>>323132643
NO THIS WILL BE DIFFERENT
NOT A GIMMICK
Personally I wouldn't be surprised
if they are actually packing it with it's own tiny console to be able to run VR games is going to be expensive as fuck
>>323132753
>no way
You actually expect them to price it for less than 600 dollars? The fuckin thing requires a hardware upgrade to meet bare minimum requirements.
>>323132956
>hardware upgrade
I heard a little about that, what is it?
How the fuck do they think anyone is going to buy this?
Guess which VR is going to be half the price and actually has proper software in development for it?
Protip: It's not the rift.
>>323132643
If you don't own a good gaming pc, that will still be cheaper than an oculus rift and good pc.
When has a leaked retail listing price ever been correct? Never.I work retail uppermanagement and we get info mostly the same as you guys, or like two days earlier at the max

The Vive
>>323133586
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RNbZpcfAhE
Starts at 14:20. Its an external processor/GPU combo that takes raw feed from the console and splits it into three feeds. Two for the VR headset, and one for the TV so people can view a 2D image of what you are seeing.
>>323133694
The Rift has over 20 titles in development being funded by Oculus, and 80 more 3rd party titles. If you're referring to the Vive, there's nowhere near that many titles being developed.
Additionally thinking the Vive will be half the Rift's price is hilariously naive.
>>323134663
>over 20 titles in development
>over 20 indie titles*
>>323135079
Doesn't really matter what kind of studio they're from, it's 20 more than Vive has

hold up... Each headset only works with games that were developed for their vr headset?
In other words is it going to be a case of vr game #2 is exclusive for the rift and not available on the vive?
If so fuck all of this shit. I was under the impression that VR games are compatible with all headsets with the exception of psvr since that's ps4 only.

If you knew nothing about either, which would you choose based on those descriptions?
remember virtual boy?
yeah.
>>323135608
I'm choosing the headset that actually has games announced for it, I don't care who is making it. I view Facebook as the financier of the Rift, but Palmer, Carmack, etc are the actual folks steering the ship and are pretty decent people as far as I can tell.
>they expect me to actually pay for the price of a console
>can't even get their games to run at 60 fps, let alone a stable fps
I guess it's okay if you hate money and your eyes.
>>323135728
Oh boy mostly RED pixel trash
>>323135547
Yep, when I found out about headset exclusivity I wrote off the whole thing.
VR will have a hard enough time taking off when you need a $1200 pc minimum plus an expensive headset without dealing with exclusives.
PS4 VR will cost more by virtue of needing an external box to do the image warp/processing for the headset to alleviate some of the stress off the PS4's weakass GPU.
>>323135796
The type of game is important. I'm not seeing rockstar, beth or ubi on board yet. Can they even make their games on PSVR?
>>323135984
Its funny how little Sony has said about it. Its like they are hiding with a net until they can jump out and scoop people up before they can see it coming.
>>323136090
Ubisoft is onboard with all VR platforms, no actual games though yet, just this demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7NAySeF4Y8
I assume Bethesda and Rockstar have a VR project, but aren't ready to show it yet.
>>323135867

>>323136236
Yep. Said box also interpolates 60fps to a 120hz signal for the OLED screen they're using to fake a smoother looking experience instead of targeting a hard 90fps like Oculus is.
Does it come with a program that allows you to immerse yourself in a virtual reality where you didn't waste all that money?
>>323136253

>>323136535
The VR screen is LCD tho.
>>323136462
It's uses a secondary APU to boost the fps to 90 fps, then splits the raw processing 3 times for a silky smooth 30 fps.
>it's $599 all over again, but for PC friends now

>>323136712
You think sony wont go full retard with the price?
>>323137060
Maybe in your region.
>>323134597
So if a game is made in 30fps it can still run in 90fps with the headset?
>>323137110
It will be even worse than $599, but Sony will probably half ass it and not push it as hard.

