Is the HTC Vive worth it?

[@Jayztwocents]

Let me clarify something.... I PURCHASED this VIVE as well as "A Chair in a Room" - this is NOT a sponsored video. It's funny how showing a trailer for an indie game triggers so many haters thinking that this is paid marketing when the only flow of money was from ME to THEM!

[@vitaobatera]

Should we expect benchmarks soon ?

[@cyb3ar897]

People on KZbin are idiots, Jay. Especially given that if a video is sponsored, KZbinrs are REQUIRED to list that it is sponsored. So, yeah, people are dumb.

11:59 thats the problem of telling people about VR its not the same as you see when watching someone playing it . So they watch a youtube video and think its a shit gimmick . I had family over to try my VR and they where watching me and some others play VR . Most people said things like "why are you over reacting" it cant be that good " . They cant believe that pepple are actually scared of horror games or confused why pepple are reacting so much to a fake game . But then when they have a turn inside the vr headset they instantly underatand the magic of it. Its my favourite thing to witness someone going from thinking " this doesent look that good why is he exaggerating " to playing it themselves and saying outloud fucking hell this alot better then it looked on the PC screen now i get it.

The vive is worth every penny, even if you have to get a high end pc to run it. Dont regret buying it. Never hat this much fun.

[@Epimpin101]

Do you get motion sickness from it?

[@chrisbraeuer9476]

+joe momma you only get motion sick if you dont reach 90fps. Get a 1080 and have the fun of your life.

[@BBROPHOTO]

Not true, I'm using a 1080Ti with my Vive and you get motion sickness from your brain not being able to make sense of the motion. You need static things in your peripheral vision and or limit your FOV of the motion to help with this. That's why driving games in first person can make you feel sick. Google Earth does a good job at demoing a good 'comfort mode' on limiting the FOV.

[@chrisbraeuer9476]

If you are talking about the racing games. Projekt Cars for example has a horrible VR mode. Its locked at 60 fps. And sometimes it reprojekts 30fps to 60. The stuttering makes you sick. I have build an immense tolerance to it so i can play almost everything but its not fun this way. If a VRgame does not reach contant 90fps you cant even count it as a vr game. I have also a high end system.

[@bayybars]

Chris Braeuer Would you say the same now that you’ve had it for a year? I’m hearing many mixed feelings about it, but I’d like to get one if it’s worth it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Combatsmithen]

Once the price of VR like the Vive reaches the 300-400 dollar range it will become more mainstream in the gaming world.

[@thezipper359]

Problem is not just the vive price but also the price u have to pay to get a gaming rig powerfull enugh to run the vive :/

[@TheBomber15]

In fairness to Sony, they've been doing a fairly good job trying to push VR into the mainstream, even if the PSVR is only 2 months in the wild. Hopefully it will encourage more people to become interested in a more high-end setup.

[@xurvis2789]

500 dollas! And still not mainstream

[@cleetose]

@@xurvis2789 Problem is even with the lower price of the headset, you still need a relatively high end PC which makes the total price of entry still very high. And of course not everybody wants to put a massive box on their face. It's going to be a while before any VR tech is really mainstream.

[@ForgetMeToYou]

[@nekomari4231]

When I first put on my Vive I legit cried, I cried right in front of all my siblings and family members because it was so cool and nothing like I had ever seen, and I'm only 15. I don't think it's really the exact number age you are but mostly your relationship to games and the different consoles. I had been playing games since I was a wee lass since my dad was an avid gamer before me and I had saved up so much of my allowance to spend on the steam summer sales, and even built my own computer recently so I hold gaming very closely in my heart, which is why I had such an extreme reaction.

[@apocling]

Ive always wondered why people just dont put an eye hook in the ceiling so the cable is not a trip hazard.

[@miles11we]

I'm a vr enthusiast so it's great to see you doing vr for the channel. The thing about vr is people have to experience it to really understand. The biggest problem with vr imo is locomotion; I'm not sure teleportation is the solution. I'm hoping the Virtuix Omni is sufficient but we're so early it's like we're in the wild west where everyone is trying everything and seeing what works.

Went to visit my brother and he had just received his vive, I've been following VR development (various tech reviews), and was absolutely stunned when I put on the goggles and my brother handed me the controllers; reaching out and grabbing the controllers I was seeing in VR felt really cool. I wish I had the coin to drop on a VR system and VR capable rig.... Spent a looooong time with Longbow, sooo much fun.

[@KYLE-zo4bm]

geez 800 dollars... so much for the rx 480 bringing vr to the masses

[@jakobygames]

Oculus is MUCH cheaper and gear is meh and other headsets are always popping up. also consumer vr is decently new so give it a few years and it will be much more affordable

[@mr.tomatohead5648]

There's a $400 unit coming out with similar specs, but I forgot who is making it. That will make vr $1000 total.

Jay, I've been considering buying the Vive, but I'm worried that if I just wait a little longer we'll be getting more improvements. When do you think a Vive 2 would be released? Or do you even think they need to worry about a 2nd one yet?

