Which is better for VR Yea Forums? Oculus or Vive?

If you have the patience, wait until a gen 2 steamvr headset comes out. Eye tracking is gonna squeeze some extra juice out of your card and get some better visuals.

>better big glasses
And by big, he means BIG. I don't have slim glasses and I use a Rift without issue.
But glasses are annoying, I have prescription lens inserts. Paid way too much for them at $80 though.

>only noticable in a single game, beat saber, when playing at very high speeds.
Bollocks. You notice slight controller snapping when moving around a 2 or 3 sensor 360 setup on a Rift in the case where one sensor loses active tracking of a controller despite another one being able to see it at that current time.

>Lighter and more comfy to wear
They weigh the same.

No, I don't.

Honestly anyone with patience should just wait for full dive VR :^)

I made that post and I'd used both headsets before I bought one. My glasses fit in my Rift but I do wish I had perscription lens inserts
I'm waiting for gen2 rather than buy those though
The Rift controllers have a lower max tracking speed than the Vive ones, and they have a weird problem where if you swing too hard the spiring holding the battery in compresses and your controller loses power.
If you play Climbey you will never be able to jump as far as a Vive player using the Rift
The way the weight is distributed or whatever the Rift felt more comfortable to me. The Vive is super comfy with the deluxe audio strap though, which costs like $100 or osmething?

with the vive you can slide it out away from your face. same with psvr.

You can with the rift too, thats how i take it off, pull it forward then lift it off my head

Why do you fags thing we want to see you sat there waggling when you post vr videos?

Stop saying "comfy", you sound like a gaylord.

It's actually less comfortable with the strap. I have one and ever since I installed it no matter how it's adjusted I feel like my head's been in a vice after a half hour if I'm not jumping around constantly. I keep it on for the convenience of the headphones and guilt over sinking $100 into HTC's overpriced aftermarket shit.

You're tightening it too much idiot, and how is "comfy" not a word to use when talking about how fucking comfortable something is?
Is that word just verboten now because people keep calling games "comfy"?

wait you have to pay $100 if you want a mic on the vive?
Can't you plug in some 3.5mm shit?

I got an Oculus because it's way cheaper right now, but I've tried the Vive as well. Vive is better but only by a bit. Only thing I hate about Oculus is its DRM which sometimes interferes with SteamVR

the lens part doesn't have a slide adjust to make more room for glasses. other headsets do.

Isn't there "open composite" or something that helps with that?
Dunno, I regret even installing oculus software for revive

>no matter how it's adjusted
reading comprehension. I've adjusted it plenty and it doesn't fit my head well. Cheap as they are, some people like the soft straps better. I'm one of them.

It's $100 for the headphone strap. The vive has a built-in mic (and it famously sucks, by the way). You can use regular headphones but in practice it's a pain and I got tired of cords getting tangled up and having one more thing to put on everytime.

Did you get a VR cover? Leather or velour?

driving games in VR are fucking garbage due to how low the resolution of the screens is

there's a reason no big budget driving VR games exist other than pre existing games with a tacked on VR mode

>works on my head

Because there's no 'need' for a VR-only racing game? What is VR going to add that the current big racers with VR support don't have? Short of allowing you to have virtual hands and fuck around with interactive stuff in the car (adjust mirrors, open/close windows, fuck with the heater/radio, etc), those games already have you covered.

kek

Driving games in VR are fucking great due to the depth and ease of moving the camera.
Simracing is a niche genre and wheel+pedal setups are better than everything.
Do you just play Need for Speed and Forza Horizon?

Vive, for the expandability. You can get official wireless adapters, trackers, upgraded basestations, and knuckle controllers when they come out never.
Oculus as of now has the better controllers by far, but that's the only good benefit it has over the Vive.

IT'S THE BATTERIES ON THE CONTROLLERS LOSING THEIR CONTACT ON WIDE SWINGS AND FUCKING RUINING YOUR FAGGOT SONG RIGHT AT THE END JESUS CHRIST I HATE FAGERBERG SO GOD DAMN MUCH
yeah you can fix this shit sticking cardboard and/or tinfoil in there to set them in place, but might not be as tight when you change batteries so you have to go back and readjust
fuck me

I've not had that problem at all with my rechargeables, but not all batteries are the same size I suppose.

beat saber is not tracking intensive
try something with 360 degree rotation that will involve occluding your sensors by your back
t. 3 sensor setup owner

What makes you think that isn't the tracking?

