Oculus rift 599$

>HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Are we ignoring that the PS3 turned out to be the best console of its generation? Or are we gonna take liberties with history for a bit of shitposting?

Don't forget: PS3 came out in 2006 and it only became good 3,5 years later, after numerous price cuts.
Before that the only games you could buy was ridge racer and giant enemy crab.

Where did I imply that? All I said was that it wasn't the "best" console. It had so many fucking problems, just like the 360 and Wii did. 7th gen was fucking garbage.

Too expensive for my tastes. I'll wait to see if it takes off and there's a price drop or model 2, just like any other sensible person would.

Don't forget the ~$400 dollar graphics card, too. And that's minimum, realistically you're talking $600ish for the graphics card and another $600 for the headset.

Rift is not a console. It's a $600 piece of headgear that requires you to have an at least $800 PC for it to even run properly. This shit is gonna flop for YEARS. If it ever takes off at all considering phone apps are being made as we speak that, when combined with a piece of cardboard, turn your phone into a 3D headset.

>>322984454
If the PS VR is 399 then I'm getting it instead of the oculus. 600 bucks is just too much man.

>>322989610
Jesus Christ Australia what happened to your currency?

>>322989974

Is the PS VR a standalone product or a peripheral for the PS4? If it's the latter I'd anticipate them selling it for less than the price of the console since as it is they already get most of their profit from game sales and PS+

the only part that is shitty about the spec is the need for a 970 or greater.

but i don't see people actually buying a PC with a 970+ GPU just for this.

Sony has the right idea adding VR to the PS4.

>>322990606

That's still $200 cheaper than a Rift.

Oculus is just going to end up being a niche technology for people who are permavirgin who own PCs with 970 or greater GPUs wanting to fap.

You might be confusing about what Oculus themselves distribute on their digital store front. Porn is already on the Oculus though.

>>322987016
>>322987839
>>322989969

There will be VR exclusive games though right? So as time goes on, the tech becomes cheaper and the incentive to get one increases. I don't think a high price point is going to kill Oculus or VR in general. It will just prevent it from becoming mainstream for a while.

>>322991570
Uh, there are already people playing porn games with oculus dev kits.

It's not up to them. All they said is they won't be on the Oculus Rift store.

>>322991743
I mean they're already sold through June so I'd say that regardless of whatever people's problems were with the price people are still buying the thing.

After shipping, customs, taxes and currency conversion, it's over $1000 CAD for the rift alone.

A gpu + cpu + motherboard that can play stuff at recommended specs is easily another $1200CAD if not more.

>>322991709
You mis-read. It'll be on TOP of the price of the external processing unit. PSVR itself will cost like $300-$500, then you'll also have to buy the processing unit that'll be another $300-$500.

VR doesn't work if the games are running at 10-30fps. They need at LEAST solid 60.

>>322984139
dont forget, the cheaper ps3 had removed hardware ie less usb ports, they removed ps2 backwards play so they could sell it to you later even though hackers put it back in with the emulation, they took out linux and other features

It'll be expensive though. Headset + Move + PS Eye + External Processing Unit. Probably will cost at least as much as the Oculus.

Unit is part of the package because it's useless without the headset. And it won't cost more than a PS4 did at launch. Why? Because Sony isn't fucking stupid. No one will buy a $600 peripheral. So it'll be $400. Especially if the processing unit is just a slimmed down PS4. Like a PS4 without the 500GB HDD, bluray drive, and a minimized shell with a built in PS Move camera. We already know that the PSVR head tracking is done via the lights on the headset. So it won't even have the complicated shit the Rift uses for head tracking. It'll just be a 1080p phone screen with lights on the shell and audio capabilities.

>>322993337
If it's $400 it's going to be shit. End of story. You aren't getting an external processing unit AND a VR headset for under $500 unless it's complete garbage.

Just like the PS4, it's cheap but shit. The only difference here is that the PSVR won't have any exclusives to save it, because all the cool exclusives will be on PC along with the exclusive porn.

Don't forget, for a standard consumer they'll have to upgrade their pc if they want high quality graphics/resolution, which is around 900.

Total price comes to 1400, not to mention it doesn't come with the touch. The vive will at least come with something similar to the touch.

At this point the only hope for consumer VR is sony's VR thing (most standard/casual games already own a ps4), and the vive.

