HTC Vive - HARDWARE REVIEW! Consumer Edition

HTC Vive - HARDWARE REVIEW! Consumer Edition

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The HTC Vive is the future, but it's already here. Take an in-depth, hands-on look at the HTC Vive and its games I find it odd that a new TV can cost thousands of dollars but people moan about VR being expensive all the damn time. What exactly are you comparing the cost of VR to? Its brand new, for goodness sake! I mean, we are just entering the first real working generation of VR and it sounds like it works very well all things considered. Of course something that requires so much computing power is going to be expensive to begin with.\r\n

If the Vive headset was wireless, the price point would be worth it if you have the money and space to use it. They kind of danced around it in the video, but what it is is a niche product. The tech is too expensive for the majority of the intended audience, but the people buying it now are basically financing the next, better, and cheaper headset (in theory; if nobody buys it there won't be another one for a while)

Wow! Plugging in 3 devices and hanging a couple of small boxes is -Enthusiast- stuff and an 'Elaborate Affair'? Jeez. god forbid the people buying this actually have to BUILD a PC?
I hate to think how all those PSVR users will cope having to plug in a camera, an additional box AND a headset - forget pressing a sync button on their controllers?
Are reviewers REALLY this dense?

reply

-Complicated as hell- unboxing it and you have to drill the sensors in the wall like OMG it's such hard work.
-. - Is this guy serious or the laziest person ever?
He didn't even mention that you can just simply put the sensors on a shelf and put it on a tripod.
I can't wait for mine!

reply

Pat Mifsud. the Kinect made you move furniture around. You don't even need to drill the base stations in if you didn't want to.
I still don't understand the complaint about moving stuff around anyways. You are given the ability to walk around in VR, moving around requires space.

+1 for including Tara Long! That aside, does anyone know if the Vive (or Oculus or PlayStation VR) works well for people who wear eyeglasses? I would guess that all of these are designed to fit over eyeglasses - but has anyone in the media tried that?
reply

Clearly the time it takes to set this up is well worth it and I think people understand that. It's not like it takes a day to set this device up, and if it does maybe you should have someone else do it for you.

Reviewer really needs to work on the delivery of their lines. Words get blurred together, cadence is slurred, tone and voice keeps dropping towards the end of the sentence.

I wanted to like this review, but the reviewers voice was so whiney and valley-girl sounding that it almost made me hate the product he was reviewing. Liek OMG! -

wut's with having the dude with the most pubescent / pretentious sounding voice in the office do the review video! honestly, i nearly had to stop watching this
reply

This is where VR goes a bit too far for me, because I'm in a wheelchair. A shame really, oh well. I'll just go for the sitting experience of the PlayStation VR
reply

maybe theyll include mini rumble packs for the headset later on: o haptic head-feedback. Like when the giant axes swing close or something
reply

It takes longer to mount a TV to a wall, really don't understand why mounting a couple tiny boxes is perceived as some huge undertaking.
reply

What was that dungeon crawler game where you had to duck under the swinging axe traps?
I've loved the look and style of it.

reply

strange review, down talking it most of the time over the top of videos of people saying how cool it is.
