@maschi Glad you’re enjoying them (or some). Sure, I can include both FileJoker and Subyshare links (for
@needs more loli) on future uploads. I agree about the FPS. They do lag a bit here and there, which was confusing to me because the NA VR stuff I get from NA is 60fps and never stutters. And it can’t be the bitrate because the NA stuff is just as high, I believe. I’ll have to give them the 60fps treatment (and some color correction) to see how it looks then. Thanks for that suggestion, I didn’t even think about it.
As you know I don’t use a PC player I use the Samsung Gear VR, a phone app/headset developed by Oculus. I’m sure it is 10% what the Rift is. On my Note 5 it works pretty good. Way better than the smaller apps/3rd party headsets I tried. I have titles from BaDoink but I’ve been using the Gear VR to watch them. Yeah, I once entertained the notion of getting into something bigger like the Vive or the Rift, but…I would only take advantage of this stuff. If I was into gaming as well I could see the benefit, but I hardly have the time (OR THE PRIVACY!) to enjoy a little VR on my phone. PLUS…I had to take a business trip two months ago and I took my Gear VR with me. 1000% better than changing channels at the Sheraton, if you know what I mean. I wouldn’t be able to take my PC with me if I had a Rift.
Agreed! A standard would be nice, but since there are competing gear out there, there will be different kinds of presentation. Amazing how many different types of files the GearVR can toggle views for. I’ve only used two. And through the Gear VR app and the Samsung VR app within it, they even have streaming VR available that is updated almost daily with things. I don’t think this is as gimmicky as some think it is.
Oh, and LOL Yes, Knights Visual VR would make me pass out with anticipation before I even hit Play!
For anybody thinking of getting into VR
@maschi is absolutely right, the Vive then Oculus are the best consumer experience out there. But, when you’re curious about it like I was going with an entry-level setup will get you in the door. He just happened to go for the gusto right off the bat, which worked for him since he doesn’t mind eating noodles for 6 months. HAHA! Me, I opted to try cheaper variations until I simply lucked out on the Gear VR find. I tried four different headsets from eBay, and they all worked well. The only advantage the Gear VR has over them is that it has a specific accompanying app and I don’t have to tinker for each video I tried to watch, plus the snappier interface. Check eBay there are many for under $20. Then all you need is a free app for your Android or iPhone.
