I have both and prefer my original Crystal over my Quest 3 for everything except stand alone games (obviously) and when I’m worried about twisting the cable. However the biggest consideration for Pimax is you need a lot of patience and ability to tinker or self-diagnose when something is wrong. If you have experience with PCVR and a decent understanding of how to adjust settings on your PC & HMD and researching help on Discord, then yes it is a wonderful visual and with the upgraded headphones, audible experience.

@@EndersVRcade ​​⁠ thank you so much now I can’t wait to receive it 👍

Thank you! I am working on the next chapter in the series today.

@@angiemon897 sorry that you didn’t see this sooner! If it’s any consolation, I haven’t tested the Core just the C2+ I own. The vertical movement range is based on what other reviews have said. I am also very happy with my C2+ at 5 foot 8 inches except when jumping and crouching could be easier - neither of which is impossible at least at my height (or shorter) with the C2+.

@@EndersVRcade ohh thanks for getting back at me so quickly! <3 but WHY exactly is the crouching and jumping better on the core? 🤔 I'm very salty because I think more expensive should = better lol :D

You are welcome. Based on my understanding, it is because the Core has a redesigned upright with greater up and down travel. It’s something they redesigned after feedback from those of us who bought the C2 plus before the core existed. In addition to making the core better in that way, they were able to also lower the price by making it simpler/a less expensive design. It’s counterintuitive I know but that’s the price of being an early adopter - at least for me. As I said, the C2 plus does have a couple extra things like the haptic module the blue rubber covers and blue lighting, and seat included but yeah, the core as I think I said in the short is I think the better value per dollar.

No the c2 core is worse for movent since the thing that keeps you up right is moved more forward so you feel it more than on the c2 plus

Sorry :(

@@farmertrueVR Thank you so much for your kind words! I admire your hard work on your streams. I can see you appreciate “geeking out with your gear like I do. Connecting your audience via your eye camera is a brilliant idea in particular. I’m leaning towards making step by step or how to videos with the positive reception this is getting!

@@EndersVRcade you know I’d watch whatever you do next. Whatever floats your boat! Step by step videos go a long way as far as helping others. Great to see others enjoying your content!

@@SefianFM You are very welcome SefianFM, and I appreciate your comment. At my new job we have Adobe Premiere, and I’m looking forward to learning it later on this year. So far I have just been using adobe audition for voiceovers and I’m very impressed with it. Although I hope I don’t get hooked on premier given the pricing lol. If you think your audio issues are due to your microphone or physical space set up, I would be happy to give what advice I can. (I can’t help with the premiere, but I can try to help with Resolve which it sounds like you have switched to.) Feel free to reach out to me on Discord with some photos if the issue is hardware or audio samples, and I’ll do what I can until I probably make an audio focused video on the topic.

@@EndersVRcade Thank you! I'm hoping to try and set aside some actual time this week or this weekend to test things out a bit more. I do know my space is small, so I probably should do some acoustic work here. But I will definitely hit you up for some advice when I'm all set. Thanks!

I feel that calling my title misleading is harsh and undeserved. As I said, the why or motivation is the foundation and most important start of getting started, which is the title. I don’t think it’s misleading if you don’t agree with me on what the first step is or because you are already happen to be on step 2. I applaud you on having already started and encourage you to continue. To responsibly help as many people as I can, I feel I have to cover all the steps because they may not have even started the first one. Furthermore, as I have said, too many people get started for the wrong reasons and with inflated assumptions they will become wealthy by just putting stuff out there. I picked the thumbnail picture I did in part because it’s about motivation. Steps two and more may come later, and I hope you find them helpful when/if I can get to them. There are also links in the description of sources I learned from if you want to get started with them. At least you get to see my process using them versus having to track them down and imagine how they all flow together.

Thank you Wordtoons! I love sharing VR with friends and have even brought a PCVR setup into the office for after work demos to share it. Pavlov is my favorite VR shooter too.

Thank you for your support Paul! I’m glad you appreciated my efforts to grow VR content creation! I am leaning towards making follow up how to videos with the positive reception this video is getting.

Thank you Skully-sh7vy!

@@EndersVRcade your welcome

Thank you for your support! I really appreciate your work as well!

Thanks Jay! I have less time now with a busier (but better) job, so I’m finding it more rewarding to focus on my “why,” topics that I am the most passionate about.

Thank you for watching, and I hope to hear from others what their motivations are as well!

Thank you for making VR content!

I hope more people will consider making VR content and help VR’s growth.

Thank you!

?

It’s even harder on the Kat trying not to run out of breath as you’ve probably experienced lol. I may create more detailed guides if there is interest I’m me making them.

I'm glad to hear that you appreciated it!

Thank you Bmack!

lol

@@Bosko85 thanks controller tracking is a challenge with LIV. During setup, you have to align your virtual controllers with your real ones. Some times depending on your physical space, you just can’t get it right. There’s also latency depending on your WiFi. Check out Atom Bomb Body’s LIV tutorial if you want to see how it works. I might be doing a video on green screening and LIV after my current project, “What It Takes to Create VR Content”.

@@bluebell1 Thanks Bluebell. There is zero plot or characters at least in what I played but the setting does suggest some things to me that could be spoilers. I’m kind of mixed on the experience so far particularly being a lefty and controls not being able to rebound. It does make me want to back and finish the polished first game though.

@@EndersVRcade I appreciate your review and response. Sorry about the controls. ITR and this one are unique to me because I was so immersed in 1 and scared to go out at night. I don’t like scary games but I do like the 1st ITR. I hope the 2nd one is just as good. I too have to finish the first one and then play 2. Thanks Enders!