[@mr.tomatohead5648]

They're already working on a vive 2. I heard a story the other day that said HTC has a huge team working on it now that they see there's a real demand vr. I don't think they speculated on a release date though. I'm guessing at least 2 years.

[@JackalGYT]

2 - 4 years at least.

[@jakelahue5832]

Also other headsets may come out that are a lot cheaper before the vive 2

[@Mr-R.R.]

+Jake Lahue but as we know, they most likely won't be anything as good as a vive. So i think it's a safe bet to the vive right now

[@zachburke8906]

1 year cycles at a minimum 2 year expected minimum 3,4 years possible. Maybe some minor improvements(like a slim edition or something in a year). But pretty much. I would treat Vr headsets like GPU's if it's more then a month till the new one comes out buy the current gen.

[@ryanp2289]

My father is obsessed with the game Longbow on my HTC Vive, in "The Lab". Oh, and by the way, the Vive's resolution is 2160p by 1440p, with OLEDs. The refresh rate is 90hz. The reason I know so much, is I have been using one for about 2 years, and I got my own about 2 months ago for my 13th birthday.

[@Calin89us]

I watched 3 minutes of the video and then decided to give you people the short version: YES IT'S FUCKING WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have the posibility, GO BUY IT NOW!

VR. Can Skunkworks even max every VR game out?

[@Infaviored]

Depends on what you call Max out. It will defenitely handle textures on ultra, lighting, etc. But nearly no setup can Max out every option like e. G. 16*MSAA

[@KenrickBrown75]

Especially when he switches to the GTX 1080s.

[@lightguy250]

Well the 1080s will preform about the same as the current setup. Most likely better in real world performance because of how much better optimized 2 way sli is compared to 3 way.

[@flaagan]

I was considering getting the Vive this past week... then I realized I didn't want to spend the money (not on it, in general)... then yesterday I looked at how much I've spent *just* at EKWB over the past two months prepping for going dual loop watercooling in my system... and realized I could've easily afforded a Vive with that money. This is your fault, Jay, you're the reason I'm watercooling my new rig, cause you've made the idea so cool and appealing, and you've made enough good information available that I'm even making my own custom reservoir and possibly a dual D5 pump dual loop block.

[@dublin9699]

Really No clever jokes. I was hoping i wasnt too early.

[@paulncnightmare]

Jay. The ability to Supersample the Vive resolution was just enabled. Nobody has been able to get smooth gameplay with 3x and above though. Im sure you've got a rig to do it. Would be awesome if you could run some tests. Running it at 1.5 is a pretty huge difference. Cant image 3x or more. Instructions are on the front page of the Vive Reddit.

It's amazing how you can't explain to people that didn't experience VR how good and amazing it is. With time some of the novelty does wear off - you feel it is too much work to put on the headset, deal with cables etc. But it still amazing and unlike anything you expected, even with crappy graphics, resolution, visible pixels and other weirdness. You just need to try it, to even understand what people mean when they talk about their experience with VR, it just doesn't compare. You need to have something to compare it to. That's why try, try, try.

[@bobanderson2895]

I've had my "HTC VIVE" going all the way back to July 2016 I used it for two weeks, and I've never touched it since, why you ask? Because it's not ready for prime time yet. Here are the 3 main things that need to be improved before I'll ever buy another one of these headsets. Number one, and this is the most important reason, the 1080p resolution isn't good enough. Wait till they bump the resolution up to 4k and change the plastic Fresnel eyepieces to glass otherwise your going to be very disappointed. Number two: the headset is still too heavy their going to have to make them lighter. Number three: They need to figure out a way too cut the cord otherwise you could eventually trip over the cable and wind-up breaking an arm or leg. ^^

[@isaks3243]

i got to try out the vive at a friends house just the other day and i can say that i was pleasently surprised with the experience. the tracking is really smooth and i got absolutely no motionsickness out of it. now i think about burnin all my savings just to upgrade my computer and get a vive. i got to try out the lab and i found a jar with a little guy on the inside. and i was like "aaaww, so freaking cool! look at this guy, he's so freaking cool! i just want to pick up my phone and take a picture."

[@eduardofreitas8336]

Pixel Pirate its pretty noticable. but i dont mind it. because if the vive had the res and pixel density that the image is perfect then even the gtx1080 wasn't powerfull enough for the 90fps i think. vive is still great with the perfect tracked controllers

[@Justfillintheblank]

I just tried the Vive today and i need to stress that the Gear compared to the Vive is merely a "demo" to what virtual reality can really do. Like honestly, the gear is nice and all, but the freedom and immersion that comes with the vive is just MASSIVELY better, there is no comparison really.

I dont want to see VR fail again, and this time i'm not just a kid with dreams, but a man with money and I have done my part so far to keep the VR wheels running. Hopefully the 2 gen of the consumer versions will be cheaper, because i cant wait to game with everyone in VR. Ill be running it on a 980Ti/i7 6700k and hopefully it is as awesome as it looks.

