This. This is literally my dream. What is this called?
>>322870818
No, you should wait until there's actual worthwhile software beyond tech demos to justify the purchase.
>>322870818
There is a good time, you just won't know when it is until after the fact

What are the chances they are gonna sell out tomorrow?
Should I stay up. I don't even know if I want them. Do we have some sort of fantasy MMO to go with them because that's all I really want.
>>322871308
100%. I'm guessing within a few hours only because they didn't give much notice.

Ha.
Didn't they also end up selling more like 200k DK2s?
What can you even fucking do with VR though besides porn? There's not much games out there that support it much.
>>322872075
Dude wtf
>>322872648
Can't I just fuck your waifu in peace without everyone knowing about it?
Seriously, is there even a reason to care about VR if you don't want to fugg and anime?
That's why we're all interested right?
There aren't really people who want immersive truck driving are there?
How GPU/CPU intensive is the Oculus?
>>322872747
I own a DK2 here, used it for show, it's quite a decent experience, the displays are fucking pixel 640x480 looking bullshit, so you can "tell" that it's not crystal clear, but if you look past it and try to have some fun, it's quite decent, and I'm a picky motherfucker, I hate videogames and have this ULTRA HIGH standard.
The rift2 when you use a controller will make you have motion sickness after a while.
Plugging it into the flight game in UE4 is fun but that shit runs like ass, and if a game isn't 75FPS then it runs like dog shit, it stutters, and lags behind so it's all kinds of fucked up, killing any experience.
But it's a decent experience when it works, I won't play horror games, that shit is just 2 spooky.

For the full Rift experience, we recommend the following system:
Video Card NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater
CPU Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
Memory 8GB+ RAM
Video Output Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
USB Ports 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port
OS Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer
>>322872968
Do you even know how many fucking people brought euro truck simulator 1 and 2, the answer is TOO many, but they're "comfy" games and would be fun.
Ok but how much is it?

There are tons of local trucking jobs. Some even have you home every day. It pays well and if truck drivers weren't around, a lot of people would starve to death.

I want you to sit back and think about how much of your life span this web site has cost you.

We live in the most comfortable time for goods transportation man. Shits just gonna get more existential from this point on man.
>>322873118
You should totally play horror games with it.
Who's excited for the shipping date?
Palmer said they want to do it Apple style. As in, open pre-orders, and ship two weeks later.
>>322873175
>Self-driving trucks in 10 years
Sorry meatbag, you're old hat
>>322870207

>No price announced.
That's fucking insane. Is there any precedent for this?
They must be hiding something, I'm guessing like $650.
>>322873714
I'm more excited about the jabbering and shit flinging that are going to engulf these threads once they announce that the thing is more expensive than people think.
>>322873757
Like how no one works in retail since Self-Service Checkouts were implemented right?
>>322873856
I dunno. Palmer said that the price of a Rift Ready PC + Rift + Touch would be around 1500.
So I'm hoping 399 for the Rift, but it's probably gonna be upwards of 499.
>>322873892
Humour me
Funny you mention that though since I recently saw a newsagent/magazine store at an airport that was entirely self check out
THE WAIFU AGE IS HERE LADS
>>322873959
$400 for the Rift? The dev kit 2 was only $250 though.
>>322874132
And I saw a vending machine selling soda.
>>322874192
Wasn't it 350?
Anyway, the CV1 is going to be in another league entirely.
>>322874184
I'm putting my faith in Japan and I imagine it'll be fully immersive in a decade or so
>>322874192
The higher res screens will probably bump up the cost quite a bit
>>322873175
It's good to see literal animefags suffer
>>322874298
As will the custom lenses and all the mechanical parts for the ergonomics.
They already said it's not going to be more than 300, you dumbfucks.

