The editors didn't like

  • Setup is far from straight forward thanks to sensor placement
  • Occasional crashes when installing
  • Room Space requires a large area to play in
  • Headphones not built-in
  • Neither cheap nor simple
  • Inevitably bulky & cumbersome
  • Very few great games
  • Pain to set up
  • Software is buggy
  • Expensive and needs lots of space
  • Not to beat the proverbial horse here but
  • Despite all the positives I've mentioned here
  • Only a small handful of gamers will get to experience VR on the HTC Vive – not because they don't want to
  • But because $800 / £689 / €899 is just out of their price
  • Hefty price tag
  • Initial setup is fiddly
  • Requires working knowledge of PC setups
  • Won't work with gaming laptops
  • Heavier
  • Less secure on your bonce than Oculus Rift
  • Fiddly firmware and a mess of cables
  • Currently lacking fully formed games
  • Very expensive
  • Need lots of room for Room Scale
  • Set-up may involve holes in walls
  • Slight stuttering
  • Games aren't polished
  • It requires a high-end PC to run. Long wires and lots of equipment take time and space to set up. Steam VR offers a lot of software but it isn't always beginner-friendly
  • Expensive
  • It's a fingerprint magnet
  • Not as enticing as the S7 Edge
  • Most expensive headset on the market
  • Still aren't quite enough killer apps out there
  • So. Many. Cables
  • Requires a lot of space
  • Cabling can be awkward
  • Lack of standout games and apps
  • Bulky
  • Needs to be tethered to PC
  • Requires a powerful PC to run
  • Convoluted installation process
  • Headset cord can get in the way
  • Field of view isn't wide enough for full immersion
  • Headset can get sweaty
  • Clearing space can be a pain
  • Especially in smaller British homes – but it is worth it
  • Set up can be a bit fiddly
  • Steam VR still crashes
  • Lens contours can occasionally be seen in scenes with bright light sources
  • Headset weighting needs improvement
  • Cr

  • Experiencia completamente inmersiva, Ausencia de motion sickness, Comodidad y calidad de acabados
  • Instalación compleja, Precio elevado
  • Hacía falta la madurez que ha alcanzado hoy en día la tecnología para que el usuario medio pueda disfrutar de la realidad virtual en casa , algo que muchos ya soñábamos desde hace ya muchos años. Después de tantos prototipos, de tantos años (de acuerdo...
