I'd rather put up $500 towards neuroscioence so we could jack into the Matrix sooner, this shit is basically Virtual boy 4.0

People don't know what they're missing but I'll say this , it is annoying to "suit up" before playing vs. just sitting down and playing.

Then again /v/ is full of idiots expecting shit like full body haptic feedback, 32K for each eye @600FPS, infinite threadmill build in into your indoor shoes and all of it costing $100.

Was playing Elite Dangerous last night too. Have the game forever but could never get into it. Tried it again because I have a headset now and played for 2 hours straight. It's like a completely different game.

The hardware is too shitty. I'll buy gen 2 with proper screens and independent positional tracking figured out.

>>388623659
Do you have a stock for your motion controllers, when you need to use rifles?

>>388622579
I dont know which to buy
I want psvr but im not sure about pc compatibility. A rift is ok but facebook. A vive is also a good choice but im not sure the extra cost is justified.

Cost and space. I've stuck by my shitty toaster for about 10 years now and it straight up wouldn't handle VR, so I'd have the cost of updating a PC on top of buying a VR set.

Also I live in a shitty alleyway in a tiny basement apartment, and the idea of hiding underground and literally shutting out reality seems a bit too hermit like.

Except for 1M+ units out, continuous support, set of controllers that doesn't change weekly based on what some Kickstarter startup shits out to get some cash from VR early adopters and more support because even indie PC VR devs realized that making shit for 50K people isn't really profitable, hence shit like Arizona Sunshine coming to PS4, getting extra AIM controller support in the process for example.

This is definitely not the garbage fire I was expecting after the delay. The games made for VR are crazy. The games not made for VR are still impressive. Playing Alien Isolation and Doom 3 was seriously cool. Going through the tech demos was actually incredible. And the porn's okay, too.

Already have a Rift and it's nice to have for games and porn.

Stop pretending to be retarded.
On the of chance you're natural idiot, here's a hint, it's much easier for devs to target same typ of controllers everyone has than make 6+ different control schemes for various versions with various button numbers / layouts, gyros or some experimental shit like gloves with force feedback.
If you're ignorant about the subject you can still google around instead of making yourself look like a retard commenting on things you have no clue about.

This. These giant goggles feel like a early prototype. Sony made some glasses with screens on them back in the '90s and they were the size of sunglasses (don't know the name, but LGR did an episode on them).

My disposable income is super low right now, so I'm just slowly saving up until I can afford both things.

>>388629976
>I'm just slowly saving up until I can afford both things.
Why get both?

If VR some games were made with Live2D it would make the Vive so much more worth it.
Other than that, it feels like you're paying full price for a prototype.

For 3D you need to render the image twice, increasing hardware requirements by a huge margin, so this puts switch hardware our of VR territory already.

>>388625854
>Rift with the Touch controllers are $400
That's not exactly cheap, especially if I need to upgrade my computer to run it. Then you have to factor in the cost of games for VR, including the fact that many of the non-native VR games have to be bought separately to access VR even if you already own the non-VR version.

Personally I'm going to wait a couple of years for the price to go down and the tech to get better, I used a friend's rift lately and it was pretty good but not $400+ good.

Because it's a toy for rich non-gaming trust fund kids and overpaid youtubers. Nothing more, nothing less.

Every "Game" being a glorified tech demo that loses it's wow factor after the first two you try.

Since the "VR Genre" is the following. (I say genre, because VR seems to be crippled with how it's implemented or utilized- Not liberating. So everything falls into a very narrow band of what works/what's safe to make given the audience is much much smaller with the prohibitive price point.)

1: On rails experience/pseudo walking simulator- More than likely a horror or severely retarded down point and click game

2: Teleport around physics sandbox

3: Shoot things simulator


Nothing fresh, innovative or creative has come out of the VR "Scene" since it's inception. There are no real games which you could call an actual "Game" that requires it.

It's not just a gimmick- It's wasted still born potential that wasted it's chance to impress anyone still on the fence about it.

>>388635841
>tempe
ofc

>>388635840
Which is why their is no reason to ever get it when vive is infinitely superior. And even tho psvr is even worse from a technical stand point it has the most/best exclusives so its still a better choice than the rift.

On rails stuff can be a bit boring but some can be pretty good, right now VR is amazing for "Cock-pit" experiences.