I'm curious to know what people think is enlightening about Virtual Reality that they won't buy something else more meaningful with that money.
>>323137305
The developer has many options on how they choose to render and reproject the game they make.
Essentially they can render and reproject between 60-120 Hz, they have like 6 different settings and they can choose which one works best with their game depending on graphic intensity, etc.
Regardless, the game has to be split twice for 3 separate images, which means the game will run at most around 40 fps.
>>323136903
it's not real 120hz, they're using some tech to make it appear as 120hz.Something like interpolation, but some anon said it's closer to timewarp.
>>323137305
No. Take a 30 fps game and downgrade it to hit 60 fps.
Then you have to render two instances of that game so another downgrade until both renders are 60 fps.
Then sony uses time warp to create 60 fake frames to give the impression of 120fps.
These fake frames are not ideal to fill in and might cause discomfort. The rift uses time warp too but only to offset small dips under 90. If the solution was truly good, the rift would have lowered recommended specs and used time warp from the get go so even toasters can use vr.
My guess is sony will try to push devs to reach 90 native frames in the end.
>>323137756
That was stated above already, but the screen itself is actually 120hz.
>>323133586
Its a separate box with another SoC in it.
AMD developed a VR API called LiquidVR, and the thing it does primarily is allow one GPU to render one view port, so a second GPU renders the second viewport. Essentially giving a Crossfire setup a slip workload to handle per GPU.
The PSVR employs this method of rendering, and the little box that you plug the headset into contains that second GPU. Its pretty clever.
>everyone goes for the shitty vr gimmick
>nintendo nx focuses on good hardware and games
>>323137798
>Take a 30 fps game and downgrade it to hit 60 fps
wut
>>323137798
The interpolated frames use headset motion as part of its math in calculating the blended frames to prevent a swimming-like response.
As for whether it'll be effective, we'll have to see until tech-savvy folks with good eyes get their hands on them.

>>323138124
The fun part about gimping graphics for console VR is you NEED to ensure shadows and object LoD transitions are the same across both viewports.
Resistance 3 had both problems terribly on PS3 and shit was hard on the eyes as your brain tried to make sense of one eye seeing something that the other didn't.
>>323138124
OH, okay, I read that as downgrading it to 60fps from 30fps.
>>323138265
Hello here, young one. I know Wii was your first Nintendo console, but Nintendo made some consoles before.
>>323137938
If Sony wants to get say bloodborne on vr they will have to downgrade the game visually to hit a solid 60 fps. Vr requires the game to be rendered twice so that single 60 fps render would have to be downgraded even further until you have two instances of bloodborne running at 60 fps.
60 fps isn't enough for vr so Sony uses time warp to stuff in fake frames to 120. This might cause artifacts or blur that can cause discomfort. Even if it didn't the degree you would have to visually downgrade a game to get it running before timewarp is quite a lot. It's even more so if you want to run 90 fps native.
>>323135796
Fuck off shill.
No one is buying your shitty vr.
>>323138180
Lets say the PSVR is $600.
The 500gb PS4 with a bundled game is $350 now, so the combined cost is $950.
PSN subscription aside, that $950 at least lets you play games of a guaranteed fidelity in VR. Everyone who buys a PS4 can have the exact same level of experience in whatever VR titles Sony gets on their platform.
A $600 Rift coupled with a $350 PC isn't going to get you a whole lot if you expect gameplay, but you can still get the 3D cinema, VR web browsing, and all the other "presence" related stuff that isn't very hardware intensive. If you want a desktop with enough power to handle games at decent settings then you're looking at over $600.
So unless the PSVR thing is priced around $800 it'll be the most approachable platform for mainstream VR.

Of course, consumer release is a couple of months out.
>>323138814
That's just a breakout box to help with the reprojecting aka timewarp. The downgraded come before timewarp. If it was a second gpu PSVR would be massively overpriced.

Now that it's $600 people aren't even sure what the hell the Vive will be.

That box contains a brand new semi-custom X86 SoC from AMD. Its a second GPU and processor for the headset.

Software support. Oculus actually demoed actual games, not just proof of concept tech demos like HTC VIve did. Plus Oculus Studios is funding around 20 games (which otherwise wouldn't exist) directly to get the ball rolling, while they are funding some other developers, again, for games that otherwise wouldn't exist. And before you freak about "OMG EXCLUSIVES" you have to realize that there is no reliable, full-featured API that is headset agnostic. SteamVR gets close, but the development support Oculus provides will be supporting their own SDK for obvious reasons, and for the third-party titles they're funding, they can do whatever they want after release, but those games are just coming to Rift first (and most probably plan to support both main headsets in the future).

>>323139441
I'd personally expect Rift+Touch and the whole Vive package to be around $800 (no tax or shipping). One thing to note is that Aussies and Euros will get shafted either way by VAT and taxes, while some US states (like mine) won't pay tax and will only pay for $30 shipping.