@@VexVR_2024 You are welcome and thank you for watching. Part one is in my top five VR games and now I want to go back and finish it. This is early access and the first game is super polished so if you have any interest after watching this, I highly recommend trying the first game before this one at least right now.

Backwards and sideways is harder. At least is easier than (I hear) on C1. At least now you can go to the Gateway and set controllers for movement priority (so you can quickly move sideways with the sticks)

You should be good with 2x2 meters. I am good with 2x3 meters, and I only use the extra meter for camera perspective and kicks with full body trackers. I am 1.7 meters tall.

Funny enough, an actual Omni-Directional Treadmill was used in the game. unfortunately the exact item that was used costs about 50k to purchase.

I THINK skate material is functionally similar to the mouse skate material I mentioned... maybe a bit slicker. I know others have discussed it on the Kat VR Discord.

The tube definitely slows you down more than the ProVolver especially when wanting to switch weapons or toss a grenade or knife. Although I was also tea out of practice with my muscle memory in this case, I’m usually a lot faster, and I love the ProTube for sniping for steadier aim. I do think ProVolver is the more versatile choice though.

@@EndersVRcade The stability is definitely there with the longer barrel I like this setup for protube as well----> ua-cam.com/video/5i2F7ui3ZiY/v-deo.html

Thank you! Yeah the Quest 3 is a bargain - with an invisible $100+ cost needed to make it comfortable and shine.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much, it is nice to know that my work is appreciated and looked forward to!

@@EndersVRcade oh absolutely! I’m quite new to it all. It’s definitely harder than it looks, that’s for sure! 🤭 xx

You’re correct that the rumored new quest might be a better fit. When it comes to my videos though, I don’t like to comment on rumors unless I have official confirmation from the manufacturer and specs first I certainly enjoy speculating, but I try to keep it out of my recommendations until I know what I’m recommending for certain. I remember with quest three, we were supposed to have three different versions (some with eye tracking for example) and we only ended up getting one for example.

Plus if the rumors are true that it’s going to keep the price down by dropping pancake lenses, but keep color mixed reality, frankly I’m not very excited because I’d rather keep the pancake lenses and drop mixed reality but again that’s just me.

@@EndersVRcade Well that is what a lot of VR type people would prefer but they (meta) rather have people who like AR get into VR when getting a headset for AR that also plays VR. There are AR only headsets that also cost a lot though too. I never really was interested in AR but since the Quest 3 has it I will still use it. I am so used to the frasnel lenses though that I can get right into the sweet spot every time I put it on. It still is good if people start with that for a cheaper price and get used to it when they get a headset with pancake lenses.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. One question - did you see in my video where at 5:16 the batteries do light up with dots to show battery charge level?

@@EndersVRcade I didn't see that. Is that new? I believe other reviewers said they were removed? If that is true I take some of the criticism back, but that makes the indicator on the strap redundant.

You can see it in the video. I almost missed that feature though and probably I can see why others did too. The button to turn on the battery indicator has been moved to the side and it’s easy to miss. You can see it at five minutes and 16 seconds into my video. The indicator on the side is kind of redundant, but you can also push on the squirrel button to bring up fan speed. I guess it’s nice so you can confirm that you’re at 100 hundred percent fan speed and exactly what percentage battery but yeah, it’s not necessary.

Definitely. In about 30 minutes of Pavlov, I burn about 200 calories vs the same time on a treadmill being 300. Where I really start to see weight loss is the motivation to do longer workouts because of the gaming motivation. Typically I play 1-2 hours 3-4 times a week with big worlds/story driven games world games like Into the Radius, Walking Dead S&S, Asgard’s Wrath 1, HL Alyx, etc so I’m having working out more with this than just my “let’s get this over with” half hour workouts in the gym alone (I still do those for strength training and diet is even more of a factor so I’m reluctant to quote weight loss numbers just to the Kat).

It does not sadly.

Although with the PC adapter, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work that way (not using PS5 but using Steam). Granted and I haven’t tested it and nor has anyone else, but that should work I think.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!

@@EndersVRcade So far I hooked up the Loco S everything was a breeze. All sensors go inside the Gateway software. I'm trying to run a modded Fallout 4 VR from f4sevr and Loco S no input. I tried a million things but zero input from the Loco S. I also tried the most bare bones vanilla Fallout 4 VR install through SteamVR no input. I'm running Virtual Desktop and launching SteamVR. SUUUUPPPER frustrated at this point because my KATC2 never had these issues. :/

PCVR with LIV Mixed Reality recording software

I haven’t played this in a while, so I don’t remember off the top of my head. (This is PCVR not standalone in case that the issue). I would try to look it up for you, but I’m dealing with the “rona” virus right now. I used Liv Mixed Reality to film this and a lot of my others videos this way.

@@EndersVRcade I hope you get well soon 🙏 Thank you, man

What u yappin about

You are welcome, Dave. I think at default power level (100%) TactVisor is less powerful and noisier than the previous version. However at 200% or higher (and it can go up to 400% (or 4x in the new software) it’s very noticeable and I wouldn’t want any more. I think many are either not remembering to crank it up or aren’t impressed because they aren’t getting shot in the head much compared to the torso or getting constant recoil from the arm devices. However, that’s not to say the wrong, everyone is going to have different perceptions when it comes to things like how things feel. I can only speak for myself. I don’t know of a way to measure haptics objectively.

Thanks Technikchegger!

Will do!
