Are you implying the Xbox 360 or the fucking Wii are better?
>>322984253
Where did I imply that? All I said was that it wasn't the "best" console. It had so many fucking problems, just like the 360 and Wii did. 7th gen was fucking garbage.
Does the Playstation VR have a price yet? Oculus is going to be absolutely dominated if the PS one is a couple hundred dollars cheaper
>>322983176
but, can it Ridge Racer?

If you're just buying the Rift for video games then you deserve to lose your manchild disability funds because VR is not a goddamn toy but a revolutionary technology for practical applications. Grow the fuck up /v/.
>>322987173
Is that you again?
>>322983892
Heavenly sword was pretty cool.
Too expensive for my tastes. I'll wait to see if it takes off and there's a price drop or model 2, just like any other sensible person would.
Don't forget the ~$400 dollar graphics card, too. And that's minimum, realistically you're talking $600ish for the graphics card and another $600 for the headset.
>people defending oculus
I want VR as much as the next neet but come on now.
I wasn't planning on getting one until at least the second generation anyways. Hopefully by then the price will be down and without buying a GTX 980 Ti.

I'll wait for htc and hope for the best
You know what, this would be fine if there were a bunch of new things to play on it. Seriously, instead of telling everyone that VR is the future and that its going to be amazing, SHOW US SOMETHING that you can do with it that you cant do anywhere else, and its good.

Rift is not a console. It's a $600 piece of headgear that requires you to have an at least $800 PC for it to even run properly. This shit is gonna flop for YEARS. If it ever takes off at all considering phone apps are being made as we speak that, when combined with a piece of cardboard, turn your phone into a 3D headset.
>>322984454
If the PS VR is 399 then I'm getting it instead of the oculus. 600 bucks is just too much man.
>>322989610
Jesus Christ Australia what happened to your currency?
>>322989974
Is the PS VR a standalone product or a peripheral for the PS4? If it's the latter I'd anticipate them selling it for less than the price of the console since as it is they already get most of their profit from game sales and PS+
>>322990193
America got back on their feet, shit sucks
>>322990193
Not just Australia. Based USD is cucking currencies around the world.
$600 is a reasonable price for the Oculus Rift

>yfw you read those required PC specs
ummm what

i thought this was for the mass consumers.
the only part that is shitty about the spec is the need for a 970 or greater.
my PC is perfect.
but i don't see people actually buying a PC with a 970+ GPU just for this.
Sony has the right idea adding VR to the PS4.
>>322990606
More than Canada?
>>322990869
Nope. It already requires an external processing unit which may only work when connected to the PS4.

>>322991018

>>322991242
There will be no porn on the Oculus also, they already stated that.
Well I just it for porn but that's too much for me
>>322991242
>probably the same price too
That's still $200 cheaper than a Rift.
i knew it was going to be bad.
Oculus is just going to end up being a niche technology for people who are permavirgin who own PCs with 970 or greater GPUs wanting to fap.
it's not bad news
but yeah,this isn't taking off anytime soon.
>>322990418
>$600 is reasonable for a peripheral
>>322991570
There's already porn on the Oculus?
You might be confusing about what Oculus themselves distribute on their digital store front. Porn is already on the Oculus though.
>>322987016
>>322987839
>>322989969
There will be VR exclusive games though right? So as time goes on, the tech becomes cheaper and the incentive to get one increases. I don't think a high price point is going to kill Oculus or VR in general. It will just prevent it from becoming mainstream for a while.
>>322991570
Uh, there are already people playing porn games with oculus dev kits.
It's not up to them. All they said is they won't be on the Oculus Rift store.

>>322991743
I mean they're already sold through June so I'd say that regardless of whatever people's problems were with the price people are still buying the thing.
After shipping, customs, taxes and currency conversion, it's over $1000 CAD for the rift alone.
A gpu + cpu + motherboard that can play stuff at recommended specs is easily another $1200CAD if not more.

>>322991709
You mis-read. It'll be on TOP of the price of the external processing unit. PSVR itself will cost like $300-$500, then you'll also have to buy the processing unit that'll be another $300-$500.
VR doesn't work if the games are running at 10-30fps. They need at LEAST solid 60.
>>322984139
dont forget, the cheaper ps3 had removed hardware ie less usb ports, they removed ps2 backwards play so they could sell it to you later even though hackers put it back in with the emulation, they took out linux and other features
>>322991913

no game is going to be VR exclusive, anything you do in VR can be done in regular viewing. at least any game worth having that isn't a VR demo.
>>322992071
The external processing unit is part of the package.
>>322992071
They're probably going to sell the whole package as a single unit. The external processing unit won't do anything without a headset.
It'll be expensive though. Headset + Move + PS Eye + External Processing Unit. Probably will cost at least as much as the Oculus.

