@RedRizla - I think SIM Enthusiasts are going for Reverb. Seems the best overall visuals available from an HMD. And due to the nature of SIMS, the fact that it uses 2-front-facing cameras isn't much of an issue.However, one trend that seems to be popping up is that the Valve Index seems the smarter option over anything Pimax. Essentially, Valve just made Pimax 5k/8K look Super Derp.
Hmm...lets see the full reviews (with games etc) first before Pimax bashing.
If you bought the Pimax as a kickstarter product (like many did) the Valve Index is not really a step up especially after all the hype. The specs alone with the Valve Index is underwhelming e.g FOV and Resolution.

They have been talking about 3 exclusive VR titles for soooo loooong.
And they cant even reveal a title at Index reveal. 🙂

The specs alone with the Valve Index is underwhelming e.g FOV and Resolution.I'm referring to some of the stuff I've read others talking about (which I can dig up later). But we have a full Pimax Megathread here that went on for over a year. So any "Pimax bashing" is most certainly based on watching the promises of the Kickstarter constantly changing over time.Now if you want to Police the forum for any "bashing" then maybe start with all of it, including the long history of Oculus bashing. We've already had posts this month saying "RIP Oculus" lol.Your post reminds me of how "Oculus Bashing" is treated so commonplace and ordinary, while bashing any other product is so incredibly out of place and taboo! lol

Yup, I've found the specs disappointing too tbh. If they're going to release a 1600p headset they REALLY need to knock a few hundred quid off the bloody price.
At this moment in time the Pimax 5K+ is looking like a better buy than the Valve Index, and I NEVER thought I would say that.

Pimax wasn't clear about those 3 levels of FOV until well AFTER they made a promise of 200 degrees FOV at 8K resolution. Then when it was fully funded and about a year went by... suddenly reality set in and those lower level FOV settings became the true product feature.If we are going to be unbiased and honest, the Pimax promised 200dFOV and delivered 130-170 after taking everyone's money. That's not "being clear."