>Sony calls the small box a “PU”, short for “Processing Unit”. The box makes sure that the signal coming from the console is accurately transformed into a proper VR signal for the headset, and it also helps convert the footage into 120Hz.
Nope just a box that helps with timewarp.
>>323139354
Yes. your own list proves it. Nintendo hardware was always good until Wii. Mentioning Cartridges or Xbox, which came out 2 or 3 years after doesn't change a thing.
It would be pretty funny if Rift turns out to be the chapest of all VR systems, considering the shitstorm we just weathered.
>>323139653
But it is primarily a gaming platform, and they have a great lineup so far. By your logic the Xbox One's primary features target normie TV users and not console gamers.
VR is primarily a gaming thing, but social is going to be huge regardless.
>>323139708
You're completely wrong no matter what single line you dig out of a first impressions article in which the author didn't even handle the hardware.
AMD has two semi-custom design wins for 2016.
Sony is the client for one of them, and they did not order a new APU for the PS4, nor did they order a die shrink. Its an X86 SoC for the PSVR.
Their other semi-custom part is an ARM chip, and theres a 99.99% chance that is for the NX.
>>323139625
Sony does not allow porn on the PSN store.
In fact, you can't publish a porn game for PS4 period.

Why do they call it a " PU"?
Because it stinks.

This is just more reliable, accurate headtracking plus 3D display that will have better quality than the monitors most people have.

Completely incorrect. Sony has already discussed what the box does multiple times and has never mentioned it being an apu. They already said it will cost the same as a console so thinking a new apu+vr headset will be 400 bucks is hilariously deluded. Keep trying though
>>323140518
You only need a 970 or 290 for good settings and 90fps on any title that will be allowed on the Oculus store, at least for first-gen VR hardware.
>>323140575
I didnt buy a PS4 tho, so I have no reason to kill myself
>>323140757
Sony themselves have went into no detail whatsoever about whats in the box, they were intentionally vague as expected. The average consumer pleb, like yourself, doesn't need to know any of this so they have no reason to broadcast it.
Its an X86 APU. The system only works as it does because they're leveraging AMD's LiquidVR and using two GPUs. Sony ordering a new semi-custom chip being released in 2016 is a fact.

>>323141296
how the fuck did canadian currency fall so fast?
>>323149540
Economics is complicated, currency wars are even more complicated.
TL;DR is Weed, China, tourism, and Saudi oil.
Is 3DMark right? Do I need a 2000 dollar PC to even run VR properly?
Is VR just an enthusiast only thing then?
What a fucking shame.If you live under a rock you can download 3DMark on Steam for free (demo) and use it and it will tell you how short you are of a VR capable machine.
>>323139957
I think it will be usable on PC. Where the porn is. Like everyone with a brain has been able to deduct.
>>323149968
Nope 900-1k
Though of you wanna be smart you would get a dx12 card around the same time vr is actually out
>>323150089
My system is i7 2600k plus 780 GTX and 3Dmark tells me I won't be able to run fucking VR.
Sure I made this PC a few years back for over 2000 (cases aren't free anon, screens aren't free, mice and keyboard aren't free) but it's still a solid system but if I can't even run games in VR then fuck it.
I expect you're full of shit. There is no system that is 1k and can run VR on the market at all. You can hardly get a decent mobo, SSD, PSU, cooling etc. plus decent GPU with that.
tl;dr - /v/ is retarded a PC is only the CPU and GPU and counts that as the whole system
>>323150065
I can pretty much guarantee you it wont work on PC
>>323150329
you know an r9 290 can be had refurbed for under $200 and it's only marginally weaker than a 780 right
>>323150329
>You can hardly get a decent mobo, SSD, PSU, cooling etc. plus decent GPU with that.
>with $1k
My PC has an i7 4790, an R9 280x, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, a decent mobo, a decent case, a 750 GB HDD, a M+KB (G9x and a $20 Microsoft ergonomic keyboard), a headset (Gamescom 780), a bluetooth adapter, an Asus 1 Gbps wireless card, and a Samsung Synchmaster, and overall it probably cost me around $950 total (~$750-$800 for the PC parts and an additional $150-$200 for the peripherals + monitor).
>>323150671
>and it's only marginally weaker than a 780
Nowadays the 290 outperforms the 780 in most games.
It competes with the 970.
>People actually thought Sony was going to sell this for 200 bucks or something
>people actually thought the PS4 was able to run VR without supplementary hardware
oh console kids.
Always uninformed and gullible.
I hope so if only to stop the Oculus shitposting from Sony fanboys.
>>323151263
Look who's talking. Until recently, you fags thought the Rift would be 300 bucks.
>>323151263
I like to think Sony were banking on the rift being two grand or something because there's no way people are shelling out $800 for this thing
>>323132643

