I can't watch the stream yet, but from these responses it is a lot better then what oculus is offering? At least the responses here seem way more positive.

 

[mintyice]

This game looks insane and probably a decent workout.

 

[mattp]

im with brad
this game looks legit fucking awesome

first vr game i have said that about

 

[valkillmore]

I am legit blown away

 

[Antiwhippy]

Alright I got this planned out.

First gen PSVR.

2nd gen Vive 2.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Assuming exclusivity, Xortex makes it look like Vive is the clear VR winner. I think I'd completely rage if I bought an Oculus instead and then saw this. 100% all in on Vive if Xortex is exclusive.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Looking forward to 2 years down the track when there's actual software for these things

Jeff putting in work

 

[LiK]

this game seems cool.

edit: see I'm way too late, made a thread regardless

 

[hamchan]

Leave it up to Valve to make VR look amazing.

 

[Jintor]

That was sick

 

[soundscream]

This is awesome, but you really need the free space and possibly a hook on your ceiling for the cord.

 

[Machina]

I'll be preordering this when I get paid next. When is the next shipment due?

 

[Stairouais]

This seems miles better than the occulus.

Did they say if valve sent them a beefy PC beforehand?

 

[akileese]

I know they said it's the same box as the Oculus but what are the specs aside from the 970?

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Yep that might have won me over.

 

[Easy_D]

When even Jeff is in complete love with something you know it's good.

 

[JonCha]

Yep, this has done more 20 minutes or so than Oculus did all day. The depth of field while wearing the headset seems really cool.

 

[Zepp Twofist]

This game looks insane and probably a decent workout.

Yeah. If this holds up, I might lose some weight when I get mine.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

Imagine a table top Starcraft and Warcraft game.

I really, really want to play Magic The Gathering in a table top form like this, beats the shit out of the crappy MTGO client.

Seriously VR tabletop games is something I want.

 

[Tubobutts]

If the other stuff they show looks as good as the Valve stuff I might change my mind about VR from never to maybe.

Seriously VR tabletop games is something I want.

That is something I want too.

 

[Compsiox]

To those contemplating the purchase...

Do it.


You want this in your home.

 

[Z3M0G]

Alright I got this planned out.

First gen PSVR.

2nd gen Vive 2.

That is actually a really good plan!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Lol wait, they're using Oculus' loaner computer to run their Vive stream? Fantastic.

 

[MUnited83]

The only thing I'm weary about is that fucking cord

Due to it's positioning it is mostly out of your way. I don't doubt someone will trip on it eventually but I don't think it's much of a concern for the most part.

 

[Guess Who]

This seems miles better than the occulus.

Did they say if valve sent them a beefy PC beforehand?

This is the same PC they used with the Rift last week.

I know they said it's the same box as the Oculus but what are the specs aside from the 970?

16GB RAM, some Skylake i5, forget the model.

 

[Baloonatic]

This is significantly more impressive than the OR to me.

 

[Weed]

This stuff looks fun

 

[Window]

This seems miles better than the occulus.

Did they say if valve sent them a beefy PC beforehand?

Same PC setup as Oculus. 970 with i5 (6400?).

 

[Movalpolos]

Can't wait to see someone getting tangled in wires and fall on their fucking face with Vive.
Room-scale shit is way too demanding on the user end right now.

 

[Raticus79]

Xertex looks promising as a new concept for movement. Using the controller to directly be the ship in real space... it really highlights the value of Lighthouse.

Could still limit the movement speed by having your controller become a target "ghost" that the ship will move to if you're moving the controller faster than the dev wants to allow for balance.

 

[Kurdel]

Vive stream already fire compared to the Occulus snooze fest.

 

[GoldandBlue]

My interesting in VR was pretty minimal but this shot it up. Wow.

 

[Hoo-doo]

This seems miles better than the occulus.

Did they say if valve sent them a beefy PC beforehand?

Same PC as the one used in the Oculus stream. 970 I believe.

 

[Zaph]

It seems like you can have a lot of the fun of roomscale VR with just a standing space and good tracking. Living in a major city, it's putting my square footage fears at ease

 

[Compsiox]

I'll be preordering this when I get paid next. When is the next shipment due?

May. Will probably become June by the end of today.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

So when does the Brad Muir developed VR saluting game come out?

 

[Ominym]

I was planning on buying a Vive in the near future alongside a new PC. But if this stream keeps pace I'm going to start making poor financial decisions today.

 

[valkillmore]

Alright I got this planned out.

First gen PSVR.

2nd gen Vive 2.

Very much this

 

[Roxas]

those wires seem a REAL pain in the ass

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Did he say anything about preferring the Vive over the Oculus Rift?

 

[cheezcake]

I can't watch the stream yet, but from these responses it is a lot better then what oculus is offering? At least the responses here seem way more positive.

I think at this point it's no contest in favour of the Vive. When Touch controllers comes out the gap may lessen or even become totally negligible.

 

[Jintor]

Okay a lot of caveats

 

[The Chef]

When he is playing that Slingshot game...its like the coolest looking game and he is just sitting there playing it like he is bored. The hell is wrong with him?

 

[kadotsu]

This stream proves to me that once the content is there VR will be a sight to behold. I hope the economics work out so we get there. Because the lab shits on everything Oculus brought from a great height.

 

[Compsiox]

those wires seem a REAL pain in the ass

You get used to it quickly.

I own a Pre if you're wondering.

 

[Krejlooc]

My interesting in VR was pretty minimal but this shot it up. Wow.

Hand tracking is HUUUUUUGE. Arguably just as big as head tracking. This is basically the promise of motion controls last gen realized. This is why it's mind blowing that Oculus didn't launch with touch. It's such an important part of VR.

 

[Data West]

When he is playing that Slingshot game...its like the coolest looking game and he is just sitting there playing it like he is bored. The hell is wrong with him?

It's a.... slingshot game.

 

[Splendor]

As a person who only watched a little of the oculus stream, what issues did it have and what is this doing better/worse?
