See all the pixels? That's what I was afraid of
apparently there is no screen door effect like you have in the DK2, so that's an improvement at least.
I wish they would come up with some way of making tiny screens with such a high resolution that the individual pixel elements are beyond human resolution - I don't know, stack them in layers or something lol
Well I've never tried one before.
But as soon as I put it on I noticed the delimiter lines between pixels, not sure what they're called. I presume screen manufacturing just isn't quite high dpi enough yet.
From the brief go I had (1.5 hour queue and you only get enough time to try a single combat training mission).... The image quality just doesn't match up to a half decent monitor, as I say I only briefly tried it but I think I'd describe it as being because you're much closer to the pixels, and well screens have generally evolved not to be placed a few inches from your eye.
When I say you can see all the pixels, you quickly switch to concentrating on what's going on in the game, but I think the pixels being so close they almost have a perceptable "glow" to them that you wouldn't normally notice. The resulting image just doesn't look quite right, almost slightly cartoony in a way (I'm finding it hard to describe exactly what I mean, you wouldn't do graphic asset design using one let's put it that way).
No doubt VR is very cool and I'll likely have one depending on the price.
The most amazing thing about the VR for me though was not looking round the ship or seeing an asteroid or anything like that, it was looking down and seeing your own body and arms. You look down and see an arm where yours is but this one's clad in a black pilot's suit, something clicks in your brain and it *is* you, something very weird going on there, but very cool at the same time. (I think I had a pair of <female anatomy> too!)
The rest, the looking round and seeing things I think for me is nice but no different to say going to see a 3d film at the cinema, in that it's novel but you soon get used to it.
As I say what I found to be most amazing about it was the bizarre disjointed sense of self that happens when you see your own body, the weird sense of becoming the avatar sort of effect. It's that where it feels the real immersion is.

I am a terrible person , but for me its simple
Vive is by valve , and the rift is not... therefor the vive is better ; all hail GabeN
Alternatively, Occulus is by Facebook. Nuff said, get a Vive.