Even if the PSVR is only $400 or $500, it's still a huge deal breaker considering no porn.

>>322992759

To me, that's the big issue here. Not only is it 599 USD, but it's 599 USD PLUS whatever GPU/CPU you need to upgrade to even run the damn thing
>poorfags
>>322992607
But really, gaming is turning more and more into video-watching, anyway.
>>322992291
You're right, but what I mean is that there will be games that would be "best on Oculus" and the experience of diving underwater or skydiving or something is completely different on a VR headset compared to watching it on a screen.

Unit is part of the package because it's useless without the headset. And it won't cost more than a PS4 did at launch. Why? Because Sony isn't fucking stupid. No one will buy a $600 peripheral. So it'll be $400. Especially if the processing unit is just a slimmed down PS4. Like a PS4 without the 500GB HDD, bluray drive, and a minimized shell with a built in PS Move camera. We already know that the PSVR head tracking is done via the lights on the headset. So it won't even have the complicated shit the Rift uses for head tracking. It'll just be a 1080p phone screen with lights on the shell and audio capabilities.
>>322993337
If it's $400 it's going to be shit. End of story. You aren't getting an external processing unit AND a VR headset for under $500 unless it's complete garbage.
Just like the PS4, it's cheap but shit. The only difference here is that the PSVR won't have any exclusives to save it, because all the cool exclusives will be on PC along with the exclusive porn.
FIVEHUNDREDNINETYNINEUS DOLLARS
>>322991994
Don't forget, for a standard consumer they'll have to upgrade their pc if they want high quality graphics/resolution, which is around 900.
Total price comes to 1400, not to mention it doesn't come with the touch. The vive will at least come with something similar to the touch.
At this point the only hope for consumer VR is sony's VR thing (most standard/casual games already own a ps4), and the vive.

Don't underestimate Facebook and Oculus. They're building a platform that they want to dominate in many fields. They have a huge head start over everyone thanks to their deep pockets and their partnership with the biggest consumer electronics brand in the world, Samsung. Right now the only company that can compete toe to toe with them is Microsoft and maybe Apple although they're very behind.
$599, which instantly translates into six hundred and some change for tax and content.
Way off from the original price point. About 4 years for real price? Will it survive that long? Is there enough Porn?

>>322989969
This desu
It's ushering in the golden age of VR, but the Rift itself will never really succeed. It's too expensive for casuals and the Vive is stealing the hardcore market.
>>322994112
Gear VR and all the integration with Galaxy smartphones is designed by Oculus. The difference is that it's using Samsung's phone and the unit itself is manufactured by them.
>>322991852
the price point will hurt oculus but won't kill them ,that is taking it too far in my opinion and yes there is exclusive "content"(that eve game and some tech demo thing) but the price point is just too much to for the mainstream consumer too ignore and for the enthusiast it seems like a ridiculous price for something that will be outdated in literally 6 or less months .
It just does not seem like a good investment
and yes I am aware everything becomes outdated within 24 months but this is different , this is trying to open up a market at a dumb price point which will turn off the people facebook cares about , the mainstream consumers.
>>322994045
But Sony is competing with them, and HTC/Valve teamed up to compete with them too. You're saying that the only thing that can happen doesn't include things already happening.
>>322994165
i love fapping too much and i'm too scared to die
>>322993525
Obviously Sony will be subsidising the cost.
Oculus are only able to sell at cost.
>>322989969
Rift is in an awkward "too expensive for mainstream and too inferior to more hardcore alternatives" spot right now, literally the only thing keeping it afloat is decent PR but if Vive shows up with an aggressive price then it's pretty much the end.
>>322993525
>AND a VR headset for under $500 unless it's complete garbage
A large portion of a VR headsets cost is probably the head tracking tech. The screen is just a partitioned cell phone screen. Guess what? The PSVR gets around that cost by using the PS Move camera. Sony stated this from the beginning. It uses light bars on the headset to judge where the headset is and where it is looking. So most of the cost will go into the external assist to make sure it reads those lights as fast as fucking possible while adding power to the PS4.
Imagine a minimized PS4 that has none of the PSN bullshit or RAM partitions or any of that crap. Every ounce of it dedicated to assisting the PS4 with 60fps VR. It's easily possible and a PS4 is already only $350. Now take the 500GB HDD and bluray drive out. Add a Move camera. I'd guess that'd be about a $250 thing. Now add a $150 headset that's a phone screen with lights on it. Boom. $400.
>because all the cool exclusives will be on PC
If you think enough people are going to buy a $600 Rift to make VR-only games feasible, then you are on some powerful drugs. All you guys will get is VR ports of old shit.
>>322994803
why 2 inferior for hardgore
theyr lidurelly the most gutting age vr u can get now
who here has masturbated to oculus rift supported 3d porn games and porn? how was it?
>>322994531
Facebook has the connections. It's a giant in the technology space. Sony is just another struggling Japanese company that is restructuring from consumer electronics to semiconductor manufacturing. They hold no power. They'll never be able to compete with any of the major silicon valley companies when it comes to designing experiences and software for the industry, for homes and mobile. Samsung, Facebook and Oculus have such a huge fucking edge over HTC and Sony when it comes to engineering, resources and overall importance in technology.
>>322995085
Vive is the hardcore alternative and the projected price is not even higher than Rift.
>>322995192

