Preorder it, goyim!
>ships april 1st
what are they trying to tell us.
>>53098721
Go ahead and buy them. Be an early adopter, this will truly be the right decision for your life. Nevermind the fact that you will be able to buy those things for 300$ within a year. Just do it.
>>53098906
You know exactly what.
Oy vey you don't want to miss out on the latest gaming technology do you? We need your yearly $1000 contribution to keep up with our ever flourishing gaming industry!
I'd say go and buy it goys!!! I mean guys!!!

>>53098721
Are both Vive and CV2 selling at a loss? If vive is not then htc will end up being the next apple. Buying two rifts will just increase their losses meanwhile buying two vives actually ends up supporting htc.
>>53098927
Even 300 is too much for two small ass screens fitted in some googles and technology that was available with the xbox 360
go outside and get a fucking job gaming is for kids for fucks sake
better have an 8k screen with instant motion tracking.
VR is a gimmick till we get something that can interrupt the senses like the nervegear anyways or that can actually be worn without looking like you are wearing a mecha helmet
>>53101598
It's cheaper than the Rift most likely if you add the fact Touch is going to cost $200
Tax and shipping makes the Vive a no brainer if they don't fuck that up like Oculus.

Enjoy needing 4 way SLI GTX980 TIs to run games at 30 FPS. Do you idiots even think before you post the specs that you expect?
>>53101598
If Oculus' touch controllers are more than $200, it basically will be.
Rift = Headset + LOLPad + shit remote
Vive = Headset + Touch controllers + base stations e.g. everything you need
Well, there goes VR for me. No way I'm spending a 1000 on a glorified smartphone.

Are you retarded? Did you expect to be able to walk down to your local Walmart and buy this shit in the bargain aisle? Building a computer to meet the minimum specs will set you back $800 and may not even run the games at a high enough FPS to be playable in a couple years, a computer for the recommended specs now days will set you back $1,100, and a computer built to still meet the recommended specs in a few years would cost about $1,700. If you want enthusiast hardware, expect to pay enthusiast prices. Anyone who was expecting this shit to be cheap was a moron.
>>53102084
Have you actually tried VR?
>>53103116
I also wouldn't pay $10 for a cup of coffee, that doesn't mean I dont have $10 to spend.
The next time you're considering if you're an idiot that wont accomplish shit in life, just remember that you thought that up, wrote it out, read it over, and didn't see a single flaw with it.
You're literally fucking retarded.

i got to play around with the samsung gear vr i think it is called. Just playing around with that one, sold me on buying it for porn. For sure!!
One of them bad boys with a flesh light, and i think females are going to need to step it up.
Who the hell is going to develop games for such a niche demographic? You are going to end up with eighter a lot of small mini games/tech demos, or $200 normal games
Think I'll wait for the steam summer sale

Entertainment?
Books are entertainment.
TV, movies, video games...those are just depressing because of how mediocre almost all of them are.
>>53103602
You take a regular game and make a VR version of it which is what many are doing.
played around on a jurassic world vr game, played some game you need to use your head to aim and you shoot balls at targets incoming. I mean its pretty cool and stuff, i think it will be cool for movies and stuff. If you can use the high end vr headsets for 3d movies, id buy one.
Cool lil tech toy. Porn is going to go on a new lvl! when you can turn your head and look on the side of a bitch and shit, going to be cool

This. VR, while "Consumer Ready" is at the enthusiast stage. What I think will really take off this year is VR arcades. The average person doesn't know how to build a computer that can run VR, and there will be the people that just buy expensive pre-builts designed for VR, but the only people that are really going to use this Gen is enthusiasts and places that will offer rent-to-use pricing like arcades.
That being said, I've tried it and I am perfectly happy paying 800$ and being an enthusiast first-adopter. It truly is amazing. If you haven't tried VR with tracked controllers, you haven't seen what VR is capable of.
This is going to be the Generation where people learn about VR at the consumer level, but Gen 2/3 will be when VR really starts to take off and people start investing more into it.
>>53106674
>the only people that are really going to use this Gen is enthusiasts and places that will offer rent-to-use pricing like arcade
I think it's too early to say this before we know what PSVR will cost.
>>53106674
In any case, Samsung Gear VR is sufficient for most multimedia uses. $100 assuming you already have an S6 or S7. It's only for gaming that you'll have to dish out the big bucks.
>>53103641
Wow. You must be such an educated individual. Please, tell me how you learned what defines true entertainment.
Enjoy imagining worlds in your head while the rest of us walk around in them.
>>53106718
True, but since the PSVR apparently needs an external rendering chip because the PS4 can't handle 120 fps, I don't have my hopes up. It will come fast and hard though, similar to smartphones (though obviously not at the same volume).
>>53098721
Rift or Vive /g/? My Rift preorder doesn't ship till June and I'm considering cancelling it now.
The year of the Patrician escapist device
>there are people that actually think vr is the future of gaming
>>53106791
But the worlds in my head are vastly richer than any pathetic attempt to render in virtual space the ideas of some dim game developer could ever hope to be.
On a more serious note though, I have yet to experience a video game that got me as emotionally invested or intellectually stimulated as novels have on numerous occasions.
VR is dead on arrival. I might literally get a GF just to spite the VR manufacturers for being jews trying to get my anime bux.
Why can't they just give us a dopamine toggle switch already?
How long until we get a realistic VR recreation of D-Day that we can use with one of those stand and run and crouch and jump and sit thingies?
>>53107077
A better question would be to ask if you'd still be alive. Does your family have any history of cancer?
>>53106889
Don't cancel, scalp it, noob. Then wait to see which one is better.

