Can i only use HTC Vive Vr headset for this game?

[Rob]

I really wanna get a vr headset for my pc and get this game, but i looked up the htc vive and its $600, i dont really wanna spend that kinda money right now. are there any other headsets that are compatible with this game? such as oculus rift or something. Im a complete noob to this VR stuff. please help

It'll work on Rift. You'll have to do a bit of work to get it playing smoothly, though.

vive is the only one officially supported. any other headset is on you to get working.

Just save up. Can't you wait? You know, like a normal person? I didn't whine that I couldn't spend $1,500 on a used truck, I waited five months and saved the $1,500. Now I have a truck.

I can't even fathom being worried about saving up $600 and I make $11/hr living by myself.

I just asked a question, no need to be like that. Didnt really ask about your life bud. It just seems like a really cool concept of fallout 4 Vr and i was just saying Im not really willing to spend a total of 660 when the only really thing in vr im interested in is the fallout game. no need to be a ♥♥♥♥.

VR is cool as a hobby, buit it has a pretty big entry cost - but, VR will get cheaper and better in time. I spent about half a year saving up for mine, and in that time they delivered a better system than the one I was saving for (bought a vive, but was saving for an oculus - you know what? No regrets) . What I would recommend is doing that, and maybe buying a few wishlisted titles when they are on super sale (50%+ off), so you have a modest library when you actually get the vr. You'll get there faster than you think.

And BEFORE you buy a vr, make sure your graphics card is up to the job. There are a couple of free benchmarking utilities for that.

As for blockbuster (meaning wallet buster titles) like Fallout 4, wait a minute. The price will eventually go down, and it will be every bit as cool then as now.

Robby, what is your budget, and what are the specifications of your PC.
This game will play on the Vive and the Rift only, How much is the rift in your country?

your set up is fine for vr. but honestly just save for the vive. it might take you a while but in that time the vive might get even cheaper and the game will for sure as well. and more vr games will come out to and youll have plenty of choice. you won't regret waiting a bit.

The game work fine on a Samsung odyssey. No special tweak for the control.

In fact I'm waiting to see how well this game runs on Riftcat with PSmove controllers and a Gear VR.

If this will be your first VR game and you get it for any headset other than the Vive, then this will be the last VR game you play for the next decade. You will refund everything and never try again. Ever. For 1 decade. You'll join the group of those who still scream gimmick.

Fallout VR plays fine on the Rift. Controls are even workable. The control fix is easy to do and then the game plays as good as on the Vive. Vive and Rift do basically the same honestly. Keep in mind this is a Steam forum full of Vive fans, who tend to be a little "protective" of the Vive. Do your own research and get unbiased opinons.... which is hard to find here.
