It's crazy actually how fast I got used to 8k. In the beginning I thought it was just a nice upgrade, maybe 15-20% better than the 4k versions. Similar to 'normal' movies and BluRay vs 4k BluRay were the biggest upgrade comes from HDR and not the pixel count. But now for VR 8k is the standard and even movies from 2022/2023 annoy me because of the drop in picture quality. If the girl is really close to the camera it's not that bad. But if she is even an arms length away it becomes hard to watch.
Exactly. In 8K you start to notice it especially from 30 or 40 centimeters. But also up close. Maybe not so much on the skin, but for example when the girl is wearing lingerie with tiny flowers or other patterns, in 4K it blurs quite a bit, while in 8K the detail is preserved.
On the other hand the 8K versions is not only definition, but also the quality of the camera. Now you go back to 4K movies from 2 or 3 years ago and they look much worse than you remembered, because the cameras were worse, beyond the resolution.
To “believe” VR, what you see has to be real. So anything that increases that realism, like the 8K versions, even if you only notice it a little, your brain will thank you, because the girl in front of you will seem more real, not a blurry video as sometimes happens with low quality 4K movies.
@chewbaka , @2dxxxisdead , what version of Quest do you have? Quest 2 or Quest 3 ? I read the other day from a guy who is an expert in video encoding, and he said that 8K is starting to show up especially in Quest 3, in Quest 2 a little bit, but not too much. With my HP Reverb G2, and applying supersampling and MSAA on the PC, I do notice quite a difference between the 4K and 8K versions, to the point that I no longer watch anything in 4K, if there is an 8K version. I buy it or wait for someone to upload it.
Still it's worth keeping the 8K version, because in the future we will all have better headset, and it will be even more noticeable.
When they do stuff like this, its basically only telling us that there's no reason to pre-order ever. Just wait for it to go on sale.
They are making quite a fool of themselves. Plus the bonus videos are a joke. One of them is a couple of kisses, which is standard stuff in 100% of movies in VR. And another one tickles Remu with feathers.... Well, okay...
For me these first two movies of Prestige's return are a disaster, terrible, they have made me not want to watch my favorite actress. And it's not just the movies themselves, outdated, not very immersive, and boring. It's also that the IPD is bad, Remu looks giant, like an NBA player, it destroys the immersion.
I won't preorder Prestige's titles any more, unless the trailer includes exactly what I like. I will never buy any Prestige movie blindly again. The new DOC title they have released I haven't even watched it, the immersion is zero, from the screenshots.
I agree, I watched the movie yesterday and although it's not as noticeable as Temma Yui, you do feel that the face is weird. It's a strange feeling, you notice you're looking at an artificial face. I didn't like it at all. Also the movie is really bad. Artificial sex, no passion, slow and robotic movements.Girl is first picture is so cute and pretty that she does not require photoshop. Girl in 2nd picture looks she got beamed down from a UFO