>>323151024
No way all of that is under 1.5k at best.
I suppose maybe.
Maybe in America prices are that low but rest of the world, nope.
If VR is only something America will use then maybe it has a chance since you guys get the cheapest electronics in the world despite it all being made in China.
Let me break it down to you what you're saying is full of shit too
>decent case
a decent case costs 200 to 300 alone unless you're willing to go with a cheap shit that doesn't even have cooling or proper airflow which basically means you're building a budget cheap shit PC that will overheat come the time you want to OC to stay in the 60 fps region
>bluetooth adapter
you mean those 1 dollar fucking things you can get anywhere? why even list this shit
>750 GB
how poor are you? are you installing 20 games only and no space for movies, porn, images etc. 750 GB doesn't last at all and what speeds are you talking about? 3000 RPM piece of shit HDDs? You want your games to stutter or bottleneck it with shit speeded HDDs? You either go 7200 rpm / SSD or go home faggot
>a keyboard and mouse
microsoft garbage shit. I dont think people need to use mechanics but at least get a decent mice you faggot.
>headset
that's a piece of shit headpiece, I'm so sorry
>wireless card
dumbass, get a decent mobo that has it built in. my 4 year old mobo can support wireless. what kind of cheap chinese shit are you buying that can't even do that?
>150 for peripherals and monitor
bullshit unless you're playing your vidya on a fucking 21 inch tiny dick monitor which isn't even worth playing games at all, just get a tablet faggot if that's how small you want your PC games to be in
fuck
even with that budget nigger PC of yours it STILL wont be able to run VR at all. plus the headset itself is close to 1000 dollars ontop of all that
fucking shills I swear
>>323151634
Didn't sony say it was going to be the price of a new console so 300 bucks? What's going on?

>It's time to turn this brand new technology into a commercial product

>No, that's dumb, let's not do that at all

This is on of the many, many times I'd like to be the fly on the wall of the meetings that okay this sort of stuff.
>>323152329
VR is a very tiny niche for a very tiny niche of enthusiasts.
It is not for mainstream consumers. The only ones who might be trying to make it mainstream are Sony, and even that is uncertain as pricing hasn't been confirmed yet.

>>323152224
Paid $150 for my 800D and it was way overkill.
Just get a Fractal Design Define R5 for $90 if you're a poorfag.
>>323152304
>I just use cardboard it's 20 dollars
fucking retard
show me a case that has gotten good review scores that is under 100
you can't
>>323133694
but it has games that will run above 20fps
>>323152329
It's called price skimming.
>>323152452
The only reason it's a tiny niche for enthusiasts is because they completely fucking bungled it.
Oculus specifically came out of the gates swinging, made promises it couldn't keep and set it up to be the future of content consumption
Now PS VR had a chance to do VR as cheaply as possible to make it work for the PS4 which could possibly help drive the masses into the technology, and they then completely fucking bungled it.
It's bad decision after bad decision, too much hype, too many promises and absolutely nothing to show for it.

I get the feeling that you're a retarded Auscuck honestly.
Worst part is that you actually think recommended specs = "If you are below this you won't even be able to RUN these games!"
>>323152412
But why is it priced so high? It comes with a basic vr headset that has lesser red than the rift
>>323152829
special external APU required and because sony
the HMZ-T1 was $800 and only 720p without any headtracking
>>323152682
Even if the commercial Rift was selling for $50 it wouldn't change the hardware requirements to drive games on it at high resolution and fidelity.
The amount of compute power necessary for VR gaming is the underlying issue, not the cost of the headset itself. Its a tiny niche for enthusiasts because of this. You need one or more of the very best GPUs on the market right now along with a high end CPU if you expect to play any VR title with impressive graphics.
No companies on the planet can do anything to fix this aside from intel, AMD, and Nvidia.
>>323152682
Want cheap VR? Get a DK2.
>>323141020
You're completely and utterly wrong. AMD have already disclosed that only one of their custom designs in 2016 is for gaming, the NX.
The other chip is not in the PSVR.
>caring about VR
Why did this become such a big deal again?
Honestly, I'm gonna be laughing my ass off when all this blows over and everyone forgets about it.
>>323152915
Remember that bit where I said "Right at the start of the year before any new hardware is released"
They rushed it out of the door to cash in on the hype. See attached.
>>323152912
I thought this was just a reprojection box did they change it? Where's the source on the APU thing?
>>323152915
>No companies on the planet can do anything to fix this aside from intel, AMD, and Nvidia.

