Jan Backing Track Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Anyone have one of these? Worth it? I see there's one version available now for $200.00, not sure if that doesn't include everything. I tried one few years ago for some zombie game and was screaming my tits off, just wondering if anyone has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I want to get a VR system, but I’m waiting until there is one that clearly outpaces the competition. I don’t want to be stuck with the wrong horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Don't you need a gaming PC as well (if you're not using it with a console like the Sony one)? It's pretty expensive when you factor in the cost of a gaming PC. Half-Life: Alyx is a great reason to get one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally just going to comment about this, I talked to the guy I tried this out at, who's a gamer, he had the HTC Vive and says that's the one to go with, which is $600-$1000 not $200 like the Oculust Riff, and then mentioned you need a good gaming PC for either. Well that sucks. It was the most fun I've had at a game in a while though if you can manage that. Once you're able to walk around smoothly and stuff it'll be insane.

It's always always always a bad idea to be an early adopter of new technology. Look at those dopes who bought 3D TVs in recent years that requrie glasses, what a dumb idea. Prices come down significantly, technology improves quickly. I personally would wait 3-5 years for it to be more perfected + the library of games to improve. I imagine the next wave of consoles will be designed with VR in mind as well, and those will be out fairly soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it'll be 2-3 years still I bet, I wouldn't mind picking up one of the $200 ones and dinking around until then if it worked on just a regular pc/tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prankerd14 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Its $200 but is that basic? And do you have to buy more stuff for it? Like sensors or something around your room? I think it would be alot better to just buy the next one up for $600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like it, was almost cooler watching in 3D at home than in the theater. Sucks they kind of stopped supporting it. Was only a couple hundred bucks extra at the time I bought mine though, so it doesn't irritate me too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a novelty gimmick that entices theatres to make an extra buck, I literally forget about it after the first 2 mins of a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
