Is it wrong that I read the same thing?

I got to try the Consumer Beta (ECV7) and here is my detailed analysis and comparisons between DK1, DK2, Vive & GearVR (including fov comparisons) • /r/oculus

Sounds good

When I saw Google Cardboard a few weeks ago, I thought it was a joke. Looks quite odd.

I love the Google cardboard concept

To pre-order the Rift or not?

A previously tried the VR Gear with my S6 and the Virtual effect was great but very disappointed with the visual detail/quality and really obvious screen door effect (plus I got a bit motion sickness)

Really was like looking at a zoomed-in Nintendo DS with pixilation/SDE.

Have they resolved this with the Rift/Vive ? My PC is more than capable.

Smacks of a heavily biased article, but interesting nonetheless:

OSVR is even better than the Oculus Rift and half the cost

Personally I am suspicious of it being a rift beater but that being said, open source cheap and even if it on a par with dk2 it will be interesting.

Just so long as it is  compatible with steam vr so it has some games

For some reason the comments aren't showing on my screen now, but earlier someone posted "I'm a dev and I've all of them, and this was way off the Rift".

In truth, I wish it was a Rift beater (or as good), as that could only be good for us.  Be interesting to see how VR in general develops

"I'm a Dev and it blows the rift out of the water."



Always best to avoid comments to sections. They're normally full of idiots.

It would be greater if some cheaper units made their way onto the market so soon. Especially if they can be supported by existing developers.

Hopefolly the flood of DK2s onto the second hand market will help too. When I first got mine I was playing it on an i5 2500 and r9 290x and it was still 'wow'.
