could be mainstream in a decade tho, once there are consoles (and mobiles) that can pump out that kind of data with no issue

No man, that's not how it works, and no iteration of the current Oculus hardware addresses this (nor do any of the games).

You're not even thinking about your assertion. Basically, unless the Oculus literally supports someone WALKING FORWARD, it's going to throw you off.

Those rollercoaster demos were effing DESIGNED for the Rift, and you're blaming the software? They were the biggest offenders.

Basically, unless you're saying that the Star Trek version of "The Holodeck" is the Oculus + it's software, you're missing the entirety of the point.

The only titles, I repeat, ONLY titles that fit your assertion on what's 'acceptable' for the Rift are demos/games that involve sitting completely stationary, and looking around/leaning very slightly.

That's completely not what it will be used for, and not what people are expecting.

Nope. Yet more reason the Vive will slaughter this piece of shit in its sleep.

I have a feeling the Vive will be priced around $500-$800 if you include the room sensors and input devices.

Valve's solution already looks 10,000 times better.

nobody has seen what cv1 is going to look like or what input mechanism and sensors it will ship with.

Also, nobody is going to be using a mouse and keyboard for vr gaming, nor has anyone suggested that this is going to be a thing. "Hardcore" pc gamers who can't wrap their head around the concept of using a differeent set of input devices need not apply. This is a paradigm shift in gaming, not just a new monitor with some fancy sensors. CES will be very interesting this year with some major players all showing finalized designs and I'm excited for the amount of competition and potential out there.

The Vive doesn't use a mouse and keyboard, so I'm not sure what you're getting at...

We've already seen lots of people getting motion sickness from the current Oculus. Valve seems to have at least solved this problem.

I have to agree. Similar to how the whole 3D television/monitor hype train...

Except how many 3d televisions or montors allowed you to experience 6 degree of freedom (6DOF) movement in a 3d virtual space? Yeah, erm...none.

I backed 3 ships more for lifetime insurance than the ship(s) itself. Why? Because I don't want to feel obligated to grind for cash just to insure my ship (s) if I want to pirate etc. I know Ill have to pay for weapons and systems again but still better than grinding out a monthly quota to pay for insurance. Back when I was in my 20s I didn't mind nerding out for 48 hour marathons of gaming, not anymore though.

Holy moly , just listen to what you say do you even want to play this so called game , i guess you are one of those WHO pay others to play for you also because you don't have the time and don't want to feel the pain when your 1000$ pixel gets raped ( like your wallet)......pathetic

it still amazes me that people feel they have the right to say how long Star Citizen should or should not take to develop. As if you have ANY say in the matter whatsoever.

The length of time it takes to make a game is not something you can hold to any expectation and make any kind of sense at all. So just stop.

As a customer, or potential customer, we've got the right to say how long we want to wait for a product, AND for what product we want.
