You will never experience the waifu revolution, cuck.
It's two, small, shitty displays strapped to your head for 600 fucking bucks. $600 for a piece of shit that requires a $1000 PC.
I'm sure the normies will love it, for a month or so.
>>52356116
>two small shitty displays
did you even read anything about it?
or did you just shit out an opinion before seeing the facts
>>52356116
>bwahahaha I have no monies!!!
I tried the devkit, was underwhelming.
It's a neat toy, but it won't change the world.
The only thing I'd buy one for is simulators, because if I've spent thousands of dollars on flight sticks and steering wheels and head tracking equipment and several monitors, $600 isn't that much.
>>52356135
That's literally what it is, cunt.

VR is fucking dumb but is fucking excellent for porn. Hard to go back to regular porn after you've had a pair of giant fake tits bouncing in your face. Or a butthole mere virtual centimeters away.
Everyone buying an occulus rift is buying it for a porn machine lets not lie to ourselves.
2 years ago when i actually tried it at e3.
Certainly not after I'd tried it, that's for fucking sure.
Poverty is a mental illness.
>>52356198

if it wasn't a Kite&Lightning demo you were experiecning, it was literally the worst

you're not buying techspecs, you're buying an experience on a level never experienced before, shit head
>>52356198
it is two pretty high quality screens with a device that tracks you head and allows you to move it in a 3D space. I have played some games on there which have blown my mind compared to playing them normally, elite dangerous etc. It might not be mainstream but then neither are flightsticks or other peripherals yet those are great to use.
Also nice arguing skills.
>>52356317
I played a superman simulator which sucked, but the beach villa and the ghost corridor ones were pretty cool.
It's really just a very polished and entertaining gimmick.
It has it's uses, but it's not going to revolutionize the way we experience media.
Really the best application for it is replacing TrackIR in games like ARMA and IL-2.
>>52356223
yeah, its excellent when retard virgins try to hype it up. then you put one on and realize the image quality is fucking atrocious, the edges are blurry, the field of view is garbage.

A laptop is literally just a bunch of plastic and metal. Why would you ever want that when you could just get metal and plastic from hotwheels????!!!!!!
>>52356413
IL-2 is a WW2 flight simulator.
Just an example but yeah, if I had one I'd use it for games like Dirt Rally, flight sims, Elite Dangerous, etc.
That's an application I can really see working well.
>>52356450
Yeah it's cool, but it's no cooler than the first time I saw 3D, everything people are saying about Oculus they also said about 3D, and that didn't catch on.
Yes I know you're going to tell me how ambitious VR is and how different it is to 3D but the same principle applies, it's a visual gimmick supposed to make things seem "real".
>2003
>oh wow this James Cameron movie is so cool in 3D it's like I'm really there!
>2015
>oh wow this Oculus Rift game is so cool it's like I'm really there!
I'm just not buying it, using one didn't make me run to get my credit card and secure a pre-order, it's a fun peripheral, it's not a media revolution.
>>52356534

VR itself is not that impressive. The feature that makes it a good peripheral is head tracking, that allows it to be used more. It won't be useful for most things but it will be incredibly useful for anything with a cockpit.
I am not convinced it will be useful for FPS games in any way, you cannot get the accuracy or speed of K&B and if you try to use one whilst wearing it it will fuck with your head.
>>52356575
the problem with 3d was that it was cinema/tv content only and you had to rely on everything hollywood spit out.
with vr, it's a completely other thing the way it is now.
VR is not a 3D tv which gives you an idea of immersion, VR wants to replace your presence and it's just something nobody can escape from if done right
>>52356617
Unless you're playing something like ARMA or Insurgency where more realism has some benefit, it won't be useful for competitive FPS, mostly because the fucking FOV is so narrow.
But I can see the training application for flight sims and the military issue version of ARMA.
My coworker brought in one of those headsets you can strap to your samsung galaxy to turn it into a VR headset. It was cool for a while but it gave me a headache.

