star trek VR game

[Nimmoth]

ive been binging on day 1 of E3..and the ubisoft presentation had an announcement/preview of Star Trek Bridge Crew..a new VR (occulus rift) game coming out..OMG OMG OMG

 

im ordering the new occulus as soon as available..we will have to play this, as it is multiplayer

 it is a JJ verse tho..but hey, looks really cool and shiney. 

imaging us on the actual bridge, each doing a real job..enigineer, capt. tac. etc..

i call captains chair!

My interest has been Piqued! I would love to do this. Anybody else? What are the costs and PC specs needed? And which is better Oculus Rift or Vive?

I think there be a fight on there hands who sit in the captains chair we might all have to take turns at it ..lol

well, i have been following the rift for a long time..it is the defacto name in VR-kinda like coke original, brought the whole VR back to vocabulary since it faded from memory in 1999 or so. 

 

dont know the big differences between the two, but rift has been in development way longer, has open SDK, and is kinda the benchmark for all the others coming out.

as far as specs go, you will need a new video card, suggest nvidia 800 series or better. video card must be VR ready-it will list it as a feature. 

the GPU handles most of the gaming, so thats the biggest piece you will need. a decent system would be like an i5 2ghz and 8gb ram. 

im running off 3yr old i7 and 32gb ram..but my card(s) need an upgrade too. currently 2x gti 680's..so i would say for me, a $300-500 video card investment (not including the rift unit) is needed. 

the dk2 rift is sold out, so it now cost $600 for a rift. sigh.

The only thing I want to know is can I fly a jet pack on Risa? If not, the it isn't worth my money.

 It's not all that commonly used of a word any more by most folk, at least in my experience. You're good, sir.
