Support NeoGAF

[SerodD]

Of course they are, what are they not working on these days?

 

[SerodD]

You hear that Yahoo, get your checkbook ready!

Nice.

 

[Branduil]

How would games being exclusive to certain headsets even be enforceable on an open platform like the PC? Any game with VR support would surely be modded to support other headsets.

Dang. I didn't know many people here deeply hated Razer...
Personally, their mice are insanely good. My deathadder is just pure boss. Can't say I have tried anything else (besides a $12 mouse pad from them), but their laptop looks insane

 

[FiggyCal]

I can't imagine that Razer could make something that rivals Project Morpheus or Oculus Rift, but I guess if they throw enough money at it...

They had a "no PS3" policy for their products and that makes them instantly unlikable.

2014: The year everyone made a VR Headset

VR Wars: The Oculus Clone Wars

Just make sure to buy two headsets, one will break sooner or later.

Not making PS3 products could be reasonably explained. The reason they're considered unlikable is because the CEO's reason was basically "because I don't play my PS3".

Well, the PC is an open ended market. There's room for plenty of players. May whomever gets it right for the right price win.

"It isn't a Razer product unless it has a truly stupid name"

Most of them are named after poisonous animals.

Do they have a Platypus mouse yet?

 

[Hazaro]

Well the good news is it will actually be high end.

That's actually all I really want as long as there is someway to turn off the green LEDs it will have.

Amen. Im not at all against paying good money for something that is nice.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Oh yeah, the infamous Razer Facehugger

VR. The new Android microconsole.

 

[CLEEK]

I'm holding off buying into VR until Mad Catz releases a headset.

 

[ScepticMatt]

It begins ...

Korean/Chinese to make HMDs soon later

I'm waiting for Fisher Price to release one.

 

[Orayn]

I just want us to get to the point where there's an open or open-ish VR standard that works with a variety of devices that have the same basic setup as the Oculus. The idea being that VR support would be something akin to triple monitor support, where it's not a proprietary technique you're good to go as long as your hardware has all the basic features needed for compatibility.

If it takes some VR headsets of questionable quality to help establish that standard, then so be it. Their loss is (eventually) everyone's gain.

 

[Grayman]

The implication that VR games on PC will be exclusive to certain headsets is truly sickening.

hopefully these things are commoditized down to displays with specific sensor sets now. There is no room for monopolistic competition in PC vr.

 

[∀ Narayan]

It'll break.

Should have been the second post. Every Razer product I've owned ended up breaking after months of regular use.

 

[CadetMahoney]

I'm waiting for Fisher Price to release one.

It would be a better build quality than madcatz.

I've only had one experience with a friends keyboard, won't be touching anything razor myself.

DirectX would be a huge help in standardizing some kind of VR API.

 

[Jhriad]

Great! I always wanted an overpriced but poorly constructed VR device that breaks after a year!

Maybe this won't break not long after purchase like most Razer products. We can hope. EDIT: Not that I would ever actually purchase anything from Razer again. Two keyboards and two mice later I've learned my lesson. Never again.

 

[Hidden One]

Apple gonna come in and revolutionize.

 

[melos]

Razer will end up tying this in with their subscription computer where you can add on their VR device for only an extra $30 each month.....On the plus side you'd always have the most up to date verison of their VR headset! /s

 

[Grayman]

I think unity has been big on many platforms and Oculus themselves have targeted android. Directx is a non starter for open PC products.

 

[The Incredible Muffin]

The Razer 'Snipeface'. Or 'Deathgaze' or 'Fucknugget'

It isn't a Razer product unless it has a truly stupid name. Also, I don't trust them to make hardware that looks like it wasn't doodled by a 12 year old in his trapper keeper

This made me laugh way harder than it should

 

[Totobeni]

So everyone in here seems to think Razer are shit, if PC-GAF could have anyone make their VR headset, who would it be?

Nvidia (if it's not locked to their GPU) or Logitech I guess.

I'd hope so! Will happily buy a Huawei headset with better specs than its competitors for half the price
