Go play with your Wii/PSMove/Kinect. Didn't like it? Now imagine playing it with a screen strapped to your face. Like it now? What about you needing to clear out an entire room just to do that waggling facescreen shit. Like it now?

Don't fall for this waggling facescreen shit, it isn't true VR and is only a fad like motion controls. It'll fail spectacularly and you won't need to lose $400+ in the process.

Do any of you have one of the VR sets?

Watching vids of some games (just indie ones) and they look like so much fun. Even the glitchy messed up ones.
>>
>>343135441
>400

Yeah I fucking wish lmao, if I could get the vive for 400 I'd get it right now just to try it.

Do you expect better VR soon or something?

I've never tried the move but I did play wii, liked it alright for some party games and stuff but I guess it wasn't all that accurate.

Who's this neon demon?

>>343135829
I don't have any more of her

She is awfully fucking cute though. Would lick cunny

>>343135829
She's from a Nintendo trailer
>>
>>343134238
Yes, wait for vive 2 $499
>>
>>343136618
I wonder if they will do one next year around the same time they released this one. If so it would probably be prudent to wait.
>>
>>343134238
yes

wait until the next gen

nothing worth using it for at this point
>>
>>343137054
Honestly the early access indie shit looks fun enough for me at this point, but the prospect of a much improved (maybe cheaper) unit does sort of suggest it would be better to wait.
>>
you'll need a stronger card. Just make sure you know, if you swung your camera (head) around in a game and there is any framerate drop at all with a higher than 1080p resolution you WILL GET SICK in VR.
>>
>>343134238
How much do you make a year?

Yes.

>>343136964
Most computers can't even run the current head sets all that well.
>>
Get a better card and then think about getting a vive.
>>
>>343137156
Not much but I don't have many expenses.

>>343137152
>>343137264
Yeah I suppose it will be next year anyway for me if the 390 isn't up to it. That will mean a gtx 1070 or 1080 and a VR set. That's a shit load.
>>
>>343137156
>>343137552
Should add though that I've got about 3 grand to just basically do what I want with, (where I don't spend much) but obviously wouldn't want to waste it all.

I have a 390 and it works perfectly fine for VR, even Elite Dangerous works fine in it. Anyone saying that's not enough is crazy.

Now regarding the headset itself, the Vive hardware is fucking amazing and all the glowing praise you hear about it is spot on. Anyone saying it's just a monitor strapped to your face is fucking retarded, not sure why people feel the need to shit their opinion out when they haven't even tried the technology. The major problem with VR currently is that there just aren't ANY meaty games for you to sink your teeth into, everything you're looking at is generally a 1-2 hour experience you'll play once and never again.

Currently I'd say if you aren't a developer (I am) or don't have a significant amount of disposable income, then you definitely shouldn't buy one just yet.
>>
>>343139331
Well damn, things like hover Junkers and stuff look so fun though.

You're probably right though. 800 bucks is a lot, hopefully at least my 390 is enough for a while.
>>
>>343139557

The multiplayer games are where the Vive really shines, being able to wave and gesture towards other people adds a surprising amount of fun to the experience. I haven't tried Hover Junkers yet, but Battledome is a lot of fun.

But yes, at the end of the day it is a lot of money for what it offers currently.
>>
>>343140405
I really hope it continues to go through though, the possibilities from VR are pretty sweet. I hope it's not just another fad.
>>
>>343134238
yes. wait for the next generation, if there are any games worth playing. right now it's a wasteland and the vr devices are very shit.

VR doesn't have any games, though.

VR is nothing more than an experience. If you're willing to pay 500 bones for an experience than go ahead dude.
>>
>>343134238
Why do you want VR? There's nothing to play but shooting galleries and other shallow games like that
>>
>>343141085
Watched some indie game called spell fighter and a few more, dunno it's just the coolest thing I've seen video game wise in a while. Looks super fun.
