Virtual Reality Community

[christianled59]

As a virtual reality enthusiast and developer, I've discovered that it is a bit difficult to find others to talk about VR games(and other software); considering the small market. I've had the occasional chat in Alt-space or meet someone on Hover Junkers, Pool Nation, etc, but I don't get to actively engage with those people.

 

So I decided to create this thread for those who are interested in VR and/or have a headset themselves. Here you can talk about upcoming games, recommend games, and share your interests for the future of VR. 

 

Enjoy! Please no fanboying.

 

 

To start off, have you all seen this game? It looks phenomenal!

I agree.  The price right now is a bit high. It'll only get cheaper and better though!

Not if my hardware is limiting it..

Seeing as how a used 970 is $350 or so..

And a 6700 is $500.. plus tax.

Even the 480 is $300..

How is see it, hardware will always be a limit somewhere. I mean, if you think about it, a 480 is still an amazing price now compared to the 970 last year. Hardware will only get better. Of course, not everyone will be able to afford the high end, so it'll probably be divided. 

 

You've got to keep in mind, PSVR is looking to provide high end vr for a lower price. The hardware won't be an issue.

It must be a glitch. A 380 will definitely work for vr. It's on par with the 970. I've seen people play vive games with a 960. (lower end fidelity games.) 

 

ah wait. I'm thinking 380x. Idk dude.

 

 

Okay looked into it. Should be fine, it's a little better than a 960 and people say it works fine.

Mobile vr is pretty terrible, but if you want to try it then it's the cheapest option.

Ah, I don't think that'd work. You have to have lenses. Although you can literally get free google cardboards on the internet on some sites.
