Question

New Poll. Is the oculus home better than the steam VR setup ??

I find the oculus home so much more convenient when navigating VR games.

    Barring which headset is on the other end of each cable, I know which one I'd rather be using.


    We definately are in agreement when it comes to that point.

    @Zenbane: I assumed Revive was some sort of backalley hacker stuff that's offically a no-no - guess I was wrong there. Or in the words of a famous robot: "Your argument is invalid". I prolly should read up some more next time.

    @JettStiles -  From what I've heard, Revive is very professionally made, by a real expert in the field.

    Brief history lesson:  Initially Oculus implemented measures to block the use of Revive altogether, which of course made Vive owners VERY angry (seeing as they had almost nothing to play on their Vives, while Oculus had awesome AAA gamepad games like Lucky's Tale and Chronos out already)

    After the bad publicity that resulted, they quickly changed their minds and un-blocked it.   Now, Vive users can access pretty much anything on Oculus Home, albeit with no handy-dandy oculus remote, and motion controls not half as good as ours. ;)

    Yet, Valve and HTC still cry on a seemingly daily basis about how Oculus "won't let anyone into their walled garden" just to make Oculus look bad.   Essentially they're like neglectful parents who let their own children starve, and when asked for supper they just say "Well look at the neighbors, they have plenty of food, they sure are mean for not sharing with you!"
    It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.

    i never disliked using steam but i always had so many more windows open it felt, when i got the elite key on home is much easier for me to play and i been using it ever since

    i guess i should try and see if it feels better, the paranormal game is tomorrow? maybe it is a good time to try again

    I am going to buy my games on oculus and pay a little extra, if it is just a little extra.
    The oculus set up is convienient.

    Both have their unique qualities. I agree with others though some more interaction with the backgrounds would be nice in Oculus Home.