One day we will have eye tracking.
>>323152829
As this anon said, >>323152912, the problem is related to why this anon, >>323152682, was off the mark about PS VR having the chance to do VR "as cheaply as possible."
This IS as cheap as possible. The hardware and its price is simply not at the point where it can be sold for cheaper. A PS4+VR is $1200 and an Oculus+PC is $1500. That's what's needed right now for "proper" VR that isn't just a phone strapped to your face. The PS VR needs to make up for the hardware difference between the PS4 and the kinds of PC the Oculus needs to run. There's no way in hell the PS4 by itself is going to be able to get the kind of VR being marketed without any sort of additional APU. Not that it's going to match it anyway. This is the same of song and dance of pre-release marketing and hype making things look nicer than they're going to be. But even so, to get closer to it, the PS4 needs that extra oomph.
OCULUSUX
I'm just going to wait 3-4 years for the price to drop to a reasonable level and by that time it should have some games. If it's failed then bully for me
>>323153325
Is there an actual legit source on that APU being in the box? I can't imagine Sony saying it will be the price of a console and then charging that much
>>323153019
>I have literally no idea what I'm talking about
>I'm a tech illiterate baby faggot retard
>I don't read any tech news whatsoever but I'll shitpost anyway
“I will say that one [design win] is x86 and [another] is ARM, and at least one will [be] beyond gaming, right,”
This is the quote your feeble retard brain is trying to remember, but you couldn't even get that right. Its a confirmed fact that Sony is the client for one of AMD's new semi-custom chips.
>>323153534
As far as I know, there's no source. It just seems like the most logical answer as to why the PS VR is twice the price of the console you need to use it. The PS4 cannot achieve, on its own, the kinds of VR they're talking about here. That's really the crux of it.
There's also circumstantial stuff about various AMD custom chips being made.
>>323153715
That makes no sense. Why would everyone believe a random Amazon Canadian listing when they always fuck up? An APU wouldn't be that pricy anyways
>>323153860
True, it may all turn out to be a mistake. It seems to have been put up by Amazon itself, not some third-party, but I don't recall their track record on these things. I guess we'll see.
There's still the problem of how the PS4 is going to be able to handle VR on its own. And it's not like the whole $800 would be the APU anyway. Even if they're making the headset component at less than the Oculus, a proper APU to help the PS4 along could easily make up the remainder.
>>323153598
>Its a confirmed fact that Sony is the client for one of AMD's new semi-custom chips.
Not him but can you link the article?
Amazon has also listed in the past:
PS4 Crash Bandicoot game
Bloodborne for PC
Uncharted 4 for Xbox One
And a fuck load of other incorrect things.
>>323155338
He can't, because he's pulling shit from his nigger ass, and is now doubling down on his retardation since he was called out for being wrong.
Ignore the retarded dog.

Nope. Luckey has said it's primarily a video and "experience" platform aimed at gaming in it's infancy. Carmack said only about 50% of time in Oculus is games.

Yes, it will magically work when you plug it in and automatically create drivers and a SDK for it.

>>323157382

>>323157705
I've seen retards buy 1k Blu Ray machines in the past for what? A little more resolution over dvd? Then this comes along at 600 and will decrease in price by the year and people are offended? That price tag is literally the premium for hot tech. It's not even that jacked up
I'll get vr when some real games come on on the level of open world shit. Not flight games and fucking tech demos.
>>323158396
>I'll get vr when some real games come on on the level of open world shit.
But anon, paying 700€+ for some porn isn't that bad
>>323158396

like what? having your character not sitting in game will cause people to get nauseous really fast
so there will not be anything but flight games and tech demos
>>323158709
Assassins creed vr? Mass effect vr? Gta vr? Battlefield vr? Tomb raider vr?
Things along those lines. If we don't get that then what's the point? I'm not getting vr for a few shitty titles I want all releases in vr. The porn thing did make me think twice though hmmm I'll see how development goes for that
>>323159017
I hope we get vr in fallout or skyrim

>>323159017
none of those games will ever happen.
anything that has the character moving will cause you to puke
this is why tf2VR does not work or hl2 VR
unless the characters in the games you listed are all cripples and the game built around them sitting, it's not going to happen ever
everyone who has tried hl2 VR or tf2 VR have become motion sick really fast
>>323159269
You must be lying. Because there is literally no point to vr if you can't do those things
>>323159269
No one has tried any of those with Vive, Vive allows you to walk around which may solve the problem.
>>323132643
That's not even a official price. It's just a placeholder price that some employee at amazon think is funny to put there so he can bait some clickbait journalists.
>>323159460>>323159419
Do you live in an empty warehouse? The vive has you restricted to the size of the room. Jesus you guys literally know nothing how VR works.
FPS games won't work on VR nor will 3rd person games. Only games where the character is stationary like in a cockpit will prevent motion sickness.
This is why it's absolutely stupid that people are hyped about VR. If you're not a flight simmer or racing game fan, VR is useless to you.
>>323159017
why aren't GranTurismo and AceCombat7 real games?
Someone make a Sony edit of this

No as long as you're not sitting on a chair and doing basic movement you can trick your inner ear.