>>322995192
Facebook doesn't have any connections, it's literally a meme company that made big bucks selling normies' data.
They have no experience with hardware and obviously didn't care enough about Rift to at least subsidize the price a bit.
>>322995192
>they can't compete
>when they are demonstrably competing
What you appear to be trying to say is that Facebook will inevitably win the VR wars because their great size gives them greater wherewithal. But what you're actually saying is that shit observably happening is impossible.
>>322983303
Best of literally the worst generation yet.
>>322995371
Sounds like the Vive is more suited to your needs.
>>322995387
Also I should point out Oculus made some horrible, amateurish decisions in their hardware like custom-designing hundreds of parts which require several different factories to produce and even researched their own kind of cloth for the straps.
This is well beyond the diminishing returns critical point and they got fucked by the price of all this.
Admit it, you autistic shut ins where going to buy this shit anyway no matter what the cost.
>>322995657
>researched their own kind of cloth for the straps.
I bet it's really cool cloth though, right?
>>322995657
It's being sold at cost though, so research isn't a factor.
Why are you all worried? just don't buy it NOW. Wait for the inevitable price drop. And better updated version of the thing. It always happens with consoles too.
>>322995462
I'm saying that Sony isn't competing with Oculus. They're competing against themself.
Sony is a company that fights itself. Sony is a company that pits it's own divisions against each other. Sony is a company in transition from consumer electronics to semiconductor manufacturer meaning it's creating a greater dependency on other companies to succeed rather than itself because they lack the resources to make products now. Sony of 1996 is not the Sony of 2004+.

Cost?
As in to recoup the 2 billion dollars spent to acquire the company?
No, that's not a cost. It didn't have to be like this.
>>322996127
Custom-ordering parts is still far more expensive than repurposing readily available parts like HTC is reportedly doing.
And HTC is a company from the world capital of slave labor and they have a lot of experience designing phones which share a lot of tech with VR, I will be very surprised if Vive is costs more than a Rift + touch controllers.
>>322996764
Yeah, obviously Oculus is making some stupid decisions, and the Vive is making better ones, apart from the name, but the fabric probably doesn't cost that much to produce either and comfort is something that actually matters on the headset.
>>322995549
Another blind without glasses anon here, what are htc putting in vive so I can actually use it?
>>322997017
The whole face area is modular, so you just swap out the padding, allowing there to be enough room for your glasses in front of your face, and leave the padding out in places where it would squash your glasses into you uncomfortably. You might be able to jury right the Oculus this way too, but the HTC guys have specifically cited this as a feature, and Palmer hasn't.
I don't get why it's so expensive, as a standalone company I would understand the price but Facebook bought them, how can Facebook think it's okay for them as big as they are to charge so much for this product?
>>322992818
>stop being poorfags you goyim

Facebook has enough money, so don't really care about profits.Maybe Palmer trying to do an inside job.
>>322997707
they're big because they charge more and good goyim eat it up.
it's the same reason apple is big.
Can you us the final Rift as a devkit, or do I need to buy one of the older ones?
>>322998031
> good goyim eat it up.
Funny thing, Sony was thinking the same with ps3.
>>322983303
You what? Where did this come from?
360 slayed the PS3, even after the red ring of death and Sony blocked microsoft from using Blu Ray tech
>>322998084
You can use the final rift to dev, but they will probably make a new devkit after they're done with the hubbub of the consumer launch.
>>322997707
I doubt FB even cares about Oculus right now, it was a strategic acquisition just in case VR takes off, if it does they can start porting Farmville for the normies and rake in the profits, if it doesn't they can just leave it dead in a ditch and pretend it never existed.
>been hyped as fuck for this

