By the way, does anybody have that bingo card with all the typical things naysayers do?
It still is.

Whether it becomes popular in the future or not you're a fucking dumbass if you bought one of the current generation headsets. Fucking $800 + needs a $500+ GPU to play what amounts to Wii motion plus tier games. "HUR U POOR?" No, I just know that for $1300 I could get some good games instead of a platform packed with shovelware.
Oh and Oculus is shipping them out so slowly by the time you get yours they'll be making a better and cheaper model anyway.
>>340133021
True. It's got to get better or at least cheaper.
It's just funny when people are calling it 'dead' when every brand has sold out on pre-orders and more games are being developed.
>>340131962
>implying the Oculus isn't the one that's the fad
Cuck. Get a Vive instead.
Is pic related worth buying/building? I haven't seen anyone talk about it since the plastic moneysinks came out.
>>340134059
Gimmick toy fun for about 10 minutes and then it goes into the trash along with the Oculus. If you're getting anything just get a Vive, save up, it's worth it.
>>340134059
Not really. The tracking is camera based and drifts, plus the fov isn't at all good. There seems to be no options for finetuning the eye distance settings, like a proper headset.
>>340133207
Say what you want, but Space Pirate Trainer is more fun than all the other games I've ever played combined.
Enjoy play remakes of the same shit over and over.
>>340135128
Ok I will enjoy it. Have fun blowing insane amounts of money on meme shit
VR is fun for porn though.
>Smartphone
>VR cardboard
>Have your own source for VR material or visit /t/
I want to get one, but all I've seen so far is tech demos and 'beta' shit
Is there anything on any VR system actually worth playing?
>>340133207
>$500+ GPU
More like $200 dollars.
>>340136036
>$800 is "an insane amount of money"
I've spent more than that on controllers like arcade sticks, hotas joysticks, and force feedback racing wheels
samsung is giving ahead free VR helms with purchase of some of their products.
I think it's a fad in the same way mobile games are a fad, and that only casuals will be the ones interested in it.
>>340136601
>implying you'll run anything on that shitty "min" spec card
>probably AMD too
Yeah nah, fuck off shill.
>>340136307
This...
All the "games" i've seen so far are Mobile tier stuff. Arcade tier at best.
They need to make VR for games, not games for VR.
>>340136802
>Mobile games
>a fad
They've been around since Snake and everybody plays them. If that's a fad, it's lasting a bloody long time.
>>340131962
VR isn't a fad, because it was never cool to begin with. Its going to die faster than the Vita, literally.
>>340136643
Enjoy your tv that cant be used by more than one person at a time all for a low price of 800 dollaydoos plus not including the supporting hardware to run it
>>340136910
Fucking this. Every time I read about some developer doing a VR game, it's like they have no idea what the heck they want to do. There's no soul or inspiration or real character in any of this shit.
I'm interested in VR for simulating shit, and fapping. Anyone expecting anything beyond Wii sports-tier shit in the vidya department is tripping.
>all new video cards are designed for VR
>all PCfags are talking about making their PC's "VR ready"
>there are no noteworthy VR games
>there are no noteworthy VR games announced
>people are still buying all this shit despite having literally no software to use it with
you couldn't make it up. pure mindless consumerism.
VR is best in racing sims
>>340137987
Just like ps4 owners then?
>>340136898
If the RX 480 beats the GTX 970 in bench marks then VR is going to be cheap for this generation. Especially with HMDs getting direct hardware support for single pass multi-render.
>>340131962
Unless it's full dive it's shit.
>>340138436
It will be 980 level performance
>>340131962
Wake me when actual VR comes out.
>>340137987
I don't think VR gaming will take off. The first sandbox with mod support will absorb the whole community. At some point it will just be a proto holodeck people fuck around on.
>>340138913
When Sony's patent on ultrasound cerebral stimulation runs out in 2019 we'll be at the gates. Until then it's 80's cyberpunk vr.
>>340138913
I want SAO to actually happen in 2022. I want to be trapped in a game of death with you faggots.
>>340133207
I hate that "poorfag" bs. Some of us don't live with our parents and have to make car payments, buy groceries, etc.
>>340140928
Here's hoping.
>>340132286
Does it have a "moving your character is still an unsolved problem somehow" square?
>>340137307
>more than one person at a time
im not surprised you didnt get replied to
>>340142074
That is a legit problem but naysayers keep using words like 'never' when talking about solutions.
It's as stupid as that Texas town that closed it's patents office because "Everything has already been invented".
I kinda want to buy a Vive but I'm afraid as soon as I get one, it becomes obsolete.
Do they have any plans for the future? Are they working on upgrading the software of current devices or are they already looking into updating the devices itself?
>>340144264
I'm waiting until both companies increase production. Right now it costs more to get one second hand than new, because of the long queue of pre-orders.
>>340144480
It's the Rift that's backed up to next year. Vives ship inside three days of ordering.

Wew lads

Gear VR is only $100? You need a recent model Samsung phone so although I wouldn't buy them both just for the very, I'm sure many people already have a competitor phone.
Anyway it's pretty mind blowing. I legit was on the fad train until I tried the one my mate bought. You don't expect it to be so overwhelming.
I strongly hope you guys try one at least once, it's a good experience. It would be at least 20 years until they could be so compact, good and cheap that it would e the norm to own one so don't get your panties in a twist.
I can't justify buying one yet. If I had a Samsung I woykdt but I'm not getting a new phone just for the vr.

Still waiting for the next wave of the headgear. If you bought into the first gen you are a fucking retard.
>>340137987
simulators era is better than gaming
>>340138242
>b-b-but Sony
Meme all you want, but the system has more games than the Wii-tier initial VR bullshit will have.
>>340135128
C'mon now son.
SPT is fun, but that's about it.
>>340131962
Vr is the longest running failure in gaming history. 6 decades straight of nothing but failures.
>>340149302
>thinking there will be another wave of "headgear" if no one buys the current headsets.