Current VR is a gimmick. Sorry but that's the truth and you people know it.
Until we reach a level in wich we can directly connect ourselves with a virtual world via neural connections, something like in the matrix.
Call me when that happens.

hi taco-kun
>>52357210
which is sensational illusions.
the thing about VR is that current type vr is pleasurable enough, because your sensory system mostly relies on your eyes and your hearings which can ultimately be enough to trick your sensory system in this regard. you don't need a TV which sends out fragrances into your nose to get a new level of entertainment either.
you can't simulate your whole set of sensations without biological research which first has to be discovered in the next 100 years any way.. so why not appreciate it as it is now? of course you have to try it first so just don't restrict yourself in it.
just try it out once it is publicy more available and don't talk it to the ground, we simply can't know yet
everything will arrive step by step.
Early bird catches the memes.

living in america really must be a pain in the ass with so many people just wanting to lure out your moneys and coming up with so many nasty buzzwords that everything you see, causes mistrust because of your previous purchase choices.
i finally can relate with you...
>>52357363
Not a freetard (a freetard wouldn't accept just OS X support). Rebooting into a different OS just for games is too much of a PITA, and I hate doing work and casual surfing under Windows so it really doesn't make sense for me to dual-boot windows just for gaming. If it's not available for OS X or PS4 I just won't play it.

>>52357444
yes
if you don't want roomscale VR
if you want to pay a lower price because HTC/Valve won't subsidize it as mad as facebook/oculus did
any other than that, things can change massively with their consumer version.. the htc pre-vive doesn't even have lightweight headsets in them.
it could be that it gets delayed for a couple of months aswell
Are there any estimates as to when the next gen of graphics cards that are more suited for these things will be out? I don't have a VR-capable card right now and it might not make sense to buy anything yet depending on how soon the next gen is coming.

VR is worst of all worlds for porn.
Cuts many thousands of dollars from the budget that could've gone into getting actual hot girls instead of worn out budget stretch mark bitches.
The closer the camera is and the higher res they make it, the more you stare at stretch marks, hairs, pimples, pock marks and scars and pores.
If it's not a cartoon rig model, then the camera cannot look at her from every single direction, so it's only pretend-VR.
Girls aren't gonna stand still for millions of dollars of cameras to move 360 degrees in between each time they move slightly.
Anime also looks like shit from 360 degrees, so essentially all that works for oculus VR is 3d video game renders.
>>52357544
HTC will be taking pre-orders next month. They have actual experience with high-volume production and delivery of hardware.
>>52356865
>>52357170
Look I'm not happy about the current VR but I don't understand this fucking meme.
If you really think VirtualBoy and Oculus are even on the same level in any way you're fucking ignorant and an autist.
What's the point of having a virtual waifu who appears to be next to you when, when you reach out to touch her, you hand will only go through empty space.
>>52357562
>so essentially all that works for oculus VR is 3d video game renders.
aaaand this is why skin+hair rendering and face rigging will suddenly get 1000x better and more convincing in the next 2-3 years.
>>52357562
this is bait, please say that this is bait...
It's the VR version of the Google Glass, it makes you look like a moron groping imaginary stuff in the air, while sitting alone in your room.
Another meme technology meant to milk the masses of their hard-earned cash. Tech companies were in a dilemma after everyone got a smartphone and the tablet thing kinda flopped they needed the next meme tech.
I hope they get sold by the millions. :D
>The story is set in the near future, where a chance invention allows people to experience virtual reality without the need for costly hardware — a seconds long movie drives a person into a sort of psychosis, forcing one's subconsciousness to perceive a simple 3D game as real world. Soon after the invention, Microsoft and IBM build a virtual city on the Internet called "Deeptown" (named so after the street name for VR — the Deep), which anyone is free to log on and enter. The painted world becomes a second home for millions people — but some of them 'sink', i.e. forget to return to the reality and eventually die of dehydration. Only a small group of people calling themselves divers are capable of leaving the Deep at will. Gods of the virtual world, they help those who sink.
So, since it's commonly understood that the foremost use for VR at the moment is porn, let's have a brief word about that.

so obvious you've zero experience in the industry and are the usual paint-huffing visionary waiting for a jetson's flying car.
The demand has already existed for decades, and look at how fucking ugly the face rigging is in Fallout 4.
Mocap is still expensive and time consuming and still doesn't make an animation porn-worthy.
Good sequences still take thousands of hours of labor by teams of poorly paid over-worked 3d animators and there's zero evidence that it's going to change any time soon.

I disagree, the demand *hasn't* been there. Yeah, it's nice when games do facial expressions well but it's not something that makes or break sales. It's a bullet-point at best.
For porn, if the 3D is too shitty it won't sell and if it's good but not good enough it'll be smack dab in the middle of the uncanny valley, which also won't sell. The only way 3D porn can work is if it's amazing. If that can't be achieved, 3D porn won't catch on as a market until a decade or more from now when/if the whole VR deal is revisited yet again.

Besides porn - VR won't take off in normal consumer markets.
However they will boom in places that are designed for VR that don't exist yet.

