The first time you put on the Oculus Rift is the closest thing to real magic you're likely to experience anytime soon.

PLEASE let someone else BESIDES Dan Stapleton to do video reviews! I hate listening to his voice and his reviews are awful

[Ghandpivot]

Oh nice, there's a *one handed* controller for watching "videos".

[fireburnrs]

This seems more like an ad than a review

[KEREZ]

One of the best Oculus Rift reviews I've seen yet! You point out a lot of things that others leave out (the space around the nose, hardly noticing the screen door effect during gameplay, pointing out that you can swivel the earphones away from your ears to hear stuff around you, integrated mic, talking about the Home menu, the store and the C drive issue, etc.) and the review flows nicely from one point to the next. Great job Dan!

cool, but there are better ways to spend 600 dollars

Ik a lot of people are gonna disagree w me but I feel like it'll end up like the Kinect like yeah it's cool and inovative but everyone will stop caring. Also it just seems so extra to wear that if you just feel like casually playing a game

"Fantastic VR"
"Light and Comfortable"
"Easy setup"
"New experiences"

"No motion controller"

VR will be a 10? (9, 5 maby if the pros are the same)

[SharifSourour]

I tried an earlier developer kit and even that was impressive but besides the coming-forth advanced controls, this thing looks phenomenal!

why thier is too much dislike, i know it's expensive but man after trying one i really feel that the experience it give me are priceless ! .

[jaynukem]

So, since VR is now trending, motion controls suddenly become relevant again. I wonder how all those who said that motion controls were gimmicky and just a phase are responding to this.

Lol trying to put that headset on at 4:15

[Kinaibhlan]

PSVR will probably fail mostly because it's locked to the PS4 and it's not gonna be as powerful.

[WinnyJ]

Well Elite dangerous dose work amazingly well with oculus and so far the best game i have tried with mine.

[Mr.kn]

Alpine white with tinted windows and black wheels and you have the nicest looking smallish 4x4 currently on sale.

"Other More passive experiences

We know what you're talking bout Dan 😉

[CaptainOverLoad]

Wow. They actually gave it it a number rate give mine. Not only that, but no motion controllers atm is the exact reason i'd deduct from a score if i had to give it at least one con. Over all it's a great head gear.

[advang]

Would not it be better if to just have buttons on Oculus headset itself, rather than making a separate remote control for video control? At least the hand can easily reach the buttons and press them on headset.

[Edmundostudios]

This reminds me of 3D gaming in the 90s

[teezzz]

Finally a proper review. 9.0 is way too high thou, without motion controls it's more like 7.

[UnrelatedNonsense]

Why do no reviewers mention dos world or war thunder or elite dangerous? All of these games are amazing with vr and natively support it.