Don't underestimate Facebook and Oculus. They're building a platform that they want to dominate in many fields. They have a huge head start over everyone thanks to their deep pockets and their partnership with the biggest consumer electronics brand in the world, Samsung. Right now the only company that can compete toe to toe with them is Microsoft and maybe Apple although they're very behind.

$599, which instantly translates into six hundred and some change for tax and content.


Way off from the original price point. About 4 years for real price? Will it survive that long? Is there enough Porn?

>>322989969
This desu
It's ushering in the golden age of VR, but the Rift itself will never really succeed. It's too expensive for casuals and the Vive is stealing the hardcore market.

>>322994112
Gear VR and all the integration with Galaxy smartphones is designed by Oculus. The difference is that it's using Samsung's phone and the unit itself is manufactured by them.

>>322991852
the price point will hurt oculus but won't kill them ,that is taking it too far in my opinion and yes there is exclusive "content"(that eve game and some tech demo thing) but the price point is just too much to for the mainstream consumer too ignore and for the enthusiast it seems like a ridiculous price for something that will be outdated in literally 6 or less months .

It just does not seem like a good investment

and yes I am aware everything becomes outdated within 24 months but this is different , this is trying to open up a market at a dumb price point which will turn off the people facebook cares about , the mainstream consumers.

>>322994045
But Sony is competing with them, and HTC/Valve teamed up to compete with them too. You're saying that the only thing that can happen doesn't include things already happening.

>>322994165
i love fapping too much and i'm too scared to die

>>322993525

Obviously Sony will be subsidising the cost.

Oculus are only able to sell at cost.

>>322989969
Rift is in an awkward "too expensive for mainstream and too inferior to more hardcore alternatives" spot right now, literally the only thing keeping it afloat is decent PR but if Vive shows up with an aggressive price then it's pretty much the end.

>>322993525

>AND a VR headset for under $500 unless it's complete garbage

A large portion of a VR headsets cost is probably the head tracking tech. The screen is just a partitioned cell phone screen. Guess what? The PSVR gets around that cost by using the PS Move camera. Sony stated this from the beginning. It uses light bars on the headset to judge where the headset is and where it is looking. So most of the cost will go into the external assist to make sure it reads those lights as fast as fucking possible while adding power to the PS4.

Imagine a minimized PS4 that has none of the PSN bullshit or RAM partitions or any of that crap. Every ounce of it dedicated to assisting the PS4 with 60fps VR. It's easily possible and a PS4 is already only $350. Now take the 500GB HDD and bluray drive out. Add a Move camera. I'd guess that'd be about a $250 thing. Now add a $150 headset that's a phone screen with lights on it. Boom. $400.

>because all the cool exclusives will be on PC

If you think enough people are going to buy a $600 Rift to make VR-only games feasible, then you are on some powerful drugs. All you guys will get is VR ports of old shit.

Facebook has the connections. It's a giant in the technology space. Sony is just another struggling Japanese company that is restructuring from consumer electronics to semiconductor manufacturing. They hold no power. They'll never be able to compete with any of the major silicon valley companies when it comes to designing experiences and software for the industry, for homes and mobile. Samsung, Facebook and Oculus have such a huge fucking edge over HTC and Sony when it comes to engineering, resources and overall importance in technology.

Oh fuck me...

>>322995192
Facebook doesn't have any connections, it's literally a meme company that made big bucks selling normies' data.
They have no experience with hardware and obviously didn't care enough about Rift to at least subsidize the price a bit.

>>322995192

What you appear to be trying to say is that Facebook will inevitably win the VR wars because their great size gives them greater wherewithal. But what you're actually saying is that shit observably happening is impossible.

>>322995371

>>322995387
Also I should point out Oculus made some horrible, amateurish decisions in their hardware like custom-designing hundreds of parts which require several different factories to produce and even researched their own kind of cloth for the straps.
This is well beyond the diminishing returns critical point and they got fucked by the price of all this.

I bet it's really cool cloth though, right?

>>322995657
It's being sold at cost though, so research isn't a factor.

Why are you all worried? just don't buy it NOW. Wait for the inevitable price drop. And better updated version of the thing. It always happens with consoles too.

>>322995462
I'm saying that Sony isn't competing with Oculus. They're competing against themself.

Sony is a company that fights itself. Sony is a company that pits it's own divisions against each other. Sony is a company in transition from consumer electronics to semiconductor manufacturer meaning it's creating a greater dependency on other companies to succeed rather than itself because they lack the resources to make products now. Sony of 1996 is not the Sony of 2004+.

