Why haven't you bought a /v/ive yet?
but i did
it's in my brother's place over at americai live in thailand, he'll be bringing it here the next few months
because there's like 4 overpriced games and a couple of gimmicky software titles for it.and it's £750
>>336452857
stupid ass waste of money that people will soon abandon when they realize the only people who will want it are loser hikis who want to be with their waifus
we used to think live action FMV's were the future of video gaming too
>>336453014
it reminds me of the 3DO for some reason
I have one that's been sitting in its box in my living room for a few days. Too lazy to set it up
Because they won't ship it here
why won't you take my money gabe
>>336453223
sure bud
>>336452857
No games.
I don't want to strap a toaster to my face
>>336452857
I don't care about room scale VR.
>>336452857
Bying it later
because im not fa/g/ot
>>336452857
Because there are no good videogames, or even apps, for VR. VR is DOA. Perhaps in 5 years time it'll take off but it smacks of """""year of the linux desktop""""" aka never ever.
>>336452857
I haven't the money to buy... anything. Why would I invent money from thin air and spend it on something I am also not interested in?
I did, but my wife's son is always on it so haven't had a try yet.
Well, I'm NEET lol. Even if I've had money, why should I buy this particular one, there's like quite a few of those

Well, there are only 2 relevant HMD's and one is made by Facebook.
Easy choice if you ask me...
>>336453834
Huh, that OSVR HMD seems pretty good if all you care about is stuff like flight sims. Price is okay too. I just wonder how much worse the lower resolution is.
Because I don't fall for marketing gimmicks. Enjoy your Wii Part 8 or whatever number we're on right now.

I have. It's amazing, but I need a bigger room.
same reason i didn't buy a 3DTV: it's a dumb gimmick
besides, i don't have a 10'x10' room just for this shit like they want.
The thing is pricey on it's own but I also need to upgrade my computer and I'm a NEET
>>336452857
Waiting for second gen headsets with better hardware and hopefully some actual games
>>336454935
Are people actually looking forward to the shitty shovelware that it's going to have? The only good thing about this is playing actual existing games.
>>336454826
if that cipher was real, it would have been cracked in less than a week by local police
I don't have $800 to spend on porn
>>336455098
I'm not talking about shitty puzzles or rail shooters they have now. I mean the real 'big' games that take advantage of VR capabilities and were designed to reduce motion sickness when playing them on a headset.
>>336452857
Cause I can't afford it. Also, I'm not convinced that Rift+Touch aren't the better headset and controller, the Vive's better tracking system notwithstanding.
>>336452857
maybe in five or ten years

There is no reason to be an early adopter. I'll just wait 4 years or so.
>tfw you remember VR still exists
Holy shit, this meme died fast.
>>336456724
>There is no reason to be an early adopter.
>4 years
you'll be waiting another 20 years before VR makes a comeback like this
>>336457009
It hasn't even begun. Dumb frogposter.
>>336457132
That's fine, I'm in no rush.
>>336457236
Delusional early adopter
>>336457285
Sour grapes fox
There probably won't be a decent game for it for a long time but I'm going to get one anyway because what else am I supposed to spend my money on?
>>336452857
It's too expensive for me
If it was €500 I'd order one right now just so I can VR fap again
>>336457353
>drop a grand on hardware with fewer games than the PS4
>y-y-you've just g-got sour grapes!
lel, enjoy your teleportation simulators, my friend.
>>336457479
I think you can get a gearVR plus necessary phone for that.
>>336457520
I will, while you aren't enjoying anything.
>>336457353
What are you gonna play on it though? Right now the grapes seem kinda nonexistant.
>>336457520
It can already be used to play many existing games kiddo
>>336457632
>video games don't exist outside of VR
You might be strapping that thing on a little too tight.
>PSVR comes out
>Community makes PC drivers for the device despite it having a smaller screen
The real concern about the PSVR is if there will be enough support outside of Ace Combat 7 and will normies like it? It doesn't looked wired in the video demons for it.
