Soldato
Apparently its getting officially announced this week at Gdc hope the specs are good step up from cv1.
Rift s whos getting one?
- Thread starter danoliver1
- Start date
Still no news yet. Apparently theres an nda until tomorrow.
Nda lifts at 3pm GMT so we will know more then. Fingers crossed it will be a stellar upgrade over cv1.
Feels more like a reboot than a full blown sequel.
I cant quite fathom why the quest has more res and oled while the more powerful platform(PC) is neutered.

This^ if its the same panel they use in the GO then the black levels will be awful, infact they should be renamed to 50 shades of grey levels.
Looking pretty good hyped for the release date now.
Same here if its not an upgrade then back it goes. Iam still keeping an eye on the reverb and index though as a back up plan.
Has anyones shipped yet? Mine just says arriving tomorrow.
What!!!!! When did you order?
Got my dispatch email from amazon will be here tomorrow. Ordered on the 30th april.
Its out for delivery let the waiting commence.
Its here time to play.
First impressions
The good:
Easy to set up(no faffing with sensors).
Screen door is almost gone.
Fov slightly increased over cv1.
Clarity of the screen is very good especially if you use supersampling. Textures are much more defined and fine detail is easier to see.
Halo headstrap is quite comfy.
Godrays greatly reduced.
No external sensors.
The bad:
The built in speakers are rubbish. My over ear headphone fit just fine though.
The foam they use for the face cushion is quite rough will be getting a vr cover replacement.
Blacks are worse than the cv1 but not too far behind.
When asw kicks in fps goes down to 40 which is too low. (Maybe a bug?)
Should you buy one? If you want inside out tracking and the clarity/res/no sde then yes.

Tried a bit of elite dangerous ss set to 1.6 and wow it looks fantastic, everything is so sharp and txt is nice and clear. Assetto corsa and project cars 2 were just as impressive the detail in the cars and livery was just wow the textures just seem to pop compared to the cv1. If this is considered a small upgrade i cant imagine what the hp reverb looks like with its 2k panels.
There are 2 options in the ed menu supersampling and hmd quality i think its called. I just used oculus tray tools though.
Batteries should last weeks not days? yes rechargeable are fine.gutted my batteries have died already and dont have anymore until pay day next weekim assuming its safe to use rechargeables in the controllers? as may just get a few rechargeable sets
Asw will now be 40fps. Maybe lower supersampling or turn asw off see if it helps.
Its a bug in the firmware oculus know .
Try these setting for better sound.
Are you getting the white static flashes?
