Getting a HTC Vive would actually force me to keep my room clean so I could move around. Is it worth it?

[@almostbauws1845]

+The Demonmit yes

[@UntitledGameShow]

yep!

[@hughmongous2554]

+The Demonmit Totally. And you're right, my room is so much cleaner since I got it. Well, at least my playspace is.

[@UntitledGameShow]

+Felix Andersen Same here. I have keep the playspace clear if want take full advantage of it.

[@PolloliciousGaming]

+The Demonmit i say yes but wait a little longer. I have the vive but currently, there's not a lot to play. Sure a lot of people may argue that there are many games to play but from what i have experienced, most of the current games are still in development or are short experiences. In conclusion yes you should buy it because room scale VR is freaking awesome, but i suggest you wait.

[@TechWeLove]

It's funny that people mention it, but my brother had to finally clean his room for the HTC VIVE. PC GAMING does make you a better person afterall :P He made his room like from 1 to a 100 on the clean scale. It is quite impressive what you can do, when you are properly motivated by video games : )

[@coinsagE46m3]

+Demagogue VR: It Will Get You To Clean Your Room.That's just catchy.

[@TriggeredWorkz]

[@ARcinder]

not only did it get me to clean my room. but move all the furniture around.

[@TechWeLove]

HTC / Rift should get together, or seperately for a Christmas T.V. AD campaign, with a scene where the girl/boy/both have messy rooms, with no reason to clean it, and then mom/dad comes in with a VR set, and says, now you do, but how are you going to play it, with the room the way it is now, and then showing the room spotless, with all those Japanese shining stars everywhere in the room : ) Of course a more refined version of what I just described, that's just a template for the start. : P

[@PolloliciousGaming]

+Demagogue very true, i clean my room everyday because of the vive.

[@JPG126]

Had my Vive for 2 weeks now.... it's incredible. A piece of tech that totally amazes anyone of any age, gender or interests, is definitely worth the hype. Everyone Ive demo'd it to goes through the same experience - from total skepticism to being 'blown away' as soon as they take their first step in VR. Good job Valve and HTC. EDIT: Though I share almost every opinion with Luke, I think his conclusion is a little off. If you're interested in VR and have the cash, then you should totally go for it. Early adopters are the ones that will shape the future of VR for everyone. If no one buys now, then all the people who choose to wait, will end up waiting for something that won't exist.

[@Helltech]

[@JPG126]

+john diasco - Surprisingly, you dont need much space at all for most games. Obviously the more space, the better really, but you dont NEED it. 2mx2m is more than enough (approx 7ftx7ft), so any more than that is a bonus.

[@JPG126]

***** - Yeah, when it comes to a purchase like this, the more info you can get, the better! The Vive subreddit is a great place to start :)

[@UntitledGameShow]

+john diasco Yeah Jpg gives great info, 2m x 2m seem fit most games I have played and I have bulit up a good library of vr game so far. I have videos showing my play space if want an example.

[@aaron4820]

Yeah pretty much every weekend since mid April has been a VR demo at my place, even took it to work at one point. Seeing people in Vive for the first time is amazing every time...

[@TheVillainCity]

+Zachariah Demos dude cardboard sucks for porn. use the rift with the master bator 3000 for immense pleasure

[@charliefrench2oo8]

+DucksExist Gear VR works well for it. (I have GearVR, Rift and Vive)

[@sasca854]

+DucksExist VR porn fucking sucks. It's the same 2D shit, just with head tracking and a slight parallax effect. The low pixel density of current VR tech makes it a blurry mess, and not in a good way.

[@RaidenFreeman]

Ye these cables are indeed really cool. If the Vive didn't need so much space, I'd stop eating to buy one...

[@EVPointMaster]

the vive itself doesn't require much space, each game has a "recommended play area"

[@richkng]

+EVPointMaster I have a Vive, but more space is always better. I find my own 2mx3m small after having played in 5mx5m once.

[@Karavusk]

+RaidenFreeman You can play while sitting in a chair too. Only because you CAN use 5m x 5m or even more doesnt mean you have to use it. Many games are great while sitting too.

[@richkng]

Ofcourse you can, I just don't stay engaged while sitting unless I am playing euro truck simulator or elite. After a short sitting session I just want to stand up and walk, do stuff. Sitting feels passive. Actually the biggest drawback of VR right now is that every normal game I play on a normal screen feels passive now.

[@giin97]

+Richard Bleek I'm the opposite. Give me an input interface, and I'll leave my body behind. Require me to move and I lose interest, as I can no longer immerse myself in the game world.

[@SadlyItsBradley]

Very nice video, as always, guys. I think your ending opinion on whether people should get a Vive is spot on. Also, Luke: your passion for VR is wonderful. Hope to see you do more stuff in the virtual world.

