UNBELIEVABLE: Minecraft VR Edition Gameplay!

Good evening folks welcome to another episode of the podcast I’m your host fog coming to you with some minecraft VR specifically for the samsung gear vr so bear with me a minute I’m gonna have to get this all set up but let me talk about it for a second so

I’ve got a note for and we’ve got a oculus gear VR that I’m using I am running it to Mir casts so we not have like the best quality video or like smoothest video but we’ll try and see what we can get out of it it’s really the only way you can record

This with this setup and it’ll be able to show us what it looks like though being a Minecraft it’s in a VR world I’m probably gonna scoot back a little bit so I can swivel around I got a chair that swivels you do have to have a

Controller for this and I’m using the the infamous on live Bluetooth controller so if you remember on live they didn’t last long but they’re gone now but they made a hell of a great Bluetooth controller so we’re gonna use that you have to have a controller for

It I am then going to jump in there this is only available for the Samsung gear VR and it’s very very specific in terms of like even though it’s oculus it’s not available for oculus rift it’s not available for HTC vive it’s only available for this it’s $6.99 it

Launched this morning and I thought I’d give you guys like a little VR tour because it got kind of unlike a nice little base that you start off in and get the check stuff out so let’s give it a try I’m gonna see if the controller will connect that’s the biggest thing it

Has to connect to the device if not we gotta like restart all this crap and we have to restart all this crap over so be right back now via the magic of the Internet I’ve got the device charging and connected so you have to have the controller as I said let’s jump

In give it a shot so I’m gonna suit up and you guys check this out it’s guy it’s kind of cool I really like it I’ll be talking a little bit through it it’s not gonna be a long video so just sit back enjoy and maybe if you got this

Free with your new s7 it might be worth purchase all right so I’ve got everything on I’m in the oculus store right now inside of the the gear VR and I’ve already bought minecraft so I’m just gonna jump in and let me scoot back

Just a hair I hope I stay in frame oh it’s a little crooked for me hang tight sometimes you have to reorient the display there we go that’s much better no so now they have the controller I can go ahead and press my X button some of

It is kind of familiar it just looks like you know you look around you can kind of see everything’s blurry a little bit like that but we do have like options we can go in you can see third-person view you can mess with the controller you can even see stuff on

Here there are two different versions and I’ll show it to you so your going to hit play or you’ve got skins as well you know some of the newer skins so Alex Steve I think we are Steve I can hear some music playing now and it’s going to play so I’m gonna

Start a new world and we’ll just call it my world which is leaving and creative for now so the next thing it’s gonna do is say hey there’s two different types of world you can have experiences you can have you can see I’m in a room kind

Of like a little how she would build in Minecraft you know you can look all the way around which is awesome it looks like you’re just watching a big Minecraft TV so you got to you’ve got VR controls moderate turning occurs and segments the cursor and jumping have

Been tuned for VR improve the cup to improve the comfort during movement for most people work in progress classic control intense the classic jumping and turning not tuned for VR has comfort level of intense for most people so you can choose whatever you want and I haven’t tried the VR controlled one

I’ve tried the intense one so let’s go ahead and do the intense first we’ll do classic will show some of that so let’s it okay so here we go you know this is this is the way it looks no seriously it does not look like this

Is not VR we can move forward my screen just went black though there we go now we’re back had to rebuild you know we can you know we have our stuff here back to game you know we can play it just like this this is the VR experience no

It’s not really so look at the bottom it says touchpad for immersive view so we hit the side we get pulled into the world of Minecraft and look at this now now we have everything our bar follows us we can see everywhere we can dig down

You know if we dig if we look down we dig down just like that we can move around it’s kind of like a tank control at one point like when I can turn my head without turning my head it’s it’s a little odd you can get lost

A little bit and I think that’s why they have it tuned otherwise so let’s get around this tree it’s a little slow for me I hope the video is not stuttering for your end and almost it’s kind of making me sick no trying to do the mirror cast along

With this because it just it takes so much and the phone’s a little older so I’m just gonna move on a little bit here look jump jump jump but I can fly too so I think let’s see up up we can fly up let’s fly up a little bit and get a look

At the world so we have everything that we can mess with let’s go over this way we’ll zip over here we’ll look down look up Pig let’s check there a chicken it’s a dream down here and check out the chicken hey chicken weary there you are so check

Them out they’re checking us out but it’s it’s a great experience when you’re not running near cast and you’re just playing around with it oh my it’s it’s awesome it is exactly what I would have pictured Minecraft to be and you can see like if I turn this way it doesn’t

Matter from using the controller I’m not having to turn all the way around but if I turn all the way around with my head it doesn’t make a difference I’m just looking well it’s cow but here we go now we’re kind of back walking straight and

Then of course to dig you actually you can’t like press up and down on the right stick to do that yet I have to look down and you have to start digging yo down so I’ll just go down here ways see we can look around at it’s not too

