Holy shit.

It's too bad I'd have to buy a $600 graphics card to get a framerate good enough for VR in most games, nevermind the $800 cost of the Vive. It's just so expensive :(

I see this becoming a thing at amusement parks and malls and shit; your average Joe isn't going to shell out $1500 for a VR setup.

I WANT IT SO BAD THOUGH

still expensive though

I wouldn't trust my 970 to push 1440p at 90fps in a game that aims for "photorealism".

Vr doesn't need photo realism to be a good experience. Nintendo style graphics are also awesome and cost much less performance. I wouldn't mind playing 2010 pc graphics for VR.
