Also it would be nice if you could update if SOD has fixed 1652.
They told me a couple of days ago that they will fix it in the next few days, but I don't know if they'll let me know or not. I will be downloading it every few days, when I see that they have fixed it, I will let you know.
If it's something from A Festa, I'm sure they'll fix it, as you said they already fixed one with low bitrate that I asked them for. If it's a SOD thing, I see it more difficult, because they don't care about it.
Any movies you guys particularly enjoyed/were noteworthy in the last month or so?
Well, basically, your list, we have twin tastes.... I would only add the Mitani Akari's title (HNVR-140), and IPVR-286 with Sasaki Saki.
To me the best movie in weeks. Funny that it was made by ZAMPA
and Kawaii. The first KAVR I have watched in month actually.
Ha ha, you have a grudge against ZAMPA, but from time to time he makes very immersive movies. What I don't know is if he only does it when he's allowed to, or when he wants to...
I also liked KAVR-400, the actress is very cute and surprisingly natural, although she needs a visit to the dentist.
I think most studios and creators forget or don't understand that immersion is what it eventually comes down to. I don't wanna watch from afar, I don't care about 2D porn for that reason, or even in VR I don't like the voyeur concept of observing two people having sex or the girl being 1 meter away from the camera at all time. So instead all the effort should be focused on giving the viewer the illusion to be inside the movie, getting the girl closer to the camera while maintaining a good view, that ultimately sets VR apart to me.
That's my definition of VR, word by word. It's a daily struggle, because the trend is increasingly toward just the opposite.
Anything less than feeling inside the movie, “feeling” the girl next to you, to me is a waste of VR. Unfortunately, that's the way 80% of VR movies are, just watching a meter away.
And on that concept AJVR-250 actually delivers a unique experience. You get extremely close while exploring Azu Amatsuki's awesome body all under a blanket, fun stuff and they actually manage to make that wok
I also enjoyed it very much. I think I could live forever inside of Azu Amatsuki's clothes.....
It's an example of what “immersion” means in VR, of feeling the girl.
While it was fun seeing Mei Washio and Aika Yumeno in a proper face to face missonary for the first time, the extremely low bitrate S1 delivers was lacking and took away some of the fun for me.
I had been waiting years for a face-to-face missionary with Mei Washio. Aika Yumeno already had some, but this last one is the best, and the movie is pretty good too. But the image quality is a disgrace. It's not that they're not getting better, it's that they're getting worse. Those two VR movies you mention, or KAVR-400, look worse than the 8K of previous months, because they have even less bitrate, some scenes only 11 Mbps, they don't even reach 15 Mbps anymore....
That a movie of an hour and a half at 8K takes 7 or 8 GB, says it all. They are not fooling anyone with “modern codecs take less”, because it is a big lie. You only need to compare an A Festa 8K title at 80 Mbps with those two 8K titles from S1 you mention. Night & day. They even look blurry, being 8K...
I don't understand what Fanza is looking for with this either, if it's that they despise VR, or 8K hasn't been the sales push they were hoping for. People have been complaining since day 1 about the very low bitrate, but they haven't listened. On the contrary, they are getting worse... But on the other hand, 4K 2D movies take 25 GB... And we get 8K movies in 7 or 8 GB... It's a shame. As I said, the difference between the 8K versions of Fanza and A Festa, is to go from watching video to real image. And that in VR is key. With 8K VR Fanza movies, unfortunately, we're still watching video.
Finally I also liked the two movies from Unfinished with Koharu Shiina (URVRSP-394 and URVRSP-393). Nothing more to say, but solid work.
Unfortunately it looks like “dress season” is coming to Unfinished. They have spoiled to me these two movies with three of my favorite actresses....
Unfihished usually does one scene with clothes and one without, but in these they don't take them off in the whole movie....
At least Chewbaka will enjoy them, although I don't know if he likes these models....
