The package looks pretty nice.
>>333163583
oculus isnt even trying
>>333163953
The OR box is so much better looking.
>>333164951
nope
>>333164951
proof?
OR box looks like a premium box that shouldn't be shipped, Vive box looks like it could be in stores like that. Another example of HTC being a company that knows how hardware works unlike Oculus.
Enjoy anon, I bought it and couldn't be happier, pic very related to VR
So, at the moment it seems that everybody's bitching at Oculus Rift, and praising HTC Vive. When do you fags think that will change, or will it just not change?
Right after launch or something?
>>333165763
Technical issues aside, Oculus installs a service that runs 24/7 on your PC regardless if the headset is connected and sends data to Facebook. Can't say I'm a big fan of Vive, but I hope they can avoid such bullshit.
>>333165939
I'm not sure if they can really. I'm sure that aside from breaking your privacy, that program is there to initiate the headset when you put it on and shit. HTC will probably have something like that, though I hope that thing is Steam really.
>>333165763
Shit stays shit no matter what you put on it.
Oculus was just a quick cash grab run by unprofessional/misinformed people.
The fact that they continuously lied about it (power and price) thorough the years is enough to shit on it.
They played the shitty "muh exclusive" game too, for a piece of optional hardware, pretty lame if you ask me.
Also there's a botnet included in the package.
They did every wrong step while the Vive is an honest product thought and designed properly..
>>333165763tumbling down

Yeah, I haven't really heard anything about the Vive, aside from developers putting up videos playing games and shit.

>>333165939
You can just take ownership of the executable files and block all access, and then block the files also in the firewall.

>>333166087
I expect them to spot exchanging data with FB services when there's nothing VR-related is running on my machine
>>333163583
All this bullshit makes me want to have one and shoot some niggers in E:D
Sadly its not really worth it for that 1-2 hour of fun, and theres little else...
>>333166417
VR is going to die just because too many companies invested in it before it even had time to build a real, sustainable micro-market of engineers and enthusiasts. They completely skipped the grassroots, garage era of any technology's lifespan and jumped straight to a mass market consumer product.
It's ironic in a way because these are all internet era companies that have forgotten how they themselves became huge.

First Vive reviews are starting to come out
>>333166174
>Oculus was just a quick cash grab run by unprofessional/misinformed people.
The prove my point, the head of the project bailed out with millions in his pockets, selling it to facebook
From that point, you just knew it was doomed and it's only purpose was to make money, not to make a "new" technology viable.
>>333166773
>Vive Pre review
Almost. NDA is up tomorrow for the consumer version. All day stream onGiant Bomb
I hope that the Vive doesn't get as BTFO after launch as the rift did.
>>333165478
This. I can guarantee you the Vive has useful info on the back that salespeople can use to sell the product to the customer even if they have very little familiarity with the device, whereas the OR box has a big fat fucking nothing on the back leaving customers unimpressed and salespeople struggling to impress them with zero background knowledge.
Once again showing HTC know how to fucking sell things.

