No fucking way I'll consider buying one now.
My consideration was off the table after Facebook bought Oculus.
Or be like me. Get one then Meta buys the company. Z_z
Bad luck man. I would have bought a rift if Facebook didn't ruin it.
I always wanted one, but when they made it a requirement to have and link a Facebook account to use it I completely lost interest.
They took that out a while ago, that's when I picked up the Quest 2. Honestly, it's the best PCVR headset out there, and this article has nothing to do with PCVR, just their own platform. This won't affect your ability to pirate PCVR games at all.
Make a dummy one.
They make you send them your id...
No they don't.
Guess I'll save up for the Valve one
HP reverb g2 is pretty solid
It's discontinued unfortunately, so don't expect much in the way of support. But it is a great VR headset that you can get on the cheap ATM
I'm really not a fan of Windows MR, both because it's locked to Windows but also because it's kind of temperamental, but it's a good headset in terms of resolution at least (and comfort).
Although I will admit it's not as buggy as it used to be so that's a plus.
Out of curiosity:
I was looking into VR headsets half a year ago and found the PICO 4 interesting as a budget option to try VR.
The Display of the G2 seems to be a lot better but costs an additional 250€. Does it really make the experience that much better and worth the bigger investment if you only want to try it out and fear that the headset will only collect dust after a month or so?
Honestly, If you are just trying out vr I think you should go for the cheaper option. I don’t have a frame of reference though as the G2 was my first headset. You also need to have a good enough GPU for the increased resolution.
Thanks, I guess I will go for the PICO once my urge to buy some new tech appears again.
Just an FYI, but the PICO 4 is made by ByteDance which is the parent company of TikTok. Facebook is awful but I don’t trust TikTok either.
I’m just waiting for the Psvr2 jailbreak. The index is nice, but their choice of display really leaves a lot to be desired. I far preferred even the slightly smeared look of my Odyssey+ to the Index, though the index’s tracking was miles ahead of my Odyssey. PSVR is the best headset on the market, but not worth my time unless it can be used forPCVR.
Or just pay $20 for one of the ones that you stick your phone in.
My phone always overheated with those
It seems (seemed) like a pretty good vr headset....just it's owned by one of the worst companies and I have no interest paying them hundreds for that level of access to my personal information.
😂😂😂😂
