Yeah nah.
Get a gear vr setup with riftcat and vorpx. Same thing for a quarter of the price and as the phone is doing most of the processing you dont need a brand new ultimate spec gaming pc to run it.
Galaxy S8 + GearVR + MSI laptop with 960m + Riftcat and Steam VR = Hot laps around Albert Park in a Red Bull Renault in Assetto Corsa in full VR. FlyInside runs XPlane beautifully (have flown around australia in VR)
Now, immersion..... until we get pressure sensitive gloves and some way to move like a fucking human being instead of a teleporting statue (or tigger) that points where he wanta to go then clicks a button there is little to no immersion in any game that doesnt make good natural use of a hand controller. Running flight sims with a full hotas or racing sims with a racing wheel setup in VR is about as close as youll get until then. And its gooooood. The main Vive titles ove had a crack at all involve pointing and clicking somewhere to move. This is arse and utterly breaks any kind of immersiveness for me. To get right into anything it needs to be sit down which makes the major headsets complete overkill.
I wouldnt be paying the $2000+ necessary for a vive or rift setup at the moment. Its just not worth it. Even if youve got money burning holes in your pocket.
(Also - Trento Bondone hill climb in VR mode. Lots of fun.)
Does it come with lighthouses and Vive controllers or can you use the ones from the first gen? My headset is first gen and I have to get it fixed, but I might pick up a Vive pro and donate the first gen to my daughter so we can play VR stuff together. Still, my very favorite VR experience is Rec Room and that’s free.