Which is Valve is doing with Vive, showing to developer at GDC, testing applications like The Lab etc.
That's how you do it.
People I know who have had HTC phones have regretted it, saying that they're mostly style over substance dogshit that looks nice but doesn't work great after a short period. Any reason to believe Vive wont be the same thing?
>>333166717
Yep, looks like it, at the very least Facebook/oculus really jumped the horse and broke its fucking back.
Instead of getting people in, and then exploiting them, they pretty much just went "please come in to be exploited".
I pre-ordered the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift but now the only reason I haven't canceled my rift pre-order is I know I'll be able to sell the unopened box for nearly twice what I paid for it since I got a "march" ship date.
>>333166920
will the vivereviveHTC, /v/?
Any news on when this will be useful for people that need to wear glasses?
>>333165459
Wut
It's right there next to it.
You can disagree, but goddamn.
>>333166997
I fucking love my HTC phones. Desire Z and One worked for ages and were sturdy as fuck. Sense was also not as bloated as some ROMs are.
HTC makes good hardware. And Valve makes good software.
>>333166997
I had HTC Incredible S and replaced it only a couple of months ago. Very good hardware design. Flashed custom ROM to get rid of bloatware. The thing just refused to die.
>>333167070
The Vive lets you change the eye relief and ships with two sets of foam for narrow/wide faces.
The Rift was supposed to ship with two sets of facial interfaces but for some reason they didn't.
>>333163583
Considering Oculus and Facebook owns all the content that you create for it, I think Vive is the way to go.
>>333166717
>They completely skipped the grassroots, garage era of any technology's lifespan and jumped straight to a mass market consumer product.
What on earth makes you think this is a thing? Do you believe people were jury rigging LCD TVs together in their garage for years before the consumer market made the swap?
Just like most new technologies, it's being pushed to market before maturity and at a premium price. This doesn't kill the technology, it's just means it's going to fumble around in the early adopter phase for a while before settling in as a niche peripheral. I don't think it's ever going to get past niche because it's too inconvenient and anti-social a technology for mass consumption. When they get AR right, that's when the mass market adoption will happen.
>>333166717
>They completely skipped the grassroots, garage era of any technology's lifespan and jumped straight to a mass market consumer product
Wasn't the Oculus available in two different dev versions for 2 years before this final product came out?

My HTC phones were by far the most reliable android phones I ever owned, so I wouldn't really agree with that.
If they were any cheaper I'd get one even now.
>>333167336
Yes and yet there are hardly any noteworthy games for it despite the Kickstarter being FOUR years ago.
>>333167169
Thanks, I'm mostly interested in checking out EVE Valkyrie. Gonna hold off for now because there just aren't enough games for it yet.
>>333167285
Yeah, I've got many other issues with the Rift, but that's the biggest one. I mostly want this for waifu experiences and shit, and those will most likely be unpolished indie things that are going to be shat out in hours. Rift seems way less accommodating for that.
Yeah, they have that outside sources thing, but you still need to use their latest SDK, which seems pretty draconian as well.
>>333167336

Exactly.
There were no consumer products that werent aimed at selling to everyone and stealing all your data and lol, even whatever you create with it.
>>333167453
>HTC Vive includes cup/icecream holders

Cautiously optimistic about Vive, as Valve is in business of selling games, not your data to 3rd party.
>>333166773
>>333166939
>While the Oculus has its own dedicated storefront app, the Vive is heavily twinned with to Steam for accessing games

I expect it to be no different than it is now. So, if you're not paranoid about Steam now, there's no real reason to be paranoid with a Vive.
>>333167857
Man, that first video looks cooler than what was on the Oculus shit already.
>>333167927
That's what I hope for. I'm satisfied with Steam's current behaviour and it will be great if it stayed as is
>>333167840

For PCfags, actual PCfags its normal to do such things or even go further.

>>333170815
Embargoes are often done by contract too, especially when the company really wants to control reviews, e.g. "Don't mention the fact that you have to watch an opening cutscene for 40 minutes before you actually get to play the game."
It's basically just an NDA with an expiry date that is not too distant.

i really dont understand the situation.
They give you a product to test, and they put a gun in your head to talk good about it, and when they want to talk about it?
Its basically farming shills.
Some people should give no fucks and make a good an objetive (pure technical) review of both, and realease it before it launchs, so it can send the worst one (probably oculus) to actual hell.
>>333171779
If you don't give them a date, people rush to make reviews and don't cover it properly. Embargos can also be used to hide a bad product, though. You want the same date for everyone so there's ample time to review it.

>>333171993
It's hard enough to aim without recoil for most people.
Plus I can't think of a way to implement it properly with such controllers.
>>333171889
there could be 2 situations, i was thinking about the second option wich is that they ship the device to your home and not just go to a place to see it or test it in a "closed enviroment"
like all those youtube bloggers who get copies of game a few weeks early to make reviews on launch.
you dont need that much time to take techincal raw data of the device, most is already aviable, but not in context, like that lenses pic i see once in a while, it shows that the vive has wider FOV, but that also means less pixel density (if done correctly)