>>322998314
Yeah, this is pretty much what I was thinking too. This is why I was really against it when Facebook bought them, I knew they weren't thinking about making something new and innovative but rather of something that would allow people to still play their old shitty fb games and make more money off of their already existing market. This is good news for Sony though, if they can make it cheaper and put at least 3 or 4 games to go along with it, they'll win over most people.
>>322995382
Except that's wrong.
It's $923.
We're being charged USD$599 + $USD$50 shipping (USD$649 all up, AUD$923)
Didn't one of the founders of occulus rift get run over or something?
Was he the guy who wanted to sell it for $350?
Those who think Sony will sell their VR set cheap have never looked at their current film 3D glasses prices.
>>322998668

Occulus Rift fucked up with the branding with CV1. PC Rift don't need to be mass marketable, that's fine because you can make money on luxury . The Rift target should be with developers, enterprises, public sectors, Ethutasist, and shit.
You think consumer device, you think GearVR, PSVR, Kinect for Xbox, Cardboard. They price, marketed, and brand for consumers first. Hololens is worse, it's priced at 3,000 fucking dollars. No joke.Pic Related.
Hololens still won't fail because it's not targeting consumers, but enterprises/developers instead.
more like Oculus Whiff

Why? It's a completely new market if you want to establish yourself wouldn't it be wise to have a mass marketable product?
I mean what's the target audience here right now? I don't really see it. And if there is no clear target audience than what are game developers supposed to do? Will VR bit flooded with pixel indie shit or low budget productions? How is VR supposed to be take off the ground?

The Oculus was pretty much made for gaming and along the way they realised it could be used for other things too, and you think people should not buy it for it's primary reason for development?
The "Wer mor dan gayming gise xDD" started coming pretty much after the Facebook acquisition.
EAT SHIT FUTUREFAGS THIS IS WHAT YOU GET
Karma punish the liberals who think "advanced technology" equals "better future". Now the godless cucks will cry as they are left with nothing but their degenrate culture they pushed because "its the future!".

>Thanks to Harper going all in on oil sands, Canada is fucked too.
And the best part is that he sold off so much government owned shares in Canadian companies that undoing what he did is completely impossible, our old economic layout is unrecoverable, and the Canadian housing bubble is set to burst in 2016, sending us into a localized 2008 crash all over again.
We will likely sit in our current economic situation, or worse, for decades. This is your life.

>>322983176
I don't know why this is a big deal. I mean, I get the memes and all. But I just don't get why everyone feels they must react in an over the top manner.
What happened to "PC Masterrace"? $599 sounds a tad pricey. But when you consider the technology, and the money that was invested in developing the technology, it sounds reasonable. How can you call yourself Materrace, when you can't even afford $599 for potentially industry evolving technology?

>>323002643
Because it's been $200 cheaper for three years. They didn't need to bump the price up, they're just trying to make the things look way more expensive than they really are before the general value of a VR headset is set forever in the minds of normies.
>>323002886
Oh. I thought you were going around, gathering attention for the post. Whoops.
By pricing this thing so high they've turned it into a status symbol; those that buy one intending to use it meaningfully will be branded as the same kinds of losers that shell out for realdolls, whole those that buy it ironically are just having a laugh and showing their status as being better than the former.

you fucking crossboarding cunt
>>323003115
Not him but most people who can afford a $300 headset can afford a $600 headset, that doesn't mean they should be expected to still want it even when they know the price was just doubled out of nowhere for the express purpose of making it more of a status symbol. They have made no hardware changes in the past year. The only possible reason they could've set the price so high is because they know anyone who wants to buy it is going to no matter what.
>>323003115
You missed my point completely
>>323003323
>Not him but most people who can afford a $300 headset can afford a $600 headset

>>323003295

They didn't just announce the price out of nowhere. They just doubled it out of nowhere. We knew up until now it was gonna be around $300. We're pissed that we have to pay twice the price we were originally going to just because Fuckerberg knows we will anyway.
>>323003472
If you can spend three hundred fucking dollars on luxuries like a VR headset, that's clearly not going to be the extent of your spending abilities. People who do that are either insanely wealthy, or kind of poor but willing to live in a tiny, shitty apartment to buy all the toys and games they want with their hourly wage jobs.

>>323003482
dude, the technology in the final rift is vastly superior to the 350 dollars DK2
you want good quality VR to avoid motion sickness and enable presence
>>323002887
Ah I wasn't aware of that. Well in that case, it seems pretty strange. However I have to wonder if it still isn't a fair price. Wasn't the oculus Originally just a dev kit? Did those thing actually reflect the real price? Or were they sold cheaper just so the could get devs working with it? Perhaps the original price tag was just covering the price of production. And the new price tag is something they can actually profit from
>>322983303
Sony had to absorb mad losses on the PS3. It never made a cent back.
I haven't been following this VR meme. Why am I seeing VR sets being used with phones nowadays? Am I wrong in thinking that looks completely retarded?
Why don't you guys just tape a phone to your face so you can get your VR cravings out of your system.
