Oculus is probably feeling some pressure right now.
If this becomes the trend in all the reviews, definitely.
One of the worst things that could happen for oculus is that Giant Bomb tries the vive on their livestream and goes apeshit over it.
The team is bringing their photogrammetric captures to SteamVR through the Realities app for free on April 5th, the Vive’s launch day. You’ll be able to download and explore for yourself, provided you’ve got an HTC Vive. (The team tells us Rift support through SteamVR is coming soon).
Makes me wonder if they will try to push the Touch release up.
well part of their complaints was that so many of the Oculus launch titles were just normal games with VR cameras. I think the nature of some of the Vive's launch titles will separate them from conventional games that they might be a bit more interesting.
But yeah, giantbomb tends to be harshly jaded.
I doubt that will happen. They want deep games and while I think the Vive launch games will be great fun they're still pretty simple and content light. I hope there aren't a lot of people waiting for GB to be the ones to convince them. They're pretty consistent with what they like and I dpthink the Vive stream will be similar to the Rift only slightly more positive.
I don't think it's a matter of agreeing with them on everything and being convinced in that sense. I'm interested in seeing it put to use by them. I'm not that interested in any launch games between this and Oculus except Elite, so any criticisms against those doesn't really matter to me. I'm interested in getting one for the possibilities in the future and hopefully Arma 3 running on one.

This review made me so happy. A new form of entertainment and narration materialized.
Well, I think I'm sold on the Vive for sure now.

What worries me for these games is, since the Steam page shows both room scale and standing for the space needed, how does the experience change from one to another?
They alse really need to put the room space needed in the Store page for these games

I was thinking about it yesterday. With the camera I will be able to use my keyboard. All I need is the abilty to locate one letter and position my fingers. Muscles memory will do the rest and I can switch back to VR. I hope there will be a shortcut on the keyboard to alternate between VR and Tron views.Destructoïd review said:The ability to see your keyboard and mouse via camera feed without taking my headset off, as well as the absense of Oculus weird nose gap, for me made the Vive a considerably better VR platform of choice for seated play.
Yeah, I'd be waiting until the end of the week to order, anyway. I'll definitely still read reviews and impressions this week, but I'm leaning heavily towards cancelling my Rift order.can't wait.
I'd wait for more if you're on the fence. I'm sure there will be a dozen more for your consideration in the next 24 hours.
With regards to The Gallery, the devs have a teleport solution for movement, so you could walk around in game, or do everything while standing still. Budget Cuts and the new Minecrift mod for the Vive both offer the same thing.
I don't think one detracts from the other, since you can walk around as much as you want if you have the space. I think one of the guys from Valve said every game in The Lab also works as a seated experience.
Oh wow, even my chandelier might be in the way of the 2 base stations, jesus christ
Don't be a baby. Ribs grow back.
What a time to be alive
The more i try to figure shit out in my mind on how an ideal setup would work the more problems i find :/

Operating the heavy is easy.
Try this in the scout´s tiny frame ! HAHA
Day one VALVE ! DAY ONE.
This make me think, is there any concrete comparisons available between Rift and Vive speaking about the screen quality ? I searched a little bit these days, but nothing concrete. I only heard some months ago that the Rift would be a little bit better on this point, without seeing any deep comparisons.
This is personally the only element that bothers me. I tried DK1, DK2, Gear VR, and all these VR systems have a true screendoor problem for me (I don't know if it's really the word to use, but you know, the fact to clearly see pixels (and a true blur problem on the edges)).
I think these two companies should really do some "test tour" around the world. I heard something like this was in companies mind, but I saw nothing for now.
Set up one of them at medium height? That should solve the chandelier problem.
The worry for me is spending so much on something and then for an unforseen problem to arise during installation in the room.
Archimedes gunna get sewn into Heavy by my own hands
so happy ;_;
Can they be at different heights? That might work
Ordered two damn minutes after the store page launched -- charge still pending, still no shipping info. HTC pls.

I'll post a picture of my room later, i don't care if i'll be limited to standing only because i was ready for that, but some temporary fix until my "future" move would be much apprecciated
yup :|
Yup, that would be fine