>>333171235
Fine. Tell me how you'll stop spying but allow oculus updates? You think spy-tcp packets have spy-flag in them?
You're naive.
>>333172157
Some VR games do recoil but apparently it's kinda weird.
Raw Data for example. Basically a recoil animation is played and then the gun is returned to its proper position. But the flaw with that is...your controller isn't moving. If you stay still, after the recoil the gun will always revert to the exact same position.
>>333165664
Seen this a hundred times and it still arouses me.
>>333172157
when the lighthouse OEM kits are available, there will be proper gun controllers for sure.
>>333172664
And you never had to deal with shit like that because consoles are put the disk andhave a red screen or red ring
I have to re-download the oculus home every time i "need" to update
If the shit runs fine, there is no reason to upgrade anything, unless they make something like imput lag or performance better, but those updates wont come up every single dayunless you buy any of this shit on day 1, you need to wait at least 2 months to start to decide, so, its not a real issue.
If im forced to update, u just redownload the installer, and then repeat the process, i could even make a batch to automatically do all this, because exe files will be the same, and they will have the same name..

I've not owned a console since original xbox. You are going to cripple your oculus experience if you block fb; you are not going to be able to download anything from the store. You're not going to be able to buy anything from the store. I really dont follow your reasoning. You're okay if the sdk of your $600 hmd spies on you? Why? The other other headsets dont do this.

It was confirmed that blocking the services dont block you from enter the store and download anything, it gives an error about some secondary app shit, but games and everything works fine.
>I really dont follow your reasoning.
Im not gonna buy this to play hipster indie shit or the lastest AAA, or anything from the oculus store at all (like that project cars fiasco). i will use it to replay older games and mostly for my racing setup using 3rd party drivers like vorpx.
That will be the case when the oculus is a better option because
>more dense screen despite lower FOV
I think this one needs time to be sure about.
>less imput lag
This also needs some time to measure it right in the games i play.
This is why i didnt decided yet, but im thinking about what im going to do with "the one"
>>333170107
2nd wave is suffering.
Seems like all the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Been trying to lower my expectations, but all this hype isn't helping.

That's more useful than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was just going to be a digitally constructed wall, but I guess that's another system.
>>333172861
I think visual recoil is necessary.
If you want a gun to feel powerful, you need a kicking animation. I think Arizona Sunshine really messes up in this regard
>>333174201
Oh yeah, I really know nothing about all the phone stuff the Vive offers. Is it like some kind of bluetooth pair?
>>333175541
its a part of the chaperone system, you can customize it to your needs. you can combine it with the grid line walls, or you just pick one of them, you can even chose the colors, and make your own camera filters and put them on workshop.

well, thats why i keep refreshing my credit card page, the payment is already authorized by HTC, on hold, but not booked yet. so, i guess they grab the cash tomorrow, and just start to ship it on the 5th. im not even 70 KM away from the distribution center
>>333178249
Some are arriving today. Originally they told FedEx to deliver tomorrow so I wonder what changed.
Hoping the other orders (east coast) are shipping 2 day or better (rather than super saver).
>>333178331
>And for input lag, I've never heard of that one. No one has ever mentioned it in practice who has used the hmds.
I'm going to guess it's just conjecture based on the fact that Oculus spend some time talking about how it wants to bring input lag down.
But obviously HTC and Valve would also want to bring it down, so that doesn't mean shit.
So does this shit have a robust lineup of launch titles, or is it the normal total garbage shovelware for 3-6 months that consoles have been doing for a little while now? Been trying to stay in the dark with VR so I don't get overly cynical.

They charged my card 6 days ago an no tracking number or shipping notification.
This should be illegal.

No, the imput lag comes from my experience, i had pic related years ago.
>200ms+ of imput lag
>1st gen cellphone tracking presicion
>1 small as fuck 640x480 screen splitted in 2 with mirrors
>30fps max because of interpolation.
>worked with a small amount of games.
For me its one of the most important points.

You cant compare that with the vive or the rift.

