  • Now that Oculus has FINALLY made the full Rift experience available for general consumers, it's time to determine who came out on top - Facebook or Valve?

      Well vr has has it's time a long time ago but then it was just a screen inside a pair of goggles, so basically no immersive experience. Now that we have more advanced technology you can move and look around, which is what makes vr entertaining. Being able to move around in a virtual world is what has been the goal always and now it's become reality, and it works really well. I would recommend to take a look at Microsoft's project where they merge reality and virtuality into one

    • @ChaoticGeek

    • @DannyFreddy
      @DannyFreddy 6 лет назад +9

      Yes, and I agree that the Oculus is iconic for that reason, but that shouldn't justify you to but the Rift.
      My brother found a Virtual Boy ( VR headset made by Nintendo in the *EARLY 90's* ) and I was able to try it out yesterday. You can't turn your head around, it's pretty hard to explain how it handles, but it was 3d, and this is talking about back in time before even the snes! It's fun to use, but it never caught on and now it's a rare system...Anyways, before I keep rambling, let me tell you that although the Oculus started the trend for VR, it was Nintendo that prepared for it's future, although it was a failure. The Oculus shouldn't be praised higher than the vive for it's history, but instead just enjoyed for advancing VR technology to date.

      Nobody wants a big heavy cable pulling on the back of their head, also the HTC isn't a comfortable headset. It's Bulky and the images aren't crisp.. the HTC isn't the benchmark headset people should want.

    • @2987ms
      @2987ms 7 лет назад +28

      ZeNeo Well it's the best we currently got. Also I've tried the vive and I had no problems with the weight/cord/clarity.

    • @samcerulean1412
      @samcerulean1412 7 лет назад +2

      While there's no debate the Vive FOV is pretty much better.. I'd make a bet that the VIVE feels more immersive purely because the screen is a lot brighter. Personally I don't think any VR headset is room scale ready-enough. On the other hand tho even though I think the Rift is the better headset they've got a steep uphill battle to get people to want to use their platform.

    • @vespaman101

  • @JamesR624
    @JamesR624 7 лет назад +229

    Wait... so now, instead of the Vive where I get to move about freely, sit or stand, and play tons of supported games made by many different developers, I could have an amazing VR experience where I not only HAVE to sit down, can't move about freely much at all, AND just for 20% of the freedom of the Vive, I get to pay for a 3rd sensor? All for a wonderfully locked down, facebook controlled DRM-filled experience? Well sign me up! ... for never buying this thing ever. What a POS.
    The HTC Vive has won the "VR war". It's over. Deal with it.

    • @cosmicdave3459
      @cosmicdave3459 7 лет назад +10

      no, you misunderstood that part dude. Also, many have said 2 sensors is all you really need. almost all standing vr games are designed so you don't need to turn around, it all in front of you.

    • @AgusSimoncelli
      @AgusSimoncelli 7 лет назад +17

      Your totally misunderstood the whole thing.
      2 sensors= you can either play standing , but you can't turn around, or play sited and turn around
      3 sensors= full range of motion, but with a smaller area than the Vibe (which could be good if you live in a small department, or bad if you actually have the space and want to use it)
      4 sensors= exactly the same experience as Vive

    • @NneonNTJ
      @NneonNTJ 7 лет назад +17

      cosmic dave, i dont know what games you played, but while playing on my vive im constantly turning around, what are you gonna do when an enemy shows up behind? shoot blindly over your shoulder?
      dont think so, take a turn around the corner? oh wait i cant...
      the best vr experience is vive handsdown, its amazing how some rift users keep trying to boost the rift :S

    • @vespaman101
      @vespaman101 7 лет назад +6

      no...dumbass... you get the same tracking with the rift with two sensors and the price now is identical. The vive only comes with two sensors as well.

    • @vespaman101
      @vespaman101 7 лет назад +8

      what are you talking about? The rift is room scale capable but a lot of the games are focused on standing. but you can do room scale if u want and a lot of room scale games will support both. but i'll enjoy using the standing experience of rift in my small room and doing vive in the living room. Problem is i have to take my pc in my living room to use vive.

