"Oh, there's a hugely popular new product coming out, **** everyone else, let's bag a couple to flog for more money" It's hardly comparable to ticket touting though is it?

hogso Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 It's actually exactly comparable to ticket touting. There is apparently high demand, and no availability, so surplus items have been bought for profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Daweii Posted March 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2016 Having used all three of the VR headsets coming to market in the near future I am personally going with PlayStation VR and I will explain why below. Now HTC Vive (£689) and Oculus Rift (£500) are great headsets especially the Vive which is as premium as they come. What put me off though is their PC hardware spec, they require a pretty damn good PC just to run and that's without games adding to that. There are already games asking for £500 graphics cards like the GTX 980Ti just to run the game on Vive in some form and this put me off. What I will say though is both headsets are great if that is the route you want to go down, they both feel extremely premium although the Oculus Rift is lacking in out of the box features offering only an Xbox One controller as a means of playing games on it. HTC Vive on the other hand for its added cost does throw in two touch controllers and two lighthouses for room motion tracking so factor that in when comparing the prices of the two. PlayStation VR feels the cheapest and coincidentally is the cheapest at £350. If you are looking for hardware advantages then despite the flimsier hardware construction and the lower quality screen it does run at 120Hz instead of 90Hz from the other two, which will allow VR games on PlayStation 4 to feel far more fluid. Though my reason for choosing PlayStation VR is more that it's for a console so the "it just works" factor is a huge draw for me, not to mention Sony have got over 160 experiences in the works from first and third party studios for customers that buy one which is more than I can say for the other two. The PlayStation VR comes with the headset and the VR sub-console for that £350 so you get a substantial amount of hardware for your cash. What it doesn't come with is the PlayStation Camera which is required so if you don't own one then you are looking at £400 for the whole package, but I am much more content paying that than £689 + any PC hardware upgrades needed when a VR game decides to push the boundaries further. My end goal is a HTC Vive but that will be once VR has settled and is no longer tech in its infancy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Along with the Wii,Kinect,Ps move & 3D tv's eventually it'll go down the same road...people won't be arsed with it. While I appreciate they need to push for new products & ideas people simply want to sit with a controller & play. It's been that way for so long it'll be hard to break that type of gaming. Just my opinion. Personally I haven't even bothered reading much about them because I won't be able to use one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I love the idea, i just wonder how you'd move around in the game without moving around in your physical space. An fps would b3 incredible for the reflexes, accuracy etc, but ducking for cover, running, sprinting would take the immersion out of it i imagine.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think the long term aim of eroding the distance between gamer & game is a terrible idea and will turn swathes of people into those chaps in Inception who just lie in bed all day dreaming. The current VR sets are still a bit silly and it is obvious that you are wearing them and playing a game so they don't really have the intended effect.

The current VR sets are still a bit silly and it is obvious that you are wearing them and playing a game so they don't really have the intended effect. I personally think that it will be no worse than gaming currently is. Gaming is already seen as a rather anti-social pastime and can see people vanishing off the face of the earth for days at a time. I personally think those that this would affect "negatively" are those that already play games perhaps a little too much at the expense of their lives, I don't see VR really altering the habits of those that play in moderation and have a social life. Now I'm not discrediting that VR could be a negative as it could, I haven't used any headset for long enough to gauge certain things such as - "how does time pass you by wearing one?" or "is the VR that immersive people may miss meals and forget to eat?". These are all things hard to gauge on a show floor playing with industry reps prodding and asking questions about my thoughts, so you could very well be right but I also think that the people you summed up will do that anyway be it watching TV, playing games or sitting on the Internet..
