I need to vent
1st off this is not aimed at anyone here, we are humans there is no such thing as pure objectivity when giving an opinion and we all have some bias..... when it comes to VR I feel the rift as a <slight> edge for my needs, others feel the vive has the edge... and that is 100% fine, and what a dull world it would be if we were all drones with exactly the same thoughts.
but my god some of the BS i have seen on other sites........ As you may know Alien Isolation is getting a VR release soon and i am following it like a dog with a bone being not only a VR but also alien franchise fanboy that i am (AI in VR is arguably my perfect game!) .... its fan made so things take time. iirc it will be coming 1st with oculus native support (revive works i believe) and then steam VR will be next up in a patch once the oculus one is working correctly.
the response to that news i saw on a site was that the rift is a piece of junk VR not worth even half of the summer sale price. Most people disagreed, however it was scary (imo) the amount of people who agreed.
I would like to think most people here could agree the products are at least in the same ballpark. VR is still in its infancy. imo all BS posts saying stuff like the above do is spread FUD and may harm VR as a whole.
ok rant over, as you were
