Eve Valkyrie being included is a nice bonus but it's not the reason I jumped on this. Fallout 4 VR and Doom VR are my main reasons for jumping on this deal.

I'm sure they'll be mods to make it work.

Honestly I'm getting pretty excited about picking this up tommorow. I loved psvr, can't imagine how this is going to look with a GTX 1080 ti powering it.

I'm tempted with fallout vr, doom and skyrim even Valkyrie
and they got one at the best buy near me for 1 hour pickup

but the sale is for 6 weeks they say, so I think I'll wait a few more weeks and see how it shakes out
rather not have a half ass work a round hack that ZeniMax could still lock it to HTC Vive only somehow

maybe HTC Vive will drop price some to be closer because 800 is more than i'll pay for a toy I may not like or not use much

[Dave]

Personally for the Vive I don't have the room for room scale vr and I think the sensors look tacky, it's not a clean setup

[KAC]

KAC I hate you. Bought the rift + touch + Eve Valkyrie from Best Buy for $399.

Picking it up on Thursday.

I guess this will give my 1080 Ti something to do lol since I've been spending most of my gaming time on the PS4 Pro.

[KAC]

Vive was 699 on Amazon prime deal.

[bill dennison]

I don't really want that either
I could make the room but I want to sit and game not scare the sh*t out of the bloodhound and have the sheltie bark at me the whole time

[Exposed]

I already have a Rift, I wish they had a deal on the touch controllers themselves.

[t0adp1p3]

Third sensor and pcie USB card comes tomorrow. I legit love this thing, so fun.
Think my next purchase is going to be the TM16000m HOTAS and Elite Dangerous.

[Dave]

Got my Rift all setup this afternoon. OMG this thing is so much better than PSVR. The touch controllers are leaps and bounds better than the move controllers on the PSVR. I cant believe how accurate they are. I've already walked into a wall lol Can't wait to move into my new apartment in September, I'll have a whole room I can dedicate to VR. Played some Robo Recall, wow is all I have to say, visually stunning.

[Deimos]

Anyone tried to watch a 360 movie? is it just me or does it suck immensely.

Who's idea was it to make me turn completely around to see everything that is going on? I can't see this being a thing long term unless movie makers do a MUCH better job.

Is it worth getting PSVR after owning a Rift? Mine doesn't come till 25th July.

[Dave]

No way. Psvr has nothing on the rift. The move controllers are so dated and can't do a third of the things the rift touch controllers can. Graphics on the rift with a 1080 ti powering it are leaps and bounds above psvr. Tracking is also immensely better and so accurate on the rift

Yeah, those Move controller are freaking retarded. Tracking is good on my part but not analog thumbstick is really a let down.

Can't wait for the next iteration.

[KAC]

I was talking about the games? Nothing better or exclusive on PSVR worth playing?

[Exposed]

Maybe Resident Evil 7 which is PSVR exclusive for 1 year.

Aim controller is suppose to be a plus for the PSVR, I wouldn't know though, cant find one in stock.

[t0adp1p3]

Picked up a couple more games:

Mages Tale - so far it's been really fun and the new locomotion movement works great.

Arizona Sunshine - the locomotion makes me a bit nauseous after about 30 min. Think I will switch back to teleport.

Also picked up Onward, I think I need to watch a beginners guide. I couldn't figure out how to reload lol.


3rd sensor came today, pain to set up.

[Dave]

I moved my Rift into the living room this evening after walking into a wall in the bedroom

I actually broke out into a sweat playing Robo Recall.

[KAC]

I will need to sit tight since my lounge area has a staircase next to it. Would not like going over a rail.

Shame because room scale VR is amazing.

Was just playing The Climb. Wow! Hopefully you have 9ft ceilings haha, this game has you reaching way above you to grab onto the next ledge. I actually felt weak in the knees from how high up you feel. Awesome game.

Also my cats have taken to attacking the cable.

Did you get a third sensor for room scale? If so, did you have a crazy hard time getting the sensors positioned right?

no thanks I have problems with heights as it is
I have to get out the safety harness for some two story apartments and won't climb a ladder taller than two story


as for room scale VR again nope
I want to sit at my desk only I get more than enough exercise at work

maybe a chair if get it and I like it

No third sensor yet.

[Nagorak]

If you haven't ever played in VR or experienced room scale you probably don't actually know whether you want it or not. Before getting a Vive I also thought the roomscale concept was stupid. After getting it, it was so natural that it almost immediately changed my mind. With VR it really does feel like you're there. So, standing and walking around and interacting with your hands comes very naturally, whereas just sitting ends up feeling kind of weird (with the exception of games where it makes sense like racing sims).

Agreed. I had the same thoughts before getting my rift. Now that I have it, it feels weird to play sitting down

[bill dennison]

well one followed ne home from best buy
the best buy droid tried to tell me the sale was over



thing is nuts to set up I will have to redo it on some things like your zone was running into my desk with my hands

didn't know it came with a xbox controller with the touch

and it is lucky my C6H has all those usb ports on the back

[Exposed]

It seems like every new game requires the Oculous touch now. I held off as long as I could with just my original Rift setup, even the new VR titties uses touch

[bill dennison]

it needs a trackable coffee cup

ordered the Oculus Rift Earphones

[KAC]

Doesn't the headset have built in phones?
How many frickin' accessories do I have to purchase beyond what is in the stupid box.

yes

I just don't like over the ear

[KAC]

My Rift and touch both have shipped. If I am lucky I get them same day around Wed/Thu. Will need to re-do my space on the lounge to make it work. Also lock my kids in a room or my little one is going to destroy it within minutes.

I still don't know which games I want to purchase so ideas on this are welcome. I am thinking for now, Superhot, Climb, and Eagle Flight. Any more worth indulging immediately? I heard it comes with 7 games so that should keep me busy for a bit?

I wouldn't spend money on games until you play the free ones. Superhot is cool though, but short. I was going to get climb, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

I leave it plugged in. Not destroying my USB or HDMI ports by constantly connecting and disconnecting.
