Palmer Luckey; PSVR not as "high end" as Rift.

OR is high-end...oh dear.

Sorry, not even close. StarVR is high end VR headset with 5120x1440 resolution and 210 degree FOV vs 110 of OR.

As for OR CV1 - people who tried it say it's much better than DK2 (which is honestly not that good), but this seems to be due to better optics, not better screen - screen is still PenTile (which means 1 Blue and 1 Red for 2 Green subpixels), and PSVR's full RGB screen while slightly lower in res is said to have similar or even better image.

StarVR is nuts, it's beyond high end.  It's enthusiast.  There's not likely many PCs that will even be able to run it.  Additionally resolution isn't everything.  

I haven't heard many comparisons to PSVR with the new OR headset.  

 

I agree, resolution is not everything. That FOV however....it's 210Hx130V, that's almost like reality. Add on that that you can put markers on pretty much anything and StarVR will track it, so you have far more versatile experience.

It is true that you need insane rig to run what is almost 4K in pixel count, @90Hz, so probably at least 980Ti SLI, but anyway, the whole point was that OR is not high end - this thingy is - so Palmer should really not throw around such silly PR statements.