I like how Lil'J is your assistant on this one. While a video sure does not give a feel of VR, seeing how naturally a kid interacts with the VR, it gives more of an impression on how immersive it is.

You guys look really like good, genuine people that's why i really watch only you. Also for the great reviews and stuff of course :D

[@Defx86]

your little one made the vr experience adorable, great video

[@chemicalBR0]

my dad is 76 and when I let him try The Blu on the vive he was like a little kid when the whale came up to the shipwreck he was on it was like he turned into a 7 year old :) he has never been interested in my computers or games, but he absolutely loved everything I showed him on the vive. he even enjoyed the silly stuff like job simulator. the content at the moment is a bit limited tho but thats to be expected as devs get to grips with what they can actually do with VR, they have to completely rethink how games work.

[@kevinbender5839]

Could you do a vr performance review on a couple of different graphics cards? I'm interested to see how everything holds up

[@Hellbeast58-Official]

i have wanted one without touching it, or trying it, just for all the games on steam that have some support, and have wanted one ever since i found out the oculus was taking a shit and people were still having issues with the lag the price is a bit high, but if you think about it, it is replacing a screen, controllers/gamepad, and sound all in one package, not to mention, no need for trackIR in some games, so it's worth the 800 to me at this time, until some of the 144hz monitors come down and you can have surround with 3 of them as i do thank you jay, as always you give an in depth look into products that everyone wants.

Nice one man! I'd love to see some more VR experience vlogs - very helpful! I'm hopefully upgrading from my current PC to a VR capable beast in the next six months or so. I'm not saying what I have now - it's beyond embarrassing. Suffice to say it's going to be like trading in an early 90's VW Golf for a McLaren Spider. Somewhere along that line I anticipate a Vive.

[@WayFastWhitey02]

Jay just imagine the gaming technology when little J is your age.... she'll be talking about the VIVE like you or I talk about the Nintelevision or NES. I for one am excited to see where the industry goes!!

[@runit3]

Thank you for doing this. Been debating the Vive for months.

[@psychoraven102]

The video and audio quality of your videos is really good. Keep it up!

[@koolkat8639]

Games like chair in the room would make me feel crazy after playing it. Especially it feeling so real with the VR effect.

[@ThePolaris87]

Fantastic perspective for anyone considering this product. Thanks for making this video!

[@Aleksandar6ix]

It all depends on what game you're playing. Any title that involved me only moving around myself where my character was stuck within the box I had no problem with....the moment where I had to use my controller to move my character in there, like you would with Tarkov (or whatever it's called) or driving in Project Cars 1, it was instant nausea.

[@canichols2]

This was the first video of yours I've seen. I really enjoyed it. Thx.

[@danzapix]

I already own an HTC Vive myself, was just curious as to what you had to say about it. Turns out, basically everything you said what I've told friends and family. First horror game I played I was roaming around reminding myself "it's just a game" until something happened, and then yeah, I ripped the headset off and was like "NOPE!!!!! NOPE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOPE!!!!!" And that was actually on the Samsung Gear VR which I got a week before I got the Vive. I have A Chair in a Room, but I've yet poke it. I keep saying "NOPE!" First racing game I played was Project CARS, and it was the first time in my adult life (I'm nearly 37), or rather since having a drivers license, that I was able to appreciate a driving/racing game. There's just been no comparison to the real thing, and driving a Subaru WRX that I also modded, I know just how fun a real car can be. That Nissan shirt you were wearing tells me you might agree. Then I picked up DIRT Rally and used Revive to play it. Immediately bought a new wheel and got my first cockpit. $800 extra for a racing game on top of the $800 Vive on top of the PC I have. That's how amazing I found my initial experience with DIRT Rally. So like you said, it gets crazy expensive. Worth it? Yeah, depends on the person. Costs less than a serious hobby involving a real car though! Lastly, my old man is 68, and when I showed him the Gear VR he said it's the coolest technology he's ever seen. So yeah, I find it depressing that kids these days will lack the amazement we see. I get it, it makes sense, but it's still depressing! Anyway, if you read all that (Zapix's seriously long posts), thanks for your time!

[@danzapix]

Ya know, I just googled for the hell of it... I don't know why, but before even seeing the shirt, you seemed like a 350Z kind of guy! Seems I was right!

[@SneakyKittyGameDev]

i would like to see a performance comparison between your titan x, and the 1080 in both a non vr title, and a vr title to see the gain the new pascal cards have in VR

[@wademathews8251]

Thank you so much for this video Jay. I've been very interested in VR but I also am extremely sensitive to 3d and it takes about 30 seconds of 3d for me to get a migraine. I definitely look forward to more info about VR setups and games.

[@karras6239]

Using the children to not see you doing weird stuff with the headset was clever. I also agree with that. I had early gens of HMD, and back then even with 640x480 single display interpolated, with like 30° of view and 200ms+ of lag was amazing because of the 3d and "motion tracking, now with no lag, and 100°+ of view its amazing, but some people (mostly kids) call it a gimmick because they were used to them.
