WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.080 in the past few months Oculus has more than fallen from Grace from attacks on 00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:11.679 their new launch video for the Oculus touch controllers like the nightmare 00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:13.320 fuel like versus dislike bar to the 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:19.480 comment section with people saying things like Oculus is anti-consumer and 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:23.840 anti-competitive that they're killing an exciting new area of Technology with 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:30.320 terrible business practices that they're turning into the apple of VR that they 00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:32.320 are the cancer of VR people are are 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:38.399 really mad and my Twitter polls showing a shift of our community's Outlook to 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:40.559 the Vive compared to the rift obviously 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:44.800 doesn't capture the entire picture it's not just that people seem to generally 00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:50.600 prefer the Vive these days it's more that they're enraged at 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 00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:58.920 late review of The 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.920 Rift 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.720 cooler Masters masterc case maker 5 features the free form modular system 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:13.320 allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours at the link below 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.560 putting aside the hatred for a moment ignoring room scale forgetting about the 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:22.240 controllers and putting a pause on the accusations of bad business practices 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 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.799 headset alone the rift is actually rather remarkable the combination of the 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:35.479 tension retraction mechanism and the velcro straps make it effortless to fit 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:39.920 the rift onto your head the lightweight overall design and high quality 00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:45.000 materials make it quite comfortable to wear the ipd adjustment or like how far 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 00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:53.159 on ear headphones are surprisingly quite 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.240 good meaning that you won't have to worry about earbuds or headphones 00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:02.479 falling off or falling out when you whip your head around in VR everything about 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:09.239 the headset even down to the cable breakout feels quality but unfortunately 00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:11.760 for Oculus immersion in VR is key and an 00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:17.319 important big step to immersion is getting your hands in the experience 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:23.200 without some form of hand presence even something rudimentary the rift feels 00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:28.120 incomplete especially because we aren't examining it in a magic vacuum where 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:32.920 other products like the HDC VI don't exist content especially exclusive 00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:37.280 content could be the answer to this but honestly I found the games pretty boring 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 00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:47.720 demo that it was to track the progress of the riffs development the multiplayer 00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:52.760 space dog fighter Eve Valkyrie got a little dull after a while even the climb 00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:58.360 a beautiful rock climbing simulator from krych was much less engaging than it 00:02:55.480 --> 00:03:02.879 should have felt thanks to the Xbox controller I mean sure for Passive 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.040 experiences that don't require controller input like watching movies in 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:13.519 a virtual reality theater or the throbbing Market of POV virtual reality 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:16.400 experiences for adults the Oculus 00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:20.200 actually wins pretty handily the headset is lighter and more comfortable for 00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:25.080 long-term viewing and the foam face padding collects less you know 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:31.560 perspiration to keep it at least the headset itself uh more hygienic ah which 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 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:42.519 controller is fantastic I've used it and in my opinion it's even just slightly 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:48.239 better than the admittedly wonderful Vive controllers so great it wins but 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 00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:58.280 let's see there's a new video on the Oculus YouTube channel about the touch 00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:04.480 surely that will tell us when it's coming out how much it will cost Etc 00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:09.680 nope just a video of some Attractive people being super excited about 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:15.040 watching each other play VR games which is pretty awkward and kind of boring for 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 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:25.919 guess so the headset is good the touch controllers are late but they're coming 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 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 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 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.960 so far so to have a whopping 30 of them 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:49.320 coming out is a great thing the problem with that is that a significant number 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:52.000 of them are going to be exclusive or 00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:56.639 wait are they there's actually some misinformation floating around here 00:04:53.880 --> 00:05:01.560 Oculus doesn't actually seem to be after fullon exclusives what they are doing is 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:07.120 giving developers straight up cash for them to release on their platform first 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:12.320 in one case the most documented case in fact they didn't even suggest a timed 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.919 exclusivity Clause the developer said it would take them 2 to three months to 00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:21.039 release on the Vive and they were cool with that Gabe Newell by contrast 00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:25.120 responded to a Fan's email stating that while they do financially support devs 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:30.720 by essentially giving them an advance on their steam sales they never asked for 00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:32.639 any form of exclusivity time or not so 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:37.919 you can decide to raise your Pitchfork or not you're entitled to that but 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.520 personally until I have more hard facts 00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:46.400 mine has been stowed but the ultimate question remains should you buy one nope 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:50.720 the Vive I was hesitant to recommend the glorified Tech demo game library and 00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:56.280 high price point are both difficult pills to swallow but as an Enthusiast 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 00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:05.880 at this point I would not suggest the purchase of a rift regardless of if you 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:11.520 want a seated or standing experience and I'm even trying to cancel the order from 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:14.000 my personal Rift which if unsuccessful 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:20.400 will probably turn into just selling it on eBay shocker right well it's true 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 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:29.919 the Vive at CES this year I've been simply uninterested in the Xbox 00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:34.759 controller Centric experience that the rift currently is for the consumer and 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 00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:45.039 them before I'm willing to give it another chance at this point this is an 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:49.000 incomplete experience and the Vive is a complete experience it seems like a 00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:53.560 generational

probably talking about the DK2 at that point in 00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:53.720 time but don't worry about it I'm going to go play five 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.720 games
