can someone explain something to me?
ive had my rift on back order for a bit now, it should come in "august"
apparently they started selling them at best buy, or so ive heard, but according to their website they are completely sold out in every store? am i reading this wrong?
plus i had my order cancelled because apparently your shipping address needs to mach your BILLING address exactly, which means i need to send it to my house in NY and have it shipped by someone i know to my current location in VA, which is fucking retarded.
do they have them in best buy or not, because i will drive there right now and pick one up.
seriously it blows my mind right now that oculus can fuck up so much that its impossible to get a consumer product months after its release.
buying a DK2 was more easy than this
>>339938075
They underestimated the hype. It's the same with the Vive. Both received way more preorders than they expected and have issues actually fulfilling all the orders in time.
>>339938704
>way more preorders than they expected
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
The preorders exist so that they can gauge demand.
The preorders tell them how many to expect.
They still fucked up.
Why would anyone buy a Rift over a Vive?
I mean, I'm not getting either, but if I was going to shell out this much money for a headset, might as well pay an extra couple hundred to get proper room-scale VR.
>>339938897
Why would anyone buy into the VR gimmick? It's like Wii 2.0
>>339938897
If I was going to get one I would buy Sony VR to minimize the buyer's remorse, learn my lesson and move on with my life.
>>339938897
Oculus is cheaper and some people lack room space. That said I've heard that Vive is better even without the room but I can't really confirm it.
>>339939113
>Oculus is cheaper
How much will the motion controllers and extra camera cost? I doubt it'll be $150.

>>339938897
900% this
I had Oculus DK1, DK2, and now a consumer Vive. Room scale is so good that Oculus should be shaking in their boots.
>>339939729
Nice argument.
>>339939218
It's more of a Kinect thing. Some people probably don't care about room VR or motion controllers and Vive doesn't have a cheaper alternative without those things. I can see them enhancing the experience but for someone who is only interested in 3d waifus a controller is enough.
>>339939859
Rift is gonna have room scale once they release the touch controllers which come with another sensor.
They say Q4 this year but who knows.
>>339939630
I never tried 3D TV but there's VR porn videos shot in a way where they get immersive as fuck. Imagine the actress getting extremely close to you, eye contact etc. It fucks your brain up.
>>339939113
What >>339939218 says, just Vive has standing and seat modes plus not all games use the controllers.
>>339940212
POV porn has existed for decades you dumb piece of shit.
You know what would enhance the experience more than a 3D TV strapped to your face?
A 4K monitor.
>>339939630
>>339940015
Not even close. Once you try room scale hentai games, you'll never go back to KB+M or controller. See here:

Anyone here tried nekopalive in VR? Was my first time experiencing anime grills and I had a boner the entire time.
>>339940970
Yeah dude, that 1024x768 15" DELL laptop from 1678 that you use to jerk off is just as good as Vive or Occulus. That's totally the reality.
>>339941132
Works fine along with my poverty fleshlight thank you very much.
It's just a fad that will die soon.
>>339941439

