTER!

Stop dividing people through race. Give that 1 million dollars to POOR people, not black, not white, not asian, not chinese, not the green martians. Give it to underpriviledged POOR people.