Vive should have a better VR experience at least until the Touch controllers are out.
I'm sticking with the Rift though since the Vive isn't getting any Japanese games/content.
>>53108045
>>I'm sticking with the Rift though since the Vive isn't getting any Japanese games/content.
I'm going with the Vive but I am kinda worried about this. I'm thinking things will be easily ported however and maybe a bunch of devs will switch once HTC gets more units out. HTC is closer to Japan after all.
Honestly I'm on the fence. Oculus already works with shitting fuck tons of content. What can the Vive actually be used with? I've never found anything tangible aside from some garbage indie games.
Oculus you get to use with virtually any game with a first person view, it plugs into unity, UE4, MMD etc effortlessly, a lot of Japanese companies are building support for it and PSVR in but Ive heard nothing about Vive.
Aside from coming with the motion controllers, what perk does it have? What can you -actually- use it with?
>>53108240
>what perk does it have?
Room scale and motion controls are standard.
Oculus might have more games but the majority are for use with a gamepad at launch. As someone that has already tried a bunch of those with a DK2 they don't really interest me much.
UE4 and Unity both have SteamVR plugins for Vive. It pretty much has the same support dev wise on engine level.
>>53102775
Good reason for gpu makers to step up their game and build better cards
>>53108240
>What can you -actually- use it with?
I know it's reddit but this is a good list, it's pretty sizable

>Not thinking your CPU would turn into the bottleneck
We're already seeing 980 Ti's get bottle necked at 4k by even a 5930k / 5960x Maybe you should tell Intel to step up their shit. Or should we all build dual xeon systems when pascal launches?
>>53108368
>https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/wiki/index
-shrug- If it's reliable info who cares where it's posted. Though this kind of confirms what I thought before, Vive can only work in games designed for it / ported to it. Can't run say, Borderlands or some shit like you can with the Rift?
>>53101194
Nah, job simulator is all too real

>>53108417
>Borderlands or some shit like you can with the Rift?
You can't run Borderlands with the Rift. You use 3rd party drivers like VorpX which work with varying degrees. There aren't any for the Vive yet but honestly they work like shit anyway. You at least need some mods along with those drivers to make things sort of ok. You don't want to bother.
>>53108383
Maybe you should tell nVidia to step up their driver game...
>>53108417
Oh and I guess VorpX plans to have Vive support but this isn't really anything you should put much weight on for choosing one or the other honestly. Base it on the library of games that are actually ported over or have a good mod support. I can tell you now that Borderlands will play like shit unless someone does a good deal of mod support on it.
>>53098721
You're still gonna need webm related for a good VR experience
That means it actually costs $1800
Without even counting the required high end PC

>>53108489
Plays fine on my DK2. You guys do realize the mods from the guys at widescreen can be easily edited for rift as far as UI etc goes, right?
I've been using VorpX for tons of games and enjoying having that option. If Vive is yet or possibly ever to have something of that nature... Not worth the money.
>>53106889
why would you cancel now? wait until you see if you can get an earlier ship date for the vive.
not everyone will be able to get in on the April ship date
>>53108676
Well suit yourself, I've tried stuff with VorpX and it was just a waste of money. Normal games with Rift just isn't a good VR experience. And I'm not talking about UI mods but hey if you can force yourself though it more power to you.
>>53108696
>not everyone will be able to get in on the April ship date
Valve and HTC has said they won't have the pre-order issues like Oculus being backed up but hey who knows for sure.
There's really no reason to cancel an Oculus order now as you don't need to pay until it ships.