>>339940702
VR is pretty hard to explain to those who haven't tried it.
Think of your screen as a window. No matter how big it may be, you're still outside, looking in. With VR, you're inside the action. You can look up, down and right behind you and you'd still be in the scene.
On top of that the 3D is 1:1 with your pupil distance, so objects have a correct feeling of scale. It's called 'presence' and actually fools your brain into thinking it's real. People instinctively duck and back away from things.
It's better in game engines but video can be good if it's set just right.
>>339941439
>>339941629
>>VR is pretty hard to explain to those who haven't tried it.
I hope they are paying you shills overtime for your hard work then.
>>339941124
Anime shit in VR is really the best use of it. The anime aesthetic isn't really hindered by the low resoulution and if you downsample things it can look great.
>>339941794
Try reading things instead of parroting memes.
>>339937628
Hey op. I own both a rift and a vive. Do yourself a favor and just get the vive. You can order now and have it in a few weeks. My rift is collecting dust and I use my vive nearly everyday.
>>339941794
You still haven't proven you've tried it. I haven't tried it either, but I still understand his point. I'm wishing to try it out in the near future.
>>339941794
Dude if you haven't tried it you have no ground to stand on.
>>339942130
What are the pros and cons of each one?
>>339942130
Not him, but 800 bucks for a piece of hardware that might be obsolete soon is a pretty daunting thing.
I really want to try VR but the price is just too much.
>>339937628
why did you order the inferior VR headset from the scummiest company?
>>339942334
I heard Microcenter has Vive demo setups if you have one close to where you live
>>339942262
Just ignore his kind. He's the kind of shitposter to say a game is shit without ever playing it.
>>339942262
>If you haven't tried it you can't have an opinion
>If you have tried it you wasted money
Sounds reasonable.
>>339942264
Not him, but I have both.
Ocuclus only has the advantage of drm locked games and cheaper price. Vive's room scale is so much better that I'll never touch the Rift again. Already have it on ebay.
>>339942264
Let me try to break it down.
As far as screen and resolution is concerned both rift and vive use the same screens. 2 screens, one for each eye at the same resolution. One can argue the rift lenses are marginally better and the image quality is slightly more crisp, however I think I prefer the vive in this area because the field of view is wider and higher.
Both headsets are comfortable. The rift is a bit more comfortable but the vive isn't not comfortable either.
Now where things get interesting is the software/ecosystem. Since the vive uses steam, it's more fleshed out and customizable. The oculus storefront is complete garbage. I'm talking, no ability to sort, return, or search for software. Plus the vive ecosystem feels like this community of experimentation where there is so much more available from small operations just feeling out the ecosystem since it's so new. Yeah this means there is a bit more garbage but some of it is so interesting and compelling. I could make a list 20 games long of must play games for the vive but only 3 games long for the rift
Vive has the controllers, which add so much to the experience, it's almost likeep trying to explain vr to someone again. It adds so much more immersion. Yes, oculus is coming out with touch, but we don't know when and how much it will cost. Vive offers the experience now. Plus oculus is acting like Apple and trying to lock down their ecosystem. It's bullshit and if I had to back one horse for the future it would be valve/steam not oculus.
This was kind of disjointed if you have specific questions let me know.
>>339942264
Not him, but also have both. Vive's controllers really add to the immersion and interaction. Roomscale and walking around is cool for the few games that actually confine the game to your area. Rift can do the walking around to a small extent as well, but you really miss having your hands and the full room.
When it comes to sitting down stuff though, the Rift crushes the Vive, I don't know how people say it's the same. It's way more comfortable, lighter, and has built in headphones which doesn't matter that much when you are walking around, but when you are getting comfy playing ETS2, Elite Dangerous, DCS, or any vehicle sim, it's so much better. I've also had more framerate issues with the Vive compared to the Rift.
If you are interested in VR get the Vive, only if you are only interested in specific sim games should you get the Rift.
>>339943092
I am him and this is pretty true. I wouldn't say it CRUSHES the vive, but yeah the rift is more comfortable for seated experiences.
>>339941568
Yep. Seems you can emote really well with those.
>>339942950
I should add. I own 56 vive games/experiences and 3 rift games.
>>339943601
Which Rift games?
>>339944401
Apart from luckeys tale and even valkryie (it'd garbage)
Blaze rush, chronos, and elite dangerous
>>339944401
Rift
>>339939630
VR porn is not 3d tv porn
>>339944510
Isn't Elite Dangerous also a Vive game?
>>339944510
I hear blaze rush is a lot of fun.
I only got Project CARS aside from the included games.
>>339940423
Do you get your money back in that case? That seems like blatant theft.
>>339944620
So I love these scripted demos and everything but what would actually happen if he put his hands inside her breasts instead of in front of them?
>>339939113
>That said I've heard that Vive is better even without the room but I can't really confirm it.
I haven't heard that. I've actually heard that the Rift headset itself is more comfortable and the image quality is better (though the later is barely noticeable). once the controllers are out it'll really come down to how much you care about room scale.
I would personally get a Vive because I'd like to at least have the option of moving around, and the headset thing seems to be a case of the Rift being slightly better rather than the vive being bad.
>>339944625
Yes, it plays better on the Rift though, because Frontier often fucks up.
>>339944909
Different titles handle collisions differently. Some have the hands collide with the object and obey the simulation, others have them remain tied to controller position and respect the user input. It's immersion breaking either way but which is better tends to be a user preference thing.
>>339944909
Exactly what you think would happen. VR porn is shit. It was fun for a week, then I just went back to regular porn.
>>339944909
You can see the hand clipping through slightly there. I think in Surgeon Simulator the hands stick but a ghost image of the hand's bones representing your real hands can be seen through objects
I think this was at an adult expo so anyone there could try it.
Pre consumer release
>Virtual Reality is everything! Wifu age!
Post consumer release
>Lol, shills. VR is like Wii. It's dumb and pointless
I don't quite get it. As >>339940367 and >>339944620 illustrate, it's actually going the direction we thought it was.
>>339945306
What's not to get?
It was great when nobody owned them.
Now that people have them we know they are shit.
>>339937628
They're not available for in store pickup, which means if they have one in the store, they don't have many. You'll have to get lucky.
>>339945458
I doubt a majority of the people saying it's shit own it or had any intention of buying it at all.
>>339945458
>everybody
Feels more like people who couldn't get one because of the high price point talking shit about it despite never trying it.
But that's just my opinion.
>>339942803
I tried it cos a friend had it. It's trippy dude, it definitely has an effect on your brain and that's just the way it is. Fuck buying the shit, that's stupid, but it does trip you out. Just sayin'
>>339944858
Yeah. I thinking about just driving up to microcenter and picking one up to avoid all this shit.
>>339945575
How can you possibly know that?
>>339946492
I didn't say i know i said i doubt.
>mfw getting PSVR
>mfw no launch or shipping fuckups because Sony
feels good, man
>>339944909
My guess is the hands would collide with the body and not go any further
Unless maybe he goes really further and beyond some point the hands will just teleport to the correct location
>>339946567
And what are you basing that speculation on other than your own bias?
>>339946774
The patrician's choice.
>buying first gen vr
Screen is still shit fampais.
>>339947082