>Shoot things simulator
RoboRecall is VR gaming done right, yes, it's an arcade shooter, but damn is it fun.

Yes, there are tons of games like it on the Rift but it's no different than having all the FPS shit on the market, some will do it right, some will suck. VR games are stupid easy to pirate, just do that.

>Physics sandbox

Physics sandboxes are fun, but I can see why you don't like them. They're not too enticing to me either

There are other types of games.

Rhythm games like Audioshield and Airtone are fantastic.
Puzzle games work really well too.
Not to mention watching videos and browsing can be enjoyable too. Yes, fully aware you can just go on your computer, but still.

and the obvious
Porn
Lots of it.
Waifus
First person porn videos - they even have some that sync to some sex toys.
Furry shit if you like that.

Though I will agree with you that there still isn't that BIG thing that will get people to go grab a VR headset. But there is plenty for early adopters.

and hell if you regret your purchase you can sell it to someone who is just as interested.

>>388636475

Not an argument.

Owned it, played it and later sold it.


It's a completely wasted technology that has had just shy of 2 years to produce something mind blowing or hype building and has yet to provide a single compelling example.

On top of that- There's no real incentive for developers as valve is holding tight to their jewbux and hoping people keep buying their hardware and getting a cut of their 15-30 dollar tech demos.

Why would you make a VR only title of any effort, dev time and merit that only has a POTENTIAL buyer pool of 500,000+ users?

>>388636779

That still all falls into the complaints though.

I don't want it to "fail" but it basically has since it's just "The headset for youtube bait games and porn" no matter the brand or platform.

i almost bought an oculus during their sale, but then i realized i'd just be buying yet another expensive peripheral that's only good in half a dozen games, which sits around collecting dust because i never feel like setting it up

>What's holding you back?
Funny you should ask, I was just thinking about this the other day. I've always dreamed of quality VR, so the desire is definitely there. There are two problems, one is the fairly steep price point. The other and primary problem is that I'm concerned that the technology just isn't quite there yet. I want something immersive, and I'm afraid that current VR is still not as immersive as I always wanted. I want to explore the surface of mars in VR. I want to travel to the bottom of the ocean. I want to wander through the island of MYST and really feel like I'm there. I want to have wild orgies with dozens and dozens of elf women in the forests of Middle Earth. MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE AND THEN I'LL DISH OUT THE MONEY.

we need vr headsets to work without needing a monitor first

because really having a vr headset as opposed to a monitor can make people actually consider buying one

>>388638743
StarVR looked promising but was bulky as hell. Ultimately nothing showed up that was good enough for me so here I am waiting for gen2. It should hit my requirements exactly: comfortable and small enough to keep on my desk, enough resolution for a usable virtual desktop, and eye tracking. wireless is a bonus.

Absolutely garbage hand tracking

I bought a Vive the day it was releaed (didn't pre-order, my friend did and as soon as I tried his on I literally went to HTC's website and bought one) and honestly it's been sitting in the box under my PC for the past 6 months.

I LOVE the thing, but there are so few games I want to pull the headset out for. I hate that I have to be excited for something like Fallout 4 VR, when Fallout 4 was already a garbage game, just because it will actually be a full-on VIDEO GAME in VR, as opposed to a fucking tech demo or shooting gallery.

i got a shitty google glass headset for xmas a few years ago when VR was the newest meme

i still use it to masturbate, but it's just so much work. it's pretty un-arousing getting it all set up. and then if you need to lube up your cock again halfway you have to remove this chunky headset and kill the immersion

The Switch can barely run it's own games without massive issues. How the fuck is it going to run anything in VR?

There are dozens of face-screens, and they're all smaller and lighter than VR HMDs because they don't need any of the thick lenses or motion sensors that an HMD uses to make something look immersive and real.
Note also that a face-screen can be used without glasses, while an HMD replicates real vision so well that an eyeglass wearer still needs his glasses.

There's been some recent innovation with using projector chips instead of phone screens though, looking forward to seeing how that can improve VR.

I got a Vive a few weeks ago. A little mad that I didn't get it after I was discounted but whatever. The thing is fun and cool as fuck.

Yeah adding VR to the game really makes it immersive.

Too expensive. 1362 dollars in my country.

which vr headset is worth its money right now? There seems to be equal shilling for vive and occulus.
Is buying a used one viable or should i just wait for the next generation?
