Hz in VR is much different to monitor. It is because you can really notice everything. So anything below 80hz is noticeable in a fast paced game such as beat saber.
i mean at the end he said that if he didn’t own a valve index he would go with the rift s so i’d say he’s pretty much saying unless you can afford the equipment and the index itself, the rift s is a good choice.
osiric this was the one sub-comment i really needed instead of watching a good 2 hours of reviews racking my brain on what vr system i should buy. Turns out the rift s isnt even in stock and they just got new stock of 64gb quests. Am sad
Linus:"I beat my all time high score in this very fast paced game, which I could not do on the index." Also Linus:"the refresh rate is terrible, not good enough for fast paced games." What
Maybe because the weight of the controllers, maybe they are more precise, maybe because the down of fps only make it aestheticly worse, maybe because he already have notion of the song and don't need exactly to react fast. Would be very usefull to clarify though.
Well he might be saying that it seems slower than it would with higher refresh rate and that even tho he is a noob he still beat it with such low refresh rate but i might be wrong
Thank you. refresh rate isn't as important as people think. maybe you notice it more after coming down in numbers but how bad can it really be? i played with the oculus dev kit and I liked that. it can't be worse than that
Wait, does LTT actually think they uploaded the Quest review? Because they used footage from it and referenced it, but it still doesn't exist on the channel.

Storming Music Bought the rift s on release. Only problem i had was when it came with a broken right controller which they helped send a replacement. Great for its price.
@@lee-br9wd Refresh rate is way more important in VR than flatscreen though. The difference between 90-120 was enough for me to avoid motion sickness, and went from being able to only play in 30min bursts to playing for several hours without issues. So for me, and from what I read a lot of other people as well, $500 extra is easily worth it. Way better controllers, tracking, and no Facebook attached helps immensely to justify the price as well.
@@TheDisturbed0ne1 i mean i couldnt tell any difference between psvr and quest, tracking isnt even an issue so idk where that came from and an extra 500 is way too much for me
I don't think you'll want to stick with a black Xavier and magneto. Also, Ms. Marvel is the replacement for Spider-Man. She's just a ripoff off of Mr. Fantastic.
On floatplane the Quest video was release over a week before this video. My guess is they are either fixing a mistake or have a little boo boo in the release schedule here.
So I've been looking into vr and just wanted to know if the 80hz difference is noticeable in game and if you have any solutions for the controller battery slide slipping off?
@@BrutalCelt mamut grips to avoid it slipping off. Coming from PSVR that has I think 100/90 hz. I didn't notice dropping to 80. Super happy about my rift S, I cant justify the index at that price, maybe if valve releases some decent vr games for the controllers
Vanessa Corrêa no I wouldn’t. I love how comfortable the rift s feels while wearing it that I don’t think I could go back to the strap design on the quest. I had an original rift too and know the rift s feels way more comfortable on my head.
I just got the Rift S as my first VR headset and I have to say it’s amazing. Setting it up is a breeze and I could jump into a game in just a few minutes. For someone who hasn’t tried more expensive options, I didn’t notice anything weird when playing beat saber. Overall I recommend it to anyone with a decent PC and can’t afford better options.
No dude for me I use rift s and it lags waayyy to much and always crashes and then the stupid mic so I got a valve index because the rift s is just trash and I have a hella good pc I got 9 cores and a rtx 3080 yet the rift s still lags
It has really good battery life actually. A single tin will charge it for *up to* 3 days in 30 minutes. Although I'd recommend recharging more often as leaving it for 3 days without charge will cause wear, decrease lifespan and reliability, as will over charging.
The past 10 minutes for me - Watch Half Life Alyx trailer - Watch Linus's Index Review - Realize I need to build a PC and buy a headset - Watch Linus's Oculus Rift S review
After watching the trailer, I immediately went researching VR, and so far it seems that Rift S is the best solution for me due to its portability. I don't have the patience for setting up and adjusting so many things, so I would go with Rift S.