>>336457725
Whoa, I can play games in VR that I can already play?
>>336452857
Played it at my friend's place.
It's pretty fun, mainly just tech-demos though. Doesn't really justify the price.
>>336457750
>It doesn't looked wired in the video demons for it.
???
>>336457809
You're pretty retarded huh? The whole idea of VR is to, you know, play games in VR.
Got a vive sitting here on the floor.
Ive played a few games on it but nothing is really that fun. The potential is there but theres literally zero games that arnt glorified cash grab tech demos.
Im tempted by hoverjunkers or space pirate simulator though.
>>336457942
Demos
>>336457987
So you are saying that it looks wireless to you?
It's not.
Because I'm not paying $800 for tech demos
>>336457809
Yes?
>>336458106
How?
Does it look 3D?
>>336457986
I hear audioshield is also pretty fun if you're into that sort of thing.
>>336457731
>video games don't exist outside of VR
Never said that
The point of VR isn't to replace the current format of video games, it's to give a new way to experience them.
>>336458141
There is a program called Vorpx that converts games with Stereo3d into VR for 60 bucks, as well as a new program called Vireio Perception 4 that says it can do that as well as room scale for free
>>336457978
If you just wanted to play already existing games in VR you could have gotten a much cheaper HMD. The only good reason to get a Vive is roomscale VR, which only has trash games and tech demos right now.
>>336458162
I got it. Its decent but i couldnt play that shit for hours. Its boring after a few songs and no real "goal". I bring it out to play with friends though.
>inb4 VR means strap a screen on your face
>>336458364
That I agree with, Vive is overpriced shit compared to OR.
>>336457535
I don't like VR without head tracking
Also GearVR + phone is just as expensive
>>336458285
Does it actually work well though? How does it handle the fact that many video games have their HUD at the very edges of the screen, for example?
>>336458532
>Does it actually work well though?
No
Nvidia is working on something that let's you play all 3d Vision games on a big 3d screen in VR though
>>336458496
GearVR is a hundred bucks, and I'm seeing an S6 for four hundred something on Amazon here.
As for the positional tracking, most VR porn doesn't support it anyway, does it?
>>336458532
I cant say for Vorpx because im not in a position to shell 60 bucks atm. Im holding out for this free one.
The word for Vorpx is exceedingly positive though
I came into this thread looking for eye cancer memes and you all fucking disappointed me.
>>336458467
I think OR is shit too desu. No one asked for headphones or a bundled controller that drives the cost up. And I'm not even gonna talk about the Facebook shit.
From a software standpoint the OSVR platform makes the most sense to me. Their own HMD is more of a devkit right now though. At least it's cheap and doesn't have additional useless stuff.
>>336457986
>space pirate simulator though.
Why does this even exist with games like elite dangerous and star citizen being priced nearly the same and having so much more going for them
Get a joystick and steering wheel for space and flight and car games, those motion controls are the gimmick, not the VR headset
Dirt rally for one would be fucking amazing
Come on people
>>336458285
>OSVR
The fuck is that?
>Razer
You can't be serious
>>336458496
I would be interested in GearVR if it worked on any phone, not just a few Samsung models. I just got a new Nexus a couple months ago and I'm not buying Samsung's ugly Android reskin
>>336458910
Meant for >>336458774
>>336454645
>shitty useless augmented reality capability
VR's selling point is literally only immersion, who do you think is gonna get the monies
How is the support for other games?
Can you just start playing Half-Life with motion controls and everything?
>>336459038
Immersion in actual games, not shitty augmented reality shovelware. Valve will crash and burn with that price.
>>336458675
I never tried regular VR porn videos
All I really care about are animated 3d models
And that's not immersive without the head-tracking
>>336459038
Not him, but I have no idea what you're trying to say here.