If you actually believe that, you're in for a rude awakening in five and a half hours.
>>322874542
my fetish
>>322874443
have a source other than your asshole?
devkits were $350, and the consumer release includes a controller, games, and upgraded hardware so I really don't see $300 happening.
>>322873220
999,99 €
Wait so is this the actual good one?
Full resolution?
Fuck i wanted to get one of these, when do i actually get it if i preorder?
Why the fuck are we suddenly preordering hardware
And how late will i get one if i miss the boat tomorrow
>>322874893
I'm seeing 400$ because of the controller mostly, but the games don't add to the cost of the device. More than likely facebook payed a flat sum to push those games out for free on the rift.
Any waifu simulators out or did Jewbook blocked those too along with porn?
>>322874893
they confirmed that it was going to cause more than the dev kits, so it has to be more than $350.
i hope not by too much.
it seems like the vive is going to be the top notch premium product and the rift will be the affordable option.
>inspect element actually works
Bravo, facebook
Should I actually submit the order?
>>322875058
Not selling porn on their official store =/= "blocking porn". You can run any third party content you want.
>>322875020
What the fuck controller, what, why
I'm sure it's nothing special and just jacks up the fucking price and has less compatability with games than an Xbox 360 one
What the fuck
>>322875020
And the platformer was going to sell like shit anyway because of the Rift's audience.
>>322875143
Okay I submitted it
Guess I can go to bed now
>>322875170
It's an xbone controller, they got it from microsoft directly so it won't jack up the price that much, and the reason they put it in is so that every dev making a game for the Rift could assume their users have one.
>>322875143
Link?
>>322873853
I'm tired of these tactics, First4Figures always does that shit. What is worse lately they have been letting their inner Jew run wild.
They dropped a Okami statue and it was around 430 USD and 600 Canadian dollars at least.
These assholes better not surprise me in the same shit fashion.

holy shit if that ships so quickly
>>322875283
nigger how
maybe they ban you lol
>>322875292
But the xbone controller is fucking shit, the 360 one is better
What the fuck man
>>322870901
Stupid Shit: For Weeaboos
Do I buy this or a more expensive 4k monitor?
>>322875639
Probably depends on what you plan to do with it.
>>322875689
I plan to play video games. I'm guessing it's compatable with just regular old video games that don't have rift support
>>322872747
I've used them for research in a lab setting before. It was a stupid experiment if you ask me, but funded research nonetheless.
>>322875536
The d-pad instantly makes the 360 controller absolute shit. I'm not even going to mention the .0005 cent analog sticks that start wearing out in a month.
>>322875772
Compatible? You're probably gonna be able to play them on a virtual desktop, yeah. But the image quality on that is going to be worse than on a good monitor.
There's also stuff live VorpX that you could use to hack VR support into games, but I really don't know how well that actually works.
>>322875772
no, not at all. the game has to be configured for vr.
>>322875772
Good luck finding an affordable 60hz 4k monitor.
>>322875639
4k is fucking shit.
I have 4k monitor, it's garbage in windows 10 if you want to run a 1080p monitor next to it, if you fire up the 4k monitor first before the 1080p you won't have REAL issues, if you want to play games get a GTX 970/980 if you want to run things half decent.
I WISH I got https://www.pccasegear.com/products/28275 instead, because the extra hz would have been nicer, and 2500 res is above 1080p and would have looked still great, I might get one this year along side a pascal 3d card.
4k looks nice, don't get me wrong, but if you don't have XFIRE/SLI or a high end card, then you're wasting your cash, because you will have to run everything medium/low if you have a budget pc.
>>322875639
Get a 120hz monitor instead, it makes a big difference.
>>322876061
If you have a budget PC, you have no business using a Rift CV1 either.
>>322875951
I have the rift 2 and tried vorpx, I was fucking around with left4dead 2, it was working OK, but then there was a METRIC FUCKTUN of tweaks, at the end of it I took the headset off and my vision was FUCKED like crosseyed for a few hours.
Fuck that shit.