Nope me neither, but I have it, and I'm actually pretty happy with. Even impressed considering the mobility provided, tether-less in a big room, even with poorer graphics is really amazing. I've tested other vr headset, and, it's actually an option, even not so expensive considering you need nothing more except a low end smartphone to first configure it.
I saw it on Floatplane, but it is an older video than this one so it's odd that this one came out first. Maybe they are saving the Quest review for the 25th when OC6 starts?
@@0Wayland YES! was incredibly close to buying index but talked myself down to these. That rarely happens, but im glad i did, this review made me this the headset kinda ran like shit when he mentioned to Hz but im glad i didnt listen to Linus on this one. As a first time VR user, im blown away and see almost no flaws in the way it play. Incredible resolution, perfect tracking, and most games do finger tracking even with THESE controllers (minus the pinky) im VERY happy i spent less than half of what i would have on the Index and my wallet is even more happy.
He even says "I reviewed it not long ago, but no - There is no video. I searched last week when i started wondering if i wanted a quest, and i tried again now"
"80Hz is too choppy" *Laughs in 50Hz DIY headset* Seriously though, this headset seems perfect for me - it's got a bunch of upsides to my original DIY setup (such as inside-out tracking, which will make things much easier to deal with) and the "low" refresh rate of 80Hz... well, lets just say I wasn't joking about using a 50Hz screen... On the upside, I think I might be immune to VR-induced motion sickness! Kinda weird...
@@evolicious Honestly, it ain't as bad as it sounds. It was pretty terrible admittedly, but if you aren't used to proper VR then it worked fine. I'm really glad I'm moving on to a proper headset though - when it comes tomorrow I can FINALLY experience all this stuff the way it's meant to be played!
@@legendarycinematics3091 All the time. I ordered one last week, shipping date said July 19th but it just charged my card and is now processing for shipping. So keep an eye out, good luck!
Everyone that tests a VR for giving a feedback: Oh it's good, pretty good. Linus: There is no such thing as an HDMI port to display port female adapter.
I feel like if he did a video reviewing budget hotels, he'd spend most of the time telling you why they weren't as good as the Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons
Considering the complexity of some of these things setup, it's worth it to explain precisely how much better one is, to see if it is worth the costs and downsides. Just because someone has the money to stay at the Four Seasons, doesn't mean they are going to pick it over the budget hotel, one has to understand exactly how much better one is over the other in order to make a decision.
I still didnt really feel there was enough content on VR to justify the price, so the price of the rift S was perfect for me. I'm too much of a pleb to even notice refresh rate I think, and if the market gets enough games I'm sure I can update eventually in the future. Comparing this to something double the price is a bit strange, I'd wager there are a lot of people like me who would simply never have purchased a VR setup if $1000 headsets were the only ones available.
@@TheGodEmperorOfMankind_ Honestly I've had very little tracking issues with the rift s. The tracking issues are only really apparent when you move your hands totally behind you which shouldn't be happening in VR games anyways.