Cost?

As in to recoup the 2 billion dollars spent to acquire the company?

No, that's not a cost. It didn't have to be like this.

>>322996127
Custom-ordering parts is still far more expensive than repurposing readily available parts like HTC is reportedly doing.
And HTC is a company from the world capital of slave labor and they have a lot of experience designing phones which share a lot of tech with VR, I will be very surprised if Vive is costs more than a Rift + touch controllers.

>>322996764
Yeah, obviously Oculus is making some stupid decisions, and the Vive is making better ones, apart from the name, but the fabric probably doesn't cost that much to produce either and comfort is something that actually matters on the headset.

>>322995549
Another blind without glasses anon here, what are htc putting in vive so I can actually use it?

>>322997017
The whole face area is modular, so you just swap out the padding, allowing there to be enough room for your glasses in front of your face, and leave the padding out in places where it would squash your glasses into you uncomfortably. You might be able to jury right the Oculus this way too, but the HTC guys have specifically cited this as a feature, and Palmer hasn't.

I don't get why it's so expensive, as a standalone company I would understand the price but Facebook bought them, how can Facebook think it's okay for them as big as they are to charge so much for this product?

>>322998084
You can use the final rift to dev, but they will probably make a new devkit after they're done with the hubbub of the consumer launch.

>>322997707
I doubt FB even cares about Oculus right now, it was a strategic acquisition just in case VR takes off, if it does they can start porting Farmville for the normies and rake in the profits, if it doesn't they can just leave it dead in a ditch and pretend it never existed.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I was thinking too.

This is good news for Sony though, if they can make it cheaper and put at least 3 or 4 games to go along with it, they'll win over most people.

Occulus Rift fucked up with the branding with CV1. PC Rift don't need to be mass marketable, that's fine because you can make money on luxury . The Rift target should be with developers, enterprises, public sectors, Ethutasist, and shit.

You think consumer device, you think GearVR, PSVR, Kinect for Xbox, Cardboard. They price, marketed, and brand for consumers first. Hololens is worse, it's priced at 3,000 fucking dollars. No joke.Pic Related.

Hololens still won't fail because it's not targeting consumers, but enterprises/developers instead.

Not him but most people who can afford a $300 headset can afford a $600 headset, that doesn't mean they should be expected to still want it even when they know the price was just doubled out of nowhere for the express purpose of making it more of a status symbol. They have made no hardware changes in the past year. The only possible reason they could've set the price so high is because they know anyone who wants to buy it is going to no matter what.

They didn't just announce the price out of nowhere. They just doubled it out of nowhere. We knew up until now it was gonna be around $300. We're pissed that we have to pay twice the price we were originally going to just because Fuckerberg knows we will anyway.

>>323003472
If you can spend three hundred fucking dollars on luxuries like a VR headset, that's clearly not going to be the extent of your spending abilities.

Ah I wasn't aware of that. Well in that case, it seems pretty strange. However I have to wonder if it still isn't a fair price. Wasn't the oculus Originally just a dev kit?

And the new price tag is something they can actually profit from

The original dev kits were sold at a loss using B grade cellphone parts. The DK2 literally had Galaxy Note 3 display assembly (digitizer and all) as the display unit.

CV1 has custom everything and sold at cost.

The profit comes later.

This also means expect $1K Vive since HTC is one bad quarter from getting liquidated by its investors.

>>323007118
It also doesn't include yaw pedals, which are another $150 at the cheapest. Then if you're into racing sims too, force feedback steering wheels are $250 minimum

The Vive is not going to be more than Rift I suspect.

People throwing around $800-$1000 are fucking retarded, $600 for Rift has already turned off 95% of hardcore gamers who were looking forward to it, is the Vive supposed to only be sold to those who are a chairman of a fortune 50 company?

Vive is made from cheaper, off the shelf parts than the rift, what made Vive the "premium" product was it had features DK2 didn't have, but the CV1 does.

The CV1 is massively over-engineered and Facebook panicked and pulled subsidizing the thing over how much cash was being sunk into R&D (Listen to Oculus faggot say "we had unlimited money!!!")

599 is the absolute limit the market will bear. The Vive was always estimated to come in at around 499 range and that is where I suspect it will be around.

Reminder that the Vive uses CHEAPER parts and technology than the oculus, but uses CHEAPER technology in a SMARTER way, for example lighthouse is a fraction of the cost of the Rifts cameras.