I remember when Carmack was first announced everyone was so excited and then it was announced they had him working on mobile shit and not the rift at all and I tried to say Carmack wasn't going to do shit if they were regulating him to mobile but everybody called me an idiot and now all he does is work on the GearVR and hasn't contributed a single thing to the Rift and someone will still call me an idiot for claiming that Carmack has done nothing of note for the oculus. Say le vee.
>>333177820
He was working on vr verison of Minecraft?

Carmack works on VR shit at the Rift, the stuff he works on in the end gets included in the Rift too, but FYI - Carmack does not give one fucking shit about who he works for or what 'product' he is working on, he works on technology, and was specifically more interested in untethered VR, and only really works for himself at that.
>>333177558
Me on the right.
if you buy any VR headset you are retarded
>>333179207
Which is why Oculus is embarassing, when you are trying to bring shit to a mass consumer, "cheap VR" and all that - how about you stop acting like you are Apple for a moment?
I'd prefer if these things looked like GPU boxes - and were manufactured by 10 competing companies just like those, instead of facebook pretending to be supreme high-end apple shit.
Unboxing a VR headset is the most fun you will ever have with it
>>333179686
*probably could've included some different sized paddings and shit for the cost of the boxing.
what VR headset do i get for lewd stuff
>>333179440
It serve me as a background, also the dk2 will do that too.
>>333179517
we need a 4k display on each eye to have an actual sharp image, that will take like 5 more years to have a PC capable of doing 2 4k gaming without stutters.
>>333179845
the brand sharper image, retard
or sky mall, retard
>>333179831
Both. The Vive is better but the Japs seem to love the rift and are probably too PC retarded to properly port their games.

Sorry anon, didnt knew about that, That shit was rare back then where i was, i knew it wasnt even close to good, but at least it was my actual first VR experience, it wasnt pretty bad, but it showed me what they needed to improve, and they did, at least VR in genenral.

I find it hard to believe that Carmack chose to work on mobile. Why would Facebook send one of their key engineers to work on another company's product? With all the NDA stuff at Facebook, I wouldn't be surprised if he was told to say he chose to do it. After his failed space venture, money could also be a concern.

Jewbook Rift will probably be slightly better for waifu shit. Id still get Vive, though.
>>333178889
Other than the thing saying April, is there a way of knowing you are wave one? are there subwaves inside the same month?
well I at least hope it arrives promptly
>>333180810
You can call HTC to find out. There are two waves in april. No idea for May.
>>333180715
I think there will be no difference in games because 3rd party drivers are aviable and other solution will be aviable for both systems, some will have native support, but oculus banned porn, but still people are creating shit for oculust outside the store, like some steam games that are already compatible, you dont need the oculus approved game from the oculus store and bought with oculus shekels.
Its computah, you can do whatever you want. you jut buy the hardware.
Sad to hear OR shipments were delayed. At least shipping is free now right?
>>333180956
Saved me $60 so I'm glad. Gonna buy myself a lot of sour gummy candy from bulk barn. a lot.
>>333179927
Only because the oculus devkits have been out for so long. Too early to say which they'll support at this stage.
>>333180810
Wave 1 was first 10 minutes of orders.
>>333180567
No, its gonna be fucking awesome. I havent gotten tracking info either (xx:03 order confirmation) and I paid thousand euros for it. Dont be bitter, think about ppl who have to wait till may or june
>>333180956
Free up through the day they announced it.
>>333180567
>getting at least 2 to 3 very fun games every month throughout the year

