You'd have the same issues you have in the real world. You're still focusing on something far away, even if it's just tricking your eyes.

The threads moved from everyone assuming they were doing it wrong to everyone suggesting they got two faulty headsets

Yeah no kidding, cause they were clearly taken from launch assortment so what the hell does that mean for the general public if a small group of outlets are getting fauty kits
User error is much more common than two out of two faulty hardware units.

He took his glasses off for the sole purpose of being able to tighten the headset further without smoshing the glasses against his face lol
Now it's just a matter of if it's 'struck-by-lightning' unlucky or 'red-ring-of-death' unlucky.
Well, Eurogamer essentially confirmed they had a faulty headset so it when you see two headsets with the same issues, with one being confirmed faulty, it's a pretty natural jump.

I sadly missed out on the preorder, so I may see if this theory of Kotaku, Eurogamer and GB's headsets being faulty proves to be true. I will still go for a headset next week, but if I can't get one, I won't be too concerned like I originally was.

Getting two even more so. Also probably the worst media outlet to get the faulty hardware as well if that is the case.

Well, something is wrong, clearly. This is not the experience I've seen demoed so many times now.
The GB guys are calling it like they see it, but Eurogamer did good in pointing out that this might be a problem not with the setup that GB has, but literally because they have faulty headsets.
This did struck me as odd. I've tried these in a bunch of different gamestops and best buys with different lighting conditions and they have had no tracking issues to the severity that Jeff was getting on his headset.
Are you new to giant bomb?

Yeah, it looks like it's pointing away for some reason.
If that's the case though, then how many faulty headsets are out there?
There being two faulty headsets sent to the various publications doesn't seem good. But we will have to wait for launch to see it.
Yeah, it's not exactly a good sign. And because a lot of people will literally get sick if they get a faulty headset it could be a huge shit storm if it's a bigger problem.
real world usage vs preset perfect enviroment demo usage, its not like this has never happened before, right? *cough*kinect*cough*
Could just be the preview ones really which would be a fault of Sony. Working in VR right now, we have the Oculus Touch engineering samples here in the studio, but it's a possibility what they were given were also engineering samples as well albeit faulty ones. I don't know for sure. What seems clear is that there's something wrong with their hardware.
I would have just expected more previews bringing this up earlier since these have been in BB and Gamestops around the country since June.

But if it's that easy to make the thing misbehave...
This feels like Kinect 1 launch all over again.

two faulty headsets getting sent to the same place is a bad sign

Yes I am, why?
Of course. They are doing it wrong, have faulty headsets and have Phil spencer holding Jeffs hair back as he is sick into the toilet.

Brad is bad at videogames is a classic giant bomb meme.
I thought Batman looked all right.
I imagine games would look blurry/fuzzy in the headset, due its low resolution. I wish GB talked about the more technical stuff. Nobody has said like whoa 120fps or anything like that?
Kinect was a bad piece of tech that required immense user effort.
This, if these are faulty units, is simply units not working as intended when there are working units out there.
Very different scenarios. The former cannot be fixed. The latter is hopefully a temporary issue.

I wonder if their Green/Blue background lights are messing with the camera.

I really love the blocky sounds.
Improbable based on what? It sounds like multiple websites may have received faulty units.