The Index HMD is $500, the Rift S HMD is $300. A $200 difference that is astronomically night-and-day is concerning. Rift S is overpriced for it's specs.
Linus, I understand you're running a business at the end of the day but I feel the ad spots, plugs for merch, etc have gotten extremely intrusive. Perhaps I should just shut up and pay for Floatplane, though I dunno if the content there is any different. I just worry that as your UA-cam content becomes increasingly commercialized, a tipping point may be reached where people are no longer willing to put up with it. I'd be willing to pay into a Patreon or similar if it meant fewer ads for everyone. I currently pay for UA-cam Premium, so I have no idea if your videos are monetized- but I'll assume they are. That means you have 1-2 ads for an average video, two sponsor spots, 1-2 merch plugs and 1-2 calls to action per video. Assuming the low end in all cases, that's going to be about one of these things every 3-4 minutes for an average video. The video/ad ratio in that case is no better than broadcast TV, which is not a reality I wish to return to. So, is there some kind of middle ground where viewers can pitch in to benefit everyone? Maybe the bar is too high to clear off of donations, but I'd be interested to know either way.
Their videos are monitized, but the majority of us run adblock, so anything on UA-cam is essentially non-profit for LMG. As I understand it, Floatplane has no ad spots, not sure about merch pushing though.
I, for once, already unsub'd when they started to make all content for 10 year old's. All the forced jokes and stupid thumbnails and much more... But these amounds of adds will drive me completly away. IMHO: Besides, all that childness has taken away alot of the seriousness and meaning from there reviews adds and content. Witch in and of itself makes there adds valueless. I dont value LMG's opinion in purches decisions these days, last time i did was late 2015. these days I just get the numbers from Gamers Nexus and decide based on that, i feel like they are way more serious and trustworthy.
5:35 But that's how you are supposed to put it on, i guess. Like a safety helmet or welding shield. If you just slip into it, it could also slip off your head if you are moving a bit more intensively.
Been wanting to upgrade my monitors for a bit, but 1440p IPS 144Hz aren't cheap either. I wanted 4K, but that for the rich one lol, especially at 2500.00$
It's completely different when it comes to VR. I'm fine with with 4K 60Hz monitor. But 80Hz in VR feels very sluggish compare to 90Hz. The Rift S was an upgrade and a downgrade for me at the same time.
The reason the display looks sharper is due to the LCD screen. Each pixel on an LCD display has 3 subpixels rather than the 2 subpixels of OLED. That's why even the Valve Index looks sharper than the Vive Pro despite having the same resolution.
Saying OLEDs have 2 subpixels that's not entirely accurate either. Most just use an RGBG subpixels layout which means there are twice as mean G pixels as R or B but they count the resolution as the G's so yes, if you do the math on there are twice as many total sub pixels as pixels but it's not quite as simple as that, and the weird subpixel layout means that vertical/horizontal lines aren't as sharp as on an RGB subpixel layout but diagonal lines tend to be better
To all the VR fans out there. I can't wait for the VR community to fly off! Let's support alll these developers so the big AAA companies will see light and start making contents for VR!
I got my Rift S about 2 months ago and i still love it the tracking is much better then you think! I literally can't see any screen door effect, it was a really good buy!
Yeah inside out is the way to go. Haven’t had a problem with the tracking at all. Picks up movement just fine. Only thing i wish the Rift s had was a wider FOV.
For anyone that doesn’t casually have 1,000 laying around for the valve index the rift s honestly is the way to go the halo rig for me is very comfortable sliding on and off with out readjusting. It also only took me 15 mins to setup
I wish there would be more places that had physical displays of these headsets so we can try them out, because I think a lot of it still goes into your comfort with the headset. But yes of course, if I didn't have the extra 600 usd to put out for an index, I would definitely get the Rift S (Or the quest) because it seems easy and simple-enough to use without getting the headaches in comparison to building your own VR setup using a phone and PS move controllers.
I agree with Linus completely. I've been turned away from Vive demos at conferences because they were recharging their wands. I've never once not been able to play my Rift due to controller charge. I love it.
There are good reasons for one or the other, sadly, few companies do it the proper way. Allow USB-C charging of a removable Li-ion or NiMH pack which when removed, exposes standard AA/AAA battery compartments. That is the ideal way to handle battery packs for portable/removables, but there's a lot of reasons, mostly space-related, why it it's not done like that.
Rechargable batteries are the best. They are available anywhere and if they wear down, you replace them. It's a very durable decision. Not that it matters because the non-detachable and fragile cable will be totally ruined long before any rechargable batteries would have worn out.
@@Cosmitzian Xbox controllers use to do this. But mainly I think it's a safety/legal problem of if there is ever 1 fire on the whole planet with that pack, they could get into a lot of trouble.

