Is the Oculus Rift really as close to being dead on arrival has most people are saying?
I hope so.
Even if it wasn't, it got murdered by the vive.
>>54803107
Cuckerberg successfully ruined the fuck out of Oculus Rift. Their kickstarter promised that it would be an open source platform, and would have no DRM. But as soon as Cuckerberg bought them, It has DRM, and a proprietary store.
>>54803107
I cringe everytime i see a picture of that kike, He literally looks like some sort of reptile.
>>54803357
Wait, it's DRM now? The Kickstarter never said that are you sure?
>>54803477
Yep, you can only use the OR with games purchased from the OR store.
>>54803496
So, it's DOA.

Literally BLOWN the fuck out by HTC Vive before it even hit the shelves.

Why you buy rift instead vive?
>>54803524
>cheaper
>more comfortable
>lighter
>thinner/ less intrusive cables
>higher quality displays with less screen door effect
>much cleaner storefront
>superior active tracking
>oculus touch coming sometime in q3/ with gesture support and an extra tracking tower for full room
>valve so cucked they're even developing a version of chaperone just for oculus
There's literally going to be no reason to own a vive when touch comes out, save the front camera, and even that is a moot point with chaperone coming to rift
>>54803920
$200 cheaper, and >>54803929
I had the opportunity to try both, and rift just feels better. Vive is more fun, because of the motion controls, but I see no reason to pass up all the other positives with touch being released later this year.
>Inb4 oculus' bad business practices
That doesn't stop half of you from buying Nvidia
>>54803979
What's the best game on it so far?
>>54804537
So far, probably Dreadhalls. Scary as shit.
I actually wrote an article about it for wake and game, but you can find that yourself. I dislike shilling
>>54805155
You just did. If you had stopped at "I wrote an article about it" then you would've been ok, but you just had to push it.
It's ok though, I won't fault you.
>>54805223
Well, I kind of wanted to specify it wasn't for my personal blog or some shit... Not that the site is very big, anyway. I met the editor at momocon last year and hit on her, not knowing she was married. One thing led to another, and now I write for them from time to time
>>54803929
> superior active tracking
Complete bullshit. Lighthouse is not only wireless but is far less computationally wasteful than CV based positional tracking. Touch controllers suffer more from occlusion than the Vive wands and lose accuracy at much smaller distances. Lighthouse stomps all over Constellation.
Also, with Vive you don't have to install the malware that is Oculus Home on your PC.
>>54803979
It won't be $200 cheaper after you buy the controllers.
>>54803929
.02 cents have been transferred to your facebook account.
>>54805311
>source-my ass
Also, with the kind of subsidization they pulled off with rift, you really think touch will cost more than $100?
Keep trying to justify your purchase, goy.
>>54805692
> source
Oh bull fucking shit. It is incontrovertible that timing some photodiode activations is faster than performing bit pattern recognition and pose reconstruction on an image feed. Lighthouse is wireless and you can confirm by simply opening the goddamn Vive box. Fuck off.

Wasted lucky trips on asspain.

Next big thing in PC interaction, be it video games, social media, porn, Chinese comic book shitposting forums, whatever.
VR is dead
>>54806024
> 1 point of failure
Not true, where the Vive has light sensors, the rift has IR LEDs. They are analogous as pose reconstruction nodes and each one is a point of failure.
> upgradable firmware in both sensor and set
Lighthouse base stations and peripherals both have firmware that can be upgraded.
> tracking can be improved via updates
See above.
> don't need an array of dumbass looking sensors with line of sight
No, you just need an array of LEDs with line of sight. There is literally no reason to even bring up LOS in a discussion about the differences because any tracking system needs LOS. Unless you want to discuss the fact that the touch controllers being smaller means they're easier to occlude. Furthermore what the tracking looks like is irrelevant because when you're in VR you can't see the exterior of the headset. Putting form over function here is just being wasteful.
> doesn't lose its shit when tracking is lost, and defaults to positional tracking (or whatever they call it)
It's rotational tracking, actually. But yeah, this is the only advantage the rift has over the Vive's tracking.
You don't know jack shit about these tracking systems, and everything you said in your last post is a total distraction from the fact that you couldn't refute me regarding Lighthouse being more efficient.
>>54806170
>vive tracking can do everything oculus can...
>except keep its cool when los is lost
Soooo... Oculus is better, then?
>>54806170
>How can the base stations be updated if they're wireless, anon :^)
Vaporware.
Hype galore, prototypes that suck, no real interest beyond people wanting it for VR porn, no actual product. Not to mention closed walled facebook garden so nobody will be able to install anything on it except Cuckbook approved software
>>54806283
Strangely enough, I haven't seen so much as a single mention of Facebook on the oculus store. It's actually really well done, compared to steamvr, honestly. They went the console route, with the storefront and interface. It kind of reminds me of xbox 360's home interface, but less cluttered.
>>54806024
Holy shit what do they pay you?
>Steam VR a shit, big time.
Have you seen Oculus Home?

Considering the number of people with capable PCs, VR is doing fantastically atm.
>>54807374
>>Selling so fast, orders are still backed up by months
they didnt make enough, period.
>>54807518
Either way, seems to be doing well
>>54803107
VR is fucking retarded and as no useful application and ALL the vr games are shit, so hopefully it will die
>>54807576
its artificial product shortage. For instance you could only produce a limited number of your new product at launch not because you didnt have the money to make more, but because you wanted it to seem like it was "perpetually sold out". Thats one of the oldest tricks in the book
>>54807518
Meaningless post.

>He doesn't want Silent Hills to come back as a VR game

>>54807633
Have you ever taken a marketing class or read a book on marketing? Artificial demand is a real thing, especially when you deal with billion - trillion dollar companies
>>54807659
Can you name one trillion dollar company? I don't think you've read a book in your life junior.
>>54807680
States valued at over a trillion not giving their people basic things, like cuba
>>54807627
Considering the backlash and all the bad press they've been getting because of it I highly doubt that's the case.
>>54807724
they dont get bad press in old media, only on new media
>>54807729
If by old media you mean TV news? That isn't their market anyway so who cares? You still have places like CNN saying they fucked up.

What subsidization? It's not $250 better than the DK2 considering it came out 2 years later.