[@3rdHalf1]

How far the Vive's cable can handle signal? Personally, it think, that it would be a good idea, to have the cable attached to ceiling and having some kind of lite tension mechanism, to avoid too much slack. This way, it could be used by a single person, without other guiding cables. Only drawback to this idea would be, that bigger play area you want to have - the higher ceiling would have...

[@k9521__]

3rdHalf they have a thing to attach the cable to the ceiling

[@LeondsForge]

Just wanted to say I love they way you present the information in this video. You put forward your opinions but also try and stay nonpartisan when it comes to your recommendations. Even the ad space ad the end for the cables was well done and didn't make me hate the fact that there was a sponsored ad in the video. Great job! I will be looking forward to more of your videos!

[@Ryan-ep8yu]

I love the vive. If you tried it then you realize its a brand new experience that can really make you feel you're in another world. Monitor games don't even feel the same anymore.

[@TheLotw]

Well I bought the Vive, it came about 1 months after and I have been playing it for almost a week straight. Its pretty good even though there are some downsides to it (Oculus has the same problems). The main problem is people, we all know them, the ones that think graphics are the beat all solution and looking at the high PC specs and seeing the lower res in the screens (Both on the Vive and Oculus) you hear them complain about needed 4k, just clear enough. Ok, where is the CPU/GPU combo that can run that right now?These are the best we are going to get for a while, till better CPU/GPUs come out. Even the new GTX1080 still wont be able to push 4k video to these types of headsets.Plus once you get into the game, you forget all about that stuff. I have found myself (and friends) trying to put their hands on counter, walls, etc that aren't there. Now that is immersion...-

[@gunganza934]

I got a vive recently myself. It's very interesting and offers a lot of cool stuff.

HOWEVER if you have the money and a higher tier rig already then i definetly reccomend it.

[@hkoizumi3134]

I am getting vive rather than oculus. I have both DK1 and DK2 which I have been using on and off for years. The number one issue with the Oculus is the motion sickness. If you are prone to be sick while in a car reading a book then you will most likely have this issue. A lot of people think that first person shooter or horror is the logical games to try but it's actually simulators are the best experience for me so far. Not only it simulates the cockpit, since you are moving in relative to seating, it's easy on the sickness. This is why I am getting vive. The movement is based on your actual body rather than joystick movement. And the game being designed are actually looking well.

[@Tigerhawk71]

Once the Touch comes out (which gives Rift similar room scale and hand tracking in addition to GESTURE tracking) you need to run another poll. Or make another ad video.

[@Ohmycapitan]

Microsoft stores around the country have, and are continuing to open HTC Vive demos in-store. Austin, TX is one of them, and they have a list online of which have them, and which will have them in the future. Go check it out for free!

[@Dashrendar2507]

For me it's quite simple : The Vive has controllers and that completely changed everything. You've seen what games like office simulator and such can do. You can't do that on a Rift. Vive is not just a gimballed camera, it's literally virtual interaction.

[@HammaneggsAirborne]

I have the room, but heavily upgrading my rig after getting the Vive would break the bank. So far, the games that I would buy at their current price would be Space Pirate trainer, which I tried in a demo, and Tiltbrush. I would definitely use it as VR gets implemented to simulators that I own such as Elite: Dangerous and Rise of Flight.

[@killer008r]

you made setting up the Vive seem a lot more complicated than it really is. You don't need to use measuring tape. I hooked it up at my hotel, I just put one light tower on one corner and the other light Tower in the other Corner, started the program up Kama calibrated the room and it was good to go. It doesn't take a lot of thought.

[@ItzPrio]

Best setup for the Vive would be have the wire attached to the ceiling, and have the sensors wall mounted in a max size room. Would be dope af

[@yaseen157]

That's funny, because after the CES tech demo with the reversible cables, I bought some 2 meter cables which I love, from a company called BlitzWolf. The cables also come braided, come in many colours, are twice the length of the silverstone ones, come with 18 month warranty, and almost half the price! Fancy that, the high end prosumer company wants to sell an overpriced cable, because you're pretty much paying for the name... I'm not trying to advertise here (although it sounds like it), but if you're really interested in a reversible cable, shopping around never hurts.

[@johnjackson4945]

Just wanted to say the htc vive is probably one of the best investments I have ever made. I own the msi gt72s dominator pro g, 980m, no op;timus, and it runs the vive like a dream. No framerate drops or stutters in my games. It is truly magical. Playing games like elite dangerous, dcs world, and hoverjunkers with latency free experiences is amazing.