DO NOT BUY THE RIFT S... I bought the rift s and it was a BIG mistake, after owning it for 8 months it starts to crash every 15 minutes or so and the controllers cover broke within a year compared to the quest 2 aka meta quest 2 has better quality and doesn't crash frequently, I hope at least one person gets the quest 2 instead of this from this comment
2:13 No, I've had the Rift S for months and I've also tried a lot of ther Headsets and the Rift S is by far my favorite, then it's the Index because of the price, but overall the Rift S actually has the best tracking after the Index, including both inside out and outside sensor tracking group...
only reason i don't buy oculus is i don't want anything that facebook is connected to with a camera anywhere near me. that's why i deleted my facebook account 4 years ago. they are the last company i would ever trust with a connected camera in my home.
@@risthejedi well if you like insanely lots res and a lot of SDE go with oculus I guess. There are so many paid oculus reviewers out there. The headsets look like first-gen headsets inside. I suggest you find a convention/exibition and see how awful the rift and quest actually look compared to the competition.
I think the "lateral thinking through withered technology" route makes sense in trying to push this kind of tech to the masses tbh. This is the headset I plan to save for.
I got my rift S a few days ago and it is a pleasure. The new features on the Quest don't mean that they won't work on the Rift S anymore. Plus, if you are strictly a PC gamer, the Rift S is still the better headset of the two, by far.
I know this is an old video, but I am going to give you a great reason not to buy a Rift S or anything oculus ever again for that matter. Recently we started having issues with the headset due to the cable being kinked. So I went to oculus website to order a replacement cable to which I was greeted with an out of stock / notify me message. So I opened a support ticket and they made me jump through all kinds of hoops just to tell me in the end that the cable was not currently available, and they did not know when it would be available again. And to add insult to injury they told me to check for one on amazon and ebay (they are available on these sites prices range from $160 to $200. I'm not paying that much!) It makes it even worse that this is a headset that they are still selling! To my logical mind, this is the biggest customer service/support fail that I have encountered in my life. In the end, I did the only sensible thing that I could: I ordered a valve index and have sworn off oculus forever!
For my own purposes, I don't see much of a compelling reason to exchange my Rift S for a Quest. The Rift S is lighter, has more subpixels, less latency, and a higher refresh rate. Of course, these are minor advantages, but they are more advantages than the quest for me for a few reasons. The main reason being I don't have a huge use for the portability. People say it's for the social factor, but I think it's worse because with a PC VR headset your friends can see your perspective mirrored onto your monitor, while with the Quest they can't even see what you're playing, removing the point of playing it socially. Additionally, I have no reason to remove it from my house except for maybe extended vacations, but if I'm in vacation in a beautiful place, I feel as if being tech free or at least tech limited is better, so I probably wouldn't bring a vr headset. Also the link cable brings the price up to almost $500. If I hadn't purchased a headset would I get the Quest because it has Oculus Link and the portability there for a few rare cases? Maybe, I would consider it. But for my purposes and PC VR users, the Rift S is more compelling and there isn't really a good reason to exchange. Also, I bet the Rift S will go down in price, so it may be a great option for people looking for a good yet affordable PC VR headset. And I can almost garuntee finger tracking will be implemented for the Rift S in the near future. But that's just my two cents.

I have a rift s and I don’t regret it the quest doesn’t have that many games unless you spend the extra 80
XD thats what i thought XD!!
osiric this was the one sub-comment i really needed instead of watching a good 2 hours of reviews racking my brain on what vr system i should buy. Turns out the rift s isnt even in stock and they just got new stock of 64gb quests. Am sad
Fr tho Im building a PC and looking for vr to go with it but im not bouta drop $1000 on valve index

@Alex S did you get the quest?
Luckily, I've been carefully training my eyes. I've never seen anything above 60hz, and I only plan to see things up to 80hz
Anarchist Gestalt what? An increase in hz is just like a slight increase in FPS
Diesel your wrong, Hz make things smoother
@@garrettdavis3294 hz is the amount of frames per second a screen can display
I seen 144hz but I dont find 80hz bad at all
80hz in vr is a lot different to 80hz on a flat screen. That's why it's recommended to try and get at least 90fps in vr instead of 60.
Linus:"I beat my all time high score in this very fast paced game, which I could not do on the index."
Also Linus:"the refresh rate is terrible, not good enough for fast paced games."
What
right lol
Maybe because the weight of the controllers, maybe they are more precise, maybe because the down of fps only make it aestheticly worse, maybe because he already have notion of the song and don't need exactly to react fast. Would be very usefull to clarify though.
Well he might be saying that it seems slower than it would with higher refresh rate and that even tho he is a noob he still beat it with such low refresh rate but i might be wrong
Julio Lopez Well that just sounds like you payed attention to the video. Shame! Lmao
Thank you. refresh rate isn't as important as people think. maybe you notice it more after coming down in numbers but how bad can it really be? i played with the oculus dev kit and I liked that. it can't be worse than that

@@lee-br9wd Refresh rate is way more important in VR than flatscreen though. The difference between 90-120 was enough for me to avoid motion sickness, and went from being able to only play in 30min bursts to playing for several hours without issues. So for me, and from what I read a lot of other people as well, $500 extra is easily worth it. Way better controllers, tracking, and no Facebook attached helps immensely to justify the price as well.

@@BrutalCelt mamut grips to avoid it slipping off. Coming from PSVR that has I think 100/90 hz. I didn't notice dropping to 80. Super happy about my rift S, I cant justify the index at that price, maybe if valve releases some decent vr games for the controllers
Vanessa Corrêa no I wouldn’t. I love how comfortable the rift s feels while wearing it that I don’t think I could go back to the strap design on the quest. I had an original rift too and know the rift s feels way more comfortable on my head.

