[HTC - Vive, Compatibility]

This space game looks great but I'm only interested in buying if it does in fact support VR.  I have Elite Dangerous and that's an amazing experience with the Vive.

 

Star Citizen will also have VR this year or next year.

so i just read, the vive needs to have 2 sensor thingies installed on your walls?

 

big turnoff.

 

No.  Vive comes with tripod mounts and wall mounts.  If you don't want to use the included wall mounts then you can screw the lighthouses on to standard tripod mounts or even just sit them on a very firm surface.  They must not be moved or knocked when powered.  Vive tracking is superior.  Those lasers see everything.

after research i have come to the simple conclusion that the rift is the best choice because it has a headphone built in.

 

all its missing is a mic and maybe gloves that correspond to the motion sensor.

 

Your research wasn't very substantial.  Basing your decision on a pair of slightly above average earphones is kind of silly.  I was an Oculus user for a year and it was a lot of fun but in no way compares to the Vive experience.  Vive doesn't come with headphones... it comes with a headphone jack socket so you can easily plug in any headphones.  I prefer to use a separate cable because I have Sennheiser Game One with the mic.

Space flight = HOTAS for me or I don't buy... simple as that.  I always go for maximum realism and sitting pushing a mouse around and pressing keys ruins that realism.