Taking into account price I'd go Oculus for sure.

If we're not talking price maybe Vive, but I hate the Vive wands. The touch controllers are much better. Vive's actual display is better though, although I'd say Oculus' is pretty comparable.

Also being able to pin a youtube video inside of a video game I'm playing is incredible with Oculus Dash. Oculus Dash is fucking great, you can probably use it with Revive but I like having my shit native.

The only thing intensive about Beat Saber tracking is that the 60hz tracking of both Rift and Vive are not fast enough for it, so it's highly reliant on their software end to estimate/guess with the increased read rates from the controllers' gyro.

This. Main reason I got a third sensor was so I could track shit behind my back.

I had a WMR headset before an Oculus, and even that tracking was good enough for 90% of activities.

I also play serious sam vr while spinning around and I have yet to experience anything weird in the slightest
had unrelated issues at first because of the cable getting in the way, then I bought some shit to hang it on the ceiling

because it can be fixed, as explained in the post

>Also being able to pin a youtube video inside of a video game I'm playing is incredible with Oculus Dash. Oculus Dash is fucking great, you can probably use it with Revive but I like having my shit native.
You can use ovrdrop for this on steamvr

PSVR because Sony is the only company actually pumping money into VR games.

Occulus go sucks you can't play beat saber or super hot.

yes if by pumping you mean bribing devs for timed exlusivity to force vr users on the worst platform
nice business strategy, truly a race to the bottom

lol

Beat saber for PSVR gets its japan release soon.

But anons Zuckerberg pumps lots of cash into VR. They even have an elusive or two, a dumbass decision to make.

I could go buy one right now and it'd "work" great. But I won't because it's shit.

Why would I play such a fucking shitty game?

everyhing exclusive to oculus is perfectly playble on vive save for controller inconsistencies

Because of your low IQ post.

He's talking about business strategy, facebook wanted to do the same thing as sony even if they're failing at it.

yea but they have enough charge for at least a day of vr autism

And vice versa but as an oculus user it's dead easy to run Steam games, but the mass populace might not be able to get Revive working right. So some vive users might not care enough to buy.

We'll see if Sony sticks with VR, they've certainly hopped onto bandwagons and dropped them before.
Someone should make a proper up to date PCVR games list just so people shut the fuck up about the incredibly overrated Beat Saber and Superhot.

The difference in what VR allows vs normal displays is night and day. VR doesn't give you a "physical" presence in the worlds where the games can actually interact with you in a way that feels natural. You certainly don't get the same feeling of slime blocking your vision when you have to physically shake it off. Its a lot of fun, and you sound like you need to stop being poor so you can try it

Boneworks is being made by the Hover junkers and Duck Season dudes. They aren't Valve. If anything they're a part of Node/Corridor Digital since they share the office building and are all friends

Stormland will be a pain in the ass to play on Vive wands. Even the Knuckles don't have dual-triggers, so you'd have to map it oddly to the finger pressure sensitivity across the hand.

Yes, how does that relate to tetris, a game where you stare ahead in one direction and play with a gamepad?

i mix them with Amazon basics if it helps

Waiting for the inevitable disappointment at GDC accompanied by more waiting.

It's made by the same team dipshit, so I'd think even a brainlet caveman like yourself could understand the appeal of the kind of audiovisual experience it offers in VR.

Being easily dazzled by flashing lights and confetti seems like the absolute indicator of low-IQ appeal really, and Tetris is hardly an intellectual game to begin with.
I wish you people (beatsaber fags) would just go do drugs instead and leave VR alone, this medium has too much potential to be squandered on casualshit.

Being from the same team that converted another console game to VR and made it work doesn't imply Tetris makes any sense as a VR game.

Holy shit dude off yourself. I'm so tired of this moronic mindset I dont even care if it's bait. The same horseshit mindset could be set in place for nonVR games too. "All you fags should go outside instead of just staring at flashing pixelated lights nothing you are staring at is real anyways". Fuck

I could interpret this many ways
Why does the VR market have to be so cryptic. Rift stock is drying up too.

