Figured I'd come on here and see your reactions but I guess the VR hype has died down. The consumer rift begins shipping in March for the whopping price tag of 600$.

Will you be getting VR anytime soon, and at what price?

I'll wait until it's under $400.

Will add some sources when I'm off mobile.

damn right the vr has died down, if i really wanted to wear goggles to see a screen, id play the old Nintendo system (i think it was Nintendo) Itll be worth buying once it can input the senses into your brain, untill then there isnt much diffrence between that and normal screens besides the gyroscope. Another thing with the prototypes, idk about the new ones, they had cords with them. whats the point of a headset that has a cord in it? but once it can directly input the senses, ill buy one right away... idc if its a SAO kind of shit (the kidnapping i mean), ill still buy it hands down

The old me would drop PC in a heart beat and sign up. But now that just looks like it would make me nauseous. Getting old sucks.

Oculus Rift seemed interesting but I found FOVE to be a bit cooler in my opinion.

I'm waiting to buy one, Mainly so I can see the downside and issues first. I mean I'm sure someone will mess up their eyes really bad from gaming to much.

also the microsoft hololens

From what I've heard of friends who have tried it, they all said they felt like they were there. Sad news though, they did go with resolution over a better fov and you will always have black borders on the edges of the screen.

It's wireless now, and it comes with a built in headset so you don't have both the rift and a headset weighing your head down. Speaking of that, it's also lighter than before. Most of the pieces are removable and replaceable. Also the whole 'into your senses' thing is batshit insane, that's too far.

According to some random person on the internet, it has further reduced the motion sickness. We have yet to see this reaction echoed from a trustable source.

Haven't heard of the FOVE, will check it out. My eyes were fucked since birth so it's not like I can fuck them up any further (it's that bad.)

Also the hololens has a really small field of view, according to Microsoft like "standing 2 feet from a 15" monitor".

[Edit]
Nevermind, I have heard of FOVE. I think the best part is that once we nail down eye tracking, you can focus the majority of rendering to that area and then if the rest is low quality it will not show.

I seriously doubt that it is probally like what happened with the train motion picture, where they filmed a train heading straight towards a camera, and when people saw it in theaters, even though it was black and white, the people paniced and ran out of the theater, where as now-a-days we have 3D glasses... id hate to see them react to transformers in 3d

its only like that for a little but then you realize the faults in the device and dont get bothered

So it's just like the thing with the train? You can't get bothered to look at a monitor/tv because video games are boring? 

All technology is like that it's personal preference. But yes there's no way that I can get 600$ worth of entertainment out of it. Even 400$ is a stretch. The price will drop soon, either because people get bored of it or it's making enough that they can mass-produce more to reduce the price.

That would be awesome. I just think about the time I was playing on my SEGA Genisis, some tube racing game, where I built a box around the TV, coned up to my head like goggles, with foil inside, and I tried to play that way.  not in a good way lol

Oh god, first mention of Genesis I thought of SONIC, then you said tube racing...



Genesis best console I've ever owned.

Speaking of Sonic, apparently they re-re-rebooted the Sonic 2 HD remake. Hehe, that thing started as a community project then shutdown into a team, then destroyed, then rebooted, and now is here today.
