Planning to get myself into VR games, but thinking between the HTC Vive and oculus rift.
Is vive worth the extra buck for laser sensors, compatibility for accessories upgrade, and local warranty?
Few questions to ask yourself:
1. Do you want additional accessories upgrade?
Yes - HTC Vive
No - Oculus Rift
2. How big you plan to set up your play area?
Small, below 8ft x 8ft - Oculus Rift is almost 1/3 cheaper
Big - Oculus Rift is about RM500 cheaper, but HTC Vive more popular for this segment - you decide
Very Big - HTC Vive
3. What is your PC specs?
Low/Mid Spec GTX960/1050Ti - Oculus Rift Asynchronous Spacewarp(ASW) helps smoothen framerates even on lower spec PC
High Spec GTX1070/1080 - Both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift same - you decide
4. Have you tried both? Its recommended to experience the tracking, headset comfort, headphone sound, controller ergonomics and gesture, level of screen door effect, level of god rays etc. before you decide as reading/watching online reviews can sometimes be quite contradicting.
5. Laser sensor vs Constellation(camera) sensor, is it huge difference? Just as no.4 above, go try it out to and you'll find out whether worth the extra buck