[@kurousagi1339]

I'm hoping for some great games and integration with existing games - especially racing like Dirt Rally which are my taste in gaming. I just wanted to be part of the future really! Thanks LTT and especially Luke for some great coverage so far.

[@zaidaljubouri2238]

Im pretty sure these will be available in arcade style, i.e arcade place have several of them in big rooms and you can pay to play untill you die or whatever. This is the only way it will be affordable for most of us. It will also revive arcade centers which is cool

I think I want one with better resoultion so I can read text in-game. Game chat and text boxes. Least to a reasonable degree. Built in eyetracking would also be nice. Not overly concerned about the prices.

[@divine0enigma]

After owning one of these for a few months, buyers remorse has start to set in. It's cool, but the fun little indie games run their course (Audioshield, The Lab, Job Simulator, etc) and the "good" games either don't have a big enough community to reliably play good multiplayer (Hover Junkers, Elite Dangerous) , or just aren't worth the price tag (EVE Valkyrie, Project Cars). I don't know whether I should sell off my Vive, or hope that it it doesn't die off and developers start putting out better games.

[@SirBilliam96]

As a proud Rift owner, I can say that I am very happy with my purchase. That being said, I would really love to have a Vive, but unfortunately the space requirements prevent me from doing so. Full immersion VR is really fucking cool to me, and is technically superior to the Rift's VR, but you you have to remember that not everyone will be able to use it. The Rift is still able to provide an excellent VR experience, even without the motion controllers. They certainly did not skip out on build quality either, as everything from the packaging to the actual headset is very sturdy. Overall, if someone were to ask me which one to buy, I would simply have to tell them that it would be up to their budget and whether or not they are able to dedicate the space (and time) to using the Vive. Why hate on either though? They occupy their own niches in the market. Let's all just calm down and have fun with VR!

[@montgomerybojangles8644]

Dear Silverstone, I usually skip the ad sponsored content but Linus said "wait" three times.

[@VarietyGamerChannel]

Vive owner here. Should you buy one? If you have the money, or means with which to purchase without breaking the budget-YES! It should not even require deliberation in that context. If you're strapped for cash, wait. Get it when it is cheaper. There will be more games by then and they will be cheaper too. The first time you fire up space pirate trainer-it is over, you WILL be assimilated into the VR collective. None can resist, in fact; resistance is futile. You don't need a big space at all, that said the bigger the better. Mine is 4m x 3m, holodeck padded floor, base stations are beyond recommended range yet no tracking issues. It is the most amazing piece of tech I have ever bought and I've been buying consoles and tech doodads since the 80's.

Really Informative, I appreciate the coverage as its difficult early on to review VR tech or any new wave form of tech.

[@Kolop315]

My friend has a vive, and the only games i've enjoyed enough to buy myself was audioshield and hoverjunkers. Two games did not convince me to make an $800 purchase so its a hold off buying for now. Maybe when there are more complete games out there.

3:17 very entertaining. well played.

[@saldebo]

yep sharing the experience with family and friends is the best. I have both and Rift without the remotes just cant compare. Its obvious that if you don't have money don't get one.... If you cant pay your bills then you should have a pc that can play it too.

A fly landed on Linus's head at the end of the Silverstone ad. Lol

[@UrvineSpiegel]

Vive should really look into a wall or cealing mount cable pulley to keep the cable out of the play field. every time I see a demo, there is some guy keeping the cable out of the way.

8:48 - a fly lands on Linus' head.

Owning a vive, I have to say that I love it, its accurate, I don't get motion sickness with it [But I don't get it with anything, really] It has a number of interesting titles, and the controllers are badass but I have to say, the one thing making me consider selling it is the resolution. It's frankly a sea of pixels at times, and i wouldn't imagine the Rift is any different, due to the same subpixel setup, and similar optics. If you care about resolution at all, I would suggest holding off on it until you have the chance to test it yourself

[@snelpiller]

The framerate from the vive, is that because of recording or was it really that choppy?

[@snelpiller]

+snelpiller Im sorry, I just noticed the * saying it's higher framerate

[@LargeBanana]

+snelpiller how the fuck did you just notice that?

[@NoIfsAndsOrButtsCA]

+snelpiller All VR runs at 90fps minimum, any choppiness is the result of poor recording.

[@LargeBanana]

NoIfsAndsOrButtsCA and you, why the fuck are you explaining things that he said he already noticed.

[@DG2assassin]

+NoIfsAndsOrButtsCA yea no. Frame rate is what the GPU is able to pump out. The headset is nothing but a monitor that has a refresh rate of 90 hz.

[@quadmas]

I definitely will go for the VIVE....btw nice Fjällräven pants, I want those too!

[@PigeonSwag]

Liked solely based on the noise made at 8:59