There only arguments agains it are throwing around the words meme and gimmick.
Nothing most of them say would even suggest that they tried it.
>>339947213
indeed.
>>339947412
But it is a gimmick by definition.
>>339947412
I think the problem is /v/ has a very primitive "all or nothing" mindset. If something doesn't work the first time, it will never work. Ever.
That's why these vr threads get so many fuckwits unironically referring to 20 year old technology and that one edited video as 'proof' when there's literal thousands saying it works and is gaining popularity.
>>339948152
All tech is a gimmick.
>>339948389
Name one thing I can do in a VR game which I can't with a conventional display.
Something tangible, don't use a meme word like "immersion".
>>339948507

>Manufacturer(s) can only produce so many within a certain time period
>They got more preorders than they could manufacture in time
How is this so fucking hard to understand? Do you think they're losing out on potential profits on fucking purpose? Fucking use your goddamn brain and realize that shit isn't made immediately.
>>339948605
You can absolutely do that in current video games.
There's this thing called the right analogue stick and it's pretty amazing if you aren't an uncoordinated grandma.
>>339948507
Head turn + Aim at two different targets + pull trigger on both weapons + use a thumb mod button while firing. All at the same time.
Adding head and hands to your input array is game changing.
>people really thinking that VR is a gimmick
They will most likely start selling virtual tickets to things like superbowl. The world is not about vidya.
>>339948792
Sure you can turn your character around but YOU can't look behind you. It makes a very big difference.
Besides, if everything has to have a purpose for being around, why are you on a board about video games? There's no purpose for them either.
The better something is, the more /v/ hates it. Based on this, VR must be awesome.
Imagine VR dating Sims

People can't be bothered to wear some simple passive glasses to watch television in 3D, but they're going to strap electronics onto their face for years and years?
I have my doubts.
just cancel your order, i ordered a vive on thursday and it's being delivered on monday.
I had pre ordered my cuckulus 4 minutes after preorders went up and they were telling me it would ship on march 28th, then changed to mid may leading me to cancel
fuck their jew company at least valve is shipping their shit
Im happy people here are alpha testing the VR systems and funding the developement of games for it, I'll prob enjoy their efforts 5 years down the line with Vive #3 or something.
>>339949958
>Naysayers can scream 'fad' and 'shill' till they're blue in the face. It's here to stay.
>>339951727
Not even remotely the same thing
>>339950569
Okay, let me clear this up.
It wasn't the glasses that bothered people with 3D. It was the material. People have different eye-distance and some movies did a shitty job with the 3D effect that let people disliking it. Add to that, the glasses weren't perfect. They made things darker and sometimes one image would bleed into the other.
VR uses either a split screen or two dedicated to each eye, using the players personal eye-distance. It's perfect 3D. Add the fact that you can look around and wearing a headset seems worth it.
I'm hyped for VR to be mainstream.
>>339951816
>Not even remotely the same thing

Pet sim seems like something that would work well with VR.
I have to say that every naysayer I've talked to IRL that thinks VR is a gimmick has actually never tried room scale VR yet, typically they've only tried Gear VR.
The difference is drastic. They come out of the experience with a huge smile on their face and can't believe that they've been in there for an hour or two.
It's only going to get better from here.
>>339954006
wanna replace your old lightbuld with a 10times more expensive one that lasts about as long?

>>339954494

What. How dumb are you that you cant even read a chart? A 50$ LED lightbulb will save you up to 8$ a year, for 15 to 25 years.

