alibongo Posted October 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm seriously thing of getting a VR headset (actually, I will). It seems there are 2 main players, one about £200 more than the other, but the more expensive one is better than Oculus rift. Does anyone on this forum have any experience of these?

Taun Posted October 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) I have an Oculous Rift set and I play around with it now and again... I don't play any games on it yet (I'm too lazy to mess with changing too many controller and graphic configurations), but the packaged programs with it (sightseeing stuff, some 3d models of buildings etc) are pretty cool... However, I've noticed that about an hour is all I want to handle at a time - mainly because the headset gets rather warm around my forehead - the Oculous has all of its heavy duty circuitry in the headset itself - and it tends to get warm, not hot - but noticeable... I originally got it to play Elite Dangeroous on - but the game has ticked me off because everybody wants to be a fricken pirate and every time I play for more than a few minutes I get jumped by some buttheads that have nothing better to do all day than tick me off... Also, a friend of mine is very prone to motion sickness and the Oculous does not bother her in the least - so it's a very smooth system with no latency problems...

Hmmm, this has piqued my interest now, I have similar problems. But, because I'm being quite silly tonight: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted October 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2016 When the bugs are worked out and I can get a really good flight sim, I'll buy in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibongo Posted October 11, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I have read that Bethesda is working with HTC Vive to bring out FO4 in VR. How cool is that- not just roam the Commonwealth landscape, but live in it! I'll hang on just a little while longer, but it seems Hive is going to be the winner ( a bit like Betamax vs VHS, the winner will not be the best system, but the best supported system.

As a person who's been gaming all his life(srs started with Super Mario World at Age 4) up until now this line scares me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightgale Posted October 13, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just now, alibongo said: What's wrong with wanting to live in the Commonwealth? Everything just everything. Trust me it just gives me nightmares being srs for a second. I'm just getting over being a gaming addict, and I always vowed I'd never do VR when I first started hearing about it. I'm personally not going to stop you of course, but I just say you, and people posting here might be able to control it, and not get messed up, but I really just see some legit problems brewing here with this honestly. Not to hijack the thread, and be a debbie downer, but just legit concerns is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now got the DLC, and the game is nagging me to go to Nuka world and Far Harbour, but just right now, me and Piper are happy to continue shooting up super muties and trade their stuff in Diamond City. I feel guilty about jilting Cait, and I shamelessly led Nick on to get his hacking perk, but it is just a game, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabsx Posted October 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Virtual reality will have to grow much more for me to get interested into it, right now it's pretty much mediocre in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
