What the actual fuck?

Instead of lowering the barrier of entry, they increased it and btw to the VR defense force, this is only for the headset. The other shit costs extra.

And if you don't have a good PC, it will cost a lot more.

If Vive Pro came with the base stations and controllers I'd buy but since it doesn't Oculus is the much better value
HTC shot themselves in the foot

They are trying to attract Apple slaves. Remember, Job's made his shitty hardware sale more by incrasing its price until peasants believed it was a good product. And to these days it still works.

Shit, nevermind. I thought the trucking wireless thing was built-in and the adapter is for something else.

There's already lower priced alternatives for VR. WMR go for around 200 dollars and it's pretty good value. It's no Vive but you aren't paying for a Vive.

Remember when Resident Evil 7 was supposed to get VR support for PC?

Getting cheap VR is like getting cheap sushi, it will make you sick.

vr will be good and affordable in 2025. i'm still thankful that there are drones nowadays who buy this overpriced under-teched shit that's still getting figured out.

This is for developers, not for poor gaymers

No it is not.

I could buy 2 Oculus for that money and with fucking sensors and controllers.
HTC is retarded.

Buy now mate, for that price the vive is great

VR is already dead.

Damn I can actually afford the Vive now.
But now I'm wondering if I can afford the Vive, why not save a few more hundred and get the Vive Pro?

It's for devs and enterprise. It's not a new vive for consumers, which is why it's called vive pro and not vive 2

Read press release you homo

>literally isnt a single VR game that isnt a glorified tech demo, walking simulator or 5 minute gimmick exhibition

>But now I'm wondering if I can afford the Vive, why not save a few more hundred and get the Vive Pro?
It's $800 plus $530 for the two controllers and the two base stations.

vr is pretty gud with strategy games like this.

This.
VR? More like VRchat machines.
Is there seriously anything worth playing or doing on VR besides VRchat yet? Every game is just a short "experience" with an overly expensive price-tag attached.

>It's for devs and enterprise. It's not a new vive for consumers,
Not him but give me a link because I am not reading this in any of their press release.

The only thing I've read is this is because of ready player one which they are partner of. HTC is literally thinking that ready player one will make VR popular.

Not to mention the $1.5k+tip needed to have a VR ready gaming rig.

Nigger, they've been shilling the vive pro for a while now, if you go on the website they linked its clear its not targeting devs and professionals.

Attached: 1482514717294.png (1228x1150, 191K)

Um....that game looks playable without VR...? Looks like brood wars and I played that with just a mouse...

Remember that this was the price of the original vive, bundled with two 150$ controllers, two 150$ base stations and a 40$ game.

They are absolutely insane.

Yeah no, vive pro is 800$ ALONE, you'd have to buy for 600$ of additional shit to get the full experience.

>No games

I wish it had worked this time. I thought, unlike the 90's, this would be the era where it would crack through.

But it seems VR is to gaming as 3D is to movies. Every couple of decades they'll wheel it out, make some quick bucks and then people will get sick of it.

And the minimum is the two controllers and two base stations, right?
>two controllers = $260
>two base stations =$270
>260+270=530
I don't understand what you're trying to add.

Mac's also had design and utility going for them. This could be the greatest VR headset in the world - there's still nothing to do with it.

Rock and Morty VR

>implying

Let me go ask my 800 priced at the time Vive that is now in my closet that.

Because unlike a high end gaming computer there's literally nothing you can do with the headset unless it's ATTACHED to a fucking computer?

Are you literally retarded?

There will never be a game that justifies VR and couldn't be played with KBM.
VR is only for porn.

WHY

JUST MAKE SOMETHING FOR IT SO I CAN JUSTIFY SPENDING A THOUSAND BUCKS ON IT

PLEASE

What bugs me more than the expensive cost of VR is how every two hour long VR vidya "experience" sold on Steam feels the need to price itself at +$30.
VR games are fucking expensive for some reason despite how shit all of them are.

Just as the "Year of Linux" meme has died down we have "Year of VR" to takeover.
>just wait for gen 2, I mean 3
If you buy into any VR garbage you deserve exactly no pity when the realization hits you've bought an $800 accessory with as many worthwhile games as the Virtual Boy. At least early adopters had (false) hope something worthwhile would come out to play on it.

It's exactly like 3D. Those old enough to catch these fads don't buy it. Most don't. I hope.

here retard
>no games worth playing
>no controllers and sensors
>$800
what now retard

this argument is so fucking stupid. The rich stay rich because of having such a large nest egg allows them to invest and see large enough returns to be able to blow it on dumb shit. Go back to your job at mcdonalds retard.

I could understand that price point if it included the 2.0 lighthouses and controllers but for just the HMD? Fuck that.

Remember in 2009 after Avatar how no one would ever watch 2D movies ever again?

What happened to that?

>Still no games
>Still no software

>Still literally two useless sticks and ski goggles

Maybe don't invest anymore money in releasing another pointless iteration of your hardware, and spend some of that money in developing software to make owning that hardware have a purpose.

I know you're trolling, but there will never be a vive 2. It'll always be like this where you purchase specific modules like a pc. Either upgraded controllers, or upgraded headset/baystations etc.

Okay so the vive went from 800 to 500 in 2 years.
It should be pretty mainstream priced in 2 years, the valve games should be out by then also.
The real issue is the price you have to pay for a pc able to run the games.

Left hand path.

I blame crypo currency.

this. i still might the 500 dollar version now just to play with it for a week.

>valve
>games

I'm convinced that if we had this technology during the 2000's we'd have actual software to go along with these headsets instead of the 5 minute tech demos going for $40.00+tip.

Companies survived on making quality games to survive and we didn't have literally who indie devs puking out trash.

I JUST WANT GOOD GAMES YOU FUCKS

>t. retard ex-pro-sports dindu or pea-brained wrinkly celebrity

You don't even know how video games even work because you don't have 2 braincells to rub together. Developers chase markets. This is why console sales matter, because a developer is extremely highly likely to make more money on a platform that has sold 80 million units compared to 1 million. That's 80 million potential players vs. 1. Do the math.

"Poorfags" justify the entire damn video game industry by keeping its seas wide and profitable. $800 VR is just like $500 VR, a useless pile of tech without any adoption rate and therefore no developer enthusiasm/support. It's worse than the PS3.

Enjoy playing Skyrim for the 80th time you mong. Bethesda is literally the only company that cares about you, because you folk are so dumb as to buy $10 horse DLC on a game you already paid $60 for.
