Oculus Dev Kit 2

[TastyRabbit]

I'm sitting at my PC with the order ready to go... Do you think its worth ordering or waiting for the consumer version?

I really want to play the Star Citizen Fighter module with an Ocu Rift...

[NInety]

I just ordered one for me and one for my friend (he's paying, he just asked me to order it for him). I wouldn't wait for the consumer version if I were you.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I want. But I must wait.

It's just so expensive!

[Adnanklink]

I went for it. I told myself that I could wait for the next iteration after hearing of all the drawbacks of dk1. Now it has arrived and I jumped on it. Also, I figure the consumer one wont arrive till at least q1 or q2 next year (maybe later, who knows...)

[TastyRabbit]

I just ordered....

I couldn't help it

I couldn't help it

now we wait, it is less than 4 months away

 

Edit: Oh god 4 MONTHs, I will lose my sanity!

[TastyRabbit]

I hope they're games to play

[CatCloud]

I'm waiting for the consumer release.

 

On a side note, what resolution is the consumer model and is it two small displays, one for each eye?

There's no information on the consumer model and it is two small displays, 920x1080p (edit: 960x1080) each for the Dev Kit 2

 

EDIT: Aside from a faster refresh rate on the consumer model we aren't sure what else will be in it at this point (high res too most likely). They're waiting for hardware to become available - i.e. 90hz+ OLED displays

[Fred Castellum]

I'd personally wait and get the consumer version when it releases. I'd technically be getting it for Star Citizen and Star Citizen still has a long time before being released.

There are*

Pre-ordered one this morning once Paypal started to work again.

 

Can't wait  :lol:

Cool, so it'd be about 1080p (both eyes) and 90hz oled for the consumer, sounds worth the wait.

Do you know if the performance is much different than the actual resolution on a regular monitor/tv?

[TastyRabbit]

Crap…....

I'm getting

"We're sorry, but we can't send your payment right now"

[AndyJetty]

Pre-ordered as well.  July needs to hurry up.

Can't say, I haven't tried the latest version. They want to get it to the point where you won't see any pixels and have no blur effect when moving your head - those are some of the biggest issues which better panels/displays will fix. One things for sure though, you'll definitely need a beefy graphics card to generate the dual images that the Oculus requires. I've pre-ordered one and look forward to seeing how far it has come along since I last tried it.

Its confirmed to be a higher than 1080p for the consumer model actually.

90Hz yeah, also lower latency and lower weight.

 

If your not a dev I'd still wait, the consumer is the next step up again.

If you have enough cash and want to get in early, then its probably worth it, but for those like me on more restricted budgets, I'm saving till CV1.

Have they said the consumer models price or it relative to the dev kits?

No confirmed price, but they know they need to hit the correct pricepoint. DK1 to DK2 is $50 extra, I can't see the consumer model being too much extra, or if it is the price will be warranted.

 

They now have Sony in the scene, and with a company that size Sony could afford to subsidize the price, so Oculus is going to be competitive.

Ya sony's is apparently more focused on movie watching but there's no reason it wouldn't be good for gaming too. I'm not tied down to oculus or anything, which ever one is better and more versatile for the price I'll be getting

For those who didn't see it, CV1 will NOT be 1080p, but higher. Palmer himself said so:

"[...] the consumer version is going to have higher resolution, lower weight, lower latency, higher framerate, it's just better in so many ways[...]"

And right after that he says the components needed for what they want don't exist yet. It could be years before they're capable of making what he described.

But he also says that they know when the required components will be released.