>bought a DK2
>expected there to be a decent amount of porn, even if it was still experimental
>99% of it is literally just nude MMD models twitching around
There has been only one NSFW demo for the DK2 that I would actually call "great". The atmosphere is perfect. The model is nice. The animations are smooth. The controls aren't shit. (One of the biggest flaws is that most demos don't give you anything beyond the standard Unity control bindings, so most of the time you can't repositiion the "camera", so you have to move the sensor or your seating position.) It has one of my fetishes. It's great.
These screenshots really don't do it justice at all. In the rift, this thing looks great.

What about Valve's vr? Is it going to be shit?
I really don't want to support Facebook.
>>322870558
Early adopter? What are you on about?
Did you even see DK1 and DK2?
Not to mention all the other competitor and kickstarter headsets.
Now's the right time to support VR
>>322876226
You know there's no fucking monitor out that's 4k AND DOES 144hz you mongoloid, and if it did, because displayport 1.4 isn't out, you don't have enough bandwidth for that shit.
Please link me to prove me wrong, I want a 4k 144hz monitor, you fucking shitty troll.

firestrike bench marking tool.
oculus guys recommended a score ofover 9,000
I'm running a 4670K with a 980Ti.
Probably gonna upgrade my CPU so that it won't be a bottleneck, or is it enough to just OC it?
>>322876709
I brought 2 radeon 290's when they just came out, they're more than enough for what I need, going a single card for a gtx 980 is fucking stupid, I would rather wait for pascal and get 2 high end cards that will SHIT ON everything that's out now.

This is always the case with any purchase.
>>322876709
Yeah but you really shouldn't buy a card that's almost 1.5 years into its life cycle.
>>322877026
True.
>>322876238
Fuck that.
>>322870818
The best time to buy is always once the device has been cracked open allowing for full exploitation of its software and firmware.
>>322877023
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_handicap_of_a_head_start
Buying into a GTX 980 TI now, would be fucking stupid, the definition of a moron, the price is $1000+ for 1 card, for 2 cards that's $2000.
$2000 I could spend now, or wait 6 months for pascal, that's 10 times the power with 1 card, even if it costs $2000 I'll be ahead and the fucking card will last another 2 years or till Volta comes out, depends how often upgrading tickles your dick.
ANYONE that invests in a GTX 980 or EXPENSIVE card now has mental issues.
For further explanation.
Say, 1 GTX 980 is 100% power, adding another is +80%, so now you have 180% total power, pascal tech is suppose to be 10 times the power, which is 1000% power compared to a GTX 980.
You gain 820% more power for 1 card than with 2 GTX 980's, EVEN if pascal was twice as powerful than a GTX 980, you're better off with pascal tech because you won't have to deal with SLI BULLSHIT.
>>322877626
>the price is $1000+ for 1 card
You fucking what
>>322877680
http://computers.scorptec.com.au/search#w=GTX%20980
Being australian is suffering, if you were going to buy a GTX 980, get a seahawk so you can overclock.
>>322876824
>going a single card for a gtx 980 is fucking stupid
Yes, yes indeed it is especially when even the 980Ti was later released better perf/dollar than the 980 even currently.
I fell for VR direct mode and "full" DX12 support, was intent on getting a saphire 290X for nearly half the price otherwise.
Still too early to tell whether Nvidia or AMD would be better for VR. Pascal introducing async compute is an omen to bad times ahead for maxwell.
But what's done is done, I hope someone makes a hardware agnostic version of MRS, or nvidia makes it such that it can be enabled regardless whether the game uses gameBorksVR or not.
MRS seems extremely useful for increasing framerate in VR. Would be a shame if it was locked to games using gameWorksVR.
>>322877919
Damn, how can the AUSD be so fucked up
>>322878365
Because according to xe.com, $1.00 AUD = 0.707282 USD.
It's absolute horse shit.