Another thing he mentioned was a lack of content for VR. Not many people are going to have it and not many people are going to bother creating content for it at first. Apparently, you can't even play games with a first person perspective, like Half-Life or Thief, because you'll end up getting sick.
I'm really hyped for VR and all the cool gadgets you can get along with it, like the Tesla Suit or omnidirectional treadmills, but I think it'll take another couple of iterations of the consumer versions before the tech is at a point where you can really enjoy it without experiencing discomfort.
I'll see how much the Vive will cost and decide then if I'm going to get it or not because I'm still hype as fuck despite all the potential for shit.

You can expect AMD's first new Polaris GPUs to arrive around May or June this year. Though nobody knows yet if they'll release a high-end GPU or if they'll limit themselves to low budget GPUs with high efficiency, kinda like Nvidia did with the 750 TI.

Literally every revelation about it reeks of a good idea getting ruined by rich jews getting their tentacles on it to jump on the bandwagon.
It'll cost about $1700 in total to get a setup running if you don't already have a gayming computer.
>>52362489
Why don't you just buy an Oculus Rift bundle containing an original, cutting edge Oculus Rift VR headset providing state of the art immersion and a high-end gaming PC capable of delivering ultra fast refresh rates at VR resolution?
It's only $1500!
>>52362341

In 1997 when I was gifted a virtual reality console/helmet with a tennis game.
A few years later I realized how retarded 3D was aswell.

After reading that book once and listening it as an audio book second time, I consider it pretty hot garbage. I like the atmosphere the book has, but it's not that good of a book, or a story. I read armada last month as well, it was even shittier.

I didn't see it as "real" sci-fi. It's more like an adventure story for young adults with a cyberpunk spin.
I still enjoyed reading it. A lot more than Neuromancer.
>>52357335
>he doesn't realize that was just an excuse made by people who didn't want to see the workforce made into a human assembly line, like it is today with over crowded subway systems and city workers hating themselves

I just wanna have more immersion in my hands, you faggot's using it for porn are like the 1%
>>52364018
But listening to Carmack, it sounds as if you can't really use VR comfortably yet without getting sick.
It's really good at tricking your brain into thinking you're inside a virtual world, but if you move inside the virtual world and remain stationary in the real world you get sick. If you tilt your head in a weird way or the developer messes up their scene composition, your senses get confused and you get sick.
It sounds as if VR needs another couple of years before it can do what people want.

Yes, only twenty fucking dollaridoos

It'll be the Wii of 2016. Normalfags will have one just as a shitty gimmick to show off to their m8s. Then by years end it'll get stuck in a closet to collect dust.
idk name a promise oculus have made that they haven't broken
"the rift will be in the ballpark of $350"
"the rift will be open-source"
"the rift will support mac and linux"
"the rift will ship in q1 2016"
What would be the killer app that would make you buy this? I for one can't think of any
How many people preordered an Oculus again? Like a million?
>>52356053
Since the Virtual Boy.
it's a fun toy, but in terms of useful innovation it's essentially useless.

Are they insulting me by claiming some mexican can afford it and I can't?
WELL FUCK THEM I CAN AFFORD AND JUST PREORDERED.
Keep raising the price of VR please.
I plan on buying a bunch of HMDs with something like Infinadeck and renting them out to people by the hour. High price means people would rather rent by the hour than own one and play at home, just like the 1st oldschool arcade games.
Arcades will be reborn in 2016!
>>52357341
>"display"
>literally just shiny dots on a flat surface
>>52367179
I'd love to see new high end arcades with these full body VR setups. I kind of doubt that will happen though.
Games might have to be specifically developed for this hardware.
>it's more in euros than dollars
that's r-r-r-r-retarded
>>52356053
who know what will it be?
im waiting for those wholl get it now to beta test it for a few years and then ill decide if ill get it
>>52367687
What's with that anyway? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
>>52367677
States HAVE THEIR OWN SALES TAX. It pisses me off to no end about America.
Gear VR is COOL but it's only worth $100, not $800 for the full setup assuming you don't already own a compatible phone
>>52367715
Is it possible to order one to the US and then ship it to Europe yourself for cheaper?
>>52367730
Even with ~20% VAT, 699€ is still more than $599.

