[Music]
now that all of the major contenders
have been released it’s time to decide
which modern BR headset is the king in
2050 the robots have taken all of our
jobs the robots were kind enough to put
together this job simulator so that
humans could remember what it was like
to job welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re pitting the HTC vive the
oculus rift and the PlayStation VR
against each other to determine which
two mice is the superior virtual reality
headset I don’t give a monkey’s Franklin
sbatch onto auto truster to determine
the winner we’re gonna go through five
distinctive rounds and list off the pros
and cons of each device in the
respective category and give one point
to the winner the best of five rounds
wins let the games begin
Wow blastin n whoa round one launch
price
[Applause]
[Music]
how much does the future cost quite a
lot it turns out it was honestly like a
dream come true the vibe is the first up
and starts the round off with a head
shaker of a price
this device launched in April of 2016
for an astounding 799 American dollars
and while that included some great
technology it was a price point far out
of reach for the average consumer yeah
800 bucks let’s open it up and see
what’s going on so I’m excited this
price includes two controllers divide
itself and provides signature light
boxes and while it may have included
more accessories than the others it is
by far the most expensive right out of
the box while the vibe may be a good
product its price point surely scared
off a lot of potential customers yeah
more cords hdmi cords USB cords power
cords the oculus rift comes next at a
more modest yet still slightly
unreasonable asking price of 599
American bucks
this included the rift a sensor a mini
remote and an Xbox one controller the
trackpad thing is a little weird I’ve
also got my weird fingerprints all over
it while it’s a little more enticing
than the Mammoth’s 799 dollar price tag
of the bite 599 is still a large chunk
of change
[Music]
finally we have the PlayStation VR which
was touted as the everyman virtual
reality device its price point reflected
this distinction as it was released with
a much more modest $399 price tag this
did not include the necessary
PlayStation camera which comes at an
extra $60 or the move controllers
however for next 100 bucks you could buy
a PSP our bundle which includes the
aforementioned accessories and a game
which is always a nice bonus we also
have the PlayStation VR demo disc which
is cool it does contain some additional
demos that highlight what the VR can do
there is however one further hidden cost
with the HTC vive and oculus rift as
they both require a really powerful PC
to run and if you don’t already have one
you’re looking at a minimum of around
$1,200 for a VR ready rig whereas the
ps4 at the time of writing currently
retails for about 300 bucks easily
making the PSP aren’t the most
affordable option for the average
consumer winner PlayStation VR so what I
do
hawky get the diamond counted a route to
tracking technology and immersion ah
virtual reality wouldn’t really be
anything without a great sense of
immersion and these devices to a decent
job at it
the HTC vibes increased price point
definitely comes in handy here as the
device comes with the affirm engine
light boxes which are placed around the
playing area and act as sensors to match
the game with your body movement the
most exciting about the vibe is that it
gives us that creative opportunity to
break the rules and make new rules this
means not only can you move your head
but you can also walk around in a
virtual space and even some physical
movements will be replicated by your
in-game persona
however this comes at a price literally
and this requires a large enough playing
area to properly set up meaning anyone
with a small living room or playing area
is basically Sol if you can manage the
price and have a space to do it it’s
really a blast and definitely worth
trying though I don’t have anywhere in
my apartment I could use it the oculus
rift provides a much more standard and
typical gaming experience as we
mentioned previously the device comes
with an Xbox one controller and this is
because you’ll be doing most of your
playing on that oh dude oh shit oh my
god
Wow further accessories are on the way
including their own version of light
boxes and movement controllers it was
just a regular old Xbox controller at
launch
the rift encourages you to remain seated
at all times and control your character
via the Xbox controller which
unfortunately limits the immersion
experience and makes it feel more like a
virtual video game than real virtual
reality so cool but definitely not as
cool I’m out the game I’m off this game
I’m off this game I’m off this yeah he
don’t move the psvr follows in the same
vein as you can either use your typical
Dual Shock controller or those silly
move things while some games implement
interesting ways to use the controller
like taking a drag on a cigar and
actually blowing out smoke on-screen it
remains a fairly typical video game
experience
while they’re all definitely a blast
there’s no denying the wondrous joy and
immersion that the vibe offers for a
higher price
players can actually feel like they’re
in a virtual world complete with head
and body movements it actually feels
like virtual reality and the next
generation of Technology rather than
just another video gaming gimmick winner
HTC vive a new era of reality is arrived
experience the freedom of VR without
boundaries
Rowntree design while the vibe may be
the most powerful device of the bunch it
comes at the sacrifice of comfort the
visor is absolutely gargantuan and looks
like something straight out of a
science-fiction movie
so to be honest you look a little
ridiculous while you’re wearing it you
can’t really go back and look at games
the same way you did before it is also
by far the bulkiest and heaviest of the
three devices and while you may grow
accustomed to it as you become immersed
in the stellar visual world the device
provides its daunting upon the first
glance are we wearing this a lot in the
sweating a little bit
these games are you’re actually moving
in these games getting an exact fit is
also more of a drawn-out experience than
it should be due to the velcro straps