What he was saying is that he thinks the Vive doesn't have much going for it compared to Rift other than the passthrough camera.
Although I think he's either discounting the motion controls there, or failing to factor in the price of Touch.
>>336458774
Oculus rift has its own headphones now?
What the fuck is wrong with these people, i dont want some fucking shitty motion control crap or some shitty headphones, just a fucking VR headset.
Yet none of them have a decent resolution or FOV
Why the fuck are their priorities all fucked up
>>336458910
It's an open standard for VR. The last thing we need is fragmentation of the VR market, so an open standard is a good thing.
It's also supported by quite a few companies, not just Razer.
>>336452857
Because it's way too much investment and set-up/upkeep effort for a 1st gen product
I'll get the cheapest, easiest and with the best library instead.
2 generations down the line I might just pick up a PC HMD if they make usable Zbrush VR more or something. Their current vive brush thing is such a joke
>>336452857
Because there isnt a single game I would play longer than I already have or will do just because of this headset, and with no good exclusives all I can say is why bother.
>MFWBut in all seriousness am I wasting $800 if I just want to get one of these to play Doom?
>>336459234
Oh, alright. In that case, yeah, you'll probably best wait for the prices for tethered headsets to go down.
Although Carmack is working on markerless inside-out tracking for the GearVR right now.
>>336459282
Integrated headphones are a great feature on VR headsets
Having another cable and having to put the headphone and headset on/off in specific order is very annoying
>>336452857
Because I don't waste capital on worthless and gimmicky plastic shit.
>>336459337
Yeah, you are. Just buy a really expensive bigass monitor for that money or some shit
>>336459282
>shitty headphones
You don't know what you're talking about.
>>336459282
I think the Rift's headphones are a plus. Seems like a hassle to have to wear a set of them over the HMD. Plus I hear they're pretty good actually.
>>336459474
But I want to get inside Doom and really feel like Guts. I don't think increasing the size of my monitor will cut it at this point.
>>336459714
Then youd also need someone to make the mod that lets you get inside Doom and feel like Guts.
In the very least, the headsets arent going to get more expensive. As soon as some games or mods come in that do appeal to you, then you can pick one up.
>>336459714
desu odds are you're going to feel like your guts want some fresh air
I hear that high speed circlestrafing and the like are particularly conductive to sim sickness
>>336459714
I wish there was a HMD that's halfway between a VR headset and a regular monitor. Something smaller and cheaper, without head tracking and custom controllers. Just a replacement for a normal monitor with higher FoV for playing older games .
>>336454712
This is cool
Existing with the tech excite me just as much if not slightly more
Do you feel like the price over oculus is justified? I'm leaning towards oculus but would like to know more
>>336460223
Existing games with the tech*
>>336460193
>without head tracking
Pretty sure you don't actually want that, no.
>>336460193
Have you taken a look at the OSVR one? Apparently it can play games made for Vive and Oculus with third-party software. It has a bit worse resolution and FoV than those two though.
>>336460342
I simply want to simulate a 100" monitor in front of me. Why would I want that?
>>336460435
Will check it, thanks
>>336460539
Because filling your vision without headtracking is a sure fire way to get nausea
>>336460539
Because the thing you described doesn't simulate a 100" monitor in front of you, it simulates a 100" monitor bolted to your head.
>>336460435
I think it also has a 60hz screen only.
>>336452857
i'll buy it when it gets more publisher support/gets a bit cheaper
>>336460798
According to http://xinreality.com/wiki/Virtual_Reality#Platforms the latest iteration has a 120Hz screen.
They're also upgradeable, so if the next iteration has, say a higher resolution screen you could replace that.
>>336459932
>I hear that high speed circlestrafing and the like are particularly conductive to sim sickness
That sounds like an awesome thing to try and overcome. I JUST WANNA GO FAST IN VR

Its a cable. Im not walking around the damn room, that shit is retarded, and if i was, i could get wireless ones.