>Do you just play Need for Speed and Forza Horizon?
Well yeah, the only good driving games

the trannies in VR Chat would love you

Lmao

They are good
but i do implore you to try sims. They suck at first because you want to go pedal to the metal from 1st gear, but once you get the control down it's pretty nice.
I recommend Assetto Corsa. Cheap, runs great, and good modding capability with ModManager.
Tracks, specifically: LA Canyons and Lake Louise. Two really long, scenic courses you can just drive on without worry about speeding around corners.

I've never even played Beat Saber.
>flashing lights and confetti
I can guarantee you haven't actually played Tetris Effect and probably don't even know who Tetsuya Mizuguchi is or what games he's made.

>Being from the same team that converted another console game to VR

Forza Horizon is not a sim. It's shitty wheel support is a crime because it's fun.
Forza Motorsport is that really annoying word "simcade" but it does lean more towards sim. It's in the same alley as Project Cars. Still good, but no VR no buy for me.

I haven't tried that track. Is there any spots where I can floor it?

It's the team that MADE Rez you fucking retard, not just some port house.

nobody is impressed, spaz
I'm just glad that unlike the Wii, VR is robust enough to outlive fads like this

That doesn't contradict anything I wrote.

you played assetto corsa and havent tried nordschleife? are you serious? the last bit is a 2km straight, also the middle of the track has a pretty straight section too

Is VR racing a tradeoff between using a racing wheel for authentic steering versus using the controllers for interaction with internal systems? Is it even a concern?

Why do VR cucks get so upset over Beat Saber? Is it because it's attracting an audience to their sekrit club?

i bet you play H3VR you fucking nerd

The Wii was a gigantic success and every Nintendo console after that incorporated its ideas.

Attached: 1551144457842.png (939x690, 624K)

Because it's one of the very few VR games that takes actual skill to play. The sim babbies don't like that.

Probably for the same reasons Yea Forums gets mad over anything that's fun and popular.

There's no real racing sim that uses the controllers, it'd be an overall terrible experience and you'd lose time on laps like mad.
Physical Wheel with forcefeedback and pedals at minimum.

I've seriously only played LA Canyons and Lake Louise mods.

If you got a shit TV (which is probably a yes for the average PS4 owner), Tetris Effect in VR gives you a better display to play at higher level speeds on without TV response delay getting in the way.

>there's like a dozen of VR CS clones trying to become the next big thing
Whom will succeed? Is CS even the path to success or do players want something entirely different?

Most people get motion sick with smooth locomotion, which these games require, so no people want something different.

Does anyone know how to make model animations in VRChat not fucking awful on Oculus?
The sounds and added parts of models are played by using gestures instead of a dedicated button like on a Vive controller and it's so finicky.

I got the wireless vive pro as well. I might have made a mistake going pure AMD though. The wireless works fine even after hours of tweaking i cant get the quality to surpass the "pixilated" look that happens whenever the screen gets crowded. Couple that with it sometimes crashing when you use the full body trackers. Still amazing when you have the open space for it, but probably not ready unless you have the BEST cpu/gpu out right now. Even then ive heard it still pixilates

Nobody knows and at this stage it's going to be really hard for any worthy game to gain the critical mass it needs to sustain a healthy population.

Anyone else here can tell their experience with O+? I really feel like buying it but I saw some people complaining about comfort and the headphones.

Do you want a Facebook service running on your PC all the time? Do you want cameras (with no status light) running Facebook software in your house?

Which is dumb, since they're literally releasing a not-Quest to be a cheaper Rift replacement for the PC end of things.

So rather than having Go/Quest/Rift we're now going to have Go/Quest/Rift/RiftS....

Rift S has not been officially announced and it's probably going to be canceled if low-end VR is too competitive

Running windows or any similar service on the Vive has the same level of privacy tracking as Oculus.

That's the Steam Master package Valve uses to distribute internal builds of their stuff, my guess is that they are partnering up with SLZ to develop the Knuckles in tandem with the game and release both together.

You'll have a hard time finding games that don't support it, MS and Valve are working closely to ensure compatibility with SteamVR. Most games work by default though specific WMR tweaks help.