>>323007191
The one name dropping their SINGLE graphics card that'll be outdated when Pascal comes out this year is probably the poorfag

>>323007260
yeah, top of the line sim setup is well over $900 for a top of the line setup, which is what i assume that the rift is meant to be, the top of the line replacement to the trackir

>>323007383
It might be 700-800 considering Vive will come with proprietary controller while OR came with a shitty Xbone controller

>>323007118
And they can afford to pay $400 for that thing because they don't quite have to shell out $600 for OR. Not to mention, those that already paid for all that shit have no real money left for VR.

Justifying the price of OR by the price of other components is retarded. It should only be slightly expensive than a decent monitor, because that's essentially what it is, except it's way less versatile than one. And that certainly is what most people were expecting to pay for it, and that's also pretty much how Facebook said it would be priced.

>>323007383
CV1 doesn't have front mounted cameras and two motion controllers.

>>323007489
No one except ultra richfag enthusiasts is going to pay $700-$800 for VR.

As I have said $599 is the absolute limit the market can bare, you are here to sell millions of devices, not sell 5.

Vive will be in the $500 range. It doesn't have the trillion custom built parts and magic fabric shit Oculus has.

>>322983176
man having used DK 2 a few times there's no way that I'd pay Meme tier prices for that headset.

>>323007648
having used freetrack and factracknoir, the tracking quality is nowhere near what the trackir is, they mostly have problems with jerky movement and tracking when looking at extreme angles.

>>323002685
This. Oculus is name brand, Facebook is name brand.

Ask a normal, which they want. The "Oculus" by "Facebook" or "Vive" by "HTC/Valve".

They won't have any idea what Valve even is, and if they know who HTC are they'll just see them as bad phone makers. Facebook on the other hand "Oh that is where I get all my hot memes XD"

>>323007674
Not for what people want VR to be.

>>323007741
and nobody bought it
thus it flopped

>>323007802
In NoIR, sure, it needs some ideal situations, lighting and all that jazz.

FreeTrack is fucking flawless once configured properly.

>>323007828
HTC is a name brand. Their phones are obscenely popular.
Ask a normal person, do they want a hardware made by a social networking website OR a hardware by a hardware company?

>>323009050
PC games won't do it either, just look at all the games where VR is present. All cockpit shit where you just sit still and drive/fly around or indie crap that will actually run on PS4. The literal best use of VR has been Valve games and Receiver. Detached hands is the way to go but fucking shipping it with a god damn controller is not.

>finally learning their place.

As in paying a little more for actual functional VR games because they didnt have to cut the scope/graphics of games by 4-8 times to reach a framerate that isnt nauseating?

>>322987858
Im fixing to go buy one right now with new retro arcade

Its only a matter of time before something ike this gets released with multiplayer and you can visit an arcade in virtual reality with your friends despite them being as far as the other side of the world

>>323009492
It doesnt do SLI but it sure as hell runs better than it does on my friends xbone, and cost a third of the price

What, you think its worth having a shitty console because you cant wait 2 months for a shitty game to get patched?

>>323009709
>actual functional VR games

PCcuck here. Have fun with your shitty ass indie games and added VR support for 4 year old games.

Nobody is going to develop for this thing. There's no money to be made in such a niche market.

>$599 a big deal
You all realize there are other gaming displays out there for $700, $900, fuck even $1300 right? My gripe isn't the price, I'd just rather not pay to get a fucking controller and two games I'll never use.

I'm honestly debating between the Vive or the Rift. Technology wise the Vive actually seems to be the better of the first consumer gen. I dunno, I'm excited but also undecided if it's worth early adopting into consumer VR, I already have a devkit 2 for muh VR pron.

It drops down to slowmo, 15 fps, on my friends xbone and mine absolutely never goes below 30 even with AA on

Maybe try something for yourself instead of just believing everything you read, dumbfuck

>>322990996

Everything you said is correct. Porn or not. The 970 or greater requirement already had this as a failure. The price point just sealed the deal. Only idiots don't see this.

These same type of people argued 3D TV's were the future as well.

>>323010501
>all these assumptions when you don't know shit

Bahahaha I've played it on my cousin's PS4 for at least 4 hours and it ran perfectly fine with very little slowdowns. Maybe once in the entire time.

Meanwhile I've never seen anybody play it on PC and even have it run above 30fps 99% of the time, myself included. Nice lie though.

>Maybe try something for yourself instead of just believing everything you read, dumbfuck

Why should I believe you then?
