No. This is a completely different system and all the reviews of HTC thus far in the gaming and tech world have far surpassed the samsung system. The joy of the HTC comes from the practicalities of it - not so much the graphical implications.

Yes, both are by Figment Productions.althorpe wrote:but the graphics is made by the same company yeah ?
EDIT: Don't think there's any real significance to this (probably more a lack of originality), but a sign on the new Amity Beach Shack gives the address as being on 'Sexton Way', with 'Sexton' also being used in the recently added graphics to DBGT's exterior.

With regards to the American Werewolf in London maze video, there is a similar effect of an oncoming tube train at the London Bridge and Tombs Experience- at the London one the tube train is being driven by a skeleton! I wonder if something similar will happen in DBGT.

These images show some more details have been added to the building, as well as new signage expressing how to find the ride appearing around the park!

The only thing I'm worried about is the quality. The way it worked on Galactica was great, and so was the actual video, but there were still bits of red and green on the edges of things, and it wasn't as good as it could have been. If they can do that again with better technology & a higher quality video, it will be unbelievably good. If not I think it will still be good, though.althorpe wrote:is anyone else woried about the vr from seeing galactca?

You honestly think they'd allow to VR to be lacking on an attraction of this scale?
I understand the concern but personally I have no doubts they won't slip up on something that is so expensive and essential to the experience.

The VR on Galactica is expensive and essential to the experience, and they slipped up on the video quality unfortunately. I think they'll fix it, though. Of course this doesn't mean the VR quality on DBGT will be bad necessarily, but I doubt the video quality will be super HD and always working, as that's very difficult to do with VR in general, and especially in an attraction.Owen wrote:You honestly think they'd allow to VR to be lacking on an attraction of this scale?

The problem with the VR on Galactica is the display tech, the HTC Vive is an entirely different ball game: with a high resolution and an uncanny spacial awareness due to the quirks of the system.
The VR should be top notch using that system, and as it's aiming for psychological rather than kinetic thrills the headsets should be safe from the stresses they endure on Galactica.

It's likely at the time they were filming this he was unavailable, and so they had to go with a member of staff from the resort.
In regards to the comment that the Galactica VR is also expensive, that is true - however the expense with this attraction will far exceed that of Galactica due to the quantity, brand and installation.

Gear vr 2560x1440 (1280x1440 per eye)
Vive 2160x1200(1080x1200 per eye ) and we know its been produces in 1080 it says so on the claper board from the filming stills

Seems like the Minds Wanted site was a success for Thorpe. I do like what they did, even though it's been ages since they released the site and released the fact that it's Derren Brown's Ghost Train. What got me hooked was the release of Derren Brown being the IP. Im impressed that instead of creating the attraction, and then sticking his name on it, with a more minor example being sonic spinball (Now reverted back to Spinball Whizzer) Instead they've worked with him for 3 years behind our backs and in only two weeks, will almost a year of speculation come to an end.
Damn I'm excited.

Couldn't help but mention a couple of pointless world firsts when not required but that's Merlin.lewis97 wrote:Nothing new of significance, but here's a video from ExposureDigital summarising the success of the MindsWanted campaign.