>>339957617

>>339958164
Leap Motion has its fair share of problems. adding it to the headsets would just compound issues
>>339958164
Adding a good quality camera on each headset would raise the price heavily. And it would need good lightning and would probably not work on black skin colors just like the Kinect.
This is pretty much a "worst" kinect on a Oculus.
What if we had an omnidirectional treadmill to increase immersion?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaFdoKv5lus
>>339958563
The whole point is every horror game dev relies on youtubers to sell the game. The horror games for VR have to be sold on the merit of the game because youtube letsplayers wont market the games as effectively.

Dude, I act like that with jump scares too. That's one of the reasons I cant go watch horror movie in the cinema. I jump and move the whole row every time there is a jump scare.
People really act like that, that has nothing to do with overreacting. You see a monster appear behind you, you jump. That's a human reflex. VR is really that good.
>>339958536
It would take too much space for home use.
Better Idea I've seen was a guy suspended in a fixed position, whilst he wore these leg braces that tracked motion and applied upward force when he touched the 'ground'.

Jesus christ anon. Quit being underage.
>>339959283
>You see a monster appear behind you, you jump
Yeah, you jump. You get startled. You don't rip a $600 headset off your face like a bumbling retard.
>>339959376
>for those
What the fuck? You are either a huge hipster, a old man, or too poor to afford one and so have to apple and raisins so hard that it's not even funny.
A cellphone increase productivity for everybody, everywhere. Instead of carrying a MP3, Camera, Phone, Flashlight, Notepad,Calculator, Encyclopedia, and the entire human knowledge, you just carry a light cellphone in a pocket.
Hell, it even replace your keys and credit cards now.
>>339959637
Yes you do. You try to keep it away. And you are stuck to it. It's not like with a PC monitor where you can just cover your eyes or look away. This is everything you see. You are so immerse that your brain start to believe that it's reality.
>>339959283
>>339959283
That's 100% acting, and even poor one at that.
You have to be literally autistic to not get it the moment he rationally goes straight for the glasses.
Those youtube people make a crapload of money thanks to tards like you.
>>339959923
its more akin to overreacting knowingly, someone purposefully suppressing reacting to a scare is similar in trying to change ones natural reaction.
>>339959923
I dont watch let's plays on Youtube. If people get scared in front of a TV monitor, with lights on, with a lighted keyboard and blue LED mouse, then people will get even more scared when the only thing they see is the game world and a 1:1 head to camera.
Here a review of a VR horror game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvvooIcET8k
Is there some exaggeration with some youtubers? Yes. But not everybody overexagerate.
>>339959923
Fuck this.
If you're actually scared that much, you don't instantly recognize that removing the headset will make the bad thing go away.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odax7F3tWhM
Granted, this guy is Russian, but it's still closer to what a genuine reaction like that would be like.
>>339960437
*fucking this
Goddammit
>>339960437
That plays into the natural fear of heights assisted by physically changing persons balance.
That is hardwired to a large part, theres no similar physical element to horror games.
>>339941439
>>339960905
Not bad
I fucking hate the Vive, it was such a fucking stupid move
Nobody wants to spend $800 for more in depth wagglin
What I want one of these headsets for is more immersion in first person games with traditional controls, like how it was originally marketed.. That is it. That is all. I dont want to stand in a little square and waggle around. I would gladly pay around $300 for just the headset for this purpose.
Now valve wants to push the "whole package", which is absolute ass and nobody wants
>>339960905
Oh the irony.
I can't wait for those anime tiddies.
>>339961292
literally everyone says vive is better than oculus
you simply dont know what you want.
>>339961375
Some drawfag plz make a VR version of this, i will ask in a drawfag thread if not.
>>339961397
The headset may be better, but its forever tethered to shitty motion controls
>>339961362
>irony
It's Rift users being mad that Vive gets the better content AND their 'exclusive' games.
>>339961292
Well you better have a strong stomach then, so you don't get sick in the process
>>339961510
>both have the same screen, but not the same lenses, it really makes that much of a difference?
>>339961510
TB said Vive controls are accurate enough to juggle with. Or do you mean oculus.
>>339961467
VR was made for anime titties. I wouldn't have believed if I didn't see it for myself
>>339961510
Not all games have to use them but they're everything that motion controls were supposed to be. Just look at any playthrough of Job Simulator. They're your own two hands, interacting directly with the environment.
>>339961292
Except that the whole package of the Vive is still better than the Oculus at doing what you described.
The tracking is far better with two sensors, and lots of sitting games still support the tracked controllers.
>>339960437
Fear of height and fear of the unknown have different response.
>>339945002
Image quality is only better because they squeeze more pixels into less space. It's a trade off; the vive chose to have greater fov instead.
>>339961292
If you've actually tried VR, you'd realize how much more superior motion controls are. Being able to actually manipulate objects in 3d space is so much more expressive than hitting buttons.
>>339954494
>heating up your house with light bulbs
there is a cheaper and more effective way to do that
>>339937628
Every single marketing poster for the Rift looks like someone playing a dick sucking simulator
Falling in VR is way scarier than I expected.
You can also use the bow and arrow with your hands now
>>339952616
it's a horror game
it's actually very good
>>339962618
Its still energy converted into light + heat, the sales pitch for energy efficient lamps is no heat is wasted, while in reality the heat is actively used.
>>339962767
I crossed my eyes, but the effect is not that great. Maybe it's different with the VR
>>339962873
No. New lamps use less watts because they dont lose 90% of the energy into heat.
That's the speech. Less consumption because heat is not the goal. It's light.
copy pasting from the dead thread since I find the question interesting as a potential buyer:
So does the HTC VR gimmick wear off fast? the games themselves are honestly mediocre as fuck and doesn't seem like anything that would last more than a week of amusement, at most? had it been with a normal controller. Nothing that can really hook you for a long time to make it worth dropping 800 bucks.
It's the VR gimmick itself that hooks you in, but you would get over the awe of it after a week or so? you're not going to be impressed forever like it was the first time putting it on. Idk, man. Hover Junkers seems like the only game that could even keep you around since it's FPS multiplayer, though it seems fairly barebones as a game itself.
>poor!
No matter how much $ you have, why buy something that will be brushed aside in two weeks? having money doesn't give you a free pass to toss it into the toilet, man.
>>339961467
Here you go:^)
>>339963079
Yeah, can't be compared at all
Having a Vive was like playing N64 for the first time. I can't describe it any other way.
>>339940367

