00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.120
thank you to hypx for sending us to PX Prime 2015 this year check out their

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:08.679
Cloud 2 gaming headset in the video description down below also thank you to

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.679
ASUS and Corsair welcome to no actual booth in

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:18.840
particular what we're checking out right now is the Oculus cv1 or consumer

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:21.279
version one and the valve HTC Vive combo

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:25.560
thing what I came to PX Prime 2015 expecting to do was have a head-to-head

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:30.119
between these guys in terms of tech specs but that doesn't seem to be the

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:33.840
really important thing here which is a little abnormal for me I'm used to being

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.280
like well has this resolution screen and this refresh rate on the screen all this

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:41.640
kind of stuff that's great they're both kind of getting to a point where it's

00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:45.800
it's okay it's obviously not great it's not the ideal VR experience people still

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.199
want higher resolution people still want higher refresh rate because then it will

00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:53.039
feel more immersive and look more realistic you can still kind of see that

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.920
the graphics aren't that amazing because frame rate is super important in VR so

00:00:55.480 --> 00:01:02.879
you need kind of lower settings and higher frame rate and a really beastly machine we know all this kind of stuff

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:07.080
so okay what is it coming down to well as you guys know killer apps is super

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:12.560
important Oculus right now has a valkyrie gear VR has some from Eve as

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:16.759
well and valve HTC Vive has a whole bunch of their own killer apps coming up

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:22.759
it's going to be kind of that whole console PC gaming War thing all over

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:26.520
again even though they're both on PC because it's going to be okay well this

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:31.040
one is hooked into this one specifically and yeah that's kind of a problem to be

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:33.799
completely honest I'm hoping that they merge libraries because then people are

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.880
going to be able to get the experience from the hardware that they want and be able to play whatever game they want but

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:42.079
I don't know how true that's going to be in the end we've seen it time and time

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:46.799
again people are like oh yeah we're going to get rid of exclusives and then

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:50.840
they super don't so I don't know we'll have to see now Hardware experience

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:54.399
there is some stuff I can say here the main differences are about the sensor

00:01:52.759 --> 00:01:59.920
the Oculus has a sensor that sits in front of you and looks at its IR LEDs

00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:03.920
and that's actually pretty good but only kind of condenses you into either a

00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:07.680
sitting experience or a standing experience in a fairly small square you

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:11.959
can still stand and move around a little bit but really not that much the Vive

00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:16.040
gives you much more freedom you can move around in a much larger area and have it

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:19.319
still be relatively accurate because there's sensors that will go up on the

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:24.480
walls in kind of the corners of the room and track you there the problem with

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:29.120
this is it's less consistent and harder to set up harder to set up uh the first

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:33.879
demo I did for the vibe was at NVIDIA on the first day early on and none of the

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:37.879
demos that I tried worked every single demo I tried had a critical failure at

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.680
some point in time during the demo also the HTC truck that was outside the

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.640
convention in a parking lot had so many problems that they had to shut down

00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:48.239
partway through the day another booth that I tried it at a Seuss they had it

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:53.080
going on but I tried them much later on so they were able to kind of fix some of

00:02:50.519 --> 00:02:55.360
the bugs it's an interesting idea a lot of you guys out there are going to be

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.720
tinkerers and you're going to be able to work on this stuff and set this stuff up

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:04.080
and that's cool you'll have no problem but other people are going to want the the more simple experience I don't know

00:03:01.959 --> 00:03:07.360
if I can condense these two Brands into simple experience and more complicated

00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:11.280
experience yet they're not out yet we'll have to see but that's kind of how it's

00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.760
looking for now I'm excited hopefully you guys are too we'll have to see in

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:19.440
2016 how this war ends or some might argue begins anyways thanks to hyperx
