+[Music] me name sony welcome back to another vr video today we are back in project x uh and i am dressed as a chubby cat now why am i dressed as puppy cat um i got the hat on oh yes i do uh why am i dressed as a tubby cat well that's very simple i have finally done a lot of work behind the scenes you can see i've also got a tail now um yes so i've been doing a lot of uh behind the scenes work and uh managed to get some upgrades to the watch in fact uh but before we uh show you the actual watch menu updates now it's not perfect yet it's uh it's still on the go um for a much better watch system but uh i still have all of my usual controls right and what i do have as well is the new skinning system now it's not just character you know the skin itself the texture that's replaceable it also replaces pieces so obviously the tail here is a piece that can be replaced i am wearing a hat it looks very awkward without the hat but uh with the tubby hat removed in fact i'll leave it on for the next one so of course i've got the eggman skin from the previous video and you'll immediately notice that it's more than just the the textures you can see i've got that cubbiness that i mentioned in the last video i i was going to do some scaling um but there we go so we've got the scalable uh customizations custom skins and uh let's take this hat off so that the eggman looks a little bit less funny um and there we go yeah back to back to the usual except i have this chubbiness now it doesn't affect the physics i shall switch over to oh not that camera mode there we go zoom out and back to player skins so there we go uh dressed as eggy but i do have some additions though as well uh before we do that though i have some more controls on here and the first one is strength there we go so now as you can see from the previous videos i had the sort of strength set high i mentioned this in the first video where i was doing a lot of climbing and you can see here that i'm very easily able to grab onto things let's do that again i'm very easily able to grab onto things without much effort right so here we go do the climbing and let's keep the camera over to the side so when climbing it's as simple as using one hand grab climb grab climb nice and easy right really really easy and really quick however [Music] that is not perfect because that is uh over the top strength right i intentionally increased the strength so that climbing was nice and easy if i switch back to normal strength and i've finally managed to get the strength modifiers in real time um so i can actually modify them on the fly now using the using the watch now you'll see that it's a little bit different in terms of me trying to climb so here we go and as you can see in fact i'll switch on the controllers so that you can actually see this here we go controller zoom over here and as you can see from the controllers they're right here as i lift them with one hand my controllers down here right now much much more difficult to actually climb i don't know what happened there and as you can see i can't just fling myself right it's impossible for me to fling myself so now i kind of have to use two hands now i really do feel like eggman i used to always call him robotnik by the way like i don't like the name eggman it's clearly just a nickname but um when you read the actual sonic comics the official ones before the current series uh the arty comics that were going on for about 30 years um when you read those they actually have a legitimate storyline for why he became he's not robotnik and now egma is a different character by the way it's like there's a lot of crazy stuff going on in that in that series but uh yeah a lot of creativity as well that i think of from there uh but there we go let's switch the controls back off and you can see that lifting objects has the exact same problem so here these are the empty barrels nice and easy one-handed no problem empty barrel but the red barrel i am lifting my controllers right now so if i switch on the controllers there we go very very heavy i can lift them but i can't lift them completely of course if i crouch down yeah put it on my shoulder there we go nice and easy lifted it but if i switch over to low strength mode the high strength mode even now i can just pick them up nice and easy [Laughter] so there we go that's strength mode right so i'll leave strength on high and then i'll switch speed mode on now let's have a look at why we're doing speed mode so that's what today's video is about mainly is the sonic mod yay so i've got uh a really unusual looking i haven't got any hat on right okay a really unusual looking sonic i i remodeled the the hat myself um so here we go let's get the camera over to here and you can see that i actually can move nice and fast as well sorry box i can actually move nice and fast and uh yeah there we go it looks really good and zoom out again the other thing you'll notice is that when i do the skins when i cusLine truncated
