Oculus Rift - Page 13

Cyberbob · 15th April 2016, 10:29

I'm more tempted by the HTC Vive. Anyone tried?

pxpx · 15th April 2016, 12:43

A few reviews I've read have suggested that the vive is more capable, but is uncomfortable to wear.

Yeah that's what I've been reading too. The display quality is about the same.

I wonder if reviews will change once Oculus gets the hand controllers out, which I do find strange how they are still not out yet, given a recent facebook VR demo I saw with them in use. Hopefully they won't be too far off.

LFC · 19th April 2016, 15:07

I think the question everyone wants answered is, which is the best VR solution for porn?

Caesar · 29th April 2016, 18:56

If you're a current or about to be a Rift owner you might want to make yourself aware (if not already) of this piece of software.

Adds VR support for many games that don't have it.

Review here.

I'll be getting it once my Rift turns up.

[BT]Monza · 4th May 2016, 17:25

Two friends in NZ got their Rift today...

Caesar · 4th May 2016, 18:34

Really? thats good to hear. Do you know when they initially pre-ordered?

See people are up in arms (as they should be) because Oculus's are turning up on computer bundles from Amazon and about to be sold on Best Buy today before pre-order's are being fulfilled.
I still gotter wait till end of June /July before mine comes.

A mate at work has now ordered a Vive as well and if that turns up first will cancel his Occ pre-order.

Have to admit their doing a pretty piss poor fucken job of deploying these things considering how long its been in development and how much time they've had to prepare.

[BT]Monza · 5th May 2016, 09:21

yeah, they ordered within the first few mins of the launch but didn't have the credit card issues that a lot of people did, myself included.

My estimated date is still late May/ early June but not that fussed about the wait, the free (expensive) shipping took some of the sting out of it.

Another mate got a Vive yesterday too, keen to compare them back to back.

Madman · 21st May 2016, 23:55

Cancelled my pre-order, ordered a Vive instead. My estimated shipping date was late August, even though I ordered on T+12hrs, sod that

Evil* · 23rd May 2016, 00:53

Vive arrived 2 weeks ago, but first decent chance to use it this weekend. Impressed so far, totally immersive experience (accurate and fluid tracking is some witchcraft) Motion tracked controllers transform it from just being a different way to see a game into something wholly new.
Needs some long form content - nearly all so far has amazed but seemed like very polished 30mins - 2hour demos. Could probably lose weeks to Tilt Brush. For my 2 cents this needs a) someone to create a long form game with narrative/storyas well as using the tech and b) finds a solution to walking in-game that doesn't require teleporting.

Jodi · 23rd May 2016, 09:13

You wont get rid of tele-porting until you can either have 3d treadmills, or play in a huge warehouse.

Also, stairs are a problem. Tada, you're all training to be daleks.

[BT]Monza · 26th May 2016, 09:30

Just got my email saying that it has shipped...

Caesar · 26th May 2016, 18:36

Was your one in the group that was delayed because of a component shortage?
If so what was your initial date of delivery, and what was the new date?

Mine should have been shipping about now before the shortage, now its end of June.. early July.

[BT]Monza · 27th May 2016, 09:53

yeah, I ordered about 20 mins after the big launch as the website was having issues accepting my credit card (it seemed to be a common issue).

The initial shipping date advised was April, then component shortage which resulted in free shipping but new date of late March to early June.

My order number was a 322xxx....

[BT]Monza · 27th May 2016, 10:02

Just got my Fedex shipping number, big red bar doesn't look good...

[BT]Monza · 27th May 2016, 12:34

Fedex now updated saying should be delivered next Wednesday...

[BT]Monza · 31st May 2016, 09:23

So 20mins before I get home my IP camera sends me this;

Filled in the card, should be delivered again tomorrow...

Caesar · 31st May 2016, 19:01

My work colleague got his delivered today as well.

Bummer, bet the courier guys have fired it up playing virtua postman. Very jelly, would love to give Vive/Oculus a go.

[BT]Monza · 1st June 2016, 10:04

Strapped it on around 6pm and then suddenly it was 1am....

Caesar · 8th June 2016, 18:18

My rift is stuck at customs in Auckland
Currently.... Clearance delay - Import Goods are subject to regulatory review.

My work colleagues one didn't have to do that. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Caesar · 10th June 2016, 19:25

It arrived yesterday.

junbeck · 11th June 2016, 18:38

And has it delivered everything above and beyond or is there the buyers regret?

Caesar · 11th June 2016, 23:50

No definitly not buyers regret.
It's not 100% what I was thinking after seeing so many people freaking out on youtube etc.
No motion sickness playing intense titles like Eve: Valkyrie, but I could feel it messing with my head a bit. Have had a bit of eye strain tho.

What I'm pissed off about is that there are games available that I already own, but I have to pay again to get the VR edition.

Ab · 23rd September 2016, 19:26

Palmer Luckey, ladies and gentlemen

Oculus fans: nice to know where your money is going.

StN · 23rd September 2016, 20:35

I regret nothing! much...

Fuck - I only just got the bloody DK2 running again last night.

[Malks] Pixie · 24th September 2016, 08:44

Got my pop-corn and am watching the same people who argued for a "consumer revolt" and targeted product boycotts now trying to argue that a purchase doesn't equal an endorsement (and the whine of "separate the artist from the art"). Hilarious.

Jodi · 26th September 2016, 08:30

I flip flop from "people are allowed to have their personal opinions, shouldn't affect their work" (eg Palmer, Orson Scott Card, Scott Adams), to "It's fucks like you who vote in Hitler, burn everything you've touched".

Charismo' · 5th October 2016, 10:28

I got the Vive, I don't find it uncomfortable to wear, and it's amazing. call of the starseed blew my mind!

Charismo' · 5th October 2016, 10:29

hey Monza, how often do you get false positives on your camera? like cats etc?

Caesar · 7th October 2016, 18:00

Oculus Touch release date Dec 6th.
199USD apparently.
Pre-order from the 10th Oct.

http://uploadvr.com/oculus-touch-price-release-date/

Lightspeed · 11th November 2016, 01:00

I really want this:

Red Alert 2 remake for VR

Caesar · 7th December 2016, 18:38

Anyone ordered the Oculus Touch?
I should have my by next week, looking forward to it.

Lightspeed · 7th December 2016, 18:50

If anyone wants to buy me something for Christmas, a Rift+Touch combo would do it. Hahaha.

[BT]Monza · 8th December 2016, 09:25

Just got my shipping email, should arrive 13th.

[BT]Monza · 8th December 2016, 09:27

Since you kindly lent me your Rift DK1 back in the day I can offer to lend you my Rift+Touch sometime in the new year?

Caesar · 8th December 2016, 22:46

Mine turned up today, only 4 days shipping time.

Oh true. Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

Caesar · 9th December 2016, 00:46

Those initial Vive specific demos you can now play fine with Touch. the Lab is very cool and Budget Cuts.
