As one of the kickstarter backers and someone who uses their Kat Walk C2 everyday, I can say this treadmill has changed the way I play VR. I absolutely love mine and can NEVER go back to just moving with the stick. Walking in VR is something truely special and completes the immersion for me. Plus I have a very limited playspace and the feeling of having infinite roomscale is absolutely amazing!
@@NikitaFajitaa I appreciate that! :) Yeah I play lots of action games that require lots of running. One game is Payday 2 VR, thats usually my go to :) I never touch my analog stick, unless Im controlling a vehicle or navigating a menu. But you are definitely up there as well :) Love your fitness challenges!
Nice to see more people investing in VR. I got the C2plus a year or 2 ago. When I finally started losing wait and suddenly noticed how much more comfortable putting the straps on my waist were, I was very happy. That belt will let you know right away when u getting to thick in the gut.
Made the decision after 3 years to finally get this, while watching your video. As a result, I used your code. They had a GREAT deal, free shipping, free shoe replacement every year for life, free seating module, AND your discount.
VR newbie myself, just got the Quest 3S, and this treadmill is way beyond my budget, but thoroughly enjoyed watching the entirety of this review. I hope someday a more portable and adorable model will come in the near future. I also got VR to help with weight loss and fitness myself and my brain also gets too dulled out with actual treadmills. It's awesome how much VR gaming can make you forget you're burning calories! Good luck on your fitness journey, definitely following you along the way.
Thank you! That was a great review! 58-year-old gamer here with a meta-quest two VR set. All to play VR Skyrim. I have 650 mods on my Skyrim PC game and I have a heavily modded sky VR with a hard cable wired into the back, my VR set. Now I just gotta find room for a Katwalk! Skyrim forever! Fus Ro Dah!!
Just bought mine using the fire sale. Used your code since it was the biggest discount I could find anywhere. Thanks, man. I've been getting great arm workouts with VR via wearable weights on my wrists and forearms, but legs have been lacking beyond squats 'cause I live in an apartment built like a hallway. This will handily fix that AND solve my motion sickness issues when I move with stick AND just let me have that much more immersion.
Great review, it reflects my experience perfectly . Got a C2 used for a very good price and it totally transformed my gaming experience. Initially I needed a little bit of getting used to the walking style, especially not to lean forward too much, as the walking is a lot easier then. Also its not plug and play, it requires some steps, things need to be considered, started in specific ways etc. But the freedom it gives me, to move freely, fight, run away, not worrying about my surroundings, is amazing . When games get intense, no worrying any more about hitting sth. I simply cant play walking oriented games any more without it. Also it feels secure, and im a large dude, at 1.95 (6.6 i think) and 125 kg - but getting lighter already after 20km in games :) . Its a beautiful, well crafted device, that gives me tons of joy
Love the review ❤❤❤ I wear my belt higher on my waist. For women, i recommend wearing it on the smallest part of your waist or it'll ride up. Isn't it so awesome how you can get so into a game that you forget you're exercising 🎉
Isn't that sale amazing? Not affiliated, just been holding off for years until I saw this sale. Free shipping, and lifetime yearly shoe replacement!! Mine should be coming next week hopefully.
This was one of the first reviews I had seen on the KatVR I’ve been looking at this for a long time. Then started looking at the UA-cam videos. I’m so excited to get mine. I ordered the C2+ because of the seat, which I figure I’m gonna need to take a few breaks while playing. I’m not as young as I used to be LOL.
There are also plenty of games where you go from walking to either riding a horse, flying a spaceship, or even just sitting on a bench or train. Hell, with UEVR you can play Red Dead Redemption in VR now!!
I have been on the fence for a while now and this video really makes me want to get one 😅I just can't justify the price right now. But hoping to get one eventually, thanks for this video!
As a man who weighs only 185lbs. at 5'11" I consider it a point of pride being able to lift things that I shouldn't be able to and am 100% on your side when it comes to lifting it out of the box the hard way.
What’s the difference in the c2 core and the c2plus. I see they have the seat attachment you can buy for core now. I know the c2plus has led lights and haptics but is the range of motion similar in both?
Can you strafe or side stepping in game with such treadmill？I heard these kind of treadmill cannot detect strafing correctly. Players have to go straight and then do awkward turns to achieve side stepping .
