VR is a novelty at best. I have the rift S and ACC is the best out there for it and im sorry but it still looks like crap with a super computer pushing it. I mean its drivable, and I crank everything up but its still really big pixels with extremely limited draw distance\detail. I appreciate the vr effort for dirt2 but vr takes a great game and makes it look like a Laurel and Hardy cartoon. And even if it did work flawlessly, I have this chunk of plastic hanging on the front of my face. Long races are out due to sweat and I have had the optics fog on me. I have loud paddles and the built in speakers on the rift really do nothing to hide that or any other noise within a mile of me. But my $24 Amazon headphones do it all just fine. Yea, I tried them overtop of the rift but they push the rift down harder on my nose , so no.
VR is in the same place it was 2 years ago really. No new developments and the second generation machines really aren't that much different then the first generation. I know the Rift is not the end all VR machine but rather a lower middle of the road answer. I chose this because I had read up on it for months before I took the plunge. I can not vouch for better machines as $400 was enough to me for a peek. When I get around to getting a flight stick, my opinions may change. Flying seems to be extremely cool in VR. My daughter really likes it for the college level games so there is a value to owning it but after I got sick of adjusting settings and messing with it, I built a 3 screen racing simulator and am so angry at myself for taking so long to do it. If this is something you all really enjoy doing, build a simulator. The immersion level is crazy.
