    Good listing of all the confirmed 88 PS4 VR games: All 88 Confirmed PlayStation VR Games and What Theyre About There's a lot of small demonstrations and some goofy games there, but overall it's a great initial set for PS4 VR. No idea which of those games will be out at release or which are...

    Yeah but the folks selling VR and the "journalists" reviewing it are building up those mind blowing expectations. And with all the work OVR has down on their SDK and dev support system I have the expectation that it will be somewhat clean. If it's moderately better than the dev kit versions it...

    Antony is an angrier, accountant version of Nick Offerman who wants to see the world burn. Kegkilla is an accountant who wants to talk shit. Lumie is certifiably crazy in ways that aren't Republican. Merlin is a genuine individual who wants to learn with the rest of us. a_skeleton_03 is a...

    Interesting. Would be a real shock to consumer expectations if the VIVE came out as $500.

    Oh and the other big things on the road map include body tracking. This is a pretty old and well-funded field so I don't know what they plan on doing to get high fidelity body tracking without

    Virtual Reality

    There are lots of bad rumors coming out about the VIVE, both in terms of production issues, delays and costs. I'll take it all with a grain of salt though. The Morpheus being $500 is pretty good. I think Sony is pretty ballsy spending the effort they have into making a great VR product at a...

    I wouldn't worry about it. I think CV2 will release 2-3 years from now and feature: 1. 4k resolution. 2. Improved optics. 3. Improved input device. 4. A bunch of random shit that we learn is bad about the CV1. I expect that CV3 will release 4-6 years from now and feature: 1. 8k...

    Cool video. I havent seen anything about cv2 having foveated rendering. I think we will need it just to keep pace witb the resolution arms race that will happen.

    Love this show so far. I hope it does well. The special effects in a lot of the scenes are amazing and the look into near-future asteroid mining tickles my pickle.

    Let's say Betelgeuse blows, how much illumination will we get and for how long? Will it be a second where one of the stars twinkles a bit, or would it be a nice light show for an hour?

    I wonder how damaging a supernova would be if it temporarily illuminated our earth as much as the sun.

    Battlestar Galactica

    I took ya'lls advice and turned off my brain and enjoyed the rest of the show. I thought the ending was more or less fitting for how silly the whole show was. The only part that really toasted me was how everyone was so willing to give up technology and separate from one another. It's like...

    Mother frakker. I stopped reading this thread because I read your post up until this point and thought it was saying that Adama got toasted somewhere in the middle of the show.

    The DK1, DK2 and the special kickstarter CV1s will never be valuable as collectors items. The goofy preDK1 ones, the crescent bay prototypes and all the random CV1 prototypes may be valuable though. But only if OVR 'wins' the VR war.

    Yep. And the DK2 will be pretty cheap once the CV1 is out and doesn't have any lead time. I actually think the DK2 will be closer to CV1's performance than the CV1 will be to the CV2 in many respects. Both the CV1 and CV2 will likely have similar build quality though. And of course there will...

    I expect the CV2 will cost $600. Same with CV3. There's just way too much technological improvement that will happen to expect the price will drop. To say it a different way, I expect the cost of the high-end VR devices to be $600 until we nail foveated rendering and retina level...

    Sure, I think people, including me, expected it to be close to the DK2 price as a result of Palmer's statements over the last couple years. I just think people are overreacting. The Rift and VIVE are the first versions of a new technology at the enthusiast tier. It's going to be expensive. And...

    Also re: system requirements, I believe the stuff they published is just the maximum requirements for whatever they certify in the store. Most of the things in their store won't require a GTX970. Ex: Windlands is going to run on your old ass systems: But that GTAV Oculus Rift mod that...

    Oculus Rift

    You wouldn't want to do that, because that 55" (or 55feet a ways away from you because why not?) monitor would be at like 1200x1024 resolution. In the future when we get 8k HMDs, that will be a very attractive option.

    As long as they aren't making a large profit off of it, people have no reason to be upset. They haven't been deceitful at all about the price.
