VR Headsets

Post by Thurston »

Anyone here have a set? I'm thinking about picking up a Valve Index or HP Reverb G2 and curious what you guys think about these.

I went to an arcade in Florida a couple of years ago and played with the HTC Vive Pro setup they had there and was blown away, so fun! I'm thinking with the pandemic and amount of time I'll be spending at home this winter I can justify a toy like this.

I have a Rift S. It's definitely fun but I honestly don't use it as much as I really ought too given the cost. Having the space to do room scale properly is the biggest factor for enjoying properly for sure, and I'm a bit limited with that :(

The G2 definitely looks nice.

Man, I tried by friend's VR... it was a walk through a hunted house... OMG! IT FREAKED ME OUT!!! :eek:
The real people, sitting around me, were talking while I was searching the haunted house - they sounded like ghosts on the other side of the ether!!!

The game I played in FL was a zombie game, they come running at you, scares the shit out of you! Then you get used to it and it's totally addicting.

Having trouble finding stuff. Index is back ordered for months. Reverb G2 is a few weeks and needs a new card and the 3070 is out of stock everywhere.
