== Who the devil are you Sir? ==
I play with VR on my weekends and schedule video posts through the week. I am not affiliated with any company. At this time I have access to Oculus Rift DK1 & DK2 HMD Technology. As more VR tech is released I will invest my own money in order to continue to review, compare and contrast. I run this for the love of the technology, I am not paid for my opinion, and as a result my opinions will remain unbiased.

It's bloody lovely in VR innit? Do you know you don't need to push enter with the gaze control? You can just hover the pointer. I love giving demos too, village fair sounds like a good opportunity!
are you in a plane or a train?
I got to have a go on my son's Cv1 in war thunder. jets are epic!!
I will play PCars again when I got a GTX1080. IRacing will support VR soon as well.
PCars is amazing. Wish I could look around inside the car in any direction by gampad like you by headtracking.
great stuff chris just relaxed and watched this….interesting to listen to also man. just wish i could try this 🙁 dk1 is all i have tried…years ago and just for a week and nuts about vr ever since. cardboard is what i have lol and its just what is sounds like …..cccrraaaaaap!….i just watch these videos and burn my imagination trying to feel what it must be like now with the cv1 or even dk1 or 2 lol……..some day eh!anyway thanks for doing that little drive around with greg after me requesting it im sure i wasnt the only one to request it but it was nice to see it granted although your all busy at different times and time lines with the spies and i appreciate that so cheers! keep them videos like this one comig too there nice to get into. i like to catch them live but hey…if i see them i defo jump in to watch :)
Why dont you use mic on the Oculus?
cant wait for my 1080^^
Why are you using a separate mic instead of the Rift's mic, isn't it sufficient?
Subbed. This was a pleasant surprise to watch. Also good on you for helping the kid save face.
Could you share your project cars config with us?
Thanks Chris 🙂 Great to spend an hour chillin' watching you shoot the breeze , so much content now dude i officially cant keep up lol , the #VRSpies are kickin' it 'rock on tommy' lol , as for me myself and i ? ,playin' , but not recording.. its kinda cathartic 🙂 cheers dude
That go-kart bit was incredible. I actually vocalized during the crash

I've tried convincing my boss to stock VR products, but he just thinks its a toy for kids. He refuses to even try VR. Because ya know even if he takes his mind off work for 2 seconds than thats 2 seconds he's not making money.
Thanks for the vid. Apologies if it was mentioned here or in a Spies podcast and I missed it: Is this version purchased through Steam or the Oculus Store? I imagined it is best optimized in the Oculus Store, however, I fear not being able to play with friends who run it in Steam. Also, the standard version is only $30 in Steam, and in the Oculus Store is only the GotY for $60. When you play with everyone, are you all using Steam? Thanks.
Finally got my Oculus the other week. A couple of things never seen to get mentioned…
1) You can't adjust the focus of either eye like you could with the dev kits and has also been standard on binoculars for over 100 years, incredibly annoying.
2) The low res you get. Frankly the res you see here in this video is nothing like you get in your headset. And I don't understand why as the vertical res is over 1000p yet feels like SD 🙁
However having pointed out those glaring issues I still love it and Project Cars play supremely well with the right set up.
Good video, but for a review far too long. I skipped through to find your thoughts and criticisms on the VR experience but couldn't find them…
For me, it was an easy choise. HTC vive FTW!
Oculus and facebook is not my cup of tee