>>322876671
What are your specs? Mine is barely above 10000
>>322877626
>pascal
>10x the power
u wot m8?
they stated 10x compute and that is in some special "deep learning" algorithm they tested it on which is extremely biased in their favor.
Compute power on some special algorithm is no performance indicator for gaymen. Wait until benchmarks are out showing performance under practical use.
I think it will be another incremental upgrade, if it is twice the power that would be great but knowing nvidia they will want to milk the goyem for a few more generations since shrinking to the next node is taking longer and longer.
Case in point, 28nm.
>>322876408
I am >>322878659
>>322878867
Fuck, messed up the quotes. Should still be clear.
>>322878867
Does the 980 TI really make that big of a difference? I'm just using a 970, still good enough for VR at the moment though.
>>322874132
as long as I see the kind if idiots you can't use the self checkout without being handheld the whole way by attendants you don't see retail die
>>322879023
Fuck yes it does, even more so if you buy the 6GB card.
>>322878804
16nm is pascal.
With directx 12 and pascal, maybe you might see the sweat off my balls for the higher texture density.
After this, gaming is going to have to "go back" to FUN games, because graphical fidelity is at a peak where it's not going to make a difference.
Oh wait they will make a scene about 8k and 60FPS or other unimportant shit, 60FPS is important though.
>>322876408
Yay?
>>322879123
Whelp, time to start saving I guess.

>>322879469
>Maximum Resolution 2560 x 1440.
Try again.
Also "turbo mode" sound ghetto as fuck.
>>322879023
It's almost as fast as two 970s in SLI.
will it work for people who have glasses ?
>>322880087
Yes, it has like a screw on the side that pushes the display out.
>>322876238
NOPE
>>322879175
8K and higher important for VR though since the quality of looking at a display through lenses is lower than that of a display of equivalent resolution without the optics.
5K per eye is the minimum required, 16k per eye is the limit apparently beyond which you won't see a noticeable difference at max FoV.
Combine foveated rendering and that future doesn't look to distant. Display tech is advancing faster than hardware can keep up with these days.
With monitors the larger and large the resolution the larger the monitor you require at the same viewing distance to notice a difference.
With VR it is similar deal, but you benefit more from large PPI since the screen is right in your face with optics so you don't get eye strain allowing your eyes to focus at a more comfortable distance.
The display wraps around your field of vision which would require more pixels at the same PPI. Can't wait for foveated rendering, at some point an HMD will require less computation power to drive games/programs compared to a monitor with the same pixel density.
At some point when the PPI is high enough that going higher would be indistinguishable monitors will start to feel like a downgrade.
I don't think monitors will be replaced anytime soon, especially in applications where you want more than one person to be able to see the content without blocking their vision or requiring their own special device. Even then we might see AR receiving such widespread adoption that every mother and her unborn child has access to them much like smart phones these days. Shouldn't be impossible to have public content that everyone could connect to and see.
FUTUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE
im certain the games i would want to play in 3d i could without issue.
but, i will wait for reviews/in store demo.
>>322880848
>670
Dude the recommended GPU is a 970. Run the firemark demo.
>>322880848
whats your 3d mark score? your cpu is fine but i dont know about you gpu
>>322881093
this is the score i got when i built the computer years ago, i have not the patience to test it out again.
>>322881241
This is useless. You want a result table/comparison like >>322879492 to see if you're ready.
The program is free and it takes like 5 minutes.
>>322870697
you know she's 3d too right
>>322880964
>>322881337
the main factor is, i only have two games that might pose a challenge being rendered in 3D.
otherwise there is no point even building something new to play half life.
min specs mean nothing if the games that you play are orders of magnitude simpler than whats being showcased.
but thanks brah
>>322876408
I feel ready.
Not happy about score though, but system isn't overclocked at all.
Seems okay. Waiting on Pascal to upgrade GPU.
>>322882607
Fucking hell mate, what 980Ti are you running?