Seriously though, this headset seems perfect for me - it's got a bunch of upsides to my original DIY setup (such as inside-out tracking, which will make things much easier to deal with) and the "low" refresh rate of 80Hz... well, lets just say I wasn't joking about using a 50Hz screen...

Danitron it’s a joke my oculus rift was stolen, so chill out.
I feel like if he did a video reviewing budget hotels, he'd spend most of the time telling you why they weren't as good as the Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons
Considering the complexity of some of these things setup, it's worth it to explain precisely how much better one is, to see if it is worth the costs and downsides. Just because someone has the money to stay at the Four Seasons, doesn't mean they are going to pick it over the budget hotel, one has to understand exactly how much better one is over the other in order to make a decision.
I still didnt really feel there was enough content on VR to justify the price, so the price of the rift S was perfect for me. I'm too much of a pleb to even notice refresh rate I think, and if the market gets enough games I'm sure I can update eventually in the future. Comparing this to something double the price is a bit strange, I'd wager there are a lot of people like me who would simply never have purchased a VR setup if $1000 headsets were the only ones available.

Linus, I understand you're running a business at the end of the day but I feel the ad spots, plugs for merch, etc have gotten extremely intrusive. Perhaps I should just shut up and pay for Floatplane, though I dunno if the content there is any different. I just worry that as your UA-cam content becomes increasingly commercialized, a tipping point may be reached where people are no longer willing to put up with it. I'd be willing to pay into a Patreon or similar if it meant fewer ads for everyone.
I currently pay for UA-cam Premium, so I have no idea if your videos are monetized- but I'll assume they are. That means you have 1-2 ads for an average video, two sponsor spots, 1-2 merch plugs and 1-2 calls to action per video. Assuming the low end in all cases, that's going to be about one of these things every 3-4 minutes for an average video. The video/ad ratio in that case is no better than broadcast TV, which is not a reality I wish to return to.
So, is there some kind of middle ground where viewers can pitch in to benefit everyone? Maybe the bar is too high to clear off of donations, but I'd be interested to know either way.
Their videos are monitized, but the majority of us run adblock, so anything on UA-cam is essentially non-profit for LMG. As I understand it, Floatplane has no ad spots, not sure about merch pushing though.
It is what it is.
Yeah I wish they'd go back to shilling exclusively at the end. It's really hard to complain that way and they make their living
I, for once, already unsub'd when they started to make all content for 10 year old's.
All the forced jokes and stupid thumbnails and much more...
But these amounds of adds will drive me completly away.
IMHO:
Besides, all that childness has taken away alot of the seriousness and meaning from there reviews adds and content.
Witch in and of itself makes there adds valueless.
I dont value LMG's opinion in purches decisions these days, last time i did was late 2015.
these days I just get the numbers from Gamers Nexus and decide based on that, i feel like they are way more serious and trustworthy.
Lennart Mook then why are you here?

linus: I feel like the box is a big part of the sales pitch for the rift s.

Your GPU determines that. He did also say that it reduced the "screen door effect" pretty well, which is big when considering vr.

