Thinking about a vr headset

[fantasticCG]

Hi Guys

I've never tried VR before, what would be a good headset?
How much room do you need?
Are the games good?

What are peoples experiences.

Thanks

There are games that you can play sitting at your desk to be honest.

But for the more full motion ones, as long as you can control yourself, then you're fine as long as you have a place you can stand where your reach (standing still) is clear of obstacles.

I've been very pleased with my Rift. I don't think I'll upgrade to the Rift S, but if I was buying now I'd probably pick it for the higher resolution and not needing any external sensors.

On the subject of resolution, the only games I have played on the Rift where it's particularly noticeable are racing games - when you're looking towards a distant corner or road sign, it's rather pixellated. But I've noticed no issues in any other game type.

Some of the experiences you get in VR are jaw dropping, and I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks for the reply mate I'll see what the reviews are like for the rift S and oculus quest.

Vr is definelty a game changer and amazing experience. All the headsets are good but oculus probably offers best bang for buck. I play in a space between 3-4 metres squared quite comfortably.

I bought the headset for simming both flight and racing and for that it has been worth every penny. The games made dedicated for vr have been okay in my experience. There are a couple of real gems out there but most are a bit average in my opinion.

So you stand up for some of the games?
Not sure I've really got 3-4 metres from the desk though
