With the PS VR price and release window finally announced, buyers can make a better informed decision about which they should go with. Many developers are also on-board to create VR content on Sony’s console including Electronic Arts, Sega, Square Enix, and more. Along with EVE: Valkyrie also coming to Sony’s console are Rez Infinite, RIGS and VR content exclusively on Playstation for Star Wars: Battlefront. Like the Vive, PS4’s VR headset will allow users to play non-VR in virtual reality via a cinematic mode. Not to mention the Star Wars Trials On Tattooine game. Along with the ability to play “flat” Steam games in a virtual room, any upcoming games from Valve like Portal will almost undoubtedly come to the Vive. But most interestingly, with Valve involved, the HTC Vive will have access to Steam’s library. The HTC Vive will see similar various VR games from small studios in addition to the titles the headset ships with. Not all are quality, but at least you’ll have no shortage of content come March 28. It’s also worth noting that the Oculus Rift will launch with 30 titles. The Oculus Rift will see titles such as EVE: Valkyrie, Rockband VR, and the shooter Bullet Train-a shooter that lets you fire at enemies and even catch bullets to throw it back at opponents.

Much like the current state of affairs with console and PC gaming, titles won’t work with other VR headsets by default. While not big budget titles, there are already some interesting Tilt Brush creations that have hit the interwebz.īut it isn’t just about the games that come with each VR unit, but the ones on the way as well. Shipping in May of this year, the $799 headset comes with two wireless Vive controllers and games like Job Simulator, Fantastic Contraption and Google’s Tilt Brush. HTC and Valve’s VR preorder presents buyers with the most expensive option yet. The most expensive of the three is the HTC Vive. The company recommends rigs that start at $949. Though this too comes with hidden costs: the Oculus will require a powerful PC to work with it. Along with the headset, Oculus is pairing its helmet with an Xbox One controller and two games for those who buy now: EVE: Valkyrie and Lucky’s Tale. On the Oculus Rift front, users can expect to pay $599 for its unit and expect shipment in late March. But all said and done, it remains cheaper than other VR gaming options…

Or if you’re new to the PS4 family, you can buy a new PS4 bundle with the camera included for $549, then the $399 PS VR on top of it.

And you’ll need a PS4, of course, which itself costs $349. The VR headwear is thoughtful enough to ship with earbuds and mic but not gracious enough to come with another requirement: the Playstation Camera-which is sold separately for $60. Of the three major gaming virtual reality headsets, Playstation VR does the best in regards to price. Sony made no mention of tracking area, as the PS VR is a seated experience, but Oculus offers 5 x 11 feet of tracking while the Vive can get up to 15 x 15 feet.Īll three require HDMI and USB connections–meaning a giant wire will flow out the back of your head, Matrix-style (which seems somewhat appropriate for this kind of product). The Oculus Rift and HTC Vive both have resolution clocking in at 2160×1200, and both offer a field of view of 110 degrees. Included in the glowing headset is a 5.7-inch screen, a resolution of 1920xRBGx1080, a field of view of 100 degrees. Sony listed out the Playstation VR’s tech specs on screen during its GDC 2016 press conference.

Oculus Rift’s headset is relatively bland, but the Touch controllers coming later this year look among the coolest of any VR controller. PS VR provides an inline remote on the unit cable to increase and decrease volume and the lights on the front match the glowing controllers. The headsets each have their individual perks: the HTC Vive, for example, adds an external camera on the front to see out the other side. The Oculus presents users with a smooth rectangle front, the PS VR goes with a black and white design with striking lights on the front and the HTC Vive goes with the dimpled look. That said, all three headsets carry distinctive looks.

The lameness factor almost negates the design.

But without a doubt you’ll look ridiculous to those on the outside looking at you–regardless of which headset you choose. You may feel cool in virtual reality in your EVE: Valkyrie spaceship or fighting enemies in Bullet Train or even in your VR work cubicle. You will not look cool wearing any of these headsets. Be warned: it is impossible to look cool using a VR headset