  • @RinkanFinkan
    @RinkanFinkan 7 лет назад +149

    It's really interesting with this completely new platform of gaming, the standards haven't been set and that's what i love!
    For both computer and console gaming we have standards of how you play, controller/mouse + keyboard and also all genres often have very similar ways to play and controls.
    Almost all VR games handle differently, some games try Uis, some try having a backpack you grab behind your back, some try teleporting, etc.
    It's going to be really interesting to see how the VR platform developes in the future

      Misael Cifuentes its a really bad deal if you have to buy the controllers separately for $200 (last time i checked) and another camera to move around in your room for $80 more totaling to $880 which is $80 more than the vive. I got the vive $100 off so it makes it an even better deal.

    Watching these old Rift and Vive videos made me realise why this channel stopped following VR properly for a little while. Its because these kinds of videos were always Luke's pet thing, and with him gone doing Floatplane nobody else at LTT was really ever going to step in in the same capacity. It was only with the Valve Index and HL:Alyx that Linus and the rest saw something genuinely interesting coming out of VR and that there was an audience for it and that's why we then got content on things like the Rift S and Quest long overdue.

      Proof? Vive has working wireless capabilities, software compatibility with steam vr is better on the vive since Valve and HTC have partnered, touchpads allow for faster and more accurate movement, vive is better out of the box, vive have better tracking area, vive tracking method is more accurate and responsive to rift. And you're goona say that rift is better cause its smaller and has a smoother look? No, don't judge a book by its cover, I rather have a better performing headset then a mediocre one that LOOKS fancy and doesnt have the oomph to back it up.

      AA batteries can be rechargeable. They're also better than having an integral battery - you can swap the batteries out for freshly charged ones in a few seconds, thanks to the fantastic magnetic battery compartment cover. If the battery was internal and your Touch controllers ran flat, you'd have to wait for them to recharge. I far prefer having removable batteries.

      The screen is very very similar to rift and vive. Rift and vive have 20% higher resolution but uses a Pentile matrix (50% less subpixels) then the PSVR which uses a full RGB matrix.
      SO in the end, the image quality is almost the same on all 3

    Why doesn't anyone bring up in these reviews that you have to ally with Innovative Online Industries (Facebook), and they will own all your games and your soul in their little walled garden of shifty ethics, if you buy the Rift and games on Oculus Home? What happens when nVidia or AMD produces the next great VR HMD? Nothing if you own a Vive, as HTC isn't your life partner, and you can just jump ship. But if you own a Rift, well, you're at their mercy if they will continue to allow Steam to wrap their SDK, or whatever little spats and tantrums they feel like throwing. They already love exclusives ...who knows what else is in store? Would you buy a Dell Monitor (at price equal to it's competitors, no less), if Dell wanted you to buy all your PC software from Dell too to use on that monitor in perpetuity, and threaten to not allow that software to run on any other monitor?

      I just got one, and I love it for Subnautica and Elite: Dangerous. That said, I find the sensors cables are way too short for setting up a play space; I could barely snake them around the confines of my large computer desk. Also, when arranged at my PC in this fashion, the setup would not proceed because the sensors are too close. All in all definitely not a good set up experience, not to mention the technical troubles I've experienced with installing it. (USB devices like webcam and Xbox controller malfunction, PC crashes when I reboot [memory exception errors]) Still, after the things I've played in VR, I won't take it back. Spent another $150.00 on cables and an extra sensor to set up a play space, and hopefully it goes off without a hitch.

    Some things that were not pointed out in the video: It's still cheaper and more efficient to get room scale with the VIVE. Oculus + the touch controllers are $800 + $80 if you want to move around more but still less than the VIVE. The VIVE has also been out for much longer meaning it has more games and it's cheaper to buy since you can find them used. Another aspect not mentioned is that the cameras for the Oculus need to be plugged into your computer. This means that if you want to plug in more cameras, there will be more wires going across your room and more ports on your PC used up. The tracking can also be wonky since the cameras are typically placed at waist height on tables. This means that you cannot go prone or you will lose tracking from the cameras. The Oculus's controllers are still impressive but if you want the same room scale experience as the VIVE, you may be disappointed.

