Man I can’t wait to see what he thinks of the index
4:40 as someone with a magnum shnoz I can relate.
In the intro i feel like I’ve been shot
You should work for HTC - So they dont sell us garbage
the plastic on the cameras
you know whos real when someone is actually complaining to get something for 800€ for free... Firist one Ive ever seen, thanks!
I don’t even have enough money for a vice
I’ll take vibe please
subtitles go zucc juice then disappear
was looking for this comment. WTF?!
Well, it is bigger... And as Linus explains, it's definitely badder...
4:08 what is that game
I want it
Is there some kind of hidden tactic to even get over 1k likes. What could it possibly be?
vive 2: electric boogaloo
At 2:43 you are saying $30 instead of 30% :)
okay enough waiting after this sponsor
This is going to look so dumb when in 10yrs you get a nano filament installed into your hand which uses your own mineral and metallics from your blood to build Neuro and occular stimulating nanobots.
Index...
Did he got payed by oculus?
PS4- $300
PSVR with move controllers- $350
Total $650 not including tax... It's Hella cheaper
Andrews Mainly pointless Also less future proof, versatile, and supported.
I’d rather spend $800 on something that’ll last me at least a few generations than $650 on something that’ll last me a couple years
May i PLEASE have a free vive pro......... and compatible pc also😄
This product is so stupid since you could get a complete Samsung Odyssey WMR device including controllers with same screen resolution at half the price. I recently got the upgraded Odyssey+ for $300 which is fantastic value for money.
This is going to look so stupid 10000 years ago when vr was a chip embedded in our DNA
I’m sticking with my Oculus Go
Pretty scathing video title lol.
Gay
8:27 A REALLY BIG LIE, LINUS !!!
vive pro is just crap - especially for that high price **epic facepalm**
Normal better
You should review the Oculus Quest
Do the Oculus Rift S!
how much does the HTC vive cost in norway
Can I have it if you don't want it?
So you’re saying we need to have a vive if we are gonna buy a vive pro, welp i’m not that rich dude, i can’t, too expensive.
(I didn’t say the money is mine, but yes i’m not that rich)
Edit: so like i found a Not that expensive vive pro with vive pro controllers. (on amazon, it’s sad that life is limited, we can’t play that much or travel the whole earth.)
You shouldn't buy this for moral reasons alone. Don't let HTC think for ONE second that this is an acceptable price.
I'm receiving my HTC Vive pro tomorrow, I got the package that includes new base stations and controllers, so I'm hoping my experience is better then yours. Currently my first gen Vive still works but has busted audio, so can't wait for this one. Your points are pretty valid though for folks that only are getting the new headset.
Thankyou for saving me enough money to buy the controllers at the same time as the headset
I've found a complete list of all VR Headsets ever produced and all future Headsets in comparison: delight-vr.com/blog/complete-list-of-vr-headsets-2019/
The vive pro is extreme , I use my lenevo explorer
This exists as a disgusting money grab from Valve.
Oculus: Let's drive consumer interest by creating more user friendly devices with more polished software, and only release hardware when we know it's ready.
Vive: HEY GUYS NEW HEADSET EVERY 3 MONTHS AT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BE A BUSINESS OWNER
Hold on, what the fuck case was that?!?
Hmmm, i spent 10$ in a software called trinusvr and now i can use my PS VR on my pc. Problem solved.
Oculus rift s bb
Just asking but can my laptop run vrchat at 60fps with htc vive:
GTX 1050 2gb
I7 7700k
16gb ram ddr3
Windows 10
@Cryptic Light how many would i need
u just need to make sure you have enough usb 3.0 slots for your vr
thats perfect for vr basically mid range
The vive pro is the reason why I switched to Oculus.
So it’s not worth the upgrade?
You see today after one year of this review how Linus did not have enough product knowledge about the PRO and what is planned from wireless option, ...you did not do well here, sorry
LTT: Let's unbox it
Me: Yay i'm so excited
LTT: After this sponsored message
Me: ... Get. The. Gun.
VALVE INDEX FTW!
You just said Canadian pesos... ☹️
Is it me or this guy is speaking in alien language.......
Ooh im just high
why is this guy always making himself look like an idiot?
*_zucc juice_* 1:12
7:30 I thought you said BabeStations lol
Avaku vr porn
Google Plastic 2.0
I think the Valve Index is better than this in every measurable way - including price.
Well, it's been a year since this video. So probably not surprising. But yeah I agree, the Index is looking good.
Saddest part? The Samsung Odyssey, a $300 Windows Mixed Reality HMD was able to compete with this HMD and actually beats it in some areas like the microphone quality.
Linus just doesn’t like anything.
wait, so this is a "pro" version that is actually targeting businesses, and not just used as a fancy marketing word? Seems like it, since it's bulkier, it has a 93m2 range (way bigger than most people's apartments, let alone their room)...
Newsflash: Linus can't appreciate the brilliance of the Pro because of his massive honker.
I brought a vive pro - have loved it since the day I brought it and never had any issues what so ever. Mind you I never tried a vive 1.
Where did you brought it to?
So... if I'!m a typical poor consumer... do you recommend me to buy Oculus Rift? And what about the sensors? Rift doesnt have those two blacky-boxy-sensors, does it? Thanx to anyone who answer.
