Vinz Group: Members Posts: 253 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: May 25 2000, 11:28 Since the last update of the Sonic Virtual Reality, the site has been transfered on some ftp sites. And if you use a proxy, like me, to connect to the internet, you can't see anything ! You have to manage with your system administrator to allow you to see this kind of site ! And if he doesn't want to allow you... Too bad ! So the Sonic Virtual Reality adventure is finished for me unless I found another way to connect myself to the internet... Why can't be this site a normal http site ? -------------- Rejoignez la Tubular Mailing List francophone ! http://www.tubular.free.fr/tubular.php Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 25 2000, 14:44 Don't worry about that...the only thing that the site downloads from an FTP (as far as I know) is the [ugly ]Sonic VR logo. Everything else is still in HTML...but now there's not much to see (or hear) on the site: the sound samples are disappeared (but you can still find 'em on www.venture.force9.co.uk) and the images are, IMHO, nothing better than the previous ones...

I'll wait the next album... -------------- Cheers, GMOVJ [URL=http://tubular.fodplanet.com]http://tubular.fodplanet.com[/URL] - The french speaking mailing list Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 26 2000, 05:57 That's very strange, GMOVJ... I have a normal Dial-up connection and I see everything...no direct download from FTP sites. Anyway, I repeat, right now there's nothing really worth seeing or hearing. I'd advise you to try again in September... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

GMOVJ Group: Members Posts: 273 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: May 26 2000, 10:21 Yes Ugo, VR is (IMHO) not very important... But look, what a little shame !!!! <META name="keywords" content="Mike Oldfield, Sonic Reality, Sonic VR, 3D, Tubular Bells, Virtual Reality, MP3, Music, New Age, Computer Graphics"> Even MO said that He's not involved in New Age (I don't remember where I saw this...) ! Webmaster must understood Terry instead of Mike ! -------------- Cheers, GMOVJ [URL=http://tubular.fodplanet.com]http://tubular.fodplanet.com[/URL] - The french speaking mailing list Back to top

Pedro Gabriel Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Dec. 29 2000, 11:40 Why V reality will not be sucessfull: 1-Mike´s music is great but there no chance to compete visually with big companies with the knowlegde to do (if they wanted) at least 100 times better (namely Squaresoft,namco). 2-No one will by a Pc program with just music and image. They´ll buy videogames. 3-Pc is no longer the choosen plataform for entertainment (PlayStation consoles are). 4-Peter Gabriel experiences in these area were good but didn´t sell. 5-Who would like to play "Myst" or "Riven" without a plot. 6-Mainly internet users are on-line from their offices while working,they won´t be able to listen to loud music while there. 7-Mike Olfield name stands for music not images. 8-Music is about emotions not hi-tech gerated envoirements Please forget the CD, focus on the DVD.There´s no point in interaction with 14"" screen.
