Redpill me on the Vive/Oculus. Do you own one? Do you know anyone who does? What do you use it for and what is it good for? Is it worth $1000?

Also VR general or something if you want.

It would be easier to send donations to bankers or EA or something, same effect except you don't end up with plastic garbage in your house.

As a person with enough income to spend on it, I don't regret it. There are some pretty fun games (Metroid Prime with dolphin vr is 10/10), and porn is really cool too.

I own the oculus and like that, hadn't tried the vive enough, and don't have experience with uses of it outside games (but I am doing some project using it, which is pretty cool).

There is also the open source vr movement, if that's important to you.

Do you not notice the flickering because your brain is too slow to begin with? Or you trained yourself to deal with it?

Flickering is not a big deal. You cannot see it. Have used DK2 and CV1.

What is a big issue still is screen door effect; visible pixels. Screen door is still preventing me from buying. Can confirm that CV1 is pretty good though. I sat in the demo area just looking at it for about 20 minutes to chill out one time.

Once density is improved such that you can't tell, I'd probably buy one. Sony already has 4K mobile screens, so sooner than later.

Also a concern is that formal game support is low. They've zeroed in on a unified API for VR which is good so I hope this improves. Community hacking has positive results though.

Yes, vive.
Half-assed vidya.
Not really. The hardware is still pretty overpriced and the software situation is downright shit so far. Expect paid exclusives, early access and $30 for an few hours of baby's first unity project.

Once there's non-shit software, there might very well be much better HMDs available for less.

If I was to buy a VR Headset I would cheap out with a OSVR and get 2 Wiimotes to do the job for motion controls.

well yeah but one guy's endorsement doesn't mean much if the platform will still be locked and cuc|

Excuse me, what the fuck?

VR is for pedos, especially Oculus, no thanks and please fuck off with that pedo shit.

where do you think you are?

Facebook owns Oculus. That's all you really should need to know to avoid. Vive is bretty gud but way overpriced for the current available software. I'd wait and see if better hacks for PSVR come out, half the price. I heard they already got it working okayish with Steam.

Actually, he raises a good point. If Oculus was any good, pajeet wouldn't have gone looking for irl 3D.

by that logic loli hentai would be okay. Are you some kind of deviated prevert?

I'll have you know I am approximately four standard deviates from the norm!
But really, not getting VR because muh pedos is retarded. I imagine some use the internet and highways too, should everyone else stop using them? I'm waiting to see what Magic Leap is coming out with, could be interesting or just vaporware but by then prices should have come down and hopefully more software will be available.

some criminals use guns, should everybody stop using them?

I see it and it hurts, the only thing I want to do is to stop it, and in this case it means get the fucking HMD off my head.

If it was possible to deny using guns for everyone, including terrorists, police, NSA, FBI, ФСБ, even the sky, even the Allah, then it would be bretty good thing.
But we know it's physically impossible, so no, not at all.

Brought a DK2, used it for like 10 minutes then put it back in box and never used again.

Basically all the issues that said.

Kill yourself

Unless you're planning to play racing simulators, wait until gen2 or gen3. By then there should be decent normal vidya, and it should cost reasonably.

edgy

Why do people keep dropping hundreds of dollars to be guinea pigs for a product that is not yet ready for practical use? Screens aren't good nor cost effective enough yet, sensors aren't good or cost effective enough yet, games made for VR (and not just letting VR control mouse look) aren't good yet. Why? Why do you fags keep doing it?

No, do what that guy did and strap a CRT to your face.

its the future of video games.

its also going to be irrelevant due to the livestock entertaining themselves on phone games these days

are you rich?

don't get one

do you have a powerful PC?

don't get it

do you play first person racing/flying games that support VR?

don't get it

are you prone to motion sickness?

don't get it

do you care about resolution?

don't get it

get it.

Nope
There is no future of video games

I don't care if Carmack joined. I'm just glad he's getting paid atleast and hope he bleeds them dry making whatever the hell he's up in the process. In any case, Oculus is FB hardware. They already shamelessly admitted it's infected with botnet of absolutely epic proportions. It's your choice whether to care about that or not. If you really are interested in VR, Vive and PS VR should be the way to go.