Hard to control though I mean they build it fairly well I don’t know how far we could actually go down here I don’t know if we’ll get down to lava let’s just see we’ll dig down a little bit yeah we probably won’t but you know it’s it’s got decent controls it’s it’s

Not horrible so we should be able to look all the way up and see where we came from bleh up air dig your way out a little bit see if we can float up out of here if that’ll be easy oh we can just float

Through the there we go up up and away and yeah then we’ll check out the this is oh this is it this is using the intense mode this is like nothing’s changed from from minecraft what I’m doing is straight-up minecraft would be you know if you were just

Playing under computer regular so let’s go ahead and jump out of here and I’m going to get us back to the title there we go and we’ll try the VR mode the actual VR mode so I don’t even know where I’m at my orientation it’s crazy off Hey look at that

There we go oh that’s a little warm in here too so let’s play we’ll create another new world just to do this my world again create world I do not know if you can play multiplayer yeah I don’t think they haven’t enabled it’s very similar to the pocket version so it may

Not actually have all that there’s the building terrain oh wait it didn’t didn’t give me an option here let’s try options maybe we can see that difficulty sound broadcast to land yes see that’s multiplayer game is not available I don’t think yet they will get it there VR controls

Show control selection screen actually can I back out of this oh there’s our inner messages quit to title let’s try it one more time well let’s even get this right so play realms new world survival create world so you can do survival for this one building terrain up it jumped over here

I don’t know why it jumps like that but it does here and there but overall like the experience is really really solid I played it for about 10 minutes today I’m still doing this I wanted to change it and I may not be able to I’m in survival

Right now let’s try one more time this way options difficulty we don’t want difficulty I think it might be VR controls maybe that is it now it’s a little different oh yeah you see how that’s it kind of jumps when you’re turning with the stick you don’t have to

Turn too fast you just keep your head stable and it it’s a little bit easier on the eyes probably for performance performance as well some people get a little sick when they’re playing it but it’s a little different it’s not too bad though I can see what they’re doing

They’re just slowing it down so you’re not like swinging rapidly around jumping seems about the same I mean we were playing and creative before it was a little different let’s see is there any other options here we can check out the are options the are turnin is on VR

Sound VR turned by time head steering 3d rendering drifts so show control selection screen yeah turned on VR turn sound turned by time head steering so if we turn off head steering we probably don’t have to worry about that no matter which way we’re looking so let’s turn that off oh wow

3d rendering is definitely different if there is something to it I see Steve’s arm now there we go well we saw it before we’re just looking to rock but everything is bigger oh and it doesn’t matter where I turned the right stick with this one my head it’s

Kind of weird like like yet my head is also if I stop and I look this way it turns me they’ll actually take me that direction it’s a little bit different but I think they’ve done a good job further yeah see I’m steering with my head right now

They’ve done a great job with it so far so good idea of what it can be I think it was well worth Microsoft putting the effort in with everybody to get this thing out there they put it out on the device that would have the most you know

The maximum exposure this is clearly the the headset that has the most usage right now unfortunately it needs to cool down because this was free with a lot of devices so you’ve got a quality game that you can sit there and play but unfortunately look at that you know your

VR gear needs to cool down to maintain performance so that kind of happens on the Samsung oculus VR gear VR headset but overall it’s not bad kind of fun I could see playing it for like 20-30 minutes at a time it’s not maybe as easy on the eyes as

Like the rift is or the vibe but it’s it’s still you know an affordable way to get into VR you’ve got quality games already we’ll probably continue to do some more games for VR for for mobile I have a mobile dedicated playlist channel on the same channel playlist and we can

Put those there and just kind of do it this way I didn’t put the two screens because I kind of thought that looked a little funky when you’re looking at that’s why I’m so big so you can see what I’m looking at and kind of how my

Motion is and what you’re getting inside the game so if you guys if you really like this if you want to see more definitely like the video subscribe subscribe you can just subscribe in the comments it’s got a direction of directs absque ribe link there you can follow me

At twitch TV slash fans of games you can follow me at fans of games on Twitter yep definitely give me some feedback I’d love to do more of these for ya I haven’t seen anybody doing this one yet doesn’t mean there won’t be ten people tomorrow or 50 people tomorrow or 5,000

I just thought I’d throw it in there get it out to you let you check it out and again this is the older version there’s newer versions a lot more people have the newer version could be somewhere for the s7 worldwide of you know upwards of 500,000 of these units are out there

Because they came free with the device who knows it could be a hundred thousand but this is clearly you know where you’re gonna see some bigger titles like a Minecraft although Pocket Edition but you know being it’s gonna head here first so they can actually get something out of it so

Everybody thank you so much greatly appreciate it hope see you back soon and I will talk to you later
