1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,080
in the past few months Oculus has more than fallen from Grace from attacks on

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:11,679
their new launch video for the Oculus touch controllers like the nightmare

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,320
fuel like versus dislike bar to the

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:19,480
comment section with people saying things like Oculus is anti-consumer and

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,840
anti-competitive that they're killing an exciting new area of Technology with

6
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:30,320
terrible business practices that they're turning into the apple of VR that they

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,320
are the cancer of VR people are are

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:38,399
really mad and my Twitter polls showing a shift of our community's Outlook to

9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:40,559
the Vive compared to the rift obviously

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:44,800
doesn't capture the entire picture it's not just that people seem to generally

11
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:50,600
prefer the Vive these days it's more that they're enraged at

12
00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:54,540
Oculus let's explore why and while we're at it I'll give a 2 and 1 half months

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,920
late review of The

14
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920
Rift

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,720
cooler Masters masterc case maker 5 features the free form modular system

16
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:13,320
allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours at the link below

17
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,560
putting aside the hatred for a moment ignoring room scale forgetting about the

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,240
controllers and putting a pause on the accusations of bad business practices

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,720
trust me we'll get back to those soon but taking just a moment to look at the

20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,799
headset alone the rift is actually rather remarkable the combination of the

21
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:35,479
tension retraction mechanism and the velcro straps make it effortless to fit

22
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:39,920
the rift onto your head the lightweight overall design and high quality

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:45,000
materials make it quite comfortable to wear the ipd adjustment or like how far

24
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:51,439
away the lenses are from each other is easy to find and simple to use even the

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,159
on ear headphones are surprisingly quite

26
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:57,240
good meaning that you won't have to worry about earbuds or headphones

27
00:01:55,079 --> 00:02:02,479
falling off or falling out when you whip your head around in VR everything about

28
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:09,239
the headset even down to the cable breakout feels quality but unfortunately

29
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:11,760
for Oculus immersion in VR is key and an

30
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:17,319
important big step to immersion is getting your hands in the experience

31
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:23,200
without some form of hand presence even something rudimentary the rift feels

32
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:28,120
incomplete especially because we aren't examining it in a magic vacuum where

33
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:32,920
other products like the HDC VI don't exist content especially exclusive

34
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,280
content could be the answer to this but honestly I found the games pretty boring

35
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:42,680
I see no benefit to luy's taale a platformer being in VR and as cool as a

36
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:47,720
demo that it was to track the progress of the riffs development the multiplayer

37
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:52,760
space dog fighter Eve Valkyrie got a little dull after a while even the climb

38
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:58,360
a beautiful rock climbing simulator from krych was much less engaging than it

39
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:02,879
should have felt thanks to the Xbox controller I mean sure for Passive

40
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,040
experiences that don't require controller input like watching movies in

41
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:13,519
a virtual reality theater or the throbbing Market of POV virtual reality

42
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,400
experiences for adults the Oculus

43
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:20,200
actually wins pretty handily the headset is lighter and more comfortable for

44
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:25,080
long-term viewing and the foam face padding collects less you know

45
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:31,560
perspiration to keep it at least the headset itself uh more hygienic ah which

46
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:37,400
isn't to say that Oculus has no solution for hand presence in VR the Oculus touch

47
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:42,519
controller is fantastic I've used it and in my opinion it's even just slightly

48
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:48,239
better than the admittedly wonderful Vive controllers so great it wins but

49
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:54,159
you can't win an award if you don't show up for it so where the hell is it well

50
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:58,280
let's see there's a new video on the Oculus YouTube channel about the touch

51
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:04,480
surely that will tell us when it's coming out how much it will cost Etc

52
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:09,680
nope just a video of some Attractive people being super excited about

53
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:15,040
watching each other play VR games which is pretty awkward and kind of boring for

54
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:21,440
the most part by the way oh uh and it's coming this year so that's good news I

55
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,919
guess so the headset is good the touch controllers are late but they're coming

56
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:31,000
let's get back to the community anger I alluded to earlier why all the hate it's

57
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:35,680
partly to do with the first part of the video title the over 30 full games part

58
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:41,360
at first this sounds awesome the lack of full games has been a big problem for VR

59
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:43,960
so far so to have a whopping 30 of them

60
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:49,320
coming out is a great thing the problem with that is that a significant number

61
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000
of them are going to be exclusive or

62
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:56,639
wait are they there's actually some misinformation floating around here

63
00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Oculus doesn't actually seem to be after fullon exclusives what they are doing is

64
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:07,120
giving developers straight up cash for them to release on their platform first

65
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:12,320
in one case the most documented case in fact they didn't even suggest a timed

66
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,919
exclusivity Clause the developer said it would take them 2 to three months to

67
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:21,039
release on the Vive and they were cool with that Gabe Newell by contrast

68
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:25,120
responded to a Fan's email stating that while they do financially support devs

69
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:30,720
by essentially giving them an advance on their steam sales they never asked for

70
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:32,639
any form of exclusivity time or not so

71
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,919
you can decide to raise your Pitchfork or not you're entitled to that but

72
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:40,520
personally until I have more hard facts

73
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:46,400
mine has been stowed but the ultimate question remains should you buy one nope

74
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:50,720
the Vive I was hesitant to recommend the glorified Tech demo game library and

75
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:56,280
high price point are both difficult pills to swallow but as an Enthusiast

76
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:00,880
who's been saving for quite some time I bit the bullet as far as the Riff goes

77
00:05:58,919 --> 00:06:05,880
at this point I would not suggest the purchase of a rift regardless of if you

78
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:11,520
want a seated or standing experience and I'm even trying to cancel the order from

79
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,000
my personal Rift which if unsuccessful

80
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:20,400
will probably turn into just selling it on eBay shocker right well it's true

81
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:25,120
there's a lot to like about the rift but ever since trying the newer version of

82
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:29,919
the Vive at CES this year I've been simply uninterested in the Xbox

83
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:34,759
controller Centric experience that the rift currently is for the consumer and

84
00:06:32,919 --> 00:06:39,280
I'll need to find out how much the controllers cost and when I can even get

85
00:06:37,479 --> 00:06:45,039
them before I'm willing to give it another chance at this point this is an

86
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:49,000
incomplete experience and the Vive is a complete experience it seems like a

87
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:53,560
generational Gap and I'm going with the Vive personally tunnel bear is a simple

that's fun too check out this video which is a random one of the videos

99
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,159
where I said that I was going to keep my pre-order for the

100
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:49,120
rift you know whatever I was probably talking about the DK2 at that point in

101
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:53,720
time but don't worry about it I'm going to go play five

102
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,720
games