@mushnoodle I have watched lot of videos and I have made a decision :) Ill buy HTC Vive, but used. Not the new one. Its much more worth than buying any shitty Microsoft Mixed Reality headset :D
Anyways, thanx for answering.
If you're a poor consumer you might want to look into mixed reality headsets (but i heard they might be a bit flimsy in terms of material and tracking?) or consoles and phone based sets but those require you to have a certain phone or the playstation or the nintendo switch. (the prices on these vary a bit)
oculus quest 64gb is at 400$ which is just released for preorder. (you can try the set out in some stores once its released and its a standalone set that doesnt need a computer)
the go is cheaper but i wouldnt really recommend it over the quest imo. If you already have a decent pc (costs a lot too after all) rift S also costs 400$.
or you look into second hand Vive&riftcv1 since some people might want to get rid of theirs in favor of a new set?
the valve headset and future vive is probably going to be pretty expensive so i wouldnt count on those.
Well... if you don’t want it
Why i cant have a VIVE Pro for free?? Guess i have to lick your shoes later
i love my pro but i hate the lighthouses
seems like i had none of the problems you had
I'm happy with my very cheap 2nd hand Vanilla Vive I got.. At work we have 2 vives, 5 Oculus Rifts, and not long ago a Vive Pro.... I tried the Vive Pro and man, that was buggy, heavy like Linus said in fast paced games. Not to mention, the signal kept dropping out and the image pixelating to keep up with the bandwidth. It literally goes from the best image it can give you to a 'censored' artifacting look even at 2m away from the transmitter. I think it is very prone to interference.
Does anyone know what that keyboard he was using with the corsair one was???
Sorry The vive pro is already out...Valve can't count to a third product....
@ILovePlebs It's a running joke about Halflife 3....it was never released and Valve denies it will be a thing...Valve doesn't do threes....
Crowz what do you mean?
HTC Vive is overpriced, customer support is awkardly defensive about everything and they try to enforce a 1-year warranty even in countries where it's 2-year by law.
This is my biggest complaint. So many reviews of issues with customer support, or being forced to pay to mail in a defective unit, really scares me away and to the Rift and other options. Support is important.
I'll give you 200$ for it.
Zucc juice
After nearly a year with the vive Pro full 2.0 kit, I'll say it was one of the best decisions I made, it seems perfectly adapted to my head, didn't hurt my nose and feels ten times better than the original Vive.
I'm still surprised that this guy is heterosexual (not that there's anything wrong with that)
you know I could've just taken that off your hands and used it just as the headset and been happy.
Dislike at "RIGHT AFTER!"
9:32 Isnt this just another radiation generator stick in to the year? Worming up the brain:D you should check it with a radiation metter:)
What game is that he is playing at the start>?
@Grass Hopper thx
@uraharasama1 I found it :) It's called BOXVR
same question here
Awesome review, thank you!
Sim racing :)
This guy is so negative
I absolutely fully agree with what you mention in this video. I have an Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. I mostly only use the Rift due to discomfort because of the weight of the Vive. I even bought a delux headset to try and fix the comfort issue, but it still not as good for me as the lighter Rift. Like you, I'm also blessed with a big nose, but I doubt that is the actual problem. lol I won't be getting the newest Vive anytime soon.
@LinusTechTips think I can get it then, to replace my DK1 Oculus Rift?
I don't mind buying the controllers later.
So oculus wins again?
I have a rift should I buy a Vive?
No, stick with the Oculus until you can buy an actual new better VR headset like the upcoming windows mixed reality headsets. All of the headsets that are out right now are about the same. You won't notice a difference in the vive than the Oculus.
I'm just lazy. I'm waiting for the mixed reality contacts. I want yellow with lizard pupils.
Holy sponsored message, that looks seriously sexy
LINUS STOP BEING SO FUCKING MISERABLE YOU FUCK
You are exerting way too much energy swinging your arms around. I mean, fuck.
My issue with this thing is only one. I cannot use my favorite Headphones because they dont fit over the thicker Headwrist. In every other Way i think it is better. Fits better in my Head and stays there opposite to the normal Vive without Deluxe Strap.
parli troppo!!!!
take the blue pill take the red pill or Vive
Valves been getting away with overpricing their shit long enough
Not for long hopefully, with the upcoming Valve Index and Rift S/Quest
I feel like it's still not the time to invest in vr yet...
Definitely NOT!! at least wait till June when both Valve Index and Rift S (along with Quest) are released, and possibly Vive revealing more info re: Comsos. Its too late to get 1st gen Vive or Rift
have you tried a proper VR setup yet? because i had the same mindset until i tried a setup and was completely mind blown with it, watching does not do it justice at all, give it a decent go and then decide
Big, bulky and ludicrously expensive- Yea, I`ll wait.
Hi
VR is so amazing, just watching it, does it no justice (it's like describing the most beautiful actress you saw in person with stick figure drawing). VR is the most amazing, it's sometimes even better than the real world. I'm glad I've tried VR. The emotions the same game brings is multiplied so many times.
God bless, Proverbs 31
SevenDeMagnus google earth vr is also beautiful. Being able to go back to the house and streets I grew up on gave me major nostalgia. Thats when I knew VR was special and not just a gimmick.
Send it to me then since I can’t get a free one
SO this is the true rift 2.
Your channel fu@#%$! rocks!
VR is the future, but the future ain't here yet.
