I think he was fair. he didn't like the product, and expressed his reasons. he didn't expect improvement but checked it out again anyway and was honest that the company had made major bounds in improving the product.

[@VirusOfCyrus]

OMG! He is the single most DISHONEST human to ever live! I mean to hear him talk about the HTC Vive (not even the pro model) being good in this video made me throw up a lil in my mouth after finding out that he is ONLY a "Paid" reviewer! Meaning he will NOT review anything with a "positive" review unless paid many, many thousands of dollars, which also means IF he does a review & the company did "Not" pay him or send him a Free version of the item (for him to also KEEP forever) he will give it the most negative review humanly possible! Just look at what he did to the Vive "Pro" video! ALL because HTC did not send him one to KEEP for Free! He literally said it was garbage, & as I have owned an Oculus, the original Vive & now the Vive Pro I know for a fact it is "Twice" as good as the original Vive & ANY other VR HMD you can buy! He told Everyone thinking about buying the Vive Pro that it was total garbage & luckily I had already bought one & I was lucky enough to know some not too happy people that have sent him products b4 (which he reviewed positively once paid $12,000!) so I knew what a lying piece of human garbage his entire channel is. I get so pissed off to see a comment like yours of poor clueless "victims" that have no idea of the truth, to me it feels exactly the same as if I saw people saying what a lovely, kind, caring guy Adolf Hitler is, thats no exageration either, as far as "tech" & lying for money goes, Linus is Hitler. Its sickening.

[@Anipixelz]

@@VirusOfCyrus Linus has been very honest about how he's on KZbin as a business but also your some of statements are factually wrong he's given good reviews to things he didn't get to keep before, like the small really cool tower PC he wasn't aloud to keep. He's been sponsored by Nvidia but has still shit talked them. So that's two things going against both of your statements. Him saying things are bad that he doesn't get paid for or get to keep and him saying it's good when he's paid. He's literally done the opposite of both of these things many times. It genuinely seems like you are just upset about the vive pro review but even in that review he mainly said it just wasn't a big enough leap forward for the price. Also vive pro and vive Cosmo are shitty rip offs, like I'm glad you like it and all but that doesn't change how shit they are for value objectively when you look at what your getting for the money. Idk man you just have a hate boner you have made lots of comments like this, really reminds me of a Mormon or someshit you think your spreading the truth and saving people but it's really just all bs, who cares if Linus is good or bad, one things for sure he's pretty fuckin honest, owning up to embarrassing mistakes like when he got something hugely wrong about Sony, owning up to mistakes in general, being truthful about how things work and how he makes money, I mean you see most of this stuff in his streams and the wan show. Don't worry your aren't witnessing a horrible atrocity against mankind here, obviously comparing Linus to Hitler is just insane and combine that with your false righteousness it really reminds me of a child or someone like Chris chan, Man sorry that you feel like your precious vive pro that you bought is being threatened, it's clear that's the driving force behind this and isn't you being righteous.

[@sirscorpio8220]

Virus Of Cyrus you’re actually joking. You do realize that the Vive Pro is around $1500. Not everyone is made of money. The Vive Pro is actually GOOD! And even Linus said that. But for one, the Valve Index has a better FOV, a better refresh rate, better sub-pixels, better audio solution, better comfort, better controllers, better cameras, better tracking, a better microphone, and better build quality. The Vive Pro is practically the EXACT same as the og Vive, besides a slightly higher resolution, and being 2x the price as the og. Linus was not mad that he had to send it back. Just a little disappointed at first because he was excited to try it. It’s obvious that you bought a Vive Pro because you didn’t do enough research at first, then came across all the terrible reviews and didn’t want to return it. Now you’re trying to shut down everyone that said it was shit even though all your facts are entirely false and biased. Linus said something along the lines of “I do have to return this, but I do not see myself buying this to replace my original Vive.” You wanna know why? Because it’s definitely NOT “‘Twice’ as good as the original Vive” it’s just a slight bit better for 2X THE PRICE. And that was his point. He wasn’t going to spend all that money to get something only a little better. Now, off today that Vive Pro video, I am offended down to the deepest part of my bones that you said that because Linus has my respect through his UNDYING HONESTY. He recently put hate on the PS5 for saying it had the best ssd or something like that. Then Linus got hate and he realized he made a mistake and he misheard something. He then proceeded to make one of the best apology videos ever with brutal honesty that hurt even him. I respect this man so much, even if he does have the attitude of an old man that went through WWII or something sometimes. So sit the fuck down because you are on the wrong channel if you want to hate.

[@sirscorpio8220]

@Slackify I had watched it. I even rewatched it after I commented. It turns out, he didn’t even have to return it. It was his to keep. He literally said multiple times that it wasn’t a bad headset. But for its price, it wasn’t a big enough step up from the original Vive.

[@waterandstone...]