Depends.
Sometimes I feel like the SLI makes games run like shit if they don't support it so I'm forced to use a single card. But it really does shine with games that support it (100+ frames with max settings Witcher 3 + hair physics).
I guess i can lower some settings, r-right?
>>322883420
is this from that one will it run site? does it have oculus rift specs?
>>322883585
Read the thread yo
>getting hype for pre-order unlock of hardware
>>322870207
Is it really 599 dollydoos? How much in Euros?
>>322883756
They're going to announce the price in three hours and ten minutes.
But I wouldn't be surprised if it cost 600 dollars, no.
>>322876238
was that Quake?
>>322883851
That 'pre-order' confirmation can be easily faked.
poorfag reporting
A Rift is probably going to cost more than the components of my PC at current pricesI'm really just waiting for Pascal
>>322875003
Ei vitussa? Meen kattoo ite verkkokaupan...
voi jumalauta. juu ei tuu ostettuu tätä paskaa
:DDDD
>>322883907
What, that thing from upthread somewhere? That's definitely a fake. But I still wouldn't be surprised if it cost 600 dollars.
lol?

The concept art from 2013 definitely inspires confidence, there.
>>322884227

it's real

>>322883884
Quake 4, Yeah.
>>322884282
It's real in that it's a real screenshot from a real webpage where someone still used the concept image from 2013.
>>322875385
well memed,
really
>>322884395
Yeah I'm sure you didn't imply anything like the smart illiterate person you are.
>>322870207
i couldnt deal with the motion sickness in first person games, probably wont get a retail unit
>>322884513
I implied that the person who put it up didn't actually have any insider information or whatever, because they still used that same fucking concept art from 2013.
Or was it 2012, actually? Might have been 2012.
>>322884629
that site is bad at updating shit like that
but it is buyable right now for that price
I don't which would be more frustrating:
They're buttering us up because it's 700 USD or
They're buttering us up because it ships April 30th.
>>322885463
there is no way it ships in april
700USD is a possibility but it would be suicide, I don't even expect the Vive to cost that much.
500 most likely, I am hoping 450 or less

>>322885463
It's gonna be $499
They're buttering it because it's a lot more than the original $350 or under estimate when the final release was supposed to be a more ergonomic DK2.