Full body haptic feedback
>>52356053
The moment I saw the kikestarter. Then I was solidified when I could put my cellphone in a cardboard box and get the same experience without Facebook adware.
>>52367890
>cellphone in a cardboard box
>the same experience
But that is a false assumption.
>>52367890
Full body haptic feedback with harness, we're talking Dot Hack/Sword Art Online/Neon Genesis Evangelion type shit.
>>52367953
>Lose your eye in-game
>Your real eye explodes too
I'd rather not, senpai!
>>52367746
I need a new cellphone. Thinking about the GearVR but it doesn't work with PC yet does it? Just shitty phone apps.
>>52367970
That's not how those anime described haptic feedback
>>52367951
Considering I've tested rift already out and I've used the cardboard method you're not going to fool me I no wasting $600
>>52367953
Rift doesn't do that for me though.
>tfw no dot hack memo that isn't broken
>buying first gen tech
only retards do this.
>>52368000
That's how it worked in Evangelion. (to some degree)
Would be awesome!
>>52368013
Your cellphone is as powerful as a GTX 970 or greater and can play modern games at 90 fps?
>>52368000
>That's not how those anime described haptic feedback
Actually the ONLY current full body haptic suit is quite dangerous. The suit literally electrocutes your body with very small volts like a TENS unit works. It has the potential to create a heart attack or do permanent nerve damage if the software fucks up or is hacked.
>>52368055
Are you trying to convince me that I should buy rift just to play some shitty FPS ?
The only genre I would even consider it for is RPGs and the only one that comes to my mind that's first person is shitty Bethesda games. All the RPGs I even like are third person and old.
There's no reason for me to even want rift for "demanding" games. And if I want some virtual reality demo or just a fun tiny puzzle I can do that with my phone.
>>52368113
I don't give a shit what you do. I'm just denying that the experience is the same.
>>52368090
The future sounds great. I can see it now... government remote shutdowns of humans that act up
>>52368113
The one thing you won't be able to play well with a rift is fps.
Mouse and keyboard is simply vastly superior and nobody wants to move their head around constantly during a game, shit would be extremely uncomfortable and disorienting.
>>52368055
I'll just use my thunderbolt connector on my phone to hook up to my Razor Core external GPU :,>
>>52368150
What will you use it for then?
>>52368150
Maybe not twitch competitive, but VR is amazing for anything first-person.
>>52368207
Porn
>>52356865
Is that a sentry?
>>52368223
No, literally any fps.
I didn't say first person I said first person shooter. Basically anything where you need to look around constantly its useless and a gimmick, which is 99% of all first person games.
Maybe you could play influent or myst or some shit for half an hour before your neck got sore.
>>52356820
It also seems to have left some marks in your speech centers.
>>52367755
Sure, enjoy no warranty :^)
>>52368207
VR works best with cockpit style games or where the viewer is stationary.
Not first person shooters.
Virtual boy
>>52368281
>>52368324
Check out Bullet Train, and Hover Junkers.
Those are the real type of FPS that we're going to get into.
HTC Vive is a much better platform for VR FPS.

You realize that's more or less the "toy" version of VR, right?
But that's what's going to happen. People will try out the phone driven versions and not understand that it's the cheapest (and worst) version of VR.
>>52368417
If the PS4 can run VR then so can modern high end phones.
>>52368464
I'm not sure you understand. That anon put his phone into a cardboard "headset" with some lenses.
>>52368464
I think your reasoning is flawed there.
A gtx 970 is at least 3 times as powerful as the gpu in a PS4 and a PS4 is at least 10 times as powerful as a phone gpu.
>>52368476
And you put yours into a padded plastic box with lenses in front of a small screen as well
>>52368464
I'm pretty sure the PS4 GPU is still more powerful by an order of magnitude or more than the best phones.
>>52368495
Wut? that's not how the PS4 VR works.
>>52368495
Not even close. This thing will easily cost $400.
>>52368633
Oh man... padded plastic box with a plastic headband
>>52368713
Feel free to hold up a cardboard box on your face while you attempt to use a controller.
>>52368826
You do realize the better quality ones strap around your head to.
>>52356076
This. VR is "Literally who owns it" tier, until it's shipped default with major computers or consoles, it will NEVER EVER catch on.
After playing around with Google Cardboard and remembering I don't like video games and could buy drugs instead of a $600 headset.
>>52368998
Why not both? Imagine VR while on drugs.
>>52369078
I'd be annoyed by having my noisy gaming PC on. Maybe in 5 years when I can plug a headset into a single USB-C slot.
>>52356053
I can't even keep track of the sheer quantity of sour grapes Occulus has been for people

One of the problems might be that there could be an updated version of the hardware in a year or two.
>>52356053
When did you realize that stating a position that people who disagree with you are in some way less intelligent was the epitome of internet arguments? I mean, you know who doesn't like VR? Gamergate, the same people who killed david bowie!
>>52356116