80hz is a problem for linus but most of us getting 60 to 75hz on our monitors.. *Cries in poor*
Yep, been 60hz forever. 80 will be an improvement.
Been wanting to upgrade my monitors for a bit, but 1440p IPS 144Hz aren't cheap either. I wanted 4K, but that for the rich one lol, especially at 2500.00$
I run at the same refresh rate as the Quest
My WMR headsets running at 90 hz are pretty nice.
It's completely different when it comes to VR. I'm fine with with 4K 60Hz monitor. But 80Hz in VR feels very sluggish compare to 90Hz. The Rift S was an upgrade and a downgrade for me at the same time.
wow, just impulse bought one then got called out at the beginning
Didnt receive my feline companion, did I buy the wrong package?
The reason the display looks sharper is due to the LCD screen. Each pixel on an LCD display has 3 subpixels rather than the 2 subpixels of OLED.
That's why even the Valve Index looks sharper than the Vive Pro despite having the same resolution.
2? Did you steal all the blue subpixels to make your fursona?
Saying OLEDs have 2 subpixels that's not entirely accurate either. Most just use an RGBG subpixels layout which means there are twice as mean G pixels as R or B but they count the resolution as the G's so yes, if you do the math on there are twice as many total sub pixels as pixels but it's not quite as simple as that, and the weird subpixel layout means that vertical/horizontal lines aren't as sharp as on an RGB subpixel layout but diagonal lines tend to be better
Nice.
@@ChrisD__ You've got me there
To all the VR fans out there. I can't wait for the VR community to fly off! Let's support alll these developers so the big AAA companies will see light and start making contents for VR!
i like how he is comparing his $2000 dollar gaming monitor to a 400 vr headset
Is there a LTT Oculus quest review out there somewhere that I am not finding?
He just mixed them up, the quest should come soon
He's trying to get people to pay for it by making you go to that floatplane site. Just wait a few weeks, it'll be up then.
He bought it for the cat.
The VR headset was a bonus.
I got my Rift S about 2 months ago and i still love it the tracking is much better then you think! I literally can't see any screen door effect, it was a really good buy!
Same, this being my only vr experience the frame rate does not bug me at all.
Yeah inside out is the way to go. Haven’t had a problem with the tracking at all. Picks up movement just fine. Only thing i wish the Rift s had was a wider FOV.
Okay great. I'm really thinking about getting one :D
@@atramentius9777 yeah i have nothing bad to say about it, it's truly amazing!
@@atramentius9777 same no comlaints, it's a great option
I just got the rift s for Christmas and I love it!!!!
From a scale of 1 to 10 how easy was it to set up??
@@cookiedough2535 is 10 hard or 1 hard? Got mine before Christmas, it was 10 /10 easy to set up.
I kind of miss Tunnelbear, every time he says "is brought to you by" I still hear it in my head.
Same
Yeah death for it would have been bittersweet but Mcafee is just desecration
I was gonna say that!
For anyone that doesn’t casually have 1,000 laying around for the valve index the rift s honestly is the way to go the halo rig for me is very comfortable sliding on and off with out readjusting. It also only took me 15 mins to setup
THANK YOU!!!
Jason Park does my graphics card have to be strong or something??
@@chemica7vortex921 depends on the game as its effectively a external monitor glued to your face
I wish there would be more places that had physical displays of these headsets so we can try them out, because I think a lot of it still goes into your comfort with the headset. But yes of course, if I didn't have the extra 600 usd to put out for an index, I would definitely get the Rift S (Or the quest) because it seems easy and simple-enough to use without getting the headaches in comparison to building your own VR setup using a phone and PS move controllers.
save for vive pro, cosmos elite or index even though their controllers have issues, this was written from a Quest
"Double A batteries for Quick Swapping" Linus could sell ice to an Eskimo
I agree with Linus completely. I've been turned away from Vive demos at conferences because they were recharging their wands. I've never once not been able to play my Rift due to controller charge. I love it.
There are good reasons for one or the other, sadly, few companies do it the proper way. Allow USB-C charging of a removable Li-ion or NiMH pack which when removed, exposes standard AA/AAA battery compartments. That is the ideal way to handle battery packs for portable/removables, but there's a lot of reasons, mostly space-related, why it it's not done like that.
Rechargable batteries are the best. They are available anywhere and if they wear down, you replace them. It's a very durable decision. Not that it matters because the non-detachable and fragile cable will be totally ruined long before any rechargable batteries would have worn out.
@@Cosmitzian Xbox controllers use to do this. But mainly I think it's a safety/legal problem of if there is ever 1 fire on the whole planet with that pack, they could get into a lot of trouble.
Just got one and it"s fantastic. I"m literally watching and commenting from it. Using the VR keyboard and my screen is huge! When I make a typo I just point to the screen.
Fantastic reivew - I hope Facebook see this and take some notes!
So who's excited for OC6!
Is it just me or has Linus not reviewed the Oculus Quest yet??
I've seen that from a lot of people but I could have sworn I've seen it...
I can't find the video, maybe they haven't uploaded it yet?
