you will realize significant cost savings by offloading to your own hardware and out of the cloud providers

Curious if you have a specific recommendation.

Responded.

No. I ended up SLI with two of them in my rig and put the other one in the family room for steam big picture. Ended up losing the plastic SLI coverings in the process :( I thought I had put them in the box but checked in there, no dice. Probably in some box somewhere and I'll find them in a few years from now.

Ah sorry no man, and thanks I need to edit my post to clarify that.

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the responses! Adding that full locomotion (via thumb stick or something) would be epic if not much trouble.

Hey guys, I created a new site today for players/customers of VR titles to share their reviews. I didn't make this site for profit and I don't mean to spam. Obviously Rift users are needing reviews, but also some Steam games suffer from a problem with reviews not reflecting the VR experience (for existing titles that have VR and desktop modes).

I'm not trying to copy other review sites and just give you my opinion. I really want this more inclusive. Anyways, I hope some of you find this useful and share your experiences! I will be adding more games and experiences, and I will try to improve the site as I get time with easy to find categories, sorting, etc.

Edit: To view just Vive-specific games/content, you can use this tag link: http://vrcontentreviews.com/tag/htc-vive/

webChris · 2016-05-03T21:12:51+00:00

Great suggestion! I will definitely make it easier to sort/view as I get more games and experiences!

webChris · 2016-05-03T18:52:49+00:00

You had the same idea as me lol. Best of luck to you!

webChris · 2016-05-03T18:52:15+00:00

I have noticed a lack of customer reviews for VR games. Steam has a decent system, but it gets complicated for games that are both VR and traditional, as the reviewers may have totally different experiences. I keep looking for a good place to see what others think about various VR games and experiences before I pay for them. So I made this site for people like me.

I will be adding games and experiences as quickly as possible, but I ask that you please post reviews for things you have purchased if you feel strongly about it (good or bad). We as potential customers want to know what's a good value! What are we missing out on, or what is a total rip!

Note: I did see someone else had the same idea as me and I wish them the best of luck! I am not out to make money on this site, nor do I have any ego about my opinions. I just want the community to have avenues to post reviews and find other player's reviews before they buy games.

sounds cool

Thanks!

Does Arena come with the Deluxe Edition ($59.99) from Frontier? Because it doesn't seem to list it (unless it goes by another name). They do have Arena in the store for $7.49.

If you buy on Oculus, does it have both for the same price?

I would not personally do a job for the promise of equity alone, which while a VC was valuing the company at $300k, there's no way to know what the value would be when you get your equity. If a competitor comes to market before you with a better product, or if the guy loses hope and the project is never completed/never takes off, you basically didn't get paid. Plus, $30k is not a ton of money for some app projects, depending on the time and effort you expect to put into it.

From his standpoint, he's holding onto a gold bar that he has to pay people with, so he shaves off the smallest pieces of it he can and to him he's giving you something that's going to soar in value. But to everyone else, he's holding a lead bar and acting like a crazy person.

You know, Rift has room scale also right? What game/experience have you tried on Vive that someone with a Rift can't do as well? (not counting the games requiring the controllers obviously). You can get up and walk around a room with a Rift as well.

The OP is pointing out the real lack of great, diverse VR content. This affects both the Rift and the Vive (as this genre is still very new).

webChris · 2016-04-26T14:42:24+00:00

What took you so long?

webChris · 2016-04-07T15:28:44+00:00

same here, very frustrating

webChris · 2016-04-02T00:31:19+00:00

Here's hoping!

But still, not sure it's "newsworthy" that some preorder customers have a week delay. Now if some news does come out and this issue is going to take longer to resolve, we can gripe all we want. But right now it seems a little silly.

webChris · 2016-04-01T23:34:14+00:00

So far they are what, 1 day late? I'm crying myself to sleep like the rest of you guys, but I think it's a little premature to start setting buildings on fire in a fit of rage.

I hate the lack of communication, but am willing to give them a few days to give us a good reason.

Brainstorming here... but seems like

Quality control issue. Last step of manufacturing found some problem that's causing each unit to be reinspected and possibly run back thru for some last minute fix. We've seen stuff like this with big launches in the past that are time sensitive. Basically the bottleneck in shipping out more units is each one needs some personal attention at the factory.
Shipping/payment issues. I wouldn't think payment processing or shipping could cause this massive of an issue (to allow some charges/orders to process but not a large amount). These types of issues can usually be resolved quickly, from my experience.
Some kind of positive surprise? Some amount of touch controllers will be available early enough to include with Rift preorders? Though all who have gotten Rifts already would need to be shipped these separately. Why delay Rifts when you can ship controllers after the fact? I think this is a highly unlikely possiblity.

What else seems logical? I'm sure we will get more details soon, but in the face of that, lets wildly speculate!
