imacken Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yep, saw that yesterday. No details, but the audio option is interesting. I loved the off-ear audio when I had an Index. As an aside, the new unnamed Valve game released yesterday is absolutely stunning on the Reverb.

pimp Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 They just need to redesign their cables. I think it's the main reason why the headset have issues. The cables are too thick/heavy, IMO. i9 9900k @5.1GHz NZXT Kraken |Asus ROG Strix Z390 E-Gaming | Samsung NVMe m.2 970 Evo 1TB | LPX 64GB DDR4 3200MHz EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra | Reverb G1 | HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Flight Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Where are you seeing any specs? If the headset in the video is in fact a G2 (prototype) and not a placeholder, it appears to not have a wide FOV. But it's speculation until the specs are released.

Gman109 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Ahhh come on. Just purchased the Reverb Pro last week and now this ElohEl - you know how many times I've felt the same thing? Then multiply your feeling by 2 or 3, as I have 3 gamers/gaming desk/stations to equip. I've sold so many Rifts, Vives, Vive Pros, Pimaxs, Odysseys, Odyssey +s, etc etc, whenever a newer/better VR HMD comes out, that I think my local post office has made enough to pay an employee for an entire year at this point. I wouldn't worry about it though man, as others have said, it'll be a while under normal circumstances, and with the CoVid deal, even longer, much longer most like.

Taz1004 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I don't understand why they don't add a camera in the back of the headset. It would improve the tracking so much.

imacken Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Little bit more detail https://www.roadtovr.com/rumor-leaked-hp-reverb-g2-four-camera-new-controllers/ I'm wondering if I can see off-ear audio in those photos. Maybe this is the Valve involvement. I did like that aspect of the Index when I had one.

Dont care: Reverb earpieces were ok IMO I feel the same way, but for VR to be acceptable to me in flight sims is less about the HMD, and more about the grunt powering it. That is, the PC that is pushing frames to the HMD. Until I can hit the same minimum frame rate as the HMD's refresh rate, which is 60Hz in the Reverb Pro's low refresh rate mode, reprojection will always be a deal-breaker for me.

dburne Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 If it still requires WMR, I will likely not purchase one. I just see an awful lot of faffing about on forums from folks running WMR devices along with Steam VR. I can deal with Steam VR, but that combined with WMR and I am very hesitant.

imacken Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 There is no problem with WMR and SteamVR if people just follow the correct procedure, and that is put on the headset, let Cliff House load, and then click on DCS.