doesnt that pretty much say that it will not be months

>>322870207
OP pics proves why it's going to fail. Event he most fanatics zealots have to go 3rd person view to advertise the experience of 1st person view. Even the most brain dead paid chills can't like the products for what it is, and are trying hard to deceive people on it already.
>>322886349
The fuck are you even trying to say, retard
>>322873674
Space trucking sound great though.
I'd bring a ton of old Howard Stern and movies. It would be great.
>>322886452
*tips fedora*
>>322870207
I'm buying two
>>322886707
Can I have one please?
is there even a reason to buy one yet?
id much rather wait until there is a decent library of games, if there will be one
>tfw pretty much good enough
the goal is run games at slightly higher than 1080p, at 90hz. I can manage that
I already did the test and it seems I'm due for an upgrade
is a i5-4690k enough for oculus? the thing that matters is grafix, right?
>>322886870
I have the DK2. I'm bored with it.
You can only play games designed for it.
>want oculus to play porn games and euro truck sim 2
>probably $450 for oculus
>$300 for 970
>$300 for a steering wheel
>unknown amount for masturbation device
when will it end
>>322886870
Games aren't even gonna be half of the content for it. There are a lot of companies involved in making content for it, from porn to social stuff to Hollywood.
>>322886926
2160×1200 90 Hz
>>322887131
That's bullshit, almost any game I look up has a video of it working with the headset.
>>322887345
yh, slightly higher than 1080p. (depends on your definition of slightly). I can get that in pretty much anything if I'm willing to bump down a few settings
>>322887209
okay, are there any decent porn yet?
I think im gonna need a job to afford all this shit. How long is it going to take to learn coding for an entry job if you study like 6-8 hours a day?
>>322887147
>unknown amount for masturbation device
How much does your hand cost?
>>322887510
there are a lot of 360 videos but that's not really ideal
there's good stuff like this in the works though
https://vine.co/v/eZegVJJrhZV
>>322887363
The games would need the head tracking modded in and such.
>>322887832
It's definitely not $350. They already said it's gonna be more than that.
I estimate a $499 tag
>>322887832
>being this retarded
As expected of mainstream journalism.
>>322887832
rift - justwerks iphone
vive - android shit
>>322876201
could at least tell me what it is
>>322887832
Ridiculous. Oculus is 400 at least, and Vive is at least 600.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for the price. That said I think I'm going to wait until the "console" wars are pretty much won. I don't want to be that guy with a HD-DVD player after Blu-ray won.
AR IS THE FUTURE
>YES THE OCULUS TOUCH CONTROLLES ARE GONNA BE HUGE
>YOU CAN LITERALLY USE YOUR HANDS AS CONTROLLERS WITH THE VIVE THIS IS THE FUTURE
When will you retards STOP FALLING FOR THIS CRAP AGAIN AND AGAIN? No one wants to wave their arms around to controll their game, no one wants to play their videogames standing upright for anything other than short lived simulators/experiences. The great appeal of these goggles are that they replace exactly the element of gaming that is actually completely interchangable, the monitors.
Once you start dreaming of alternate controlls and augmented reality and horrible touch controllers you are so deep into Kinect terretory that i can literally taste Gate's asshole. Don't get the vive for 200 dollarydoos more than the rift because you like teh premise of AR which you will not use for anything other than 3 tech demos, Don't pick up the stupid oculus touch controlls unless you are the type of autist to actually use it for something creative like live modelling or 3d paintings.
Trust me as someone with the disposable income to own both rift develoopment kits, to have developed with it for several years now, and to have tested the oculus touch controlls and the previous vive model. DON'T BUY INTO THE KINECT MEME-TIER TECHNOLOGY. JUST GET THE HEADSET WITH YOUR PREFERED FOV AND SPECS TO YOUR LIKING. Don't do it because fuckerberg wants your sheckles either, do it because those vr monitors actually work with no delay and perfect tracking. Trust me, those controllers do NOT! And if you honestly trust valvue to push technology so far that a SINGLE NON 3d CAMERA can track your hands better in a 3d space than oculus' hand dildos i honestly want you to be as dissapointed as you are doomed to be.
I honestly fear that the shitty focus on AR and motion controlls is gonna drag VR down with it.
>>322888269
Oculus has repeatedly said it won't meet their 350 goal and HTC has repeatedly said Vive would be significantly more expensive than Oculus plus includes motion controllers. Those are lowest possible prices, I expect both to be higher.
i guess i can OC a bit if i need to
>>322888528
The Vive camera stuff is total bullshit made up by Valvedrones. HTC only demonstrated its use for chaperone and never implied using it as hands. People here are just dumb.

okay
USB ports
3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port
Wait what? It requires FOUR usb ports to run?
What the fuck?
>>322889057
It only needs 2 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 (Xbone wireless). The extra USB 3.0 is for the additional camera if you use the Touch controllers.
>>322888528
oculus isn't even sold with motion controls and this thread is about the oculus preorder, you enormous fucking retard. they are optional and won't even be available for a long time after the oculus launch
The release date has been leaked.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4PJSUcVSMg
>since the system doesn't come out for 3-4 more months
You guys had me all worried that my laptop wouldn't be good enough for the rift.
I'm somewhat relieved that my waifus won't be taken from me.
>>322889057
Camera x2
Headset (Audio and telemetry)
Wireless controller adapter
>>322889057
That is the maximum required. Assuming a Touch is added.
1xUSB 2.0 is for xbone controller dongle
1x USB 3.0 is for the included camera
1x USB 3.0 is for the headset
The 1 additional USB 3.0 is for the addon camera that ships with Touch.