Dont fucking tell me all these things are going to be bundled with fucking piece of shit god damn headphones, mine cost nearly half a grand and are fucking amazing, i better be able to use them with the best VR headset or im gonna be fucking livid, audio quality is about as important as visual, what the fuck are these retards doing
>>336461460
Do you think Amazon will have it with worldwide shipping by the end of the summer? That's my hope pretty much
Anything else means overpaying several hundred for a special import or to go pick it up from a friend in a country that exists
>>336461379
This is why i really want to get VorpX, i picked up a simple VR game called FATED, and it gave me motion sickness and it was really slow paced. I want to start replaying games i already played in order to build up an immunity to VR motion sickness.
There are a pair of F-Zero like VR games though, one of them especially caught my eye because it was a tunnel run game and it supported nonVR play and every single review said not to play it in VR.
I assumed because it was too heavy, too intense for virgin eyes

Recommend me some games and shit for Oculus Rift.
I tried EVE Valkyrie and Project CARS and both are very fun.
>>336461631
Of course you can use your own headphones as well
But most people will use the integrated ones
I don't want to buy a VR headset until I can play first person games that came out before it with it. I want to play all the elder scrolls games with VR.
>>336452857
I hate the fucking name of it. Sounds more of a vibrator than a VR headset.
>>336457986
Hover Junkers is the game I've spent the most amount of time in.

I don't like being an early technology adopter. Too expensive with too many issues. I'll wait until it's reasonably priced and it's worth it.
It's like buying a console at release.
>>336462595
Thats probably because youre FUCKING GAY AS FUCK
>>336462595
I didn't think of that yet, but now I won't be able not to think it when hearing the name, thanks for that.
>>336463017
Rude
>>336452857
Just fucking got my Vive today man, holy mother of fuck it is amazing.
But not without its problems, I hate the god damn strap system on the HMD. I cannot for the life of me get it not to droop when I look down. And the cable keeps fucking tangling every now and then if I forget to unwind and turn in the opposite direction every now and then.
The tracking system is superb It is the most important aspect along side comfort which was meh, PSVR would probably do better on that front.
I was worried the resolution would suck absolute balls, but it was tolerable, not where it needs to be but tolerable.
>>336462403
You can remove them?
Its still kind of a waste of money
>>336462601
Hover Junkers became my go to game as well. I have about 26 hours in it so far. Can't wait for them to add the uzi and flare gun. Although the revolver and fishing for headshots will probably always be the most meta.
>>336462696
As much as I love mine, I have to agree.
It is not worth the obscene amount of money you'd have to pay for it at the moment unless you are extremely excited about the tech.
Perhaps in the near future when the price of the hardware drops both in terms of lower end capable PCs and cheaper HMDs.
Now that I have seen it for myself I really believe VR and AR will be here to stay.
>>336461671
Haven't had any motion sickness so far thankfully.
I get easily motion sick reading text in a car or deep water fishing on a small boat, spent half the fishing trip barfing.
Only played the lab and audioshield so far, I have several titles and a whole heap of demos which I haven't tried yet, will play with it some more tomorrow, for now I gotta hit the sack.
>>336459452
I agree with that point, throwing on and off my fidelio X2s every time I want to get into VR can become a nuissance if done frequently.
But it isn't that bad for me I've grown used to the procedure. Chaperone system helps a lot in that regard I just unplug the headphones and place them on the table, can see them outlined easily when I want to put them back on and I have a short 3.5mm which I can easily find when reaching behind my back to plug them in which is the fiddliest part.
Would take that any day to get significantly better sound quality than integrated or cheap ear buds.
If it becomes tiring for long play sessions then I will reconsider but so far so good.
>>336454502
>Most games aren't 3D
Dude, what?
>>336459282
You can take them off easily.
>>336466412
The Oculus headphones are supposed to sound like $100+ ones
So not really high-end but not like cheap ear buds either