and a myriad of cords are required to
hook up the vibe to the PC meaning you
might be a tangled mess by the time you
finally get to gaming opportunities to
send humans virtually into unsafe spaces
the oculus rift may also look a little
ridiculous to outside viewers but
there’s no denying that it’s more
comfortable than the bulky 5 yeah I can
do this however there’s some dense foam
on the faceplate and on the back of the
straps so even if it is a snug fit it’s
at least comfy the rift also comes with
easily adjustable velcro straps and 3d
surround sound ear pads which will
definitely help the immersion factor
once again oh thank goodness that’s over
while the other devices may look a tad
silly the PSP R looks much more modern
and welcoming the black and white
control scheme gives the device a sleek
modern look and the front-facing blue
lights look nice as well as provide
functionality to the headset
[Music]
rather than the velcro straps of the
other two devices Sony went with a
single mat strap that wraps around your
head which is much nicer than velcro as
it’s far more seamless comfortable and
adjustable the thick cushion also holds
your head in place nicely so the device
isn’t slipping and sliding as the other
two devices are want to do and then you
put it over your head and then you can
make fine adjustments with this little
wheel right here Sony also has displaced
the weight of device to the top of your
head so there’s far less pressure felt
on your face than with the rift and the
five winner PlayStation VR
round form controllers at launch the
vibe was the only device released with
custom-built motion controllers which is
indisputably a plus most experiences are
based around a pair of motion
controllers that fit in your hands like
remote controls each controller has a
touchpad and a trigger and they don’t
look like anything else on the market
which gives a positive edge to the vibes
originality and design they work very
well in terms of tracking hand movements
they’re comfortable easy to use and they
add a great sense of immersion to the
games that a simple old-school
controller simply can’t compete with yes
I’m flying through the sky speaking of
old-school controllers this is exactly
what comes with the rift and to say that
it’s a bit disappointing would be kind
of an understatement as we said before
the rift shift at launch with a regular
Xbox controller and while there is
certainly nothing wrong with the
controller itself it really has no place
in virtual reality
no no VR is meant to be encompassing and
immersive in terms of physical movement
so sitting on a chair and playing with
an Xbox controller makes the rift seem
more like a tech gimmick than a legit
form of virtual reality the rift does
have dual motion controllers like the
vibe coming post-launch though they do
come with a rather hefty 199 dollar
price tag full game controller just sort
of stand here so that’s exactly why they
included their own the PS VR is exactly
similar to the rift although not quite
as disappointing to the same degree
the PSP are ships with a standard Dual
Shock for wireless controller and as we
said with the rift playing virtual
reality with a standard video game
controller seems almost sacrilegious
it’s a setup cobbled together from
various pieces of Sony hardware however
you can also buy either separately or
through a bundle a pair of PlayStation
Move controllers these work very well
for certain games as it provides device
with the necessary sense of immersion
however these controllers look a bit
silly and the technology is a little
dated as these were first released way
back on the ps3 during the Wii motion
controller phase feels limited compared
to the vibe controllers oculus touch or
sometimes even a regular game they never
really took off back then and while
they’re definitely provide a better
sense of fun than the rift they simply
aren’t as modern or a slick looking as
the v controllers winner HTC vive when
everything works the vibe is the best
experience you can have in VR right this
min
around five games there’s nothing like a
few good launch titles to get the
systems moving unfortunately as is
usually the case with system launches
most of the titles on all three systems
are a complete simplistic crap so we’re
gonna highlight the few exclusive
standouts the HTC vive is unique as it’s
the only system with access to the steam
distribution portal meaning it has the
largest amount of VR optimized titles
games like the Brookhaven experiment
vanishing realms and Island 359 are fun
experiences but they’re still in early
access and have a long way to go
20-17 looks to blow the VR world wide
open as the vive will host BR versions
of fallout 4 and doom something we’ve
all definitely been looking forward to
but we’ll have to reserve judgment until
we see those the rift lacks the access
to steam content but at the time this is
not really a huge loss for the device
matt said it’s not exactly as if the
oculus rifts games are setting the world
abuzz either some games like Kronos and
edge of nowhere are good fun but the
system lacks a real killer app there are
simply no halos or Uncharted to be found
here get out of my head finally we come
to the psvr
and it’s every man persona definitely
comes through in the games department
titles like Batman Arkham BR and until
dawn rush of blood aren’t decent titles
while Res Infinite is a definite must
play title furthermore these games are
actually fun which is you know kind of
the purpose of games admittedly
it’s definitely not a stellar lineup but
it’s by far the best option for the
three as of now winner PlayStation VR
while this essentially became a two
horse race between the vibe and the PSB
are the latter of those two is by far
the most comfortable and affordable
while it may not be as powerful as the
two PC based headsets the fact that it
has a stronger library of games as of
now gives it the final edge
take for example super hypercube a game
where you have to look around virtual
reality and rotate three-dimensional
objects to fit through a series of holes
so what are your thoughts on the new VR
hardware and which device is your
favorite be sure to debate in the
comments and subscribe to watchmojo.com
this is actually really scary and weird
I don’t like it what is this what is
