I’m not exactly sure what the difference with Cardboard is (as nothing on Cardboard has ever made me sick either, but I’ve felt it in PsVR), but I’d have to assume it’s from the significantly less pronounced 3D, field of view, depth of field, etc...

The difference in them is immediately apparent if you wear glasses…

I never suggested comparing his level of celebrity to hers...

I agree he doesn’t have the world-wide renown of a Kardashian, but I’d certainly consider him as “A-list” as any internet personality could possibly be... He is consistently listed in the top influencers and is I believe the hands-down, highest earner on…

I agree; I don’t bother in 99.9% of cases, but I still don’t understand the concerted push to stop people from doing so. There’s no risk to the end-consumer whatsoever. You want out, you cancel it, end of story...

Granted, in large numbers you could falsely inflate the projected sales of a title and cause some trouble…

I’m sure there is a “first!” mentality to it for some people, but I could see real use-case for it too...

Games usually release on Tuesdays, and I work 60+ hours during the week. If you said to me, “Hey, sign a non-binding, easily cancelled contract to purchase this game, and I’ll let you play it the weekend prior to…

Um, apart from a much lower barrier to entry, what’s the difference between YouTube and TV, radio, movies, books, etc? There’s “crap” that’s risen to the top in every medium...

I don’t personally have any interest in his content, but I put him on the same level as a Kim Kardashian... IE, someone who offers nothing that…

Hah, I would not hold my breath on that... Was just discussing this with somebody else, but from everything I’ve read, if it’s possible at all, it’s going to take a Herculean effort and a whole lot of time.

Even beyond drivers, you’d need an adapter for the camera, firmware updates, some interpreters or apps to sit…

This isn’t a sleight on the hardware, because I think it’s fantastic and I have had nothing but a super-positive experience with it so far, but even as someone who loves VR and is crazy excited about this thing... I gotta say no.

For starters, it’s $500+ to actually get the full VR experience with it, before you even…

My expectations were set pretty dang low after seeing that review, and I must say, the system has more than exceeded what I was hoping it was capable of. I’ve never used a Vive (which is where I suspect the negative comparison/reactions are actually coming from), but I’ve tried every other VR technology made in the…

The VR functionality is exclusive to the console. The display in the headset can be hooked to anything, but you lose all tracking, configuration, etc...

You can display a HDMI signal on the screen, but that’s it. You can’t adjust the image, reset the view, or utilize any of the tracking or 360 viewing stuff...

At that point it’s just a simple HMD (albeit with a nice display), which have been on the market for decades...

It would require serious effort... It’s theoretically possible assuming the breakout box itself isn’t a major hurdle, but you’re talking software, firmware, and driver updates on several pieces of hardware, a physical adapter for the camera, some interpreter/application to convert all the tracking/motion to something…

I haven’t tried laying down specifically, but I’m pretty sure you could do that with PsVR, so long as it was hooked to the Ps4 at the time. You’d just lie down, and then re-center the view.

And you don’t have to turn your head to see the edges of the screen, it “projects” the whole thing a good distance in front of…

Hah, I really, sincerely doubt that. It’s theoretically possible, but a whole lot of worlds would have to come together for that to happen, and I just don’t see there being a major impetus for it...

You’d need a physical adapter and a firmware/driver update to get the Camera to work on PC... Or someone to write…

The even stranger thing is, according to what I’ve heard from several other outlets, there have been improvements to most user’s impressions of the accuracy in the week since they posted this... Sony released some updated tips on how to best configure your room, lighting, distance, etc... since the review-builds went…

You can’t use the head-tracking of the unit with Non-VR titles as a “second analog stick”, but you can use the headset as a display device regardless of the content... As in, any video content can be watched, and any game can be played wearing the headset, it just won’t utilize any of the tracking of the head (or…

I know this comment is a week old, but I gotta ask.... What does the Pro have to do with it?

All the issues I’ve seen talked about were with the tracking... the limitations imposed on it by being strictly (light) camera-based, and the jittery nature of the results given the older tech of the Move and PSCamera...…

The difference is that motion control was specifically centered around gaming, as where gaming is only one piece of VR... The other applications for this tech are super-interesting, especially once we’re a few iterations in, costs significantly decrease, and these things are just wirelessly streaming into a pair of…

The hiccups have nothing to do with the power of the console, so, basically, no.

The problems are the tracking (and jitter) from using the camera and the move controllers, which are just not as precise to target as Vive/Oculus controllers are, and way more picky about the environment they are in, especially when it…

Yeah, not sure I’d call it “bold” really... We all knew this was going to be incremental hardware, and we are still looking at the very first wave...

I’m sure people holding $200+ worth of Vive controllers looked at this and groaned, but some of them also probably went, “Eff Yeah! Gimmie that better version!” This is…

There are wireless headsets now (GearVR and Cardboard both offer perfectly functional wireless VR experiences), and they’re already developing Fallout VR (Vive I believe), but it’s not what you think it is (it’s a much more slimmed-down experience), and to echo Ka Mai, you wouldn’t want that anyway...
