Just the concept of the vive seems more advanced than that of the rift right now. I'm interested in seeing what oculus comes out with next but I don't have high hopes that it will be better than what it is. At least in how the companies behind it currently treat the rift as they are now. It is a peripheral and should be marketed and engineered as such. Throw a walled garden up around it and you'll soon find that you'll be destroying that wall from within just to get people on the outside through.From post: 187317, Topic: tid=11212, author=GWhipple wrote:I'm more interested in Vive, they (Rift and Vive) seem similar when it comes to hardware, with a few pros to the Vive in my opinion.

I will probably not buy either VR anytime soon cause the price is too high and I think a TrackIR or similar would be a better investment for me.
Also, VR it's cool. But in a game like this, I use the keyboard a lot, if I'm hooked up to a VR headset I will press the wrong keys all the time. ^^
Apple succeeded in doing the opposite so mileage could vary.
That being said, I'd already have a vive if life was a bit different right now. Hands down, I'd rather support a more open system than one that is closed. One of the reason's why I've kicked myself a few times over for buying EL off of Steam and not direct.