Feels good.
Hey man drink some tea, relax. It's all fine. You'll get it soon enough. At least you won't have to wait more than half a year for motion controllers and probably pay $200 (/w shipping/taxes) for them and feel bad you didn't get a Vive instead of an Oculus.
>>333167857
When's timecrisis getting a reboot on this thing?
>tfw no vr for cykas
>>333180483
For one - GearVR was Oculus' priority product at the time - since its completed and basically obsolete now, he may have been "moved" already, secondly - he worked on tech already in both devices. And he said he is more interested in untethered VR - which in the end - is FAR better than vive or rift or whatever we have, because yelling "room scale" may have blinded a few retards and a million others there - theres nothing "room scale" or "freedom" about being hooked up to a machine with cables running down your head and neck.
Carmack simply wouldn't do a job he is not interested in, I harshly doubt he'll ever be money oriented again, do you think that venture was profit oriented or something?
>>333181418
this is very satisfying to know.
>>333181387
Would be interesting.
Does OR really have a botnet? One side says it does, the others say it's just to look for software updates and to tell if you put on the headset or not.
>>333181227
>>333180715
Well due to "allow unknown sources" shit facebook rift pulled, Im guessing the wave is going to change into htc's ecosystem
East coast shipments going out now, check the FedEx delivery manager for tracking number. No email from HTC yet.
Is there really anything worth getting a vive for? Not just games wise. Games should be cool but I'm more interested in it as a platform.
I have a GearVR and it's great for porn but it's pretty blurry for me and the edges are really fucking blurred,
Wish I could test out the Vive somewhere to see how it is in comparison

I can't see untethered VR happening in the next 10 years at least. It would either require you to strap a high end PC to your face, which won't go down in size fast enough to make possible. Or require latency free high bandwidth wireless connection, which would require a breakthrough.
>>333181659
You could have typed less if you googled.
>>333181643
I tried signing up for Delivery Manager, but they kept asking these shitty questions I couldn't possibly know the answers to.
One was asking which town my uncle lived in, but I haven't talked to him in over a decade. Another was asking my grandfather's birth month who I don't speak with either.
Needless to say, I've been locked out of signing up for it due to excessive wrong answers.
>>333181924
Or it may requiresomeone like Carmack to work on it
Technically, untethered VR already happened, while tethered is just about to ship.
Phones are strong as fuck, once they figure out positional tracking without external shit - you'll be trading graphical fidelity for the tether.
>>333181418
Thats what you get for being a faggot and shooting aircrafts down and taking parts of ukraine what doesnt belong to you. And Karelia. Suits you right.
>>333181425
He needs the money to fund his space venture. Also mobile vr != untethered vr. The device performing the computation is important. It'll be a long time before phones can match a dedicated rig.
>>333182085
Okay yeah, I was assuming the same graphical fidelity. But if you want to sacrifice that, sure.
>>333182219
No, mobile VR = untethered VR, objectively.
Again, its just a difference in computational strength, and phones makes jokes out of computers from 7~ years ago.
Growth by the same margin would make untethered VR in 2025 a certainty with todays desktop graphics.
Anyone else noted how /r/oculus got BTFO by vive?

Mobile is a form of untethered vr, but not the only one. Both HTC and oculus were looking into wireless transmission tech, which is a lot more likely than mobile vr. People are only going to demand higher rez and better graphics, pure mobile is not going to be able to deliver a comparable experience for a long time.
my shipping info says my vive is sitting IN MY CITY right now, but not scheduled for delivery today. ffs.
>>333182985
semantics friend
mobile exists and can actually be done, meanwhile the concept of remotely doing computation goes straight up against the current problems with VR - wireless delay.
Both of what we are talking about is so up in the air they are the same "far away".
>>333182629
>ghetto pass-thru cam

You know this review is aimed for people who enter into this shit, they cant even remember the buttons on a joypad (12 buttons at much) and i have no trouble finding any key on the keyboard because i use the blind references.
>>333183209
Cant you just go to the mail and take it?
>>333183257
The camera image actually does not align itself that well at those close distances because it's only one camera. It's better to just display a model of the controller because those are tracked to the millimeter.
For you retards who thinks the Oculus Rift box is too minimalistic and not consumer friendly.
It comes with a fucking sleeve.

Top kek.
>>333183245
There was one company that claimed to have a working prototype and was contacted by both companies. I believe they were using laser transmission which could handle the bandwidth, though occlusion would obviously be a problem. Wish I could remember the name of the company.
>>333183454

Upgraded to an HTC m9 from m8. The m8 was okay but started shutting off on its own and other random shit. Short story is that phone wasn't picking up my voice during calls. And it happened in an emergency situation. Not good. Took it back and got an s6 edge plus. Best phone I've ever had and marshmallow just made it better. Hada HTC One 4g that died in two months because the screen stopped working.
