which one has the advantage mouse and
keyboard or vr nothing keyboard vr mouse
and keyboard uh i'd say vr for sure
come on
quarter digital.com you have 24 hours
left to get this shirt
one of the coolest shirts i've ever made
there's a link in the description below
don't delay act today it'll be gone
forever
there's a question i've been really
really curious about if you were to pick
a vr player against a mouse and keyboard
player
which one would have the advantage
generally speaking if you ask any gamer
who has the advantage a person on a
console with a controller or person on a
pc with a mouse and keyboard 99 of
people will say the mouse and keyboard
has the advantage a mouse and keyboard
lets you be a lot faster a lot more
specific a lot more accurate with your
movements you can whip a 180 with the
mouse and keyboard with just a single
swipe of the hand and you can be
accurate with the controller you have to
hold the joystick you need to let it go
at just the right time wait for it to
land on your target controllers are
great for when you're sitting on the
couch but when it comes to being
competitive mouse and keyboard is going
to dominate across the board the reason
this question is important is because
the vr market's not that big if you want
to have a successful multiplayer game
you need to have a population of players
always playing that game because the vr
market is small you might only have 5 or
10 people playing that game but if you
can open it up to pc players playing
with their mouse and keyboard you can
bring that game back to life and you can
have you know a population of a thousand
people playing now the question is if
you put those players on mouse and
keyboard up against vr players are you
giving the mouse and keyboard players an
unfair advantage or
are you giving the mouse and keyboard
players an unfair disadvantage i've got
clinton adrian who are both very good at
first-person shooters to join me i'm
going to play in vr they're going to be
a mouse and keyboard and they're going
to do their best to try to beat me and
we're going to see
which one is better come with me
now this totally depends on the player's
skill i think you can actually blend
mouse and keyboard players and vr
players and get away with it somebody
who's really skilled at mouse and
keyboard will stand up to vr players and
handle themselves just fine so here are
the advantages if you're to play a first
person shooter in vr first off your
twitch aiming is impeccably accurate
there's no sensitivity to worry about
there's no mouse pad to worry about
there's no hardware to worry about it's
your body another advantage of vr is
your awareness somebody's above you you
look up somebody's behind you you turn
over your shoulder somebody's shooting
at you you lean behind the wall it's a
lot easier to look around instinctually
while aiming somewhere else while moving
somewhere else you basically have these
three different control schemes that are
all very natural whereas mouse and
keyboard's only two
[Music]
oh no
dude that's the only way you could win
it's the only way niko can win is he
picks a broken game in his favor
so that so that we suck and nico look
appears as if nico is shining bright
ducking
i gotta reload
lasers don't need reloads
get out of here boys
you don't have enough ammo
to kill it
[Applause]
let me try the vr how long have you
played this game niko
uh
every day you like practice
oh adrian come out hard
all right so adrian killed me
it's so much easier in vr i think it
goes to your opr
taste okay
[Music]
dude you always boxes yeah he's been
getting boxes i'm just trying to get
these
50 tickets
that's the one
printing here we go
that was trash
this is a good one here take this one
stick it to my face
oh
what's that clint
we're back we are so easy this game is
so easy and we got
just you wait
where were you
oh you snuck up on me that's hardly it's
hardly part like conducive to this
experiment
for me the consensus is vr is definitely
easier but i think it would take a
little bit of time to like get used to
the game
the game is a little bit weird because
the vr is easier i had an easier time
playing on vr than i did in the computer
it was a lot more fun yeah that's for
sure
yeah vehicles will be a different
experience in life
so you guys hadn't played the game
before no somebody's a little skewed so
now i have someone who has played the
game before i played a bit honestly
i think in this situation the vr has an
advantage because technically it's first
person well this is third
but
i feel like mouse and keyboard
if you like know the game and you can
play it uh and you're like
you're used to it then i think you could
still
probably beat anyone in vr
he's ready he's ready yeah he played a
bit that means
so d you're thinking that mouse and
keyboard superior huh
yeah
this is a real fight we've got a real
fight with these here
oh man
just making time before he disappeared
what
i
all right he's got two i got one all
right
you
[Music]
oh no
oh all right well i guess aiming is
easier on vr is definitely really
competitive with vr
if it was first person it'd be very
different yeah because in third person
the your aiming is like so you have such
a wide
field of view well like you have so much
peripheral vision going on that's like
not concentrated on it and also isn't
that more helpful though
not really i'd much rather have a
first-person view with a gun that's
right in the middle that way i can focus
and like aim on the person what i'm
noticing though is that your aiming in
this is like definitely way more
accurate because to move the gun more
accurately while you're firing because
on the keyboard like the slightest
movement like this in a third person
game is like huge
also being with a dodge is pretty useful
yeah i can take cover
way more effectively honestly vr is
better than i thought it would be
oh yeah
yeah well thanks for uh thanks for
partaking in the experiment i
surprised me i'll see you in uh half an
hour or whatever for filming we played
many games going back and forth mouse
and keyboard vr mouse keyboard vr
switching people around
hey nick
and i've come to the conclusion that vr
gives you probably about a 10 to 20
advantage now this totally depends on
the player's skill i think you can
actually blend mouse and keyboard
players and vr players and get away with
it so if you're a video game developer
or heck if you're a vr game developer
and you're trying to figure out a way to
keep your multiplayer populations alive
don't be afraid to blend regular pc
players with vr players unless your game
is really going to be pushing itself
towards a very specific style of combat
that benefits one of the two but
generally speaking for a normal first
person shooter the two populations will
blend your vr people will have a little
advantage and you might have to design
around that a little bit but it's
nowhere near the disparity of
controllers versus mouse and keyboard
i'd say go for it vr devs go for a game
dance blend the two audiences have cross
play don't worry about it too much let
people have fun uh controllers and mouse
and keyboard though i think you should
probably keep those separate for a
little while longer
