Riassunto del gioco dopo gli ultimi aggiornamenti: "it's not a bug, it's s feature".
Gli sviluppatori sono a conoscenza dei molteplici bug di questo gioco da anni ma non fanno nulla per risolverli. Puntano tutto sull'avere più utenti possibili, rovinando grafica, gameplay e giocabilità.

After several "improvements" of this title, the game is much less realistic and playable.
Also, for some reason you can't have a low ping anymore when playing online, regardless where your opponent is playing from.
Even worst, the ball disappears just befor your opponent is hitting, making it almost impossible to predict its direction. The ball then reappears when close to the net, leaving almost no time to adjust body position and hit (unless you are Flash).

Previously enthusiast, now disappointed user.

OLD VERSION: Best VR tennis table ever. I play ping-pong in the real life, and this is the only title allowing me to use real-life movements (serve, smach, spin etc...). TOTALLY recommended. BUY IT!

Just one word: Amazng.

Thank you for this experience, now all my friends and my family have been on the moon, and my father-in-law can't stop telling everyone about having been on the moon! :D

Very Nice! I enjoyed this experience through an underwater environment.

If you sit in the front of the vehicle, on the glass, you can also enjoy the deepness of the water.

I would suggest to add more fauna, expecially little fish-like creature to improve the experience.

Too little content here and a few bugs as well.

I was expecting much more by this title.

- The gameplay is non-existing
- You cannot explore Mars at all. The areas are so small (and empty, with no details at all) you can barely walk around the rovers.
- Repairing a rover with a welding torch is wierd...repairing a rover with a hammer has absolutely no sense.
- The voice keep talking while you try to read information on the instruments...very annoying.
- BUG #1 (small): The dust storm on Pathfinder suddenly disappear. You wait for it, you want to see how strong and devastating the dust storms on Mars are, you struggle to protect the minirover and...nothing. Simply nothing happens. It disappears before reaching your position. Very bad.
- BUG #2 (large): the teleport did not work in the pathfinder site for me (tried with both controllers) so I could not leave the cabin :( I still managed to save the minirover (from nothing, see above point) but I could not explore the lander.

+/- As a planetary scientist at the Italian Institute of Astrophysics and Planetary Science an a major expert on Mars, the only thing I appreciated was the small description about the vaious experiments on the rovers (there are some technical words, however, which could make it difficult for non-specialists to understand).

This title has great potential, but has o be largely improved.
Current state is not more than a short demo.

A very pleasant experience!

A beautiful world with a fantasy atmosphere. Funny little creatures run around you while you try to catch them with your eyes, but ther are too scared to show up to you...but if you show yourself frfiendly then...

I can' wait to see how this demo will evolve into a full game/experience!

Amazing. Definitively one of the best VR experiences available so far.
Your friends and even your parents will love this!

PS: Too short and minimally interactive. I really hope more chapters will be added soon!

I really do not understand the negative reviews around. If you don't know how to instal a codec well...the problem is yours. There are also instrucions on the website and in the manual.

However, I reccommend new users to wait for an update before buying this software (read the whole review).

In my opinion, "CINEVEO - VR Cinema" offers the BEST VR CINEMA EXPERIENCE so far, and especially for the 3D movies. It features a fully functional multiplayer movie theater in virtual reality, and you can even choose your seat!
The "spherical Section" curved screen is simply amazing.

While it is true that "Simple VR Video Player" is the best VR video player on the market, it does NOT yet provide the best EXPERIENCE when whatching movies, and especially for 3D movies.
In order to fully "catch" the full depth of a 3D scene, your brain needs to "compare" the scene with som surrounding object...which you don't have in the black environment (nor in any of the other environments in "Simple VR Video Player").

The movie theatre environment(s) in CINEVEO, plus the super cool "spherical Section" curved screen provide the best CR cinema experience so far.

However, there is still a lot to be improved.
First of all, being forced to use a a keyboard in VR while wearing a headset is really really bad. It is very annoying and frustrating. Very clunky controls, no controler or oculus remote support.

Moreover, no video adjustments/enhancements are supported. Everything is mising (brightness, contrast, gamma, hue, curve, Anti Aliasing, Super Sampling,..)

For these reasons, I reccommend new users to wait for an update before buying this software.

Some comments first, I hope the developers will read.

First of all, thanks to the developers for making the best VR video player on the market.
However, while it is the best player, it does NOT yet provide the best EXPERIENCE when whatching movies, and especially 3D movies.
The reason is simple: the environments. Only a few environments are available now and none of them is what you want when you watch a (3D) movie. An exception might be the "black" environment, which is similar to what you have when you are in a movie theatre. However, in order to fully "catch" the full depth of a 3D scene, your brain needs to "compare" the scene with som surrounding object...which you don't have in the black environment (nor in any of the other environments).
In other words, please, ADD A MOVIE THEATRE ENVIRONMENT!
The best would be to exploit the worksop and be able to choose/download any possible available scenario, including movie theatres.
In my opinion, "CINEVEO - VR Cinema" offers the best cinema experience so far, and especially for the 3D movies. It features a fully functional multiplayer movie theater in virtual reality, where you can even choose your seat.

About the player:
- This is the best VR video player on the market
- It is really easy to use, powerful, and full of features. Everything you read in the description is true :)
- Everything is super intuitive, you don't need any manual
- The Saveable 180/360 Settings Unique For Each Video is very useful. However, it should not be limeted for 180°/360° videos only. Also, the size and distance of the screen should be saveable!
- By installing LAV codecs and selecting "Directshow" as Video Decoding Engine under Options->Super Advanced Settings, you can basically play every video.
- Perfect support and smooth play for 180°,360°,3D SBS/OU videos.
- Curved screen is good, but since we are in a "spherical" VR environment, the screen should be a "sperical section" (as in CINEVEO)

"Super Sampling Resolution" + "Super Enhanced Mode":
this is something really cool. We all know that one cannot expect HD quality when watching movies with VR devices (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, etc...). The quality is actually very low when compared to a 3D moitor or with the 55" 3D TV in your house :)
However, by combining "200% Super Sampling Resolution" + "8X Anti Aliasing" and enabling the "Super Enhanced Mode" I have to admitt the quality greatly improves. Thanks for this super cool feature!


MISSING/REQUESTED features:
- Please ADD A MOVIE THEATRE ENVIRONMENT! (as in CINEVEO)
- add Saveable Settings Unique For Each Video also for NON-180/360 videos
- add Saveable or customizeable default values also for screen size and distance
- add more environments. Add download of environments from the Steam workshop.
- curved screen is good but, "sperical section" screen is best (as in CINEVEO)
- add support for online (facebook, youtube, Vimeo, etc...) 3D 180/360 videos

That's it for the moment.
Thank you and

(I apologize for my english, it's not my mother language)

Must have for the Vive! Amazing!
"The lab" lets you explore some of the possibilities of the VR, such as extremely realistic enviroments using photogrammetry, VR games and experiences, audio/visial effects and much more.
The Vesper peak is breathtaking, the Xortex game is so fun, and I can't stop shooting arrows to defend my castle or launching balls to destroy everythinbg! :D
The quality is excellent!...and it's free!
Fun fun fun!
Thank you developers!