Three years later and I'm still grateful to Linus and others who posted grandstanding titles that bashed Pimax - because I think they helped drive down resale prices, making it possible for me to afford a used 5k+. Which has been stunning from the day I plugged it in. What he misses - from only a half hour experience - is that getting used to that extra wide field of view over time makes VR so much more real and immersive. More so than better resolution (except that it also gives you resolution). And the Pimax software gives you a lot of control in tweaking your unit to get resolution that suits the capabilities of your graphics card and computer, so it's grown with me as I've upgraded my GPU over time. Fast forward three years and I now have a Pimax 8kx with which I'm extremely satisfied. While the 5k+ worked great out-of-the-box, I had to make adjustments to the software settings to get the 8kx where I wanted - but once you're there, wow. It's like going to McDonalds and ordering a Coke (or any other headset, from Index to Quest) vs going to a quality restaurant and ordering a wine that you've learned about, tasted and come to know. Researching, finding (and in the case of a headset, setting up) that wine takes time, it takes more out of your life - maybe an email to tech support or a couple hops onto the Pimax discord. But I'll take that experience over a simple McD's fountain Coke any day.

[@Gigajizzo]

Just wanted to say that i got myself an Oculus Rift 4 days ago and it's AMAZING. VR is seriously something you can't show someone unless they try it by themselves, super high-res or not it's extremely immersive.

[@stewjw]

It does blow you away when you first use it. Sadly, the Oculus Rift is not now the best VR headset but its still one of the better packages available with good quality hand controllers controllers and solid tracking. I'm still waiting for a decent next gen VR headset package. Pimax are slowly getting there but they still have long lead times and the base stations and hand controllers are not currently available. I have high hopes to see what Steam has been working on which is yet to be officially announced.

[@Gigajizzo]

@@stewjw The Ouclus also uses a slightly lower resolution, which means that it's usable to more people since it requires a little bit lower specs PC wise. The tracking is really good, audio quality too, and the controllers fit perfectly in your hands.

[@stewjw]

@@Gigajizzo The low resolution, god rays and the screen door effect were issues for all the early 1st gen VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift. It's was particularly annoying for me since I liked to use it with flight simulators and reading text such as the avionics displays and seeing your enemy on the ground or in the air was a problem. Increasing the pixel density helped a little but it was still annoying. The restrcted 110° FOV was also a little annoying. The new VR headsets seem to be a long time coming but the graphic cards need to be faster to increase the frames rates. Low frame rates induces nausea from motion sickness. Foveated rendering is supposed to help where only the centre of vision is in high resolution. I know Oculus were also working on a crazy mechanical method to adjust the depth of focus but I believe they have decided to leave out this technology for their follow up to the Oculus Rift (Rift S?) if it ever sees the light of day. An issue for me with the Oculus controllers was I kept hitting the settings button, and it would often take several menu selections to get back into the game but that was a minor annoyance.

[@aoeu256]

@@stewjw Right now since the images are being blown up a 1080p VR display is like a 480P display on your monitor, but a a 480p display on your focused on your fovea(center eye) is like a 1080p monitor since you can only see pixels in the middle of your field of view.

the movement one seemed awesome if they can get it down near perfectly as it seemed very clunky from watching it, i think the problem is not the device and the input of movement but the movement in the game since it dosnt go 1 step at a time and to make it work in Doom as shown in this vid it would need to overhaul movement to be with that specific imput device since the game was built for holding down W or a thumb stick and walking normally is clunky with how the input is as its just like hitting W a bunch of times instead of a natural walk/run. With this if implemented with VR would need games to overhaul the animations as well to fit

[@photocrafting6068]

If the game suports locomotion (and not just teleportation) this works automatically with their software. Like he said one of his guys said it worked for him and all the reviews of it all said the same thing. Looks stupid but feels right. And gets tiring... because... gamers.

LCDs are not THAT bad actually... I'd pick WMR over Rift any day (not the controllers, though).

[@jmd1743]

I want a VR treadmill.

[@darthdevastator]

God dammit Linus! Stop wearing sandals with socks. It's WRONG!

[@SameBasicRiff]

the controllers at 4:00 gave me a cool idea someone can steal if their smarter then me haha: put sensors in the handles going over the thumbs to track finger movement for precise input control.

[@photocrafting6068]

It does. It tracks all the fingers individually. The valve version (watch valve knuckles demo videos) went even further with the handle has sensors and knows how hard you are squeezing.

[@SameBasicRiff]

@@photocrafting6068 oh really? like a pointing finger registers because of sensors around the hand? damn, im clueless, ignore the previous comment haha

[@hihaveaniceday9386]

If it's linus proof I might consider buying one then

[@Catthatisblue]

Damn you tested their headset and said you wanted to walk right past them and demanded a free review unit

[@dragongaming2.042]

anyone notice the the first 2 minutes or so of the video the dude in the background? well after rewatching it a few times i realized he is playing beatsaber.

[@Pow3rus]

I think you are wrong about the framerate going above 90Hz 90Hz is good and what really need improvement is resolution. I play most of my VR games at 90 FPS but I don't mind playing slow games that really benefit from ultra graphics in 45FPS. Elite Dangerous is not impacted by 45FPS or other games like hellblade, chronos.... Anything that isn't played in roomscale with touch controller can be played at 45FPS comfortably I think. I play assetto corsa at 90 but it's also playable at 45 and honestly if I had the choice of higher resolution with 45 FPS I would pick it. + you shouldn't be allowed to say things like that if you don't have at least 1000 hours of vr

[@laartwork]

Yeah with Pimax adding brainwarp I can switch from 64 to 72 to 90 hz. And guess what.... NO DIFFERENCE! If any human can tell (so far 7 have failed at guessing correctly) then they also have to admit it had zero effect on gameplay except lower fps allowed me to bump up graphics.