I 1000% support anything that gets you to do exercise, but damn, the price tag is no joke lol. 7:37 this is exactly what I'm hoping to achieve with my project (please take a look if you have time I would love for you to try it), I have the same with climbing, I end up so unbelievable tired, without even realising, at some point I can't just hold anything anymore, that is the best kind of exercise.
@ That's exactly what got me to open my wallet and get one. Right there. For a toy it's expensive. For a piece of gym equipment you'll actually use, it's pretty reasonable. I have it in the same room I am putting my rowing machine and exercise bike, both of which can also utilize the headset.
Im worried about how it forces you to lean forward while moving. I think its a bad gait to develop. Have you felt anything off after long use? It looks fun.
I was worried about that, too. A different creator video shows that you can set the software to "Controller Overrides" and use the controller in conjunction. You could back up with the stick if you had to in a hurry. The same video showed you how to properly run and jump without bringing yourself to a halt in-game. You have to almost run-skip on your jump. "Controller Overrides" feature sold me since there are times you won't be able to f around.
I can't help but wonder how long it will be before they can hook these up to a terminator style robot. Would have sounded insane 30 years ago, but the proof of its high feasibility is there. Ty for showing it to us bro, thing is cool.
@hschokker86 I'm jealous, I can barely set up my Xbox. You should do it! Make 2 and then you can fight them to the death! May the best terminator win!!! I'd watch that vid
Is it possible to play Beat Saber on the katwalk (even though it not compatible?) I have a small area in my store where I can play and it would help to know if I can play while being strapped to the machine... Please let me know if you can... Thanks
I wonder if Space Marine 2 would be compatible or a Warhammer 40k dedicated VR game would be CRAZY fun. get myself and few buddies in virtual power armor laying waste to the Xenos and Heritics.
Say you are playing Skyrim, does walkng on the treadmill initiate movement in the game, or is movement still initiated by the controller and the treadmill acts as an immersion tool? Regardless, im inteigued.
@@attilajenkins1580 it can change between either. I set my controller as primary. And do broad movements with treadmill. Precise movements with controller
Awesome video! Can I ask if this Treadmill is compatible with PS5 and thus PSVR2? I don't have a PC,so would this work as a standalone linked to a PS5? I game a lot,I have severe neuropathy and go to the fysical therapy twice a week. A machine like this would combine my physical treatment and gaming,fun while exercising and being in motion to lessen the neuropathy pains.
I always wanted to get into VR and like the tech of the C2 but for me VR technology still isn’t there yet. Like some of the games look good but not as good as just playing on a regular pc or console. I would say in 10 years we might have a ready player one situation. I remember the 360 days when every single one came with a cam for VR esque gaming. Great review though.
Can someone explain how he’s playing some of these games that are PC only without having it directly plugged into the pc? I know about side loading but from my knowledge unless you’re directly plugged into the PC, the quest can’t handle those graphics or run some of those games. Someone please elaborate, I’m currently using my quest as is and I’m planning on getting a pc soon to improve my experience, thank you 🙏🏼
Hey Duddy, thank to your videos guy! So glad for you about this New VR tool on your collection! I expect some interesting gameplay demonstration (like Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077 and others)! i live in France (afro-descendant like you) and I'm on the way to buy a Kat VR Core to! Before that, i've some questions! Could you make some games test with the UEVR Injector catalog, i would know if it is playable on the KAT (thanks a lot)! I know that the movements on the treadmill are physical and i've see on UA-cam a video from a small and ancient creator (22 followers), but he had modified her KatVR shoes for to walk more easily (this is it : ua-cam.com/video/CV6gzzfCzRo/v-deo.htmlsi=O4n97htc4CDTacwX ). In fact, he put spray silicon on the treadmill surface before (almost) every sessions and he remove all the cotton velcros plate under the shoes (like you) but replaced by velcro "plastic" face in a great part of central sole! if you make this test can you give some responses about this! i'm so curious (i know), because we have the same body, if it's work you it also good for me! Well, congratulations for this cool buying and see you on youtube (or maybe on multiplayer Vr treadmill game if i buy one) ! au revoir

You can side step / strafe by sliding your foot
One thing i was hoping was addressed in the video is how convenient is it to get out of it if you really need to go to the restroom?
@laxlyfters8695 Real easy! Just unstrap and step down. Literally like 2-4 seconds

@cheesecake7384 I had a bad habit. You're suppose to stay upright. Didn't learn this until later in my time of using it

Does this require a gaming pc or will it work with just a ps5 and a psvr2?
