I'm excited to see what the final version will be like. I'm actually really excited about an untethered game experience. If Samsung could make this work with every phone they come out with it and maybe even compatible with future phones so you don't have to buy a new one every time, I think it could be a hit.
I love oculus. It's incredible and completely immersive. When I hear it still gets you sick I'm officially out. I loved games like aliens in my old version two for the PC. Up until I felt like I was going to get sick on my cat. It's the worst feeling. I can't wait for the future models where this is fixed. It'll be worth every penny.
Tamer Yiğit Dude all I gotta say is that the Gear VR SMOKES Google Cardboard and Oculus for PC. Its just a better overall experience period.. I have had all of them but Just my opinion tho The unfortunate thing is that you have to put them all on your head before you can really know for sure which is best. There are so many things to take into consideration such as content availability, immersion, graphics, smooth head-tracking and the general experience. You simply cannot watch youtube and get a real sense of these things until you try them all for yourself.
GeorgeBonez Lmao there is no way the Gear Vr smokes the Oculus Rift for PC. It's cheaply made in comparison and is for a mobile smart phone. The real Oculus is built for PC. Cmon..
It's actually kind of a good idea... It shows that the user really gets the feeling of real motion... I'd send a person that gets motion sickness along with one that doesn't to do a VR review...
Pre-Ordered it. Not a developer btw. It's mainly for developer's and early adopters. While I have yet to try VR (This Device included), I have heard good things about it and it's not exactly like some may believe, what I'm saying is, you will not go blind!!! As for battery, you could just get a portable battery and add it to the device and be on it for a bit longer. Need I say more? There's been added content to the store and you can get porn for it too!!
I bought this last week I got one week left to try it so far its a waste of money So what does she mean in the fall there's going to be another version
Why would you have someone who gets motion sickness review a product that gives a minority of people motion sickness. It should be a side note and nothing more. Don't have someone tell me they can't use something because they are physically unable to do so. "Hey i know i'm lactose intolerant but let me tell you about this icecream. It is really good but now my stomach hurts, i know the shits are coming soon , so you probably should stay away from it too just i case." IGN review too much gotdang water 1 out of 59
Remember when our mom's would freak out if we sat too close to the tv as kids because it was bad for our eyes? This tech would have given my mom a heart attack 20 years ago!
Maximum 90 Don't worry, your eyes won't be focusing on anything up close! A TV up close will cause eye strain, these won't because you're actually looking at objects further away.
PrepareYourself85 Not really, the harm from screens come from focusing on something that is close up for too long -- but with VR headsets your eyes aren't focusing on the super-duper close up screen, they are focusing on virtual objects that your brain thinks are further away than they are.. that's why your eyes won't strain or become short-sighted.
I'll wait for nvidia to throw their hat into this ring.. a better head set built around a "shield phone" with an X1 CPU and 100gb HDD.. I'd be willing to pay $1,000 for that set up..
Wait seriously? I thought that's a given and a selling point for most people. That's why I got my S4. Cheap expandable memory gives me room for my music.
Ikr. The Phone layout is like the iPhone 6. Which kinda annoys me. One time, the Samsung Developers said that S6 is gonna make REAL MONEY FAST. But turns out it didn't. And still iPhone is taking the lead.
Javier Miguel Abeng iPhone is taking the lead? No. Google who just took back the number 1 spot for biggest phone manufacturer. The answer is Samsung. I personally hate the S6 because I love the old removable covers and expandable storage, however, this phone is what helped bring Samsung back to the top as number one phone manufacturer. And to put things in perspective for you iSheep out there, Android is occupying 80% of phones in the world where as iOS is only occupying 20%. Don't believe me? Google it. Also, do us all a favor and stop trying to keep the old "Samsung vs Apple" rivalry alive..You won't win. And besides, samsung and apple are working together on the next iPhone chip.

Why the dislikes? This is amazing. Haters probably
No? What? They dislike becuz its IGN not the VR
Probably iPhone users
You're stupid. I'm an iPhone user and I liked it. I swear! So childish to say that...
Chris E It's just a phone-wars joke m8
I just wouldn't feel right paying 200 for this. I'd rather wait and buy the real Oculus for PC when it's released.
gamingdevil800 gear vr: no fk*ng cables, u can wear it everywhere and u have the cinema mode which is awesome!
Tamer Yiğit what's the point having all that portability when all the games on it are shit
krisspykrapper most people (like me) buy that vr because of the cinema mode.

Should i buy it now or wait for the consumer version?
For phone games? lol
***** Ikr, wtf?
***** If it's anything like Google Cardboard, pretty sure it can be used on PC.
Ew samsungs
Wellsy Reviewer
Why would I play phone games on PC?
*****
Why send a reviewer that is easily given motion sickness to review a VR headset?
It's actually kind of a good idea... It shows that the user really gets the feeling of real motion... I'd send a person that gets motion sickness along with one that doesn't to do a VR review...
Everyone talking about VR but no one talks about what "GAMES" are gonna come out for yhem....
Can I use it to watch.....videos?
I think so.
steven khemraj VR cinema is amazing. You feel like your in a huge cinema.

if only the phone could been use as a pc monitor :/
It would be better if they made a headset that adjusts, not everyone uses a samsung or s series.
Negative Shit Powder And this is their way of telling you that you need to be then, their trying to be no different than Apple's closed ecosystem
why would you want this for your phone?
Is this Erica Griffin?
Someone turns this into FPV kit please!
just watched sword art online...scared of vr stuff now XD
I see SAO approaching O_o
[REM] Everybody blind sometimes [/REM]
Yea,keeping your phone so close to your eyes will do major harm to them. But that's none of my business.

Watch these kids try to connect it to consoles
I'll wait for nvidia to throw their hat into this ring.. a better head set built around a "shield phone" with an X1 CPU and 100gb HDD.. I'd be willing to pay $1,000 for that set up..
Ugh.... why the s6? I'm definitely not buying an s6 because it has no removable battery or expandable memory :( well that sucks.
Wait seriously? I thought that's a given and a selling point for most people. That's why I got my S4. Cheap expandable memory gives me room for my music.
x Tuma it has really bad battery compared to other phones
Nope.
hello
That don't work, Samsung can't even make a fast phone!
Ikr. The Phone layout is like the iPhone 6. Which kinda annoys me. One time, the Samsung Developers said that S6 is gonna make REAL MONEY FAST. But turns out it didn't. And still iPhone is taking the lead.
Watch out, we have a isheep over here!
Javier Miguel Abeng The layout? Its just normal android , you're stupid LOL.
Blah Bleh s6 the fastest phone now and iphone 6 follow samsung in sale NOW
