>peripheral mainly aimed towards first person titles
>controller (worst possible input device for first person titles) shipped with it

Could someone explain what their reasoning behind this is?
Do they assume that people are too retarded to use keyboard and mouse without looking at them?

>>323159358

Honestly, I am going to wait it out a bit. I'll see the first reactions to it, then decide to buy it or not the following month. Getting dibs first on new tech is exciting, but there's always the inevitable price drop after a year.

So it's either jump on board or wait it out for the long haul. Middle of the road people get screwed over the most.

I shouldn't have bought an Xbone controller.... I regret it. I don't even know what I would do with two xbone controllers.

>typing without looking at the keys

I doubt you have any work experience, underage.
Unless you think working at MCDonalds counts as a job.

The oculus touch controllers are still in development and you will have to by them later on in the year.

What's that long thing?

Microsoft needed to get of all their extra PC controllers one way or another. So they made a deal with facebook to include their controller. Which then in turn lets facebook add on another 100 bucks to your already overpriced bundle.

some games let you activate things by holding your vision on them for a second or so.
i tried both ways, and i'm not a fan of the controller as turning left/right with it made me want to puke after a few minutes.
glove controllers would be max comfy

That's the best price, why don't we average them all?

Europe is $800+ (US dollars)

and I thnk other regions are even worse

$599 sounds ridiculous but it's actually more than that in the vast majority of the world

i think it's a camera to track head movements, don't quote me on that though

>>323160346
Tracking camera for picking up the leds on the headset.

>>323160324
>>323160363
That still dosn't explain why they ship a controller.

I think KB+M would only really be good for FPS. Even FP walking simulators don't really need a mouse because you look with your head and KB+M is actually pretty bad for driving games which would be a pretty big thing in VR.
It also means most VR games won't need a peripheral you have to buy seperately.

I would if I was interested in developing a VR game. As a consumer/hobbyist no