Boring.
Where's the furry porn VR?

>>339963746

This exists??
>>339961510
It's the exact other way around. The headsets are extremely similar, but the Vive having motion controls is what blows everyone the fuck away.
>>339965075
Where have you been the last 2 years??

I hope you don't mean Skyrim since that doesn't work in VR. Well, I heard you can do it with Rift somehow, but there's no way to VR Skyrim on HTC Vive
>>339965542
>Autism
>>339964802
What's the fucking point of this? This drawing demo Tilt Brush. This, shitty drawing is nothing compared to the Mona Lisa. Do you guys even know how many Japs are laughing at us? That we can't draw for shit?
>>339965373
Explain. What VR app is that?
>>339965723
Not the guy you are talking with, but I've seen a thread about a guy working on a Vive mod for Skyrim. Seems like he has managed to get archery working at least using the controllers.
>>339965723
You can do with both now, even with opengl based games.
>>339961292
Make rich friends, and try out Call of the Starseed on their Vive. Take a look at your "hands" and tell me you prefer a fucking controller.
>>339965856
It's AR, Google Glass. You can see my Kitchen in the background.
>>339965750
dont worry pajeet, no one is going to tell them.
>>339965917
>You can do with both now,
And how is that done? what software?
Only one I ever heard of was VorpX and that doesn't support Vive
>>339965856
It's the AR headset, the one ms made.
>>339965754
>Do you guys even know how many Japs are laughing at us?
No. How many?
>>339965754
To have fun?
>>339966142
Over 9000!!!!!!!
>>339965885
Got a link? an archery character would be the most ideal thing for Skyrim in VR, honestly.

Vorpx works with vive now
>>339937628
Do yourself a favor and order a Vive, best purchase I ever made.
Besides room scale porn is better then sit down trash.
>>339966291
I saved the webms from g. Some guy spent aroun $3000 for the prototype on the AR headset. If I knew how to locate that thread again I could save and post more webms
>>339966284
>>339966089
What the hell even is VorpX exactly? from what I gather it's a driver that automatically turns non VR games into VR? what manner of sorcery is this shit?
not sure what this thing does exactly

>room filled with vagina holes
OHGOD.
>>339966291
Google glass wasn't really AR. Microsoft's AR headset is called hololens. Its ability to track its own orientation and the space around it seems really impressive, but it has a pretty small FOV that microsoft like to gloss over. Another headset called Meta seems to have a better FOV but less robust tracking.
how far away are we from tron .
>>339953947
go with the sure thing, underage.
I fucking still have my virtual boy and it's nothing like what every retard keeps spouting.