    I recently Bought Oculus Rift because it is on sale for $400s. I don't think Rift is doing bad, I do believe the sale is being done to make up for lost time since they didn't have touch controls on release. They lost a lot of ground with not having them on release. I do know A lot of people have bought the rift now because of the sale. Let's be honest here, 800 dollars is too much for new tech in my opinion. Now I haven't personally tried Vive but I don't think I will since all my friends just bought the Oculus because of the sale.

    • @PoisonedAl
      @PoisonedAl 7 лет назад +6

      Completely different systems. You would need both types of "sensor" for it to work. The Vive is like the Wii. That "sensor bar" the Wii had was just two LEDs. All the sensors were on the controller that looked for the IR lights. Rift is like the PS move. The camera watches you and the controller just has pretty lights on it.

    • @bladedfruitcake
      @bladedfruitcake 7 лет назад +1

      it's not even difficult to do. unreal engine 4 for example just calls them both "motion controllers' and you map them out the same way. Gunna be honest though, the tracking for the oculus controllers is wonky and not comfortable to develop around. I personally want tracking points on more than just the controllers now. I want bands for arms legs and clips for shoes. I could do so much with that....

    oculus is almost half price, comes with 3 sensors instead of 2, comes with wireless xbox controller, better looking everything, better hand controllers, only 1 cable from pc to headset, built in headphones and microphone, it's made of fabric instead of plastic so you don't get warm, it's half the weight and it has better game support.
    I really don't see why anyone would buy the Vive after the hand controllers came out for the oculus

    • @DJHeroMasta
      @DJHeroMasta 6 лет назад +11

      1 month later and everything you said is pretty much now false. The Vive's currently $600 and the Rift's $400. Yes, the Vive only comes with 2x sensors cause that's all you need. The Rift comes with 2x sensors as well but a 3rd is highly recommended for room scale. The Touch Controllers are better ergonomically but require batteries. Valve has their "Touch" controllers in the works known as "Knuckles". They too have sensors but theirs track individual finger placement. Both the Vive and Rift have 1x cable that runs from the headset to the PC, as well as a built-in mic and included headphones/earphones. The Rift is no longer lighter than the Vive as they both weigh a little over 1lb (1.036lbs / 16.576 ounces to be exact). "has better game support" where'd you get that from? Both platforms have their "exclusives" but both can be played on either platform with the help of software such as Revive and Steam (Steam supports the Rift). Personally, If I were on a budget, I'd buy a Rift, it's a no-brainer. But, for someone who plans on going mobile/moving their setup around a lot (Taking it to parties, showing it off to friends/family), the Vive's tracking system (2x sensors that only require a single outlet for each) is far less of a hassle than buying USB & HDMI cable extensions for the Rift.
      Semi-Permanent Setup = Rift (3x Sensors)
      Less Setup Time = Vive = (2x Sensors)
      Now, if the Oculus came out with a Rift 1.1 that had "wireless" tracking similar to the Vive's tracking, for the same price ($400). Then, I'd have a very hard time justifying the purchase of a Vive. But you also gotta take future peripherals into account....that's a whole nother topic though.

    • @DJHeroMasta
      @DJHeroMasta 6 лет назад +2

      And you got that information from where? How do you figure people are using the *current* Knuckles?
      "The Knuckle controllers will work with all existing hardware. Like the original wands, Knuckle controllers are compatible with any revision of the HTC Vive headset and use the same base stations for tracking. If you have your hands on a pair of these new controllers, all you have to do to pair them is run through the normal Pair Controller setup in the Devices menu of SteamVR."

Usually, I see videos praising one system and trashing the other to get people to validate their own choices, but this provided information on the aspect being discussed while also adding relevant information about the other system and drew a conclusion based on the information provided. You my good sir, are excellent at objective comparisons.