@@notfish I would just search for it but I can't remember if it was called "YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS" or "ONE MAJOR FLAW BUT SHOULD YOU STILL BUY IT?"
I feel like I remember watching it, but searching for it on the LTT channel it doesn't show up.
don't you have to pay for floatplane?
something i feel needs to be mentioned, it doesn't require as much graphical and cpu power to run. much better option for budget gamer's
Hello, I have a question. Im thinking of buying this but I have the acer nitro 5 which runs on a gtx 1050 ti, well at least mine does anyway. Could that work on a playable experience?
@@theo-nh6bx anything under 6GB is a no. if i remember right a 1050ti is only 4gb
DO NOT BUY THE RIFT S... I bought the rift s and it was a BIG mistake, after owning it for 8 months it starts to crash every 15 minutes or so and the controllers cover broke within a year compared to the quest 2 aka meta quest 2 has better quality and doesn't crash frequently, I hope at least one person gets the quest 2 instead of this from this comment
2:13 No, I've had the Rift S for months and I've also tried a lot of ther Headsets and the Rift S is by far my favorite, then it's the Index because of the price, but overall the Rift S actually has the best tracking after the Index, including both inside out and outside sensor tracking group...
Is it any better than the quest 2?
only reason i don't buy oculus is i don't want anything that facebook is connected to with a camera anywhere near me. that's why i deleted my facebook account 4 years ago. they are the last company i would ever trust with a connected camera in my home.
My guy, the cameras look like they were found on the back of the calculator. Trust me Facebook can’t see anything, I have one.
@@lauriestockbridge-leather2917 they are good enough for tracking.
6:59 but, the rift s costs less than half the Vive pro
And the graphics are literally better
@@risthejedi well if you like insanely lots res and a lot of SDE go with oculus I guess.
There are so many paid oculus reviewers out there. The headsets look like first-gen headsets inside.
I suggest you find a convention/exibition and see how awful the rift and quest actually look compared to the competition.
Linus is so pretty
I think the "lateral thinking through withered technology" route makes sense in trying to push this kind of tech to the masses tbh. This is the headset I plan to save for.
Spot on David. I sat on the fence for half a decade, this is my entry level set for sure, saving now.
@@EQOAnostalgia Rift s is better than the quest, believe me. Oculus link doesn't even work and the store is limited.
I got my rift S a few days ago and it is a pleasure. The new features on the Quest don't mean that they won't work on the Rift S anymore. Plus, if you are strictly a PC gamer, the Rift S is still the better headset of the two, by far.
My mind is trying to make an original comment.
Take your time
Too bad your fingers didn’t get the message :(
I know this is an old video, but I am going to give you a great reason not to buy a Rift S or anything oculus ever again for that matter. Recently we started having issues with the headset due to the cable being kinked. So I went to oculus website to order a replacement cable to which I was greeted with an out of stock / notify me message. So I opened a support ticket and they made me jump through all kinds of hoops just to tell me in the end that the cable was not currently available, and they did not know when it would be available again. And to add insult to injury they told me to check for one on amazon and ebay (they are available on these sites prices range from $160 to $200. I'm not paying that much!) It makes it even worse that this is a headset that they are still selling! To my logical mind, this is the biggest customer service/support fail that I have encountered in my life. In the end, I did the only sensible thing that I could: I ordered a valve index and have sworn off oculus forever!
i wish i had the money to buy a valve index
Well, you did a great review just in time to throw it down the toilet, given the recent announcement of Oculus Link.
Literally right before
For my own purposes, I don't see much of a compelling reason to exchange my Rift S for a Quest. The Rift S is lighter, has more subpixels, less latency, and a higher refresh rate. Of course, these are minor advantages, but they are more advantages than the quest for me for a few reasons. The main reason being I don't have a huge use for the portability. People say it's for the social factor, but I think it's worse because with a PC VR headset your friends can see your perspective mirrored onto your monitor, while with the Quest they can't even see what you're playing, removing the point of playing it socially. Additionally, I have no reason to remove it from my house except for maybe extended vacations, but if I'm in vacation in a beautiful place, I feel as if being tech free or at least tech limited is better, so I probably wouldn't bring a vr headset. Also the link cable brings the price up to almost $500. If I hadn't purchased a headset would I get the Quest because it has Oculus Link and the portability there for a few rare cases? Maybe, I would consider it. But for my purposes and PC VR users, the Rift S is more compelling and there isn't really a good reason to exchange. Also, I bet the Rift S will go down in price, so it may be a great option for people looking for a good yet affordable PC VR headset. And I can almost garuntee finger tracking will be implemented for the Rift S in the near future. But that's just my two cents.
@Lightbringer I've been chatting with many people who own both and the difference is noticeable but not that great.
