Oculus Rift + PC = 'next generation consloles' are a joke

Oculus Rift+Star citzen+ awesomeness :cool:

I can wait...we are getting the alpha this year after all :)

So, the resolution on this thing is 1280x800. Isn't that down in the supposedly intolerable console range?lowe0

Oh there's also a version of Doom 3 that supports Oc.Rift, and I believe idSoftware already working on the next Doom 4 which will fully integrate the system.

I know that with Kincet and WiiMotes and Move there was a lot of hype and people speaking how awesome it's gonna be and in the end it delivered poorly and basically I consider all 3 of them almost fails but of course that's my opinion.
Whith Oculus Rift on the other hand it's absolutely different story. A lot of people tried and lot of devs tried it... they all were blown away and all were saying how awesome it is and how it will change everything. We're talking about full 3d world immersion. Never happened before.

In march they will be shipping dev kits to developers and they will start making games for it and I believe somewhere in late 2013 the product will be available for the consumers. They still working on the commercial version to enchance the displays as much as possible, lower ms, make it lighter and optimize the track of movement. Also considering that they were using an xbox controller as well as a keyboard/mouse I'd say it will be available for both... consoles and PCs

Regardless, I hope that they release higher-resolution models.

No it doesnt because those pixels are condensed into the tiny screens. Think about it.

WHats the fov on this? Proper vr would have a realistic periphery. In real life we have 175 degree horizontal fov and around 130 vertically.

Lol at people saying 1280x800 is low... on a 5 inch screen. The resolution only shows how many pixels can fit in a given screen. What actually matters is the dpi of the pixels (the size of the pixel itself). So if you have a 30'' screen with a resolution of 1280x800 then yes it is low but if you have 5'' or 6'' screen the resolution is not low at all.

The guys behind Rift said that the dev kits work on a 720p at the moment but they are looking to implement 1080p. They're working on an add-on for the dev kit that supports 1080p and in the consumer version 1080p will be standard.

Loweo never accepts defeat. I await his return and his next frivolous argument.

Edit: I was too late.

[QUOTE="Cranler"]1280x800 on a tiny screen like that has a huge dpi. Probably better than playing at 1080p on a 24 inch screen 2ft away.

Personally, I'm just amused that the previously hard-and-fast standard of 1080p goes out the window without a second thought when it becomes advantageous to one's argument.lowe0

I haven't been closely following the thread, but has anyone clearly stated how 1280x800>1080p?

If that hasn't happened, how did the 1080p standard fly out the window?

I don't know this looks like one of those things that will need years to get out of the gimmick territory.

[QUOTE="lowe0"] That makes it matter more, actually, not less. Stick your head really close to your monitor and tell me if you see more or fewer individual pixels than you did at your normal seating distance.lowe0

you do realise that there will not be simply a screen in front of your eyes... they put some sort of special lenses and a lot of other stuff... man trust me these guys are professionals and they've already thought in advance about all your concerns.

No one said the Rift had a superior res. They just claimed it wouldn't be as bad as you made it sound. And my phone (Galaxy note 2) is only 1280x720 and even a few inches away it's still pretty great looking and I can't make out individual pixels. I think you're exaggerating a bit

A 1440p version would be nice. Better yet, 4k:P

Only when it referred to consoles. Not when it came to new pieces of tech like this. No one claimed PC superiority resolution wise against a PS Vita or 3DS or anything like that. It was only ever mentioned against consoles, and only because they boast how great console games look despite being gimped by sub HD resolutions. Or when a multi plat is involved.

Yeah, saw a few...

Don't see how it matters now, though. Here, people just said how in this specific circumstance, they won't mind 1280x800 if done right, though some still clearly expressed their desire for 1080p...

Where did anyone say that? no one here claimed the resolution of the thing was superior or Godly or anything like that. They just said it wasn't as bad as what you said.

1080p isn't a big deal when dealing with such a tiny screen anyway. 720p is fine on a small screen.

A literal game-changing device taking us one step closer to the Holodeck and we're debating resolution! WTF Larry!

Holodeck, we're coming for you, and it will be glorious.

Lowe0 meanwhile will be playing Halo 4 apparently :)

I for one welcome our lower resolution ultra-immersion overlord, set to redefine video game entertainment.

(and for you naysayers, did you watch youtube video of reactions? 90% of them are 'holy @$^ this is glorious')

More than a few people compared this to psychodelics .... and had a hard time coming back into reality. Be hyped!

Because the screen is tiny and you know its a non factor, you're baiting.

It is exciting. I don't know when I would be jumping into it myself. Depends on the games and price.

For the size of the screen, and the distance from your eyes the RIFT needs to be at the very least 1440p

A step further towards virtual reality! Maybe even a genuine sword art online game eventually. :Phexashadow13

Hopefully we have something like that in a decade.
