[Heavy Danish accent] How much dedicated RAM will I need?

Disclaimer: This video isn't gonna be like my other videos.

0:00:05.675,0:00:08.966
If you're only gonna watch my [indistinct] League of Legends videos, then stop watching.

0:00:08.966,0:00:12.002
Also, if you're only here for results, the Dev Kit 2 won.

0:00:12.002,0:00:14.484
There, I just saved you two minutes of your time. You're welcome.

0:00:14.484,0:00:18.490
So a little while back CCP were nice enough to fly me out to EVE Fanfest in Iceland.

0:00:18.490,0:00:21.381
It was an absolutely awesome experience, I would definitely go again.

0:00:21.381,0:00:25.204
One of the things that I got to try out at the Fanfest was a project called Valkyrie.

0:00:25.204,0:00:27.549
It's dogfighting game in space in VR.

0:00:27.549,0:00:30.589
And I can safely say my expectations were blown out of the water.

0:00:30.589,0:00:33.070
This is my first time with hands-on virtual reality headsets

0:00:33.070,0:00:35.789
and specifically, I tried the Oculus Dev Kit 2,

0:00:35.789,0:00:37.992
and the Sony Project Morpheus.

0:00:37.992,0:00:41.037
With no previous experience, I have a completely unbiased mindset,

0:00:41.037,0:00:43.651
and these are my experiences with the two VR headsets.

0:00:43.651,0:00:45.630
First I tried out the Oculus Dev Kit 2,

0:00:45.630,0:00:47.998
and I was very surprised at the quality of the headset.

0:00:47.998,0:00:51.339
I assumed it was only a work-in-progress, as it is labelled as a dev kit,

0:00:51.339,0:00:54.070
but it was might as well have been sold as a final consumer product.

0:00:54.070,0:00:57.534
It has a nice one-size-fits-all mechanism that will adjust to your face,

0:00:57.534,0:01:00.349
and I saw that even people with glasses could wear it effortlessly.

0:01:00.349,0:01:03.596
It was a 1080p display, and I believe it had 60 Hz refresh rate,

0:01:03.596,0:01:04.855
but don't quote me on that. [actually 75 Hz]

0:01:04.855,0:01:07.589
And it took a few seconds for you to stop noticing the pixels,

0:01:07.589,0:01:11.833
I'm not sure that when you're this close to display, you're going to see them,[br]just as you put on the headset,

0:01:11.833,0:01:15.603
but overall, like, it didn't break immersion in the slightest.

0:01:15.603,0:01:17.324
I had no discomfort wearing the headset,

0:01:17.324,0:01:19.405
and the headtracking software seemed flawless.

0:01:19.405,0:01:22.024
It was truly a mind-blowing experience to try VR for the first time,

0:01:22.024,0:01:25.621
and I feel like it added a whole other level of depth and immersion to gaming.

0:01:25.621,0:01:26.769
The Morpheus on the other hand,

0:01:26.769,0:01:29.104
which, to my knowledge, is a consumer-grade product,

0:01:29.104,0:01:33.985
had its flaws. First of all, the rubber that was to attach around your eyes[br]and block out the outside light

0:01:33.985,0:01:36.894
seemed very cheap and gimmicky. It also didn't do its job,

0:01:36.894,0:01:40.038
for me and anyone I asked. Light came in from under the headset,

0:01:40.038,0:01:42.099
and that is a huge break in immersion.

0:01:42.099,0:01:44.396
The motion tracking also seemed to be lacking.

0:01:44.396,0:01:48.369
Upon several occasions, it glitched out and it bobbed my vision all over the place.

0:01:48.369,0:01:50.903
It didn't go very well with neck movements.

0:01:50.903,0:01:53.830
It should be known that the version of Valkyrie that we were running on the Morpheus

0:01:53.830,0:01:57.080
was an older version, and that might have affected the test to some minor degree.

0:01:57.080,0:02:01.008
However, that should not change both the hardware and software affiliated with Morpheus headset.

0:02:01.009,0:02:04.220
I have to say that the Dev Kit 2 is just objectively better.

0:02:04.220,0:02:08.044
It outperforms the Project Morpheus in every aspect of virtual reality headset,

0:02:08.044,0:02:12.305
apart from looks, maybe. I actually really like the futuristic look of the Morpheus,

0:02:12.305,0:02:14.845
you can look like a, like a fucking alien. Wah!

0:02:14.845,0:02:16.413
Anyways, um,

0:02:16.413,0:02:18.835
now I'm sure that the headtracking software will be improved,

0:02:18.835,0:02:22.441
and I hope to God that the Morpheus doesn't release with that gimmicky plastic.

0:02:22.441,0:02:25.633
Either way, it wasn't a problem to the point of ruining the enjoyment.

0:02:25.633,0:02:28.076
I thoroughly enjoyed virtual reality on both headsets,

0:02:28.076,0:02:32.394
and I'm definitely waiting for a final consumer-grade Oculus.

0:02:32.394,0:02:36.543
The game EVE Valkyrie was absolutely amazing, you can check out a trailer for it, links in the description.

0:02:36.543,0:02:39.520
It's probably the most fun I've had with gaming in a very long time,

0:02:39.520,0:02:44.009
and it's incentive for me to go buy a virtual reality headset, that's how good it was.

0:02:44.009,0:02:47.637
Check out CCP, and EVE on their website, also links in the description.

0:02:47.637,0:02:49.805
Thanks for flying me out to Iceland.
