@bigmike ... hey totally in tune with your thinking old man ( old man here too 😉 ) and also I only want the DK2 to play rFactor2, Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, Euro Truck Sim 2 and Elite Dangerous ( in no particular order).
So what is your pc setup bigmike ? you mention ETS2 was lacking in resoulution ! I currently play on a 27inch Asus 3Dvision Monitor at 1080p and 120hz with a i7-2600K and Gigabyte 780OC vidcard. With that setup I get easily frames above 75 per second ...
So knowing what you know already having the DK2 and since you stated you play racing games etc. will I be able to achieve the magic 75fps in those games mentioned ?
Thanks for your wisdom old fella ! :mrgreen:

Hello all.
I am not a devellopers. But I am an enthousiaste gamer. And I am considering buying a DK2 for gaming purpose.
Now, before latching out that the DK2 is still for devs and I shouldn’t buy one, read a bit further.
I have spent enough time reading this forum to know what I am not getting. I KNOW that the DK2 is not a finished product, and I’m aware of the many shortcoming that makes it unfit for mass market.
But even though I’m not an active develloper, I am not « mass market » either. I am so interrested in a device that could provide more immersive gaming that I might be willing to ignore the imperfections to get it before a few years.
Keeping that in mind, what I’m asking you, happy DK2 owners, is an honnest, objective evaluation on how usable the current DK2 is.
Beyond constructive critisism that is already on the forum, when all is said about limited FOV, still limited resolution, very limited support of commercial games, nausea still an issue, lenses or screen getting dirty, difficulty to set up the device … once you’ve pointed out all that need to be improved further, are you still left with a good gaming experience ?
Has anyone tried using the DK2 for actual gaming sessions of at least 2/3 hours ? Is it really just an interresting experiment, or is it already an immersive gaming solution ?
Please try to think as if you were talking with a friend, keep in mind I know I am not getting a market-ready product, and considering that, try answer the question : Despite it’s flaws, is it still possible to get real gaming experience out of the DK2 ?
I was able to decide by myself that for the DK1, the answer was « no, not really ». But for the DK2, I am still hesitant.
Hence this post.
Also, please don’t go for the « stealing a dev’s rift. » argument.
I have not ordered mine. Even if I do, i won’t get it until late september batch. By then there will be more than enough rifts for everybody …

however Euro truck sumulator, which is much more focussed on small details rather than the vehicles the size of houses, I do think the resolution hampers the game somewhat, and will be much better in CV1.
